Born as a space beast, Shi Chu possessed a strong sense of self-preservation and was inherently selfish. She revelled in luxury, indulging in fine food and clothing. She rejected phrases like “su...
Chapter 444 Everyone Hates Mother-in-Law (12)
"I never thought that Chen Shichu has become a big boss now. I saw her driving out this morning, saying she was going to discuss business with someone. She was so majestic, just like those young and fashionable female bosses in the city." Aunt Wang said to Chen Da Jiao with emotion.
Chen Da Jiao also looked envious: "Who would have thought that she would be so lucky? Everyone thought that as a widow, she could only live with her son in the city and help take care of her grandchildren, but I didn't expect that she could run a factory and become a big boss in her old age."
"I see that she looks almost 20 years younger. The woman in her 40s standing next to her looks like her mother. They are not even of the same generation. It's true that money is a person's confidence. With money, one becomes younger and more beautiful." Aunt Wang meets Chen Shichu every day. How could she not notice that she is doing well and getting more and more energetic?
"Everyone's life is different. We can't envy them. They feel comfortable talking to government officials and are calm when discussing business with bosses in the city. But I can't do that. I tremble when I speak in front of those big shots..." said Chen Da Jiao Shuo.
"Her business is getting bigger and bigger, why doesn't she call her son back to help? Won't these businesses be passed on to her children and grandchildren anyway? If she lets her son come back to help, she won't have to work so hard herself." Chen Da Jiao added. She is three years older than Chen Shichu and has grandchildren too. She values the whole family being together the most. For example, Chen Shichu is alone in his hometown, while his son is away. In fact, she secretly feels that she is more superior to Chen Shichu.
"I haven't heard her mention this, but when she first came back she said that her son and daughter-in-law both have jobs in the city. Maybe she doesn't want to go back to her hometown. After all, young people don't want to leave the city and return to the countryside. Only those of us who are older would want to come back to retire." Aunt Wang replied.
"Well, I won't talk to you anymore. I have to wash all the cassava at home and take them to the factory to be made into flour. If I delay for too long, the quality will deteriorate." Chen Da Jiao suddenly remembered his own family affairs and hurriedly said goodbye to Aunt Wang.
Aunt Wang also returned to her home. When she passed by Chen Shichu's house, she found that the door was still closed, so she knew that Chen Shichu had not returned yet.
She shook her head and muttered in a low voice: "A woman is busy with business all day long, and there is no man to support the family. I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing..."
After Chen Shichu signed the contract with Boss Qin, she drove home. Boss Qin needed a large amount of cassava flour, so she needed to speed up production and could not delay any longer.
After returning to the processing plant and seeing that the workers were working well, she prepared to go home to thank them.
As soon as she opened the door, she keenly sensed that something was wrong in the room. She looked around: the sofa cushions, the decorations on the table, the cabinet under the TV... Although everything was in its original place and did not seem to be lost or thrown around, Chen Shichu still felt something was wrong.
She had a good memory and naturally remembered the specific positions and directions of the things she had placed, but she could instantly tell that the positions of at least five things had been slightly changed.
Chen Shichu became alert because someone had broken into her house, but she was not surprised. This was actually a matter of time. After all, she had built a cassava processing factory from scratch in the past one or two years. She could hear the machines running in the factory every day, and there were many vehicles coming in and out. Everyone could see that she must be making a lot of money.
And she is a widow living alone with no one at home. Isn't she the best target for thieves?
Unfortunately, they were disappointed. Chen Shichu never put really valuable things in the house. She had a companion space. Wouldn’t it be safer and more convenient to put the things directly in the companion space?
However, she kept some cash and commonly used jewelry at home, with a value of about 100,000 yuan, which she had slowly purchased over the past one or two years. After all, she needed to have something stylish to wear when going out to discuss business, and she couldn't let others look down on her.
Chen Shichu listened vigilantly to the sounds in the house and found that there was no other sound. She knew that the intruder had left, so she went up to her room on the second floor and opened the dressing table. Sure enough, the jewelry was gone, and not even the box was left for her.
There was also an antique lamp placed on the bedside, which she liked very much, but now it is nowhere to be found. The total value of these properties is about 500,000 yuan, and the sentence would be many years.
Chen Shichu would not let her things fall into the hands of thieves, so she called the police directly.
Before the police arrived, she directly opened the surveillance video of her home on her mobile phone and easily found the thief.
He was a man in his fifties, about 1.80 meters tall, thin, with a mask on his face and a hat on his head, obviously a disguise.
However, he probably didn't know that Chen Shichu had installed surveillance cameras at home, otherwise he wouldn't have opened the refrigerator, found a bottle of juice, and taken off his mask to drink it on the spot when he passed by the kitchen.
Now his true face was exposed in the surveillance. When Chen Shichu recognized this man, she was a little surprised, because this man was Liang Dashi, whom Matchmaker Li had introduced to her before, a widower with three sons and even many grandchildren.
Unexpectedly, after the marriage proposal failed, he came to his own house to be a thief! Chen Shichu laughed sarcastically. It was not so easy to take advantage of her.
Chen Shichu cut down the video showing Liang Dashi's face and planned to hand it directly to the police.
Where was Liang Dashi at this time? He stole a lot of good things from Chen Shichu's house. He was so happy that he didn't even go home. He went straight to the city and planned to find a faraway place to sell the stolen goods.
"Damn! This widow Chen is so rich! Hehe, I can make a big fortune again..." Liang Dashi looked at the sparkling jewelry he had stolen again and again. They were either gold or silver, and there were also pearls and diamonds. Liang Dashi was a connoisseur of valuables, so he naturally knew that these things could be sold for a lot of money even if they were sold at a discount.
"It's because you refused to marry me! It's your honor that I fell in love with you, but you are so shameless. Then don't blame me for taking something from you..." Liang Dashi snorted coldly and muttered. He had wanted to marry Chen Shichu to serve him because he was attracted by her beauty after she had recovered from her illness. He never expected that Chen Shichu would reject him. He was very dissatisfied.
He thought his family was in good condition, with a newly built house, no worries about food and clothing, and three sons who showed filial piety from time to time. He lived a happy life. He didn't expect that Chen Shichu actually looked down on him, which made him immediately "turn love into hate" for Chen Shichu.
What's more, later Chen Shichu started some e-commerce business and opened a cassava processing factory, earning much more money than him. The difference between the two of them immediately became like heaven and earth. Liang Dashi became even more indignant. If Chen Shichu had agreed to his proposal of marriage, then wouldn't this cassava factory be his?
