The funeral is over——

Relatives and friends left the cemetery under the arrangement of housekeeper an.

Ye Jianxi and mu Luochen stay at the end, looking at an old man standing in front of the cemetery, motionless.

Mu Luochen stepped forward and comforted him: "grandfather an, now people are in peace. You should not think about your body, but also for Niuniu. You are the only one left in her family."

Mr. an stroked the two photos on the tombstone and said, "yes, I'm the only one left, but I can't live long. After I leave, Niuniu will have only one person left. "

At such an age, there is no regret for him to die.

But he can't let Niu Niu go.

I always thought that if I left, Sasa would accompany Niuniu. Now even Sasa is gone. What can he do as an old man who can't live for one or two years?

Mr. an doesn't blame Jing Sasa. He only blames himself for failing to protect his descendants and make them live a long life.

"Grandfather an, I and Luochen will treat Niuniu as our own daughter."

Ye Jianxi comforted.

"I know you'll be nice to Niuniu. It's terrible. I'm afraid that those people who want to settle down will not be able to accommodate Niuniu." Old man an sighed and turned to look at them. "Don't worry, my old man will help Niu Niu shovel Ping'an's house before he dies. All those who want to hinder her will never let Niu become your drag."

At the end of the speech, Mr. an didn't give them another chance to speak. He took a step and said, "let's go."

Ye Jianxi and mu Luochen looked at each other.

Muluochen nodded.

Ye Jianxi takes a step and follows Mr. an to leave.

*

At the foot of the mountain, Mr. an gets into a car alone, while ye Jianxi and mu Luochen ride with Tianyou and Tianbao.

After driving for a certain distance, Mr. an's eyes suddenly turned dark. At first, he thought it was his illusion, but he knew that his body was really wrong only when more darkness was used.

Mr. an went to his pocket to feel for the medicine, but before he could take out the pill, the bottle fell to the ground.

Steward ANN, sitting in the front, heard the sound and asked the driver to stop.

But Mr. an said in a trembling voice, "don't stop, Jianxi and Luochen. They will know that I'm not well. Just pick up the medicine bottle and take out two."

Housekeeper Ann rushed from the front car to the back car, took out two pieces of medicine and put them into the mouth of old man Ann.

Old man an swallowed the medicine, calmed down, and said in a low voice, "after I get sick, don't let Luochen know, lest they worry."

"Old man..."

Steward Ann wants to talk.

But without waiting for him to say it, Mr. an stopped him and said, "housekeeper, you've been with me for so many years. Is it time to retire? I remember the last time your son came, he asked me to take you home for old age

Housekeeper an understands that the old man is "threatening" himself with retirement. At the same time, he has to respond to the old man's request: "old man, I've lived at home all my life. I'm not going anywhere except to follow you. Don't let me retire. Mr. and Mrs. mu, I promise I won't say a word more. "

Old man an's hand trembled, closed his eyes and sighed.

"Well, I don't have much time to live. You can stay with me for a long time and go back to your hometown to enjoy the happiness. When you leave, I'll make arrangements for you. I won't let you make a sacrifice for settling down in vain. "

Steward Ann's eyes were red.

Old man an seemed tired. He closed his eyes and had a rest. He didn't speak any more.

*

Back home, it was more than three in the afternoon, and everyone had lunch. At the end of the banquet, Mr. an personally came forward to thank the guests, and then sent them away. When there are only a few people left to settle down, Mr. an's face is tired. Mu Luochen is ready to ask him to go back to rest first and send these people by himself.

However——

A few people who settle down are reluctant to leave, looking at old man an with hesitation.

Mu Luochen looked at several people and was alert.

He could see that, naturally, Mr. an could also see that these people were not pure minded and said, "do you have anything else to say?"

"Uncle, I really want to tell you something, but..."

The speaker is anshenghuai, who is the eldest in the family. He is over 70 years old and his temples are white. He is not much younger than Mr. an, but his seniority and prestige make him obey. He seems to be shorter than Mr. an.

In the middle of his speech, an Shenghuai took a look at mu Luochen.

It was clear that he wanted to talk to Mr. an alone.

Mu Luochen understood what he meant, but he stood in the same place with a cold face and did not move.

Looking at an Shenghuai and other people's faces, Mr. an had already guessed what they wanted to say. Now secretly sneer, Moqing and Sasa just buried, these ambitious guys can't wait to share a share.

Disgusted with them, Mr. an didn't show anything on his face and said, "Sheng Huai, Luochen is our in laws and our people. What can't you say in front of him?"

An Shenghuai's face gradually turned red under the gaze of an Laozi and mu Luochen.

Of course, mu Luochen can't listen to what he wants to say to the old man. Because what they want to say is that they can't settle down in the hands of an outsider like mu Luochen.

Niuniu is a girl. The old man left her all the property of settling down. When the old man died in the future, the Mu family could take over Niuniu's inherited property by marriage.

After settling down, the old man controlled almost two-thirds of the property of the family. If the Mu family took all these properties with them, the rest of them would drink from the West!

So, in any case, they can't watch this happen.

Either Niu Niu stays at home, inherits everything from her family, and selects excellent people to take care of her when she grows up; Or, while the old man is still there, give him the adoption of a family of children.

They had already discussed these two methods, but Mo Qing was there before. He was afraid that he would work hard with them in order to protect Niu Niu, so he didn't dare to come up with them.

But now that Mo Qing is gone, only the old man is left to settle down. I'm afraid it won't last long. They want to put it forward. Mr. an has always considered the overall situation of settling down and is likely to agree to their proposal.

Old man an looked at the cramped anshenghuai and sneered coldly from the bottom of his heart. If you want money, you don't have the courage to say it openly even in front of Luo Chen. Can you expect them to summon up the courage to resist those who want to divide and settle down in the future?

Although settling down is also a clear distinction between the lineage and the side branch, it is different from other aristocratic families. The descendants of the side branch can share about a quarter of the property of settling down. Even a quarter is a considerable amount of property.

If they have the ability to rely on this property, they can develop to a good situation. But to his disappointment, the offsprings have been getting worse year by year. After losing all their property, they have to rely on the subsidies of their direct family.

If it wasn't for the lack of a leader in their side branch, no matter how eccentric he was, he wouldn't have given all the property of settling down to Niuniu, a child.

A small part of the reason why he left Niuniu was that he was worried that Niuniu, an orphan, would be wronged in the future, but he was more planning for the future of settling down.

Mu Luochen's intelligence is not inferior to Mo Qing's, and his two sons, Tianyou and Tianbao, have good qualities. In the future, if one of them can marry Niu Niu, they will have a chance to make a comeback. Even if they don't like Niu Niu, they will not swallow Niu Niu's property with mu Luochen and ye Jianxi. If Niu Niu has some ability, she will not lose all her property. As long as she can manage it well, she will not fail to live up to the management of her ancestors.

But if we leave these moths, they will only nibble away the settled industry! At that point, even if he died, he would not be able to face the ancestors who settled down!

*

For a moment, Mr. an stared at anshenghuai and said, "do you have anything to tell me? If not, I'll go back to rest first. "

After that, Mr. an turned to leave. tqR1

In a hurry, an Shenghuai took an's arm and said, "uncle, I know that Moqing has gone. You are very sad, so I want my grandson yunhuan to accompany you."

The words start, and the rest goes smoothly.

Anshenghuai see an old man face no sullen, fluently put his prepared words out in advance. Of course, when he said that, he ignored those things that were not good for him.

"You've seen yunhuan before, and you praise him for being smart and like you when you were young. I heard about Mo Qing these days. He yells to see you every day. He wants to accompany you and make you happy. I didn't want him to disturb you, but I didn't expect Sasa to go with me. It's strange that you and Niuniu live in such a big yard, so I still want to send him here. On the one hand, he can add more popularity to your family, and on the other hand, Niuniu can have a playmate

An Shenghuai has finished his words.

Old man an's face remained unchanged.

An Sheng Huai was not sure what the old man thought. He looked at the other people standing beside him. Among them, an MO LAN, who is more tactful, stood up and said, "grandfather, if you don't like Yun Huan, there are other children in the family. As long as you say a word, we will send the children here."

After hearing this, an finally moved his face and said, "I'm sorry you're so filial. However, there is already God's blessing and treasure at home. Niuniu doesn't lack playmates, so there's no need to send this child. "

The meaning of refusal is very obvious. Unfortunately, anshenghuai's people are thinking about the huge property of settling down. How can they give up easily? An Shenghuai said with a smile, "uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Mu are from city A. they will not stay in city a all the time. When they leave, Niuniu will have no playmates. She can't adapt to bringing other children here for a while and a half. It's better to send yunhuan over first. When they get familiar with each other, Mr. and Mrs. Mu will go back to a city in the future. Niuniu and yunhuan... "I plan to let Niuniu go back with them when Luochen and Jianxi return to a city in the future." An old son a word, upset anshenghuai's wishful thinking. Let Niuniu follow Mu's family back to city a?! Old man, this is iron heart, want to settle down to the people of Mu family?! After choking for a long time, an Shenghuai seized the last chance to persuade him and said, "Niu Niu has gone. Don't you miss her, uncle? Even if you don't want to be Niuniu and have no one to accompany you, it's not a solution. " Old man an said coldly, "I miss her. Why don't you take her back? As for you said no one with me, how can there be no? Now there are nearly a hundred servants and guards in this family. Are you worried that no one will take care of me or accompany me? " Mr. an blocked up an Shenghuai's words one by one, and then glanced at the other descendants present. My heart is cold. Thanks to them, they have already paved the way for Niuniu, otherwise she will fall into the hands of this group of people and be gnawed to pieces! Old man an didn't have the heart to fight with these people any more. He coldly told housekeeper an, "housekeeper, please go back. I'm tired and want to have a rest." After that, Mr. an took a step and went back to the courtyard. Anshenghuai wants to follow, but is stopped by housekeeper an: "please." An Sheng Huai's face was angry, and because mu Luochen was still in trouble, Yu Qiang held back his anger and said, "steward an, if you want to rest, please let him rest. It's not good for us to disturb you. But some words, I also want to say with uncle, I and Mo LAN they a few go to the living room to wait, wait for uncle to wake up, you help us notice Housekeeper an said in a straight line: "Sir, it's not that I don't want to leave you to settle down, but the old man has already spoken. Please don't embarrass me. Go back now. " An Shenghuai's anger came up. The old man was the head of the family. He was not polite to him. What the hell is this housekeeper? It's just a dog at home! In the future, he will be the boss of the family! Let a little housekeeper go, isn't it a matter of mouth? An Sheng Huai drooped and said, "if I insist on staying at home?" An housekeeper smell speech, raise eyes, and anshenghuai head to head, way: "that I have to ask the guard to ask you to go out." Voice down, guard at the side of the automatic Wai to anshenghuai and others. An Sheng Huai's face was livid. He bit his teeth and kept silent for a while. He pointed to housekeeper an and said, "OK, you can do it. We'll settle this account later." He says, want to take an MO LAN a few people. But after listening to Mu Luochen suddenly said, "Mr. an, please walk slowly." Anshenghuai looks back at mu Luochen, ushering in a "whoosh" flying shadow, straight hit his face, at the same time, mu Luochen sounds like a mixture of ice“ Please put away your things, Mr. an. Also, I'd like to remind you that in case Tian'an is gone one day, Niu Niu is also the owner of this family. If I have mu Luochen, I will never let anyone bully her. " Mu Luochen's every word was clearly introduced into anshenghuai's ear. He was stunned for a long time and wanted to speak. But before he spoke, mu Luochen had already turned around and left.
