The mighty Chongxi still did not keep Commander Yu.This man who was decisive in the first half of his life turned into an ordinary rich man in the second half of his life.It's just that the desire to provide for the rest of the world was finally shattered in the ups and downs.

But Yu Dongrong felt that his father was still a person with too much luck in his life.In fact, everyone in the Yu family is from top to bottom.More and more refugees flooded into Rongcheng, but it was difficult for other families to live in a stable and safe manner like the Yu family.Although there are still several concubines complaining repeatedly, they think this is not a place for individuals to live.

Funerals are followed by happy events.The fourth concubine thought that the master should not be wronged, and insisted on doing well.However, there is a war outside, and waves of refugees are pouring into the city. In this chaotic time, it is unrealistic to make a big deal.What's more, the Yu family is now facing a more serious matter than holding a funeral: the bank account in the occupied area has been frozen.

I originally thought that since it was a bank opened by foreigners, it would be connected everywhere, so it wouldn't be impossible for me to get out any money at that time.Commander Yu prepared for a rainy day and brought a batch of cash with him, but more property could not be carried with him in a few suitcases.

The Yu family now lives in a western-style building, and has also built a sizable house in Xingren Hutong.But that's all that's left.The two properties have already spent a lot of the money they brought out, plus the bride price for the Zou family, the wedding banquet money, the money for Yu Dongrong's two brothers to find jobs, and the money they got with the big shots in the local area when they settled down... ...If the whole family wants to maintain the standard of living in Weiyang, it is simply talking in a dream.

Although Young Master Yu Qi was extremely worried, he was still optimistic in his heart.Money is earned.The more people flock to Rongcheng, the better the business will be.Although the business that Southwest started in the early years was still small, it could support the whole family with hard work.But when he thought of having so many mouths to feed the whole family, he felt disgusted again.

His biological mother, Aunt Jiu, was the daughter of a small comprador family and was also born to his aunt.Grandma is just a concubine with a humble background. She used to be an entertainer who sang big drums in the city.After the grandfather passed away, Yu Dongrong's big-smoking prodigal uncle sold his sister to Commander Yu who was old enough to be a father.Because she entered the gate of Yu's house in rags and empty-handed, Mrs. Jiu's concubine was squeezed out by the concubines in front for many years.But she herself is a woman with ideas, and she has long made up her mind to let Yu Dongrong learn how to make money, so that she can support herself in the future.

Young Master Yu Qi went to a foreign school since he was a child. At the age of eight, he began to learn from his mother to read accounts and bargain.He was once ridiculed by the concubines in front of him as petty.The wives thought that it was too disrespectful for a family like the Yu family to count [-] cents a day like those petty bourgeois.But Commander Yu himself is not a fool, Mrs. Ninth is capable, so he let her manage the money.The family is big and the business is big, and there are many embarrassing places in it.Yu Dongrong always felt that the early death of her biological mother was due to her own frailty and thoughtfulness, but it was also inseparable from her exhausting efforts to make ends meet.

Although Mrs. Jiu said she had nothing to say about business and financial management, she was not a stubborn and forceful person. She blindly tolerated and begged for peace with the family, and only wanted to satisfy Commander Yu in everything.In this way, he is forcibly wronging himself.Yu Dongrong knows that he also has this weakness in his temperament, but he is naturally jumpy, and when he is an adult, he is always happy outside, so he doesn't take these unhappiness very much.

It's just that now, these troubles are piled up in front of me.

Xiao Yulin quietly came over to keep watch with him.The two knelt in front of the brazier in the main room, and burned a small stack of yellow paper money after a while.Yu Dongrong didn't really believe in this before. Death is like a lamp going out, and funeral scenes are all for the living to see.But after experiencing many things in these years, he hoped that all those ghosts and ghosts were true.If this is not the case, where will the many sorrows and longings be placed?

Xiao Yulin looked at the bruises under his eyes and the stubble on his mouth, and held his hand comfortingly.The two watched silently as the yellow paper in the brazier turned into ashes, and sparks floated leisurely above.

Yu Dongrong's voice became hoarse, but his voice was still gentle: "It's not a good thing, it's a waste of time. Sing your play, you don't have to come here tomorrow."

Xiao Yulin shook his head: "I'm worried about you being alone."

He is always like this, he doesn't talk much, but he can always express Yu Dongrong's deepest feelings frankly.The Yu family is so big, with so many brothers, but Young Master Yu Qi is always alone.

Thinking of this, Yu Dongrong smiled: "I still have you." He looked at the spirit card, showing a little humor from his sadness: "Now my father can't control it if he wants to. Anyway, my second brother is married. The incense of the Yu family can't be broken." He looked at Xiao Yulin: "It's just that the gossip of the aunts and wives is not nice, and you come too often, so you will inevitably be angry."

What kind of temper is Xiao Yulin, if he responds to other people's spittle, he will be called hell.He raised his chin almost madly: "Let them talk, it doesn't hurt or itch."

Young Master Yu Qi really laughed now.He pulled Xiao Yulin to stand up, poured tea and drank together.The two of them were talking in a low voice, when a maid ran in and hurriedly said, "Seventh Young Master, Liang Xiangli is looking for you and says he has something important to do."

In the middle of the night, I'm afraid nothing good will happen.Yu Dongrong's heart sank.He took the lamp from the servant girl's hand, and hurried out together with Xiao Yulin, telling the maidservant as he walked, "Wake up the butler, and ask him to report the accounts of the house to me."

Liang Xiangli was short and fat, he used to be a kind and rich boss, but now his face was pale and his eyes were red.Just as Yu Dongrong expected, he brought a nightmarish news: the merchant ships carrying the goods exported by the Yu family were bombed and sunk by the devil's plane in the harbor of Huacheng.The tung oil, Shu brocade and a batch of processed gems and jewelry on board were all blown up; only two of the dozen or so employees escorted survived.

Yu Dongrong stood quietly for a moment, then suddenly leaned back and fell into Xiao Yulin's arms.

The crowd seemed to be in a panic. Those who were looking for a doctor were looking for a doctor, and some were calling for someone.Unexpectedly, a few minutes later, Young Master Yu Qi opened his eyes leisurely on the bed, and said in a weak voice, "How much money is left in the account?"

Soon, the whole family knew about the bombing of the merchant ship.Yu Dongrong finished dealing with the pension on the hospital bed, and the whole family surrounded him.Xiao Yulin felt angry, this was a deadly posture - what did Young Master Yu Qi look like.

Yet there is no place for him to speak here.So I had no choice but to hold back my anger, and stood by Young Master Yu Qi's side like a little daughter-in-law and a thug.It was a pretty face, but now it was ferocious, as if whoever opened his mouth would pounce on him and bite.

The family sat down separately.Yu Dongrong knew that even if the merchant ships were not bombed, there would be such a day at home sooner or later.At this point, his heart calmed down, and he calmly explained the family's financial situation.

This statement was like a stone that caused a thousand waves, and the whole family was blown up.Yu Dongrong waited for them to calm down, and said quietly: "It's like this now. The deposit is frozen, and you can't even get the interest. Buyers and sellers, most of the living money is in the goods. The livelihood of the family will definitely not be the same as before. According to me, a business that has been in business for many years cannot be so yellow. Our family does not have that many people, and we have to sell at least one of the two houses for money..."

As soon as these words came out, there was another quarrel below.In the end, his second brother Yu Xiarong slapped the table: "If you want me to say, since Dad is gone, we might as well separate the family. It's easy for everyone to take care of their own livelihood."

Yu Dongrong himself actually meant the same thing, but it was hard to say it.After all, Commander Yu just left, and before he left, he asked them to take care of each other and not to treat your aunts badly.But after thinking about it, they really separated, maybe it was a good thing for the aunts.The little aunts are still young, and once the filial piety period is over, they will all find a place to live.Commander Yu also mentioned this before—after all, they are still enlightened people.

But in the final analysis, the division of the family is the division of accounts and money, and the business he has worked so hard to manage for so many years will also be divided.The Yu family's business is complex, and the accounts of various commercial shops are involved with each other. If they are forcibly separated, under such circumstances, it would be like skinning and gouging out bones.

Strange and strange, he was obviously born with a string of money, and when he came to such a field, not only did he not feel distressed, but he felt a sense of joy.

Separation is a big deal, and naturally there are those who agree and those who disagree.Those who agreed, still had a dispute over how to divide.This is not something that can be negotiated in a short time.So everyone dispersed with a heavy heart.

Yu Dongrong lay back on the bed tiredly.The servant girl closed the door, and there was only one little Yulin left in the room.He looked at Young Master Yu Qi worriedly: "How is it? Is there any discomfort on your body?"

Yu Dongrong shook his head: "I'm just tired. I want to sleep for a while." He looked at Xiao Yulin, and said in a low voice, "You come up to sleep too, isn't there a play tomorrow?"

Xiao Yulin took off her outer clothes, climbed onto the bed neatly, and hugged Young Master Yu Qi.

Yu Dongrong was quiet for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I'm afraid I won't have the money to support you in the future."

Xiao Yulin was silent for a moment, then suddenly called out: "Dongrong."

"Hmm... um?" Young Master Yu Qi asked suspiciously, "What did you call me?"

"Dong Rong." Xiao Yulin tried to keep a straight face, but the corners of his mouth couldn't stop turning up.

Young Master Yu Qi quickly understood his little twists and turns, and spanked him under the quilt angrily: "I'm going bankrupt, and you're still so happy..."

"I'm not happy...I just... think we're the same..."

Yu Dongrong sighed: "Boss Zhou, I will rely on you more from now on."

Xiao Yulin said solemnly: "It's easy to say."

The two looked at each other for a moment and both smiled.But with a smile, Young Master Yu Qi couldn't laugh anymore.The hard, hot thing underneath was poking at him.He warned: "I'm wearing a filial piety, I don't want to mess around."

Xiao Yulin hid outside: "Yeah." His eyes were still hot, making him blush.

Yu Dongrong turned over and turned his back to him.After a while, Xiao Yulin still posted it quietly, and whispered: "Turn around, I don't do anything."

Yu Dongrong turned over again, and the two of them put their heads together and fell asleep in the entanglement of breathing.
