As we were about to pass Qiaoxi Village, my uncle turned his head and looked over there. When he could no longer see any of the village, he said, "Qiaoxi Village has changed a lot. The garbage dump outside has been cleaned up. There are people tiling the exterior walls of houses. Are they sure that Qiaoxi Village will be demolished?"
Chen Jin: "They believe it for half a year and then don't believe it for half a year. They are fickle and just waiting for the pie to fall. The young people are hanging around in the village. It's fine if it's demolished, but what if it's not demolished...ah, bah, bah, bah, demolish, demolish, demolish! It must be demolished!"
The third uncle also agreed, "Yes! It must be demolished! What they do is their business, but we have the land and the building there, and we can get a lot of money by demolishing it. Your third brother said you want to buy a luxury car?"
"Haha, I'm just saying it casually. We'll see how the situation turns out later." Chen Jin felt that she was still a bit stingy. If a luxury car cost millions, she might not be willing to buy it when she got to the car shop.
As for the 2.3 million invested in my uncle, I am still uncertain about what will happen to him in the future. I have to wait and see. But the location there is good, so even if it is not good, I will make money. The main reason is that her uncle has mentioned to her that she should keep the money earned from the investment profits first, as he also wants to get involved in the land in the suburbs of South City later... She has no business sense, so she'd better just follow her uncle and reap the benefits.
However, the money had been planned for future use, and the little money she had left was not enough for her to buy a luxury car. Therefore, I hope that Cheng Group will quickly exert its power and conquer Qiaoxi Village!
Oh yes! And her peach orchard!
Speaking of this peach orchard, when her mother brought her back to Qiaodong Village to settle down, there were very few plots of land available, so the village decided to allocate a large piece of wasteland to the west of the village that was not suitable for farming to them. Later, her grandparents divided their land between her and her mother, and the wasteland remained idle until four years ago when her mother started to clear the land, intending to plant litchi trees and expand their orchard. But she was too busy and never planted the lychee trees. Later, her uncle persuaded her to plant peach trees...
God has opened the doors and windows for demolition for her.
Hehehehe!
If her third uncle hadn't been in the car, she would have wanted to yell at the top of her lungs.
The circle drawn for the demolition of Qiaodong Village has been cordoned off, and there is construction noise everywhere. Two buildings have already been built. Chen Jin parked the car on the side of the road and looked at them for a while. The two buildings are now at least fifteen stories high and are still being built. There are all kinds of red banners with slogans.
There is a road next to it that leads to the village ancestral hall and her family's peach orchard, which is wider than when I came during the Qingming Festival. Chen Jin drove along this road and met several workers walking towards her, looking at her car curiously.
The third uncle said, "Don't come here alone in the future. Your eldest uncle and I will decide what to plant in the fields and then hire someone to do the work."
"There are all kinds of people here now. Let alone a girl, even if a strong man comes, I'm afraid something might happen."
But it was daytime now, so they were driving and not afraid. He just suddenly thought of this problem and felt that he was a bit impulsive to go out today.
Too excited.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you guys to arrange."
The car drove directly to the peach orchard and circled around it. In addition to their land planted with peach trees, there were also two other lands with a few scattered fruit trees, one belonging to Uncle Chen and the other to the old branch secretary.
"Should we remind the two families? I'll discuss it with your uncle. I'm afraid that if he does, everyone will come to him and ask for the information. But let's not remind them. We are all members of the Chen family. If we plant the trees without telling anyone, it will be embarrassing when we meet in the future."
Chen Jin understood that if he suppressed the news without giving any reminders, by the time the other party realized what was happening, their friendship would be over. Many of her generation’s children are only children, and unlike the previous generation, they do not have a deep sense of identification with “family” and “homeland”. The eldest uncle and the third uncle would definitely remind Uncle Chen Wu and the old branch secretary later, but she didn't know to what extent they could remind her.
After coming here, Chen Jin felt that she and her third uncle were quite stupid. They made this trip just to take a look, but now there is nothing they can do.
But she was in a very happy mood. Even though she had to start work tomorrow, she still felt happy!
It took more than two hours to drive here from the small western-style building, but I ended up leaving after just ten minutes. Chen Jin thought, since he was already here, he might as well take a look around the area.
We drove down to Mutang Village. The construction progress there was much slower than that of Qiaodong Village. They had just started laying the foundation. But when Chen Jin stood on the main road and looked over there, he could see that the scale of Mutang Village was much larger than that of Qiaodong Village.
The last time Mutang Village was demolished, basically all the land in the entire village was included. There was even a small hill, and there was nothing left to demolish or expropriate.
On the way back, we went around Qiaoxi Village and drove directly to our own building at the end of the village.
As soon as Chen Jin entered, he saw his cousin Meng Chong and his cousin's mother. Chen Jin had to call them "cousin aunt".
There were too many relatives in her family, and she didn't know how to address them clearly until she entered junior high school. At one point, she followed Chen Ting and Chen Jia in calling people. Later, she slowly sorted out the relationship map of her relatives, and rarely called the wrong people, unless they were relatives she was not familiar with.
With his cousin's mother-in-law coming to help look after the store, cousin Mengchong can spare more time to manage the several buildings in his family, and occasionally he has to be asked to help if there is any repair work needed.
Now that cousin Mengchong's life is getting better, my uncles and uncles are also happy.
However, cousin Meng Chong was considering whether to rent a shop in Jinxiu Community from her. If Qiaoxi Village were suddenly demolished one day, he would lose his job here.
Chen Jin pondered for a moment and said, "Then I will keep the other store first. Even if this one has to continue to run, cousin, you can ask your uncle to look at the store in Jinxiu Community. There is already a small supermarket there. You can discuss with your uncle what kind of business you can do."
Cousin Mengchong nodded in agreement.
Since his third uncle wanted to go and see the house at home, Chen Jin walked around the village leisurely with his hands behind his back.
The chess and card shop I saw last time I passed by is no longer there. I don’t know whether it was forced to close by the villagers or the owner moved to another location.
Several houses that had started construction earlier had finished their work long ago, and now only one or two are still under renovation. The others have already been ventilated, and a sign for rent has been hung in front of the door of the house on the first floor below. Chen Jin walked over to take a look. The rent was a little more expensive than her house, and most of them were booked at 120.
But their house has been renovated now and is bigger than hers, so it's reasonable for it to be a little more expensive.
Chen Jin unknowingly walked to her grandfather's house at the village head, and happened to meet Liu Yinan and Liu Yibei who were walking out of the courtyard gate. The twin brother and sister rolled their eyes at her, and Chen Jin sneered in disdain.
Just as she was about to turn around and go back, Old Man Liu came out and saw her, and called her to his home.
"You've already reached the door. Why don't you walk a few more steps in and sit down? Can I eat you?" Old man Liu asked her to sit down and asked her if she wanted to eat watermelon.
"Since you asked me, I'll eat it." Chen Jin unceremoniously moved the electric fan towards herself and glanced into the room. She didn't see Liu Shisheng and Jiang Zijun, which was exactly what she wanted.
It's summer vacation, and these two twins came back alone to spend the summer vacation? It's quite fresh. Could it be that their parents were too embarrassed to ask the old man for money and sent them back to play the emotional card with the old man? Are you sure you want to study abroad?
It’s no wonder that Chen Jin missed them so much. It was because when she came here before, she often saw the two twins dislike the poor living conditions of their grandfather’s house in the village. They don't look like the kind of people who would come back specifically to visit Old Man Liu.
"One South, one North, come and eat watermelon." Old man Liu waved to the twin brother and sister standing outside the gate and sighed in his heart. These two children are really tactless and don't know how to please others. After all, Chen Jin is their eldest sister. It is said that Chen Jin is always very nice to her cousins from her uncle's family.
To give you a recent example, Chen Jin even called to inquire about Meiying opening a store. But these two are like complete strangers.
They don’t even think about whether their parents’ current salary can support them to study abroad? Even if we grit our teeth and send the child abroad, we can only afford to support one at most.
"You young people should have topics to talk about and communicate more." Old man Liu felt that he was really worried sick. If it weren't for the fact that these two twins were particularly favored by him among his many grandchildren, he would not have bothered to mention these things.
Chen Jin glanced at him and said, "I have nothing to talk about with them."
Chen Jin is not someone who lacks love, so she won't be seduce away by others just because of some family affection.
He glanced at the twin siblings who were glaring at him angrily, "I don't know you well. Don't look for me if you have any problems. I have no feelings for you. Don't even think about saying we have the same father. When I see you in trouble, I will just step on you. Do you understand?"
Liu Yibei was almost mad at her and cried, his eyes were red, "We don't need your help! What are you showing off for?"
So fragile. She didn’t say anything unpleasant! Unless her words touched someone's lungs. Hey, you really are thinking about her things? How shameless!
Chen Jin really started to show off, shaking his head and showing off, "I have the ability to show off, if you have the ability, you can also show off, no one can stop you."
"You have no ability at all! You only rely on the things your mother left for you. Otherwise, do you think you have anything worth bragging about?" Liu Yibei glared at her.
Chen Jin said confidently, "I have a good mother! If your mother is incompetent, that's your mother's problem. You should supervise her when you go back. What's going on? You blame others for being competent when you don't make progress yourself?"
Chen Jin took two more bites of watermelon and hummed "Mom is the best in the world~"
"Let's go. I don't want to talk to this kind of person." Liu Yinan couldn't stand Chen Jin, so he pulled his sister Liu Yibei out angrily. But Old Man Liu chased them and told them to stay in the village.
Old Liu was really helpless and looked at Chen Jin with an indescribable expression.
You can say that she is successful, but she never behaves maturely or steadily. Whenever she comes home, she becomes as noisy as the Monkey King in the TV series. But if you say she is childish and ignorant, she has done everything she wants in a lively and colorful way.
"Don't let them disgust me anymore, or I'll scold them next time." Chen Jin suddenly sighed and said, "They are so useless. They can't stand a few words. Every day, they just imitate their mother's aggrieved look. I really don't understand. They want to ask me for help. They should have the attitude of asking for help, right?"
Seeing Old Man Liu looking over, Chen Jin added, "But they are overthinking. I won't help them. I have money that can be exchanged for gold. I'd be happy if I threw it into the water and heard a sound. Give it to them? No, if I give it to them today, my mother will have to come to see me tonight."
Old man Liu frowned, "You came here just to show off to me? I know you are rich, so you should be more modest. Things change over time, and no one knows what will happen in the future. So be a good person and leave some room for improvement..."
"Tsk! That's not interesting." Chen Jin crossed his legs. "You should have said this to yourself more than 20 years ago. Things change over time."
Old man Liu opened his mouth, but couldn't find any words to refute.
Just because of the ugly divorce between his youngest son and Chen Jin's mother, he can't even hold his head up in front of Chen Jin now. He wanted to be tough, but seeing that there was no further news on the demolition, the rent collected from several buildings seemed to be high, but it was enviable that Chen Jin could use the money to invest and make a lot of money.
In addition, his youngest son just came back and mentioned that he wanted to send one in the south and one in the north to study abroad, which would cost a lot of money, and he definitely could not come up with that much money. If he really takes out all his savings, the family will be divided and his words will no longer have any effect.
Seeing that he was unhappy, Chen Jin felt a little better. But she just came in, not here just to annoy people.
"I see that several families in the village are trying to split up their households. Will yours do the same?"
Old Man Liu snorted heavily and turned his head away, not wanting to look at her boastful look. He knew that she would not have anything good to say afterwards. Keep silent.
"Oh, then I understand. Your family has no plans to split up the household." Chen Jin was happy: This is the best. She was happy when she anticipated that their family would be in chaos in the future.
Another purpose was that she was worried that if the house was really demolished, she would get too much and the Liu family would become jealous and come to cause trouble for her. But as long as they don't separate their households now, when the house is really demolished in the future, it will be a mess internally. They won't even have enough time to fight for shares with their brothers, let alone cause trouble for her.
She had thought it through. If Qiaoxi Village was really demolished, she would be the first to sign, take the money and run away immediately.
"Why are you asking this?" Old man Liu suddenly noticed something strange. Could Chen Jin be someone who cared about the division of the family? From what she said, it didn't sound like she was here to watch the fun, but rather just to confirm. But what did she do to confirm it?
Chen Jin's heart tightened, but he remained expressionless and looked away while picking up another piece of watermelon.
I cursed the old fox in my heart, who could catch any slight movement. snort! Let him guess! He couldn't guess and couldn't ask, so he must be very upset!
"By the way, why did you suddenly think of coming to the village today?" Old Man Liu stared at her face, trying to find the answer.
"I have such a large residential plot and several buildings here, so I have to come and take a look. The rent collected every month is higher than my salary, I have to pay attention to it." Chen Jin took a look at the decoration of the house. Only the first floor where he lives is well decorated. The other floors are not tiled. Hey, the demolition estimate will have to be reduced by one level then.
Old Liu looked at her sideways, "You keep talking nonsense all day long. Can't you just tell me the truth?"
Chen Jin laughed, "I'm telling the truth! I don't understand what's wrong with you. You have to extract so much information from one sentence. And you said it in the village. It was me who said Qiaoxi Village was going to be demolished, wasn't it?"
"I didn't say that! I don't know who told it. The village chief and the village party secretary have visited your uncle many times, so maybe the news came from your uncle."
"That's impossible. My uncle can't have any news." She is the one who has the news! Unexpected? !
Chen Jin felt that what Liu Yibei said just now was right, she was just showing off.
"No more talking, let's go home." Chen Jin took another bite of watermelon as he left. He held an umbrella and ate the watermelon while walking. He also took a look at the excitement in each household. When he heard someone quarreling, he would stroll over and wow! Battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Tsk tsk, this family is no good. They can only pat their thighs and sing opera, bringing up the same old things over and over again, which makes her anxious. They are not as fierce as the fierce wives in Qiaodong Village at all. They would never make a fuss if they could take action.
"Third sister! You're home, what are you looking at here?"
"Let's watch the show." Unfortunately, judging from the current situation, the show may not have a conclusion even if it continues tonight. Chen Jin shook his head in disappointment, trotted over and followed his third uncle to the end of the village.
"Uncle San, did you just go to see the village chief?"
"I didn't look for them, but they came to our door." Uncle San lowered his voice and said, "Don't come to Qiaoxi Village anymore. We are going to plant fruit trees on the village land. They will definitely know about it. Then a bunch of people will come to us to ask about the situation."
"Okay, my vacation is halfway over, and I won't have much time to come over once I start working." Some people might be jealous.
Chen Jin thought that her grandfather would call her after he knew that people from Qiaodong Village had returned to the village to plant fruit trees. However, she did not expect that the Liu family did not call her, but came directly to the small western-style building to find her.
"You said you were outside my neighborhood? Which neighborhood? Oh, the small western-style building. I'm not in the small western-style building. I'm living in Hanlin Garden recently." Chen Jin closed the door of his home and went back to the pavilion in the backyard, continuing, "I'm very busy. Don't come to see me."
"What fruit trees? The village is planting fruit trees? I don't know. Is there such a thing? I'll ask my uncle later. You guys go find my uncle. I don't know about these things."
"I'm not lying to you...Okay, okay, okay, whatever you want to think, if you want to wait at the door, then wait then."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Jin put the phone aside and smiled at Shen Baichuan who was sitting diagonally across the fence, “A few unfamiliar people.”
Shen Baichuan: “Do you want me to go out and tell the guard not to let them in?”
"No need. The security guard is very dedicated. They look like they are here to cause trouble. No one goes out to escort them in, so they can't get in." Chen Jin said, "Excuse me. They are all relatives from my father's side. They don't know much."
Do you think that Chen Jin is really a member of their Liu family? And found her home? Crazy!
Shen Baichuan expressed his understanding, “Every family always has a few annoying relatives, I understand.”
Later, people from the Liu family called a few more times. Chen Jin hung up the calls and called his cousin Meng Chong to ask what was going on in Qiaoxi Village.
"Today, someone suddenly discovered that people from Qiaodong Village were planting fruit trees. It was your village chief's son, I think Chen Wenzhen, who told him when he came to Qiaoxi Village to look for Liu Guangman. Now everyone in Qiaoxi Village knows that the land in Qiaodong Village is going to be expropriated."
"Chen Wenzhen said that your uncle has many sources of information, and he also wants to acquire a piece of land in Qiaoxi Village to build a building..."
Chen Wenzhen has a big leaky mouth!
Chen Jin wanted to complain about his little misdeeds directly to the village chief!
But just think about it. The village chief is not young anymore, so he shouldn’t get sick because of Chen Wenzhen’s trivial matter. Besides, Aunt Ke Xin might have already communicated with Chen Wenzhen’s wife Zhang Meixian.
snort! There will be a time when he will be dealt with!
Chen Jin called his uncle again to ask about the situation and heard that the village chief and the village party secretary of Qiaoxi Village had gone to his uncle's company to block people. Chen Jin took the opportunity to complain that it was Chen Wenzhen who was talking nonsense in Qiaoxi Village, and also revealed what Chen Wenzhen had done in Xiuli Community.
"What's wrong?" Chen Jin touched her face, and there was nothing on her face.
Shen Baichuan smiled, “I found that your life is quite exciting.”
Chen Jin looked at him expectantly, "If my peach orchard is expropriated and my buildings are demolished, my life will be more exciting."
