The Second Wife of a Rich Old Man 61
His child was now two months old. Luo Xiu took time out of his busy schedule to bring Meng Yang and his child back to his hometown to worship their ancestors. He wanted to let his father know that his real eldest grandson had been born. Another thing was that the child's name should also be added to the Family Luo's family tree. Luo Sheng's name was also removed from the family tree.
Luo Xiu went back to his hometown to worship their ancestors once every three years. His uncles, uncles, cousins, and his three younger brothers went back to their hometown to worship their ancestors every year, wantonly planning to show off their wealth.
Before Luo Xiu took Meng Yang and his child back to his hometown, he asked his assistant to inform the people guarding the Family Luo's ancestral home to prepare and arrange for the child's two months old birthday and worship their ancestors.
Sitting in the car, Luo Xiu and Meng Yang talked about the Family Luo's past.
"My father is the second son. He has an elder brother. I heard that my eldest uncle is very similar to my grandfather. He is talented, smart, and capable. My grandfather also carefully cultivated him and had great expectations. Unfortunately, not long after my cousin was born, my eldest uncle died of cancer. My grandfather lost his eldest son, who he had high hopes for, and fell ill. Later, he barely held on for a few years, wanting to train my father again. Unfortunately, compared to my uncle, my father was much more slow-witted. But among my grandfather's remaining sons, only my father could be considered a little capable. So after my grandfather passed away, my father took over the Luo family's business. "
"If my eldest uncle was still alive, the Family Luo business would not be faced with the situation of being trampled by the Family Cheng. You also wouldn't have to struggle so hard." Meng Yang felt pity in his heart.
"A long time ago, I occasionally visited some of my grandfather's old friends. They also said that I was like my grandfather. If I was born more than ten years earlier, I would have been personally cultivated by my grandfather. Then I would certainly have great achievements."
"If you were born more than ten years earlier, you would be in your fifties now. Then, wouldn't we have changed from an uncle-niece relationship to a grandfather-grandchild relationship?" Meng Yang said with a smile.
Hearing this, Luo Xiu couldn't help but laugh. Then he continued, "My parents met each other when they were studying. They fell in love and got married. My mother personally thought that most of the men in the world were not as good as her because she had read some books. In fact, she was only a little smart, but she didn't have great wisdom. However, she liked to make decisions about everything. In addition to her beautiful face, her temper was extremely bad. Only my father could stand her. My father could be considered to have truly fallen in love with her. The fact that the Family Luo business could be maintained for so many years in their hands is all thanks to their family's wealth. "
"I've met my mother's lover a few times. I thought it would be good to have someone to accompany her for the rest of her life. I'm not short of money anyway, and it's enough for her to enjoy. But she's old and wants to force me, so I can only break off this mother-son relationship."
Meng Yang leaned into Luo Xiu's arms and hugged him silently to comfort him. The hurt between parents and children was the most painful thing. As a child, from the moment he decided to take revenge on his parents, it was already a double-edged sword. One side hurt the other side, and the other side hurt himself. He deeply understood this point.
Luo Xiu's uncles, cousins, and younger brothers knew that Luo Xiu was going to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors. They immediately returned to the ancestral home three or four days in advance to help Luo Xiu prepare. After Luo Xiu's car entered the town, they sent people from the town entrance to welcome them outside the Family Luo Mansion. This attracted a lot of townspeople to come and watch.
Meng Yang looked out of the car window. There was flowing water under the quaint stone bridge. Occasionally, one or two boats could be seen on the water. There were drooping willow trees on the wide bluestone road. On both sides of the road were rows of old houses. Meng Yang had the illusion that he had entered an ink painting. It was as if time had stopped here. Everything had an ancient and elegant appearance.
The car stopped outside the Family Luo Mansion. Luo Xiu's peers and all the juniors came out to welcome them. There were also many townspeople who came to watch. Although they were blocked by the helpers, they all tiptoed and stretched their heads out to see the legendary Family Luo's head and wife.
The bodyguards got out of the car first and guarded outside Luo Xiu and Meng Yang's car. Then, they opened the door.
The child was sleeping soundly in the baby blue. Because the temperature outside was still very low, Meng Yang covered the child with a thick quilt before getting out of the car.
Luo Xiu got out of the car first. Meng Yang covered the baby blue and handed it to Luo Xiu. Luo Xiu took the baby blue out of the car and handed it to the nanny. Then, he reached out to help Meng Yang get out of the car.
Luo Xiu's cousin, Luo Xiu, as the representative, came forward to talk to Luo Xiu: "How was the journey?"
"Fortunately, the journey was smooth." Luo Xiu said faintly. Then, he turned around and helped Meng Yang tidy up his scarf and windbreaker.
"All the preparations and arrangements for the child's double full moon birthday and ancestral worship have been made. Do you want to have dinner first? Or do you want to see if the arrangements are appropriate and if there is anything that needs to be changed? "Luo Hong said.
"Are you hungry?" Luo Xiu looked at Meng Yang and asked.
"Not very hungry." Meng Yang shook his head.
"Sit for a while first, then look around." Luo Xiu said. Then, he held Meng Yang's hand and slowly walked inside.
Meng Yang looked up at the big horizontal board above. The two words "Luo Residence" were written on it. The open wooden door looked heavy and imposing.
Meng Yang looked at the courtyard and the house while walking. He thought that this was the real Family Luo's ancestral home. And the financial strength of the Family Luo could be seen from this big and deep house.
Luo Xiu's uncles and uncles were already waiting in the main hall.
After entering the main hall, there was a large carved bed and a small table in the middle. Luo Xiu sat in the main seat. Meng Yang sat beside him. Luo Xiu's father inherited this house from his grandfather. Luo Xiu also inherited this house from his father. He was the head of the family and the head of this big house. His several uncles could only sit below.
A well-dressed middle-aged woman came in with a smile on her face. Behind her were several servants carrying trays. She directed the servants to put the tea and snacks on the short table. Then, she said to Meng Yang with a smile, "These are some local specialties. I don't know if you are used to them. Just treat it as a new taste."
"Thank you." Meng Yang smiled and thanked her. Because he didn't know how to address this woman, he turned his head to look at Luo Xiu.
"This is Aunt Huang." Luo Xiu said.
"Aunt Huang." Meng Yang called. On the way here, Luo Xiu told him that this Aunt Huang was the person who took care of him when he was young.
"Oh, okay." Aunt Huang smiled and then walked out of the hall with the servants.
Luo Xiu's uncles and his cousins were saying some pleasantries, some of which were complaining and trying to curry favor with him. Meng Yang listened to them talk while taking small bites of the tea and snacks. The light sweetness was not greasy. It was in line with his light taste.
Luo Xiu relied on the real estate business to make a comeback. Then, he slowly expanded his business and entered various fields. The original Family Luo business was now inferior to many of his branch companies. But the people sitting in the hall relied on those businesses to live. Seeing that Luo Xiu was about to give up the Family Luo business, these people were so anxious that they couldn't sleep well.
