Republic of China small businessman

Xie Siquan casually put the teacup in his hand, looked up at him, "You remember clearly."

"Isn't it always like this every year?" He Dongting knew that his brother-in-law has always had a bad temper, so he just followed suit and refilled the tea for him: "Shuwei went to school today, so I'll send someone to call him back. You haven't seen him in half a year." Let's meet him, let's talk."

Xie Siquan didn't take the cup of tea, straightened his sleeves and said lazily: "Forget it, it's fine if you're not here, I'll open the skylight to speak honestly and ask you a few things."

"You said."

"I have received a few more letters recently, all of which were mailed from outside, saying that there are new clues."

He Dongting said lightly: "There are already too many such letters."

"Yes, but it's different this time." Xie Siquan asked: "When the child was brought back, he was already three years old. He was brought back by a wet nurse who was serving by Sister's side, right?"

He Dongting nodded and said: "Yes, Yuan Yuan picked two wet nurses for the child, and one of them carried her back."

Xie Siquan: "She also said that Baobao died?"

He Dongting frowned slightly, and said: "I don't know whether she is alive or dead. I heard that someone saw her going to the northwest, and found a few gold hairpins of Yuan Yuan along the way. The gold hairpins are real, but people can't find them no matter what. There are no results for so many years." He sighed, and then said, "Aren't you doing business in Tonghanzhong area these few years? If you are familiar with their caravan, please help them find it."

Xie Siquan scoffed: "Your son has been found, why are you looking for Baobao?"

He Dongting was silent for a moment, and said: "Yuan Yuan has gone, I have to give her an explanation."

He checked a lot about what happened back then.

Back then, he had escaped death at sea, and finally came back alive, only to hear the sad news that his wife and children had left.His Yuan Yuan left, and took most of his life with him. If he hadn't found the child Yuan Yuan gave him, he might not be able to survive.Some people said back then that the maid by his wife's side took the money and ran away, but he didn't believe it, but he still tried his best to find it all these years, hoping to hear what was going on from her.

Why in the end, the family was ruined overnight.

Xie Siquan said: "What if I say that someone found Baobao?"

"Have you found your person?" He Dongting's pupils shrank, stood up and asked, "Where is Aunt Kou?"

"I haven't found it yet, it just looks like it, and the letter is not very clear. I have asked people to follow up to check." Xie Siquan looked at He Dongting, "I thought you were guarding your son and didn't care about other things."

"You know my heart for her, why bother to torture me."

"I didn't want to torture you," Xie Siquan closed his eyes, slowly opened them and said, "I just think you are stupid, and you have raised such an idiot."

He Dongting frowned, his expression was a little bad.

Xie Siquan sneered: "For so many years, you have never doubted? How much is this son you raise by your side real or fake? He still looks a little like him when he was young, but he is not half like Sister when he grows up. , don’t talk about appearance, just talk about his studies, you have put in so much effort, you can see a little improvement? Not like sister, nor like you, not even half smart.”

He Dongting said: "He hurt his bones when he was young, and suffered a lot when he was living outside. He is indeed not as good as ordinary people."

Xie Siquan scoffed, "I'm afraid it hurt my brain."

He Dongting was displeased, frowned and whispered: "You shouldn't say that, anyway, you are also an elder."

Xie Siquan shook his head there, "Why don't we make a bet, I bet you will regret it."

He Dongting was tough on the outside, but he was really helpless towards his wife and brother, so he could only soften his attitude and said: "I know that Shuwei is not close to you on weekdays, yes, it is my fault, it is my whole heart to keep him by my side and not let him I went to Xichuan, but he often fell ill, so I was really worried when I went to Xichuan. This kid is not in good health, and he doesn’t have much contact with outsiders. Why don’t I let him accompany you around when you come to Shanghai this time..."

Xie Siquan got up, flicked his jersey and said, "I told you, I didn't come to see him, you take me to the Buddhist hall, and I'll pay homage to my sister."

There is a small Buddhist hall in He's house, and people were invited to chant scriptures, and the tablet for offering said "Dead Wife Xie Yuan".

The place is quiet and quiet, and the repairs are inconspicuous, but the materials are luxurious everywhere, and the seven treasures of the Buddhist family are enshrined, only for the deceased to find a pure land.There are people chanting scriptures inside, and people guarding outside, very few people can come in to disturb.

He Dongting took Xie Siquan in, saw the other party offering incense and offering sacrifices, his eyes fell on Patriarch Xie for a moment, Xie Siquan, who is so flamboyant, was wearing plain clothes today, he should have thought of the other party as soon as he saw him. , He came to pay homage to his sister.

Xie Siquan carefully finished the incense, stood there watching for a while, stretched out his hand to gently wipe off a little incense ash on the tablet, not afraid of it at all.

He stood there and said: "Sister, I received a letter from Baobao. I know what you want to say to me. Don't worry, I will listen to you." He started to fight, how could he embarrass sister.

After the worship, He Dongting didn't leave, he followed him hesitantly, and finally stopped: "Siquan, did your sister leave you a letter? What did Aunt Kou tell you, Yuan Yuan... ...did she mention me at the end?"

Xie Siquan said: "Don't you believe it?"

He Dongting was stunned, and after a while he said helplessly: "We have quarreled countless times over the years about Shuwei, and some people raised questions back then, didn't you bring Shuwei into the He family?"

When Xie Siquan heard this, he felt unhappy, stepped forward and shoved his shoulder with his hands, and said angrily: "That's because your He family is rude, I don't care who it is, I can't bully sister or her children!" Regardless of whether the child is real or not, those things that should be sisters cannot be missed.

"Let's not talk about it." He Dongting was also a little anxious. This kind of emotion is rarely seen in him. He was completely attracted by the letter, and his eyes turned red, "You beg me, Yuan Yuan finally, Did you leave any words? If I can do it, just say it, I want to do something for her. "

Xie Siquan looked at him for a while and his face softened a little, took an invitation card to him and said: "You have a bit of conscience for sister, as for what was said in the letter, I can't tell for a while, tomorrow In the evening, I invite you to dinner, let's talk slowly when the time comes."

He Dongting accepted the post: "I will be there on time tomorrow night."

Xie Siquan waved his hand and walked away slowly.

When passing by the outer courtyard, the third master of the He family just came back and saw Xie Siquan walking towards him with a few of his subordinates. He turned around and walked out in fright. Anyway, it escaped.

Xie Siquan swaggered out of He's house, got into the car and left.

There are two young men guarding the gate of the He mansion. There is a newcomer who was a little confused for a moment. This third master of the He family is the younger brother of the mother of He Dongting, the boss of the mansion. The third master likes to gamble. Money is tight or he is outside It is not uncommon for people who owe gambling debts to come to the mansion to play in the autumn wind. They rely on their status to boss them around on weekdays, and they have never seen such a time when they hide out in such a mess.The servant asked in a low voice: "Hey, who was that person who came out of the mansion just now? He was so arrogant that even the third master was afraid of being like that. Could it be that he came to the mansion to collect gambling money?"

Another servant hurriedly covered his mouth, and yelled in a low voice: "Don't kill you! Here, especially when you see Patriarch Xie, you can't say such a thing. Didn't you see the third master and run away?"

"Thank you, Patriarch?"

"Yes, the Xie family in Xichuan Shangcheng, that is, the uncle of our young master!"

"But why is that? Is this Xichuan Xie family really so powerful?"

"More than that, the third master just said something at the beginning, saying that Xichuan Xie's family was able to get up because of the glory of the He family, and they got the boat to get their current wealth. Then, the owner of the Xie family was unhappy, and it was the same. He said with a smile Say 'OK', and without further ado, someone smashed He's house."

"Well, doesn't our master care about this?" The new boy stood in place in shock. He Dongting, the big boss, is also a well-known person in the Shanghai stock market after all, so it's not an exaggeration to stomp his feet to make three shocks.

"Just smashed it in front of the master!"

The boy was taken aback, he really didn't dare to look around and ask questions, he became more disciplined for a while.

The third master of the He family is about in his early 40s, with a mustache on his lips. He ran a few steps faster, sweating on his forehead, stopped by the wall and coughed a few times, his heart is still flustered, seeing Xie Siquan Like a mouse seeing a cat, its hands and feet tremble.Xichuan Shangcheng Xie's family and Shanghai He's family, although they are not sworn enemies, they are always rude when they meet.

The third master of the He family panted and asked the boy: "He, did he catch up?"

The young man looked back and said honestly: "No, third master, Master Xie is gone, it looks like he is going to the front along the main street."

The third master of the He family heaved a sigh of relief.

But he doesn't dare to go to He Dongting's place now, his elder brother is an infatuated kind, and Xie Siquan from the Xie family is also a lunatic, as long as the two of them get together every year, they will definitely go to worship. Be patient with Xie Siquan and He Shuwei, others are going now, let alone asking for a few silver dollars, they will definitely be scolded bloody when they meet.

He Sanye was impatient, but there was nothing he could do.

Thinking in my heart, I'd better go to He Shuwei and get two money from him for emergency. His eldest brother He Dongting attaches great importance to his only son. Although Xie Siquan didn't say anything, he would come to Shanghai Stock Exchange every year to celebrate his nephew's birthday—if he hadn't found him later For this lost child, Xie Siquan might have turned against the He family.

In the evening, He Shuwei came back from school.

After changing his clothes, he went to his father, He Dongting, and asked the servant beside him what his father did today.The servant whispered: "Master, the master is almost the same as usual, and only saw a guest once in the morning."

He Shuwei was curious and asked, "Who's here?"

The servant said: "Uncle is here."

He Shuwei snorted, and then thought of his own birthday, only when Xie Siquan came from Xichuan to celebrate his birthday, this year came early.He said casually: "Let the kitchen cook a few more dishes. Spicy ones are the best. Don't go out at night, just eat at home. By the way, where is uncle now?"

The servant hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Well, uncle has already left."

He Shuwei frowned, but he didn't think about himself for a moment. After thinking about it, he asked, "Is he arguing with his father again?"

"Little I don't know."

He Shuwei waved him to go down, and went into the room to find He Dongting.

He Dongting was talking on the phone, and he was quite busy even at home. He Shuwei stood quietly aside, listening as if he was discussing the election of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce.It wasn't until He Dongting hung up the phone that he stepped forward to say hello, eager to say: "Father, I also found out from my classmates about the election of the National General Chamber of Commerce that his father works in the financial department..."

But He Dongting didn't care much about these, and said to him: "You don't need to worry about these, just focus on your studies."

He Shuwei hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes, the son just wants to help his father and share his worries."

He Dongting rubbed his brows, and said: "You came just in time, I have something to discuss with you, this afternoon your teacher from the university came to me and said that your knowledge is not very good, instead of wasting time on it, you should turn to Go to join the army. There is a military academy that is recruiting people, I thought, going to a military academy is not bad, after a few years of experience, it will be useful for your future development, what do you think?"

He Shuwei was at a loss for what to do. He really didn't understand He Dongting's intentions, but he didn't dare to refute clearly, so he could only whisper: "Father, I may not be able to do it in the army. You also know that I am weak and sick. I am afraid that I will hurt everyone. Father's face."

He Dongting shook his head and said: "You can just take care of yourself, there are civilian jobs in the army, after a few years... Forget it, if you don't want to, then think about other things."

He Shuwei agreed, and stood there with a pale face, looking very weak.

Seeing his expression, He Dongting told him to go down and rest.

After the people left, the room fell silent.

He Dongting took off the glasses on the bridge of his nose, closed his eyes and rested.He didn't know who this kid Shuwei was like. He couldn't succeed in writing, he couldn't do martial arts, and he didn't have a long-term vision, so he was still somewhat obedient and had some merits.

He sighed unconsciously.

On the other side, Xie Siquan finished the work at hand, seized the time, and went to the White House.Before Jiu Ye had time to prepare the greeting card, Xi Chuan, the head of the Xie family, came to the door in person.

Master Jiu asked someone to invite the other party in, but due to his haste, he didn't go anywhere else, and received him directly in the study.

Xie Siquan looks very similar to Xie Jing, but he is more reckless. Master Nine treats him with courtesy. When he saw him, he was about to stand up when he saw the Master Xie dragging a carved chair over and sat down. While putting his feet on the table in front of him rudely.

Master Jiu looked at the two leather boots on the table, paused slightly, and sat back down again.
