Auntie Ren's brother was called Ren Hongde. He was the child of gramps Ren before he left to roam the world and made friends through martial arts. (The older generation believed that only after completing the mission of carrying on the family line can you go out and spar with people. Even if you die, people will burn joss paper).
Since gramps Ren returned home 20 years later and gave birth to Auntie Ren with his wife, Auntie Ren was 20 years younger than her brother. It was no longer an age gap between siblings.
Ren Hongde didn't have his father by his side when he was young. When he grew older, there were rumors that gramps Ren was killed while roaming the world. Plus, gramps Ren had a younger brother who wanted to take advantage of the situation to steal his brother's and sister-in-law's property, so he grew up under a lot of pressure.
As the saying goes "children of poor people take charge early", "no one can stop a hoodlum who knows martial arts". Although Ren Hongde's family wasn't poor, he wasn't a hoodlum, and he didn't know martial arts (no one taught him), he still helped his mother support the family.
Ren Hongde didn't know martial arts because his father hadn't returned from roaming the world, and his uncle had ulterior motives and refused to teach him martial arts. But truthfully speaking, he didn't have the talent to practice martial arts.
But he did have the talent to run a business.
From a private school student to a public school lecturer, from a public school lecturer to the chairman of QingZi Education Corporation, Ren Hongde, who was almost 60 years old, accomplished a business miracle that would take several generations to accomplish.
Gramps Ren commented on his son's success in the education industry: "Not doing proper work."
What do you mean by not doing proper work? Is studying the family's secret techniques, defeating his uncle with ulterior motives, and taking back the dojo considered proper work? Gramps Ren, do you think your son is Simba the Lion King?
Ren Hongde took on a large role in the family at a young age, so he always had a serious expression and could be described as unsmiling.
Ever since his father's life or death was unknown, he struggled to support the family business. This caused him to be busy with business and married late. That's why his son was only in his second year of university when he was almost 60 years old.
A workaholic would inevitably neglect his family. Ren Hongde was the chairman of QingZi Education Corporation, a chain of educational institutions that had branches in 36 cities across the country, but his son had problems with his education.
It was said that he played LOL until late at night and got a Pentakill in the qualifiers. He even forgot to eat. Even though he was a second-generation rich kid, he wasn't focused on picking up girls like other second-generation rich kids. Instead, he was focused on building a professional LOL team and trying to get a good ranking in the domestic and international scene!
It's because of his father's strong opposition and he didn't give him any funds, so he couldn't form his own team and wanted to be the captain of Ai Mi's team.
Seriously addicted! He needed electrotherapy! He had to squat in the bushes to think! The genes given to him by his parents were originally not bad, but because he was too much of a homebody, both his arms were fat, his eyebrows were half bald, his eyes were dull, and his belly was protruding. He was completely in a sub-healthy state!
It seemed that Ren Hongde's weather-beaten face and graying hair were not just the result of running the corporation.
Generally speaking, due to his profession, Ren Hongde looked much more mature and rigid than his father, who was in his eighties.
Since gramps Ren had the personality of an old urchin, he was very unreliable, so Ren Hongde always treated Auntie Ren like a brother and father to Auntie Ren, who was twenty years younger than him.
The good thing was that he took care of his sister, but the bad thing was that he often lectured Auntie Ren like an elder, which caused Auntie Ren to have a rebellious mentality.
During the flash marriage between Auntie Ren and Huo ZhenBang in Hong Kong, Ren Hongde and gramps Ren both opposed it. In the end, Huo ZhenBang didn't change his dissolute nature after getting married, which proved that they were right.
But Auntie Ren, who brought Xiao Qin back to the continent by herself, felt like her father and brother were waiting for her to lower her head and admit her wrongs.
Auntie Ren was so proud that she wouldn't lower her head to her father and brother even if she made the wrong choice. Thus, a long cold war began.
After Huo ZhenBang was caught cheating, Auntie Ren beat him up and didn't ask for a single cent of his assets during the divorce. She didn't even ask for Xiao Qin's child support to show her determination to break up. She told Huo ZhenBang: This daughter has nothing to do with you, you don't need to raise her, and you're not allowed to visit her.
That's why Auntie Ren was struggling financially when she first returned to the mainland. She had no choice but to live in an old house in the courtyard and become my dad's and my neighbor.
Now that I think about it, I think I met Ren Hongde when I was a child. He was an older man with a stern face. He had come to the courtyard to look for Auntie Ren and I could faintly hear Auntie Ren yelling at him:
"I don't need your money! I can raise my daughter myself! "
Because of the age gap, I always thought he was Auntie Ren's father, but I never thought he was her brother.
As for gramps Ren, he never came to the courtyard, so it could be seen that their relationship was quite strained.
As Xiao Qin gradually grew up and showed great talent in martial arts, gramps Ren used the excuse of teaching his granddaughter martial arts to gradually improve their relationship.
But he still urged Auntie Ren to find a suitable person to marry as soon as they met to put an end to Huo ZhenBang's thoughts of remarrying.
He also told Ren Hongde to use his connections to find a suitable marriage partner for Auntie Ren, as if Auntie Ren was in a hurry to get married.
How deep was the generation gap between a brother who was 20 years older and a father who was 40 years older? Although Auntie Ren knew the other party was a family she could completely trust, unless it was a festive occasion, they would definitely fight whenever Auntie Ren's marriage was mentioned (whether it was in the past or now).
Auntie Ren was hospitalized in a car accident, so it was impossible for his father and brother not to visit her. Also, Ren Hongde also found out from gramps Ren that his sister's car accident was a small matter, it was mainly because she suffered from a miscarriage.
Unlike gramps Ren, Ren Hongde did not rub sand in his eyes. When he heard his sister's daughter was chasing a boy, he even investigated my background.
Now, he also knew that my father, Ye YuanFeng, who was currently taking care of Auntie Ren, was the father of Auntie Ren's miscarriage.
That's why he looked at me with a complicated gaze.
"Dad." Ren Hongde ignored me for the time being. He called out to gramps Ren, "Let's go see Hong Li. I know you're too embarrassed to go in. "
"Who's embarrassed to go in?" Gramps Ren's voice suddenly raised an octave, "I'm her father, why would I be embarrassed to see her? Listen up, Hong Li finally has another man by her side after so many years, so we have to force her to get married! Marrying anyone is better than remarrying Huo ZhenBang! "
Ren Hongde felt it was not appropriate to say this in front of me, so he gave his father a look, but gramps Ren did not understand.
"Wait a bit, go do Hong Li's work. Compared to me, she still listens to you more. As for me, I'll do Ye Lin's father's work. If he dares play with my daughter and still doesn't marry her, I'll kill him … "
"Hey!" I quickly shouted from behind, "Master, don't say you're going to kill my dad in front of me! It's not good for the growth of young children! "
Ren Hongde frowned, "Dad, you accepted him as your last disciple?"
"What? If you don't learn martial arts, you won't let me teach others! " Gramps Ren rolled his eyes at his son, then said to me: "Don't worry, I was just saying it casually. It seems like your father is an honest person. As long as he's willing to marry my daughter, I won't kill him!"
Ren Hongde muttered: "Dad, you can't be too hasty with these things …"
"Still not hasty?" Gramps Ren slapped his thigh, "A girl is like water that's been poured out. I'll only feel at ease if she gets married while there's still someone who wants her! I'm already so old! I won't be able to rest in peace if Hong Li lives alone! "
I reckon Ren Hongde was also a sis-con for many years, so he was very unhappy when he heard gramps Ren say that.
"Dad, you're going too far. There have been colleagues in the film industry who pursued Hong Li over the years, but Hong Li was too deeply hurt because of Huo ZhenBang, so she didn't agree."
Gramps Ren was angry, "Damn it, Huo ZhenBang was in the film industry! There isn't a single good person in the film industry! Men are thieves, women are prostitutes, and they're part of the underworld! They even randomly shoot wuxia movies, making everyone think that Fa Jin and Hua Jin are only available in Taiji Fist … "
Damn, Gramps Ren, just how much resentment do you have towards Taiji Fist! Is it because the current leader of Taiji Fist is here, and you want to PK him in real life!
Ren Hongde sternly said: "Dad, you said that men are thieves and women are prostitutes in the film industry. Does Hong Li not count as a person in the film industry now that she's a martial arts director?"
"That …" Grandpa Ren had unintentionally scolded his own daughter. He was embarrassed, and his face turned red.
Ren Peng stood on the side for a long time. Seeing his father and grandfather talking endlessly, his legs were a bit numb since he hadn't exercised for a long time.
Thus, he opened his mouth and said: "Hey, when are we going to visit aunt?"
"Now." Ren Hongde replied.
"Mhmm, now." Gramps Ren also said.
Ren Peng scratched his head, "That … does Xiao Qin not know what you two are talking about? Later, you guys will directly force aunt to marry … that Ye guy. Can Xiao Qin accept that? "
"That's true." Gramps Ren nodded, "We have to find an excuse to send Xiao Qin away when we go in to see Hong Li."
"Don't we have an excuse right in front of us?" Ren Peng staggered two steps closer to me. We had met before because of Ai Mi's LOL team, so he must have learned more about my identity from Ren Hongde.
"Ye Lin, I heard you're Xiao Qin's boyfriend?"
The LOL god, 'Prince of the Bushes' Ren Peng looked at me with a mischievous expression.
I didn't know how to answer this question in front of so many of Xiao Qin's family members, so I could only say: "I, I'm not really her boyfriend, but we have a pretty good relationship. We were neighbors when we were young, so we can be considered childhood friends …"
"Childhood friends?" Ren Peng made a strange expression, "You were able to live until now if you played with her when you were young?"
