I'm back in 1990

Chapter 843: Explicit Opposition

This is also where the couple's views differ. Huang Xiaochuan views it from the perspective of a wealth controller and a family strategy, aiming to cultivate a suitable successor for the family and hoping to form a virtuous cycle of orderly succession.

Yu Xiang, on the other hand, viewed the issue from the perspective of a traditional mother and a maintainer of family order. She felt that the man's actions harmed his son's interests, since his daughter was going to marry out of the family in the future. If the man insisted on doing this, wouldn't half of the property become someone else's?

Yu Xiang's thoughts and reactions are quite normal. After all, this is her first time being the wife of a billionaire, and she still views inheritance based on the family education she received. She cannot yet appreciate Huang Xiaochuan's strategic vision for the future of the family.

So she directly expressed her opposition: "I have no objection to you asking me to change the way I raise my children, but I disagree with your idea that Xiaoduo should have the same inheritance rights as Xiaodong in the future."

This was the first time Huang Xiaochuan had heard Yu Xiang so bluntly oppose giving her daughter inheritance rights. He wanted to know why. His daughter was someone she had carried for ten months and had finally given birth to; she wasn't adopted from someone else's family. Why should she be so clear-cut and treat her differently?

"So what are your thoughts? Tell me!"

"What I'm thinking is simple. Xiaoduo is a girl who will get married in the future. If you leave half of the property to her, it means that the property will benefit someone from another family in the future. Do you think your parents would agree to this idea?" Yu Xiang was worried that her words didn't carry enough weight, so she brought up her parents-in-law.

The couple were originally discussing their children's education, but the conversation eventually turned to the issue of their children's future inheritance.

Moreover, the couple had significant disagreements on this issue, but fortunately, they reached a consensus on the education of their children.

Regarding the issue of inheritance rights for their children, Huang Xiaochuan still tried his best to persuade Yu Xiang: "Xiaodong and Xiaoduo are our children. Isn't it normal for me to leave all our property to them in the future?"

Yu Xiang glared at the man with displeasure: "So you didn't listen to a single word I said just now?" She was a little angry that the man didn't respect her opinion.

Faced with Yu Xiang's dissatisfaction, Huang Xiaochuan didn't take it to heart and said calmly, "Times have changed, and we need to keep up with the times when looking at issues. Xiao Duo is our daughter, and no one can change that. Regardless of whether she gets married in the future, we cannot deprive her of her inheritance rights because of that."

Yu Xiang immediately retorted loudly, "Who said I was going to deprive Xiao Duo of her inheritance rights? I've already decided that Xiao Duo will study medicine and leave Kangci to her in the future. But all other property should be inherited by my son. It's tradition—the son inherits the father's business. Don't you understand such a simple principle?"

Seeing that Yu Xiang was so resistant, Huang Xiaochuan couldn't help but regret not having discussed this issue with Yu Xiang sooner.

He was still somewhat presumptuous. He originally thought that since they were both his biological children, it would be just right to divide them equally. He never expected that Yu Xiang would disagree with this plan.

Seeing Yu Xiang's resolute attitude, Huang Xiaochuan knew that the issue of inheritance rights could not be rushed.

So he took the initiative to back down, ending the discussion about inheritance rights and bringing the topic back to the issue of children's education, since the most crucial issue was to first cultivate the two children's own abilities.

"Okay, let's not discuss the inheritance for now, we can talk about it later. But you should relax your expectations of Xiaoduo a little. You can let her have some snacks as she pleases, just control the amount she gets each day."

Yu Xiang nodded, accepting the suggestion. The incident at the school was indeed related to her being too strict. The man was right; it was better to guide than to suppress.

Huang Xiaochuan glanced at Yu Xiang's expression and continued, "You just told me that you plan to let Xiao Duo study medicine and give Kangci to her in the future. That is indeed a pretty good idea. However, I have found that our Xiao Duo is quite talented in business and organizational skills. Moreover, whether she studies medicine or business, it can help her manage Kangci in the future. There will be no conflict."

Huang Xiaochuan's words were very pertinent and also catered to Yu Xiang's idea of ​​leaving Kangci to her daughter, so naturally Yu Xiang agreed.

But the next day, Yu Xiang went to her parents' home.

"What? Xiao Chuan has such thoughts?" Zheng Aiying and Lao Yu were also unable to accept it after learning about their eldest son-in-law's ideas from their eldest daughter.

Old Yu and Zheng Aiying have always believed that their eldest grandson Huang Zeji will be the sole heir to their son-in-law's family business, and that a generous dowry will suffice when their granddaughter gets married.

"I know Xiao Chuan cares deeply for Xiao Duo, but this isn't how you show affection to a child. If he does this, won't half of the family fortune end up in someone else's name? That won't do!" Zheng Aiying clearly stated her position.

Old Yu's idea was the same as his wife Zheng Aiying's. Moreover, this was not an ordinary family's property of a few houses and a few million yuan. The two siblings could just divide it equally. The old couple did not know how much their eldest son-in-law was actually worth, but they estimated that he should have three to five hundred billion yuan. If they followed his idea, wouldn't they be giving one or two hundred billion yuan to someone outside the family?

This is simply an international joke, utter nonsense! The more Old Yu thought about it, the angrier he became. What angered him was that all of this should have originally belonged to his eldest grandson, but his unreliable son-in-law actually wanted to give half of it to his granddaughter who was going to get married in the future.

"I'm going to go and reason with his parents later, and ask them if they know what their son did." Old Yu slammed his hand on the table and stood up, ready to confront his in-laws.

Yu Xiang quickly calmed down Old Yu: "Dad! Can you please not be angry? Besides, my in-laws don't know about this yet, so you can't blame them!"

Zheng Aiying also sided with her eldest daughter and pressed Lao Yu back down to sit: "Honestly, you're blaming your in-laws without even knowing the facts. Do you think Lao Huang and Lao Zeng would agree to Xiao Chuan's arrangement?"

The two families have known each other for decades and know each other inside and out, so they naturally know each other's thoughts. After hearing what his wife said, Lao Yu also felt that he was a little out of his mind. The in-laws definitely didn't know about this matter. If they did know, they would definitely not agree. He knew Lao Huang too well. He was even more traditional than him.

However, this matter was of utmost importance, and Lao Yu and Zheng Aiying decided that it would be better to meet with their in-laws in the afternoon.

Zheng Aiying instructed her husband, "Old Yu, call our in-laws in a bit and tell them we're going to visit them this afternoon."

"Okay, I'll call right now!" Old Yu immediately got up and went to make the call.

"Mom! I'll go with you this afternoon." Yu Xiang offered to accompany her parents.

Zheng Aiying patted her eldest daughter's hand to encourage her: "You have to go. This can't be done according to Xiaochuan's whims. I know your in-laws; they will absolutely not agree to Xiaochuan's actions."

For the sake of her eldest grandson, Zheng Aiying felt she had to unite with her in-laws to dissuade her eldest son-in-law from this idea.
