Chapter 229 Joy and mourning



They also have a home in Shacheng.

The villa covers an area of ​​more than 1,000 square meters, with a garden in front and a lake in the back.

The housing prices in Shacheng are relatively low, and this big villa only cost more than 5 million when it was first purchased.

Or the kind that comes with decoration.

This time I didn’t pass by there and went straight home.

It’s impossible to keep a low profile when the customized Coaster goes to the countryside.

His current status is there, and every time he comes back, the neighbors and relatives in the village will come out to set off a few big firecrackers.

Chen Pingsheng would also give them a red envelope of tens of thousands of yuan.

This money is nothing to him, but it means a lot to his relatives who have been farming in his hometown for a long time.

Chen Pingsheng was just going home first and then he would go to see Song Yanxi's grandfather in the afternoon.

I don’t know what happened to the old man’s health, but it suddenly became much worse this year.

I stayed in the hospital for several months and it was all paid for by his family. Later, after I saw the medical bill, I refused to be hospitalized no matter what.

You have to come out no matter what.

What a joke! He can die now rather than lie in a luxury ward and spend 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a day.

Isn't this a burden to our descendants?

No matter how rich you are, there is no reason to spend it like this.

Grandpa Song’s attitude on this matter was very clear. He was unwilling to spend another penny of their family’s money no matter what.

At the last moment, the old man was stubborn.

Song Yanxi is different from her younger sister Song Wu. Her younger sister was taken to Beijing when she was very young.

She was raised by her grandparents, but her grandmother passed away a few years ago.

Her grandfather was the only one left, and now he couldn't bear it anymore.

No one can avoid birth, old age, sickness and death in this world.

Even if his family is so rich, it won’t work.

Song Yanxi didn't go anywhere and stayed at home with her grandfather every day.

The old man looked more haggard and older day by day.

If I stay in the hospital, I might be able to hold on for a few months or even a year.

The medical expenses for this would probably be over tens of millions.

But now that he has left the hospital, his condition is obviously deteriorating rapidly.

Under such circumstances, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for even three days.

How many elderly people are on the verge of death and their children are caught in the dilemma of whether to be loyal or filial to them.

It’s okay if you have money.

If you don't have money, this old age disease cannot be cured.

I just kept staying in the hospital, and it cost me several thousand dollars a day.

How many elderly people in the countryside can continue to rule like this?

The old man’s last wish before he passed away was to listen to another Huagu Opera.

Coincidentally, Song Yanxi's grandmother sang this song.

Maybe for him, death means going to another world to find his companion!

Rural couples are like this, they often quarrel over trivial matters in life and the daily necessities of life.

But when they get old, they still support each other when crossing the street.

My wife would also remind me, "Old man, be careful, there is a car ahead."

This may be the best destination for love.

My dear wife, we have grown together from youth to old age.

Grandpa Song’s passing was a happy one.

He lived to be over eighty years old.

Chen Pingsheng and Song Yanxi personally carried the coffin and the spirit for their grandfather.

The commotion in the village was extremely loud.

Everyone knows that Song Yanxi grew up here.

Chen Pingsheng would often come and take her to fish and catch shrimp.

The two were childhood sweethearts with a huge age gap, and they got married and had a daughter when they grew up.

All of this was supported personally by Grandpa Song.

Even when he had no place to eat, he would eat here.

The old man's passing was not sudden. Now his eldest granddaughter and grandson have rushed back from the capital to see him off for the last time.

The old man should be able to rest in peace.

On the day of his final burial, countless luxury cars came to the village.

It's so far away that you can't see the end at all.

Even big stars like Yang Mi and Zhao Liying rushed over from Shanghai.

There are also a series of senior executives within the group, as well as his relatives and friends.

Chang Fu hadn't originally planned to come back, because he didn't know that Song Yanxi's grandfather would pass away so soon.

That night I took the fastest flight to Shacheng.

The same goes for Zhang Tao, Liu Jing and others.

The ceremony lasted three days, culminating in the burial ceremony.

Leaders from the local town and county also came.

He even wrote a special eulogy, full of praise for Grandpa Song's life.

There are six brothers since childhood, and Grandpa Song is the eldest.

He fought against the Japanese invaders, resisted robbery, and also shouldered his responsibilities as a leader during the famine.

Chen Pingsheng didn't know who wrote this eulogy, he just felt it was written with great talent.

It not only shows the local government's recognition of the old man, but also shows the heroic spirit of his ordinary life.

Afterwards, Chen Pingsheng announced a donation of 30 million yuan to the local area.

It is mainly responsible for the construction of three Hope Primary Schools and new rural health centers.

Another 10 million yuan was used as subsidy donations to local poor households.

Most of the poor households in rural areas nowadays have some health problems.

For example, the deaf old lady in the corner of the village and the sixth uncle who became disabled due to a fall at work in the west.

If you are in good health and are a little diligent, you will basically have no problem eating your fill.

As for the fact that there are many bachelors in rural areas now, the bride price is getting higher and higher.

He was powerless and could not change it.

This is clearly the general trend of the times, and it has even given rise to a group of people who make money by selling brides.

He is not exaggerating. The second-married woman with a child who asked for a dowry of 180,000 yuan last year got divorced again this year.

And the weird thing is, she is on a blind date again this year.

What’s even more bizarre is that there are actually a lot of people willing to go.

What’s even more bizarre is that the bride price for a third marriage has been raised to 220,000 yuan.

Chen Pingsheng really didn't understand which fool would dare to marry such a person.

This is obviously a good way to make money.

He can earn hundreds of thousands of yuan every year from the bride price.

You don’t have to go out to work and it’s so tiring.

He felt that if this kind of trend developed, it would be a great disaster for ordinary rural families.

Marriage brings debt, and divorce ruins two generations.

The old man’s funeral lasted for three full days.

It was a scene that the villagers had never seen in their lives, and it was only at this time that many people truly understood Chen Pingsheng's influence outside.

Not to mention the 30 million donated.

A lot of big stars who usually can only be seen on TV and news also came.

Although they didn't stay there for too long, it was a big star's reputation that allowed him to show up in such a small village.

This shows its terrifying influence.

After Grandpa Song’s funeral, Chen Pingsheng didn’t go anywhere.

There are a lot of people who want to meet him, including town leaders and county representatives.

It's a honor for a cadre to come to your home to see you in person.

If you don’t want to see someone, then don’t see them. That’s the confidence.

He disappeared.

In addition, there were relatives who came to see him, both from both sides.

The social etiquette in the village is often very simple. When you go home, you bring some gifts and ask about someone's well-being.

Then start talking about difficulties.

My son is getting married this year, and my wife must buy a house in the city.

Their family can't even afford the betrothal gift, let alone the down payment for a house.

There is no other way now, I can only ask Chen Pingsheng to borrow it.

No matter who it is, he has a million dollars at his doorstep, and it doesn't matter who comes.

Take 30,000 yuan home. If you are still not satisfied, turn left when you go out.

Whenever you borrow money, either don't lend it or don't expect others to pay it back.

Otherwise, when you go to ask for the money back after the repayment deadline, all the years of friendship will be gone.

It's hard to make friends.

He also has a lot of cars parked in his rural hometown, and many of his relatives' children are getting married there.

Many people come to his house to borrow his car as a wedding car.

Just a few days ago, a young man in his early twenties got married and came to borrow a BMW X5 from his father to use as a wedding car.

I lent him a BMW, but he was still not satisfied.

What he wanted to ask was why he was not given a convertible Rolls-Royce?

This car is so luxurious. It will definitely shock the whole family of the bride when it arrives at her house.

Then, that young man in his early twenties started drinking and driving before the wedding even started.

It happened to hit a car.

Guess how he handled it?

He was driving drunk and after hitting someone else's car, he actually ran to the toilet to hide.

And then, it would only cost a few thousand dollars to settle it privately.

Because of his dodging, Xishi was reported to the police uncle and was sentenced to have his driver's license confiscated and not be allowed to take the test again for five years.

His family immediately came to plead for mercy, hoping that he would use his connections to settle the matter.

Chen Pingsheng just drank his tea calmly, wondering how they had the nerve to come up with this idea.

If you have money, you can trample on the law at will.

Then what is the use of laws? Besides, he thinks this behavior is extremely dangerous.

It’s not that this drunk driving incident is not worth mentioning.

But himself.

Outsiders cannot understand that when he reaches this point, he can really break a lot of rules.

Just like this younger generation, he only needs to move his eyes to easily get his lost driver's license back to him.

Don't underestimate the power of billionaires.

This kind of thing is definitely easy to do.

If you trample on it once, it will be easy to trample on it every time.

Eventually, you develop the kind of arrogant and superior personality.

He felt that this kind of person would get into trouble sooner or later.

All the relatives in the family knew that he was very capable, and the first thing he thought of after the accident was not to reflect on himself.

He was actually asked to use his connections to settle the matter.

Chen Pingsheng thought, if he could really help them settle the score this time.

Someday in the future.

He hadn't even met his relatives many times, but after he got into trouble, he still told others about it in a rage.

"My uncle is Chen Pingsheng, you can do whatever you want."

He felt that this possibility was very high, so he should not do evil even if it was small.

Isn't it necessary to nip these things in the bud quickly?

After putting down his teacup, Chen Pingsheng looked at his eldest cousin and said, "I understand what you mean. You've been talking for so long, but you haven't mentioned my BMW, which is still sitting in someone else's pond. There's no way to claim insurance for drunk driving. Why didn't you even mention this?"

My eldest cousin and his wife also work in the city, and their combined monthly income is around 15,000 to 16,000 yuan.

Life is not too good, but not too bad either.

At least 80% of couples in cities are actually in a similar situation as them.

Not every man is as diligent as he used to be.

"Hey, bro, what's wrong with you? Your family is so rich, and my son hit someone with your car. Not only did you not offer to help, but now you want us to compensate you for your broken X5. You are so rich but unkind."

"Oh, so you think it's all my family's problem."

Chen Pingsheng nodded in agreement. "My family does have problems. The biggest problem is that I shouldn't have lent you the car. Also..."

He paused and said, "The BMW X5 is indeed not a good car, at least for my family. But I really want to ask you, with your combined monthly salary of over 10,000 yuan, how do you have the courage to say it's a junky car?"

"You might be putting yourself in my shoes, so I should teach you to recognize yourself, so you don't go home and scold me for not helping your son!"

Chen Pingsheng turned around and instructed Zhao Yimin: "Call the legal department of the group. If his family pays less than a dime, send his son to have the New Year's Eve dinner."

"Okay, boss."

Zhao Yimin turned around and glared at his eldest cousin, wondering how he had the courage to come here and say such stupid things.

It's okay now.

His son had no sense of responsibility and was terrified after the car accident.

He didn't even turn off the car, causing it to slide naturally into someone else's fish pond.

The owner of the fish pond saw that it belonged to Chen Pingsheng, and immediately came over to ask if he wanted help to fish it out.

Now that the car is scrapped, it would be a good thing if Chen Pingsheng didn't sue. If he did, he would definitely not be able to escape the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

"Chen Pingsheng, are you sick?"

The eldest cousin's face turned grim: "My son is getting married soon. If you sue him now, how can he get married?"

"Remember this: it wasn't me who made the mistake, it was your son."

Chen Pingsheng stood up and said, "Also, who gave you the courage to come to my house and act so bossy? Just because of your grandfather, I have to call him Grandpa, too?"

"childish."

There are some things that he doesn't need to say too much.

Again, with a person of his status, just a glance from him would be enough for countless people to rush to do things for him.

It will even speed up the process to a degree you can't imagine.

At least as soon as he finished speaking, someone took his cousin's son to the police station.

Others have filed a civil lawsuit against him with solid evidence.

Pay the money so you don't go to jail.

There's nothing wrong with not paying any money and just putting you in a detention center according to the standards for drunk driving.

Even in the end, Chen Pingsheng himself didn't know which grassroots talent had filled in the details so perfectly.

Make sure that no one can find anything unreasonable.

By the evening, there were many relatives at his house.

Grandpa, including the great-grandfather, came over too.

Many of his generation were also present.

No one dared to stand up and say another word. In this world, the only people who can be bullied are the good people.

When he was a little less good, he was rewarded with everyone's respect.

And stand at attention.

The huge living room, which includes the yard, seemed like a family meeting was being held there, with a lot of bustling noises. When he started speaking, everyone had to be quiet.

Chen Pingsheng said, "I know you all can't understand why I did this. You might even think I'm being petty and narrow-minded by suing him for a few hundred thousand dollars."

"But I tell you, let alone hundreds of thousands, even millions or tens of millions are nothing in my family. I'm just angry about your attitude."

"A young man in his early twenties, after getting into trouble, didn't think about taking responsibility, but instead asked me to find a connection to settle the matter. If I help him find that connection today, if he commits a bigger crime in the future, won't he just say outside, 'My uncle is Chen Pingsheng, so I have power beyond the average person.'"

"You too, don't think that just because I only come back once a year, I don't know how inflated your hearts are."

"From now on, if anyone from the Chen family or the Song family dares to use my name to commit crimes outside, I will personally send him to jail without anyone else."

"You must always remember one thing: everyone is equal before the law. You must be wary of thinking you are superior just because you are rich."

“Only with great virtue can one carry all things.”

If he didn't remind them again, many people would fall into that big pit.

The older generation is still the older generation.

His grandfather obviously knew the significance of what he was doing, which was to warn all the Chen family relatives.

Behave yourself outside.

No one is above everyone else.

We must not trample on the rights of ordinary people at will.

The past is a lesson for us. We really need to pay extra attention to things like this.
