Third Brother thought about it. The four children in the family were all the biological children of the old master, but why did they have to be so biased towards the second girl at this time? He began to try hard to recall. He remembered that the last time the old man came back from Shanghai for the new year, he first landed at the second girl's house. Everyone knew about this. When he returned to Shanghai after the Chinese New Year, the old man had proposed to make a will in advance. In the end, the will was like this.
It must be Second Girl's doing! This vicious woman usually looked gentle and spoke with reason and evidence. He did not expect her to be so sanctimonious. She was more scheming than the heavens. It was not impossible for her to incite others to put all the old man's money into her pocket. This b * tch is really too vicious and black-hearted. Your child needs to eat, but does my child not know how to eat? Why are you treating us like this? All these years, his eldest brother had been doing business with the old master. Naturally, he would earn money. Old Fourth heard that his grandfather was planning to send him to Peking University. In the future, he would rely on his skills to survive. He would not starve to death no matter where he went. "Only my third brother is the most pitiful. He doesn't have any skills or craftsmanship. Logically speaking, he should sympathize with me the most. Why is everyone bullying me? No one is on my side. He was really lucky.
The more No. 3 thought about it, the angrier he became. It was as if he felt that if he did not be ruthless now, he might very well lead his wife and children to beg on the streets in the future. He suddenly raised his head and said fiercely,"This must be Second Girl's doing." Now that big brother isn't helping me, fourth brother has his own plans. If he wants revenge, he'll find second daughter."
"Then how do you plan to deal with Er Nizi?"”
"Damn it, if you don't let my child live, I won't let your child live either!”Third Brother said.
"You want to kidnap me?" The burly man asked.
"Kidnapped? Hmph, I won't kidnap you. The eldest and fourth brothers don't support me, and his two girls are not capable enough to help me. It seems that the will can't be changed. Kidnapping is useless. If the matter is exposed, the old man will even take back the only shop he gave me. When the time comes, I will really have to beg on the streets.”
"Since the will can't be changed, does that mean you've accepted your fate?”Skinny Monkey said.
"Bah! What I like the most about myself is that I can torment myself and not accept my fate!”Third Brother said fiercely.
" Then what do you do?" Slanted Eyebrows asked.
"You can't be rich for more than three generations. Even if you have mountains of gold and silver today, you won't be able to resist the descendants of a prodigal family.”After Third Brother finished speaking, his two malicious eyes glanced at the brothers in front of him one by one. He stretched out a hand and made a gesture to lean closer to him, whispering to the three of them.
Xia Manor. In the Eldest Young Master's room.
The door creaked open and Xiang 'er entered.
" Young Master, you were looking for me?" Xiang 'er was respectful.
"Xiang 'er, there are a few things I want to ask you. When did the young miss come back and how did she come back?"
"Oh, she came back two days ago. She didn't say anything in advance, so her family didn't know. When Ah Fu found her, she fainted at the gate. Maybe I was too tired on the road."
" Did anything unusual happen after she came back?"
"Uh……if there's nothing unusual, then there's something wrong. If there was anything unusual, it was nothing too big.”
"What?" The Eldest Young Master's eyes lit up. He felt that his previous guess might have made sense. "What's wrong with her?"
"Eldest Young Master, I'm not sure either. It was normal for a person who had been unconscious for a few days to talk nonsense. Xiang 'er doesn't dare to say anything."
"I don't blame you for saying the wrong thing. Tell me."
"Uh…after Eldest Miss woke up, she didn't recognize anyone. She didn't even recognize Eldest Madam and me.”
" You came to our Xia residence when you were 13 years old. You served her for a few years before she went abroad. How could you not recognize her?" The Eldest Young Master questioned.
" Xiang 'er doesn't know either." Xiang' er lowered her head even more. She didn't know if she had said too much.
"Is there anything else?"
"I don't think so." Xiang 'er shook her head.
"Oh, alright. Go do your work. You can't tell anyone about our conversation today.”
"By the way, Eldest Young Master, Miss also brought back some strange things from England that no one has seen before.”Xiang 'er seemed to remember something.
"Strange things?" The Eldest Young Master's eyes lit up again. The Eldest Young Master sat down and repeatedly pondered over Xiang 'er's every word, afraid that he would miss any clues. He was even more certain that there was something fishy about Xia Menglin's background, but he could not find any evidence. Moreover, if it was fake, why did this person look so similar to his sister? Then where was his sister? He racked his brains thinking about all sorts of questions, but he couldn't think of anything. How should he investigate this matter? I can't call the police. What if I'm the one who's overthinking things and the police can't find anything? In the end, my family will be embarrassed by me. I should investigate this matter secretly and find evidence that can convince me. Oh right, didn't she bring some strange things with her? Those things might lead me to the answer I want.
"Xiang 'er, you may leave."
"Yes, sir."
In a few months, it would be the new year. Grandpa would return to his hometown from Shanghai for the New Year and bring his family to burn incense to their ancestors 'graves. The whole family was involved in the burning of incense, leaving only a few unimportant servant girls to cook and clean. That would be my best chance. Xia Qingfeng smiled at the thought.
After leaving the restaurant, Third Brother bid farewell to his brothers. He hummed a little tune along the way and walked home in a happy mood. He seemed very satisfied with his "revenge" plan. She hated the second girl to the core. Ever since the old master returned to Shanghai to make his will after the New Year last year, she had been unhappy. He had been running around for nearly a year to find his eldest brother and fourth brother to accompany him as a lobbyist. His legs were almost broken, but no one paid attention to him. Every time he thought of this, he felt very sullen. Big Brother had a shop and could earn money, but why didn't Fourth Brother listen to him? Every time he thought of asking Fourth Brother about this, Fourth Brother's answer was always one sentence: "How much I give to whom is my business. As a father, even if I throw money on the streets to beggars and not give it to me, I can't do anything about it. I'll be filial to him. In the future, I'll have something to eat. I can't let our father starve.”This really puzzled Third Brother. He felt that Fourth Brother was being foolish and incompetent! "I'm so busy today for my son! A son depended on his father. If a father didn't fight for his son, who would consider his son's interests?”At the thought of this, Third Brother felt that even if he wanted to take revenge on his biological sister, it was because she was heartless and unjust first. There was nothing to feel guilty about.
Two months later…
There was less than half a month left before the new year. Every household was busy preparing for the new year. The school was also on holiday. A few children were setting off firecrackers on the streets. Every new year was the most troublesome for adults because there was nothing but busy new year. However, children were different. They looked forward to the new year the most. They had fun in school during the holidays. Their grandparents gave them red pocket money and wore new clothes. They would eat, drink, and play every day when they opened their eyes. It was simply too blissful. Any child would look forward to the new year.
Looking at the children playing on the streets during the Lunar New Year, one could tell that the children of the poor and the children of the rich were divided into two groups. The children of the poor played hide-and-seek in the mud. Some of them were not qualified to play, so they helped out at home, while the children of the rich set off firecrackers from morning till night and went to various places where they could spend money. Sometimes, after buying what needed to be bought and eating what needed to be eaten, there was also a kind of curiosity that was not satisfied and wanted to play with things that had never been played before.
Third Brother had been hiding in an alley early in the morning. He was waiting. After waiting for the whole morning, he did not see the person he wanted to see. He was a little impatient. However, he still looked around and waited. He had to wait for his 'prey'.
The door of a house opened. Judging from the door, this family could be considered rich. As soon as the door opened, Old San's rat eyes lit up. He saw a shop assistant bringing a boy about 10 years old out. It seemed that they were going to buy something.
The moment the " prey " appeared, Third Brother did not rush over. Instead, he followed behind carefully. When they arrived at the bustling market, the boy suddenly told the waiter beside him that he wanted to eat rice cakes. The waiter looked troubled and turned around to look at the crowded street. He said," Little Master, we've walked far away from the place that sells rice cakes. There are so many people. I'm afraid it will hurt you if we go back. Why don't we come back tomorrow to buy some?"”
" No, I don't want it. I want to eat rice cakes." The little boy started to be naughty.
The shop assistant continued to look at the bustling crowd and was still a little troubled. Just as they were weighing the pros and cons, No. 3 seemed to have descended from the sky and stood directly in front of them.
" My dear nephew, what do you want? Third Uncle will bring you to buy it," Third Brother said with a smile as he pulled the child's hand.
When the little boy saw that it was his third uncle, he naturally became more cordial and shouted,"Third uncle, third uncle, I want to eat rice cakes."
When the waiter saw that it was his third uncle, he greeted him respectfully. Seeing that Third Uncle was about to take Little Young Master away, she was a little anxious and tried to stop him. She said," Third Uncle, Second Mistress asked me to take good care of Little Young Master. Don't lose him."
"Brat, what do you mean? This is my nephew. I can't wait to kiss him. Why would I lose him?”Third Uncle glared at him.
" No, I didn't mean that." The waiter wanted to explain.
" Third Uncle, I want to eat rice cakes, I want to eat rice cakes!" The little man shouted even louder.
" Go away, go away." Third Uncle pushed the waiter to the side and pulled the boy's hand, walking towards the crowd.
"Eh? "Third Uncle…Third Uncle…" The waiter was helpless, but he did not know what to do.
Third Uncle and his nephew had walked far away from the shop assistant. He turned around and looked at the shop assistant with relief. Then, he bent down and said to the boy," Third Uncle will buy you rice cakes and then take you to a fun place, okay?”
" Sure, sure." The boy was completely unprepared.
