Mother waved her hand and instructed, "Go, let the finance department triple Yu Fang's bonus."
"This little girl is quite clever; she handles things efficiently."
"Uncle's family has been arranged to stay at the guesthouse. I wonder what tricks they will come up with this time."
As she spoke, Mother glanced at Chen Zhiwen, who was sitting on the sofa.
"Honey, have you thought about how to deal with them?"
My father sat silently on the sofa, his head lowered.
After finishing a cigarette, he remained silent for a long time.
"Let's give him another chance."
"Consider it my last act of indulgence as Second Uncle."
Mother sighed, "Honey, they have already become greedy."
"No matter how much you admonish them, they lack any intention to repent."
"If we let them in again this time, who knows what words might hurt you."
My father waved his hand and pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray.
"Sigh..."
"After all, he is my nephew."
"We are connected by blood; it shouldn't come to that."
He picked up the lighter from the table and toyed with it in his hands.
"Let this be my last act of leniency as Second Uncle."
That evening, Uncle's family was welcomed in a large private room for a gathering.
Having been starved earlier this year, Uncle dared not bring up the foolish request for his daughter and sister to leave the table again.
However, Aunt still couldn't help but feel angry while sitting in the private room.
" Zhiwen, didn't we agree that when we came over, you would hand over the family assets to Da Zhuang?"
"Now that we're having this welcoming dinner, you should also arrange a place for us to stay, right?"
She twirled the beads in her hand quickly, occasionally glancing sideways at Wang Shuqin.
Wang Shuqin sat quietly beside them, watching with cold indifference, pretending not to notice.
Chen Dazhuang tugged at her sleeve. "Alright, Mom, let's eat first."
Aunt fell silent, feeling a bit awkward.
Once the dishes were served, Uncle could no longer hold back.
" Zhiwen, you mentioned before that you wanted Da Zhuang to inherit the family assets."
"We're family, so I won't be polite about it."
"Now that Da Zhuang has grown up, he should have a place to settle down, right?"
Uncle rubbed his hands together with a humble smile on his face.
Aunt chimed in, "Yes, Second Brother."
"Look at you and Sister-in-law; there are just two girls. It wouldn't do for such a large estate to go without an heir."
"Why not transfer a property to Da Zhuang now? It would give him a place to stay."
"You can't just keep such a large fortune for yourselves and let it go to outsiders in the end."
Chen Zhiwen lowered his head and drank silently.
Wang Shuqin chuckled softly from the side.
Aunt slammed her hand on the table. "Sister-in-law, what do you mean by that?"
" Zhiwen promised in front of everyone that he would leave the family assets to Da Zhuang."
"You wouldn't be thinking of going back on your word now, would you?"
Wang Shuqin gently patted her hand. "Sister-in-law, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Guests from afar are still relatives."
"No matter how bad things get, I would never let you live under a bridge."
Aunt looked taken aback. "What do you mean by that?"
Wang Shuqin smiled without saying a word.
I sat to the side, watching the drama unfold.
It seemed my mother had everything planned out long ago.
Aunt lost her patience completely, hands on her hips. "You, Wang! Don't try that with me!"
"I don't care how you arrange things; today you must give me a rough idea!"
"House, car, savings... none of it can be missing!"
Chen Zhiwen set down his glass.
He remained silent for a long time, casting a meaningful glance at Uncle.
"Let Da Zhuang inherit the family fortune? That can wait until I'm dead."
In an instant, the private room fell silent.
