Among ordinary people, the Zhou family can be regarded as a wealthy family. The old residents of Yangming Lane in the center of the city have large courtyards and small yards at home, large and small, scattered with eight or nine yards, although they seem to be a little crowded, but they are much more surplus than other people.

Shen's mother Zhou Mingxia, as the only woman in the Zhou family's generation, originally had a set of her own yard, and later after getting married, this yard was given to several girls of the next generation in the family by Mrs. Zhou's Jia family.

Zhou Mingxia came back this time and could only stay in the guest room specially prepared by the Zhou family, the Guanhe Residence in the west.

To walk from the gate to the Guanhe Residence, you need to pass through the study of Uncle Zhou Zhou Yongshou and the courtyard of the old lady Jia.

Shen Xingluo was reluctant to pass in front of Jia's door, so he turned around and walked east along the path under his feet, taking the back of his uncle's courtyard on Tuesday, avoiding Jia's courtyard in a circle, and going to Guanheju.

It's not that she doesn't like Jia's, as an elder, Jia's heart for his children's younger generations is absolutely speechless.

But Shen Xingluo is not dressed up in disguise now, he is a man who runs errands outside.

Jia's rules are strict, and foreign men are never allowed to appear in the backyard.

The garden of the Zhou family is passed down from generation to generation by more than ten generations of the Zhou family. The flowers and trees inside have been carefully cared for for more than ten generations, and the branches are luxuriant and the shade is thick.

Shen Xingluo leisurely walked from the shade of the tree to the Lotus Viewing Residence, without alarming anyone along the way.

As soon as he stepped into the Guanhe Residence, Shen Xingluo noticed that someone was inside, so he stood outside and waited.

There is a small pond in the lotus house, but there are no lotus flowers in it, but there are a few skinny wild ducks, which is really worthy of its name.

Shen Xinglu sat on the railing of the bridge, boredly pulling a long leaf of a spring flower.

She didn't want to listen to the conversation of the people in the room, but she was deaf and clear, and the voice drilled into it one by one.

"When the old man was sent back by the beater, he only breathed half a breath, and died without saying anything, and we were all present at the time. Mother is now adamant, and his father's last words will give half of the family property to the third uncle. Mingxia, it's not my careful eye as a sister-in-law, I have the ability to be in charge, and I can't look down on this thing. But when my mother said this, it was really chilling. ”

The person who spoke was Uncle Zhou's wife, Peng, who wiped his red eyes and said: "I have called the Zhou family, not to mention being a cow and a horse, there is no merit and hard work, but in the end, I have no point, and I have to be treated as a fool, I am really panicked in my heart." ”

Zhou Mingxia motioned to Meng Shi, who was standing beside her, and changed a clean veil for Peng.

"Mother is really excessive, second sister-in-law, our family doesn't talk about two families, I can't interfere in this matter, what does my sister-in-law say?" Zhou Mingxia is a married girl after all, and she doesn't care too much about the distribution of the Zhou family's property.

Peng snorted and said, "What else can she say, when her father left suddenly, the eldest brother took over as the head of the house." Who doesn't know that at that time, my father's favorite was your second brother and wanted your second brother to be in charge. In the past few years, it has been an open and dark defense for us, I don't know how many yin tricks have been used, if it weren't for my mother's still existence, your second brother and I would have moved out a long time ago. Now, she is clamoring to find evidence to prove that this father is an impostor, and he is in a hurry to get people out, for fear that the old man will come back and help us get the position of head of the house, and now how can we care about this. ”

"I didn't say it. Zhou Mingxia frowned and said, "Father, we were buried with our own eyes, how did we come back to life?

"This ......" As soon as this question was mentioned, Peng's family was also a little hesitant, "My aunt doesn't know, things are not like the outside world rumored, my father didn't come back to life, he came to be a person who has no blood relationship with our family at all." ”

"Wait, second sister-in-law, what's going on? I'm coming back, it's not clear, you tell me what you know. Zhou Mingxia was taken aback.

Shen Xingluo, who was sitting outside, snickered in his heart, isn't the eldest uncle and the second uncle stupid, and can the father also recognize him?

"This matter has to start from half a month ago. Peng said.

Half a month ago, Zhou Yongshou made an appointment with his friends to discuss business outside, and after drinking, he said goodbye to his friends and went home drunk. When I was walking on the road, I saw a familiar face in a trance.

At first, he was a little confused, but in an instant he was agitated and woke up more than half of the wine.

That person is so familiar, isn't it his father, who died ten years ago? Back then, but he personally handled his father's funeral, how could his father appear here again, and his face was smooth, and he looked more than ten years younger than when he left.

Zhou Yongshou felt strange in his heart, so he found an excuse to come forward and talk.

Unexpectedly, before he could speak, the other party spoke, his tone was vicissitudes, and his voice was excited: "Hundred years old, come back to see you for my father." ”

This sentence was undoubtedly a thunderbolt on Zhou Yongshou's head, and he was gorgeously stupid on the spot.

Fortunately, he is not a fledgling hairy boy, and after being shocked, he felt very ridiculous: "My father has been dead for many years, who are you who dare to say it?"

"I'm not a liar. Zhou Yunming was even more excited, "I am really your father Zhou Yunming, your left thumb is missing, you went to the kitchen to steal white fungus soup when you were a child, accidentally touched the kitchen knife, and was cut off." ”

Zhou Yongshou was shocked, his left thumb was indeed missing a section, and it was not difficult to find that many monks could use their divine sense to check the physical condition of others. But it's not easy to know the cause of the matter so clearly.

Because of the disgrace of stealing the soup, Jia gave a gag order to his family. And it was all many years ago, he is in his forties, who will take out the truth about the children back then and turn over the old accounts.
