Two generations of military wives compete for time

Aunt Chen Mengwei, led by her father Chen Haoyu, came to the Chen Mansion. She walked, looked, and listened to her father telling about the history of the Chen Mansion, its past and present.

It tells a touching story about Chen Haoyu's father, Chen Mengwei's grandfather, who waited in the Chen Mansion for a long time in order to find his lost daughter Chen Yalu, but eventually passed away with regret.

It tells the story of how Uncle Chen Haoyu continued to stay in the Chen Mansion in order to fulfill his father's last wish, and how he found his sister Chen Yalu.

Chen Mengwei came to the ancient Chen Mansion and listened to her father Chen Haoyu's story. She deeply felt the atmosphere of her ancestors living and struggling here. She gradually understood why her father Chen Haoyu had lived in the Chen Mansion for so many years.

Her father, Chen Haoyu, had asked Chen Mengwei to come and see the ancient Chen Mansion many times, but Chen Mengwei refused many times: "What's so good about it? It's just an ancient house. I won't go."

"Dad, you should stop living in the old house. You are old. The living conditions in Hong Kong are many times better than those in the old Chen Mansion. If you get sick or suffer a disaster, how can my brothers and I take care of you in time?"

"I like the Chen Mansion. I'm used to living here."

Chen Haoyu and his daughter Chen Mengwei have been deadlocked for decades, each holding their own opinions.

However, the first time she stepped into the ancient Chen Mansion today left Chen Mengwei with a different feeling. She walked through the ancient Chen Mansion and silently talked with the ancients and predecessors.

Grandpa and father's perseverance finally saw the return of aunt Chen Yalu. Chen Mengwei couldn't hold back her tears and cried, "Dad, I'm sorry. I have wronged you all these years."

My cousin Chen Mengwei was born and raised in Hong Kong. She has been strong-willed since childhood. When she founded a textile trading company, my uncle Chen Haoyu was not optimistic about her project and did not give her financial support. Instead, he increased the financial support for his brother Chen Jinting's machinery trading company. My cousin Chen Mengwei was strongly dissatisfied with her father's approach and basically cut off communication and contacts with her father.

My cousin Chen Mengwei worked hard and just when her textile trading company was starting to take off, her husband Han Shengwen died in a car accident. That year, Chen Mengwei was 35 years old, her daughter Han Shiyan was 10 years old, and her son Han Chuyang was 8 years old.

My cousin Chen Mengwei was hit hard and gave up on herself. Her textile trading company was on the verge of bankruptcy. It was only with the help of her younger brother Chen Jinting that her textile trading company was brought back to life.

Uncle Chen Haoyu has always been on the sidelines towards Chen Mengwei's textile trading company and did not offer any help when the company was in trouble. As a result, Chen Mengwei became even more dissatisfied with her father Chen Haoyu and even developed hatred towards him.

When his son Han Chuyang drowned while swimming in the sea when he was ten years old, and Chen Mengwei fell into severe depression, his father Chen Haoyu became completely anxious. For the sake of his only daughter, Uncle Chen Haoyu put aside all the business of the group company and asked his son Chen Jinting to take care of the textile trading company founded by his sister Chen Mengwei.

Uncle Chen Haoyu took his daughter Chen Mengwei and granddaughter Han Shiyan to the United States and spent a lot of money to treat his daughter Chen Mengwei. Two years later, she was cured and returned to Hong Kong. Since then, the relationship between Chen Mengwei and her father Chen Haoyu has been greatly eased.

In two years, Chen Mengwei lost her husband and son, and was ill for two years. She experienced all the separations of life and death in the world. It was her father Chen Haoyu who saved her from dire straits. She is deeply grateful to her father.

Aunt Chen Mengwei sat in front of her father Chen Haoyu's desk, thinking silently. She couldn't be angry with her father anymore, she had to love her father well.

"Mengwei, what are you thinking about? Do you want to talk to your aunt?" Grandma Chen Yalu knocked on the door and came in.

"Aunt, please take a seat. Let's have a good chat. Tell me about your legendary experience." Chen Mengwei pulled herself back to her thoughts, smoothed her hair behind her ears and said.

"Your grandfather and your father suffered a lot in those years. Do you know the torment of searching for something but not being able to find it? Your uncle Lu Kaipu and I have experienced this deeply." Grandma Chen Yalu took a sip of water and spoke slowly.

"My daughter Yuanyuan, your cousin and Qian Yizhen's mother, went missing due to schizophrenia caused by a broken heart. Your uncle and I have been looking for her for fifteen years. Few people can understand the bitterness and pain. Fortunately, God will not let down those who work hard. Yuanyuan has been found, and we have four more grandchildren."

"Who would have thought that when we were desperately looking for Yuanyuan, your grandfather, father, my father and brother were also looking for me all over the world. If I had come to the Chen Mansion a few years earlier, maybe I could have met your grandfather and my father. This is the biggest regret of my life." Grandma Chen Yalu choked and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Aunt Chen Mengwei handed Aunt Chen Yalu a tissue and said, "Yes, everyone has regrets, some are big, some are small. Let the past be the past."

"Mengwei, there is something even more bizarre." "Aunt, tell me quickly, what is the bizarre thing?"

"Yuanyuan's husband Qian Guangzong and his neighbor Professor Chen Zhuoran are actually twins. It was Professor Chen Zhuoran who you helped them do a DNA test for in Hong Kong. After Yuanyuan got lost, she met Qian Guangzong by chance. She always believed that Qian Guangzong was her ex-boyfriend Brother Zhuoran. After we moved into the Chen residence, our neighbor Hao Xia, Professor Chen Zhuoran's wife, first discovered that the two looked like twins. After the DNA test, they were indeed twins. From then on, neighbors became relatives. Don't you think it's bizarre?"

The more my cousin, Chen Mengwei, listened, the more surprised she was. She felt that the stories were even more bizarre than those in novels.

"Have the parents of the twins been found?" "That was all before the liberation. Qian Guangzong's adoptive mother said before she died that the twins' father was a Kuomintang officer who had been killed in battle, and their mother died of illness. There is no other information, and it is probably difficult to search further." Grandma Chen Yalu explained.

"Mengwei, what's going on with your mother? I rarely hear your father, Chen Haoyu, talk about your mother."

"My mother died of illness when I was fifteen. At that time, my three younger brothers were thirteen, eleven, and nine years old respectively. My father had to take care of the four of us and manage the company, so he suffered a lot. Later, life became better and better, and everyone advised him to remarry. However, my father never married. He was busy with the business of the group company and stayed in the Chen Mansion to look for my sisters." Grandma Chen Yalu lowered her head guiltily.
