Chapter 274 Guo Siman came under the guise of searching for her relatives.
Xiaoqi has decided that from now on, her parents, sisters, and nephew will be the models for the sample garments in her factory's external promotions! Her father is tall and has a strong presence; her mother and sisters are natural clothes hangers, all with fair skin, beautiful faces, and long legs—it would be a shame if they weren't models!
She also designed many styles of children's clothing. The styles for baby boys were designed according to the characteristics of her two nephews. When it comes to choosing child models, are there any more beautiful and suitable than these two kids?
In the end, Xiaoqi's plan only succeeded halfway. Apart from her two younger sisters being willing to model and earn some pocket money, and her two nephews being obedient and liking to have their pictures taken, the rest of her family members wouldn't cooperate with her! The reason was simple: they didn't want to become public figures and be constantly watched!
Forget it, she'll just hire models from now on! To prevent the people who agreed from backing out at the last minute, she even signed a contract with all four of them in a very serious manner!
Grandpa Tong retired long ago; he's over seventy and in better health than before. Grandpa Li hasn't retired yet, but he's also applied for retirement, preparing to hand over his position to a younger, more capable person.
The two elderly people often practice health-preserving boxing together in Tong Yuheng's small courtyard, drink a little wine and play chess. Most importantly, they watch their two children running around and truly enjoy a leisurely life of playing with their grandchildren.
They talked about the current situation, and everything was developing in a better direction, with many people from overseas, Taiwan, and Hong Kong coming to look for their relatives.
This reminded Grandpa Tong of his half-brother Guo Qirun, who had died in prison for participating in enemy activities, and his biological father Guo Yunkai, who only knew how to harm him!
The father spent his last two years in loneliness and misery. He even knelt down and begged his ex-wife to take him in, but his mother never saw him again.
But his mother said he was her biological son, and seeing his father starve to death on the streets was a hindrance to his descendants' fortunes. So Tong Anfu rented him a very small house and had the shop assistants bring him food every day, rarely visiting him. Tong Anfu didn't even let his two children acknowledge him as their father. A grandfather like that was better off without!
Guo Yunkai favored his concubine over his wife. Because his mother took most of the Guo family's assets with her when she divorced him, he treated his mother like an enemy. He never thought that his mother was the one who maintained the last face of the Guo family, and that the money was earned by his mother with her dowry over more than ten years of hard work!
What can he do? All he does is squander money! If it weren't for the fact that his mother had arranged a marriage with him since childhood, and the Tong family had stuck to their promise and refused to break off the engagement, how could his mother have married this good-for-nothing spendthrift?
It's easy to imagine that Tong Anfu's relationship with his father was not good. Guo Yunkai was an alcoholic and insane man, often going to the outer residence he bought for his concubine to curse loudly, because that woman had taken away his illegitimate son and the little property he had left, abandoning him!
He smoked opium, gambled, and spent his time with a group of dissolute and impoverished nobles, engaging in cockfighting, dog walking, and indulging in pretentious and lazy pursuits! No matter how much he loved his concubine, she couldn't possibly watch him squander the family fortune and live a life of poverty with him! Abandoning him was simply the right choice.
Guo Yunkai truly loved that woman, so the only bad thing he wouldn't do was patronize prostitutes. So, his divorce from his ex-wife was just a loss of face, but being abandoned by his concubine broke his heart and turned him into a true walking corpse.
Haha, so he inherited some of his scumbag father's traits, he's hopelessly in love! This unlucky gene of Guo Yunkai is really strong, passed down from generation to generation! It seems that Guo Qirun doesn't really look like his biological son.
His mother was kind enough to leave this scumbag father a lot of property. If he hadn't courted death, he could have lived a life of comfort until after liberation.
His half-brother, Guo Qirun, is good for nothing and has grown up to be a carbon copy of his scumbag father. I bet his concubine's life won't be any better! It's all because she raised such a good-for-nothing son!
When he last saw Guo Yunkai, he was still cursing and swearing at the woman who abandoned him, calling his mother heartless, and calling him an unfilial son! He even said that he had treasures that he would leave to Guo Yunkai if he was filial!
Tong Anfu knew he was talking nonsense! If he had money, he would have been showing off long ago, why would he be relying on him for retirement? How could he talk nonsense about having a treasure? Isn't that just making people covet it? What a son-ruining bastard!
He was furious at that time and argued with him for a while. He even said that if he said anything that would bring disaster to the family again, he would burn him alive and scatter his ashes after he died!
Seeing his son so angry, the old man stopped talking nonsense. One day, he got drunk and collapsed by the roadside, where he froze to death! Tong Anfu didn't cremate him; instead, he bought a coffin, hired two people to bury him next to the Guo family ancestral graves, and erected a tombstone!
However, his tombstone and grave were both dug up, probably because someone wanted to find some so-called treasure clues. At that time, he was still being sent to the countryside, so how could he care about his scumbag father's grave? A couple of years ago, I occasionally thought of going to check on it, but his grave had long been leveled and planted with crops!
Tong Yuheng later investigated the descendants of Guo Qirun's branch of the family. Among Tong Jiahui's generation were a man and a woman, one a henchman and the other a prostitute, neither of them faring well. Their daughter was dead, and their son was crippled, having been slashed during a fight.
Guo Qirun's grandchildren, the only one in Tong Yuheng's generation, are girls named Guo Siman. She chose that name herself when she grew up. She was cunning and ruthless at a young age, a bad seed!
Tong Anfu: Hehe, my life is almost over, and I'm living a very comfortable life now!
None of the concubines and illegitimate sons favored by their scumbag father met a good end. I wonder if they will be loving and affectionate in the underworld, or resentful and fighting each other!
He wanted to burn more paper money for his mother so that she could live in a villa, drive luxury cars, and wear gold and silver on the other side, and look down on them from a high position!
Some people just can't resist a little encouragement. Guo Qirun's granddaughter heard that life was easy on the mainland, so she dressed herself up and changed her appearance to cause trouble!
Guo Siman came under the guise of searching for relatives, presenting herself as a manager of a large company, responsible for investment investigations in mainland China. Armed with a stack of fake documents, she went directly to the relevant department, claiming she was looking for her great-uncle, Tong Anfu.
Because of her status as an investor, some companies seeking investment opportunities approached her to help them, and they quickly found the original residence of the Tong family. Tong Yuheng had previously demolished it, but it had been rebuilt several years ago.
Tong Yuheng has already transferred the house to his cousin Yuchen, and the house is in his name. As Tong Anfu's eldest grandson, no one has any objections to him inheriting the old house. Tong Jiahui and Tong Jiaming were both born here, and Yuchen will marry Zhang Xinxin here in the future, and their child will also be born here.
