With a family fortune of 50 billion, all will be given to your daughter-in-law? !

“Those who have a house full of gold and jade always worry about the mediocrity of their children.”

A recent piece of entertainment news is very interesting. 77-year-old Xiang Huaqiang publicly spoke out, saying that he and Mrs. Xiang have decided to set up the family assets as a trust fund, which will be managed by his daughter-in-law Guo Biting. Xiang Zuo and Xiangyou only receive monthly living expenses, and a huge amount of jewelry will be managed by Guo Biting and will be left to his granddaughter in the future.

The reason is very straightforward – he believes that his two sons are not suitable for managing money. If you give money to them, they will be cheated sooner or later. Guo Biting knows how to keep money, so she can rest assured that the wealth is in her hands, and she can also ensure the education of her grandchildren.

The father also warned his two sons: They are not allowed to lie flat, otherwise they will not be given monthly living expenses. If the grandchildren immigrate to the United States, they will be directly disqualified from inheriting.

As expected, this incident quickly became a hot topic. A few days later, this big boss who has been in the entertainment industry for half a century responded to this “impulsive speech” with a kind of freewheeling frankness, saying that he was very happy getting along with Guo Biting and his grandchildren, “Nothing else makes me happy… I will make whoever makes me happy, and I will be happy myself.”

It is rare for a wealthy family to be so partial to their daughter-in-law without any defense. Behind these words are actually the undercurrents of a family for decades.

Of course the youngest son Xiang You feels unfair about his parents’ decision, but Xiang Tai has already blocked and deleted his WeChat account. If Xiang You wants to find his father, he must first convey it through his secretary. Xiang Huaqiang’s response was very cold: “Is he unhappy? Then he should do something to make me happy. The world should be fairer.”

The breakup had already begun to take hold last year. Xiang Tai released a video in which he talked in detail about the experience of raising children for the first time, and reflected on himself in five words: “A loving mother often fails.”

She said that when Xiang You went to study in the UK with her brother, her monthly phone bill alone was as high as 20,000 yuan, but she never took the initiative to contact her parents and would only come to coax her mother when she asked for money. In 2015, Xiang You had a conflict with a taxi driver and said arrogantly, “Do you know who my father is?” He was injured and jailed for half a year. After he was released from prison, Xiang Tai helped him pave many roads, including pet shops and restaurants, investing millions and millions in them, but they all ended in losses.

Xiang You is not a born loser. He has shown good talent in painting and (it is said) helped his girlfriend make a portfolio and help her get admitted to the Saint Martin School of Art. Xiang Tai was very happy and proposed to hire a top art tutor for him, but he refused.

Xiang Tai sighed, with the same educational resources, Xiang Zuo became a swimming champion and tennis champion, but Xiang You fished in troubled waters and failed for a long time.

It turns out that the eldest son, who is not only mediocre but also funny in the eyes of netizens, is already the pride of his mother. In this career, children also have to rely on their peers to support them.

In the past few years, Xiang Zuo and Guo Biting have been involved in a long reality show, including flirting, falling in love, proposing, getting engaged, getting married, giving birth to a baby, cheating, clarification, reconciliation, second child, and business.

Xiang Tai is full of love. For decades, this tough hostess stood in front of her husband and son, worrying about them, giving them a voice, and protecting them from disasters.

Two years ago, she slipped in the bathroom and broke her femur. She was worried that the ambulance would arrive home in the middle of the night and cause unnecessary speculation. She actually endured the pain all night and did not go to the doctor until the next morning.

Behind the toughness is actually the long-term tension and hard work of being a mother and wife.

She once said publicly that she could accept her husband’s acting out on occasion, but there were three red lines: she could not let her know, he could not be photographed by the media, and he must maintain his dignity; he must ensure safety and not bring risks to the family; and he must not touch female celebrities.

The relationship between Xiang Huaqiang and Xiang Tai, who have known each other for half their lives, is difficult to define as a traditional loving couple or a simple marriage of interests. It is more like a symbiotic alliance in Vanity Fair, with both fateful friendship and sober game. He must have a mixture of respect, fear, and love for her.

Does love also make you tense? It will.

Every family has its own problems, and daughter-in-law Guo Biting, who is entrusted with all her fortune, seems to be a precious balance point in the family.

At the end of last year, Guo Biting was working in Taipei and was asked by reporters how she and Xiang Zuo maintained their marriage after being separated for a long time. She didn’t take it seriously and replied: Xiang Zuo only needs to maintain a relationship with his two children. He was vaccinated before marriage. She likes living in Taipei and doesn’t want to change after marriage. Her husband’s family supports her. “They didn’t force me to have children. I want to have children myself.” By the way, she also clarified the rumors that she “didn’t use her husband’s money”, saying frankly that Mrs. Xiang gave her a lot of money and was very kind to her grandchildren. She also laughed and teased reporters for asking such vulgar questions.

The rarest advantage in her body is the sense of relaxation that is not influenced by the outside wind. There was a meme on the Internet last year, which refreshed the history of the four most tolerant people: Gou Jian, Sima Yi, Huang Shengyi, and Guo Biting. After being ridiculed to this point, she also gave people a sense of indifference.

It seems that in her value system, the weight of marriage and spouse, which most women attach great importance to, has been reduced, and replaced by a life attitude of being content with the situation and moderately enjoying the happiness of a large family.

This has nothing to do with right or wrong. Everyone has a different understanding of comfort – the word I use is comfort, not happiness. Why? Because strong happiness, surging passion, bone-deep regret, and fierce anger are just a few fragments. They are high concentrations of sweetness and pain, carrying memories of life and consuming one’s vitality. Most of the time, comfort is the ideal state of life.

Guo Biting, a non-talented person who has no obsession with love and marriage, presents an attitude of “those who are conservative and simple will be contented with the clarity”.

Therefore, Xiang Huaqiang lived for nearly eighty years, rode through countless turbulent waves, and settled too many grievances. In his later years, he found that what made him most comfortable was a family member who was relaxed and not tense, didn’t have to worry, and could also provide some family comfort. When a person has enjoyed everything, what he is greedy for in the end is the happiness brought by his grandchildren.

This makes it understandable why Karl Lagerfeld left a will during his lifetime and left all his property to cats. After all, the closer a person gets to the end of his life, the more he returns to his original craving for warmth and softness.

Xiang Jia’s comments remind people of an article called “Ode to All Living Beings”. Some people say the author is Li Mo, a hermit from the Tang Dynasty, while others say it was written by netizens.

It’s a bit long, but if you insist on reading it to the end, it will allow us to put aside the so-called questioning of “good life or bad life” and heal our mental internal friction——

All living beings have their own cages. If there is a mismatch in marriage, you will end up with virtuous children. There is a harmonious couple, but they are weak and ill. Those who are as healthy as a pine tree sigh at the lack of money. Those who are rich in gold and jade always worry about the mediocrity of their children.

There is a young man who succeeds and goes to Quantai when he is half a hundred years old. Half of your life is wasted, but you will eventually become something great in your old age. Love is true and strong, but it happens to be a ruthless prodigal. In the world of games, I meet an infatuated beauty. Children with great wisdom often make Pengpiaoping powder. The children and grandchildren are stupid and have to sit around their knees to share the joy.

Some are as diligent as bees and ants, working hard all their lives just to have food and clothing, while others are as cunning as foxes, who dominate when they gain power. There are those who hold Yu in mind and are drowned in the dirt of the market place. There are those who follow the tide and become a mayfly in the sea.

He is full of literature and ink, trapped in the power of fame, high in temples, and tired of power and intrigue. Merchants hold silk and worry about sales, while cultivators help their plows and look forward to a good harvest. There has never been any partiality in nature.

The world of mortals is inherently difficult to survive. The sun and the moon still have the regret of gain and loss, and the mountains and rivers still have the sorrow of disintegration, even more so than the flesh and blood. In the universe, no one is more than a mustard seed. Traveling across rivers and lakes is full of tired travelers. Destiny changes like a chess game, and life changes like a cup of tea.

There are all kinds of people planning fireworks, each hiding in the wind and snow, each shouldering the frost. Those who are greedy and angry every day will only increase three thousand troubles. Those who keep things simple and keep things simple will find themselves in a clear state of mind. Don’t see others building high-rise buildings or watch the warmth of the fire in your own stove, but keep three points and be content, and there will be a breeze knocking at the door of your heart.

——Now, have you been cured?
