Chapter 333 Tripping Up

Chang Yancheng was originally sitting. But as soon as Chang Tianyou got angry, Chang Yancheng immediately stood up: "Father, don't worry. Your son will definitely get the other piece of land as well."

Chang Tianyou looked at Chang Yancheng and asked, "How do you want me to bring up my past support for the revolution again? Or ask them to give you another chance?"

"I……"

“The rise and fall of a nation is the responsibility of every citizen. Although we have settled abroad, our roots are here. I came back this time not just to make money. But you, you've come and caused me trouble as soon as you arrive.” Chang Tianyou looked at Chang Yancheng and said, “You always complain that I'm clinging to power, but how can I hand over the entire Chang family to you like this? I think you should go back. I'll handle things here myself.”

Chang Yancheng was stunned after hearing this: "Father, I... I just bought a piece of land from someone. How... how can you think I can't manage the Chang family?"

"Because you only look at the surface of things. I ask you, have you ever thought about why the two plots of land you were interested in are both in the hands of that Ms. Wang?"

Chang Yancheng thought for a moment: "It was just a coincidence, wasn't it?"

"A coincidence?" Chang Tianyou looked at the man in the long robe and said, "Ah Ye, you're not the only one in this world who knows feng shui."

Aye and Chang Yancheng grew up together, and Chang Tianyou always treated him like another son: "Aye, what you've figured out, others have definitely figured out too."

Chang Yancheng thought it was impossible. "If they had figured it out, they wouldn't have given the land to us."

Aye agreed. "That's right. Uncle Chang, if they knew those two plots of land were treasures, they would definitely hold onto them tightly."

Chang Tianyou shook his head at Chang Yancheng and Aye: "You two! If they were greedy, they wouldn't have returned the land to the government; they would have sold it to you directly. You two aren't even as insightful as that woman."

Chang Tianyou explained to Chang Tianyou and A Ye why Xiaoman wanted to return the land to the government. After Chang Tianyou's explanation, Chang Yancheng and A Ye finally understood the implications.

Aye: "Uncle Chang, do they really know those two plots of land are treasure troves?"

"Hmm. One good piece might be a coincidence, but two good pieces are the mark of an expert."

Chang Yancheng: "Father, does this woman have some kind of background?" Even he couldn't have imagined that this woman would think of such a thing.

What do you think?

"I... Father, what should we do now? Should I return that land to them?"

Chang Tianzuo glanced at his son: "They gave you the land for the greater good."

"What if... what if they deliberately try to trip us up in the future?"

"Now you're worried about people causing trouble for you? Why didn't you think more carefully when you were asking for land from them?"

"Father, please don't scold your son. Please help me think of a solution to this."

Aye chimed in, "Uncle Chang, it's not Yan Cheng's fault. That family just doesn't look like a powerful or influential family at all."

Chang Yancheng: "Yes. There was just a woman with an old man, a bunch of children, and a horse. I thought they were just trying their luck here."

Chang Tianzuo looked at Chang Yancheng and said, "Have I ever told you that you should be careful of people who seem out of place around them?"

"I did say that."

"Alright. You two go back to your rooms and rest."

Chang Yancheng: "Then what about this matter?"

"I'll handle this. You don't need to worry about it."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Father."

"Um."

After Chang Yancheng and A Ye left, Chang Tianzuo rubbed his forehead. "Old Qi, do you think I shouldn't have brought them with me this time? One is arrogant, and the other is conceited."

Old Qi was a long-time servant in the Chang family. He had been standing behind Chang Tianzuo the whole time. "The master and Master Ye also want to earn more money for the family."

“A gentleman loves money, but he acquires it in a proper way. This time, I originally wanted to bring Qiyun along.” Qiyun is Chang Tianzuo’s eldest grandson and Chang Yancheng’s son.

Old Qi: "Domestic policies have just changed. We'd better be cautious. It's best if Young Master Qiyun doesn't come back for now."

Chang Tianzuo also considered this, which is why he did not bring Chang Qiyun back.

Old Qi: "Grandpa, how do you plan to handle this matter?"

"Go and prepare a backup of the generous gift. I will personally visit you tomorrow to apologize."

"You're going in person?!"

"Um."

"This... can't we let the master go? Although that Ms. Wang has connections, her connections may not be that deep."

"Forget it. Let him go; he'll probably just mess things up again."

"Then I'll go prepare."

"Um."

Meanwhile, Chang Yancheng returned to his and A Ye's room and slammed his hand on the table. "I'm almost a grandfather and he's still lecturing me."

Aye poured Chang Yancheng a glass of water. "We really didn't handle this matter properly."

Chang Yancheng picked up his cup and took a sip of water. "There's no need to smash the cup. Ah Ye, let me tell you, he just doesn't like me."

"How could that be? Uncle Chang only has you as his son."

"Yes. He only has one son, me. But he not only has a son, but also a grandson. If I hadn't tried so hard, he would have brought that kid Qiyun with him this time."

Aye smiled. "Isn't Qiyun your son too?"

“He’s my son. But he doesn’t listen to me. If the old man hands over the family business to him, what will happen to Yueya and Weiyun?”

Yueya was Chang Yancheng's mistress, and Weiyun was Yueya and Chang Yancheng's son.

Chang Yancheng was eager to acquire those two plots of land because he wanted to make a good impression on Old Master Chang. If Old Master Chang handed over the family business to him, then he could decide how to divide the spoils between Qiyun and Weiyun.

"This matter needs to be considered carefully. If we had thought it through more and asked around more this time, we wouldn't have gotten scolded by the old man."

On the other side, after Xiaoman finished asking her question, Naonao and Tengteng thought about it.

Nao Nao: "Since they were brought here by Xiao Zhang, it means the government wants to give them those two plots of land."

Tengteng: "They can help us spread the message that we want to reform."

Zuo Zuo: "There are many prosperous places, but not many people who supported the revolution dare to come back to do business now."

Youyou: "It's not advisable to be high-profile now."

Sister: "The fact that they spent so much gold to buy those two plots of land means they knew those two plots were different from the others."

Younger brother: "We can't have our family taking all the benefits."

Xiaoman looked at Lao Shang. "Uncle Shang, is that guy in the long robe an expert in the I Ching or the Eight Trigrams?"

"Hmm." Old Shang stroked his beard. "But his aptitude is about the same as Youyou's." Youyou was the slowest learner of the I Ching and Bagua among the children.

Xiaoman explained to the children why she wanted to return the land to the government. "We earn money to spend, not to cause trouble. Some money is worth earning, and some isn't. Remember that?"

Nao Nao, Tengteng, Zuo Zuo, You You, older sister, younger brother: "Got it."

"Okay. Let's go back inside and rest. We'll choose another plot of land tomorrow."

The next day, Chang Tianzuo was stunned when he saw Xiaoman's family.
