Chapter 508: Chapter 508 Proposal
Gong Ruini knew Zhuge Zhi had issues with his relatives that had to be addressed, but she didn’t expect their relationship to be so terrible.
Even though they had already split the family, these so-called relatives kept coming around, which Gong Ruini thought was somewhat similar to the Gong family’s situation.
The Zhuge family has fallen out of favor now, but for decades they were a family with some reputation, a family that cared about their image, but now...
Gong Ruini doesn’t care how Zhuge Zhi handles these disputes with his relatives; she’s just worried these relatives will direct their dissatisfaction at Ban Xia and them.
Not to mention that these people are locals from Beijing, they might think about how to deal with Ban Xia and the others, considering they are just kids.
Gong Ruini is really concerned that these Zhuge family members might do something inhumane for a bit of money.
So what if the house is valuable? Could it be more valuable than the shares of Shiyu Hall in Ban Xia and their names in the future?
Regarding how the master plans to solve this issue, as a servant, Cai Xingjuan has little to say. Had it not been for the master mentioning it before, plus these relatives being too excessive, Cai Xingjuan wouldn’t have spoken up.
"Grandma Cai, I just want to know if they come often." Zhao Guangran was very angry; his elder brother was the first-born and couldn’t act rashly, but Zhao Guangran was different, as he came across as a rash person.
"And whether my younger brother and others often suffer because of this." Although the family isn’t as rich as Grandpa Zhuge’s household, they’re not here for handouts. If this situation can’t be resolved, won’t Zhuge’s so-called relatives come over next time to leech off them?
If they were truly leeching, Zhao Guangran could accept it, but they weren’t those kinds of people.
Seeing Zhao Guangran standing up for the twins with bold reasoning made Zhan Banxia and the others admire him tremendously, which made Zhao Guangran proud.
Cai Xingjuan awkwardly wondered what she could say, as the master hadn’t spoken too harshly, and there were truly the master’s direct nephews and nieces among those people.
"No." Zhuge Zhi hadn’t spoken harshly before, considering they were relatives, never expecting them to speak so excessively.
Moreover, Zhuge Zhi didn’t expect them to pay so much attention to him. If they weren’t watching constantly, how did so many people rush over the day after Ban Xia and others moved in?
"Ban Xia, don’t worry; Grandpa promises they won’t bother you." Seeing Ban Xia’s reddened eyes, it was clear he had cried a lot, prompting Zhuge Zhi to rub his head.
"Xuran, don’t worry; I’ll discuss this with your parents."
"I didn’t consider the situation carefully this time." Zhuge Zhi sincerely apologized to Zhao Xuran.
The apology left Zhao Xuran, who was contemplating how to discuss the matter with his parents, stunned.
Such an apology seemed a bit too grand. "Grandpa Zhuge, it’s okay; after all, there are a few relatives."
As soon as Zhao Xuran spoke, he realized the situation was unfavorable. Although those people were unpleasant, they were still Zhuge Zhi’s relatives. What was he saying with his comment?
Were there only a few of such relatives? Thinking of those relatives, Zhuge Zhi’s expression soured, "There aren’t just one or two of such relatives; if you encounter them in the future, just ignore them completely."
Zhuge Zhi really doesn’t understand why these people are so shameless. If they had such determination, why not focus on learning something? "They’re always thinking of ways to mooch benefits, and not even a few children among them are sensible."
Similarly, Gong Ruini and the others have no money, but they contemplate how to earn it. Yet, how do those people act, bringing elderly and children to complain at the doorstep.
Initially, Zhuge Zhi would provide some aid. One shouldn’t let the elderly and children suffer, right? In hindsight, he considered himself a big fool, not realizing the underlying issue.
As long as they got money from him, they never thought about putting effort into earning it themselves. Moreover, since he owns a house, these people would definitely fixate on it. Thinking of this saddened Zhuge Zhi tremendously.
Recalling many matters, although no tears flowed, his eyes were so red.
The sight of Zhuge Zhi made Gong Ruini quite scared. She really didn’t know what happened to Zhuge Zhi, why he suddenly started crying. Was it because of those so-called family members?
"Forget it; why bother mentioning so much? Since they are adults, let them take responsibility themselves; always relying on me is absurd." Zhuge Zhi stated he won’t engage in such foolishness anymore.
Given that he never received thanks despite giving them money, it’s better not to give anymore.
Gong Ruini wondered why the Zhuge family members were so reluctant to be independent, to work hard, when they had Zhuge Zhi. But why did they react so intensely this time?
Gong Ruini truly couldn’t understand. Zhuge Zhi had helped many, yet did they target those people? Not at all,
Hmph, they surely believed since Ban Xia and others were kids, they could bully them hard, not expecting to step on such a tough spot.
"Ban Xia, Zisu, do you want to be my grandchildren?" Initially, Zhuge Zhi planned to wait a bit longer, but he was unwilling to wait any longer now.
Those people always thought he would leave things for Ban Xia and them. Then why not let some relatives know, after they’ve acted foolishly, even though future encounters might allow chatting, it’s impossible to return to the past.
Previous so-called aid would not be possible anymore, money would be better spent on his grandchildren.
They used to call him Grandpa. Gong Ruini found it strange; wait, was he planning to acknowledge them as kin? Gong Ruini speculated the likelihood was high.
But is it really good for Ban Xia and them to be Zhuge Zhi’s grandchildren? Gong Ruini wasn’t sure whether this was beneficial; long-term, of course, it’s good. Even short-sighted individuals would agree because Zhuge Zhi’s connections would favor Ban Xia and the others in the future. From this perspective, acknowledging kinship is beneficial but not without downsides.
But if they truly acknowledge Zhuge Zhi as Grandpa, Ban Xia and others should expect to deal with Zhuge family’s troublesome affairs in the future.
Regarding the thick-skinned relatives, Gong Ruini felt there was no need to get involved, as they already have people assisting Ban Xia and others with homework.
"I need to go back and ask my parents about this." For Zhuge Zhi to treat this matter so seriously, it indicated the symbolic gesture of acknowledging kin won’t be simple, it’d be somewhat grand. Yet, spread the word about Ban Xia and making a lot of people aware in the Chinese medicine circle.
"Okay, I’ll be waiting." Actually, if he weren’t involved here, Zhuge Zhi had wanted to ask directly, but currently, he doesn’t dare to do so until he checks the situation.
