"I also have a share of Chen Garden. It originally belonged to us. Why should I give it to someone else?"
There were also a few young people who jumped up to disagree, because they felt that Chen Garden had always been the Chen family's property. Although they were only descendants of a side branch, they should be able to get a share at least.
Thirty billion, even if it's just a small amount, it would be a huge difference if divided up.
Besides, they had never lived in Chen Garden, so it would be a good thing if they could share some money now.
"Ahem, is this what you really think? Do you know that Chen Garden was pawned fifty years ago and given to someone else? We just helped take care of it for fifty years. It's not ours, so none of you have a share in it. People should be conscientious and not go against their conscience..."
The skinny old man was very excited at this moment. He started coughing violently and cursed at Chen Kui and the others. His son and nephew gathered around him in a panic. Someone quickly gave the old man a sip of water to calm him down.
"Conscience, how much is conscience worth? Can things that happened fifty years ago count now? Isn't it said that debts are wiped out when a person dies? The people who signed the contract have passed away. They haven't been here for fifty years. This Chen Garden belongs to the Chen family. If they come here to sue, my eldest cousin is a lawyer famous overseas. They will definitely not win a lawsuit like this..."
The descendants of the Chen family are all very powerful. Among them is a lawyer who opened a law firm. The cases he took on were all major international cases, and there was no case that he handled that was unsuccessful. This is also the confidence that Chen Kui had in repeatedly talking about suing.
The lawyer who was named, wearing glasses, remained silent and kept looking at the skinny old man.
"Uncle, in fact, if this case is really brought to court, we could win or lose. It all depends on what everyone thinks. If we want to win, we can point out that our Chen family has lived here for hundreds of years. This is an indisputable fact. There is a practice abroad..."
When the great lawyer Chen Biao said this, Chen Kui's face was overjoyed, and some members of the Chen family were obviously also tempted. However, the skinny old man on the bed, who had a teacup in his hand and was about to drink water, dropped the cup heavily to the ground.
"Conscience, your conscience. I don't care about your lawsuit, but people must have a conscience. You have read your grandfather's letters and know the cause and effect. Doesn't your conscience hurt? Can you tell me now, is this Chen Garden really ours?"
The skinny old man stared at Chen Biao and his face turned red. He was different from Chen Kui.
He is the core member of the Chen family. His uncle had shown him his grandfather's letters and knew why Chen Garden was no longer the Chen family's property. Naturally, he also knew that Chen Garden was really pawned back then.
They were just responsible for guarding it. Now that the owner has come to take it back, they just need to return it intact.
"Yes, uncle, I didn't think much about it. Blame me, blame me. I listened to your arrangement. People's hearts cannot be deceived. We can't deceive ourselves. 30 billion. As long as our descendants are virtuous, our ancestors can build such a good house. We descendants can also build one..."
When Chen Biao said this, the skinny old man's eldest son also smiled and nodded.
"Yes, we should be honest. Although grandpa is gone, the contract is still there, and we have all read grandpa's letters. This is correct. Our Chen family has been virtuous and capable over the years, and each of them has made great achievements. It's worth it..."
The skinny old man's son is called Chen Chuan, who does business in the coastal area. He is honest and low-key. Although he cannot be compared with the richest man like Song Wanhua, his family is extremely wealthy, and his two children are studying abroad and are also very sensible.
Moreover, these core members of the family had all read the letters left by their grandfather, and they knew early on that Chen Yuan had actually been pawned long ago, and they were just guarding him.
This is also the reason why the skinny old man only wants to live in the low wooden house and refuses to live in the main house no matter what.
He always put his family in the position of guarding because they were not the owners of Chen Garden.
When the owner comes, he will move out and he will have no regrets in the future.
“We object!”
Chen Kui wanted to object, but he saw Chen Chuan's face turn cold and he scolded him.
"Chen Kui, your family was divided a long time ago. This Chen Garden belonged to Grandpa alone fifty years ago, but he pawned the house. You have no right to make comments. We are all Grandpa's descendants. We all agree with what he did..."
"Dad, now that the owner of Chen Garden has returned, you can rest assured. After the handover is completed, I will take you to live in the coastal area and build a small Chen Garden for you there to take care of you in your old age..."
After Chen Chuan said this, the skinny old man felt much more relieved and nodded with a smile. Chen Biao and others also expressed that they would follow their uncle's arrangements and obey their grandfather's last wishes.
As for Chen Kui and his people, they were originally a side branch. Although they disagreed and even expressed their intention to sue, they felt a chill in their hearts when they saw Chen Biao's smiling face.
In a lawsuit, no one can beat Chen Biao.
When it comes to money, no one can compare to Chen Chuan, and those people from the side branches are also sensible. Since the core members of the Chen family have stated some last wishes, they will just obey them.
The matter was finally settled.
Finally, the skinny old man was helped to sit on a wheelchair, and let Chen Chuan push the wheelchair to take some photos in the house, and then took this group of Chen family members to look around the Chen Garden.
"Over there, those are the trees that your great grandfather planted with his own hands. They have grown so big now. That tree was planted by your grandfather, and that one was planted by me..."
For the skinny old man, Chen Garden was once a home, a place with beautiful memories.
So he remembers every blade of grass and every tree here very clearly.
Although it is a bit sad to say this, I am mostly happy.
Because his wish was finally fulfilled, he would have no regrets even if he died. He could live with his conscience and had the face to visit his father Chen Guangliang in the underworld.
This house was the one signed by Chen Guangliang and Tiandi Pawnshop back then.
They, the descendants, only knew that their ancestor had pawned the house, the pawn ticket was in someone else's hands, and that their father had left a suicide note in which he repeatedly warned them that one must keep one's word and not betray one's heart.
God is watching what you do!
Chen Chuan saw that his father finally agreed to leave Chen Garden and was willing to settle down with him in the coastal area. He still had to deal with some handover issues of Chen Garden, and he was also very curious.
Who is the owner of Chen Garden?
There is also a secret that has kept the Chen family safe for fifty years. He also wants to ask, what did his grandfather get in exchange for the Chen Garden?
Why have grandpa and father been hesitant and hiding it all the time?
