Old Master Zhao sighed and narrated the whole unlucky thing to his son.
Zhao Guangyin was startled as well and lamented. "Dad, what was the point in doing this? If I had known about this earlier, I would have stopped you. We have so many fields, why are we obsessed with such small things?"
Old Master Zhao did not tell his son the whole truth. The reason why Old Master Zhao failed to get hold of the fields originally was because he had tried to make profits out of it.
Zhao Guangyin would have surely blamed him for what he had done, if he got to know the whole story.
Zhao Guangyin was the only clear-minded person in the whole family.
But he had too many incapable partners, and he was too busy to care about what his family was doing. In other words, he had not expected that his family would be so unreliable.
Old Master Zhao sneered. "I need my reputation and that poor family was bullying me!"
