After hearing my inner thoughts, the ancestors in the Dream of the Red Chamber went berserk.

Jia Daishan smiled and said:

"But Grandfather is a little tired."

Jia Hu and the other two then told their grandfather to go and rest, while they went back to their own courtyard to play.

After watching them leave together with a smile, Jia Daishan's expression immediately changed as he looked at his two sons.

Jia She and Jia Zheng knew that this matter was definitely not going to be overturned, and they knelt down skillfully.

Jia Daishan looked at his kneeling son and felt very complicated. He didn't know who to blame.

The saying goes, "If a son is not taught, it is the father's fault." Is it because he failed to properly educate his son from the beginning, or because he failed to discipline his wife, allowing her to act entirely according to his own ideas after he left?

He often wondered why the Jia family had ended up in such a miserable state!

No one will have a good outcome. This shows that in such a large family, there isn't a single man who can take charge.

It turned out that everything inside was completely broken.

Kneeling, Jia She and Jia Zheng looked at their father's face, which was filled with unconcealed sorrow, and their hearts were also filled with grief.

I feel they've grown a lot these past few days, but it's still not enough; they've been unfilial. The two of them, filled with grief, kowtowed and wept.

Jia Daishan was immersed in grief when he saw his two sons like this.

They stood up and each of them kicked one of them, cursing:

"All you do is cry and whine. Now that you have this incredible opportunity, stand up and be upright people."

The two were also very distressed, and each of them hugged one of Jia Daishan's legs, crying out for their father in a very pitiful manner.

Jia Daishan was suddenly grabbed by the legs by his two grown sons, and for a moment he was both amused and exasperated.

He shifted his leg and said disdainfully:

"Get out of my way! Do you think you're my little grandsons? Acting like this! Now that you know about these things, let's put everything out there today."

Your mother is wrong, and I will speak to her about it. As for what happens after I pass away, you don't need to worry. I will make a will in advance and settle everything; one copy will be kept for our family, and one copy will be kept for your uncle's family.

Even if I die before your mother, and I have a will, she wouldn't dare to act recklessly anymore.

If she doesn't follow my will in the future..."

Jia Daishan paused for a moment, then continued:

“If your mother dares to go this far, I will also leave a letter for the clan leader, instructing him to send her back to her hometown of Jinling to live out her days, and to never let her interfere in the affairs of the Jia family.”

Jia She and Jia Zheng panicked. "Father! You can't do this. If we don't do what Hu'er said, so many things won't happen in the future."

"Father, by doing this, aren't you breaking Mother's heart and damaging your marriage of so many years?"

Jia Daishan smiled with satisfaction upon hearing this:

"Do you think your father is as stupid as you? Your mother can know about the will, but I will give the rest to your eldest uncle. It will be kept in the ancestral hall, and I will tell your mother about it after I pass away."

If your mother cared about our marital relationship, she would listen to me and wouldn't do those things.

The two men finally calmed down. Jia Daishan looked at his two sons' tearful and snotty faces and said with disgust:

"You guys are really going to drive me crazy. I'm already this old, I should be enjoying my retirement, but I still have to worry about you. Take off that stupid look on your face and wipe your faces clean."

The two of them didn't even bother to take out their handkerchiefs. They wiped their hands with their sleeves without regard for etiquette and then looked timidly at Jia Daishan.

Jia Daishan:

"Let's get straight to the point today. Boss, tell me what you were thinking before. Did you harbor any resentment?"

Jia She chose to express his true feelings.

"Actually, I did care a little before, but then I thought that I was someone who was loved by my grandparents and had my father, so I didn't really care much before."

At this point, Jia She suddenly felt aggrieved.

"It's only right for a son to be filial to his parents. But Dad, I never imagined that I would be made to live next to the stables. It's one thing if you don't let me live in the main hall, but we have so many courtyards, where can't I live?"

Jia Daishan glanced at his eldest son, who was still worrying about the stable next to him and was being useless.

He sighed, feeling fortunate that no major resentment had arisen yet, and that hatred hadn't developed. His eldest son was a dutiful son.

Jia Daishan:

"What you're worried about won't happen. It's your turn to speak, second brother."

Jia Zheng glanced somewhat embarrassedly at his father and elder brother and said:

The son had sensed his mother's favoritism towards him. He had initially thought that since his older brother was loved by his grandparents, it was only natural for his mother to love him too. Later, as he grew older, he realized it was wrong, but his mother's affection for him remained unwavering, and he couldn't say anything against her.

Jia Daishan:

"Since you've both brought this up, I'll say something too. In the past, no matter whether you two were good or bad, I, as your father, tried my best to treat you both equally. I had noticed your mother's favoritism before, and I had advised her about it before, but I didn't expect it to be this serious."

The things you were worried about will not happen. Now that everything has been discussed, we don't want to hurt the family ties or create a rift in the family relationship.

Eldest brother, second brother, let me tell you, family is always the most important thing. You two brothers must work together wholeheartedly for the Jia family to prosper, understand?

Neither of them were truly fools; once they talked things out, the resentment in their hearts dissipated.

The two solemnly replied, "Father, we understand."

Jia Daishan was a little happier then, patting the two men on the shoulders.

"These are my two good sons. I've been thinking, and I realize I haven't been caring enough for you before. So today, I'll ask you what you've been up to lately."

Jia She replied enthusiastically, "Father, my shop is very popular now. There are long queues of people who come from far and wide because of its reputation."

Jia Zheng was also happy for his elder brother and said joyfully:

"Brother is really amazing."

This was the first time Jia She had heard his younger brother praise him like this, and Jia She was so happy that he almost held his head up to the sky.

Jia Daishan looked at his eldest son's proud expression.

"Very good, I'm happy that you've found what you want to do. But you must remember that when we run a business, we must be upright and honest. We must never abuse our power to oppress others, and we must never become arrogant and conceited after achieving some success. We must be humble and patient in everything we do in order to achieve success."

Jia She immediately reverted to a respectful demeanor.

Jia Daishan nodded in satisfaction and then looked at Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng said embarrassedly, "I haven't achieved anything like my elder brother, but I have gained a lot from my studies recently."
