Chapter: 2401

Du Haiqing hasn't returned home yet, and her parents as well as her siblings have all learned about the Su family's scandal and Su Shoudao's private daughter.

So, before she gets back, other siblings in the Du family are all summoned by Uncle Du to go after her.

Uncle Du and Aunt Du are very clear about Haiqing's personality, knowing that once she finds out about this, she'll immediately rush home, so they didn't call Haiqing or let anyone else call her.

The whole family has already gathered together, waiting for Haiqing's return.

When Haiqing's car pulls into the Du Family's estate, her parents and a few siblings all come out to greet her.

Haiqing sees everyone standing in front of her and is immediately overcome with emotion.

What sets the Du family apart from other commercial families is that their elders have held high positions for generations, so money has never been something worth mentioning to them.

It's because they don't care about money that there are no power struggles among siblings in the Du family.

Among the Du family offspring, some inherit Uncle Du's mantle and have excellent prospects; some focus on top-notch universities or research institutes, while others become rare scholars who though having billions, never show off their wealth.

As for Du Haiqing and her few sisters, each has their own emotional settlement.

The women in the Du family, educated by Grandma Du from a young age, have no strong career ambitions; instead, they are all skilled at managing the household, each with excellent virtues typical of traditional Chinese women.

Du Haiqing just got off the bus when Grandma Du hurried up to her, hugging her hand gently and whispering, "Haiqing, you've been wronged."

Du Haiqing smiled slightly and said, "Mom, don't say that. I don't feel wronged at all."

Uncle Du spoke up beside them, saying, "Haiqing, it's been a while since we've all gathered together. I'll have someone prepare the coal fire pit, and we'll have a family dinner with copper pot braised meat later."

For old-timers in Yancheng, one of their favorite foods is copper pot braised meat.

Unlike the electric or gas stoves used by outsiders to make hot pot, old-timers in Yancheng insist on using an internal cavity, wood-fired copper pot, which has been passed down from the palace.

In the harsh winter of Yancheng, sitting around the copper pot and enjoying braised meat is truly a fantastic experience.

The Du family's five generations are all born-and-bred Yanchengers, so they naturally love this copper pot braised meat to their very bones.

However, with children all grown up and living separately, it's still not easy for everyone to gather together.

Please refer to the last 5 lines of my previous response for context.

So, Grandpa immediately came up with a plan to have everyone gather and enjoy a good meal together. Otherwise, if everyone ran off to console Du Hailing, it might even backfire.

As expected, all the kids got excited when they heard that they were going to have copper pot braised meat for dinner. They didn't care that it was already getting late at night; each of them was thrilled beyond words.

The youngest one, Du Haimei, who is also Du Hailing's little sister, quickly got excited and ran up to hug Du Hailing's arm, laughing and saying, "Sister, I've been idle for a few days, thinking about staying at Mom and Dad's place for a few days. Can we sleep together tonight?"

Du Hailing smiled and said, "Tonight is fine, but tomorrow is out of the question. Tomorrow, I want to go to Jinling."

"What?!" Everyone looked at Du Hailing in surprise. JrNovels.com
