Chen Chongshan still wore that decorative smile on his face, but his heart had turned to ice. He watched the couple's shoddy performance. In front of them, it seemed that they were willing to abandon everything for money, and for a little money, they were willing to scheme against their orphaned nephews.
Chen Chongshan was filled with anger. These were an unreasonable couple. Chen Chongshan had thought that his own difficulties were over and that he should put himself in their shoes and try to understand them, since they were his uncle and aunt after all.
But now, they have actually tried to scheme against him again. This situation is unacceptable to Chen Chongshan. Although he still has a smile on his face, his eyes are fixed on Chen Futian.
Under Chen Chongshan's gaze, Chen Futian's expression changed slightly. He pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Land is always appreciating in value. Besides, it's not going to be given to outsiders anyway, so there's no question of whether it's worth it or not."
"That's true."
Chen Chongshan nodded, then laughed: "But Second Uncle, we're not family."
"Besides, how come I heard that our area is going to be requisitioned?"
Chen Chongshan looked at Chen Futian and Zhang Lan with a seemingly gentle smile, but he directly laid everything out in his mouth.
Zhang Lan and Chen Futian's expressions changed instantly. They exchanged a few glances, and then Zhang Lan said to Chen Chongshan, "Chongshan, where did you hear this news? We've been talking about this land requisition for ages, and it's never been true. You can't believe it."
"But this time, how can you say it's true?"
Chen Chongshan chuckled and said, "There's no smoke without fire. I'm not short of money right now. Since there's this rumor, this place will probably be expropriated sooner or later. Anyone can sit back and wait for the property to appreciate in value."
Chen Chongshan cut to the chase, and Zhang Lan's face instantly turned gloomy. She suddenly sneered and said, "You can choose not to sell the homestead that belongs to you, but you must return the homestead that belongs to us."
"Belonging to you?"
Chen Chongshan snorted coldly: "Then tell me, which inch of this land belongs to you?"
“The homestead was originally intended to be divided equally between the two brothers. Your original purchase agreement was just a note with no legal basis. Chen Chongshan, we're giving you 180,000 yuan now. You can keep it if you want. Otherwise, if it goes to court, you'll have to return the land to me.”
Zhang Lan instantly abandoned all pretense of civility and spoke fiercely to Chen Chongshan.
“If you want to sue, then go ahead and sue. As long as I’m here, you can forget about taking a single piece of this homestead.”
Chen Chongshan gave a cold shout, then pushed open the door to the main room. A biting wind rushed in, and Chen Chongshan instinctively tensed up. He then turned to the side and said, "Go away, you're not welcome here."
"Hmph, you won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences. Chen Chongshan, just you wait."
Zhang Lan snorted coldly, stood up abruptly, and stormed outside. Chen Futian also stood up, looked at Chen Chongshan, and sighed, "Chongshan, why are you doing this?"
"Hmph, Chen Futian, look here."
Chen Chongshan pointed directly at the altar in the middle of the main room, his tone becoming agitated: "Grandpa, Grandma, my dad, and my mom are all here watching. Tell me, who would do this? Who would want to do this?"
"Sigh..." Chen Futian glanced at the altar in the high hall, his expression changed, and then he sighed and walked outside.
"Take all your things away."
Suddenly, Chen Chongming's angry voice rang out from the inner room, and then through the window of that room, some fruit, nutritional supplements, and even the cane were all thrown out.
Because of its owner's anger, Ah Huang suddenly rushed out from a corner of the yard and roared at Chen Futian and his wife a few times.
Zhang Lan and Chen Futian were so frightened by Ah Huang that they stood there and shouted, "Chen Chongshan, what are you doing? Get this damned dog away from me!"
"Ah Huang, come back."
Chen Chongshan called out to Ah Huang, then went to the window and picked up all the things. He followed Zhang Lan and her husband outside into the yard and dumped them all in front of their brand-new car. Then he returned to the yard and slammed the door shut.
Chen Chongshan walked into the room, where Chen Chongming was lost in thought. Chen Chongshan smiled, patted his head, and said, "Chongming, what are you thinking about?"
"Brother, why did they do this?"
Chen Chongming said in a low voice, clearly not in a good mood.
"What they do is their business. Anyway, we have nothing to do with them now, so we'll ignore them."
Chen Chongshan said with a smile, "We must live our lives well. Only when we live well will they not dare to bully us, and the people in the village will not dare to gossip about us anymore."
“I know.” Chen Chongming nodded.
"Alright, go to sleep early." Chen Chongshan nodded, then helped Chen Chongming lie down to sleep.
………………
Since Chen Futian and his wife left that day, they have never come back. Chen Chongshan has never thought about them again. Even regarding the land acquisition, Chen Chongshan did not heed Lao Qin's advice to make connections in advance.
Chen Chongshan felt it was shameful to bother others with such matters. He was a person with a strong sense of self-respect, and now that he was not short of money, there was no need for him to take advantage of such loopholes.
Chen Chongshan would only approach Lin Jianbin through Xu Jiaming if he encountered unfair treatment during the demolition process and had no other choice.
Without the interference of outsiders, Chen Chongshan began to focus all his attention on Ah Huang.
The nanny introduced by Lao Qin came to work early the next morning. After a few days of trial, both Chen Chongshan and Chen Chongming were extremely satisfied with this woman named Aunt Peng. This hardworking and efficient woman made Chen Chongshan no longer worry about Chen Chongming being alone at home.
Every morning, he would take Ah Huang into the mountains and not return until it was almost dark. Sometimes they would have a good harvest in a day, such as one day when they killed a wild boar weighing over 100 pounds, caught a muntjac, and caught two golden pheasants. Other times, they would not be able to catch any prey for two days.
Even without prey, Chen Chongshan would not give up going up the mountain. After Chen Chongshan’s deliberate training over these days, Ah Huang’s body had almost recovered to its original peak. In fact, its experience and skills in hunting had even improved.
This time, when Chen Chongshan left, he took Ah Huang out to see a lot of the world, and these experiences will become Ah Huang's capital to increase its strength.
