Tao Liangchen
Chapter 113 Grandpa's Bribe
Another familiar life guidance lesson, once again lasting a long time.
As long as Nong Qingying wasn't mentioned, Su Yehao had plenty of patience, politely flattering his mother first.
From the start, Su Yehao understood.
His mother came to interrogate him; otherwise, how would she know that Nong Qingying had moved out?
While feeling a bit scared, he also felt helpless.
As the young master of the Su family, he represented the image of the Su and Tang families externally and had to be careful.
He had often heard people say that in some wealthy families, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't get along, or there were constant conflicts. Now that it was happening to him, the feeling wasn't good.
Mentally, as an adult, being strongly supervised and interfered with by his parents always felt awkward. He still suffered from being too young. However, in terms of running a business and handling interpersonal relationships, he could undoubtedly learn a lot from his mother.
After sitting and chatting for over an hour.
After thinking it over.
Su Yehao finally chose to bring the topic back to Nong Qingying.
He only mentioned that he accidentally heard her chatting with a man at the club, including hooking fingers, fake marriage, and giving hush money, etc., all mentioned in a vague and allusive way, purely as an amusing story for his mother.
To avoid a hidden mine being buried too deep, in case it explodes someday.
Immediately afterward.
Mother Tang looked at him strangely and said with emotion, "You pay so much attention to her, and you still say it's nothing?"
There was no choice, saying more would lead to more mistakes, and he had to defuse the situation.
Su Yehao replied shamelessly:
"There's no helping it, I'm young, I just think she might not be as bad as you and Aunt Hua think, she's a pretty good person. Now that Miss Nong has left, I have no chance, you don't have to worry at all… Recently I've been in contact with Jiang Yu a few times. Last time she had a fever, I took her to the infirmary. I heard she's planning to apply to Hong Kong University?"
Women, magical creatures.
Sure enough.
Finding new gossip, Mother Tang was immediately distracted.
This girl from Jiang Shiye's family was someone she watched grow up, and she had a lot of affection for her, immediately inquiring about the relationship between the two.
Before she knew it, her son had grown into a young man.
Handsome, smart, articulate, and with a good family background, it would be strange if there weren't women around him. As long as the girl was good enough, Mother Tang didn't mind dating or anything like that. She had even planned to arrange a marriage with the Zhao family last time.
In Casino, local residents over the age of sixteen can get married with their parents' permission, and the ideas are relatively open-minded.
Mother Su Yehao had nothing to do.
She was worried that all the good girls would be taken, and had already begun to consider this matter...
A little after eleven o'clock in the morning.
Mother Tang asked Su Yehao to drive her to Bishop's Hill.
Accidentally learning that the Third Mistress had left, Mother Su Yehao chuckled and didn't care at all, only saying that the woman was petty and annoying to see.
Passing by the entrance of the Su family mansion.
The Second Mistress was still at home, and Mother Tang wouldn't go there if she didn't have to. Apart from Su Yehao, that home no longer had anything that she missed.
When they arrived in front of an old house, Su Yehao realized that it was for business.
Grandpa Tang had worked hard to collect a set of seals passed down from his ancestors. He had found three of the four seals, and today he was here to buy back the last one.
Just ordinary jade seals, and the price wasn't too high.
Back then, Tang's ancestor was a shopkeeper, and when he retired, his master carved it for him himself.
When Grandpa Tang was young, he was playful and secretly sold the precious seal of Su Yehao's great-grandfather. He only regretted it in his old age and wanted to find it back, that was all.
Compared to this matter, the news that Su Yehao cared more about was that his maternal grandfather wanted to meet him and give him a house.
Located on Big Wave Bay Road in Hong Kong.
According to Mother Tang, the land was bought for more than three million seven or eight years ago, but construction didn't begin until nine years ago.
After it was completed two years ago, no one had lived in it.
The only requirement was to promise that any son born must be named Tang.
Hearing this, Su Yehao blinked, thinking, what's the difference between this and giving him a house for free?
Moreover… wouldn't he be able to continue mortgaging it for a loan?
…
"So… as long as I promise Grandpa that any future son will be named Tang, that house will be mine?"
Su Yehao's tone was a bit surprised.
The older generation's obsession with carrying on the family line is truly… wonderful.
"Yes, I've been there a few times, the lawn is very big, and your aunt was in charge of the entire decoration. Her taste is fine. The money for buying the land was cheap, and construction plus decoration cost more than seventy million in total."
To avoid seeming biased and making some narrow-minded old man furious, Mother Tang specifically reminded him:
"This kind of thing is more sensitive, you'd better go home and discuss it with your father."
"No need!"
Su Yehao raised his hand, righteously saying: "I used to be named Tang, I have a responsibility to carry on the family line, the house on Big Wave Bay Road doesn't matter, I just want to fulfill Grandpa's dream!"
"Tsk…"
His mother was speechless, exposing him: "You're clearly eyeing that house."
"We're family, why are you being so formal? Be careful I'll complain to Grandpa about you."
Having just found his mother's weakness, Su Yehao immediately became arrogant. While looking at the house in front of him, he asked: "I'm the only one in the family, could it be hereditary? Then shouldn't I find you a few more daughters-in-law to increase the probability of having a son?"
While speaking.
Su Yehao suddenly thought that if Nong Qingying were to have a boy, and he specifically requested that the child be named Tang in the future… wouldn't that be a get-out-of-jail-free card?
With Grandpa's protection, would he still have to worry about his mother interfering?
His business skills were mediocre, but when it came to these little tricks, Su Yehao was quite clever. He secretly praised himself for being such a clever little devil.
Mother Tang suddenly realized that her son had really changed a lot.
He clearly wasn't this shameless before.
She once again blamed a certain old man, he must have corrupted the child.
Mother Su Yehao explained: "You don't have to worry, your father used to be in the building materials business, and he arranged the office next to the warehouse. You came first, and it was difficult to have more children later. It's also good, one child can be raised with care. The Second Mistress wanted to try in vitro fertilization in her early years, but your father felt sorry for me and didn't agree."
Warehouses storing building materials have various harmful gases mixed in, and the harm to the human body should not be underestimated.
This old story explained the question of why Su was the only one.
Su Yehao nodded in realization.
Finding that his mother didn't respond to the "find a few more daughters-in-law" comment, he guessed that she probably still had some resentment.
They had a good relationship to begin with.
Adding concubines again and again, Mother had already been lenient by not making a fuss over Father Su.
Therefore.
Su Yehao didn't mention it any further and walked into the house first.
Anyway, he could get a house by changing his surname. A son is still a son, he wasn't selling his own child.
Even if his father objected, it wouldn't matter. Su Yehao took the lead in agreeing and started looking forward to seeing his grandfather when he had time.
You can never have too many such generous relatives.
Big Wave Bay Road is no worse than Repulse Bay, and the people who live there are either rich or powerful…
