Married in the 1980s16
When Zhao Xiuning and Cheng Cheng heard that Mr. Zhao was coming, they immediately walked out of the study and walked towards the garden. As soon as they arrived at the garden, they saw that Mr. Zhao had been staring at the two children back and forth, as if he was thinking and choosing something.
"Alas, old man, what are you doing? My two grandsons are not just for people to look at for nothing." Zhao Xiuning said angrily.
"I don't care for nothing, I'll give you money." Mr. Zhao looked at Zhao Xiuning and said.
"That's really embarrassing, even if you give me all your property, I don't want you to see it for nothing." After sitting down, Zhao Xiuning looked at Mr. Zhao and said, "I heard that you want to ask me for a grandson? You This is not waking up, sleepwalking here, right?"
"I hope that one of these two children can be named Zhao, and all the properties of the Zhao family will be inherited by these two children." Mr. Zhao said seriously.
"Don't!" Zhao Xiuning raised his hand and said, "I don't care about things, and neither will my two grandsons. Even if I give them the property of the ten Zhao families, I can't let any of them have the surname Zhao. "
"Anyway, they are all descendants of the Zhao family, and you are also a descendant of the Zhao family. If you don't let them have the surname Zhao, you will have no face to meet the Zhao family's ancestors in the future."
"Then I don't see you. I've already joined the Cheng family anyway. The people who live and die in the Cheng family are the ghosts of the Cheng family. The ones I'm going to see in the future are naturally the ancestors of the Cheng family." Zhao Xiuning looked puzzled. Asked, "Hey, old man, you must not be dementia, and suddenly lose your memory, right? The reason why I will not let my son and grandson be surnamed Zhao, you don't know? You forced me, you made me Forced myself to prefer not to be from the Zhao family, and I don’t want my children and grandchildren to belong to the Zhao family! Now that the second wife is going to die, and you think of my son and grandson again, it’s the blood of the Zhao family? Don’t you think it’s too late? ?!"
Faced with Zhao Xiuning's loud questioning, Mr. Zhao knew he was wrong and had nothing to say. But for the purpose of coming today, he has to achieve it no matter what, "I can compensate you in any way you want, as long as you promise me that one of the children will be named Zhao, or Cheng Sheng and Xiao Ling's second child will be named Zhao."
"No, yes, yes." Zhao Xiuning said categorically, "I just want to get revenge on you, that's why I can't let the children's surname be Zhao. I have waited for so many years, and now I finally got your retribution. You want me to give up revenge on you. You Don't have such a beautiful dream."
"I asked the second room to move out. If you want me to stay, I will stay. If you don't want me to stay, I will move out with them." Mr. Zhao continued to raise conditions by himself.
"No need." Zhao Xiuning turned to the old lady Zhao and said, "Mom, you should tell him about that matter now, so that he can give up as soon as possible."
"I have asked Xiu Ning to help me find a lawyer, and now the lawyer is preparing. He will help me sue for divorce after a while, and I will move out from here soon. It just happens to fulfill you and Zhang Shufen. Didn't she always Do you all want to be a regular wife? Now you can finally get your wish." Mrs. Zhao said very calmly.
"Do you hear clearly?" Zhao Xiuning looked at Mr. Zhao and asked.
The two children looked sleepy, Cheng Wei put Xiao Yu into Cheng Cheng's hand and said, "Take the children back to the room to rest."
Tao Yuan and Cheng Cheng carried the child back to the room, and there was no need for them to listen to the following content.
After returning to the room and putting the child to sleep, Tao Yuan asked Cheng Cheng, "Do you think grandma can get a smooth divorce? The Zhao family's property and grandma's previous dowry have not been separated for a long time, right?"
"Grandma is determined to leave. Even if she doesn't want the family property, she must leave. What's more, over the years, she has exchanged money for gold, silver, jewelry and antiques. Some of them are given to my mother, and some are given to you. It's quite a large fortune. The rest should be left to the people in the second room. Grandma will not want what was left by Zhao's ancestors. Besides, the current situation in the business world is very different from before. The economy is getting worse and worse. The more it develops, the more intense the competition will be. If the Zhao family's situation cannot be changed as soon as possible, it will not last long."
"Why is grandma so determined to divorce all of a sudden?" Tao Yuan asked suspiciously.
"She hates the old man so much. Most of her life's happiness has been ruined by him. She has been fighting with the second room for so many years. It used to be to fight for the property she deserved. At the same time, she didn't want the old lady of the second room to be the main wife. Maybe because I suddenly figured it out and felt bored, I didn't want to die in this house as the old man's wife."
Tao Yuan nodded, thinking in his heart, for the women and brothers of that era, if they failed to marry a good man, they would be unbearable, unbearable, and most of their happiness would be ruined. up.
In the past, Mr. Zhao thought about getting a divorce, but Mrs. Zhao just refused to leave. Now Mrs. Zhao wants to divorce, so Mr. Zhao naturally cannot agree. But Mrs. Zhao didn't agree to the divorce back then, Mr. Zhao didn't have the courage to leave, and now Mrs. Zhao insisted on leaving, Mr. Zhao also didn't have the ability to keep her.
In the end, Mr. Zhao failed to get what he wanted. He thought that he would let go of his dignity and beg, so that the second room could only take a small part of the family property to live, and give the rest to their mother and child. He should probably agree. But Zhao Xiuning waited for so many years before finally waiting for the best time to punish Mr. Zhao, so it was impossible for him to let his grandson be named Zhao.
Zhao Xiuning was only interested in the property of the Zhao family. Cheng Sheng's ability to make money was far beyond other people's imagination, and it was even more impossible for him to soften his heart to Mr. Zhao's pleadings, because it was Mr. Zhao himself who would make money again and again. He has become hard-hearted, so he must bear the current result.
When the old lady left Zhao's house, it was naturally impossible for the old lady to live in Cheng's house, and people outside said it was not nice. Cheng Sheng bought a lot of real estate over the years, including several villas, and the old lady can live wherever she likes.
After the old lady divorced Mr. Zhao, Zhang Shufen didn't feel any joy in her heart, because Mr. Zhao didn't intend to register for marriage with her and make her his legitimate wife. She herself was exhausted physically and mentally because of what Zhao Haoyu couldn't do. Everything seemed pointless.
… … … … … … …
ten years later.
In the past ten years, the economic development speed of Los Angeles City can be said to be quite fast, and the urban area is already full of high-rise buildings everywhere. The land is becoming more and more valuable, so there are more and more high-rise buildings. The rich people now like to stand on high places. They enjoy the feeling of being close to the sky and overlooking the scenery on the ground. So now as long as it is a restaurant and restaurant on the highest few floors of a building, it must be the highest-end restaurant and restaurant.
Today is Ke Zhao's birthday, and it is also the last semester of his sixth grade. He wants to invite his classmates to help him celebrate his birthday.
Ke Zhao's school is a private bilingual aristocratic school, and the tuition fee alone is scary every year, not including some other fees. Since it is an aristocratic school, the students all receive elite education. There are at most 20 or 30 students in a class, and each student is a child of a wealthy family.
Ke Zhao invites his classmates to dinner every year on his birthday, but this year's birthday is his last birthday in elementary school, so he wants to make it better than previous years, so that he can show off to his classmates. Because when he was in the last semester, a new pair of twins came to his class. I heard that they skipped a grade, so they were younger than them.
Ke Zhao’s father told him that every classmate in their school was a child from a wealthy family, so he must establish a good relationship with the classmates in the class, so that when they grow up, these classmates will be very important to him. is a valuable existence. So Ke Zhao is good at being friends with everyone, he is very popular in the class, and his grades are also among the best, his vanity has been satisfied to a large extent.
But after the twins skipped a grade and came to their class, no matter whether it was a major test or a small test, no matter whether it was any test or competition, the twins were not only the first in the class, but also the first in the grade. They didn't deliberately make friends with everyone like Ke Zhao, but their popularity was better than Ke Zhao's. Because they are not only very good, but also very good-looking, whether they are teachers or classmates, they all like them very much.
Such a situation made Ke Zhao feel very jealous in his young heart, but he always remembered what his grandfather said to him, a smart person would never let others know what he was thinking. So he didn't tell anyone about his jealousy of the twins, not even his father Ke Yi. Because he knows that his father has always hoped that he can be a good enough and confident person. If he admits that he is jealous of others, he admits that he is not as good as others.
Ke Zhao is Ke Yi's son. The situation of the Ke family and the Zhao family has long since deteriorated, and now they can barely be considered rich. Ke Yi started to learn about business a long time ago, and then he found that it is too difficult to do a good job in business, and he is really not the material to learn to do business.
After working hard for a while, Ke Yi gave up directly. He knew that in the future development of this country, there will be many emerging industries, but only real estate will definitely make money in the future. So with the funds in his hands, he bought land if he could buy land, and bought a house if he could buy a house, thinking that even if the business collapsed in the future, his family would not be starved to death just by collecting rent. Moreover, he not only bought it himself, but also asked Zhao Haoyu and his parents to buy it. At the beginning, they disagreed with his approach, thinking that he was wasting money, but the more he went on, the more he proved that his approach was right. . It is precisely because of his actions that they can barely maintain the life of the rich.
Given the current financial situation of their family, it is actually very difficult for Ke Zhao to attend such an aristocratic school. But Ke Yi felt that it was because his parents only cared about pampering him and didn't teach him about business since he was a child, that made it so difficult for him to learn later. So he must let his child receive the best education, and must train him to become an elite from an early age. He can only hope that this son can bring him a better life in the future.
This time, Ke Zhao asked Ke Yi to reserve a private room in Tianyang Building, the top floor of the tallest building in the city center, and ask his classmates to help him celebrate his birthday.
Ke Yi didn't immediately refuse, but he hesitated for several days because of this matter, because Tianyang Tower is the most upscale and most luxurious restaurant in their city, even eating in the lobby is quite expensive, let alone It was time to reserve a private room. They had twenty or thirty students, and this meal might eat up their family's living expenses for a whole year.
After hesitating, Ke Yi agreed to Ke Zhao's request, because he felt that he was investing now, and there would definitely be returns in the future. Let Ke Zhao have face in front of those rich classmates, and those classmates will be more willing to be friends with him. This is the reality of this world.
But this matter was strongly opposed by Zhao Haoyu. Originally, Ke Yi insisted on spending so much money to send Ke Zhao to a noble school. However, there is a big problem with the education method he wants. He should not let a child develop a vain character from an early age. What's more, that aristocratic school is a place where really rich people will send their children. Ke Zhao knows the gap between him and other classmates' families, and sooner or later he will have psychological problems.
The two often quarreled about the children, but Ke Yi insisted on educating the children in his own way, and he felt that he spent the Ke family's money instead of the Zhao family's money, Zhao Haoyu had no right to control how he educated Child, as long as he takes care of the child he adopted.
So this time Zhao Haoyu's objection was still ineffective, Ke Yi decided to do it, and seeing Ke Zhao's happy face after he agreed, he felt very satisfied.
