Chapter 116 Understanding the Reasons for Severing Relationships

   "I know about this." Pei Qisheng put away the chess pieces and dragged the bench to their side.

   He summed it up in one sentence: "In order to invest, your father sold the family's antiques behind Uncle Lin's back."

   "What antique?"

   "It looks like a porcelain vase or something."

  Lin Jiao frowned.

   She recalled the frequent quarrels between her parents in those poor days, and felt a little wrong: "Where did the money for his antiques go?"

   "I lost." Pei Zhen restrained the emotions in his eyes.

   He blew off the tea leaves posted on the rim of the cup: "His first investment, Old Man Lin took half of his savings, but he lost all of it."

   Lin Jiao made a bold guess: "The second time Grandpa refused to pay, so he sold the antique?"

"right."

   "Finally redeemed?"

   Pei Zhen nodded: "Old man Lin took the loan for the house in the old city to redeem it, and it should be paid off after so many years."

   Thinking of the suffering Lin Kanglu has endured, Lin Jiao can't wait to scold her father: "It's too much for him to do this."

   "It's all over." Pei Zhen patted her shoulder soothingly, and said warmly, "He's not as out of place now as he used to be."

   "How many years have you seen him?"

   "No, I heard what your elder brother said."

  Lin Jiao responded lightly, "My dad also talked to me last time, and he said he wanted to be filial to grandpa."

   "He never went back to see it?"

   "I have seen it, but grandpa refused to pay attention to him."

   "Old man Lin is terrible." Pei Zhen pouted as soon as he remembered his stubborn appearance: "I'll have a good chat with him tomorrow."

   "Can you talk to him?"

   "Definitely." As long as he found Old Man Lin's 'house', how could he have no reason to say anything?

   Pei Qisheng saw through his thoughts at a glance: "Are you going to stay at Uncle Lin's house?"

   "What is Lai?" Pei Zhen picked up a peanut and hit him on the forehead: "The air in the countryside is good, can I stay a few more days?"

   Pei Zhi raised his thin lips: "I'm afraid you won't live long."

   "Why can't you live long?"

   "Grandpa lives in a very remote place. He usually has to pick his own vegetables. Can you go to the fields with your legs?"

   "You underestimate your father too much!" Pei Zhen threw his cane aside and got up quickly.

   He patted his thigh: "I'm not disabled."

   "Dare you pretending to be lame?" A mocking voice attracted everyone's attention.

  Chu Kui leisurely walked to the living room.

   He is about the same height as Pei Zhen, and he looks energetic, not like an old man in his seventies.

   "I wasn't lame!" Pei Zhen stepped to the right and sat in front of Bai Zi and waited for him to come over.

   "Then you use a cane all day long?"

   "Do you mind me? Hurry up and get down."

  Chu Kui just wanted to slap him, when he saw Lin Jiao's figure in the corner of his eye and smiled again: "Here comes Jiaojiao."

  The speed at which he changed his face was extremely fast, and the gentleness he showed was also in contrast to the previous one.

   "Uncle Chu." Lin Jiao put the peeled peanuts on the small table beside the chessboard: "You can eat some."

   "Okay." Chu Kui took two to taste.

  When he picked up Heizi at Pei Zhen's urging, he realized that something was wrong: "What do you call me?"

   "Uncle Chu."

   "You and Pei Zhi got along?"

   "The two of them have been together for several months." Pei Zhen swallowed a sip of tea: "Have you talked to Chu Yuzhou?"

  Chu Kui's ability to accept is relatively strong, except for the initial surprise, there is no other reaction.

   He left a son: "Talk about it."

   "With whom?"

   "I didn't ask, I'm too lazy to care about him."

   "Is Yuzhou at home?" Pei Zhi held the hand he hadn't touched all morning and rubbed it lightly.

"exist."

   "Then let's go take a look."
