"You think this is very unbelievable?" Let alone Xia Xiaomo, even Yebeichen felt that the first time he heard this set of family rules, he couldn't understand it. However, his mother had explained to him at that time, "Do you know why the commoners often disliked each other, and why the emperor's family often did things like brothers killing each other, father and son killing each other?"
"Property, the Ancestor!" Xia Xiaomo replied. Wasn't most people in the world for fame and benefits? Without money, it would be hard to move an inch!
"Yeah, that's why the Gong Family eliminated the root cause that would lead to internal strife among brothers." This was the wisdom and painstaking work of the Gong Family's ancestors. Since there were no conflicts of interest between siblings, they could naturally get along harmoniously.
"That's still a pity. How could the mountains of the past be given to someone else with bare hands? Are there no grievances with people of Gong Family? " In any case, when she thought of giving away the real money that she had painstakingly earned, Xia Xiaomo felt her heart ache.
"It does seem a bit unfortunate, but you must have heard the saying that teaching people to fish is better than teaching people to fish, right?" Yebeichen explained, "The Gong Family has always attached great importance to the education of their children. In order to nurture their children into talented individuals with complete and outstanding personality, all the elders of the Gong Family have attached great importance to education far more than earning money, no matter the cost. Therefore, when the children of Gong Family reach adulthood, they will already be able to fight on their own. "
Xia Xiaomo acknowledged, then still shook her head, "I don't understand."
It was true that educating children was the most important thing, but what did it have to do with inheritance? She still couldn't figure it out.
Yebeichen continued: "There is also another family rule: When children get married, they must break away from their original families, which is to say, the branch families. But no matter if he was getting married or getting married, his elders would always give him a generous sum of assets as the principal to build a family for his children. "Because they have no inheritance, their children will use this money to build their own mountains and rivers."
That year, it was with this asset that Yebeichen's mother helped Ye Aotian create his Shen Ye Group, and through her ability and talent, he helped create half of a mountain. It could be said that without Yebeichen's mother, their Shen Ye Group would only be a third-rate small business!
This time, Xia Xiaomo finally understood, "Understood, Gong Family's elders are transforming the inheritance into assets and giving it away right? This way, the children would not have to fight over the inheritance, but they would also be able to use the money in the best years to work hard and create a new world for themselves. It's really an expert move! "
Yebeichen replied, "More or less."
The elders of Gong Family would divide about seventy to eighty percent of his assets into portions and give them to each child without discrimination. In the end, he had given up his fortune as a reward for his society. It was not in vain that he had come to live in this world.
Xia Xiaomo started to ponder, and then talked about it alone, "This is a good idea, we can also use it in the future. But when you die, leave the rest of your fortune to me, or what will I eat? No, no, I'll die before you do. "I can't stand a day without you …"
Ow ow ow, suddenly she realized that Yebeichen was staring at her seriously. Xia Xiaomo immediately shut her mouth, as if she had said something strange!
"I heard the last sentence." Yebeichen snickered beside Little Mo's ear.
"Hate …" Xia Xiaomo's small face flushed red again.
"Aiya, Little Mo, did you get too hot? Your face is so red." his aunt asked with concern.
"Hehehe …" Didn't she get hot? She was holding Yebeichen, this big furnace, and from time to time, her heart would burn.
"Don't be nervous, the old gramps is the easiest person to get along with. To tell you the truth, I'm also from a small family, and the old man doesn't mind it. As long as he's nice, he'll like it. " Third Aunt said with a smile. Furthermore, because Gong Family raise their own children well enough, elders never ask their children to make a meritorious marriage, and always give them full trust and support, as long as the children feel happy.
"Little Mo is different from us, she is the daughter-in-law chosen by Ah Yu (Mother Yebeichen) when she was still alive, she is the treasured daughter of the old man." Second Aunt also smiled as she answered.
After walking through quite a few corridors, Xia Xiaomo finally saw the old man from Gong Family in the garden. In her imagination, Old Master Gong should be an imposing elderly man who was even more serious and terrifying than Ye Aotian! But can you imagine a highly respected, gray-haired Old Man quarrelling with his parrot in the garden?
"My grandson and his wife are coming to see me."
"He didn't come! "He didn't come!" This parrot really knew how to make the old man angry.
"They are coming! They'll be here soon! " The old man was really angry, like an old urchin.
"Not yet, not yet!"
"You dead bird, see if I don't cook you or not!"
"I am a live bird! I am a good bird! "You can't eat me!"
Alright, Xia Xiaomo's laughing point was originally low. Hearing that the bird and the human were arguing merrily here, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. If Yebeichen had not stopped him, he would have laughed until his stomach hurt. Sigh, but Old Master Gong isn't angry at all, he still continued to wave at Little Mo, "Is it my Little Mo? Hurry, hurry, let Grandfather have a good look. "
Yebeichen anxiously brought Xia Xiaomo over, and the parrot could no longer stay idle: "My wife, you're so beautiful! What the hell! "
Xia Xiaomo almost burst into laughter again. After a long while, she finally managed to hold back and imitated Yebeichen by bowing respectfully to the old man. "Greetings, Grandfather!"
Old Master Gong was reluctant, "Why bow? "Hurry and get up." Then he took a lot of chocolates and sweets and stuffed them into Little Mo's hands. "Good boy, eat some sugar."
Xia Xiaomo was startled, was she that famous? The foodie's reputation had even spread to the Old Master Gong? She quickly said, "Thank you, Grandfather. Let's eat together, shall we? "
Old Master Gong waved his hand, "Good child, I have no teeth anymore. Eat, eat.
Xia Xiaomo nodded and ate a piece of chocolate in front of the Old Master Gong. F * * k, what brand? Why is it so delicious? She still wanted it!
Uh, Yebeichen silently supported his forehead, it was his fault that his wife was not well groomed! However, the old man was very happy to see her eating so happily. A few elders of Gong Family watched on from the side and were extremely happy as well. They said that it had been a long time since the old man had been so happy since Gong Yu passed away.
"Little Mo, eat more. Grandfather still has a lot to eat, as much as he wants. " Old Master Gong looked at Xia Xiaomo lovingly.
"Yes." Xia Xiaomo nodded, her pursuit of delicious food was definitely loyal! Yebeichen could not tolerate it anymore and was unwilling to give any more to Little Mo to eat. This little thing had already eaten three pieces. Even the parrot despised Little Mo. "Eat a lot and become fat!"
"What are you talking about, you dead bird? My family's Little Mo is really good to watch! " Old Master Gong focused on Xia Xiaomo and comforted her, "You can't get fat with just a few pieces of chocolate, don't listen to that stupid bird's nonsense."
The parrot said, "I'm a good bird, not a fool!"
Xia Xiaomo was about to burst out laughing again, this parrot was igniting her laughing point today. Yebeichen was afraid that her wife would choke, hence she could only beg for the parrot to leave. The parrot was so scared that it thought it was going to cook it and eat it. It kept on flying and shouting, "I am a good bird, don't eat me! Eating it makes me stupid, but it also makes me fat! "
Xia Xiaomo was about to laugh until she was crazy, and tears were flowing out of her eyes. Yebeichen decided that in the future, she would never raise parrots at home, and she would make sure that her wife would be ten meters away from this "Divine Bird".
"Little Mo, are you full yet?" Old Master Gong laughed and asked.
"I finished eating." Xia Xiaomo was helpless, all the delicious food had been confiscated by Yebeichen, he did not want her to eat more.
"Then go and see Ah Yu, your mother-in-law wants to see you too." Old Master Gong's eyes filled with tears whenever he mentioned his daughter.
That was his only daughter, the one the two of them cherished so much in their hands. In the end, she had only been married to Ye Aotian for a few years, and then she had died of an unknown illness at such a young age. This muddleheaded brat had almost taken the old man's life! Back then, he did not hesitate to break with Ye Aotian and finally took back half of Gong Yu's ashes.
"Oh, okay, I miss her too." Xia Xiaomo really liked the Aunt Ye, then she would have soft memories like her mother.
Inside the Gong Family house, there was a small spirit hall specially set up for Gong Yu. Old Master Gong would come over to see her daughter almost every day and talk to her. At that time, he clearly knew that Ye Aotian's character was impure, so why didn't he resolutely stop his daughter from marrying him? Otherwise, how could her daughter have perished so early? It had also caused his grandson to lose his mother long ago, and he had to struggle to survive under his stepmother's hand!
Yebeichen led Xiao Mo and kowtowed to Aunt Ye, his voice choked with emotions, "Mom, I finally married your daughter-in-law back."
Little Mo also quickly said, "Aunt Ye, from now on I can call you mother. I thank you for bringing me such a good Bei Chen. Don't worry, in the future, I will definitely take good care of him and raise his strength. "
Yebeichen was very unsatisfied, "Is that all? It's gone? " He even intentionally glanced at Little Foam's stomach. Wasn't this hint obvious enough? In the end, he said, "Oh, I'm full every day. I've never been hungry before. Mom, don't worry."
Yebeichen, "..."
He wasn't hungry, but he was hungry in his head from time to time.
Old Master Gong quickly reminded them: "When are you and Xiao Chen having a baby? Grandfather still wishes to cherish his grandson for the rest of his life! "
Oh, Xia Xiaomo suddenly realised, so you were talking about this? She quickly said, "Mom, in the future, we will have many cute and healthy babies to come visit you. Rest assured while in heaven, Beichen and I will live a good life, we will be very happy. "Also, my parents are also there. You can all gather at a table and play Landlord …"
Yebeichen was quickly stopped by his stupid wife. She even came out to play Landlord, she really couldn't continue talking about it!
Old Master Gong sighed: "Ah Yu, you finally saw the day of your son's wedding. "This is your designated daughter-in-law. Your father has completed the task …"
As the old man spoke, he couldn't help but tear up, quickly turning his face to wipe his tears away. Seeing this, Little Mo couldn't help but to comfort him, "Grandfather, today is a happy day, let's not cry."
The old man said, "Yes, yes, don't cry. "Oh, Little Mo, I have something else to give you. This is the wish of Ah Yu, you must accept it!"
