Chapter 87: Greed

Elder Shen sighed and said with a sad expression: "These are the dowries left to her by my wife's mother. We had to leave it to our daughters, but we had four sons, and when my wife left, she regretted that she would leave these inheritances to our granddaughters in the future. Maybe the four who don't make it, only the eldest has such a star, and I don't know if I can see a granddaughter born in the future. ”

"......" Zhao Hong didn't want to take it, because the four young masters of the Shen family really didn't have the lives of their daughters.

Zhao Hong didn't want to tell the truth, so as not to hit Shen Lao, the best way was to be silent, but he was thinking in his heart: What about the ancients who said that they were patriarchal?

The original owner was recruited, and Mrs. Shen was also recruited, and even the laws of the imperial court had clear regulations on recruiting, it seems that she wore a not pure antiquity!

Zhao Hong didn't speak, but was a little curious, what did Shen Lao mean by showing her these things, could he let her keep them for Shen Nanxing?

"The family's property will inevitably be divided by those four stinky boys, and I have also purchased some over the years, and they will all be left to Xing'er. But this thought of Madame, I must fulfill for her in my lifetime. After speaking, Shen Lao looked at Zhao Hong.

"......" Nani?

Zhao Hong raised his eyebrows, he was confused by Shen Lao's words, can't we order directly?

"Actually, my wife was adopted by my father-in-law. My father-in-law was afraid that my mother-in-law would not be able to bear the blow, so he did not dare to tell her about the early death of his beloved daughter, so he adopted my wife. But the mother and daughter are connected, and my mother-in-law found out the truth, and it was not until she passed away that she told my father-in-law the truth, and told my father-in-law that even if he remarried, he must raise my wife well, and her dowry must be left to my wife. ”

"At that time, my wife was only four or five years old, and because she missed her mother, she secretly went to see it, and she happened to hear these words. But my father-in-law and mother-in-law are extremely affectionate, and they have never married, so my wife rotted this secret into her stomach, and she only confessed it to me before she passed away, and wanted me to protect the Shen family on her behalf, not to let the Shen Ji Medical Hall disappear, and not to let the ancestors of the Shen family have less offerings. ”

After Shen Lao said these words, he let out another long sigh, his eyes moistened.

It's just that I don't know if Shen Lao died because of the deep love of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, or his wife's twists and turns and lucky fate, but in the end Fanghua died early.

Although Shen Lao said a rough idea, there was no emotional fluctuation. But Zhao Hong can still imagine how affectionate the two old men of the Shen family who passed away were.

Mrs. Shen, who has passed away, must also be a grateful and kind person.

With such a big secret, it is estimated that he is the first outsider to know, and even the Shen family does not know the inside story, otherwise the Shen Ji Medical Hall would have been taken away by the Shen family a long time ago.

Zhao Hong suddenly didn't understand why Shen Lao wanted to tell her this, shouldn't this kind of secret be rotten in her stomach?

Shen Lao could see Zhao Hong's doubts, and Shen Lao said: "You saved the lives of our ancestors and grandchildren, and it is not enough to give you any amount of silver, so that the Shen family can pass it on, which is the greatest wish of my deceased wife and father-in-law." Zhao Hong, Xing'er, this kid likes you very much, more than his father and a few uncles. I don't know when I'm going to reunite with my deceased wife, and what I can't worry about the most is not Shen Ji, nor the four evil obstacles, but Xing'er. ”

"Shen Lao ......" Zhao Hong had a faint guess in his heart, but he was not very sure, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.

"It's just a thought of me and my deceased wife, and you don't need to change your surname, how about being our goddaughter?" Afraid of being rejected by Zhao Hong, Shen Lao said again: "Actually, I still have a selfish heart, if you are Xing'er's aunt, no one will gossip for a few years with you." I don't have the energy to raise him, but he is a little resistant to the rest of the family, and I am afraid that this child will become eccentric in the long run. ”

"......" Zhao Hong was speechless, looked up at the sky, looked at the dark roof, and suddenly wanted to greet the great god of crossing.

Does this mean that she felt that she was too lonely in her previous life? So in this life, she has become a professional baby raiser.

Without waiting for Zhao Hong to speak, Shen Lao pushed the title deed over and said, "These are the dowries that my stepmother and I prepared for you, although it is late, but the intention is the same." ”

"Shen Lao, I can't ......" to accept it.

"That's it, I'll have to go to the thatched hut and practice asceticism. Xing'er left it for you, that child is not a squeamish, you usually treat his grandson how you want to treat him. If you are missing something, let someone bring me a letter, and I will have everything for you. ”

Without giving Zhao Hong a chance to refuse, Shen Lao walked to the door, "Your stepmother also left a lot of jewelry and other things, I know that you don't want those things, they are all put in my private vault, if Xing'er marries a daughter-in-law in the future and can give birth to a daughter, she will give my great-granddaughter a dowry." If he can't give birth to a daughter in his life, then he will pass it down for the rest of his life, and the right is to leave a thought. ”

"By the way, I have ordered someone to find a suitable private school teacher, go back and let them enlighten in your house first, and when they are a little older, they can be sent to the county seat to study, so that a few boys also have a companion. I look at that little girl in your house very dexterously, saying that there is a sitting gentleman at home to study with me, and I don't have any scruples. ”

When the last sentence was finished, Shen Lao had already stepped out, and this time Zhao Hong didn't have a chance to speak if he wanted to refuse, unless she caught up and spoke.

Knowing that Shen Lao had already made up his mind, Zhao Hong looked at the title deed on the table and was silent for a long time.

Thinking about the pros and cons clearly, Zhao Hong decided to acquiesce to this godfather, whether it was to ask for a backer for himself, or for the juniors, the advantages always outweighed the disadvantages.

After reading the title deeds one by one, Zhao Hong knew how much of a bargain she had picked up, but if she didn't bother to take care of Shen Nanxing, she was sorry for the benefit given by Shen Lao.

However, Zhao Hong is not greedy, she can use these shops to make money, but when she is gone, these things will be returned to Shen Nanxing, this is the ancestral business that the descendants of the Shen family should keep, and it is also the love of the Shen family for their children and grandchildren.

If the dogs have the ability in the future, they will make a difference even if they don't leave them anything, but if they don't have the ability to leave more things and can't keep them, it will increase their inertia and lose their enterprising spirit.

Thinking like this, Zhao Hong put away the things with peace of mind, and suddenly there were so many industries, and she became more and more confident, she is now a real little rich woman, right?

Zhao Hong, who was too involved in thinking about things, didn't realize that Lin Qiao had already entered the house and saw those land deeds.

"Mother, where did you get so much confidence, did your grandfather and grandmother leave it to you? I'm my mother's daughter, so my mother will give me a place, right? Lin Qiao's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to pounce on him and grab one and put it in his arms.

Zhao Hong turned his head suddenly, saw Lin Qiao's greedy eyes, and said coldly: "I told you a long time ago, the mother-daughter relationship between you and me has been broken, you don't need to call me mother anymore, these things have nothing to do with you, even if I don't have anyone around me in a hundred years, I'd rather return to the court, you don't want to get involved." ”

Lin Qiao looked at Zhao Hong incredulously and shouted, "Mother, are you crazy?" ”
