Chapter 86: Zhong Xiong's Gossip
The weather is good today, and it is a warm sunny day even in winter. The women sat in the open space, basking in the sun and chatting.
It was almost noon, and the aroma wafted from several large stoves not far away. The greedy children kept glancing to the side.
Fortunately, on this day, the children were all instructed by their elders at home, and no one asked for food from the pot in public.
"Children nowadays are so happy. When we were little, if there was a big banquet in the village, we would gather around the stove in groups and just breathe in the aroma." Aunt Meihua sighed.
Zhong Hui also said: "That's right, we were poor, and we ate less meat, so we were greedy."
Their village was just hit by demolition, otherwise, they wouldn't have such a good life.
Seeing that the dishes were about to be served, but the men had not returned yet, Yang Fangqin wanted to make a phone call to ask.
"Why haven't you come back yet?"
"Don't worry, there's so much work to do. I'll be back when it's time."
In the ancestral tomb of Shangtuan Village.
The men are all busy. An industrial park is to be built here, and the ancestral graves are to be moved to the cemetery.
Zhong Xiong had been busy all morning and now he found a piece of grass to sit down and rest for a while.
"Brother Zhong Xiong, are you tired?" Zhong Fang came over at some point and handed Zhong Xiong a cigarette.
Zhong Xiong took it and put it on his ear: "It's okay."
"What have you been busy with lately? We brothers haven't seen each other for a long time. We should have a good drink later." Zhong Fang handed over a fire.
Zhong Xiong took the cigarette, lit it and brought it to his lips.
"Busy with nothing. It's the same thing all year round." Zhong Xiong said with a smile.
Zhong Fang said with a grin, "Brother, don't hide it from me. Have you started construction on the land you bought in the west of the city?"
Zhong Xiong looked at him in surprise. Since many people knew about this, he didn't hide it. "Work has started."
Zhong Fang came closer affectionately and said, "Brother, that piece of land is so big, it must be hard for you to work alone, right? How about I share the burden with you?"
Zhong Xiong frowned. This meant he wanted to invest. If this happened a few days ago, Zhong Xiong might have been tempted. After all, he was short of funds.
But now, he has decided to go to the bank for a loan, and Zhong Xiong is unwilling to give away a piece of the cake he has already obtained to others.
"Zhong Fang, it's not that I don't want you to invest, it's just that the land is only this big. There are five brothers and sisters in our family, especially Zhong Hui. She has as much money as we do. They all have shares." Zhong Xiong spread his hands, indicating that there was nothing he could do.
A trace of frustration flashed across Zhong Fang's face. I heard that the area in the west of the city would be connected to a subway in the future. That would be a good location and would definitely increase in value in the future.
He was well-informed, but unfortunately, because of the divorce, He Yanqing took away a small half of the demolition compensation, so it was really difficult for him to buy land. Otherwise, he would have bought a piece of land no matter what.
Zhong cursed himself in his heart, what an idiot, why did he get a divorce? Now everything is lost, he can't make money, and he has lost his son. He is really sick.
Zhong Fang left in a huff. Zhong Xiong finished his cigarette, picked up a piece of dry grass and chewed it. He had previously thought that the land was large and it would be a good deal to rent it out as an office building after development. Now it seems that the land has great potential.
Then we have to hold on tighter, and no one can get a piece of the pie.
Zhong Xiong sat on the ground thinking. He was tired after a whole morning and didn't want to get up. Suddenly, a shadow fell in front of him. Zhong Xiong looked up.
"Brother Yong, come and sit for a while." Zhong Xiong smiled and patted the grass next to him.
Zhong Yong sat down, glanced at Zhong Fang, who was looking sullen not far away, and whispered, "Don't agree to what Zhong Fang said to you. He's been looking for someone to invest in the company lately."
Zhong Yong also bought land in the west of the city. The land he bought is bigger than Zhong Xiong's, and he is also building a house there.
Zhong Xiong nodded: "I know."
"Zhong Fang is on the decline. Back then, Zhong Fang's business was better than ours. Do you know why he is on the decline?" Zhong Yong looked at Zhong Xiong and said.
Zhong Xiong spat out the dry grass in his mouth: "I made a mistake. I offended my ex-brother-in-law during the divorce. Zhong Fang's business is also over."
"Offending my former brother-in-law is one thing, but for a man, family comes first. If there are problems in the marriage, then the fortune will also be affected." Zhong Yong said, his eyes fixed on Zhong Xiong.
Zhong Xiong was now aware of something: "No, Brother Yong, did you misunderstand something?"
Zhong Yong didn't come over: "There's no misunderstanding."
"No, Brother Yong, don't say anything careless. I have never spent the night outside. Even if I stay up late at a social event, I always go home. Why do you think I'm dishonest?" Zhong Xiong was anxious. Who the hell is making up rumors about me?
Zhong Yong looked at him suspiciously: "You really didn't mess around outside?"
"No, who is messing around? Brother Yong, I have always been an upright person, okay?" Zhong Xiong patted his chest and said loudly.
"Speak more quietly, more quietly, I'm afraid others won't hear you." Zhong Yong quickly pulled his hand down.
"No, Brother Yong, there's no wind in the empty space. Where did you hear that?" Zhong Xiong wanted to curse, but he didn't even know it.
"I also heard it from someone. It sounded very detailed. They said that one time in a hotel, they saw you go in with a woman." Zhong Yong said with difficulty.
"Who said that? Bullshit, I never did that." Zhong Xiong said gritting his teeth. Who is so inhumane as to spread rumors and kill people?
"You really don't have it?" Zhong Yong asked again.
"Really not!" Zhong Xiong said firmly.
"That's strange. What that person said is true. Don't be anxious. Let me think about it. Who did I say that to?" Zhong Yong murmured and patted his forehead again.
"Oh, I can't remember it for a moment. Really, where have I heard it before?" Zhong Yong really couldn't remember it for a moment.
Zhong Xiong was also anxious. If his wife knew this, he would not be able to live anymore.
"Brother Yong, did you remember that I'm going to confront him?"
Zhong Yong couldn't remember it no matter how hard he tried, and the more anxious he got, the harder it was to remember.
"Have you remembered?" Zhong Xiong jumped anxiously.
"Don't be anxious, let me think about it. Who said it? Who was it?" Zhong Yong scratched his head. He only heard it once, and since he had a lot of things to do recently, he took note of it. Who was that person? Oh my god, he couldn't even remember it.
Zhong Xiong looked at him suspiciously: "Brother Yong, you are not going to play a joke on me for no reason, are you?"
Zhong Yong's face darkened. "How is that possible? Am I that kind of person?"
"Oh, I remember now, I remember now."
