C13 Fighting for Filial Piety
Hsiang Kang felt the same way when he reached out his hand to throw his wife away. If I could have dealt with everything in front of me, I wouldn't have ended up like this. In fact, I must have done something wrong. Otherwise, dad wouldn't have treated me like this!
Thinking about what Hsiang Zhoujia had said about taking care of his father, he felt that he couldn't just say that he was good to his father. He had to do something to make his father feel their efforts.
In other words, if he could have more hope in this kind of life, it was not impossible.
"I think it's time for us to take care of Father, my dear, and I think what he said today makes a lot of sense. Besides, don't you think that if we miss him, he might get ahead of us?"
"Then why are you still standing there?"
When Li Zi heard that there was still hope for him to get the money, he immediately became spirited, "Since you have decided, then don't let yourself fall into a state of confusion all the time. We must take out the best things to take care of this old man and make him happy!"
After Hsiang Kang received Li Zi's instructions, he immediately went to prepare even better things. He knew that what his father needed now was only care.
"Oh right, there's a girl beside Dad. I think Dad is going to treat this girl like his daughter!"
When Li Zi heard Hsiang Kang say this, he reminded him that Hsiang Zheng had been widowed for so many years, so it was better to find him a wife.
"Are you crazy?"
Hsiang Kang couldn't help but glance at his wife. "What do you think you're thinking? How could those people suddenly enter my father's eyes? Besides, do you think that this person won't want a penny after Dad dies? I have three sons, and now you want to give him another woman?"
Though Plum had hoped for one more man to help them, it was not necessary to think of it now, for everyone knew that if they could not get rid of the shame in their hearts, there would be a second rival in the future.
"What do you think we should do now?"
Li Zi was also confused. He couldn't think of anything to do, so he looked up at his husband, "Do we have to go empty-handed?"
"It's not possible to go empty-handed. I think we should just pick some cigarettes that father likes to smoke and send them over. After all, when an old man is bored, all he does is smoke!"
"Are you crazy?"
Plum reached out and pinched his arm, reminding Hsiang Kang that the old man was suffering from the problem of smoking. If he was given another cigarette, wouldn't something happen again?
Hsiang Kang stomped his feet in frustration and scratched his head. "This won't do, that won't do. What are you trying to do?"
After a cunning turn of the eyes, Plum decided that it would be best to send fruit, for it was the most polite thing to do at the moment, whether it was simply to visit him or otherwise, and nothing else was likely to make much sense.
In fact, most of the time, as long as a man was determined enough, everything could be changed.
Who knew that when they set off, someone would be faster than them? Hsiang Zhoujia had already arrived there and had been guarding the door, refusing to leave.
Plum and her husband looked at each other, and decided that such a thing could not go on forever, for the eldest son, if he was approved, would probably get a very large share of the estate.
"Big brother, doesn't dad not want to see you anymore? Why are you still here? Aren't you afraid that dad's health will be even worse?"
His brother's words made Hsiang Zhoujia feel that it was very funny, "Aren't you also hated by Dad? Why did you come here too? Isn't it all because of the wealth in the hands of your father, Niannian?"
"Shut up!"
Hsiang Kang clenched his fists tightly. He was especially angry at his brother for being so direct and humiliating. "Don't keep making a fuss all day long. I want you to know that not everything in this world is decided by you!"
"Are you done?"
Yingying, who was watering the plants on the farm, touched her forehead after hearing so much noise. "Do you know how easily you upset people by doing this? What do you think is the point of speaking so fiercely? Your father is still sick, yet you bunch of people can't wait to take the money away. Do you really have no shame? "
It was her again!
Hsiang Kang stared at Yingying for a while. He really wanted to go up and attack her, but he didn't dare because he knew that this woman's martial arts was not bad. If he acted rashly, it was very likely that this woman would hit him again. At that time, the gains wouldn't make up for the losses.
"Yingying, are they here again?"
Hsiang Zheng trembled as he walked forward with his walking stick. When he saw that Hsiang Kang had brought his wife with him this time, he became even more furious. "You brat, do you think everything will be fine if you bring your wife with you?"
"I don't mean that, Father. I think you need someone to look after you."
"I don't need you to pretend to be nice to me!"
Hsiang Zheng tapped his walking stick angrily on the ground and said again, "I repeat, no matter what you do now, the change in property will not change!"
"They're your sons. Are you going to give money to a young woman? Aren't you afraid of other people..."
Yingying didn't care who this woman was. She just slapped her because she didn't think she should show any mercy to anyone who wanted to hurt her.
"You, you dare to hit me?"
She covered her face with her hands and tried to get her husband to help her, but he didn't move an inch and just stared at Yingying, which annoyed her. "Are you a man or not? Can't you say something for your woman?"
"I am your man, but you insulted others for no reason. Is that reasonable?"
Hsiang Kang blinked at his wife, hoping that she would understand what he looked like and have different thoughts.
Yingying, who was on the side, had already seen through these people completely. Anyway, before they made up their minds about those things, they all wanted to greedily make an effort, and then other things would naturally be much more logical.
However, since he had promised Uncle Hsiang that he would help him solve the problem, he would not let these greedy people do anything terrible to him.
"Uncle Hsiang, if you are tired, go back and rest. I am enough here!"
"No! These fellows won't give up until they hear my answer, and while they're all here, I'll have my lawyer make the will public, so that they won't have anything to do with it in the future!"
"Will? Dad, aren't you being too hasty? You are still young, why are you thinking about the will?"
The words of his two sons made his father feel helpless, "No matter what you say, I have already decided!"
Yingying already knew about the will, but she thought it would change at the last moment. Who would have thought that these heartless people would be so eager to win the old man's favor?
"Dad, you can't do this!"
Before the old man could finish his sentence, Hsiang Gang, the last to arrive, said angrily, "How could you leave everything to the little girl and not to us?"
"What did you say?"
The others were furious at his words, "What do you mean by not giving it to us?"
Hsiang Zheng knew his second son had already guessed this when he saw how excited he was. So he let the lawyer announce in public that all the inheritance belonged to Su Yingying and that no one else was allowed to take a single cent. In addition, if Su Yingying wanted to take back the house that was originally given to her three sons, she could also be taken back.
"I don't agree!"
Li Zi was particularly irritable, "You transferred the house to us a long time ago. How can you go back on your word?"
Thinking that he would lose the house, Li Zi's tears kept falling, "Your grandson is still so young. Are you so cruel as to leave him with no place to live? If you are so cruel, why did you say that you like this child the most? "
At first, Hsiang Zheng didn't think much of it. However, as he listened carefully to Li Zi's words, he felt a trace of sadness in his heart. After all, she was his grandson.
It was just that he was getting old, and the pain of being abandoned by these bastards was something he could never get over.
"Of course, you have to take care of your own children. I am old. None of you can imagine my existence. What right do you have to say such words now? To be honest, I am tired of such days."
All fell silent at his words, for he was telling the truth, and they would not have lost everything if they, as sons and daughters-in-law, had not first disrespected the old man, and had not been so anxious to get on with their lives.
Su Yingying was indeed an outsider, but it was also because of her that the old man was able to live so well these days. If no one could talk and laugh with him, he was afraid that this old man would not have been able to live until now.
In his life, there were always people who couldn't figure out some things and thought that it was others who had lost money to him. However, if that was the case, what did others get?
"Uncle, you should go back now!"
Looking at Hsiang Zheng's uncomfortable expression, he frowned slightly. "Do you want me to send you to the hospital?"
"No need!"
Hsiang Zheng smiled at Yingying. "I already know how annoying I am! Now, since these guys want me dead, what's the point of me living like this? Child, from the day I met you, I knew you were a good child. Although you don't talk about your past, you are injured."
Yingying was slightly taken aback. She felt that the old man was really very powerful. You found out about my problem from the very beginning. I thought you didn't know the pain in my heart.
But even though she knew, Yingying didn't feel ashamed at all. Because she didn't think there was anything wrong with what she had done during this period of time. She felt that she had done her best for every plant and plant here.
