NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 19 Are you forgetting your roots?
As they talked, they had already reached the door.
Su Yun asked, "How old is your great grandfather?"
He Hengzhi smiled, "Eighty-six."
Su Yun asked again, "Who in S City might be inside right now?"
He Hengzhi then remembered and gave her a brief introduction, "Aunt Wang just said that my grandfather left last night."
"Now there is only the old man."
"In addition, my ninth uncle, the fifteenth uncle and his wife, and the twenty-first uncle and his wife."
Su Yun opened his mouth wide, "Your family has quite a lot of people."
The uncles are all 21.
Isn't this the posture of Kangxi's family?
There won't be any drama of nine dragons fighting for the throne in the He family, right?
He Hengzhi said, "My grandfather's generation had four brothers and three sisters."
"My father's generation had 22 brothers and 11 sisters."
"As for our generation." He Hengzhi paused, then said, "Currently, there are 36 brothers."
Su Yun: ...
He Hengzhi said, "Those uncles are my grandfather's families, one for each family."
Su Yun looked at He Hengzhi again, so it was fair for each family in the four rooms to show their presence in front of the old master.
He Hengzhi, "There are quite a lot of He family members, I'll ask Assistant Qi to send you a copy of their information."
"You don't have to know them all. As long as they know you, that's enough."
Su Yun looked at He Hengzhi with a complicated expression.
So arrogant?
He Hengzhi raised his chin slightly, "My grandfather is the eldest son of the legitimate family."
He Hengzhi briefly talked about the current situation of the He family. The old man of the He family went to Hong Kong after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. He had four sons and three daughters.
There was only one legitimate son, who was He Hengzhi's grandfather.
The He family had already completely divided the family early on.
Of all the properties, the legitimate eldest house got 70%, and the remaining houses got 10%, which they could manage as they pleased.
The remaining 20% was still in the hands of the old man He, managed by the eldest house, and counted as a public account.
Grandpa He had two sons, but one died in his early years. Only Dad He was left.
And. Dad He only had He Hengzhi.
Therefore, if the rest of the He family wanted to live a good life, they could only rely on the eldest house to arrange.
Otherwise. According to the properties in their hands, at most they would be an ordinary wealthy family, and they could not be arrogant.
Su Yun felt that she was shallow. What imperial concubine? She was clearly the imperial princess.
This must be able to walk sideways.
He Hengzhi told Su Yun, "So, when the He family comes to me, it's only right for them to greet you."
"Even my uncles, aunts, and aunts have no right to give you a cold shoulder."
"Don't let them and their wives bully you."
Su Yun thought of a sentence.
I am the boss among men, and you are the boss among women.
Although he didn't say so, this is the way it works.
To be honest, although the two of them just agreed to get married.
But hearing this still made Su Yun feel comfortable.
When they reached the door, He Hengzhi hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and held Su Yun's arm, "Sorry."
Su Yun paused and took his arm.
He Hengzhi was only stiff for a moment, and then let her come over, and the two walked in together.
Originally, everyone was still discussing various things, and when a servant said, "Seventh Young Master is here."
"Seventh Young Master's Wife is here."
It was quiet for a moment.
Before Su Yun walked in, she could already feel the various eyes looking at her.
Su Yun felt that she, who earned 150,000 yuan a day, absolutely could not embarrass He Hengzhi, so she raised her chin slightly and was not at all nervous.
Aunt He Jiu and the other two sisters-in-law looked at each other. This Seventh Young Lady was not what they thought.
Although it was unknown who in Room 22 did it.
But everyone knew that Su Ruo's noise had completely annoyed He Hengzhi.
He Hengzhi had given up and refused to get married not long ago. Everyone was almost crazy with joy. They were just waiting for He Hengzhi to have another accident and finally be unable to save him.
As a result. He Hengzhi was threatened by the eldest master of the He family and went to see Su Ruo again.
Some people had already planned how to laugh at the joke.
Yesterday, some people were waiting at the Peace Hotel, but who knew that Su Ruo was not seen at all.
It turned out to be Su Yun who came.
No one expected that He Hengzhi decided to get married after only meeting the other party once.
Ten minutes ago, news came that He Hengzhi gave Su Yun a share of the dividends from all his domestic industries.
This made the three people who were dressed up extraordinarily and wanted to give Su Yun a head start, all of them were very angry.
The three sisters-in-law, who originally had a bad relationship, looked at each other with extra favor at this moment.
Especially the fifteenth and twenty-first wives were the most aggrieved. They had been married into the He family for so many years, but they had not received a single share.
What right did Su Yun, a wild girl from the countryside, have?
The ninth wife was even more angry. She was married later. Her status was not as good as other women.
Without waiting for them to say hello, Old Master He was helped in.
Old Master He was in good spirits, with a ruddy complexion and shiny silver hair. He looked at Su Yun and couldn't help but smile and said, "Is this Hengzhi's wife?"
"She's pretty."
Su Yun smiled shyly, "Hello, great grandfather."
The small cushion was placed in front of the two.
Su Yun and He Hengzhi kowtowed to the old master together.
The old man took out a wooden box and handed it over, "If Hengzhi makes trouble in the future, makes you angry, and does something stupid, just come to me."
Su Yun was flattered, "Thank you, great grandfather."
Old Master He smiled, "As long as you two live well in the future."
He Hengzhi immediately asked, "Great grandfather, where is mine?"
Old Master He snorted, but still handed over a kraft paper envelope.
He Hengzhi opened it in front of the old man, and when he saw the contents inside, he laughed, "Thank you, grandpa."
Old Master He snorted, waved to the people behind him, and the servant next to him took out four more boxes.
Old Master He looked at Su Yun with a gentle smile, "Your father, mother, grandpa and grandma are in Hong Kong, so they can't drink your tea. You should accept these gifts first."
Su Yun thanked him again.
The eyes of Uncle Nine, Uncle Fifteen, and Uncle Twenty-one over there were almost glued to the things in their hands.
Especially the brown paper bag that the old man gave to He Hengzhi.
Although I don’t know what’s in it, just looking at He Hengzhi’s happy look, I know that the old man gave something extraordinary.
Aunt Jiu and the others were all looking at the wooden boxes behind Su Yun. The things that the old man gave were definitely not ordinary.
He Hengzhi had already brought Su Yun to them.
There are not many He family members in S City.
“This is Uncle Jiu and Aunt Jiu.”
Su Yun nodded politely, “Uncle Jiu, Aunt Jiu.”
This Uncle Jiu looks like he’s in his forties, but this Aunt Jiu is in her twenties at most.
It should be an old man and a young wife. A second wife.
Grandma He Jiu looked at Su Yun with the most sourness. She squeezed into the house after giving birth to a son, and the old man didn’t even give her a glance, let alone formally meeting her, so there was no need to talk about any meeting gifts.
Su Yun, a girl from the mainland, came from the mountains and valleys. She got the advantage by relying on the master's words and picking up the bargain out of thin air, and won the favor of the old man.
She wanted to see if the master's words would fall through, and when He Hengzhi got into trouble again, would the old man and his family be so good to Su Yun.
She politely handed over the gift, but deliberately said, "Hengzhi, your sister-in-law is so pretty."
Then she covered her mouth again, "Oh, I don't remember that she came from the countryside in the mainland and doesn't speak Cantonese."
Su Yun raised her eyebrows. Did she really think that she watched TVB dramas for nothing?
But she didn't say anything. She believed in her partners.
Sure enough, He Hengzhi's face fell, "Uncle Jiu, great grandfather said a long time ago that Mandarin is the root, and everyone in the family should learn and speak Mandarin at home."
"Why, great grandfather is still here, you have forgotten your roots?"
