Doting on concubines and destroying wives? I don’t want to be the mistress of the Hou clan anymore.

Chapter 86 Old things
Chen Jue was also used to being outspoken. After his father's second marriage, his heart turned to his wife, the Lu family, and he ignored him, the eldest son who lost his mother.

He was used to making decisions on everything by himself, or discussing with Gu Zhao, and he had never had the habit of discussing with his father.

But Lin Qiyuan was different. He was the eldest son in the family and would inherit the family business in the future. Now he did not have the ability to spend a large amount of money at home.

Speaking of which, Lin Qiyuan now only has a few small shops he owns, and his annual income is not as much as Lin Miaofu's.

"This is my family's business after all. I can't even take one-tenth of the river section by myself."

Chen Jue looked at Lin Qiyuan with a look of hatred: "I usually see you as rich, but I didn't expect you to be poor."

Lin Qiyuan was speechless, it was normal for him to have no money!

"Okay, since it's your family's business, naturally you have to ask your uncle to make the decision." He looked at Lin Qiyuan with contempt: "It seems that you are the poorest one in your family."

In fact, there is no need to grab a spot and poke it. Lin Qiyuan was very angry, but he had to admit that what he said was right.

"Brother Qianjun, we are going to find Uncle Lin. Do you want to come with us?"

Gu Zhao looked out the window and shook his head: "You go ahead, I'll look around as I please."

Lin Qiyuan looked at Gu Zhao suspiciously, with a bit of scrutiny, and then said in a warning tone: "You are about to get married."

The implication is that even if he wants to have a private meeting with his sister, there is no rush for this moment.

Gu Zhao smiled and said, "Then I'd better sit here and wait for you."

"It's up to you." Lin Qiyuan nodded and said as if he was remembering something: "By the way, my second uncle's family also came two days ago..."

"...Why didn't you tell me before?" Chen Jue said dissatisfied.

He and Gu Zhao brought some ordinary things to the house, and they didn't even go to visit the elders yet. They looked like playboys and didn't understand etiquette.

Fortunately for him, he already has the title of Demon King. If Gu Zhao was looked down upon by the Lin family, wouldn't it be unfair?

"Aren't you here to find me? I forgot about it for a moment."

Lin Qiyuan said nonchalantly: "You don't need to take it to heart, I just remembered it and wanted to remind you."

Gu Zhao frowned subconsciously.

Even Chen Jue realized that this was unreasonable. How could Lin Qiyuan make such a low-level mistake?
"Oh, it's like this. Our family and my second uncle's family are not happy. So, what my father means is that if this relative sees my sister's wishes, if they are willing to recognize her, then they can associate with her. If they don't want to, just treat it as if they don't exist. "

Gu Zhao and Chen Jue were silent at the same time. No wonder they didn't remind them of this matter.

"So... why don't you start talking about it?"

He didn't want to talk about business at the moment, and Chen Jue didn't ask for his own sake, he wanted Gu Zhao to know.

"Chen Jue." Gu Zhao looked at Chen Jue with a hint of warning.

Lin Qiyuan felt that it was nothing to talk about, so he sat back again.

"It's okay to tell you. It's not my family's fault after all."

Of course, whether this is fair or unfair is a matter of course. "As the old saying goes, 'The younger son and the older grandson are the lifeblood of the old man.' My second uncle came from old age and was very popular with his grandfather. According to the rules passed down by our ancestors, the family's inheritance is inherited by capable people. It's not like In other families, the eldest son must inherit."

"At the beginning, the two of them took part of the errands and were in charge of each for five years. My father more than doubled the property at that time. Since my second uncle was ten years younger than my father, my grandfather sent his own capable steward to help. He Just go to Dian Mao every day, and you can still make a profit."

"However, my grandfather was partial and still designated his second uncle as the heir to the property. He was also worried that my father would be dissatisfied and suppressed him at every turn."

"Later, my father severed ties with my grandfather and went out on his own."

"At that time, many stewards followed my father, and my grandfather's business suffered a setback."

"Later, my grandfather died of illness, and my second uncle did not notify my father to go to the funeral. He also spread the word that it was my father who made my grandfather angry to death. At that time, many business partners heard about it and were unwilling to cooperate with my father."

"It was my uncle Xiao who found out the news and told my father in private, and then the misunderstanding was clarified."

"At that time, my second uncle had to sell out the family's ancestral business due to poor management. Only then did my father have the opportunity to take over all those things."

Chen Jue was dumbfounded and couldn't help but clicked his tongue: "It can be seen that no matter where it is, if the father cannot hold a bowl of water evenly, it will be the source of trouble for the family."

Obviously, he has some sympathy, and his current situation is similar to that of Uncle Lin back then.

It's just that others have the ability to break out of their own world, but I am imprisoned in a cage made of "love" and can only suffer.

Gu Zhao felt that this matter was not as simple as Lin Qiyuan said.

However, Father Lin is his father-in-law, and it has nothing to do with how miserable the others are.

"Then what are they doing here this time?"

"My cousin, he is going to take part in the college entrance examination this year and plans to stay at my house temporarily." Lin Qiyuan curled his lips and said, "However, my father has already rejected them. He said that we will only rent this house until the twelfth lunar month, and then we will rent it." Go back and let them find a place by themselves."

"Ah? But if you still live here in the twelfth lunar month, won't they come to cause trouble?"

"What are you afraid of?" Lin Qiyuan said nonchalantly: "They don't dare to make trouble. Now we still pay for their living."

"Originally, I didn't agree with my father continuing to subsidize them, but my father thought that they were brothers after all, and the money given to them was not a big amount for our family, so he supported them."

"Let me tell you, my uncle is confused. Isn't this the danger of raising a tiger?" Chen Jue said with hatred: "If his son passes the exam and becomes an official, won't he step on your family?"

"I'm still here, right?" Gu Zhao took a sip of tea and said with a normal expression, "I'm sorry they don't dare to do anything outrageous."

"That's what I advised my father at the time." Lin Qiyuan shook his head helplessly. It took him a while to realize what Gu Zhao said and looked at him in surprise.

Also surprised was Chen Jue.

Gu Zhao looked a little cold, and deep down he was alienated from people and things.

There are very few people who can really make him fall in love.

Lin Qiyuan coughed lightly, broke the silence, and said: "This matter is my family's scandal after all. You must not spread it outside."

Chen Jue rolled his eyes. He and Brother Qianjun were not talkative women, so why would they talk about these things everywhere?
"Tell me, if your second uncle knew that I wanted to get you to become a shareholder, would he also want to get involved?"
