Chapter 434: The whole county was shocked. The Deng family was so domineering.
The next morning.
Big Banyan Tree Village.
Deng Yunzhen was brought back by her nephew on a bicycle.
Although the Deng family in Naye is now wealthy and every household has a savings of more than 100,000 yuan, not everyone is willing to spend several thousand or even tens of thousands to buy a motorcycle. Deng Yunzhen's nephew did not buy a motorcycle and always rides a bicycle when going out.
After arriving home, my nephew said hello and rode back on his bike.
Deng Yunzhen's three sons had all separated and lived separately. She and her husband had been living in the old house of the Jiang family. After her husband passed away a few years ago, she was the only one left living in the old house.
Of course, I live here, but I eat at my three sons’ homes in turn, with each family eating for one month.
In some other areas, after the sons divide up the family property, the elderly often live with the youngest son. From the most basic food, clothing, housing and transportation to medical treatment and funeral ceremonies, everything is the responsibility of the youngest son and has nothing to do with the other sons. Any inheritance of the elderly also belongs to the youngest son.
But it is different in the rural areas of Bobai County. There is no fixed responsibility for which son to support the elderly. Basically, the elderly will follow the son with the most ability. If the capable son is unwilling to support his parents alone, the other sons must also contribute.
The most fair way is to take turns to provide support. The support period can be determined by the brothers. If the elderly person gets sick while one of the sons is providing support, not to mention minor illnesses like colds and coughs, if it is a serious illness, the cost of treatment must be shared equally.
If a son is financially better off and is willing to pay more, that is his filial piety. If he is not willing to pay more, no one has the right to say anything.
Now, Deng Yunzhen eats at her three sons' homes in turn. Although she has food to eat and eats whatever her sons and daughters-in-law eat, her three daughters-in-law are lukewarm towards her. It is impossible for her to say that she does not feel uncomfortable.
But when people get old, there is nothing they can do about being disliked.
But now, thinking of the promise the clan leader made to them yesterday, they felt more confident than ever before.
Deng Yunzhen did not wait and went straight to her second son's house. It was now her second son's turn to support her. In a few days, into June, it would be her youngest son's turn to support her.
When I arrived at my second son's house, I saw his second daughter-in-law sitting in front of the stove and making a fire. The big iron pot was covered with a bamboo lid and steam was coming out of the pot. If I was not mistaken, she should be cooking grains such as sweet potatoes, taro, sweet potatoes, and sweet potatoes.
Seeing her mother-in-law, Jiang Ersao asked, "Mom, you're back. Was it your cousin who sent you back? Where is he?"
"He's back!"
Deng Yunzhen answered the second daughter-in-law's question first, and then said, "Second sister-in-law, I'll help you light the fire. Go call the eldest sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law over. I have something to tell you."
Second Sister-in-law Jiang frowned, but still responded and went out to call First Sister-in-law Jiang and Third Sister-in-law Jiang.
The houses of the three Jiang brothers were not far from each other. In less than two minutes, Jiang's second wife called Jiang's eldest wife and Jiang's third wife over.
Mrs. Jiang came over and asked, "Mom, I'm busy. What's the matter with you calling me over?"
Mrs. Jiang San also said, "Yes, if you have anything to say, just tell me now. We are all busy making lunch at this time!"
Deng Yunzhen had long been accustomed to their attitude. She gave up the position of burning the fire to her second daughter-in-law, sat down beside her and said, "You all know that I went back to my parents' home yesterday to attend a clan meeting. This clan meeting was specially held for us married sisters. Do you know what was discussed at the clan meeting?"
The three sisters-in-law looked at each other in bewilderment when they heard this. They didn't attend the meeting, so how would they know what was said?
Mrs. Jiang asked, "Mom, what did the clan say?"
"This time, the clan called all of us married sisters back for a meeting. There are two main purposes."
Deng Yunzhen said with pride: "The first purpose is that the clan wants to support us married sisters. A few days ago, a sister from our clan who married to Longtan Potou Village was beaten by her husband..."
She told her three daughters-in-law everything that happened to Deng Changyuan a few days ago, and how the whole family supported them. Finally, she said, "From now on, I guess no one in the whole Bobai County will dare to bully our Deng's married sisters."
The three daughters-in-law of the Jiang family were stunned.
In the past, they only knew that Naye Deng was rich and no one in the whole Bobai dared to mess with her, but they never thought that Naye Deng was so powerful. She wanted to support all the married aunts. Anyone who dared to bully Naye Deng’s aunts would be dealt with. She was so domineering.
Mrs. Jiang took a deep breath and said, "This Naye Deng is really amazing!"
Mrs. Jiang nodded and agreed, "Yes, this is the first time I've heard of someone supporting all the married aunts in the clan."
Mrs. Jiang said with envy, "After the news of the clan meeting spreads, who will dare to bully the aunt of the Deng family?"
Deng Yunzhen said with a smile: "Our clan leader said that if anyone does not believe in evil, you can give it a try. In the future, if anyone dares to bully our Deng's married aunt, at the very least, they will be beaten to their knees and beg for mercy, or at the worst, they will be beaten to a cripple."
The three daughters-in-law were moved again when they heard this.
Mrs. Jiang asked, "Mom, the first purpose is to support all the married sisters, so what is the second purpose?"
Deng Yunzhen said with great energy: "The second purpose is that our clan leader said that he wants to set up a brewery for us married sisters, and take out a portion of the profits every year to distribute dividends to us sisters.
In short, I will have a certain amount of money every year in the future. I don’t know how much it is yet, but our clan leader said that it will definitely allow us married sisters to live a good life, so I guess the money should not be small.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ersao suddenly stood up from the stool, her eyes full of shock.
Mrs. Jiang Dasao and Mrs. Jiang Sansao were not much better. They both stared with their eyes as wide as cows, and could not believe their ears at all.
Mrs. Jiang suppressed her shock and asked in a trembling voice, "Mom, is what you said true?"
Mrs. Jiang Dasao and Mrs. Jiang Sansao also looked at their mother-in-law.
The reactions of the three daughters-in-law made Deng Yunzhen smile even brighter. She nodded and said, "Of course it's true. Who is our clan leader? How could he lie to us?"
Mrs. Jiang asked excitedly, "Mom, did your clan leader tell you how much money you sisters should invest?"
Deng Yunzhen raised her voice and said, "We don't need to invest money. This is the unconditional help provided by the clan to us sisters."
The three daughters-in-law were so excited upon hearing this that they didn't know what to say, but they all had one thought in their mind, that is, from now on, they should do their best to please their mother-in-law. As long as they took good care of her, the dividends she got would definitely include their benefits.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Jiang was the first to speak, with an unprecedentedly respectful tone: "Mom, I plan to cook noodles for lunch, come to my house and eat!"
Mrs. Jiang San quickly replied, "Mom, I made taro sprouts and stewed fish for lunch. Come to my house and eat!"
(Water-swimming fish in Bobai Creek)
Hearing the words from Jiang Dasao and Jiang Sansao, Jiang Ersao became anxious. Seeing the chicken at the door, she immediately said, "Mom, let's eat some sweet potatoes first. I'll stew your favorite ginger wine (the one that pregnant women drink) for you later."
Seeing her three daughters-in-law vying to please her, Deng Yunzhen's eyes became moist. She had been looking forward to this scene for too long. She had not been able to experience it before, but now with the help of the clan leader, she finally experienced it.
She finally has hope for her later years.
…
afternoon.
Rongpiao Village, Shapi Town next door.
Deng Sifang was in a good mood and killed a chicken and cooked a fairly sumptuous meal.
When it was time for dinner, Deng Sifang's husband Wang Gui also came back from work.
Seeing so many delicious dishes, Wang Gui asked in surprise: "Wife, what day is today? Why did you cook so many dishes?"
"Today is the auspicious day when I get the Imperial Sword."
Deng Sifang said this meaningfully, and then called the children to eat.
Wang Gui didn't understand what his wife meant, and he was too lazy to delve into it. How could there be delicious food without wine? He immediately went to get the wine excitedly. When he brought the wine and was about to pour it into the bowl, Deng Sifang stopped him.
"etc!"
Wang Gui looked at his wife and asked, "What's wrong?"
Deng Sifang said calmly: "Before pouring the wine, I want to tell you something. If you want to continue pouring wine after listening to me, I won't stop you."
Wang Gui felt that his wife was a little strange today, and frowned slightly and said, "What's the matter? Tell me!"
Deng Sifang glanced at him and said slowly, "I went back to my parents' home to hold a clan meeting this time. The head of our Deng clan said that he would lead more than 3,000 people from the clan to support all of our married sisters, so that no one would dare to bully us.
A few days ago, an aunt from our Naye Deng family who married to Potou Village was beaten by her husband. Our clan leader personally led people to Potou Village to avenge her. In front of the whole village, they beat her gambler husband until he knelt down and begged for mercy.
I have no problem with you wanting to drink, but don't you know what you look like when you're drunk? I've forgiven you time and time again, but from now on, if you dare to get drunk like before, I'll call my brothers to come and have a talk with you. Don't blame me for not reminding you when you get beaten to your knees and beg for mercy."
Wang Gui's expression froze when he heard this, and he coughed twice and said, "I didn't mean to do that, why are you still holding on to it?"
Deng Sifang said confidently: "I'm not holding on to it, I'm just reminding you, you drink and others drink too, but when others are drunk, they just talk more, none of them are like you who only know how to get angry and beat their wives.
Anyway, I still say what I said just now, if you want to drink, I won't stop you, and as long as you don't hit me when you drink too much, it doesn't matter how much you drink."
Wang Gui thought for a moment, then poured only a small half bowl of wine and said, "I'll just drink a little."
Deng Sifang didn't bother him about how much he drank. Instead, while eating, she told him the details of the clan meeting. Wang Gui's eyes widened as he listened. This Deng family was really awesome!
At this point, Wang Gui also realized that Ye Deng was really going to support his married aunt. If he got drunk and beat his wife again in the future, he would probably not be able to get his wife's forgiveness by simply admitting his mistake as before.
Perhaps, his wife would really go back to her parents' home to complain, and then he would be like the gambler in Potou Village, beaten to his knees and begging for mercy in front of the whole village.
Thinking of this scene, Wang Gui's face changed again and again. He looked at the rice wine in the bowl that he had just taken a sip of. Although he wanted to continue drinking, he knew that this small half bowl of wine would definitely not make him drunk with his alcohol tolerance, but in the end he did not dare to take the risk.
Because alcohol is something that becomes more and more addictive the more you drink it. Once the addiction is truly aroused, you will no longer be limited to drinking just half a bowl.
In all likelihood, the following will happen:
"Just drink a few more sips, it's okay."
"I eat three bowls. This is only half a bowl. It's okay."
"I've only drunk one bowl, only one-third of the amount. Just add a little more, it'll be fine."
“…”
This situation is just like a man coaxing a woman: "I will hold you while you sleep, and I promise not to do anything."
"I'll just touch you once, and I promise not to do anything else."
"I'll just rub it. You have to believe me, I won't go in."
“…”
And the result is obvious. Wang Gui knows very well how good his self-control is. He really can't guarantee that he can control himself from adding more wine when his urge to drink comes. He also can't guarantee that he won't hit his wife when he drinks too much.
So, the best way is not to drink.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Thinking of this, Wang Gui poured the wine back with great willpower, then served a bowl of rice and started eating with his wife and children.
Seeing this scene, Deng Sifang couldn't help but smile.
…
As hundreds of aunts from the Naye Deng clan returned one after another, the news of the Naye Deng clan meeting spread throughout the entire Bobai County in an instant as if it had wings.
Everyone was stunned with shock after hearing this. He led the whole clan to support his married aunt and also established a brewery to give unconditional dividends to the aunts. Both of these actions set a precedent in Bobai County.
"This Deng family is really going to heaven!"
"Supporting all the married aunts, this Nanye Deng family is really too domineering."
"As expected of the Deng family, not only are they rich, but they also have such a strong cohesive force."
"I'm so envious! If only our family could be so domineering, then who would dare to bully us?"
“…”
In every town and village throughout Bobai County, countless people were talking about the clan meeting of aunts and sisters held by the Naye Deng family.
The men who were married found it incredible when they heard this. They never imagined that there was such a clan that supported married girls.
Married women were envious when they heard this. Who wouldn't want to have a clan that supports their aunt? While everyone was talking about it, Deng Shirong also started to build a brewery.
Deng Shirong, who has experienced the future, naturally understands how huge the sales volume of beer in my country is. It is a terrifying existence that can compete with liquor, and its annual sales volume reached hundreds of billions during its peak period.
Whether it is beer or other industries, there is a "Matthew effect" in which the strong will always be strong. In later generations, my country's beer market has shown an oligopolistic competition pattern - the five giants of Tsingtao, China Resources, Budweiser, Carlsberg and Yanjing account for nearly 80% of the market share.
Nowadays, among the five giants, Budweiser, which was born in the United States, is obviously the most powerful, but it has not yet entered the Chinese market at this time.
As for China Resources, it will not be established until next year.
Qingdao is developing rapidly and is preparing for its listing next year.
Yanjing is also developing rapidly, increasing production by 50,000 tons per year, completing the transformation from a medium-sized brewery to a large brewery.
Carlsberg is one of the earliest foreign beer brands to enter the Chinese market, and its current strength should not be underestimated.
If the Ye Deng family wanted to build a brewery from scratch to compete with these giants, it would be extremely difficult.
Even though China Resources Snow Beer, one of the five giants in the future, was not born until next year, it was Shenyang China Resources Snow Beer Co., Ltd., a joint venture between Shenyang Brewery and Hong Kong China Resources Enterprises. It has the foundation of Shenyang Brewery, not a brewery built from scratch.
Therefore, if you want to quickly catch up with these beer giants, the best way is to go the acquisition route.
It just so happens that there is a very suitable target for acquisition in Guangxi, and this target is none other than Guangxi’s most famous Liquan Beer.
Liquan Beer is a beer company that was planned in 1985 and started production in 1987. In 2002, Yanjing Beer, after three steps of operation, invested a total of 212 million yuan to acquire 68.08% of the shares of Liquan Beer, thus achieving controlling stake.
This amount of money is nothing to the current Deng Group, not to mention that it was 1992, not 2002. Liquan Beer was still in its early stages of development and was not worth much at all. The Deng Group could easily take it into Xiangzhong.
There is also a beer company in Guangdong that is very suitable for acquisition, that is Guangzhou Pearl River Beer, which was built and put into production in 1985.
There are also many provinces that have their own beer brands. The Deng Group can acquire them step by step. After acquiring ten or eight beer companies and reintegrating them, it can become one of the beer giants of this era in one fell swoop.
After coming up with the idea, Deng Shirong handed the acquisition matter over to Lin Zhongjun, a senior management talent.
…
Nanning.
Wuyue Square luxury residence.
Deng Shirong is looking at his grandchildren's report cards.
When his third son got married, Xiao Dong'er and Dongzi both took ten days off to go to Beijing to attend the wedding. Deng Shirong was originally a little worried that it would affect his granddaughter's grades.
Now, after seeing his granddaughter's final report card, Deng Shirong couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. The top student is worthy of being a top student. Taking more than ten days off did not affect her grades at all. She still sits firmly on the throne of the first in the grade, and no one can shake her.
Deng Shirong praised repeatedly: "Xiao Dong'er, you really did not disappoint Grandpa, you are really great."
Xiao Dong'er was so flattered that he smiled and said, "Grandpa, I want to go to Mount Tai this summer. My father was named after Mount Tai, and I heard that Mount Tai is known as the "No. 1 Mountain in the World." I want to go and see what it is like."
Deng Shirong agreed without hesitation: "No problem, then grandpa will take you to Mount Tai for a few days."
Dongzi jumped out immediately and shouted, "Grandpa, I want to go to Mount Tai to play, too."
Deng Shirong looked at Dongzi's report card and said regretfully, "Dongzi, Grandpa wanted to take you with me, but you didn't live up to expectations. You fell behind again this semester and are now ranked 25th in the class!"
Dongzi hurriedly made an excuse: "Grandpa, this is because I took more than ten days off before, so my grades were affected."
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "My sister also took leave like you, so why is she not affected?"
"Well……"
Dongzi was speechless, but she really wanted to go to Mount Tai with her grandfather and sister. She was so anxious that she didn't know what to do and was about to cry.
Deng Shirong had long given up hope on his grandson's studies. Seeing him crying, he couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted and said, "Dongzi, don't say that grandpa won't give you a chance. It's not impossible for you to go to Mount Tai. As long as your sister agrees, I'll take you with me."
Dongzi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly ran over to hug his sister's arm, shaking her and saying, "Sister, please agree, I want to go to Mount Tai to play, too."
Xiao Dong'er said with disdain: "Dongzi, you are so stupid. You are only ranked in the 20s in the class and can't even make it into the top 100 in the whole grade. How could I have such a stupid brother like you? It's really embarrassing for me. What on earth are you doing in class?"
Dongzi said with a guilty conscience: "I didn't do anything. I just listened to the teacher's lecture."
Xiao Dong'er frowned and said, "I don't believe it. You must not have listened carefully to the class. If you listened carefully, how could you not be able to do such a simple question?"
Dongzi changed the subject and said, "Sister, please take me to Mount Tai, okay? As long as you agree, I will listen to whatever you say next."
Xiao Dong'er asked, "You really will listen to me in everything?"
Dongzi nodded his head like a chick pecking at rice: "I really will listen to you in everything."
Xiao Dong'er smiled and said, "Okay, give me all your saved pocket money, and I'll let you go to Mount Tai with me."
Dongzi hesitated for only a few seconds and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll give you all my pocket money." He really didn't care much about pocket money because his family ran a supermarket and he could get whatever he wanted without spending any money.
Xiao Dong'er said: "Okay, then it's settled."
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "In that case, let's set off tomorrow."
…
As the saying goes, "Read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles." If a person does not read, he will live in a small place all his life, just like a frog in a well, and he has no idea how big the outside world is.
Deng Shirong uses travel to encourage his grandchildren to read, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone. The benefits of reading are already well known and need no repetition, while traveling and seeing the world can also broaden people's horizons and also has many benefits.
It's a pity that my grandson is a hopeless case. Even if the conditions are relaxed for him, he still can't meet the standards. It's really a headache.
Fortunately, his eldest granddaughter worked hard and even set an extremely high goal of being the first in the grade, she was able to achieve it without any effort, which made Deng Shirong very happy.
Deng Shirong himself is also looking forward to this trip to Mount Tai.
Although his five sons were named after the Five Great Mountains, he had only heard of these five mountains but had never seen them. Now he is finally going to see Mount Tai, the first of the Five Great Mountains, with his own eyes. He hopes that this famous mountain, which holds a special place in Chinese history, will not disappoint him.
