Marriage in the 1980s 16
Zhao Xiuning and Cheng Sheng heard Old Master Zhao coming, and immediately walked out of the study to the garden. As soon as they arrived in the garden, they saw Old Master Zhao staring at the two children back and forth, as if thinking and choosing something.
"Ohhhhh, old man, what are you doing? My two grandsons are not specifically for people to look at." Zhao Xiuning said angrily.
"I don't see it for nothing, I'll give the money." Old Master Zhao said while looking at Zhao Xiuning.
"That's really embarrassing, you just give me all the property, and I don't want you to look at it in vain." Zhao Xiuning sat down and looked at Old Master Zhao and said, "I heard that you want to ask me for a grandson Are you sleepwalking before you wake up?"
"I hope that one of these two children can be named Zhao, and all the assets of the Zhao family will be inherited by these two children." Old Master Zhao said seriously.
"Don't!" Zhao Xiuning raised his hand and said, "I am not rare, and my two grandchildren will not be rare, even if the ten Zhao family properties are given to them, I cannot let any of them have the surname Zhao. "
"Anyway, they are all descendants of the Zhao family. You are also descendants of the Zhao family. If you don't let their surnames be Zhao, you will have no face to meet the ancestors of the Zhao family."
"Then I won't see it. I'm already in the Cheng family anyway. People in the Cheng family live and die, and death is the ghost of the Cheng family. Naturally, the ancestors of the Cheng family will also be the ancestors of the Cheng family." Zhao Xiuning looked confused. "Well, I said, old man, you’re not suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and suddenly amnesia? Why would I not let my son and grandson be named Zhao? You don’t know why? You forced me, you I forced myself to prefer not to be from the Zhao family, than to have my children and grandchildren from the Zhao family! Now the second room is about to cut off the children and grandchildren, and you think of my son and grandson, who is from the Zhao family? You don’t think it’s too late. ?!"
Facing Zhao Xiuning's loud questioning, Old Master Zhao knew he was wrong and had nothing to say. But for the purpose of coming today, he must achieve "however you want me to compensate you, as long as you promise me, let one of the children be named Zhao, or let Cheng Sheng and Xiao Ling have another child named Zhao."
"No, yes, yes." Zhao Xiuning said categorically, "I just want to retaliate against you, so I can't have children with the surname Zhao. I have waited for so many years, and now I have finally waited for your retribution, wanting me to give up revenge on you, you Don't have this kind of dream."
"I let all the second rooms 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." Old Master Zhao continued to make his own terms.
"No need." Zhao Xiuning turned to the old lady Zhao and said, "Mom, you can tell him about that matter now, so that he can give up as soon as possible."
"I have asked Xiu Ning to find a lawyer for me. Now the lawyer is preparing. He will help me to sue for a divorce in a while. I will soon move out from here. It just happens that you and Zhang Shufen have not always been Do you want to be a full-fledged wife? Now I can finally do what I want." Mrs. Zhao said very calmly.
"Did you hear me clearly?" Zhao Xiuning asked, looking at Old Master Zhao.
The two children looked sleepy. Cheng Wei put Xiao Yu into Cheng Sheng's hands and said, "Take the children back to the room and rest."
Tao Yuan and Cheng Sheng returned to the room with the baby in their arms, and there was no need for them to listen to the following content.
After returning to the room and coaxing the child to sleep, Tao Yuan asked Cheng Sheng, "Do you think grandma can get a divorce smoothly? The Zhao family's wealth and grandma's previous dowry have long been separated, right?"
"Grandma is determined to leave. Even if she doesn’t want the family property, she must leave. What's more, in recent years, she has exchanged money for gold, silver, jewelry and antiques. Part of it was given to my mother and part to you, too. It’s quite a lot of fortune. Leave the rest to the people in the second room. The Zhao family left it, and grandma won’t want it. Besides, the current business situation is very different from before. The economy With more development, competition will become stronger and stronger. If the situation of the Zhao family cannot be changed as soon as possible, it will not last long."
"Why is Grandma so determined to divorce suddenly?" Tao Yuan asked suspiciously.
"She hates the old man so much, and most of her life’s happiness is ruined in his hands. She has been fighting with Erfang for so many years. She used to fight for the property she deserves. At the same time, she didn’t want the old lady of Erfang to take the position of wife. .Maybe I suddenly figured it out, and I feel bored. I don’t want to die but I have to die in this home as the old man’s wife."
Tao Yuan nodded, thinking in her heart, for women and brothers of that era, if they failed to marry a good man, they would be so unbearable and hard to eat, and most of their happiness would be ruined. Up.
In the past, Old Master Zhao thought about divorce, but Mrs. Zhao just didn't leave. Now Mrs. Zhao wants to get a divorce, Old Master Zhao naturally cannot agree. But when Mrs. Zhao disagreed with the divorce, Old Master Zhao did not have the courage to be separated. Now Mrs. Zhao has to be separated, and Old Master Zhao also has no ability to keep her.
In the end, Old Master Zhao didn't get what he wanted. He thought he put down his dignity and pleaded so that Erfang could only take away a small part of the family property to live on, and give them all the rest to their mother and child. He should probably agree to it. But Zhao Xiuning waited so many years before finally waiting for the best time to punish Old Master Zhao. It is impossible for him to give his grandson the surname Zhao.
Zhao Xiuning is simply interested in the assets of the Zhao family. Cheng Sheng’s ability to make money is far beyond the imagination of others. It is even less likely that he will be soft on Old Master Zhao’s pleading, because it is Old Master Zhao himself, time and time again It turned him into a heart of stone once and again, so he must bear the current results.
When the old lady left the Zhao's house, it was naturally impossible to live in the Cheng's house. Cheng Sheng has bought a lot of real estate over the years. There are several villas, and the old lady can live wherever he likes to live.
After the old lady divorced Old Master Zhao, Zhang Shufen felt no joy, because Old Master Zhao did not intend to register her marriage with her, so that she would become his righteous wife. She herself was physically and mentally happy because of the things Zhao Haoyu could not have. Tired, feel that everything seems to have no meaning.
………………………………
Ten years later.
In the past ten years, the rate of economic development in Los Angeles can be said to be quite fast. The urban area is already full of tall buildings everywhere. Land is becoming more and more valuable, so there are more and more high-rise buildings. Nowadays rich people like to stand on high places. They enjoy the feeling of being close to the sky and overlooking the ground. Therefore, as long as the restaurants and restaurants on the highest floors of a certain building are now, they must be the most advanced restaurants and restaurants.
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.
The school Ke Zhao is in is a private bilingual aristocratic school. The tuition fee is scary every year, and some other expenses are not included. Since it is an aristocratic school, the students are all receiving elite education. There are only 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 birthday, but this year's birthday is his last birthday in elementary school, so he wants to do better than in previous years so that he can show off to his classmates. Because when he was last semester, a new pair of twins came to their class. He heard that they had skipped a grade, so they were younger than them.
Ke Zhao’s father told him that every classmate in their school is a child of a wealthy family, so he must have a good relationship with the classmates, so that when they all grow up, these classmates will be to him. It 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 among the best. His vanity is largely satisfied.
But after the twins jumped to their class, every time no matter whether it was a big exam or a small exam, whether it was any exam or competition, the twins were not only the first in the class, but also the first in the grade. They did not deliberately make friends with everyone like Ke Zhao, but their popularity is better than Ke Zhao. Because they are not only very good, but also very good-looking. Both teachers and classmates like them very much.
This situation caused Ke Zhao to feel very jealous in his young heart, but he always remembered what his grandfather said to him. A smart person would definitely not let others notice his inner thoughts. So he was jealous of the twins. He didn't tell anyone about it, not even his father Ke Yi. Because he knew that his father always wanted him to be a good enough and confident enough person. If he admitted that he was jealous of others, he would admit that he was not good enough.
Ke Zhao is the son of Ke Yi. The conditions of the Ke family and the Zhao family have long been worse than before, and now they can barely be regarded as rich. Ke Yi started to learn business things a long time ago, and then he found that it was too difficult to do business well, and he was really not the one to learn to do business.
After working hard for a period of time, Ke Yi gave up directly. He knew that there would be many emerging industries in the future development of this country, but only real estate would definitely make money in the future. So he has the funds in his hand, buy land if he can buy land, and buy a house if he can buy a house, thinking that even if his business collapses in the future, he will not starve his family just by collecting rent. And he not only bought it himself, but also asked Zhao Haoyu and his parents to buy it. At first, they disagreed with his approach and felt that he was wasting money, but the later, the more proof 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 economic situation of their family, it is actually very reluctant for Ke Zhao to attend such an aristocratic school. But Ke Yi felt that it was because his parents only cared about spoiling him and didn't teach him business matters since he was a child, that made it so difficult for him to learn later. Therefore, he must allow his children to receive the best education, and must train him to become an elite from an early age. In the future, he can only hope that this son can bring him a better life.
This time, Ke Zhao asked Ke Yi to book a private room in Tianyang Building, the top floor of the highest building in the city center, and ask his classmates to help him celebrate his birthday.
Ke Yi did not immediately refuse, but he hesitated for several days because of this incident, because Tianyang Tower is the most upscale and luxurious hotel in the city. Even a meal in the lobby is quite expensive, let alone It's time to book a private room. They have 20 or 30 students. This meal may cost their family's living expenses for the whole year.
After hesitating, Ke Yi agreed to Ke Zhao's request, because he felt that he was investing now, and there would be a return in the future. Let Ke Zhao save face in front of those wealthy classmates, and those classmates are more willing to be friends with him. This world is such a reality.
However, this matter was strongly opposed by Zhao Haoyu. Originally, Ke Yi insisted on spending so much money to send Ke Zhao to the noble school. Zhao Haoyu opposed it because he felt that although Ke Zhao was a very smart and precocious child, Ke Zhao However, there is a big problem with Yi's education method. He should not let a child develop a vanity-loving character from an early age. What's more, that noble school is a place where people who are really rich will send their children. Ke Zhao knows the gap between him and other classmates, and sooner or later there will be psychological problems.
The two often quarreled about their children, but Ke Yi insisted on educating the children in his own way, and he felt that he spent the money of the Ke family, and did not spend the money of the Zhao family, Zhao Haoyu has no right to care how he educates Child, he can take care of the child he adopted.
So this time Zhao Haoyu's objection was still invalid. Ke Yi decided to do all that. He felt very satisfied when he saw Ke Zhao's joy after he agreed.
