Chapter 151 Expelled from Home
"Hui'er was helping outsiders outside. It was indeed Hui'er's fault. I would like to apologize to my aunt first. I hope you will forgive Hui'er." Shen Shihui bowed slightly with a sincere look on his face.
He Honglian sneered: "You want Penglai Pavilion, no problem, the He family has always been the place for the capable. Although your last name is not He, if you do things uprightly, no one will disobey you."
"Aunt, you and my mother are both from the He family. The children you gave birth to all have different surnames, but my cousin's surname is He. Now that my mother has brought me back to the He family, there is no difficulty in me changing my surname to He." Shen Shihui responded neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Hearing this, He Honglian's face became even uglier. She quickly changed the subject to Mr. He: "Dad, you see, she is a junior after all, and she is so reckless. Although what happened in the restaurant was a misunderstanding, it was she who let someone take advantage of it, causing the business to suffer. The management rights should be handed over to me. After all, I have been in charge for so long, and she is just a little girl, she still needs to learn more."
Mr. He thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense. He had no children, so Penglai Pavilion would naturally have to be handed over to the young people.
"Grandfather, it's not too late for you to take a look at this thing." Shen Shihui took out another earring from his sleeve and said, "Grandfather, today's disaster was caused by Li Quan. He didn't just have a grudge against Madam Zhao, but someone gave him two hundred taels of silver. In addition to the two hundred taels, there is also a pair of earrings. One is in the county government as evidence of the crime, and the other is in my hand. Madam Zhao wanted to hand them over directly, but I begged for mercy to save face for my aunt and the He family. If it gets out, outsiders will think that the He family is directing and acting, which is even more ridiculous."
This thing was naturally not dropped by He Honglian. Even if it did fall, it would not be a pair of earrings. It was Li Quan who left behind the proof of He Honglian's identity because he was afraid that He Honglian would change her mind or abandon him.
Old Master He also stood out from other brothers to take over these restaurants. Although they were opened in the town, many towns had their Penglai Pavilion, which monopolized the market, so it was not bad. How could he not understand what He Honglian had done? If this matter was really spread, their He family would lose face.
"Kneel down!" Old Master He shouted angrily.
He Honglian cried out aggrievedly: "Dad!"
"I have been by your side all these years and I am the closest to you. Now that the mother and daughter are back, everything has changed. Why? Have you forgotten that your sister eloped with someone secretly..." He Honglian lowered her head, her voice weak, but she spoke one sentence after another.
Before He Honglian could finish her words, she was interrupted by Mr. He's even louder shout of "Kneel down". Seeing the old man stroking his chest, she finally knelt down reluctantly.
Her face couldn't be uglier. She had lost so much face in front of a junior like Shen Shihui. But Shen Shihui was capable, but what about her? Her son was useless without a husband, and he was isolated and helpless.
"Aunt! At this point, are you still going to use this incident to sow discord between my grandfather and my mother?"
"Grandfather, you arranged a marriage for my mother. Although my mother was unhappy, she still thought about the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. But my aunt came at this time. My aunt said that the man behaved improperly and often lingered in red-light districts and places like Chuguanqinlou. She said that my grandfather ignored my mother's happiness in order to get the blessing of this marriage. Who would have thought that my aunt would not stop there. She ordered people to forcibly send my mother to a remote town the night before the wedding, just saying that it was for her own good. My mother had no documents and no money, and she was desperate. She had to rely on herself to live, and then she decided to spend the rest of her life with my father. My mother didn't say these words out of consideration for the sisterly relationship, but my aunt was never satisfied."
She didn't know it before, but after she came back and questioned her mother, she found out everything.
"You! You are slandering me." He Honglian's face turned green. Her sister clearly said when she came back that she would not tell anyone about this!
"Dad, I didn't do that. I was only a teenager back then. How could I possibly do that?"
"Really? You can't do these things, but what about uncle? Otherwise, how can aunt explain why she wanted to marry a poor boy? Isn't it because he has something on you? If aunt refuses to admit it, then ask uncle to come and confront her face to face."
Shen Shihui was certain that a man like Zhao Licheng would be dizzy even for a small profit, not to mention the punishment.
He Honglian knew that she couldn't let Zhao Licheng come, and when she saw He Hongxiao finally arrived, she couldn't hide the cannibalistic emotions in her eyes any longer: "Why, why have you been spoiled since you were a child, why should I be ignored?"
She turned her head and looked at Mr. He: "Dad, I was the one who served you wholeheartedly all these years."
Old Master He looked gloomy as he looked at He Honglian with disappointment in his eyes: "Honglian, you disappoint me so much. I thought you were a kind person all these years and you went astray for a while, but I didn't expect you to do such a vicious thing to your own sister in the past."
He Honglian burst into tears: "Dad, I just can't accept it. Why does my sister have everything, but I have nothing?"
He Hongxiao looked at He Honglian and felt a little reluctant.
Shen Shihui squeezed He Hongxiao's hand to let her know that she should not be soft-hearted at this moment.
"Aunt, your mistake is that you are too greedy. You already have a lot, but you are still not satisfied and have to fight for things that don't belong to you."
He Hongxiao also came forward and looked at He Honglian with complicated eyes: "Sister, we are sisters and should support each other. Why do you treat me like this? In the past ten years, I have been deceiving myself and others, saying that you are doing this for my own good, but now that I am back, not only do you not treat me well, but you also frame others for the power to run the family."
He Honglian turned her head away, unwilling to look at He Hongxiao: "What's the point of you saying this now? You're already back, it's too late."
Naturally, she had sisterly feelings for her younger sister, but her ambition was burning, and she was unwilling to share everything in the family with He Hongxiao, including the property, parents... none of them.
Mr. He was angry that He Honglian did not repent and wanted to expel her from the He family: "If you don't repent again, you don't need to be called He anymore!"
He Honglian was unwilling to accept that she had lost miserably in front of her sister and Shen Shihui, but she was also too proud to beg for mercy. "Lian Jun will soon marry the youngest daughter of the Guo family, and the Guo family will soon take up their posts in Beijing. We will not be confined to such a small town. Father, mother, and sister will stay here for the rest of their lives."
