Mingxue had Uncle Zhong bring up the gift her parents had prepared. She had never seen what was inside, and every year, after they sent it back, all she had to do was write down the names written on the note under each gift, then tear it up and present it by name.

Minghe only needed to glance at these gifts to have Uncle Zhong put them aside first, while Cao Qinggrong rolled her eyes. It was clear that she did not like these gifts, and just as Minghe was about to say a few words to Mingxue, she said, "The dishes are all here, let's eat."

He helped Minghe toward the large oval dining table.

On his right hand side was the oldest among his children, Ming Loyalty, whose position in this family was as awkward as Ming Li. This was because he was the child born of Cao Qingbong and her ex-husband, and Cao Qinggrong had married him together to Ming He. Although he had changed his surname to Ming since he was young, he was separated from the other Ming children, such as Ming Yi, Ming Lian, and Ming Zhe, who were born from different families.

The seats next to Cao Qingbiong were originally occupied by Mingyi and her husband, because they hadn't returned home. Mingyi and her husband sat next to Ming Loyal and Mingzhe, while Mingzhe and his wife, Mingzhe, weren't married yet, sat next to their brother-in-law. Further down, they sat next to the Ming family's third generation, who were loyal and childless, and only adopted an orphan that Cao Qingniong didn't like, so they almost never brought him out.

Taking advantage of the fact that the New Year's Eve meal hadn't officially started, Ming Lian, for the first time ever, started to care about Ming Xue Mo: "Xue Mo, you're about to graduate from high school, right?"

Mingxue only nodded, not saying anything. Her usual cold attitude was something everyone was used to, so it wasn't considered rude.

Ming Lian asked again, "Do you have a boyfriend?"

Ming Xue Mo looked at him coldly, not knowing what he meant by that. But there was one thing she was sure of, and that was that he would never bless her.

Seeing that she seemed to be angry, Ming Lian laughed and tried to smooth things over. "Don't look at Third Uncle with that kind of eyes. If you can't enter university, then it's a blind date. It's not too early to talk about this topic."

Lin Hui, who was sitting in the middle of them, laughed harshly, "Xue Mei is the talented girl of Ming family and the top student of Xi Hui high school. How could she not enter university?"

Ming Lian glared at her and growled, "Is there a place for you to speak?"

He suddenly knocked on the table and waited until everyone had quieted down. He then said slowly, "Today is New Year's Eve, and our family will be spending the Spring Festival together. Let's take this opportunity. Before we start eating, I want to say a few words."

"As the saying goes, family and prosperity, our Ming family has not gone through a smooth journey up to this day. I hope you will remember this one word: unite. As long as you brothers unite, husband and wife will live harmoniously, this will be an inexhaustible wealth for you."

"In addition, I am already old and my body is getting worse every year. In order to prevent any unexpected situations that occur in the future, I will burden you all. It would be better to take advantage of my good spirit and arrange everything properly. I have already made my will, and on the day of my departure, the lawyer will read you my distribution. I declare in advance that you are all my children, and regardless of the contents of my will, I request that you sincerely cooperate in the management of the Ming Group, and that you absolutely must not rebel over the family property! Do you all understand? "

As soon as Minghe finished speaking, the four children of the Ming family looked at each other in dismay. Apparently, none of them had expected Minghe to suddenly make a will. She had only heard about the will this morning. He had given her a key, he said, to the first door of the safe, and two other keys, which were locked in the safe by the lawyer and notary.

Minh's will was undoubtedly the heaviest bomb of the year, and the unforetold detonation had caught everyone by surprise. It was still Mingyi who reacted the fastest. She intentionally said unhappily, "Dad, what are you saying? Your body is really tough."

Ming Lian also agreed, "That's right, Dad. It's the new year, what will you make? It's so unlucky."

Ming Loyalty had a different view from the two of them, "There is nothing unlucky about this. When people eat grains and grains, there will be a day when they die from old age.

Ming Lian immediately started firing at Ming Dong. "Big Brother, what do you mean by that? Curse our Dad, right?"

Ming Yi also chimed in from the side, "Third brother, don't you understand that this matter has nothing to do with you?"

"Eldest sister …" Mingyi and Ming Yi were once again at each other's throats. "If you say it like that, then I'm not happy. Aren't I a part of this family?"

Ming Xue Mo rubbed her forehead sadly, she was here again. This so called big family gathering was like this eight times out of ten. It was enough to stir up a storm when it was just a small matter. However, this time, they had a good reason to be careless with each other. After all, the will was directly related to their future standard of living.

However … Ming Xue Mo was also a bit surprised, why did her grandfather suddenly announce the matter of the will, why did he have to choose the new year, and why couldn't she bring it up after the new year was over? She did not know what he was thinking, but she was sure that the meal would not go well.

Just as Ming Xue Mo predicted, the brothers of the Ming Family were getting more and more noisy, and even Ming Zhe who had remained silent at the start gradually couldn't hold it in anymore and joined the battle.

However, it wasn't exactly as she expected … Seeing that he had not closed his eyes yet, these disgraceful children were already quarreling with him, completely treating his "home and celebration" as farts. Ming-He used his cane to knock on the wooden floor and shouted with a dark red face, "Enough, all of you shut up! "Look at all of you …"

At this point, Minghe stopped. At first Minghe thought Minghe was trying to figure out how to scold and wake up this bunch of useless things, but after a while, Minghe didn't say anything. When she felt that there was something wrong with him and looked towards Minghe, she realized that his mouth was crooked, and with a "dong" sound, he slipped out of his chair and fell to the ground.

"Grandfather!" Ming Xue cried out in fear.

The Ming brothers, who were in the midst of a heated argument, did not hear her call. Even Minghe fainted all of a sudden, and they did not realize that it was Cao Qinggrong who saw Minghe lying sloppily on the ground. She shouted a few times continuously, "Old Master — Old Master, what's wrong?" But no matter how much he shouted that he shouldn't, he still couldn't help but roar: "Enough, are you guys trying to anger your dad to death?!"

These people then looked towards Cao Qinggrong in unison, maintaining a posture that was even more impressive than a woman swearing in public. Following Cao Qingqing's half-squatting posture, they saw Minghe lying on the ground. At this time, everyone panicked and rushed forward, afraid that if they were a step too slow, they would appear to be less filial than others. They cried out, "Dad — — Dad!"

In that instant, the entire scene was a mess. It was unknown who woke up first and said, "Quick, quickly send to the hospital …" Next, Ming Zhe carried Ming He on his back and hurried out the door. Ming Loyal, who was supporting the unconscious Ming He, ran with him, protecting him from falling down. Ming Lian ran faster than both of them, and he was the first to rush to the door and shout: "Old Yang, prepare the car!" As for Ming Yi, he supported Cao Qinggrong, whose legs had gone limp, and quickly followed behind her.

The whole family separated into six cars and rushed to the hospital.

A good meal for the year was over.

On the other side, Teacher Tang was currently leading her entire family's elders to offer incense to Gu Zhenxiong.

"Old Gu, it's been another New Year's Eve. This is also the ninth New Year's Eve since you left us. Everything is fine at home, so you can rest assured." You must eat and drink well while you are there alone. If you lack anything, just tell me and I will burn it for you. "Don't worry about me. I'm fine, I just miss you a lot."

With tears in her eyes, she bowed three times, stuck her head in front of Gu Zhenxiong's memorial tablet and walked away.

Gu Zi asked next. He took the incense from A-Qin, stood upright, and bowed deeply. Without saying anything else, he just said, "Dad, happy new year! Your son really misses you. "

Following behind him was Gu Si. He also clasped his hands in greeting and said, "Grandfather, it's Gu Si. Happy New Year!"

Finally, it was Gu Ziyu and the Moswins. Mo Siwen's father had also died long ago, so for the past few years, both he and his wife had been celebrating New Year at the Gu family. Unlike Gu Zi who asked Gu Si, who was kneeling in front of Gu Zhenxiong's memorial tablet, Gu Ziyu took the incense and sobbed silently. Mo Siwen patted Gu Shenwei's shoulder, telling her not to be too upset, "Dad, Gu Ziyu and I came to see you, we'll be fine. Happy New Year. "

After inserting the incense, Gu Ziyu refused to get up, just like in the past. Gu Qishao and Mo Siwen each held one of her arms, lifting her up. Gu Qishao even threatened her, "Gu Ziyu, today is the new year.

Gu Ziyu glared at him with tears in her eyes. "You can do it!"

Gu Zi asked and helped Gu Ziyu further away. He let the people below burn incense for Gu Zhenxiong one by one, then began the final wave of cleaning up his second sister. "Mo Siwen, look at your wife. She's so fierce, you can bear it too."

Mo Siwen, who had been poisoned by love, was obviously hopeless. With his eyes that were the most eye-catching, as long as Gu Ziyu appeared within his focus, she would become even gentler than spring water. She had no way of defending herself, "You're not allowed to bully your sister."

Gu Zi asked while rolling his eyes. "It's really not so bad to see the two of you."
