Chapter 54

In front of a newly demolished ruined residence in Chen Family Village, Panlong Town, Qingxian County, two special guests arrived today.

"Lin girl, you say Chen Yang this kid's luck isn't good, in one month he earned one hundred million, and it'll probably be even more. You say his luck is good, his parents are dead, his ancestral home was pushed down. I really want to see what he looks like when he returns in triumph and sees this scene. It'll definitely be interesting."

"He actually already knows, so he doesn't want to return to Qingxian!"

"Is that so? Then the people of this village really deserve to die, actually pushing that disaster to Xingcheng to torment me."

"Sister Xin, you yourself checked, it was just an accident, having nothing to do with my family's Chen Yang."

"Hmph, if he hadn't bought Xingcheng Heavy Industry, there wouldn't be so many troubles. If it weren't for a greedy fool jumping out to take the blame, I would have been scolded to death by the old master this time."

"Sister Xin, why don't you come invest in Qingxian, do something good for the country and the people. Uncle Ye will know and be happy too."

"Enough, this godforsaken place, staying another day makes me miserable."

"Then why did you still come?"

"Wasn't it you who dragged me over? You little thoughts, I could tell. You're too embarrassed to show up yourself, wanting me to speak up for your man? Forget it!"

"Then let Chen Yang continue to mess with you in Xingcheng!"

"Hmph, believe it or not, I'll find someone to put a sack over him!"

"My dear sister, that's your brother-in-law!"

"Hehe, I've beaten my own husband, what's a brother-in-law?"

"Alright! Then you first settle the matters here for me."

"……"

"My dearest dear sister!"

"Alright! But you have to promise me, let that disaster hurry back to Qingxian."

"No problem, I've got it covered!"

After the two women reached an agreement, they quickly drove away from Chen Family Village.

One hour later, Chen Family Village's village party secretary Chen Dingfang received a call from the Panlong Town town party committee secretary, and was scolded for a full two hours.

Chen Dingfang, bursting with anger, immediately summoned all the members of the village committee's party group to the village office, and also scolded them for two hours with crackling sounds.

After the meeting ended, the whole Chen Family Village was in an uproar. Everyone knew Chen Yang had made a fortune outside and even knew a big shot so powerful that even the Qingxian County Party Secretary couldn't afford to offend. Once he returns, some people's lives will become difficult.

Inside the supermarket of the Sunshine Garden residential complex, Chen Chunmei, who was arranging merchandise, suddenly received a call from an old sister from Chen Family Village, informing her that the Chen family's old residence had been demolished and the land had been reallocated by the village.

Chen Chunmei was furious, and immediately called Chen Yang: "Chen Yang, hurry up and pack up and come back home with me."

"Go back to do what?"

"Our family's ancestral home has been pushed down! The land has also been taken!"

"I know!"

"When did you find out? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Our household registrations have already been moved out, making a fuss is useless! Besides, we've already settled in Xingcheng, and it's rare to go back once. That old house would have to collapse even if no one pushed it."

"No, that's the foundation left by our Chen ancestors. I must go back and reason with them."

"Auntie, why don't I go back? The supermarket is already short-staffed; if you leave too, we'll have to close the door."

"That's fine too; if they're unreasonable, we'll go make a fuss at the county and city governments. I just don't believe there's no place in this world where reason prevails."

Chen Yang hung up the phone. Chen Chunmei being able to know about the ancestral home shows that Lin Wei has already been to Chen Family Village.

In that case, he can't avoid returning to Qingxian.

Xingcheng Heavy Industry is still in the suspension period; Chen Yang originally planned to take his cousin Zhao Qian to the south for fun and buy some furniture for a new house by the way. Now he can only first make a trip back to Qingxian.

Chen Yang found Liu Shijie, intending to directly buy his borrowed BMW. Liu Shijie said the car was originally bought by the company for tax avoidance, sitting in the garage is also a waste, let Chen Yang drive it as he likes, and they'll reimburse fuel and tolls.

Chen Yang was polite for a moment, but ultimately accepted Liu Shijie's goodwill.

He drove around Xingcheng, bought some cosmetics Lin Wei often uses, also bought cigarettes and alcohol that Lin Jianguo likes, then packed his luggage and returned to Qingxian.

When arriving at the Lin family's home, it was already dark. However, hearing that Chen Yang would return, Lin Jianguo still delayed the meal time. Seeing Chen Yang bring back another large pile of cigarettes and alcohol, he couldn't help but criticize a few sentences. After that, he let everyone move the items into his storage room.

After the meal, Chen Yang then asked Lin Wei about matters at home.

"This is Sister Xin's doing. She hopes you stay honestly in Qingxian, and don't go to Xingcheng to cause her trouble again."

"What trouble have I caused? I'm a law-abiding good citizen!"

Lin Wei fiercely pinched Chen Yang: "You still have the nerve to say you're law-abiding? Just sports betting alone would be enough to lock you up for a while."

Chen Yang cautiously glanced at the door outside, then softly asked Lin Wei: "Does Dad not know?"

Lin Wei snorted: "If he knew, he'd still let you eat at home? He'd have already subjected you to severe punishment. That sum of money, you should take it out and give back to society. I heard you made quite a bit in the stock market this time, enough to spend."

"Fine, my wife has already spoken, how could I not obey?" Chen Yang now has enough cash on hand, and his mood has improved a lot. Doing charity can reduce taxes for the company; even if Lin Wei didn't mention it, Chen Yang would still put up a sum of money. As long as it can grow big, let alone sixty million, he would not balk at spending six hundred million.

Lin Wei was pleased with Chen Yang's performance. The topic returned again to the Chen family ancestral home.

"The Chen Village Village Committee has already held a meeting and discussed it; they said they agree to move your household registration back, and they have approved you to rebuild houses on the old homestead. They also hope you can make some contribution to the hometown's economy."

Chen Yang instantly felt resentful. "They returned the homestead that originally belonged to me, yet now I have to owe them a favor—where is the logic in that?"

Lin Wei said: "Chen Village is after all the place where you return to your roots; not everyone there is bad. You can first separate out the bad people, then help the others."

Chen Yang sighed and said: "You're too optimistic. Human hearts are complex; if they don't get an advantage, they'll find ways to sabotage. Honest people can't contend with wicked ones, and they're even easily influenced by those wicked people."

Lin Wei didn't believe it.

Chen Yang said: "How about we make a bet? When I go back I'll set up a project and let those honest, conscientious people do it. If it ultimately fails, then from now on you must not interfere in whatever I do."

Lin Wei decisively shook her head and refused. "You're trying to set a trap for me, nice try. As long as you're still my man, I have to manage your affairs."

Chen Yang, seeing his scheme fail, simply lay down on the bed, pretending to be dead and loafing around.

Unexpectedly, Lin Wei locked the door from the inside, and a fierce tiger descending the mountain pounced onto Chen Yang's body.
