Chapter 2132: Chapter 2132: He Is Now Called Song Le
Aunt Hong patted his head and nodded, "Hmm, that area really suffered. Those damned rebels disturbed the peace of the dead; arenât they afraid of retribution."
Oh, they indeed faced retribution. Didnât they die or get caught and exiled so quickly? None of them had a good ending.
"After the rebellion was quelled, we went up the mountain to find someone to repair the Hong Familyâs cemetery. I asked the Boss and Second Hong to also tidy up Dazhuangâs grave, but they completely ignored it, nobody was willing to do it. I raised Dazhuang myself, he lived a hard life, and if after death he still... how will I face the childâs father, how will I face Dazhuangâs mother in the future?"
Shu Yu understood pretty much at this point, "So, you spent your own money, and hired someone to refurbish his grave?"
Aunt Hong nodded, "Yes, didnât you all tell me that the enemies of the Song Family had already been found and are dead? Since thatâs the case, I moved Dazhuangâs grave to the Song Family, and buried him with his parents."
However, in doing so, not only did the Boss become aware that Aunt Hong still had money, but Second Hong and the youngest daughter also found out.
All of them wanted to scrape some money from Aunt Hongâs hands, but Aunt Hong had long seen their true colors. Once she gave them the money, it would be worthless later on, so she held on to it, making them try to please her.
Perhaps because all the children knew about it, they balanced each other out, and it didnât allow the Boss and his wife to easily extract money from Aunt Hong.
Aunt Hong also bluntly stated that she was penniless, that she had spent the last bit of money on fixing the grave. Therefore, when the Bossâs son and the Second daughterâs daughter fell ill, Aunt Hong remained indifferent, thinking that if the parents didnât care, what could an old lady like her do?
Eldest Hong repeated his old trick and searched the house again, but found nothing.
The more this happened, the more convinced they were that Aunt Hong had a large fortune in her hand.
Since then, their attitude changed drastically; the children became increasingly âfilialâ to Aunt Hong. The Second family, who rarely visited after the family split, often came with the children, and the daughter frequently visited her mother.
However, the more this happened, the more Aunt Hongâs heart turned cold.
She never expected that the children she painstakingly raised would turn out to be like this.
Aunt Hong said with a bitter smile, "You see, todayâs lively birthday feast is their display of âfilial pietyâ."
Shu Yu didnât know what to say for a moment. Sometimes people are just this realistic; if you have money, they treat you well, if not, youâre a burden.
Little Song Le held Aunt Hongâs hand, "Great Aunt, donât be sad, wait for me, when I grow up, I will truly be filial to you. Iâll study hard, earn a good name, and by then, Iâll take you with me."
Aunt Hong looked at the little one in front of her and felt very comforted.
"Alright, Great Aunt will wait for you to grow up."
As they talked, Ms. Yu had already brought Ruan and the sister-in-law in, placing the food on the table.
As soon as they came in, they saw Aunt Hong with red eyes, and immediately comforted her, "Mother, on such a wonderful day, cheer up, look at Gouwa, how well heâs doing now?"
Then she said to Shu Yu, "Lady Lu, my mother, has always been thinking about Gouwa all these years; she loves him the most."
Shu Yu raised her eyes to look at her and smiled, "Heâs called Song Le now."
