Chapter 679 No Such Relative
"He Chao, as an unworthy descendant of the He family, left Hejiazhuang for nearly 30 years without even returning. If it weren't for the news in the newspaper, we would have thought that He Chao had died outside. We have been worried for nothing all these years."
"When he was seven, his parents died in the south, and the He family raised him. I thought he was a man of conscience, but who knew that after he left Hejia Village, there was no news of him at all. When he comes back, I will teach him a lesson on behalf of his parents."
Tong Huaqiong looked at Uncle He coldly, the old man came here to show off.
These relatives from the outside came here to act like the bosses, just to take advantage of He Chao's absence to catch the Hong family first.
This old guy has been trying to stand on the moral high ground since he entered the door.
Mrs. Hong watched Uncle He's performance with a smile.
How dare you say that, raising a child from the age of seven to nine? What's more, you haven't even raised him yet, but you are bullying an orphan to death.
Otherwise, how could He Chao leave Hejiazhuang at the age of nine to make a living outside.
When the silver-haired woman saw that Uncle He was angry, she quickly spoke up to persuade him.
This was also the strategy they had discussed before they came. The eldest uncle of the He family took the lead in playing the white-faced role, while the silver-haired woman, who was also the second uncle of the He family, took the lead in playing the red-faced role.
"Don't be angry, uncle. Chao'er is a junior after all. As elders, why should we bother about a junior? When you mentioned Chao'er at home, we were always worried that he wouldn't have enough food or clothes to eat outside. Now we know that he has married and built such a big house, and now he has made achievements on the border. We should be happy."
The silver-haired woman was not trying to persuade him at all; she was trying to show the Hong family that they had not forgotten He Chao for even a single day.
Uncle He's face remained sullen as he said, "It's not possible that he has no news at all for so many years."
The silver-haired woman looked at Hong lovingly and said, "Daughter-in-law Chao'er, don't be upset. Your uncle has a bad temper and he is too worried and misses Chao'er, so what he said was unpleasant to hear. You don't know that when he heard the news about Chao'er, he was so happy that he couldn't sleep for several days and nights."
The so-called aunts and sisters-in-law next to them kept agreeing, proving that the He family cared about He Chao.
Hong was too lazy to say a word.
The silver-haired woman frowned slightly. This was different from what she expected.
At this time, Mrs. Hong should not be wiping her tears, but be thankful that she has the support of her husband's family.
They found out that she was just an orphan, so how come she was not moved at all by the arrival of her in-laws?
Tong Huaqiong sneered and said, "Madam, you came up here to accuse, criticize, and confess, but you haven't answered Sister Hong's question yet?"
The silver-haired woman and Uncle He were stunned. What should they say in reply?
Seeing that they knew the truth but pretended to be ignorant, Tong Huaqiong asked, "He Chao has no relatives, why are you pretending to be He Chao's family?"
Hong looked at the silver-haired woman with a puzzled expression, and asked sincerely in her eyes, indicating that Tong Huaqiong was her substitute.
The silver-haired woman was so angry that she almost died. It turned out that after all she said, Mrs. Hong didn't recognize her as her in-laws at all.
Impersonating?
They and He Chao are within the five degrees of mourning, so aren't they a family?
Uncle He's cane knocked loudly again, and he tossed his sleeves and said, "Didn't I just tell you that I'm He Chao's uncle?"
Tong Huaqiong continued: "You said you are He Chao's uncle, so you are He Chao's uncle? How do you prove it? Then I can also say that I am He Chao's great-grandmother."
"Hehehe."
Mrs. Zhao and Aunt Qin couldn't help laughing out loud.
Tong Da Jiao is really amazing.
Uncle He was choked by Tong Huaqiong's words and rolled his eyes.
How else can you prove it?
They are indeed members of the He family. He Chao is a descendant of the He family, so they are naturally relatives.
"Asshole! He Chao's last name is He, and my last name is He too. He Chao is a descendant of my He family. How else can you prove it?"
Hong looked at the eldest uncle of the He family and said, "He Chao and I have been married for so many years, and we have never met any relatives. How can I believe you if you come and say you are my family? Otherwise, how can you come to recognize your relatives today and he comes to recognize his relatives tomorrow? There are so many people with the surname He in the world, can they all come to recognize their relatives?"
Zhao Shi lost no time in agreeing, "If everyone comes to recognize you as their father or grandfather, you don't even need to get married and have children, you can just have a house full of children and grandchildren."
These words were so hurtful that Uncle He was so angry that he could hardly hold his walking stick.
I thought it would be easy to control Hong, an orphan girl, while He Chao was away, but I hit a wall at the first hurdle.
They don't recognize it at all.
It would be easy for her to deal with it alone, but He Chao's boss is there.
The silver-haired lady of the He family's second aunt also had a very unhappy expression on her face.
The main purpose of their visit today was to take advantage of He Chao's absence to coax Hong into recognizing Zhuzi as her adopted son.
From now on, Zhuzi will not only live a life of luxury with He Chao, but will also be able to take over all of He Chao's huge fortune.
She absolutely could not let her plan be disrupted.
"Chao'er's daughter-in-law, don't listen to the instigation of outsiders. We are your in-laws. We heard that you and Chao'er have been married for so many years but have no children, so we came here specially to support you. If you don't believe us, you have to believe Chao'er. Even if Chao'er is here, he has to call me second aunt." said the silver-haired woman.
Others echoed.
Who was Hong trying to appease? She was afraid that He Chao would not dare to come to their house easily.
Hong said, "I don't have any in-laws. My mother-in-law and father-in-law died in the south when He Chao was a child, and He Chao has been an orphan since then. Did you see that He Chao had made meritorious contributions in the resistance report, so you pretended to be He Chao's family and came to claim kinship with him? I advise you to give up this idea."
The eldest uncle of the He family stood up and said dissatisfiedly: "Since ancient times, marriages have been arranged by parents and matchmakers. Chao'er has no parents, so his marriage needs the approval of the clan. You entered the He family without the approval of the clan, did not worship the ancestors, did not bow in the hall of my He family, and did not offer tea to the elders of the He family. You are not considered a daughter-in-law of the He family."
"If you run, you will be my concubine. You are not my He family's daughter-in-law, so our He family is naturally not your in-laws."
Hong slammed the table and pointed at the old man angrily, "I gave you face, didn't I?"
Tong Huaqiong didn't hold the cup of tea steadily and threw it directly at Uncle He. The scalding hot tea scalded Uncle He and made him scream.
Tong Huaqiong said coldly: "You old man, do you really think you are a musical instrument? Who are you showing off for? If you don't get out of here, I'll put you in jail."
Tong Huaqiong's threat was obvious.
Uncle He was not afraid at all.
Report to the official, report to the official!
By reporting to the authorities they can better prove who is the He family member.
The government doesn't care about the clan's affairs.
"He Chao is a member of my He family. Everything in this house belongs to the He family. Even if He Chao acknowledges you as his wife, you have been married for so many years without giving birth to a child. The clan can hold a ancestral hall to divorce you." The eldest uncle of the He family threatened Hong.
This was the killer idea they discussed at home.
Since He Chao is outside, the He family can divorce Hong without going through He Chao.
He originally wanted to talk nicely, but the Hong family didn't give them face, so don't blame them for being rude.
Firstly, Hong was disrespectful to her elders, which was considered unfilial; secondly, she had no children, which was considered as a failure to produce any offspring. These two reasons were enough to divorce her.
