14. The origin of grievances
The feud between the peasant family and the Nguyen clan has become almost a well-known secret.
Competition is inevitable among businessmen. In this world, as long as there is a relationship between competition and interests, grievances will naturally arise. The peasant family, as a chaebol magnate that has survived several generations of ups and downs, is between the Nguyen family, a newly rising aristocracy. In the eyes of many people, the contradiction between the two families stems from interests.
If a rich person only has money in his eyes, it can only mean that he is not rich enough at all. The real aristocracy, they have more than just money in people's mouths. They at least have a pattern and vision that ordinary people do not have.
As a member of the Ruan family, Ruan Xing naturally knew that their grievances with the Nong family were by no means because of interests. If they really only had so-called interests in their eyes, the four major families would have already been beaten to the ground.
At the end of the meeting, Ruan Xing thought about it again and again, and finally dialed his mother's phone.
As the four major families that can affect the economic lifeline of a country, in fact, you have long been with me, and I with you. In addition to competition, they are more cooperative. In Ruan Xing's impression, when he was a child, he often followed his parents to visit the farmhouse.
No one knows why, all of a sudden, the two families who were originally good began to fight each other. When he grew up, Ruan Xing once asked this question, but it seemed to be a taboo in their family, and the result of each question was dismissed with various reasons and excuses.
After the phone call was connected, Ruan Xing's mother was first concerned about her daughter's body. Knowing her son Mo Ruo's mother, Ruan Xing's mother knows very well that Ruan Xing, who has never cared about the family business, took the initiative to come to China this time to keep an eye on the matter of the World Kung Fu Fighting Competition, in order to find out the cause of Robert's death.
"How's Robert's deal?" Ruan Xing's mother asked distressedly. Although she did not support her daughter's relationship with a so-called artist. But who has never been young, as a mother, she understands what it would be like for her daughter to lose her beloved. Sometimes she really hopes that Ruan Xing can cry in her arms.
"There are already some clues. At least his death has been confirmed to be not as simple as it seems. Ruan Xing said.
"Ah, what's going on, are you in danger?" Ruan Xing's mother asked with some concern. She remembers that the information from the police said that it might have been a simple robbery and murder.
"The specific situation is still under investigation." Ruan Xing asked his mother again on the phone, "Mom, can you tell me what is going on between our family and Grandpa Nong?" ”
"Why did you suddenly ask about this?" Ruan Xing's mother was silent for a while and then suddenly asked, "You tell me, is Robert'er's death related to the farmer?" ”
After so many years of marriage, under the protection of Nguyen Van Hao, she has always lived an almost indisputable life. Although she doesn't have much to do, Ruan Xing's mother is not stupid. As soon as he finished talking about Robert, Ruan Xing suddenly asked about the farmer's affairs for a reason.
Ruan Xing had already heard her mother's worries on the phone, and she hurriedly told her mother that she didn't have to worry.
"I'm just worried that someone wants to take advantage of the conflict between Ruan Nong's two families to do things." Ruan Xing made an excuse and said.
On the other end of the phone, Ruan Xing's mother also thought about it for a long time. Because this incident involved several murders.
Under Ruan Xing's repeated questioning, Ruan Xing's mother finally decided to tell her what happened back then.
Speaking of the whole thing, it has to start with Ruan Xing's mother. Since giving birth to Ruan Xing, her health has not been very good. In order to take better care of Nguyen Xing's mother, Nguyen Van Ho hired a graduating college student at the medical school to take care of her daily life.
Xiaowan is the name of this female student, and she also looks beautiful. Especially those smart eyes, as if they can speak. She didn't come to work at Ruan's house out of her own volition. To put it mildly, she was sold by her father to the Ruan family as a maid. Xiao Wan's father worked in Nguyen Van Ho's factory, and lost his fortune because of a gamble. Therefore, he had to sell his daughter, who was still in college, to work in the Ruan family for three years, in exchange for the money to repay gambling debts.
Over the phone, Ruan Xing's mother had already heard Ruan Xing's surprise when she heard this. In life, Ruan Xing is a person who has never suffered hardship. A person who has not suffered will naturally not understand what the hardships of life are.
"What age is it, there is such a thing as selling daughters. My dad is really ......."
Ruan Xing's mother naturally heard her daughter's dissatisfaction. She wasn't in a hurry to argue anything. Because I was also young, when I was young, I was not the same as my daughter now. She just asked Ruan Xing if she knew how many people in China would die every year because they couldn't eat and couldn't afford to see a doctor. Sometimes we have to admit that when we face hunger and death, dignity can seem humble and irrelevant. Compared with being a capitalist servant, there are more industries in this society that are not offline waiting for young and beautiful girls like Xiaowan.
Xiao Wan's job is mainly to take care of Ruan Xing's mother. In fact, when it comes to taking care, the Ruan family has a special cook, a special doctor, and even a special person is responsible for the work of cleaning the room. Therefore, she still has a lot of free time to read. She doesn't like the job, but she does it with all her heart. Through her efforts, Ruan Xing's mother's health has improved significantly.
Although Ruan Xing's mother has a noble background, it was her slightly embarrassing identity that made her realize the difficulty of life early. Therefore, she is not without the arrogance of many people in powerful families. And after getting along for a period of time, Xiaowan and Ruan Xing's mother are like sisters. Every time their family goes out, they take Xiaowan with them. Outside, it is not only convenient to take care of Ruan Xing's mother at any time, but also to act as a family doctor.
But they didn't expect that because of this, it would harm Xiaowan's life.
The power of the peasant family is huge, but the population is not prosperous. Nong Jinsong is the only son of the old man. They have been passed down from generation to generation for three consecutive generations. Like Ruan Wenhao, he was sent abroad to study by the old farmer at a young age.
may have the same experience, so Nong Jinsong and Nguyen Van Hao can be regarded as acquaintances at first sight. Xiaowan also became familiar with Nong Jinsong in the interaction between the two families.
I believe that if it weren't for the huge identity difference, they would be an enviable couple. In fact, Nong Jinsong, who studied abroad since childhood, does not agree with the so-called identity and status. In his opinion, nothing can be more important than two people falling in love with each other.
However, for such a wealthy aristocrat as the farmer, Nong Jinsong is the only successor in the future. How could the old farmer allow him to marry the daughter of a rotten gambler? When the old man learned the truth, he was almost mad with this son.
In order to stop the relationship between the two, the old man first cut off Nong Jinsong's financial resources, and then kicked him out of the farmer's house. He even came up with various ways to make it difficult for the two of them. However, the more the old man farmer did not expect to be suppressed, the better the relationship between Nong Jinsong and Xiaowan became. In the end, the old man Nong, who really had no choice, directly asked Nong Jinsong to be arrested and grounded at home, and he was not allowed to go out for half a step.
In the farmhouse's mansion, Nong Jinsong used hunger strike to fight his father with his life. According to the farmer's servant, he relied on drip delivery of nutrient solution to save his life. Also in Ruan's family, Xiaowan is also washing her face with tears all day long, and she is getting thinner.
Seeing this scene, Ruan Wenhao and his wife, who were really a little unbearable, made a bold decision. They want to help the lovers elope. But they didn't expect that it was this decision that not only harmed Nong Jinsong and lost his life, but also destroyed Xiaowan's family.
Hearing his mother say this, Ruan Xing on the other side of the phone gasped. I still have some memories of Xiao Wan Ruan Xing. It was when she was still young, and she remembered that she always liked to run to Xiaowan's room to play. She still remembers that she always likes to call Xiaowan and Auntie. In Ruan Xing's impression, it seems that there was indeed a time when I always saw the little aunt frowning.
"Actually, your father's plan at that time, although it was done in a bit of a hurry, should have been quite good. We still don't know exactly what went wrong. Ruan Xing's mother said.
At that time, in order to ensure that Nong Jinsong and Xiaowan successfully escaped, they were still prepared. Under the pretext of persuading Nong Jin Song, Nguyen Van Ho told him about their plan. To escape, the first thing they did was to get Nong Jinsong back to his body.
Because Nong Jinsong has been very close to Ruan Wenhao since returning to China. So when Ruan Wenhao visited his son, the old man did not suspect it. Especially when I saw that with the arrival of Ruan Wenhao again and again, his son also began to eat, and he was even more happy. He also pinned his hopes of persuading his son on Nguyen Van Ho.
Taking advantage of the time when Nong Kam Song was recovering, Nguyen Van Hao also helped them make fake identity documents.
While they were planning their escape route, an incident suddenly appeared and forced them to execute their plan in advance.
Nong Jinsong is going to get engaged, and the woman is still the eldest lady of the Hu family. The funny thing is that when the news of the farmer's young master's imminent engagement was spread all over the sky, as a person concerned, he didn't even know about it.
In order to let his son forget Xiaowan as soon as possible, the old man privately decided to agree to the Hu family's family business.
Fortunately, Nguyen Van Ho had already paid off the farmer's personal doctor in advance, and according to the plan, he would make Nong Jinsong fall ill and enter a state of suspended animation in advance. Then when he was taken to the hospital, they secretly picked him up and sent him to Nangang Wharf, and let him and Xiaowan leave by water.
Everything went smoothly as planned. But it unexpectedly appeared in his own home. Just as Ruan Wenhao was driving to take Xiaowan to the dock, they searched all over the house and couldn't find her at all. Ruan Xing's mother wondered if Xiao Wan couldn't wait, so she went to the dock alone in advance.
But in fact, when Ruan Wenhao drove to Nangang Wharf, he happened to see the scene of Nong Jinsong jumping into the river and committing suicide. At that time, the wharf was already full of people brought by the old farmer. They also launched the rescue as soon as possible. It's just that in the end they were a step too late.
"How's the little aunt?" Ruan Xing asked.
"We don't know." Ruan Xing's mother replied, "Your father has been investigating for a long time after the incident, but there have been no useful clues. ”
Later, Nguyen Dinh's mother told her that they had been suspecting that the whole thing might have something to do with Nguyen Van Hung. Because the night before leaving, when Nguyen Van Ho and his wife were discussing tomorrow's arrangements at the company, Nguyen Van Hung happened to be drunk and collapsed on the sofa in the next office. These are also things that they only learned after listening to the company's employees. Another reason is that when Nguyen Van Ho arrived at the dock that day, he seemed to see his eldest brother in the crowd. But because the distance was too far and the situation was chaotic at the time, I wasn't very sure.
Since Nong Jinsong died, Old Man Nong is like a different person. He believes that Nguyen Van Hou is very responsible for the death of his son. Therefore, the hatred between the two families can be regarded as knotted. It's just that because of the power of the Ruan family, he hasn't dared to really do anything. But Xiaowan's family was not so lucky. First, her brother was in a car accident, and then she found out that her father had been thrown on the street and frozen to death because he had lost money in gambling.
"Do you think their deaths are likely to be related to Grandpa Nong?" Ruan Xing asked.
"I don't know if it matters. But I know from your father that Xiaowan's father has long quit gambling and has been working hard. ”
Where Xiao Wan ended up going, Ruan Xing's mother was not very sure. But she knew that Xiaowan was pregnant before she disappeared. Thinking of the later peasant orphan, Ruan Xing's mother suspected that he was Xiaowan's child. It's just that things have happened for so many years, and they have never found any news about Xiaowan.
While Ruan Xing and his mother were discussing their grievances with the farmer, the gunner finally came to Huang Yan's side.
