After Running Away With a Cub, I Became Everyone’s Favourite

Property

Chen Zhiyu’s bone fracture was not serious, but he was a career-minded man, so he asked Secretary Li to push him to a meeting at the company in afternoon. Xia Qing Shu didn’t go home yesterday, and as there was nothing to do at the office now, he simply went home.

He had just walked downstairs to the community when he saw Xia Lao Er smoking a cigarette in the garden.

“Dad, what are you doing?”

There were many mosquitoes in the garden, and Xia Lao Er had been bitten on the head and had many scratches on his face.

“Miao, you’re back.” When Xia Lao Er saw Xia Qing Shu, he looked like a saviour and grabbed him.

“Dad, what happened, did you win the big prize?”

“No, it’s that who… Xia Yubin is here …your eldest uncle and the others are here too…” Xia Lao Er stammered a little as he put out his cigarette. Xia Lao Er was originally a bit introverted, facing the eloquent Xia Yubin, he do not know how to deal with him, he could not stay, but simply hid out.

“He’s your own son, what are you afraid of?” Xia Qing Shu pulled Xia Er into the lift, “Come on, show your father’s strength.”

The two of them walked into the lift and Xia Lao Er was a bit embarrassed, “Miao, didn’t your grandparents leave you a piece of land before?”

Xia Qing Shu frowned, “Xia Yubin wants it?”

“No, he didn’t say he wanted it either ……” Xia Laodi didn’t know what to say, and that was why he was hiding out. The land was originally owned by his father-in-law and mother-in-law, when there was no Qingqiu, his wife was the only daughter, and his father-in-law passed the land to Xia Qingshu’s name before he died.

The land was supposedly given to his grandson by his father-in-law, but now it has been discovered that the wrong person was hugged and Xia Yubin is the biological one, so if Xia Yubin insists on asking for the land, it seems to make sense.

Xia Yubin seemed generous, and he didn’t say he wanted the land. Instead, it was old man Xia and his elder brother who kept bringing up the land and asking Xia Qing Shu to give it up.

The land was in the suburbs, rented out to someone who opened a farmhouse, and with the recent Guojia policy, the suburbs were zoned to a new economic zone, and it was heard that it would be worth twice as much, old value.

“It’s best if he didn’t ask for it.” Xia Qingshu pressed the lift button and laughed, “I wouldn’t have given it if he had wanted it.”

When he opened the door, he was greeted by the smell of smoke. Old man Xia was sitting on the sofa with his legs apart, holding a cigarette in one hand and tea in the other, putting on a kingly air. The elder uncle and aunt sat around the old man eating melon seeds, Xia Sang and second cousin were eating Xia Qingqiu’s lollipop, and Li Xiaodong was asked to pour water.

Xia Yubin was saying to everyone with smiling eyes, “The law says that nurturing grace is greater than birth grace, grandpa, you raised dad, it’s right for dad to do his filial duty to you.”

Seeing Xia Lao Er return, Xia Yubin added, “Dad, do you think I’m right?”

Xia Lao Er and his wife were steamed buns, they had been morally kidnapped by old man Xia in the early years, and the two of them had saved their money to “honor” old man Xia, Xia Qing Shu could not easily set things right, and Xia Yubin had brought back these insatiable vampires.

“Huh? I guess so. I don’t know about the law or anything.” Xia Lao Er finished and quietly pulled down the hem of Xia Qing Shu’s shirt.

“Older brother, of course what Yu Bin said is right, he’s a senior law student at the University of R.” Eldest Uncle Xia spat out a mouthful of melon seed skin and sighed, “After listening to Yu Bin’s explanation, I realized that we, in the past, were superficial.”

The eldest aunt continued, “If it weren’t for Yubin, we wouldn’t have understood that the kindness we received from our parents was greater than the kindness we received from them.

As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant and hard to go from extravagant to frugal. After a few days of living a life of slack, Xia Lao Er was no longer willing to go back to the old days when he was oppressed by old man Xia’s family. His mouth was dumb and he didn’t know what to say, pushing Xia Qing Shu out, “Our miao cub is also big.”

Old man Xia waved his hand impatiently, “Qing Shu is different.”

When Xia Qing Shu was studying at the University of R, old man Xia was not happy with it. The tuition fee was hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, so Xia Lao Er was afraid that his heart was not broken with pig’s blood. To cultivate Xia Qingshu, it is better to cultivate the dog of their village. The dog can eat meat when it grows up. Xia Qingshu is a bottomless pit.

Xia Lao Er asked, “What’s the difference? Aren’t they all the same classes.”

“Qing Shu is paying a high price to get in, Yu Bin took the exam to get in, not paying tuition, with a scholarship.” Old man Xia nodded at Xia Yubin, “Yu Bin has real talent, he is going to make a lot of money in the future.”

Xia Yubin said modestly, “Grandpa, you’re flattering me.”

Xia’s eldest uncle and aunt agreed, “Look, the words of a top student are different, very elegant.”

Xia Lao Er muttered, “Miao cub is not bad either.”

“He ah ……” Old man Xia wanted to say that Xia Qing Shu was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to earn back his tuition fees after toiling for the rest of his life, but when he thought of the fifty million dollars that Xia Qing Shu had just got, plus his status as the child of a wealthy family, he swallowed the words in his mouth again.

When he first heard about it from his relatives, he couldn’t believe it, but then he saw Xia’s family replacing their house and car, and found the man who had gone to help him move the money, and learnt that it was all true. It took them a morning to finish depositing several large carts of cash. Xia Lao Er, the loser, just went quietly and didn’t get a single yuan for him. Lao Er had changed for the worse, too.

If it were in the past, with so much money, he would have asked Xia Lao Er to take out at least half of it to pay respect to his old man. Later, knowing that Xia Lao Er was not related to him by blood, the oldest son encouraged him several times, but he was too embarrassed to come.

A few days ago, he ran into Xia Yubin, who enthusiastically called him grandfather, and told him that his adoptive kindness was greater than his biological kindness, and that according to the law, Xia Lao Er had to support him, which gave him the courage to come to the door again.

Old man Xia’s mouth turned, “Qing Shu is also good, I heard that he also earned money, and earned a lot.”

After saying this, the eldest uncle and aunt’s first cousin and second cousin all looked at Xia Qing Shu in unison. The greed in their eyes was so obvious that Xia Lao Er was a bit anxious and said, “That is the money to pay for Miao’s medical treatment!”

“For what?” The elder aunt laughed, “Qing Shu is so healthy and fit, he doesn’t look like he’s sick, right, Qing Shu, tell your aunt how you made so much money at once?”

Second cousin followed suit and asked, “Qing Shu, we’re all family, don’t hide anything.”

Xia Qingshu blinked and walked straight to the sofa and sat down, his chin nudging the tea, “I’m a bit thirsty.”

Eldest Aunt kicked Second Cousin, who very reluctantly poured a cup of tea for Xia Qing Shu. Xia Qing Shu took a look at the tea leaves, which were still the same as Xia Lao Er’s packet of “Bi Luo Da Hong Chun”, and hurriedly instructed, “No tea, just plain water.”

Second cousin finished pouring the water and brought the cup to Xia Qing Shu, muttering, “It’s as if you’ve become a guest and we’re the hosts.”

Xia Qing Shu took the cup and laughed, “Second cousin, so you know, when I first entered, I almost thought I had gone to the wrong door.”

The eldest aunt’s face snapped up, and the eldest Xia uncle was as thick-skinned as if nothing had happened. The old man didn’t understand the mockery in Xia Qing Shu’s language because of his low education level and his deafness, and he was still asking after him, “You’ve drunk all the water, tell me.”

Xia Qing Shu could earn 50 million, his two eldest grandsons were much smarter than Xia Qing Shu, wouldn’t they be a whole 100 million each!

Xia Qing Shu took a sip of water and laughed, “It’s very simple, the test is one of boldness.”

The eldest cousin had recently worked as a stock boy and was scolded by his supervisor for being lazy and had his bonus deducted. After suffering a severe beating from society, he spent his days fantasising about getting rich overnight and dreaming about picking up money like Xia Qing Shu. He took out the book and pen he carried with him, “Speak slowly, I’ll write it down.”

Xia Qing Shu put down his glass of water and said in a staged tone, “When you see a rich person, you have to approach with patience, you can’t be too hasty, you can’t show lust right away. It is best to lower their guard without realising it.”

The elder cousin wrote down the word “patience” and asked, “And then what?”

Xia Yubin sat aside and quietly turned on the recording on his phone. He had underestimated Xia Qingshu before, thinking he was stupid and dumb, but he had never thought that he had such a mind, perhaps he had also relied on such a tactic to get close to Chen Zhiyu.  Chen Zhiyu hated people who approached him with petty intentions.

His previous approach was too deliberate and Chen Zhiyu was a bit prejudiced against him, he didn’t dare to make a rash move recently and was still looking for an opportunity. If Chen Zhiyu had heard this recording today, he would have change his mind about Xia Qingshu.

Xia Yubin smiled and leaned a little closer to Xia Qingshu.

“Next, it’s the most crucial.” Xia Qing Shu’s face suddenly became serious.

Eldest cousin and second cousin, Eldest uncle and Eldest aunt Xia Lao Er: “Speak up!”

Under everyone’s expectation, Xia Qing Shu narrated, “The most and most important thing is, to see if your health is good?”

First cousin Xia Sang: “I am in good health.”

Second cousin Xia Ju: “My health is also good.”

Old man Xia smiled: His second grandson’s most distinguished feature was his good health, that body, at a glance, was the material to earn a hundred million dollars.

Xia Qing Shu laughed, “Patience and good health, wait until they fight in a group, you see the opportunity and stick your head through.”

Xia Sang, Xia Ju: “……”

“Pop!” Xia Qing Shu slapped his hands together, “Take a slap, “Then you can go to the car show and shop for properties.”

Xia Sang, Xia Ju: “Is this reliable?”

Xia Qing Shu: “The rich and the wealthy are powerful.”

Xia Sang asks again, “What if you get shot to death?”

Xia Qing Shu nodded to the question, “That’s why it’s important to be in good health!”

Xia Sang, Xia Ju: “……”

Xia Yubin: “……”

Although the eldest aunt was greedy for money, her IQ was still above average, watching her two sons being fooled, she pulled her son aside, “Even if we are in good health, then we must have a life to spend, son, don’t believe Qing Shu’s words.”

Xia Qingshu laughed, “Eldest Aunt is always the smartest.”

“We want to get him a new car. For one thing, he’s a manager, so it’s not convenient for him to take the underground train. You are a descendant of the Xia family, you should also contribute to the support of grandpa, right?”

Xia Sang and old man Xia nodded beside them. This was also the main purpose of their visit – to ask for money.

If they lent money to Uncle Xia’s family, it would be like beating a dog with a meat bag, there would be no return. The first uncle Xia used to borrow money every now and then, so when it comes to borrowing money, it’s a matter of familiarity, “We thought that we could get a million or eight hundred thousand…. from you.”

The eldest aunt of the family did not say to pay back, the “borrowed money” was supposed to be a hand out.

“Brother Xia Sang is now a manager! You’ve got the power!” After praising him, Xia Qingshu asked, “Auntie, isn’t the car of Brother Sang changed every day? It’s changed with a swipe of the phone.”

Xia Sang’s previous ride was a shared bike, he could change his bike anytime, today he rode a small blue bike and a small yellow bike, tomorrow he could change to a green orange bike, it was just a matter of one or two dollars, did he need to borrow money?

The eldest aunt laughed, “We want to change to a four-wheeled one.”

“You can’t come to me to borrow money,” Xia Qingshu said, “If you want to borrow money, you can go to online loans.”

He opened his mobile phone and searched for a random online loan advertisement, “Look, borrow money with credibility Sesame credit . The handling fees can be waived, how convenient, and you do not have to look at the face of the debtor.” Xia Qing Shu genuinely wanted to help them out and sent the advertisement to Xia Sang in passing.

The eldest aunt’s family lived on loans and was used to being rejected. She was ready to be rejected. She took off her face in advance and put it in her bag, and she was not ashamed to be ridiculed.

“The company’s money has been used to invest. Recently, the company’s turnover has been poor, so I’m afraid I’ll have to deduct my credit if I’m two days late.” The eldest aunt babbled, “I heard that reputation is still quite important, without the future to buy a house, one can not be loaned, can not take a plane, has a limit consumption and so on.”

“Reputation…it is very important.” Xia Qingshu whispered, “But does your family have it? If I want to get back the money I loan you, there is no place to deduct it, so giving you money is equivalent to giving it for nothing.”

Eldest Aunt: “……”

Eldest Auntie: I  want to KILL

Xia Lao Er saw that his own Miao cub spoke slowly and in a low voice, but did not fall behind, and pulled Li Xiao  to hide in the kitchen to cook. These people came in time for dinner and refused to leave until they had eaten and drunk enough.

Old man Xia was sulking, “Lao Er, what’s wrong with Qing Shu? It seems like a different person?”

“Grandpa, it’s useless to ask my dad, he doesn’t know.” Xia Qingshu laughed mischievously, “But the old lady from the neighbourhood committee downstairs does know, one word can wake up a dreamer, ah. Master, guess what the old lady said?”

Old man Xia: “What did she say?”

“She said that our family had just sent away the God of Plague, and that if the God of Plague was sent away, our whole family would be cured.” Xia Qing Shu had a face of awe-inspiring righteousness and deep thoughtful rigor: “At that time, it had just been found out that our whole family was not related to you by blood, so I thought, “Isn’t this a coincidence?”

Old man Xia: “……”

The old man could not please Xia Qinshu here, so he shut his mouth and did not speak.

Xia Yubin was smiling at the side, “Grandpa, I think Eldest Aunt is wrong, supporting Grandpa is Dad’s responsibility, it has nothing to do with Qing Shu, if you really want to look deeper, Xia Qing Shu is not a member of our family either, how can we let Qing Shu pay for the car?”

Xia Qingshu gave him a look, it was raining red from the sky, Xia Yubin was speaking for him?

As expected, as soon as Xia Yubin finished speaking, the eldest aunt pointed at Xia Qing Shu as if she had suddenly realized, “Aiya, you are not related to the second brother, Yubin is the biological child of the second brother and second sister, the land given to you by Uncle Li before, you are not qualified to inherit.”

After such a big detour, it finally came back around.

“That’s the Li family’s land, it’s none of your Xia family’s business.” Xia Qing Shu whispered, ” Xia Yubin didn’t even ask for it, so what’s your hurry?”

Eldest Aunt shouted, “I’m just trying to make things right for Yu Bin!”

Before he arrived, Xia Yubin had told them that if the land was in his hands, he would sell it and the money would buy a house for the family, as well as pay filial respect to the old man, to his eldest uncle and eldest aunt, and renovate the Xia family ancestral hall so that the Xia family lineage could be better passed on.

This child, Yu Bin, speaks well and is of high quality, worthy of being brought up by a large family. Unlike the little fool Xia Qing Shu, who speaks without eyes, sometimes when she hears him speak, she wants to find someone to beat him to death and have him whipped.

Seeing Xia Qingshu’s heart finally show, the eldest aunt’s anger rose and she rushed to the kitchen to call Xia Lao Er and Li Xiao out.

Xia Lao Er, tethered to his apron, looked at Xia Qing Shu and then at Xia Yubin.

Xia Yubin was at a loss, he spread his hands to show his innocence and pointed at his elder aunt, telling Xia Lao er that it was not his intention, he was forced to do it. Xia Qing Shu sat on the sofa laughing and giggling, naive and silly, his little legs crossed and shaking, looking unaware of the value of that land.

Before Xia Yubin was reborn, that piece of land was zoned as a special economic zone and was in the city centre, and the auction price could reach hundreds of millions of dollars. In the previous life, the land was still auctioned off, but it was after the death of Xia Qing Shu, and most of the money from the auction was taken away by old man Xia.

Xia Yubin didn’t want to take the idea of ​​this land at first. He was mainly afraid that after Xia Qingshu’s death,  Xia Lao Er would still be taken over by the old man Xia, and the land would be in his hands. He was helping Xia Lao Er and his family, who let them be his real parents. Besides, he was Li Xiaodong’s biological son, and he was the one who should have inherited his grandparents’ belongings. The twenty-five million was still owed to the Zhou family, Zhou Qian’s hurdle is passed, but Zhou Chuan is not easy to fool around with, and with this piece of land, it can be delayed for a while longer.

Xia Yubin recently felt that things were not going well.

In his last life, He Chan had not contacted him for a long time, and today he suddenly called him and asked him to pay back the money. The last time he spilled coffee on Chen Zhiyu’s clothes, the money he paid was borrowed from He Chen, who wasn’t short of money, so he didn’t know why he had to pay it back, and he had to do it urgently.

Chen Zhiyu, he couldn’t  even get close to.

There was some poor ghost who ate soft rice. After he was reborn, he avoided seeing him, so there was only one left… that was his trump card, and he didn’t plan to approach him for the time being

But he is really a bit short of money.

When old man Xia saw Xia Lao Er come out, he also spoke up, “Lao Er ah,  if you still have a bit of conscience, you can’t wrong Yu Bin.”

Xia Lao Er was so choked up by these words that he couldn’t speak. He was slow to react and didn’t know how to respond, standing in the middle of the living room with his hands and feet at a loss. In his heart, his miao cub was brought up by him personally and his affection ran deep, but Yu Bin was his own blood and had taken the initiative to come to him, and he had thought about treating him well. He also did not know that he had no conscience when he had done nothing.

Xia Yubin had an innocent face, if you look closely, you will find watery light in his eyes, he did not blame Xia Lao Er, instead he was very understanding, “Dad, I will not fight with Qing Shu ……”

The fact that he was such an understanding child, how can he not let people feel distressed.

Xia Lao Er put down his spatula, “That is the land given to the Miao cub by father-in-law and mother-in-law, I have no right to allocate it. Yu Bin, what do you want, dad will earn money to buy for you.”

First Uncle Xia said, “Alas, this heart is so biased that I can’t even see it.”

Eldest Aunt: “Second Brother, as a parent, the most important thing is that a bowl of water should be even.”

Xia Qingshu: “……”

All these years, old man Xia was most biased towards the first eldest son, Eldest Uncle Xia’s family, so he wondered how the two of them had the face to say such things.

Xia Qing Shu was about to speak up when Xia Lao Er spoke up, “How am I being biased? It’s not mine, it was given to Miao cub by his father-in-law and mother-in-law, I’m not qualified to take back what others have given to me to pass on.”

Li Xiao daughter-in-law also spoke up, “I am not qualified to take back what my parents gave away either.”

The eldest aunt added, “Older daughter-in-law, think about it, Uncle Li’s land was given to his grandson, and his original intention was to give it to a grandson who was related by blood, and if there had been a Qingqiu at the time, Qingqiu would have had a share of it all. If they knew that their family’s land had fallen into the hands of someone who was not related by blood, would they be able to rest easy under their nine springs?”

She used blood ties in every sentence, and before that she said that her birth grace was greater than her nurturing grace, and today it was clear that she would not let go until she achieved her goal.

Xia Qing Shu also found this issue tricky. If they were alive and not biased, every grandchild would have a share. Bloodline does play a big part in this kind of inter generational gift. Even if the land was to be given away, Xia Yubin would not be allowed to have it all to himself. Xia Qing Shu was prepared to divide the land into three parts, one for each person.

Xia Yubin also thought the same way, that he would at least get a third.

Li Xiaodui, who hadn’t spoken for half a day, stood up, pinched her apron and whispered, “Actually, I was also adopted, these three children are not related to my parents, and I didn’t get a share of their things in the end.”

Although Li Xiaozhu’s family was in the countryside, they were considered a large family. Her parents had left in a hurry, without a will, and the family’s old house and fields were all divided among the clan relatives, and the clan elders said that she was a daughter, moreover adopted, and not qualified to inherit. She was so aggrieved at the time that she was not even left with her mother’s most beloved bracelet. Fortunately, when her parents were alive, they passed that land to Xia Qing Shu, otherwise it would have been taken away by the clan relatives as well.

She was very disgusted with this kind of thing that forcibly disqualified someone from inheritance.

“Mom and Dad still have fifty acres of land and a set of old mansions, all of which were eventually divided up among the clan relatives, you guys are so eloquent, can you help me get it back?”

After hearing Li Xiaodong’s words, the eldest aunt was dumbfounded. After all, they were all bloodless, so what was the point of arguing?

Xia Qing Shu immediaetly went to Li Xiao, took out her phone and dialed one of the most hot-tempered relatives, “Grandpa Li, it’s Qing Shu, have you eaten? By the way, there’s a relative in my family who has a problem with the distribution of my grandparents’ inheritance, I’ll give her the phone.”

He turned on the speakerphone, and just handed the phone to his eldest aunt, there was a roar from the phone, “Where are you pheasant, what nonsense are you talking about, what does the distribution of my brother’s inheritance have to do with you, want to eat it? If you have nothing to do, you can come to our Lijiazhuang and take out the feces at the entrance of the village, [email protected]¥¥#@¥@***@**¥¥*#¥##”

The rest pf the words were full off profanity. The eldest aunt was scolded, and simply could not find the opportunity to interject.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Qing Shu backhandedly called Xia Jing, “Your adopted son has come to my house to fight over the property.”

Xia Yubin: “……”
