The smiles on the faces of several brothers froze one after another. Then some rolled their eyes at her, some glared at her, and then they all fell silent.
Chen Xingling suppressed his laughter and coughed lightly.
"Don't be so anxious! Just listen to my explanation!"
Chen Xing said in a low voice, "It's not a good place, but they bought so much wasteland at once. It's free? It's free? How can a large factory have dozens of acres of land? Small factories and workshops don't need such a wide area!"
"Little sister, what a stupid idea you are giving me!"
"Be careful that Old Four will blame you in the future!"
Chen Xingling shook his head: "I'm not afraid! This place is wide and has a good view. There are roads nearby and in front of it, so transportation is very convenient. The thirty acres here are all solid land, and we can do anything in the future. The other twenty acres may not seem very solid, but there is actually a layer of sand inside, so we don't have to worry about not being able to build buildings or factories in the future."
"Really? How do you know?"
"Sand layer? How did you figure that out? Are you sure?"
"More than ten meters? If the sand layer is too thin, it will be useless."
Chen Xingling lowered his voice and said, "I borrowed this instrument from a teacher who teaches architecture in our school. It's absolutely reliable. I can't even name the advanced instrument, but it's 100% accurate."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that if it was a good place, it would be worth buying.
Chen Xingling continued to explain: "In addition, my sister-in-law is a returned overseas Chinese, and she has applied for an overseas Chinese certificate. Chongqing now has a series of incentives and preferential policies for returned overseas Chinese. For example, my fourth sister-in-law can buy more than ten or twenty times more land than us. We are not registered here, so we can't buy residential land here. But my eldest sister-in-law can buy anywhere now, and it's much cheaper."
"Really? Yes, yes, yes! I think I heard someone say that there is such a thing!"
"Preferential policy? What kind of preferential policy is it?"
"How much cheaper? How much cheaper can it be?"
Chen Xingling whispered, "Fourth sister-in-law can buy it. The price is very favorable. Fourth sister-in-law and fourth brother didn't tell us how much cheaper it is, but they said that the other twenty acres are half sold and half given away, so it won't cost much."
After hearing this, the brothers smiled one after another.
"If that's the case, that's not bad!"
“You can get a discount and buy more – it’s a great deal!”
Chen Xingling hooked his finger at them and lowered his voice: "This preferential policy is issued by the Yucheng government. No one knows when it will end. But any policy has a time limit. There may be a discount at this moment, but it may not be available in the future."
"Is that so? In the past, there were fewer overseas Chinese coming here, so I had never heard of it back then."
"The preferential policy seems to have started a few years ago, but I don't know when it will end."
Chen Xingling shook his head: "No one knows when it will end, so shouldn't we seize the opportunity and buy more at one time, so as to avoid running out of stock and no discounts in the future? Then we can only sigh and regret, because we can't buy even if we want to."
The brothers looked at each other and nodded in approval.
"That's right! Since there is a preferential policy, we must not miss it!"
"Just buy it. Who knows when there will be no discounts. Now there are discounts, so you have to take the opportunity to buy. Who knows what will happen in the future, right?"
Chen Xingling smiled triumphantly and said, "You don't understand the inside story, so you think Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law are wasting money. Now that I have explained it to you clearly, you must support us more, so that Fourth Sister-in-law won't feel bad when she hears it."
"Then... then I will definitely support it!"
"Why didn't they tell us earlier? They just said they bought the land, and then didn't say anything else. Then they said they wanted to start a business and asked us if we had any good ideas. We all know nothing except how to start a business and do some odd jobs. How could we know anything about starting a business?"
"Sister-in-law always speaks with an accent. Sometimes she talks for a long time and we can't understand a word she says. Aqi used to have a northern accent, but he spoke neither fast nor slow, and every word was very clear, so it was easy for us to understand. Sister-in-law spoke to us in a confused way. She might have said something and we wouldn't even know it!"
"Yeah! Most of the time he said it, but we still don't understand it."
Chen Daxing looked at his sister lovingly and said with a smile, "Thank goodness my sister explained it clearly, otherwise we would have thought it was a waste of money to acquire so much land. Now that it's been explained clearly, they finally have nothing to say."
Chen Xingling waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing. We are all family, and we can just talk it out."
"We didn't have it in the first place!" Chen Xingxing suppressed a laugh: "Even if there was something going on, we kept it in our hearts and it was gone the next moment."
Chen Wuxing smiled a little embarrassedly and explained: "Your fifth sister-in-law is usually quite talkative... She had a quarrel with the fourth sister-in-law before. I scolded her, and she won't dare to do it again in the future."
"Come and comfort your sister-in-law more." Chen Xingling reminded: "Fifth sister-in-law is pregnant now, so her mood is bound to fluctuate. Fifth brother, please comfort your sister-in-law more in private and remember to give her more face."
Chen Daxing pinched the beef jerky, narrowed his eyes and whispered, "It's mainly because Fourth Sister-in-law didn't want to let Fourth Brother go to sea... Everyone secretly felt it was a pity. In fact, we can all see that Fourth Brother loves this job very much. He has been in this job for so many years, his position is getting higher and higher, and his long-distance travel is getting better and better. If he really gave up like this, everyone would feel it's a pity, right? Everyone doesn't say it, but in their hearts they are more or less... Some resentment towards Fourth Sister-in-law."
The others looked at each other, and no one spoke, but their attitudes were very clear - the eldest brother was absolutely right, they did have some opinions about the fourth sister-in-law.
Chen Xingling couldn't help but ask: "What about my parents? Do they feel the same way?"
"It's not the first day you've known your parents." Chen Zhongxing whispered, "They've always been good to us. If we decide something is good, they'll support us. As long as we young people are harmonious, they'll grit their teeth and not say anything even if they're unhappy in their hearts."
Chen Xingling nodded slowly: "Indeed. However, this is Fourth Brother's own choice after all. No matter how much Fourth Sister-in-law can influence him, he has to bow his head and listen to her willingly, right?"
Everyone was silent, unanimously agreeing with this statement.
Chen Xingling smiled bitterly, "We all grew up by the sea. We all know that many sailors and shipmen have no family and are used to wandering around the world. Fourth brother drifts on the sea all year round. It's really not easy for him to find someone who truly loves him. Everyone in our family is very stubborn and would rather not have someone who is not suitable. We are all happy for Fourth Brother to marry Fourth Sister-in-law, and so are my parents."
"That's for sure."
"We are all very happy! But... it's a pity to give up such a good unit!"
Chen Xingling couldn't help but ask back: "No matter how unfortunate it is, can it be more unfortunate than losing one's life? He and Fourth Sister-in-law encountered a shipwreck on the way here, and they almost died. If we were in their shoes, we would also be scared. Fourth Sister-in-law was scared once, so she naturally didn't dare to let her beloved take risks again. The future is important, but what can be more important than life?"
Everyone was silent for a moment, and then they understood.
"That's right! Life is the most important thing, of course."
"Sister-in-law is reluctant to let my brother take any more risks, and it's for his own good."
Chen Xingling whispered, "Although my parents don't say it, they probably support me in their hearts. Among all their children, only my fourth brother has never been home. If my fourth brother can be home and settle down in the city, and they can see him every few days, they will be secretly relieved. Who likes to worry about their son every day? It's impossible, right? If our family wasn't poor before, and my fourth brother insisted on going home, my parents would not want to let him go."
After a pause, she continued, "Besides, Fourth Brother's future may not necessarily be bad, it may be better. A tree that is moved will die, but a person who moves will live. Maybe Fourth Brother will do better in the future, we don't have to only see the bad side. Be more positive and optimistic."
"That's right." Chen Daxing laughed dumbly: "What my little sister said makes sense. Who knows, the fourth child's future will be better, right?"
"It should be better. Look! They already have so much land and even a motorcycle! How bad can it be!"
"That's right! Hahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
