Reincarnation: I Have Always Been Rich Chapter 252 - A Trip to the Military Compound (4)

Chapter 252 A Trip to the Military Compound (4)

However, she had not expected that her grandfather, Elder Liu, who was involved in the underworld, would have such a good relationship with these old men who lived in the military compound. If Chen Meng’er had not heard wrongly and seen wrongly, Elder Qiu and Elder Xu did not have a good relationship with Elder Liu. They were very close. Even the other elders had a normal expression when they talked about Elder Liu. They did not talk about a mafia boss at all.

All sorts of reasons flashed through Chen Meng’er’s mind. However, she was not 100% sure about any of them.

“Meng’er, we’re here. Little girl, what are you thinking about?” When Madam Yuwen faced Chen Meng’er, she appeared especially kind and patient.

Chen Meng’er had a very good impression of Madam Yuwen, who looked kind and kind, but was very fierce deep down. Therefore, when Madam Yuwen asked her, she naturally asked the question in her heart, “Grandma Yuwen, how does my grandfather know Grandpa Yuwen and the others?”

When Madam Yuwen heard Chen Meng’er’s question, she smiled and said, “I was wondering what you were thinking about, little girl. I didn’t expect you to think about this. Haha, aren’t you very curious about how your grandfather’s ident.i.ty could have such a good relationship with the elders who live in this courtyard?”

“Yes.” Chen Meng’er nodded and then looked at Madam Yuwen with antic.i.p.ation in her eyes.

For some reason, when Chen Meng’er looked at Madam Yuwen with pure and expectant eyes, Madam Yuwen was in a daze. Chen Meng’er’s gaze reminded her of her precious daughter who had pa.s.sed away. Her eyes were a little red.

Chen Meng’er looked at Madam Yuwen whose eyes were red. She was very puzzled. Did the question just now remind Madam Yuwen of some sad past? Chen Meng’er couldn’t help but guess. Did her grandfather save the lives of these old men, or…? “Madam Yuwen, you…” Chen Meng’er was cold-blooded. However, she was terrifyingly soft-hearted to people who treated her sincerely and were accepted by her. Therefore, she was a little fl.u.s.tered when she saw the tears that had not yet flowed out of Madam Yuwen’s eyes.

“Ah, it’s fine. It’s fine. Grandma is fine. I’m sorry, little girl, I scared you. Grandma was just thinking about Grandma’s daughter who had a hard life.” Madam Yuwen quickly put away her out-of-control emotions, she pulled a smile and comforted Chen Meng’er who was a little scared.

“Grandma Yuwen, don’t be sad. Aunty is watching from the sky. She doesn’t want to see Grandpa and Grandma sad. In this way, she won’t be at ease in the heart of the heavens.” Chen Meng’er didn’t know how to comfort people. She racked her brain, she thought of these words to comfort people.

“Yes, thank you, little girl. Grandma knows. Ah, right, Grandma hasn’t told you about your grandpa and the old men in the courtyard.” Madam Yuwen’s mood changed very quickly; it was so fast that Chen Meng’er couldn’t react in time.

“Ah, Grandma, tell me.” Chen Meng’er looked like she was all ears. “Your grandfather, he is the current head of the Liu family. However, the Liu family is the same as the Yuwen family. They are both aristocratic families with a long history in the capital. Your grandfather and my husband have known each other since they were young. And the Liu family had always been in a proper business. No one had any connections with the underworld. However, your grandfather, Elder Liu, was an exception. Before he took over the Liu family and became the head of the Liu family, he was just an heir. However, in his generation, the Liu family was in a mess. There were many people with wild ambitions. On the other hand, your grandfather, Elder Liu, was repeatedly threatened, ambushed, and even nearly lost his life once. After that incident, your grandfather became ruthless. No one knew how he got to know those hooligans, nor did they know how he subdued those hooligans. Anyway, by the time everyone found out, your grandfather had already established the Green Gang and become the head of the underworld. Not long after your grandfather established the Green Gang and seized the position of the head of the family, the country was in chaos and there were endless wars. After the country began to fall into chaos, your grandfather resolutely brought his brothers and joined the Communist Party,” Madam Yuwen said, she paused for a moment, then she continued, “Your grandfather made a lot of contributions. Originally, the country wanted to give your grandfather the rank of general, but your grandfather refused. He became the head of the underworld again. Otherwise, your grandfather would have lived in this courtyard just like your grandfather Yuwen. However, your grandfather’s Green Gang is different from other underworld gangs. The Green Gang was recognized by the country. Otherwise, during those ten years, when the country was cracking down on them, the Green Gang would have long disappeared.”

“Oh, so that’s what happened.” Chen Meng’er did not expect that there would be such a pa.s.sage. After listening to the old lady’s words and thinking about it from beginning to end, she had a sudden realization. As she said, in her previous life, the Green Gang was so powerful and ostentatious, but the higher-ups had never come looking for trouble with the Green Gang,

Chen Meng’er also figured it out. In her previous life, she felt that the Green Gang was strange. No wonder she sometimes felt that the things Zhuge Yu and the others did were so strange.

“Ah, why am I talking so much to a little girl like you? Let’s go, Grandma will cook something delicious for you.” Madam Yuwen held Chen Meng’er’s hand and walked to the kitchen.

Madam Yuwen originally wanted Chen Meng’er to watch TV in the living room, but Chen Meng’er was unwilling. She had no interest in those TV programs, and there were no books in the Yuwen family that she was interested in. So in the end, she still followed Madam Yuwen into the kitchen.

Madam Yuwen agreed to let Chen Meng’er enter the kitchen with her, but she didn’t think of asking Chen Meng’er to help her, or to directly cook for her.

Because in Madam Yuwen’s heart, Chen Meng’er’s age was when she was being pampered. Moreover, what could such a young child do.

Therefore, when Chen Meng’er followed Madam Yuwen into the kitchen, she naturally took the vegetables from Madam Yuwen’s hands and went to the sink to wash them. Old Mrs. Liu was a little unable to react at first. After she reacted, she quickly stopped her, “Girl, you don’t have to be here. You just have to stay by Grandma’s side and chat with me.”

“It’s okay, Grandma. When I’m at home, my brother and I often help my mom wash the vegetables.” Chen Meng’er was telling the truth. She watched her parents work until they came back at night. She didn’t want to move even though she was tired, but she still insisted on cooking for them. She just wanted to take care of her parents so that they wouldn’t be so tired.

Chen Meng’er wanted to cook, but her small body couldn’t even reach the stove. Therefore, she had to settle for the second best. Chen Meng’er chose to wash all the ingredients.

As for Chen Meng’er’s two sister-obsessed brothers, how could they watch their sister work while they played? Therefore, they had to join in the housework. This made Chen Ping and Liu Juan feel gratified for a long time.

Madam Yuwen saw that Chen Meng’er was very skilled in washing vegetables, so she believed Chen Meng’er’s words.

For a time, the kitchen was filled with warmth. When Marquis Yuwen finished chatting with the old men and returned home, he saw two people, one big and one small, doing their own tasks in the kitchen while chatting. Seeing this scene, Marquis Yuwen, who was used to only having him and his wife at home, felt tears welling up in his eyes.
