Chapter 874 Retreat as Advance
Pei Yue returned to the office after lunch and was about to take a nap for a while, when someone knocked on the door as soon as he sat down: "Please come in."
It was Tan Xinghua who pushed the door and came in. Pei Yue frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"
After Tan Xinghua closed the door, he sat down across from him with a grin, and then said with a smile: "The two conditions you mentioned before, the second condition is agreed by the old man, but the first condition is not agreed by the old man. But Aunt Qu realized that she Let Tan Xingli and Tan Xinglian apologize to you instead."
Pei Yue's face immediately sank: "He disagrees?"
Tan Xinghua shook his head and said, "Third brother, the old man has realized that he was wrong a long time ago, otherwise he would not have let us know your identity. It's just that he is stubborn and unwilling to admit it. Third child, the old man will get used to it all his life, so you just take it With the gun on his head, it is impossible for him to admit his mistake to you."
"Third brother, I know you are uncomfortable, and I am also very angry. I wanted to argue with you and him, but he is not in good health. He suffered injuries from the war and now has high blood pressure and high blood fat. Last year, he became very ill after a serious illness. I can't be stimulated anymore, otherwise I might die. So no matter how angry I am, I don't dare to quarrel with him."
Pei Yue fell silent when he heard the words that he was wounded in battle.
Seeing that he was silent, Tan Xinghua mentally typed out the manuscript and said, "I don't want to hide it from you. I have been against the old man since I was a child. When I was young, I often hid outside and never came back. Whether it was marriage or divorce, he would always call me. I scolded him bloody. After the divorce, I didn’t go home to see him for six years because I was angry, but one day my elder brother called and told me that the old man had fallen ill. I went back to Sijiu City and looked at him in a coma I was so panicked that I regretted not going home to see him more."
"Old man, he was wrong about what happened ten years ago, but he just used the wrong method and didn't give up on you. If he really gave up on you, he should transfer you to some corner of the border, not to Forty-Nine City Follow Uncle Liao. He is afraid that you will be framed again, so he has to look under his nose!"
He knew many people in Forty-Nine City, and Pei Yue looked so much like him. People who have a good relationship with him will definitely tell him when they see Pei Yue, and they will find out when the time comes.
Pei Yue didn't speak. When he was transferred back to Sijiu City, he was escorted by Liao Buda, and his work did not suffer any more difficulties.
Tan Xinghua sighed heavily, and said: "Third son, I know you have suffered a lot these years. If you really can't let go of the past, then deny it and let him regret it. It's just that the old man is seventy-four this year. , with various physical problems, last year he lived in the hospital for more than half a month, and he will pass away someday. If you don’t admit it now, you won’t be able to see him when he’s gone. I’m afraid you will regret it.”
If the old man had let go and left, he would have regretted it for the rest of his life, so he didn't want the third child to leave such regrets.
Pei Yue wanted to say that he would not regret it, but the words stuck in his throat and he couldn't say it. After all, Mr. Tan is different from Pei Xuehai. Although he didn't recognize him back then, he secretly did many things for him. Unlike Pei Xuehai, who ignored him and made him look like a wild child when he was a child, and oppressed him when he grew up.
Having said everything that should be said, Tan Xinghua just looked at him and waited for a reply.
After a long time, Pei Yue said in a hoarse voice: "Xiao Shao said to let her kowtow to admit his mistake, firstly to force him to admit his mistake and secondly to speak out for my injustice. I don't need her to apologize, and I don't want to see her in the future."
God knows that his heart was in his throat just now, so he was afraid that Pei Yue would refuse. It's just that the eldest brother confessed that it was too late, so he resisted and didn't continue talking.
Pei Yue said again: "I don't want her to apologize, but I have one more condition."
"You said, as long as we can do it, we will agree."
Pei Yue said that he can change his surname, but only with his mother's surname: "He has many sons anyway, so he doesn't miss me. My mother gave birth to me, and I will take his surname to continue the incense for the Mu family."
In fact, he doesn't care about incense at all, and he deliberately said that because he didn't want Mr. Tan.
Tan Xinghua groaned, thought for a while and said, "Third son, if you want to continue the incense line with your mother's surname as the Mu family, you must be very pleased that your mother is alive in the sky. It's just that the cousin adopted the youngest son under the name of the uncle last month. Yes, Grandpa already has incense. The child is fifteen years old this year and will graduate from high school next year."
He only mentioned to Tian Shao that he wanted to change his mother's surname. Pei Yue believed that Tian Shao would not tell others, so it could only be a coincidence: "Why did he suddenly adopt the youngest son under the name of uncle?"
Tan Xinghua sneered. Said: "You may not know that our grandfather used to run a textile factory and a department store. He was very rich. Later, my grandfather donated all his family property to support the Anti-Japanese War, and only left a house for each of the three uncles. Some time ago All those things were confiscated in 2009. In February, the public returned two houses. Our cousin came to us after he knew about it, and told us that my grandfather begged him before he died, saying that if my uncle couldn’t find one, he hoped to adopt a child to my uncle. To continue the incense of his house under his name. My eldest brother and I don't mind arguing with him about this, so we agreed."
Actually, the brothers are not willing to give things to each other. It is just that one is in politics and the other is in the army. It is not appropriate to argue. The other party is also willing to adopt the youngest son under the name of Uncle Mu, and all the property should be given to him due to emotion and reason.
Pei Yue investigated the matter of the Mu family a few years ago, but he didn't pay attention to it recently, but he didn't expect such an accident to happen.
Tan Xinghua looked at him with a gloomy face and said, "Third son, it doesn't matter whether you change your surname or not. People outside know that we are brothers. But it's fine if you change your surname to Mu. They will think you want to fight for family property! There's no need to fight for this little thing. arouse criticism."
Tian Shao can make so much money, there is no need to affect his reputation because of this incident. After all, their occupations are quite special, so it's better to keep a low profile.
Pei Yue is not afraid of others' criticism, but this uncle's family sounds more difficult. Tian Shao likes to be clean, and dislikes these difficult relatives very much.
Tan Xinghua felt tired when he saw that he didn't speak again, and couldn't talk to his elder brother, but he didn't expect this younger brother to talk less. In the future, when the three brothers sat together, he still had to find a topic.
Pei Yue said: "Then change back to Tan!"
He loathes the current surname. There was no way to do it before, but now that I have the opportunity, I must change it. Changing his surname is tantamount to announcing to everyone that he is not Pei Xuehai's son. From now on, sending some pension money every month will be the best of benevolence, and I will no longer be pointed at my nose and scolded for being unfaithful and unfilial.
Tan Xinghua happily said three good things in succession. After nearly two years of grinding, the dust finally settled, it was not easy.
