Ah Zong and Ah Chan, the second sister-in-law, exchanged a glance.
"Dad." Ah Zong came to his father's side and started massaging his shoulders.
"Dad." The second sister-in-law also brought over a cup of tea for her father-in-law.
Kang Bo looked at them with confusion.
No good deed goes unpunished.
He started to feel afraid.
"Dad, your gold bar is so big, you can't possibly use it all. Could you give us some? Your grandson, Kang Tian Xiu, is so big already and doesn't even have a long life lock. Could you spare a few tens of grams to make one for him?" Ah Zong said, trying to please him.
He used Tian Xiu as an excuse.
Hearing Ah Zong's words, Kang Bo was startled.
This is going to be a problem.
Ah Yao and the others in the back also widened their eyes.
"Yes, Dad, Tian Xiu is really pitiful. He's so big, and nobody has made him a long life lock to protect him." The second sister-in-law pretended to cry.
"Tian Xiu, come here." Ah Zong pulled Tian Xiu over. "Look at Tian Xiu, he's so bare, he doesn't have anything."
Kang Bo was helpless.
"Tian Xiu, it's all Dad's fault. He can't afford a long life lock for you." The second brother also held Tian Xiu and pretended to cry.
"Alright, alright, I get it." Kang Bo said helplessly.
"Thank you, Dad." As soon as Ah Zong heard that, he immediately said thanks, effortlessly.
The second sister-in-law did the same.
She immediately pushed Tian Xiu away.
"By the way, Dad, Ah Chan and I have been married for so long and still don't have wedding rings. We want to make a pair of wedding rings. We don't need much, just one hundred grams each." Ah Zong continued to push his luck.
"Yeah, it's not a lot, just one hundred grams each." The second sister-in-law agreed.
"Second brother and second sister-in-law, you're too greedy. Your two gold rings and Tian Xiu's long life lock will take almost three hundred grams." Ah Zu said angrily. "Dad, I'm not asking for much, just a gold necklace."
"They want it, so you want it too? A gold necklace, do you have the good fortune to wear it?" Ah Zong glared at Ah Zu.
"Why wouldn't I have good fortune? I want one too, second brother." Ah Zu refused to back down.
"Alright." Kang Bo couldn't stand their bickering anymore. "This gold bar, I will decide how to distribute it. Whether I use it myself or give it to you, I will decide with my wife."
Kang Bo said sternly.
Hearing his words, Ah Zong and the others had to back down.
They could only wait for their father to decide how to distribute it.
They would have to use Tian Xiu to coax their father and mother more in the future.
Plus, they had three people in their family.
They had a big advantage over their elder brothers, Ah Yao and Ah Zu, who only had one person each.
They were definitely not going to lose out in the end.
Thinking about this, they fell silent.
Diao Guang remained oblivious, uninterested in the competition.
Ah Yao also wanted some but was too embarrassed to ask.
As for Ah Zu, he was secretly thinking about how to get a big piece for himself to show off.
Once he got it, he would sell it when he got bored. It would fetch him a lot of money.
Each one had their own thoughts.
"Go back to rest." Kang Bo dismissed them and walked back into his room.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night for many.
Kang Bo spent the whole night thinking about Kang Er Zheng's matter.
He considered the gold matter less important than Kang Er Zheng's matter.
He had already made up his mind about the gold.
He planned to have a few pairs of gold rings made for his sons and daughters-in-law.
Then, long life locks, he would make several for his future grandchildren.
Five hundred grams of gold would be enough, and there would be a lot left over.
He would keep the extra and use it for anything they needed in the future.
"Old man, what are you thinking about?" The old lady saw that her husband had not slept all night.
"I'm thinking about Ah Zheng and Ah Zhuan's matter." Kang Bo sighed.
"What's there to think about? If what Ah Zheng said is true, even though Ah Zhuan went to Hong Kong, he never forgot about the Kang family. The children are all surnamed Kang. It's perfectly understandable that they are part of the Kang family." The old lady said.
"That's true." Kang Bo nodded when he heard his wife's words, finding them sensible.
Although they had no blood ties, they had a name tie.
The next day.
The White Swan Hotel.
The entire Kang family was present.
Kang Er Zheng had even booked a private room.
The second sister-in-law knew Kang Er Zheng was treating them to a meal, and she didn't hold back at all. She ordered anything that was expensive and anything that was delicious.
Ah Zong couldn't stand it anymore and pulled on his wife's sleeve.
"Don't go overboard." Ah Zong reminded her.
The second sister-in-law was a little embarrassed.
"Ah Chan, don't order so much, it's too expensive." The old lady also persuaded her.
"It's fine, order whatever you like." Kang Er Zheng waved his hand, unconcerned.
"Our younger uncle said it's fine." The second sister-in-law didn't care about her face.
"Ah Guang, Ah Yao, Ah Zu, you three brothers, order whatever you like." Kang Er Zheng looked at Ah Guang and his brothers.
"Thank you, younger uncle." Ah Zu took the menu and ordered. "A bowl of bird's nest for each of us to cleanse our mouths, and a plate of nine-section prawns."
Ah Zu also didn't hold back.
Kang Bo's face darkened.
He was ashamed of his children's behavior.
"Brother, my mother and I have discussed it and agreed to meet. Would you like to come to Hong Kong to see my mother, or would you like her to come here?" Kang Er Zheng asked.
"I think you should come to Hong Kong. I'll help you arrange the travel permits. You can come to Hong Kong to see my mother, and you two can also visit Hong Kong and go sightseeing at the same time." Kang Er Zheng said. "We have a house in Hong Kong, so you don't have to worry about accommodation."
Kang Bo was thinking about it.
When the second sister-in-law heard about going to Hong Kong, she looked at Ah Zong.
Ah Zong understood her meaning from her look.
As they had been married for over a decade, a single glance was enough to understand each other.
"Dad, go to Hong Kong to see your younger wife. After all, she is your elder. We, your son and daughter-in-law, will accompany you." Ah Zong said.
"Yes, Dad, we'll accompany you." The second sister-in-law agreed.
Actually, they were more eager to go to Hong Kong to have a look around.
It's not easy to go to Hong Kong these days.
You need to go through the procedures.
"Old Dad, I support my second brother's suggestion. But my second brother and second sister-in-law are busy with their shop, so I can take a leave of absence and accompany you." Ah Zu also wanted to go to Hong Kong to have some fun.
Kang Er Zheng didn't look at them, he just looked at Kang Bo, waiting for his answer.
"Brother, if you're not convenient, I can also ask my mother to come." Kang Er Zheng thought Kang Bo didn't want to go.
"Let's go. We also want to see Hong Kong and see how you're living." Kang Bo thought for a moment and said.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements for you. How many of you are going?" Kang Er Zheng asked.
"Me."
"Me,"
"And me."
Ah Zong, Ah Chan, and Ah Zu all raised their hands.
Kang Bo glared at the three of them.
They had to put their hands down.
"Why are you going?"
"How about the whole family goes together? I can be your host." Kang Er Zheng saw that Ah Guang and the others seemed eager to go.
"Okay, okay." Ah Zong, Ah Zu, and the others nodded repeatedly.
"Wouldn't that be too many people?" The old lady asked worriedly.
"It's fine." Kang Er Zheng waved his hand.
It might be difficult for ordinary people.
But it was an easy matter for him.
