Chapter 912: A Heartless Family
"But my wife's pregnancy was safe. Grandpa hired a famous doctor to take care of it. How could something unexpected happen to her?" The eldest wife asked anxiously.
He is indeed the Zhuang family’s family doctor, and the eldest wife trusts him.
It looked like she wanted Guoran to find something to do when he had nothing to do.
Sure enough, she shook her head and smiled, "Madam, gynecology is not my field, I don't know about this. Let's just listen to the hospital's diagnosis. Whatever the doctor says is the cause, that's it."
The affairs of a wealthy family would only be more cruel than those in the former mansions, so she should not get involved in some matters.
"Madam, I still have to report to the Third Master. I'm leaving first."
Sure enough, he left as soon as he finished speaking, and it was obvious that he didn't want to say anything more to the first wife.
The eldest wife stood there and thought for a long time. If only her daughter-in-law had an accident, then it might really be An Jinyu's problem, but the third daughter-in-law also had an accident, which made it clear that someone was making trouble behind the scenes.
Who is the person behind this?
Isn't this obvious?
The eldest wife went straight to the old man and told him about the fearless daughter-in-law based on her guess, and then talked about the premature birth of the third daughter-in-law.
"Dad, this is very obvious. Someone wants our banker family to be extinct! You must take charge of our banker's children and completely clean up the family." The eldest wife said anxiously, her face flushed with anxiety.
The old man smoked a cigar and asked after a long while:
"Is Fearless Wife sure she can't have children?"
The eldest wife was stunned by the question. What she wanted now was revenge for her grandson and to drive that evil family out of the village. They had no legitimate reason to live in the village for so many years, and they were humble on the surface, but they did all kinds of evil things behind the scenes.
"Dad, you can't just stand by and watch this time. Last time, that damn girl Jiang Zhen turned down two of our Zhuang family's grandchildren. If nothing had happened to that child, the eldest grandson would be five or six years old now, and our Jinyu would not have been in poor health in the past few years. Four grandchildren, Dad, four..."
The second wife is the reincarnation of a jinx. If he were not from the second wife, Wu Wei would be the father of several children now, and An Jinyu would not be in the situation where she cannot have children today!
The old man took a puff of his cigarette and slowly exhaled the thick smoke. He glanced at his eldest daughter-in-law. She really treated Ji Wuwei as her own son.
He said impatiently:
"If your wife can't have children, divorce her immediately. The banker won't support useless people."
The eldest wife felt upset. She had long experienced her father-in-law's stubbornness and cold-bloodedness, but was the daughter-in-law of the Zhuang family who had just had a miscarriage last night going to be kicked out of the house today?
How can you really treat the daughter-in-law who marries into your family as a human being?
"Jinyu couldn't keep the baby, and the reason wasn't her. If there hadn't been such a miscarriage a few years ago..."
What the eldest wife meant was, if it wasn't for that suicidal little bastard from the second wife who caused the trouble, would the fearless daughter-in-law be like this?
But the old man stomped his cane on the spot and interrupted angrily:
"The Zhuang family could tolerate a single accident, but how many years have passed? Their heart is in their belly, and they can't even protect a child? Now that Wuwei's wife can't have children, the Zhuang family still wants to support this idler. Wuwei was adopted by you, and he's your son. Do you want the eldest branch to have no descendants, or do you want Wuwei to keep a mistress outside? Ah? Just because the Zhuang family feels sorry for the current granddaughter-in-law, you want her to eat, drink, and defecate at the Zhuang family for the rest of her life?"
The old man was furious. Even at his age, he was still scary when he got angry.
What people saw was not the demeanor of a great general, but the habits of a bandit leader and robber.
The eldest wife dared to be angry but not to speak out. Every word the old man said was meant to criticize the fearless daughter-in-law.
But the eldest wife was also very dissatisfied. Why can you, the banker, decide other people's lives so casually?
Do you think you are the king?
The eldest wife was stunned by the old man's yelling. She just felt pity for the fearless daughter-in-law. After all, she was also a woman. The women in the Zhuang family lived such a humble life. An Jinyu had just had a miscarriage. The eldest wife was not a heartless person and could not bear it.
But if she lets her son have no descendants just because she feels sorry for her daughter-in-law, then she will definitely become a bad person.
"Dad, do you mean that we won't pursue the matter of Jinyu's miscarriage this time?" The eldest wife asked, holding back her tears.
After all, he is the banker’s child!
"If this was really done intentionally by someone in the family, Wuwei will not be able to protect his children no matter how many wives he marries." The eldest wife took a breath and choked up.
The old man slowed down, took a step back and said:
"I will send someone to investigate this matter. Just keep an eye on Wuwei's affairs."
"dad……"
The eldest wife wanted to say, if this matter is delayed any longer, what can be found out?
"If you have nothing to do, pay more attention to people who are suitable for Wuwei. How old is Wuwei now? Is he really going to follow his uncle's path?" The old man scolded angrily.
Well, based on what Madam Xiang said, the old man just used it.
The old master now trusts Madam Xiang very much. He thinks that this woman has suffered aggrieved all her life and has been with him without seeking fame or fortune. It may be okay for two or three years, but it has been decades and her heart has not changed. How can the old master not trust her?
It is an undeniable fact that the old man has wronged the lady in this life. It cannot be changed or compensated.
Madam is gone, and those who are still alive should continue to live their lives, right?
He had already let his wife down and didn't want to let another one down.
The old man just treated this as his new wife after his original wife died.
But she was unwilling to give the position of lady to the second wife, and thus Madam Xiang and their children would suffer for the rest of their lives.
Life is almost over, and we want to cherish the last moments and give some comfort and compensation to those around us.
The eldest wife rushed in angrily, thinking that she could ask the old man for help. After all, the old man had specially held a banquet for this great-grandson yesterday, so he would not leave anything unasked if something went wrong.
Can……
"Yes, I will pay more attention."
The eldest wife left the old house in despair.
This is the rule of the Zhuang family. Even if her husband Zhuang Jinzhao comes back, he can't save anything.
Zhuang Jinzhao is a filial son. He has inherited his grandfather's irritable temper, but he is always the first to respond to what his grandfather says.
If the old man said that his grandson's wife was not good, Zhuang Jinzhao would never give any explanation.
The eldest wife is sad because her husband's heart has never been in this family. Who knows how hard it is for her to support a family alone?
If she is not careful, she will be kicked out of the house and her son will be left with nothing. What will her husband do?
The husband only has eyes for those soldiers, the local soldiers who are more important than his wife and son.

Guomu went to the hospital first and greeted Wancheng and Suohe outside the ward. Suohe pointed inside.
"The master just fell asleep less than two hours ago. Let him rest for a while." Suo He whispered.
Guo Mu nodded, "Well, it's not a big deal."
As long as it doesn't endanger the life of that gentleman, it is not important in Guomu's eyes.
"Nothing was found?" Wancheng asked.
