The news of Chen Xiaocai's return quickly spread in the village.
The people of the Chen family were very excited. Back then, Lu Lin spent a lot of money to buy an official position. Everyone in the village knew how rich Lu Lin was. After so many years, everyone felt that Lu Lin should be richer. Chen Xiaocai He was following Lu Lin, so he was naturally rich. Chen Xiaocai and his party consisted of more than ten people and eight guards. Just by looking at the spectacle, everyone knew that Chen Xiaocai would not be poor now.
Several members of the Chen family gathered together. For some unknown reason, they did not invite Mr. Chen Jin's family.
Patriarch Hui, Chen Xiaocai is back, and he is considered a big shot from our clan, shall we treat him well this time?" Yes, all the big bosses in the town invited him to dinner.
"Long, it would be great if he still lived in the village."
"It's a waste of money to stay in an inn, isn't the Shen family's house still there?" Several clansmen who were watching couldn't help discussing in a low voice. From the perspective of the villagers, the inn was lived by rich people. In the end, Chen Xiaocai rented an inn to live in. It's a waste of living for his subordinates.
"The Shen family's house is too small. Chen Xiaomi's house was well built. If Xiaomi's house hadn't been sold, Xiaocai would have lived in the countryside."
"Why did Xiaocai come back?"
"It's Shen Chi who wants to come back. Shen Chi gave birth to two sons, and one of them wants to enter the family tree of Shen's family. They came back to visit the grave."
Chen Ding asked in confusion: "Xiaocai has a child, what's the matter with entering the Shen family tree?"
"The Shen family has withered, and there is only a little boy like Shen Chi left. Shen Chi probably wants to leave a root for the Shen family." A clan elder said.
"He's married to Xiaocai, and the children born here should all belong to our Chen family. What's the matter with entering the Shen family's genealogy." An elder from the Chen family couldn't help but say sourly.
The old man of the Chen family once thought of giving his little granddaughter to Xiaocai as a concubine, but Chen Xiaocai refused.
"If you can be Chen Xiaolai's master, you can discuss it with him." A clan elder said angrily.
As soon as the clan elders spoke, several clan elders were a little sleepy. Back then, there was a quarrel about Chen Jing's matter. Later, Chen Xiaomi's matter was exposed, and the Chen clan didn't take advantage of it.
"Patriarch, look at how Chen Xiaocai will fix this matter!"
"Before, we offended Brother Chen Xiaocai a lot because of Chen Shouxin's family. This time we still need to build a good relationship."
Chen Ding was smoking, feeling a little headache.
Chen family.
"Master, is Chen Xiaocai back?" Mrs. Zhang asked Chen Shouxin.
Chen Shouxin nodded and said, "Yes."
When the people in the clan heard that Chen Xiaolai was back, they all wanted to go up and make friends. In the recent period, the clan members deliberately avoided their family in meetings every now and then, which was really too much.
what a pity! The clan is full of courage to shave their heads, and Chen Xiaocai doesn't seem to have the intention to build a good relationship with the clan.
Every time Chen Shouxin recalled the past, he would feel as if he had experienced a dream. He almost sold Chen Xiaocai back then. If he had sold Chen Xiaocai decisively back then, it would be Chen Xiaocai's turn to show off his might now. what!
Mrs. Zhang said depressedly: "Chen Xiaolai, that bastard, he left as soon as he left. Why are you coming back? Did you come here on purpose to show off?"
Knowing that Chen Xiaocai couldn't get anything cheap, Mrs. Zhang was very annoyed by Chen Xiaocai's return this time.
Chen Xiaocai is a big shot now, the better Chen Xiaolai's life is, the more it will reflect how miserable their family is now.
As soon as Chen Xiaocai came back, the third child made a fuss, saying that it was because they treated Chen Xiaomi too much back then, which caused the Chen Xiaomi brothers to separate from them.
Mrs. Zhang scoffed at what Sanfang said. Back then, they treated Erfang badly, but Sanfang was not much better.
Every time Mrs. Zhang thinks that Chen Xiaomi and Lu Lin don't know where to get promoted and get rich, but they are living a hard life in the countryside, she feels very uncomfortable. Mrs. Zhang could only fantasize that Lu Lin's career as an official was not going well, and he might have been killed by the mob. However, judging by the manner in which Chen Xiaocai came back, it was probably impossible.
"Is this the place?" Several villagers found the inn where Chen Xiaocai lived.
Chen Xiaocai chose the best inn in the town, and it looked very impressive. Several villagers stood in front of the inn, a little hesitant.
The waiter at the inn looked at the people with weird expressions, which made the villagers a little at a loss.
Shen Chi hugged Shen Nian and walked down the stairs.
The innkeeper saw Shen Chi coming down, and said respectfully: "Master Chi, these guys said they came to find you to be the master."
Shen Chi glanced at the door, nodded, and said, "Got it."
Holding the baby, Shen Chi walked up to several members of the Chen family.
The leader of the clan elder said with some embarrassment: "A Chi, you are back!"
Shen Chi nodded, "Several clansmen always come to look for side dishes."
"That's right! It's rare that he's back, we always have to get together, after all, everyone is from the Chen family." A clan veteran said.
Although Shen Chi didn't take it seriously, he didn't lose face to a few people.
"Several uncles, he went out for the side dishes early in the morning. You haven't eaten yet. Eat some first, and wait while you eat."
When several clan elders heard Shen Chi's words, they were a little embarrassed to refuse.
Shen Chi was not polite to others, he greeted the owner of the inn and served some dishes to the Chen family.
The food in this inn is naturally more expensive, so there is a suspicion of ripping off customers, but with Shen Chi's net worth, there is no need to worry about it.
Shen Chi was dressed in a moon-white robe, his hair was tied up with a silver crown, and a jade hairpin was stuck in it. Although he was dressed in a simple way, he looked a bit luxurious. When several villagers saw Shen Chi's style, they unconsciously I felt a little pressure.
"Achi, this is your doll!"
Shen Chi nodded and said, "Yes! It's Shen Nian."
Shen Chi lifted Shen Nian up, Shen Nian shook his hands and feet a little excitedly, the silver bells on his hands and feet rang wildly. Shen Nian likes bells very much, when he wakes up, he likes to make all kinds of noises.
"Looking really energetic!" A clan elder forced a smile, and didn't mention the child's last name was Shen.
Shen Chi chatted with everyone for a while, after the meal was over, Chen Xiaocai was still not served, so they had no choice but to leave first.
Lu family.
"Chen Xiaocai is back?" Tang Shi asked Lu Chengyu.
Lu Chengyu nodded, and said, "Yes! I heard that he came back to visit the old lady Shen's grave, and it was for Shen Chi's youngest son to enter the Shen family tree."
Tang said sullenly: "Shen Chi, this guy is really arrogant!" Tang thought to himself: Shen Chi is just a little girl with ordinary looks, and Chen Xiaocai is the big boss now. Shen Chi actually asked his son to take his surname, so he was so arrogant that he was not afraid that Chen Xiaocai would get bored, so he just divorced him.
"There are quite a few people in the village who want to introduce their daughters to Chen Xiaocai, but Chen Xiaocai doesn't seem to be interested." In recent years, Chen Xiaocai has grown a few years old, but he is still very young. Now that he is older, it seems Even more popular.
Tang said sullenly: "Yes! Many people in this village don't even want their face for money." Li Fangyue, who was married to Lu Chengyu, gave birth to a daughter two years ago, which made Tang very angry.
Tang Shi wanted to find a concubine for Lu Chengyu, but the family's financial conditions did not allow it. Seeing that Chen Xiaocai was so popular, compared with his son's lack of interest, Tang Shi felt very uncomfortable. Obviously his son is a scholar, and the girls in the village are all swindlers, and they like the rich ones.
"Shen Chi, you are really lucky!" Lu Chengyu said.
Tang thought to himself: Shen Chi, a kid, has no father and no mother, and his grandmother is also dead. He used to look like an unlucky man, but he didn't expect that he was actually a lucky man. He gave birth to two sons in this life. He also managed Chen Xiaocai tightly.
The old lady Shen is really good at scheming! Back then those people smeared Shen Chi, but in the end, they fulfilled this little pair.
Zhang family.
"Mother, is Chen Xiaocai back?" Zhang Ya asked.
Ma Yuelan nodded, and said: "Yes! This kid is very popular now. It is said that he has been to the capital and has relations with the officials in the capital. He is really the guy who is cheap."
Zhang Ya said sullenly: "Chen Xiaocai is so promising!"
When Zhang Ya was a little girl in the village, Ma Yuelan also thought about marrying Zhang Ya to Chen Xiaocai, but Lu Lin refused because Chen Xiaocai was too young.
Because what happened back then, Ma Yuelan often spoke ill of Shen Chi and Chen Xiaocai in the village. However, because Shen Chi and Chen Xiaocai had a bad reputation, the bad words Ma Yuelan spread did not have much effect.
Later, Huaxia Commercial Bank was exposed as Lu Lin's shop, which greatly stimulated Ma Yuelan, and Zhang Ya was also greatly stimulated.
Zhang Ya actually didn't like Chen Xiaocai, but later learned that Chen Xiaocai was relatively low-key and rich, and she regretted losing her beloved.
Zhang Ya had already married two years ago. For the villagers, she was pretty good, but compared to Chen Xiaocai, she was far worse.
Chen Xiaocai has already been to the capital. He is knowledgeable, wealthy, and gentle and considerate. For the girls in the village, he is simply the best example of husband-in-law.
"That's right! Lu Lin bought an official back then, and he should have done a lot of things for the common people. If not, Chen Xiaocai would not be able to make a fortune along with it. He might be imprisoned when he finds out." Ma Yuelan cursed the way.
Zhang Ya thought to herself: How can this official master go down so easily? The one in Lin Zhen before seems to be unlucky too.
"I heard that Chen Xiaocai came back for Shen Chi, and wanted to record their son in the Shen family's genealogy."
Ma Yuelan nodded, and said: "There is such a thing, Shen Chi, this little twin, is really lucky, he gave birth to two sons at once."
Zhang Ya lowered her head sadly, sighed, feeling a little bit unwilling in her heart, feeling that she failed to fight hard and missed a good match, if not, she should be the proprietress now. Zhang Ya had heard rumors from Butcher Zhang that Chen Xiaocai had bought a shop on a street with amazing financial resources, which was always a bit uncomfortable.
Shen Chi bought some gold paper, and seriously folded a lot of ingots, and Chen Xiaocai helped out for a while.
This kind of thing could have been done by someone else, but Shen Chi felt that only by doing it himself would he be sincere, so he did it himself.
"Did anyone from the village look for you during the day?" Shen Chi asked.
Chen Xiaocai nodded, and said: "There are people from the Chen family. Ask me if I want to buy the house back, if I want to come back or something."
Shen Chi secretly said: The people of the Chen family didn't wait for people two days ago, but they came again these two days, they are really persistent! Shen Chi glanced at Chen Xiaocai, and said, "House, what do you mean?"
Chen Xiaocai shook his head, "The house has already been sold, so there is no need to buy it back." The villagers just hope to get some benefits from him, and they don't really welcome him to live back.
"Is someone looking for you!" Chen Xiaocai asked.
Shen Chi nodded, and said: "There is such a thing."
During the day, Shen Chi took his elder son and younger son out for a stroll, and happened to meet his distant relative. In fact, the relationship between the two parties was already far away.
The other party came up and chatted for a while, and after chatting for a while, they talked about Chen Xiaocai's recent business, and many people praised him for his good fortune.
"Those people didn't make things difficult for you, did they?" Chen Xiaocai asked.
Shen Chi smiled and said, "What are you thinking? Of course not, they just envy me for being blessed."
"What do those people know? Chi is so capable, and I am the lucky one." Chen Xiaocai smiled and said with a tilted head.
Shen Chi glanced at Chen Xiaocai, and said, "He will speak nicely."
After Chen Xiaocai returned to the village, many people talked to Chen Xiaocai, but Chen Xiaocai was very indifferent to others, so many people turned their attention to Shen Chi.
Compared to Chen Xiaocai, Shen Chi is a little easier to talk to.
"A Chi, these two are your sons!" An old woman couldn't help asking when she saw Shen Chi holding one in his hand and another following behind him.
Shen Chi nodded and said, "That's right, one is Chen Lei and the other is Shen Nian."
"Ah Chi, you are really lucky. You have given birth to two sons in your lifetime, unlike mine who only give birth to money-losers." The aunt said helplessly.
Shen Chi smiled faintly, but didn't speak.
Influenced by Chen Xiaomi, Shen Chi didn't place too much emphasis on men and women, but Shen Chi also knew that in the eyes of the villagers, it was more blessed to have a boy.
"A Chi, this little one has your surname Shen!"
Shen Chi nodded, and said: "Yes!" His grandfather and grandmother had the same surname, and the surname Shen was actually passed down from his grandfather, who had only one son from his father, who died young, and my grandmother always felt a little sorry for my grandfather.
"Xiaocai listens to you!" A fat aunt asked.
Shen Chi nodded, and said: "It was Xiaocai who proposed it."
The fat aunt looked at Shen Chi and said: "A Chi, you are so lucky to have found such a considerate person. My daughter is not as lucky as you."
Shen Chi hugged Shen Nian who was sleeping soundly, and smiled calmly.
After Shen Chi returned to the village, he had heard such words a lot, and he was used to it.
