"Chenghuan, yesterday, I made a note to give you my inheritance. ”
In the ending of the original book of "The Story of Cheng Huan", Mai Chenghuan's step-grandmother died at the end of her life, and when she was dying, she only called Mai Chenghuan to come to her and gave her all her property.
No one could have imagined that an 80-year-old lady living in a nursing home would hold the financial power and not let go until she died, and this is not a small amount, the discount amount is as high as 8 figures!
Step-grandmother's unknown past
Grandmother Chen Shuzhen has no blood relationship with the children and grandchildren of the Mai family, she is the aunt of her grandfather, the stepmother of Mak Laitian, and the stepgrandmother of Mak Chenghuan and Mak Chengzao.
Chen Shuzhen is not good to Mai Laitian, and Mai Laitian's family of four does not have much contact with her.
Especially Liu Wanyu, who has always been at odds with this non-biological mother-in-law, and can even be said to hate her, because after the old man died, she annexed all the property of the Mai family.
Liu Wanyu only looks at money, but in fact, she doesn't really know about Chen Shuzhen's life experience and past.
Only Mai Laitian, who has lived for most of his life, still remembers it clearly:
"I remember the day she walked in. ”
"I heard that it was a dancing girl, wearing a big red cheongsam, and the woman's costume at that time was really strange, with a pink silk jacket inside the fork of the robe, and she was dressed like a Vietnamese, and my father liked her very much, and she never looked at me. ”
Chen Shuzhen is not a simple woman, in the era of male superiority and inferiority of women, she was born as a dancer, not only married into the Mai family in style, but also has the supreme status.
Although she is an aunt's wife, her status is higher than that of the only son of the Mai family, even if she did not give birth to a boy and a half girl for the Mai family, and even did not wait to see Mai Laitian, the old man respected her very much.
After the old man died, all the property was in Chen Shuzhen's hands, and no one knew how much, only that she lived in a well-off sanatorium and lived a comfortable and lonely life in her old age.
Knowing that the old lady was sick, Mai Laitian's family thought that they wanted them to pay for treatment, but in fact, Chen Shuzhen was going to pass away, and handed over all the tens of millions of inheritance to Mai Chenghuan alone.
It's not because the old lady likes Mai Chenghuan, and she doesn't treat Mai Chenghuan as a relative, but because Mai Chenghuan looks like a grandfather, and has called Chen Shuzhen her grandmother for so many years, and women need to be rich:
"In the end, a person just wants to see his children. I have no relatives. ”
"Your face looks like your grandfather. ”
"You have called me grandmother all these years, and I should leave you some dowry. ”
"A woman who doesn't have a little money around her doesn't work at all, and it's only worse when she gets old. ”
"If you have money, you can hide, and if you have less money, you want to save money, and the ugliness of people before and after you is exposed. ”
None of the descendants of the Mai family are grateful to Chen Shuzhen
The old lady did not treat the descendants of the Mai family well during her lifetime, and she did not drag any of them down until she died, and no one was sad or weeping for her death.
It can be regarded as not owing each other, so the indifference of Mai Laitian and Liu Wanyu is understandable.
But the biggest beneficiary, Mai Chenghuan, in addition to lamenting that the old lady was blessed without illness, the rest was joy.
It was not so much that she was happy that her grandmother had passed peacefully, but that she was thrilled that she had received money that she would never earn in her lifetime.
Money is the most test of human nature, it is a mirror, reflecting the truest side of people's hearts, desires are clearly visible, and Mai Chenghuan's cool side is also exposed.
Chen Shuzhen gave Mai Chenghuan so much property, and Mai Chenghuan did not have a trace of gratitude, but felt that he had completed the great cause of sending him to the end.
After Mai Chenghuan got Chen Shuzhen's inheritance, he immediately cashed in and spent it, bought a house for his parents, and bought another set for himself.
Chen Shuzhen's will only wrote Mai Chenghuan's name alone, and Mai Chenghuan never thought about separating it with his younger brother.
Mai Chenghuan bought a house for his parents, firstly, to fulfill his filial piety and no longer owe his parents, and secondly, to draw a clear line with them, get rid of shackles, and live his own life freely.
It is said that men become bad when they are rich, but in fact, it has nothing to do with gender, it has to do with people and human nature, and human nature is difficult to stand the test.
In fact, no one knows how much money Chen Shuzhen has, she just doesn't give any money to the children and grandchildren of the Mai family, and no one says anything, they are used to it, and they are used to treating her as an outsider.
Liu Wanyu scolded Mai Laitian for sticking a cold face to the old lady, and Mai Chenghuan told Mai Chengzao that his grandmother was not a real grandmother, she was not related to them, and she was not necessarily close to them.
It was only when Mai Chenghuan got married happily that Liu Wanyu thought of the old lady and asked Mai Chenghuan to take Xin Jialiang to meet him to see if he could get something.
The step-grandmother gave Mai Chenghuan a rare jade bracelet, saying that she was very optimistic about her:
"I've always been optimistic about you, Cheng Huan, your younger brother can't do it, he has been frizzy since he was a child, and he can't become a big deal. ”
"Chenghuan, you are different from your parents and brother, you are an excellent woman, I bless you, and bring it to me when you give birth to a child in the future. ”
Xin Jialiang thinks that his grandmother is good, but Mai Chenghuan is angry, angry that his stepgrandmother looks down on his parents, hates her for holding on one another, and scolds her for getting older and more fierce.
Of course, Chen Shuzhen is indeed not a good stubble, and her heart is quite ruthless.
When Mai Laitian needed money the most, Chen Shuzhen didn't take out a penny.
Maybe it was the old man's idea before his death, or maybe the old lady saw through Mai Laitian and Liu Wanyu and couldn't give them to them.
Because Liu Wanyu is too snobbish, she doesn't work hard, she will only complain, Mai Laitian is mediocre and not smart, and she is still a "strict wife", giving them the first time, there will be countless times later, they can't support the wall in the mud, it is a "bottomless pit".
Mak Lai Tim himself said:
"Perhaps, at that time, I didn't know how to operate, but it was not good. ”
The Mai family moved to a new home, they are no longer looked down upon, their social status and living standards have improved, Mai Laitian is quite content, but Liu Wanyu is not very rare.
Mai Chengcao and Mai Chenghuan are also complaining, why didn't they give it to them earlier?
Now that they have got the money, their step-grandmother is not good in their hearts, they will only think that this is what they deserve, and Chen Shuzhen owes Mai Laitian.
"When I say it's money, it's actually all the joy of my father's childhood and youth: a pair of shoes, a toy, a new book...... are all deducted and become the private savings of the elderly. ”
"Dad always said that when he was a kid, he always wished he had a pair of old-fashioned roller skates, but his grandparents didn't buy them for him anyway. ”
"Look, so this property actually belongs to him. ”
They did not think it was a gift from their grandmother, but in exchange for the sacrifice of their father's childhood.
People are always too critical, demanding, and unsatisfied.
Because of his grandmother's inheritance, Mai Chengzao finally had his own room, and Mai Chenghuan's status was also improved. What would they have done without it?
