Chapter 0046: Son-in-law Brings Wealth
I asked the driver to go back to Chunshanju by himself, and then I went to the gate of Wang's house with Zhu Xiaomei.
It looked like a very imposing large villa. At this moment, the lights were on and voices could be heard faintly, and it seemed quite lively.
Zhu Xiaomei pressed the doorbell a few times, and a middle-aged maid came out to answer the door. She seemed to know Zhu Xiaomei. She opened the door and let us in. She said to Zhu Xiaomei calmly, "We have guests tonight. You'd better come another day."
Zhu Xiaomei asked hurriedly: "Where is my brother? Is he preparing for his funeral?"
The maid glanced at us and seemed quite surprised: "Isn't your brother still in the hospital? I have to inform you when we need to arrange the funeral. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Zhu Xiaomei said, "But my brother was taken away at noon?"
The maid curled her lips and said, "Then I don't know."
This sounded really strange. Zhu Xiaomei was anxious. She said "Thank you, Auntie Wu" and hurried inside.
I followed her into the room and saw that the magnificent living room was full of people chatting and laughing. When they saw us come in, they were all startled.
"What are you doing here? Don't you see we have distinguished guests here?" A man in his fifties shouted with displeasure on his face.
Zhu Xiaomei seemed to be quite afraid of this man. She trembled a bit after being scolded, but she still asked with courage: "Uncle, I...I want to ask, where is my brother?"
I saw that he had a wealthy and imposing appearance, and Zhu Xiaomei called him uncle, so he must be Zhu Shouwen's father-in-law, Wang Shounian.
He waved his hand impatiently, "Didn't I tell you that your brother is stored in Chunshanju? I have guests to entertain here, so hurry down!"
Zhu Xiaomei said anxiously: "But I just went to Chunshanju and heard that my brother had been taken away by... by you!"
Wang Shounian frowned: "Nonsense, your brother is still there, how could he be taken away by me?"
Zhu Xiaomei blushed: "It was Vice President Cai, the person in charge of Chunshanju, who said it himself. If you don't admit it, I can call President Cai and ask him if it's true!"
Wang Shounian was stunned by what she said, "President Cai?"
At this time, someone coughed and said, "You must be Shouwen's sister Xiaomei. I did send someone to retrieve Shouwen's body."
I saw the man who was speaking was sitting above Wang Shounian. He was an old man in his seventies, wearing a dark green silk shirt. He had a ruddy complexion and looked kind. I guess he was Wang Shounian's father, Old Man Wang.
I heard that Wang Shounian is the one in charge of the Wang family now, but many things are still remotely controlled by this old man Wang.
Zhu Xiaomei bowed her head and greeted the old man: "Then grandpa, can you go see my brother?"
Old Master Wang smiled and said, "Originally this request is also human nature, but you came a step late, Shouwen's body has been cremated this afternoon."
Zhu Xiaomei exclaimed, "How could it be so fast? Why didn't I know about it?"
Old Master Wang sighed, shook his head and said, "Shou Wen is a very unlucky child. I originally wanted to find a suitable day to send him away."
"It's just that Master calculated that Shouwen died a violent death, which was a very bad omen, so the sooner he was cremated the better. That's why he didn't have time to inform you."
"But don't worry, we will still make your brother's funeral ceremonies glorious!"
I saw that the old man spoke beautifully, but there were many strange things in his words. As for Zhu Xiaomei, she stood there with tears in her eyes, a little at a loss, and interrupted, "I wonder where he was cremated?"
Mr. Wang narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who is this?"
Without waiting for Zhu Xiaomei to introduce herself, I smiled and said, "I'm Xiaomei's friend. I just want to know where Brother Shouwen was cremated?"
At this time, Wang Shounian said coldly: "Why are you asking about this? What difference does it make where the body is cremated?"
"Hey, Boss Wang, why are you in such a hurry? Is there anything here that you can't ask?" I said calmly.
Wang Shounian's face was gloomy: "It's not the turn of outsiders to interfere in our Wang family's affairs!" As he said that, he was about to wave his hand to drive them away.
Zhu Xiaomei was sad and angry, and shouted: "I am my brother's biological sister, how can I be an outsider?"
Wang Shounian snorted coldly, "Our Wang family spent one million to buy your brother to marry into our family. From now on, your brother is a member of our Wang family in life and a ghost in death. What does it have to do with you, Zhu?"
"You..." Zhu Xiaomei was so angry that she was shaking.
At this time, a voice lazily said: "Boss Wang, why bother with this little girl? Just kick her out. She's making so much noise that it makes your ears buzz!"
I saw that the person who was speaking was a fat man in his forties, with a fair and clean complexion, a mustache on his lips, and looked like a groundhog. He was digging his ear with his little finger, and was sitting in the seat to the left of Mr. Wang. He must be the distinguished guest of the Wang family.
As soon as this person spoke, Wang Shounian immediately smiled and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Master Wu is right. Someone, come over there and kick these two noisy guys out!"
Immediately, several sturdy guards came in from outside. I saw that Zhu Xiaomei was so scared that she was about to cry, so I laughed three times: "If you want to drive us out today, I will make sure that your Wang family will have no descendants and no burial place!"
As soon as I said this, Wang Shounian was so angry that he almost rolled his eyes and slammed the table, "How dare you curse our Wang family!"
I didn't panic either. I pointed at the fat man sitting on the seat and said, "Is this Master Wu? Why don't you ask Master Wu, will your Wang family die out in ten years at most?"
The fat man was stunned by my pointing at him, and said coldly, "What nonsense are you talking about, young man! Boss Wang's family is prosperous and wealthy, and he will be successful in no time!"
When everyone in the Wang family heard this, they all smiled, and were obviously quite pleased with themselves.
I said "Oh" and smiled, "Then I'm very curious. Since the fortune is prosperous and the wealth is beyond words, why did you look for Brother Shouwen to be the son-in-law to bring wealth to the Wang family?"
As soon as I finished saying this, there was a burst of laughter in the room, and several of the Wang family’s children were laughing so hard that they fell forward and backward.
"Hahaha, is this guy here to make people laugh?!"
"You actually said that Zhu Shouwen brought wealth , but he is just a poor loser?"
"I'm so fucking happy. You said that idiot surnamed Zhu is good for fortune?"
Zhu Xiaomei blushed and couldn't help shouting, "How can you say that about my brother? He is at least a family member of yours, right?"
A young man from the Wang family sneered, "What family? Your brother sold himself to our Wang family for a million dollars. I don't even like being a servant, how can you call him family?"
A woman next to him sneered, "That's right, go ask Wang Ruoyu first if she considers your brother her man!"
At this moment, someone outside the door suddenly said coldly: "If you want to say something bad about me in the future, say it to my face, don't chatter behind my back!"
