Divorce is a word that has appeared frequently since the 1990s.
Before this, even for the trendy and fashionable city dwellers, it was difficult to find two or three such houses among a hundred households, but now you can hear them every few days.
Out of every ten divorces, at least one is caused by men not being able to control themselves.
During the meal, Brother Chen warned his two brothers-in-law, "Nowadays, the outside world is in such a mess. I think your two families are getting better and better, but don't learn those customs outside, otherwise I will be the first to disapprove!"
"It's New Year's Day, what are you talking about at the dinner table? Do you want to get beaten?" Chen's mother glared at him.
"Mom, Third Brother is also supporting me and Fourth Sister. You two should listen carefully. My Third Brother is rich now. He is the iron shield and backing of Fourth Sister and me. If you dare to go out, you don't have to come back. Some mistakes can be made, but if some mistakes are made, they will be a matter of a lifetime and there is no turning back!" Chen Rou echoed.
Sister Chen nodded and looked at An Dabang and said, "Did you hear everything?"
An Dabang and Han Guobin looked at each other, both feeling helpless.
However, we have to admit that today's society has really changed.
But they both have similar personalities and don't want to mess up their own happy family.
The two brothers-in-law wanted to make promises, but Fourth Sister Chen waved her hand and said, "No need to make promises. I heard from the neighbors that promises sound good. You should still do what you have to do after you go out. It depends on how you do it in the future."
"That's right." Chen Rou said.
"You're getting more and more addicted to it, aren't you? You even say it in front of the children!" Mother Chen was angry.
"Mom, don't be angry. The children are so old now, they can understand it. There is no need to hide it from them." Chen Rou said with a smile.
"Nonsense." Chen's father said.
"Dad, don't make a mistake. If you make a mistake, we will all follow my mom." The second son Han Zhou said with a smile.
Although he was smiling, his attitude was very clear, and the others also looked at their father.
Han Guobin glanced at them calmly and said, "Let's eat!"
"Eat, eat." Brother Chen San also quickly greeted his nephews and nieces.
But this time, Brother Chen San really wants to give them a warning, because there are too many people who want to find new people after getting rich.
For example, there was a man in town who bought goods from him. He probably made some money and was having an affair with a young girl outside. His oil shop was even burned down by his wife. Isn't that scary?
Han Guobin and An Dabang had a drink and lunch with Third Brother Chen and his father, then stayed for a while before going back.
Han Guoli and Zhang Jiang brought Zhang Haohao and Zhang Yaoyao to the countryside.
Chen Rou went to make some malted milk, poured a cup of it, and said with a smile, "But I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time."
"That's nothing." Zhang Jiang smiled.
"Second sister-in-law, I heard from my third brother's wife that you want to supply her with goods and let her open an oil shop?" Han Guoli asked.
"It's not me who said that, it's your second brother." Chen Rou said.
Han Guoli said, "That's the same." She was quite touched and said, "Xiaoyu now has something to do, and she will be quiet in the future."
"I don't know how the business is going yet." Chen Rou said.
"Find a shop in a good location, it won't be too bad anyway." Han Guoli said.
"If you work hard, you won't be too bad. When you make money in the future, you can buy a big yard and bring your parents over to live with you." Chen Rou said.
Han Guoli nodded and said, "That's as it should be. I see that mother really likes living in the city."
The last time Han's mother went there, Han Guoli, as her daughter, naturally went to see her and brought a lot of things with her.
Han Guobin asked Zhang Jiang, "I heard Yaoyao say last time that you have become the director of your factory?"
"I'm just a small director. I've been working here for half my life, and they just promoted me." Zhang Jiang said with a smile.
There is no man who doesn't like to get promoted. Promotion means salary increase. His current salary is 90 yuan.
Of course, if compared with his wife's stall, he is definitely not as good. When his wife was setting up a stall, she could earn two hundred yuan a month. In addition, when she helped to make dumplings, she could earn another two hundred yuan a month, which made him better than her.
But Zhang Jiang didn't care. After all, his salary was not low.
Han Guobin asked his sister, "The family should have saved up some money by now. The third child is going to look for one this year. Do you want to join him in finding one?"
"What's the use? It's fine to set up a stall. A shop is so expensive." Han Guoli said.
"Buy one. How much does a shop cost? We can afford it now. You can't sell when it rains or snows. If you open the shop earlier, the money you earn will be enough for you to buy a shop." Zhang Jiang said.
Han Guoli was stunned. It was the first time she heard this statement, but it seemed to make some sense?
Chen Rou smiled and said, "If I had asked you, Third Aunt, to buy it back then, you would have earned back the money you put into the shop by now."
Han Guoli thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's buy one together with Guo Lin this year?"
"I should have bought it earlier." Han Guobin said.
Chen Rou also agreed. Whether it was Han Guoli or Han Guolin, she hoped for the best for them.
After all, when the two elders move to the city in the future, we will have to rely on them, and it will definitely be a good thing if both families have good financial conditions.
When they were about to go back, Zhang Yaoyao said, "I want to stay in the village. I want to sleep with Chengzi!"
Zhang Yaoyao stayed, Zhang Jiang took Han Guoli back, and Zhang Haohao followed on his own bicycle, riding two bicycles in total.
But they couldn't stay in the village for long, so Chen Rou stayed for a few more days. On the fourth day of the New Year, her family returned to the city.
Ma Yuling also said: "I thought you should have come back yesterday. The pork was almost thawed in the water."
Chen Rou said, "Don't cook today. Bring Chengzi's godfather and Chen Bingqi over here to hang out."
Ma Yuling was naturally happy to do so and went back to get a lot of meat. Chen Rou said, "Look how much I have saved. You didn't even have to go out of your way to get it."
Chen Rou has frozen pork ribs and pork belly, enough to last until the tenth day of the first lunar month.
While the two were busy in the kitchen, Han Guobin went to visit a few shops and came back to watch TV with the children.
As for Public Security Chen, he hasn't gotten off work yet. Even though it's Chinese New Year, he still has to go to get off work and come back home as usual.
Chen Rou and Ma Yuling have cooked a lot of delicious dishes, including pot ribs and pork belly stewed with soy sauce and mushrooms. Other main dishes are also prepared. They are just waiting for Chen Gongan to come back and then start cooking. They will be delicious when they are served hot on the table.
Chen Rou and Ma Yuling started making dumplings. Ma Yuling said, "I'll take you to a nice place to have some fun later."
"Mahjong parlor?" Chen Rou asked.
Ma Yuling was surprised and asked, "How did you know?"
"I haven't asked you yet, why did you bring the fourth brother with you when you went there?" Chen Rou said.
"What? How could I possibly bring Lao Si there? I ran into Lao Si when I went there." Ma Yuling said.
"Huh?" Chen Rou was stunned.
Ma Yuling couldn't help but look at her and asked, "You two don't know?"
"Old Four said we know?" Chen Rou's face darkened.
"Wait until the New Year is over and clean up." Ma Yuling nodded and said, "I ran into him and asked him why he went there. At first I thought he went there by chance, but then I saw that he was quite familiar with the place, so I asked him, and he said you all know!"
"Why didn't you tell me?" Chen Rou couldn't help but ask.
"I didn't expect him to lie. The brat deserves a lesson." Ma Yuling said.
She went to play cards and forgot about it after the game. She would never mention it specifically. The fourth brother said that his parents knew about it.
Chen Rou sneered: "It seems that I let something slip during the New Year!"
They suppressed it for the time being, and when Chen Gongan came back, the two families gathered together to have the New Year's Eve dinner.
The naughty boy Han Laosi would glance at his mother and his aunt Ling from time to time.
Ma Yuling knew he was going to be beaten, so she smiled and gave him a piece of pork ribs, saying, "Eat more, so you can be tough and take the beating."
Han Laosi immediately looked towards his mother, but Chen Rou seemed not to notice and continued to eat her own food, even asking Chen Gongan and Chen Bing to eat more.
Han Laosi then breathed a sigh of relief and ate his rice in big mouthfuls. After he finished eating, he waited.
"This winter melon soup is delicious. Fourth Brother, have some more soup." Chen Rou said.
When Han Lao Si heard his mother's tone, which was no different from usual, he gave her a flattering smile and said, "Mom, I'll do it myself."
"Okay, you do it yourself." Chen Rou nodded. Don't show your displeasure to the child while eating, and don't let him know that you are going to hit him, as this will affect his appetite.
This meal was very satisfying.
After dinner, the table was left to the eldest, second oldest and Chen Bing to clean.
Chen Bing has only just started doing housework now; he has never done it before.
Han Laosi was watching TV in the house, and he started to urge Ma Yuling, saying, "Auntie Ling, I see your door is not locked, go and lock it quickly, don't let the house get robbed if you don't have a dog."
"Chengzi, go and have a look. I remember I locked it." Ma Yuling said lazily, sitting still.
Han Cheng ran out to take a look, then came back and said, "Old Four, which eye of yours saw that it was unlocked? It's locked."
Han Laosi stopped talking.
Ma Yuling laughed and said to Chen Rou, "We don't have mahjong in our county. Next time I'm free, I'll go to the provincial capital and bring back a set. Then we can play mahjong."
"It's not good to gamble in groups." Public Security Chen looked at her and said.
"This is not a gambling gathering, this is called a family gathering, do you understand?" Ma Yuling said.
"I've never played mahjong and I don't know how to play it. It's useless to buy it because there's no one at home who can play it." Chen Rou said.
Han Laosi wanted to raise his hand and say that he knew how to do it and he could teach them.
But now he was a little scared and wanted to change the subject quickly, saying: "Journey to the West is so interesting, I never get tired of watching it. This white dragon horse has worked hard, carrying so many gifts and Tang Monk to the West to obtain the scriptures."
"Yeah, you've been really hardworking, but little white dragon is so handsome," Han Cheng said.
"Can he be as handsome as me?" said Han Laosi.
"Don't humiliate yourself. I don't want to be harsh on New Year's Day." Han Cheng said with disdain.
"You know what, when these kids in your family grow up, they will definitely be charming. They all inherited your good genes." Ma Yuling and Chen Rou said with a smile.
"Don't praise them. They don't need to be praised." Chen Rou smiled.
"Praise us, praise us as much as you can. We can all stand the praise." Han Laosi grinned.
Han Guobin said to Chen Gongan, "Tomorrow, both families will take a family photo together, a big one."
"Let's go the day after tomorrow. I have a day off the day after tomorrow." said Chen Gongan.
The day after tomorrow is the fifth day of the New Year, and the two families came together to take photos.
Everyone was very happy, especially the children. Each of them took two or three photos, which can be considered precious photos.
The fifth day of the New Year had passed, and Chen Rou took two days off until the first day of the year, when Han Laosi came back happily from outside and started fighting.
She only finished beating him when she broke the bamboo stick, otherwise she would have to continue beating him.
Han Hang, Han Zhou, Han Cheng and Zhang Yaoyao were all at home, and they were very nervous.
Zhang Yaoyao listened to the crying of the fourth child and said tremblingly, "What...what's going on? Why is the second sister-in-law beating so fiercely?"
"I... I don't know either. What happened to the eldest brother, second brother, and the fourth brother?" Han Cheng said to her eldest brother and second brother.
Han Hang and Han Zhou were actually also confused, but their mother would not beat them for no reason. Especially since they were the fourth brother, she loved him the most.
"I'm going to find my godmother." Han Cheng hurried over to the next room.
Ma Yuling came over quickly and went in to stop them, but the beating was almost over. Han Laosi was crying uncontrollably. His mother had stripped off his cotton trousers, leaving him only with his thin autumn trousers, and he was beaten so hard that his voice became hoarse from howling.
"Remember what you said today. If I find out you dare to step over again next time, I will let you know what comfort is." Chen Rou said.
Han Laosi put on his pants, then lay down on the kang and continued crying.
Chen Rou ignored him and came out with Ma Yuling, then glanced at the others.
Han Hang said: "Ah, I haven't memorized the English words for today yet, so I'll go memorize them first."
Han Zhou immediately said, "I'm going to the backyard to sweep the snow. It snowed a lot last night."
Han Cheng and Zhang Yaoyao both hurriedly said, "We'll go help you!"
He ran away without a trace.
Ma Yuling wanted to laugh and said, "I didn't know you could beat a child so fiercely."
"If he doesn't listen, he must be beaten, otherwise there will be chaos." Chen Rou said. She has been holding it in for so many days, and the brat still hasn't come to admit his mistake. How can she let him off so easily and let him be clever and think he can get away with it.
Han Guobin found out that the fourth son had been beaten after he came back. He took some pearl cream and rubbed it on him. There were red marks all over, which showed that he had been beaten severely. He also took the opportunity to have a chat with his oldest son.
But the fourth child refused to talk, so Han Guobin said, "Next time your Aunt Ling goes to the provincial capital to buy goods, she will buy mahjong. We can play at home, but don't go outside."
The fourth child said aggrievedly: "I thought Aunt Ling didn't tell my mother."
"How is that possible? Your mother found out the day after we went to the city, and she told me too. She's been waiting for you to admit your mistake for so many days, but you never did. That's why she got angry today." Han Guobin said.
Little Lao Si sobbed, "Mother beat me so hard."
"Then you deserve to be beaten. Will you dare to go there again in the future?" Han Guobin said.
The fourth child lowered his head and whispered that he would not go.
He also went to visit his classmates. His classmate's mother often went there, so he went there with his classmate. It was quite fun there. If the adults won money by playing games, they would give them money.
Moreover, if he wanted to buy cigarettes or other things, he didn't have to give back the money they gave him, which he thought was quite cool.
Later he met his Aunt Ling. He knew at that moment that something bad was going to happen, so he fooled Aunt Ling and managed to keep the secret.
But during the Chinese New Year, I got a little carried away and let the cat out of the bag.
Han Laosi was so regretful.
"How much New Year's money have you saved this year? I saw your aunt Ling gave you ten yuan, and so did your uncle, your third uncle, and your aunt." Han Guobin said with a smile.
"I saved 60 yuan." The fourth child was very satisfied when he said this.
Every year during the Chinese New Year, it’s time to collect red envelopes, but his mother no longer accepts them and lets them keep them themselves.
"Your mother is making egg pancakes. You can eat them soon. Just lie down for a while and then get up." Han Guobin said, patting his little butt.
The fourth child nodded and came out after a while.
His elder brother, second brother, and third sister seemed to be unaware that he had been beaten. They didn't even say a word of comfort and just went about their business.
Han Guoli came over after lunch, probably because she heard what Zhang Yaoyao said when she got home.
"Why did Lao Si go to the mahjong hall? How did he know where it was?" Han Guoli whispered.
"I went to his classmate's house. His classmate's mother often went there. So I followed his classmate there to earn tips." Chen Rou said.
Han Guoli laughed: "Second brother wasn't as smart as him when he was little, but the fourth brother is quite clever."
"I'm just being clever. I give them pocket money on a daily basis and use it to do that." Chen Rou said.
Han Guoli nodded. This must be punished, but it cannot be tolerated.
"Second sister-in-law, when will the bun shop open?" Han Guoli asked.
"Let's wait until after the Lantern Festival. You can look for a shop first. My fourth sister bought one last year and she plans to buy a yard this year." Chen Rou said.
Han Guoli said, "Do you want a yard? We happen to have one over there. Although it's a bit shabby, we can buy it and tear it down and rebuild it. I wonder if your fourth sister wants it?"
"How far is it from your home, Third Aunt?" Chen Rou asked.
"It's just two houses away. I was thinking of asking Guolin and Xiaoyu to buy it, but they want to buy a shop this year, so they said they would wait. But our place is really good." Han Guoli said.
"Then I'll go ask my fourth sister." Chen Rou said.
She came directly over, and Chen Sijie and An Dabang were really capable, so they started to open a shop and do business.
When Chen Sijie heard that it was about the courtyard, she said, "Tell your third aunt that it's not necessary. We have a set here, but it's a bit far from here."
"Did you buy it?" Chen Rou nodded.
"We are negotiating the price. They asked for more than a thousand yuan. They are really brave to ask such a high price for such a small shabby yard." Sister Chen Si said.
"Given the current market conditions, more than a thousand dollars is not too much. Go and buy it." Chen Rou said.
"I've been taken advantage of. A thousand bucks isn't a lot." Sister Chen said, "I heard from Guobin that the yard only cost 200 bucks."
Chen Rou smiled and said, "How can we compare? It's been so many years. How much did a bowl of noodles cost back then? How much does it cost now?"
"That's too expensive." said Sister Chen Si.
In the end, I bought this yard for 1,200 yuan, which was a hundred yuan cheaper.
After buying it, Chen Rou came over to take a look and asked her fourth brother-in-law to find someone to rebuild it because it was very old.
Chen Sijie also gritted her teeth and asked An Dabang to find someone to rebuild the house in the spring. Basically all the family’s money was spent on building this house.
But when she saw the house completed in April, Sister Chen was still in a very good mood.
As for the yard on Han Guoli's side, Chen Rou bought it.
Not only did he buy that yard, he also bought two other shops, both on the main road.
The two shops were given to Ma Yuling to open.
Ma Yuling partnered with her in two businesses, a hair perm shop and a clothing store.
It's called a clothing store, but the items sold inside are quite mixed, including clothes, shoes, lipsticks, jewelry, etc.
So Chen Rou asked her to separate the stores into two categories: clothing stores were clothing stores, shoe stores were shoe stores, and products like lipstick and mousse were also supplied in a dedicated shop.
Ma Yuling was very happy and said with a smile: "You are making a big move."
"You are the boss of our stores. You should go to the mahjong parlor less often on weekdays. Those employees are not very skilled yet, so you have to keep an eye on them. We have to run our store well, otherwise when other stores start up in the future, it will not be so easy to make money." Chen Rou said.
"I won't go. It's not safe at all." Ma Yuling cursed. The last time she went to the mahjong hall, more than three hundred yuan was stolen without anyone noticing, and she had no place to look for the problem.
Furthermore, Chen Gongan was also quite dissatisfied with her playing mahjong, and the two had just had a quarrel.
So Ma Yuling simply decided not to go.
Chen Rou smiled and said, "That three hundred dollars is worth it."
Ma Yuling rolled her eyes and said, "I'll go to the provincial capital to buy some goods tomorrow."
"Yeah." Chen Rou nodded.
Han Guobin came back on his bicycle and said, "The furniture at the furniture factory is almost ready. We can go there to pick up the furniture when Donkey Egg's car comes back today."
"Is the dressing table that Third Brother ordered for Fourth Sister ready?" Chen Rou asked.
"Okay, Third Brother has also ordered one for you." Han Guobin said with a smile.
"You ordered one for me too? When did it happen?" Chen Rou was stunned and asked.
"They asked me to order it and told me not to tell you, saying it was to supplement your dowry." Han Guobin said with a smile.
Chen Rou glared at him: "You don't stop me, we already have one at home."
"That's the gift from third brother. As for the one from our family, give it to Chengzi. She has been thinking about it for a long time." Han Guobin said with a smile.
Now that he has his third uncle's property, there is no need to stop Han Guobin from buying a dressing table for his wife.
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Ludan and the other two came back with the goods, and were then ordered by Han Guobin to come to the furniture factory.
This is a big order, and it includes a lot of furniture.
Brother Chen San gave dressing tables and cabinets to Sister Chen Si and Chen Rou. In addition, he also ordered two new cabinets, one for his mother and one for his wife, as well as new tables, new stools and so on.
Chen Rou ordered a table for her third sister, a large round table, and fourth sister Chen ordered chairs and cabinets. Only a truck like this could come over, otherwise there wouldn't be enough space.
The ones from the provincial capital were unloaded first, and then the rest were sent back to the countryside.
Chen Rou replaced her dressing table with the one given by her third brother. There is a large mirror on top, which is very innovative.
The old one that was replaced was given to Miss Han Cheng, who was very happy.
Before going to bed that night, Han Guobin asked, "Wife, do you think that a truck is not enough for our family?"
"Why do you say that?" Chen Rou said, and she seemed to have the same idea. She also felt that the truck she had was not enough. The shop she and Ma Yuling jointly owned had to go to the provincial capital to get goods, and they used buses to carry the goods every time, but they could not carry much. It would be very convenient if she had her own truck.
Moreover, with the development of his third brother's oil press, there were indeed not enough cars.
"I went to the furniture factory today, and they wanted to hire my car. I thought, if I buy another car, I can drive it to the furniture factory to help transport goods when it's not in use on weekdays, and I can make money that way." Han Guobin said.
There is only one furniture factory like this in the entire county. There may be more skilled craftsmen in the countryside, but they are not as famous as this one.
Now the order volume has greatly increased, so naturally we need a car to help with transportation.
"That's just a few bucks." Chen Rou looked down on it and said, "If we buy another car, we can open a furniture store and place orders with furniture factories and sell them in our store. We can send our car to those who want it. We can't make much money by transporting goods, so we won't make any money."
"Furniture store?" Han Guobin was stunned.
"Well, there are also big items like televisions, washing machines, and electric fans. We can also bring them back and sell them," said Chen Rou.
"Wife, are you planning to open a big shopping mall?" Han Guobin understood and looked at his wife.
"No?" Chen Rou looked at him.
"It's OK, but the business is a bit big," said Han Guobin.
"Go discuss it with Lao Yang." Chen Rou said.
"Wifey, we really want to do this." Han Guobin was already very excited, so he hugged his wife and confirmed it.
"Go ahead." Chen Rou nodded. It would be perfect to find him something to do. It was a bit of a waste of talent for this rough guy to follow her in looking after the shop. She should let him do something bigger.
Han Guobin was a little excited, and this excitement made Chen Rou soft as a puddle of water. Even though this rough guy was in his forties, he could still make her tired.
The next day, Han Guobin came to Lao Yang's place. Lao Yang was not there because he had gone to the slaughterhouse. So he took a detour and came to the slaughterhouse.
After hearing what Han Guobin said, Lao Yang was surprised and said, "You still want to make trouble? There are so many businesses now."
Did he know that Chen Rou had cooperated with Ma Yuling to open several shops? She was really promising.
"It's not a big deal. We don't have color TVs in our city yet. We can just transport them back and sell them ourselves. Isn't that great?" Han Guobin said.
"That's definitely good, but I don't understand that," said the old sheep.
"I understand. You just need to invest money. I also want to ask the fourth brother to see if he has any interest in this regard." Han Guobin said.
"Old Four is good. The monkey is fine, but that old guy is getting cocky now. Last time he even kept a baby outside. When his wife found out, she made a big fuss." The old sheep said, "He has lost his integrity in his old age."
Han Guobin also knew about this, so he didn't say anything, and he didn't want to continue his partnership with Monkey.
"The fourth child isn't married yet." Han Guobin said.
"He has no plans to get married in his life. He changes women one after another, which makes him free and easy." said Lao Yang.
This is other people's business. Han Guobin didn't say much. As long as you can be reliable in cooperation, it's fine.
"I'll come to see you in the evening and we'll go sit with him," said Old Sheep.
"Okay." Han Guobin nodded.
At 12 o'clock in the evening, Lao Yang came to find Han Guobin, and the two of them went to look for Lao Si together.
The fourth brother was playing mahjong. When he saw the two of them coming, he asked, "Would you all sit down and play together?"
"Forget about playing, come into the house, I have something to tell you." said the old sheep.
The fourth brother asked someone else to take over and then took them into the office.
It's a big deal to jointly run a big shopping mall. After the fourth brother finished listening, he said, "For such a big mall, we need to bring the third brother with us. It's not safe enough to rely on me alone."
"The third brother has a big appetite, what do you want him to do?" said Old Sheep.
"It's not as big as mine, so I'll just borrow his face and give it to him. The rest will be three-tenths among us." The fourth one said.
"Then you go and talk to him?" said the old sheep.
"Yeah." The fourth brother nodded and looked at Han Guobin: "Have you chosen a location?"
"Business on the second floor of the department store is very slow. How about taking it over?" Han Guobin asked.
"Our business will be greatly reduced if we move to the second floor." The fourth brother shook his head and said, "I think the building is very good."
"The building will never be contracted to us," said Han Guobin.
"The whole building is definitely not an option, but allocating a piece of land to us shouldn't be a big problem." The fourth brother said, "I'll go and discuss this matter."
After saying that, he looked at Han Guobin and said, "The furniture factory and the TV sets I'll give them to you."
"Yeah." Han Guobin nodded.
"Then you, Lao Yang, have to pay more money. We will each contribute 30% of the capital, and you pay 40%. "The fourth brother looked at Lao Yang and said.
"That's not a problem." Old Sheep nodded.
After finishing the serious business, Lao Si looked at Han Guobin and said, "Why didn't your little Lao Si come to the mahjong hall?"
"How do you know that guy?" Han Guobin looked at him and asked.
The fourth child laughed and said, "I was the one who taught him how to play mahjong. Your little fourth child is smart. I taught him many times and let him watch more. Then he understood. He has grown up to be a talented person."
"Let his mother beat him up and he will never let it go again." Han Guobin said.
The fourth brother sighed: "It's just playing mahjong, why beat him up?"
Han Guobin said: "If you don't obey, you should be beaten."
"I'm here, nothing will happen. Just let him come over. I like the little guy." said the fourth brother.
"Forget it, Guobin's children all need to go to college," said Lao Yang.
The fourth child smiled and said, "He will definitely have a bright future if he goes to college, but I won't stop him from going to college if he goes to play with me that night."
Han Guobin ignored him and said, "It's getting late. Let's go back first and talk about it tomorrow. I'm also going to drive the car."
"I'm serious. Please let your little Fourth Brother be my godson. I will leave all my property to him in the future." The Fourth Brother looked at him and said.
"Stop joking." Han Guobin waved his hand and looked at Lao Yang.
"You go back first, I'll sit for a while." said the old sheep.
Han Guobin went back first. Lao Yang couldn't help but look at Lao Si and said, "What are you doing? Guo Bin and his four children are all good students and they are all going to be trained to go to college."
"I know. I asked Han Qifan and he said he was always ranked first or second in the class." said the fourth brother.
"I know you're still planning that." Old Sheep rolled his eyes at him.
"You don't know how much I like that kid. He's so smart. He's not like his old-fashioned father. Instead, he looks like me when I was a child." The fourth brother said with a smile.
Lao Yang waved his hand and said, "Don't think about it. Maybe Guobin will agree to your adoption of a godparent, but if you want to inherit your legacy, even if Guobin agrees, his wife won't agree."
"I earn so much money, I'll give him more in the future." Lao Si said as he lit a cigarette.
"Guobin and his wife are not the kind of people who are blinded by money. If you really want to become their godparents, you should show some attitude. You don't have to give anything. Just become their godparents and they will be fine." said Lao Yang.
"Tsk, I wouldn't acknowledge others when they asked me to do so. Now I'm offering to acknowledge them, but they don't even want to." The fourth brother said while smoking a cigarette.
Han Guobin didn't tell his wife about this matter when he got home, and he never took it to heart.
Become the fourth brother's godson and let him take him to the casino to play? How is that possible?
Han Guobin started recruiting workers the next day, and the fourth brother came with the contract in the afternoon.
This was considered very fast. Han Guobin paid him and said, "I'll leave tomorrow. You can call someone to follow me."
"What time does the bus leave tomorrow? Is one person enough?" asked the fourth brother.
"That's enough." Han Guobin nodded. "I'm going to buy a car for the first trip to the provincial capital. When I bring it back, I'll try to get someone who can drive and can take turns with me."
The fourth brother nodded: "Okay." Then he looked at Chen Rou who was doing the accounts inside and said, "Is this my sister-in-law?"
He is older than Han Guobin, but younger than Lao Yang.
"This is the fourth brother, the one I told you about." Han Guobin introduced him to him.
"Hello." Chen Rou nodded at him.
"I was wondering why the fourth child doesn't look like his father. It turns out he looks like you, his mother. But the child is still young and there is no need to beat him. He will grow up slowly. The fourth child is not ignorant of this." The fourth child said.
Chen Rou smiled and said, "That kid is too naughty. We need to give him some restraint."
The fourth brother didn't say anything else and went back after a while.
Chen Rou then looked at Han Guobin: "How did he know our fourth child?"
"That brat hasn't told the truth yet." Han Guobin said.
So when the fourth child came home from school, his mother called him into the house. He thought his mother was going to give him pocket money, so he came running over. But when he saw the bamboo stick behind the door, he wanted to run out immediately.
But the door had been closed by Chen Rou.
"Mom, you can't just beat me with a bamboo stick without knowing the truth. Just tell me what I did wrong and I'll correct it, isn't that enough?" Han Laosi said.
"Do you want to explain it yourself, or do you want me to give you fifty and settle it clearly?" Chen Rou said.
"What's the matter?" Han Lao Si couldn't help but said, "I don't know what I did. I went home after school today, and I didn't bully my classmates!"
"Who taught you to play mahjong?" Chen Rou said lightly.
Han Laosi's eyes rolled, and Chen Rou sneered: "If you dare to say something dishonest, I'll let you know what it means to be hurt."
"I don't know him either, but the people at the mahjong parlor call him Fourth Master. I bought him cigarettes a few times, and then he asked me if I wanted to learn mahjong, so I learned from him," said Han Laosi.
In fact, he had already seen most of it before he started learning.
"From what I heard, it seems like you guys have a pretty good relationship?" Chen Rou asked him.
"It's not that good. It's just a friendship of a few packs of cigarettes. I only took a few cents from him for pocket money." Han Laosi said nonchalantly.
"I heard from your father that he wants to adopt you as his godson?" Chen Rou said.
"That's what he said himself. He asked me whose son he was. I told him and he said he knew my father. He also said he and my father were partners in running a pig farm. He asked me if I wanted to be his godson. But I ignored him. Later, you, my mother, beat me, and I never went there again." Han Laosi looked at his mother and said.
"There is milk and egg cake outside." Chen Rou said nothing and took the bamboo stick.
Han Laosi didn't hesitate at all. He ran away immediately, drank the milk, and ate the egg cake in his hand.
Han Guobin entered the provincial capital the next day, bringing Lao Si's men with him.
He first came here according to the address Li Dayuan gave him. It was not the address of the dormitory, but the address of where he was staying outside.
"Who are you? Who are you looking for?" But when they got there and were about to knock on the door, a woman came over with a basket of vegetables and looked at them warily.
"Is this where Li Dayuan lives? I'm his friend, and I came to see him for something." Han Guobin didn't take it seriously at first, thinking he was a neighbor, so he said this.
"You're looking for Da Yuan." The woman heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that he was someone she knew and not a thief. She smiled and said, "Da Yuan is sleeping in the room. Come in. I'll go call him."
Han Guobin was stunned and quickly said, "Don't bother, just call him out, it's just a matter of two sentences."
"Okay, I'll go call him." The woman nodded.
Soon Li Dayuan got up, and when he saw Han Guobin, he immediately smiled and said, "Why are you here? Come in quickly, you are still standing outside."
"Dayuan, what are you doing?" Han Guobin came in with the fourth brother's men. He glanced at the woman who was busy in the kitchen, then he lowered his voice and asked Li Dayuan.
"It's just what you think." Li Dayuan smiled.
Han Guobin was speechless.
"Why didn't I think of it before? Spending so much money a month is not even safe. Now that I'm supporting her, two hundred yuan a month is enough." Li Dayuan said with a smile.
Seeing that he was quite pleased with himself, Han Guobin said, "If my sister-in-law knew about this..."
"How would your sister-in-law know? I believe you are tight-lipped." Li Dayuan said.
What else does Han Guobin have to say?
The woman came out with tea and went back into the house without saying anything. Han Guobin didn't want to stay, so he asked Li Dayuan, "Are the fleet still selling cars?"
"What? Do you still want to buy it?" Li Dayuan asked.
"I want to ship some goods back to sell." Han Guobin nodded.
"The fleet is gone. The remaining ones have all been sold. Now the fleet has been replaced with new ones. If you want one, you can only buy it in the south." Li Dayuan said
