Chapter 872 To Be Someone's Son for Free
Looking at Yang Guangzong, who was gloating beside him, Ye's father said, "Old Zhang, do you think he has good intentions? He's your son, but isn't he still after your house?"
"That's right, Lao Zhang, that rascal is really bad, don't let him fool you."
Yang Guangzong became agitated and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about? Uncle Zhang and I... my father have lived here for over a year. He knows very well how I treat him. As for this house..."
He thought that Old Zhang was all alone, so if he didn't keep it for himself, who else could he give it to?
"He can give it to whomever he wants; I don't care about his house."
Old Zhang was deeply moved. "Really? You're not just going to be my son for the house?"
Having come this far, Yang Guangzong could only grit his teeth and say, "Dad, I've lived here for over a year. I remember how good you were to me, how you introduced me to a job. I'm your son, but I don't want to see you die so lonely."
Old Zhang slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, that's enough. In a few days, I'll go to the community and get a few people to do a notarization. After I'm gone, all my property will be yours. This house... you can continue living in this house after I die, I'll let you live in it until it's gone."
Hmm, that sounds a bit odd.
It doesn't seem strange at all.
The meaning seems to be roughly the same.
Yang Guangzong was overjoyed, but he didn't show it on his face. He continued to wave his hand and said, "Father, I'm not here for your money."
Old Zhang held his hand and said, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about these things anymore. You made sure I wasn't lonely in my final days, so I won't treat you unfairly. I can't take these things with me, but I'll definitely give you what's rightfully mine."
Yang Guangzong was extremely excited.
Ye's parents on the other side turned green with rage.
That damned brat, he really managed to ruin his family!
Old Zhang and Yang Guangzong poured out their hearts to each other, putting on a beautiful show of fatherly love and filial piety.
Finally, they didn't forget to drive away Ye's father and mother.
Yang Guangzong didn't have the right to drive them away before, but now it's different. He's become Old Zhang's son, so he naturally has the right to stop the two of them from living here.
"My father just told you to leave, so why aren't you two leaving yet?"
The two looked at each other.
After a moment, they both understood what the other meant.
Father Ye smiled and said, "Son-in-law, what are you saying? We are your parents-in-law, Brother Zhang. Now that our son-in-law has become your son, we are in-laws. How can we drive away our in-laws?"
Ok?
Now, Lao Zhang and Yang Guangzong are looking at each other in bewilderment.
Yang Guangzong's mind raced.
She thought to herself that he wasn't good enough for Ye Xiaotong before because he was poor.
Things are different now. Once he inherits Old Zhang's house and it's demolished, he'll have a huge sum of 200,000 yuan.
Then he's a good match for Ye Xiaotong.
The two old folks must have thought the same thing, so they started acknowledging him as their son-in-law again.
Thinking of this, Yang Guangzong nodded to Old Zhang.
Old Zhang understood and smiled, "What you say is true, in-law. So, what about my son and your daughter...?"
"The past was all a misunderstanding. Don't worry, we will definitely make them remarry."
No one expected things to develop this way.
Ye Xiaotong thought that letting things cool off for a few days would cause the three of them to turn against each other and fight fiercely.
Unexpectedly, the last few days took a dramatic turn.
The next day, as usual, Lao Zhang called Chen Bingzhi.
"Boss, this is the last time I'm calling you."
Chen Bingzhi was taken aback. "Old Zhang, what's wrong?"
“Alas, I am sick, I have cancer, and I don’t have long to live. Besides… Yang Guangzong has become my son, I can’t do this kind of thing anymore.”
"what?"
This news shocked Chen Bingzhi to his core.
"Old Zhang, I've come to see you. Let's talk about this slowly."
Old Zhang gave him the address and waited for him at the same spot.
He told Lin Yuyao that he had to go out for a while.
He looked extremely anxious.
"What happened?"
"It's just..." Thinking that he didn't know much, he added, "I'll tell you when I get back."
After speaking, he ran away.
He drove fast and soon saw Old Zhang squatting under the phone booth smoking.
After Chen Bingzhi went over, he directly removed his pipe and said, "You've already developed cancer from smoking, and you're still smoking?"
Old Zhang wiped away his tears and said, "Anyway, it's incurable. The doctor said I can eat whatever I want and drink whatever I want. I'm going to die whether I smoke or not."
Chen Bingzhi: "..."
"Alright, alright, get in the car."
It was almost lunchtime, so Chen Bingzhi took him directly to a nearby restaurant and got him a private room.
"Eat whatever you want, it's on me."
Old Zhang frowned when he saw the prices, but then he thought that he had never eaten anything good in his life and that he wouldn't live much longer, so he shamelessly ordered a few expensive dishes.
After ordering, I felt quite embarrassed and seemed a bit awkward.
Chen Bingzhi glanced at it casually a few times and then handed it to the waiter to serve the dish.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Old Zhang then told him the whole story.
Yang Guangzong became his son.
The couple wanted to recognize him as their younger brother and asked their children and grandchildren to burn paper money for him; they told him everything.
Chen Bingzhi laughed when he heard this.
"You said that the Ye couple had ulterior motives? I think that Yang guy is about the same. Otherwise, if it weren't for your land, do you think he would have become your son? What kind of good person is he?"
“I know, but I…sigh! I’ve been all alone my whole life, and in the end, I just want someone to be with me. Everyone else has a house full of children and grandchildren, and I want one too. It’s fine if he lies to me, as long as he can take good care of me in my final days, I’m willing to be lied to.”
Hearing him say this, Chen Bingzhi felt a little sorry for him.
At the same time, the thought of how many benefits Yang Guangzong could gain made him both angry and amused.
"How much is your land worth?"
“I’ve asked around, and if it’s going to be demolished and redeveloped, it’ll be worth this much.” He held out one hand.
"Two hundred thousand?"
Old Zhang nodded.
"No wonder Yang Guangzong was willing to be your son."
Hearing him say that, Old Zhang felt a little guilty.
Chen Bingzhi noticed this little action.
"Old Zhang, are you really willing to give it to him? You know perfectly well that he's not a good person."
"This..." Old Zhang stammered, but finally spoke.
"Actually, that house and that piece of land are not mine."
Chen Bingzhi: "Huh? If it's not yours, whose is it?"
Old Zhang: "It originally belonged to my parents. There are five of us siblings, and it should have been divided equally among us. However, they all disliked the dilapidated house and didn't want it. In the end, we agreed that the eldest brother would get the house, and the others would get money. With the house and the things left by our parents, each of us siblings got five yuan."
"Does the house belong to your eldest brother alone?"
"Yes, my older brother was transferred to work in Beicheng many years ago and never came back. He said he would lend me the house and I could stay as long as I wanted."
Chen Bingzhi took a deep breath.
