Wealthy beyond measure, yet you call me a sister-supporting-brother demon?

Chapter 59 It's not an exaggeration to say that the richest woman's sister is incredibly w

"Why? Uncle, dividing the family property like this will make Dad and Mom suffer a huge loss! Grandpa and Grandma are just picking on honest people!"

"Yu Chuan, in our time, filial piety is of paramount importance, but it can also be a double-edged sword! If this division of the family property is not handled properly, and your sister and brother-in-law become successful in the future, the Zhou family will try to take advantage of you and use filial piety to pressure you. What will you do then?"

Zhou Yuchuan dismissed it, saying, "Let them talk! It won't hurt us! The villagers who know the truth won't say anything about us."

Yuan Sheng asked, "What if my sister and brother-in-law have tens of thousands of dollars in wealth in the future? Bystanders will only sympathize with the weak, thinking that they are so rich but unwilling to spend a little money on their parents."

Zhou Yuchuan was a little confused. Tens of thousands of strings of cash? "Uncle, are you overthinking this? How could our family possibly have tens of thousands of strings of cash in the future?"

"Isn't it normal for the sister and brother-in-law of the future richest man to have tens of millions of dollars in wealth?"

Zhou Yuchuan stood on tiptoe and touched Yuan Sheng's forehead. No fever? Why is my uncle acting so strangely today?!

Yuan Sheng glared at his nephew, "Don't you believe in your uncle's abilities?"

His uncle used to cheat him out of even a single penny of his New Year's money, but then he learned his lesson and became quite capable! But becoming the richest man? What did that mean? He couldn't imagine. Zhou Yuchuan nodded, somewhat bewildered, "I believe my uncle."

"Also, what if one of you and Yu Feng is a promising student who will pass the imperial examinations and pursue a career in government? Would your parents dare to leave your grandparents to fend for themselves? They would definitely entangle you in their clutches."

Zhou Yuchuan nodded, it seemed to make sense. However, he and Yufeng didn't have the money to go to school. Their mother said their uncle would sponsor them, but their father said they couldn't be a burden on their uncle.

"Therefore, your uncle suggests that you try to get the letter of severance of kinship this time. If you can't get it, you should write down in detail the reasons for the division of the family property, and provide your grandparents with support expenses every year after the division. At the same time, you should let the villagers and elders of the clan witness how your grandparents mistreated your parents. In this way, your parents can stand on the high ground of public opinion."

Zhou Yuchuan understood. If they were poor in the future, the power of public opinion wouldn't matter at all; it would be better to find a way to get a larger share of the family fortune now. But if they really became successful as his uncle said, then the power of public opinion would be crucial. "Uncle, I understand."

Yuan Sheng added, "Even if the family division agreement includes support payments, your parents will become very wealthy in the future. Under the pressure of filial piety, they won't follow the agreement and will still try to take advantage of you. It's best to finalize the severance agreement this time; that's the only way to prevent future troubles! But what I'm most worried about is my brother-in-law; he can't let go of the Zhou family."

Zhou Yuchuan waved his hand, "Uncle, don't worry about that. Today, my dad has seen through their true colors completely. He really angered my grandpa!"

"That's good. When you get back, you must explain to your parents the importance of obtaining the letter of severance of ties. Also, tell them that I've found a place for them to make a living. The house on the hillside is just right, on the edge of Dongshan Village, but it's also close to us. If they stayed at Old Zhou's house, it would be detrimental to their business." The hillside is on the edge of Dongshan Village and also on the edge of Shanhou Village. It's only an incense stick's worth of travel from the hillside to Yuansheng's house.

"Uncle, I'll go back and tell my parents right away." Zhou Yuchuan was about to leave when he was stopped.

Sheng Guihua slapped him on the back, "Hurry, hurry, are you in such a rush to be reincarnated? Don't you know you should eat at your grandparents' house before you leave?"

Zhou Yuchuan scratched his head, "Grandma, it's not mealtime yet... I ate chicken today, it was so delicious!"

Zhu Chenxi brought out steamed rice, a plate of braised pork belly, and a plate of braised eggplant.

Zhou Yuchuan was mesmerized by the aroma; how could it smell so good! His mouth watered uncontrollably.

My stomach, which had just eaten porridge and chicken, started growling again.

Zhu Chenxi handed over the chopsticks, "Yu Chuan, why aren't you getting your chopsticks? Let's eat."

Zhou Yuchuan took the chopsticks and said, "Thank you, Aunt."

"Grandma, where are Grandpa?" Zhou Yuchuan didn't touch his chopsticks because the elders hadn't eaten. "Grandma, Uncle, Aunt, why aren't you eating?"

Sheng Guihua was a little angry. "Your grandpa took Dahuang out for a stroll again. Dahuang is his own son! Yuchuan, you eat. We've all had lunch."

Zhou Yuchuan swallowed hard, suppressing his craving, and said, "If you don't eat this delicious food, I won't either." As he spoke, he put his chopsticks down on the table.

Yuan Sheng patted his head and said, "You're so young, yet so sensible. Just eat without worry. We eat this kind of food every meal. Your grandma and aunt made it especially for you."

"Really?" Zhou Yuchuan looked incredulous!

Yuan Sheng laughed and said, "Really! I'm the one who sells this braised meat. Your grandma is almost tired of eating it."

When Sheng Guihua first ate this braised pork, she felt that even the finest dragon meat in the world couldn't compare. But after eating it every day, she found that she didn't like it as much anymore. "Son, I still want to eat your boiled fish." The boiled fish was so fragrant and spicy, it was really delicious!

Zhu Chenxi chuckled, "Mom, I've learned it all. I'll buy a big carp tomorrow and cook it for you."

"Really? My daughter-in-law is so smart! She learned it in one go!" Sheng Guihua was overjoyed. Her daughter-in-law was both smart and filial, so what did it matter if she was a little ugly?

Yuan Sheng took Zhu Chenxi's hand under the table, and a blush slowly crept onto Zhu Chenxi's fair cheeks. "My lord, really, in front of so many people!"

Zhou Yuchuan then felt relieved and started eating, taking a bite of the braised eggplant first.

Oh my god! This eggplant is so delicious!

He had never known there were such delicious vegetarian dishes in the world! They tasted almost as good as meat.

This eggplant was deep-fried with osmanthus flowers, so of course it's incredibly fragrant!

Zhou Yuchuan took another bite of rice. It was fragrant and sticky, and this was the first time he had ever eaten such delicious rice since he was a child. He remembered that his family had bought rice once before. His grandmother would steam a bowl for his uncle every time he came back from the private school. His younger brother had secretly tasted a bite and was scolded severely by his grandmother.

Zhou Yuchuan carefully picked up another piece of braised pork belly. It was so delicious! He was so moved he wanted to cry! This taste was beyond his imagination. Was his uncle using him to make money? No wonder!

"Yuchuan, eat as much as you want. Finish all these dishes, they were all made especially for you. And there's rice too, there's more in the pot, your aunt will give you more."

"By the way, Yu Chuan, don't reveal the details of the braised meat beforehand. We should keep our wealth hidden. Your uncle doesn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble."

"Uncle, I understand."

Zhou Yuchuan was enjoying the food to his heart's content. He thought, "My uncle said he would be the richest man in the future, that his family would be incredibly wealthy, and that he would have a successful career in government. All of these things will come true!"

Because my uncle really can create miracles!
