Chapter 228 Ecology
Since a meeting was going to be held, Wang Xiaohu decided not to leave. He had to watch the fun.
Everybody sit down. This time it is not the turn of the three old men to speak because the deaf old lady is sitting in the middle.
"Everyone is here, so let me formally announce something. Xiangdong, come here. I would like to solemnly introduce you to everyone. This is my nephew Han Xiangdong." The deaf old lady's face showed a kindness that she had never shown before, not even to Sha Zhu.
The retirement group collapsed at this moment.
Wang Xiaohu was also a little panicked. The plot development didn’t seem right. Where did the deaf old lady’s nephew come from? Wasn’t she said to be a lonely old lady?
...He specifically hired someone to investigate the deaf old lady's past.
She used to work as a maid in Prince Su's Palace. Later, she was dismissed from the palace due to turmoil. Then she found someone to marry. It was not found that her husband had brothers. It was not found out because of the chaos caused by the Anti-Japanese War. Anyway, she finally came to this courtyard to retire.
This courtyard house was once a small branch of the Prince Su's Palace, and was considered a very small part. So when the deaf old lady came back to live here, she felt like she was home and called herself the ancestor.
These are all common information that can be found. It seems that there are still some things he doesn't know.
……
"Hello everyone, I am my great-grandmother's great-nephew. Thank you all for taking care of my great-grandmother over the years. My brothers and I only found this place recently. To express our gratitude, my father took out two hundred yuan and shared it with everyone as a token of appreciation for your contributions over the years." Han Xiangdong was a gentle and refined man wearing a Zhongshan suit and a crew cut. He looked very capable and energetic.
Wang Xiaohu took a glance and noticed something was wrong. The guy's upper and lower body were in perfect proportion, and his wrists were even as thick as his.
Are there so many people who know Kung Fu these days? Wang Xiaohu felt for a moment that Kung Fu was worthless.
Of course, there is also a possibility that this person is born with supernatural powers, so his wrists are thick.
As they were talking, people in the courtyard started lining up to receive their money, 20 yuan, and each household could receive about yuan.
"Do we want this money?" Wang Dalu pulled his two sons over and asked softly.
"Of course, why not? We've delivered a bowl of porridge to the deaf old lady before, so we deserve the money!" Wang Xiaolong didn't care about that. There were several families in the team who had never received anything delivered and they were already lining up, so why shouldn't they go?
"I think it's not easy to get this money. Who knows if it's clean or not. So, let's do a favor and give it to the poor households in our courtyard. Our family is really not short of money now, and it's even a bit enviable. Why not take this opportunity to eliminate the negative impact." Wang Xiaohu pulled the excited Wang Xiaohu and persuaded.
Ever since Zhang Hailian got the job of sweeping the floor, she also went to work as a waiter from time to time to earn extra money. In addition, Wang Dalu and Wang Xiaolong were two regular employees. If it weren't for Wang Xiaohu to calm the situation, she would have been targeted long ago.
As for the money, Wang Xiaohu really didn't want it. This person gave out money as soon as he came. It was a shame to take money from others. 200 yuan was not a small amount of money. He just distributed it like that. Even if it was to thank him for taking care of the deaf old lady, it was too abnormal.
"That's fine. It's just 20 yuan. There's gain in loss." Wang Dalu thought about it and agreed. He just wanted to live a stable life now and didn't want to cause any trouble.
"My Wang family will not share this money. The remaining money will be distributed equally to the needy families in the courtyard. We should also show our kindness by lending flowers to Buddha."
Following Wang Dalu's announcement, everyone started to compliment him and the flattery continued. As expected, many people were feeling unbalanced and thought that they had taken care of him a lot and should get more.
By doing this, at least I won’t be jealous or resentful towards the Wang family anymore.
Han Xiangdong looked at it in surprise. He didn't expect that someone could resist the temptation of money. This was more than 20 yuan, enough for four people to eat for a month.
When he saw Wang Xiaohu, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded as a greeting.
This made Wang Xiaohu puzzled, and he nodded in response.
"Brother, do you know this person?" Wang Xiaolong asked curiously.
"I don't know him. He greeted me and I just responded politely. Maybe it's because... I'm famous?" Wang Xiaohu smiled narcissistically.
"It is very likely that in this generation, everyone knows the honest and upright Wang Xiaohu."
"Such an ugly nickname, I would rather people call me Wang Lao Hu."
……
After the money was divided, everyone's attitude towards Han Xiangdong took a 180-degree turn and became extremely friendly.
Yi Zhonghai could only smile helplessly, leaving no one knowing what he was thinking.
"Madam, how come I didn't know you had a nephew?" Sha Zhu took the money and glanced at Yi Zhonghai. Seeing the other party nod slightly, he finally couldn't help but asked.
The deaf old lady was lying on the chair with a smug look on her face, and she said slowly, "When I got married, there was a turmoil, and my brother-in-law wanted to go out and make a living, so we lost contact. I didn't expect that he came back from overseas recently, and he brought four nephews and grandchildren with him. My life is complete now."
Four!
Everyone was in an uproar; they didn't expect there were four grandchildren!
Everyone had different thoughts, especially Yi Zhonghai, who had completely given up, but was very unwilling to accept it.
Just when he was about to take care of the old woman and put the inheritance in his pocket, he didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin would appear in the end, and there were several of them.
Sha Zhu was also stunned. He was no longer his wife's beloved grandson. He felt very lost and as if he had been abandoned.
It was just like He Daqing had abandoned him back then. He was a person who was not needed.
Qin Huairu pursed her lips, walked forward and gently patted Sha Zhu on the back: "Zhu Zi, you still have us, as well as Daye, Banggeng, Xiaodang, and Huaihua. They have always treated you as their uncle."
"Sister Qin..." Sha Zhu was deeply moved. He didn't expect that the person who understood him best was Qin Huairu. The lunch box was not given in vain!
Multiple ecologies, this is multiple ecologies.
Wang Xiaohu saw all kinds of emotions on everyone’s faces: joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, envy, jealousy, and hatred.
"Don't worry, my grandfather and my brother have other places to live. The four of us brothers will take turns to take care of grandma in the future. Please forgive me if there is any impact on you. If it can be changed, we will definitely change it." Han Xiangdong is still cultured, and the way he speaks makes people feel very comfortable.
The meeting was over, and Wang Xiaohu and others went back home to rest.
Everyone else in the courtyard was very happy. They didn't care whether the deaf old lady had relatives or not, because in the end it would not benefit them anyway.
Even Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui didn't say a word from beginning to end, just to laugh at Yi Zhonghai's joke.
You used to use the deaf old woman to pressure them, and now you are bitten back. All your years of planning have gone down the drain. It's so funny that Liu Haizhong almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
