Chu Lin didn't stay at home for too long as usual. He dressed up and left early in the morning. Chu He didn't know what he was going to do again, but it was definitely not drinking and gambling. Chu He was used to getting up early to go to work.
He went to bed at two o'clock last night and got up on time at seven-thirty. He went out sleepily. Xia He, who slept even later than him, had prepared a rich and delicious breakfast. Aunt Fang was not idle, and helped with chopsticks.
They began to pour freshly squeezed soy milk for everyone. They are a pair of virtuous and virtuous women who are suitable to be wives.
"Good morning." Seeing Chu He going out, Xia He said a little reservedly in excitement. "The toothpaste has been squeezed out. Wash up quickly and come to eat."
Chu He rubbed his messy hair, smiled and nodded.
As soon as they went in to brush their teeth, the little Loli was thrown into the bathroom by Xia He with a confused look on her face. The couple brushed their teeth while spraying white foam on each other's face, which was quite evil.
After washing up, the four of them gathered around the dining table to eat. Aunt Fang said calmly: "I have to meet some people today, so I can't accompany you."
"Aunt Fang, go and do your work. As long as you have me at home, that's all." Xia He blushed again after saying that. It seemed that he had said something he shouldn't have said.
Aunt Fang naturally noticed that Xia He was different from last night, so she didn't point it out and said to Chu He: "After breakfast, take Xiao Xia out for a walk. Staying at home every day will cause mold."
Chu He was competing for food with the little Lolita. When he saw Aunt Fang saying this, he swallowed the food with a mouthful of soy milk and said with a smile: "I understand."
"I'm going to climb the Great Wall." Little Loli expressed her opinion.
"Your legs are so short, are you afraid to move?" Chu He asked.
"——" Little Loli opened her teeth and wanted to fall out with Chu He, but was stopped by Xia He, who was overflowing with happiness.
The little Loli said aggrievedly: "You are all bullying me. I won't play with you anymore."
After that, I grabbed a big bowl of fried noodles and a cup of soy milk and went back to the room to watch TV.
Everyone laughed it off.
Chuhe saw Aunt Fang out of the gate of the community, but saw a young man standing next to the Audi that was always driving. He seemed to be waiting for Aunt Fang, and behind the Audi, there were actually a Land Rover and two Mercedes-Benz parked. Each one
There were one or two young or older men beside the car. The only thing the same was that everyone's face was full of solemn expressions. They seemed to be in a nervous mood.
"Sister Fang."
"The big boss."
The older one, who looked like a successful man, called Sister Fang, while the younger one called him Big Boss uneasily. It was obvious that these men had different identities and backgrounds, but they all respected Aunt Fang very much. In Chu He's opinion, they even respected her.
He was a little in awe. Only Liu Laosan showed a little calmness.
He stood in front of the Land Rover. When he saw Chu He escorting Aunt Fang out, he strode forward to greet her. With a stiff expression on his rough and domineering face, he said, "Good morning, Sister Fang."
Aunt Fang nodded lightly, turned back to Chu He and said, "Go back. Aunt Fang is going to do something."
Chu He smiled and said, "Aunt Fang will be back soon."
"Okay." Aunt Fang licked Chuhe's collar naturally and said in a friendly manner, "It's windy."
"Goodbye, Aunt Fang."
After saying this, Chu He nodded to Liu Laosan and turned back to the community.
But what Aunt Fang did just now made the men beside the car stunned.
Who is that young man? How could he be treated so affectionately by the big boss?
They all thought about it secretly and decided to check this person out after going back to see if he was worth making friends with.
Aunt Fang got directly into Liu Laosan's Land Rover. After everyone got on the car, she said slowly: "Let's go."
"Yes. Sister Fang."
The motorcade first left the city, and then drove on the highway toward another city: Xishan.
As an important town rich in coal resources, Xishan has produced many nouveau riche and coal bosses in the past two decades. This has also affected Xishan's reputation to some extent. But this does not mean that Xishan has nouveau riche except coal bosses.
There is no real family or big family with real heritage.
Yes. Ruijiazhuang is such a family. It is no weaker than the so-called Huangpu wealthy family in Baicheng, Yanjing. Of course, Xishan is famous for its coal mines, and no one must distinguish themselves from the coal mines to show their taste and talent. Just like
Speaking of which, don't today's real estate developers also rely on land and construction to make their fortunes? Are there no nouveau riche or big bosses with low quality? There are. The reason why we look down on coal bosses psychologically is because of coal.
The things themselves are relatively vulgar and dirty. This is the herd mentality of many people. However, what would the world be like without coal mines, which people think are low-level?
College students would rather sit in an office and think of themselves as white-collar workers and receive a meager living wage for a month than do the menial job of setting up a street stall and doing marketing. Isn't it because they think they are superior to others and feel that they are losing face?
Bad nature.
Ruijiazhuang is a large family in Xishan, and it is also the most famous surname in Xishan. In Ruijiazhuang, a modern village with a population of less than 10,000, there are thousands of people who can be related to the surname Rui, either directly or indirectly.
Most of the remaining 9,000 are migrant workers. It can be seen that in Ruijiazhuang, having the surname Rui is a great thing and something to be proud of.
The secretary of the village committee is from the Rui family. The village chief is from the Rui family. Even all the village committee members are from the Rui family. It can be said that this village is the kingdom of the Rui family. Even people from the city have to act based on their faces.
It can be said that he is a local emperor.
Ruifang is the child king of her generation. Liu Laosan belongs to a branch of the Rui family. His father came in by marriage, but his family did not force Liu Laosan to take his mother's surname, so they kept their original surname. Ruifang's child was named Wang.
The reason is not that her family is the richest in Ruijiazhuang, the village committee secretary is her father, and the village chief is her second uncle. It’s that she has the absolute strength to tame those whose families are all rich and born with a golden key.
Naughty kid.
The Land Rover drove straight in, directly onto the village's main road, which was no less spacious than the widest road in Yanjing city, and drove towards the Rui Family Courtyard.
There are many families with the surname Rui in Ruijiazhuang, but there is only one family in the Ruijia compound. That is Ruifang's family.
There are two majestic stone lions at the entrance of the Rui Family Courtyard, facing south and majestic. No one dares to break in and steal even if the door is not closed. Of course, another reason why they dare not steal is the guard in the courtyard.
It is definitely not something that ordinary petty thieves can fight against. Even if he is beaten to death on the spot, his death will be in vain.
This fleet did not attract the attention of passers-by. The reason is very simple. There are too many rich people in Ruijiazhuang. Not to mention luxury cars such as Land Rover and Mercedes-Benz, even Bentley, Ferrari and Lamborghini can be seen everywhere. It is like eating delicacies from the mountains and seas at home every day.
Those abalone and ginseng in high-end restaurants are not very appetizing.
As usual, the Rui Family Courtyard still has a desolate and solemn atmosphere. It doesn't look like a courtyard in a village at all. It looks like the courtyard of a wealthy family's deep palace.
The motorcade stopped at the door, and Liu Laosan quickly opened the door for Ruifang. This grassroots tycoon who had risen rapidly in Yanjing seemed to enjoy working for Ruifang. He did not feel ashamed at all, but it was an honor that no one else could seek.
After Ruifang got out of the car, Liu Laosan glanced at Ruifang with a calm expression, and said with a murmur: "The old man is in the room."
"Um."
Aunt Fang's expression was still very calm. It was different from the gentle and delicate look she had with Chu He. There was a subtle sadness in her seriousness.
She walked slowly towards the inner courtyard. When the workers and servants nearby saw the return of the most famous woman in the village, they all lowered their heads and called the eldest lady softly.
Aunt Fang didn't seem to pay much attention to these people. She pursed her lips and frowned as she entered the inner courtyard, and then walked towards the second floor.
That was the place where her father lived. He stayed there for a lifetime. Even if the family had more wealth than they could spend in ten lifetimes, the old man would not move.
The stairs have been renovated, the doors have been replaced with expensive mahogany, and many small details have been arranged in a freehand and exquisite manner by her. Regardless of whether you are a wealthy nouveau riche or an elegant person with a high taste in life, you will give this house a very high rating.
Comment. Praise the builder for his ingenuity.
Creak.
Ruifang opened the door. There was an old man guarding the bed, and four or five women stood beside him. They were all servants taking care of the dying old man on the bed.
When everyone saw Ruifang coming, the old man stood up first and said: "Xiaofang, you are finally back."
"Second uncle." Ruifang nodded to the old man and said softly, "How is the old man doing?"
The old man turned back and glanced at his elder brother with a wrinkled face, and sighed softly: "A few days ago, I was still shouting about burning knives. Last night, I said I would fall down and I fell down."
The disease comes like a mountain, and the disease goes away like a thread. This is probably the principle.
Ruifang's eyes flashed with deep sadness, but her face didn't express much as she walked around the crowd and walked to the bed.
"You're back..." The old man on the bed seemed to sense something and slowly opened his eyes.
When the second uncle saw his eldest brother waking up, he ordered all the servants to leave, leaving the women behind to say their final goodbyes.
He knew that the reason why his eldest brother could survive until now was because he was waiting for this precious daughter who he had loved and loved all his life but could not get enough of.
"Yes." As soon as everyone left, the expression on Ruifang's face suddenly became extremely sad. She held the old man's rough palm. "I'm back."
"Just come back. Just come back -" the old man said angrily.
"Don't talk." Ruifang said softly. "Have a good rest and you will get better."
"No way." The old man said softly. "This time is different from the past. In fact, I expected this day half a year ago."
Ruifang pursed her lips gently, feeling silently sad.
"Fangfang. When I leave, you will be the only one left in Ruijiazhuang." The old man said slowly. "Those people are all looking at you."
"It's just a small village." Ruifang said with relief. "What they want is money and they don't care about anything else."
"Human desire is endless." The old man sighed softly.
"Don't worry." Ruifang pursed her lips and said, "I was able to suppress them back then, but now they can't make trouble."
"Alas -" the old man said. "You are the only one left to carry it."
The old man's face showed deep sympathy.
The second time he said there was only one person left.
How could Ruifang not know the old man's implication?
Could this old man lying dying on the hospital bed be the most tolerant father in the world?
He has no children, only one precious daughter. But this precious daughter has been waiting for that man for twenty years. The old man is worried in his heart, but he never says it. Even if he is dying now, he cannot bear to force his daughter.
"I will work hard." Ruifang said after a moment of silence. "I will definitely work hard."
Hearing the words, the old man finally smiled. A thick smile appeared on his old face. He gently raised his hand, rubbed his daughter's beautiful and fair face, and said softly: "My daughter is so beautiful and capable. She can't be replaced by anyone else."
Will refuse."
Ruifang laughed softly.
But she smiled and finally cried.
She is the child king of Ruijiazhuang. No one among the children outside has ever seen her cry. Even when facing her father before he left, she tried hard to maintain her calmness and strength. She didn't cry, not that she wasn't sad, and more importantly
It's not that she's willing to give up. It's that she is the only one left in Ruijiazhuang. If she is weak, show her weakness to her father. How can his father go on the road with peace of mind?
The rough palm slowly dropped, and the old man rested in peace.
He walked very steadily and calmly.
The daughter has the ability to carry this village, which seems to only number ten thousand people, but is actually spread out and spread across the country. The daughter promised him that she would work hard, and she will definitely work hard. What can’t a daughter who works hard not do?
He waited until his daughter arrived and received a positive reply from her. He felt relieved and was not worried that the Rui family would be extinct.
Creak!
Ruifang opened the door and said to her second uncle who was standing at the door, "Dad is gone."
"Brother!"
There was deep sadness on the second uncle's face, but a strange look appeared in the corner of his eyes. This look fell easily into Ruifang's eyes. But she didn't say anything or do anything. She just looked at her immediate relatives and others.
Relatives were crying and making trouble at her house, as if it was not Ruifang's father who died, but theirs.
Mr. Rui is gone. That is to say, the village committee secretary is gone. When the village committee secretary is gone, the power of the village hangs in the balance. Should the son inherit his father's business, or should his second uncle, who is the most qualified, inherit it?
This was the first question that came up after the old man left.
But Ruifang just prepared for her father's death with peace of mind.
Due to Mr. Rui's status, his funeral was enough to alarm the senior leaders of Xishan City. But Ruifang declined everyone's worship. Despite the wreaths sent from all over the place, Ruifang moved as quickly as possible within one day.
Finished the old man's funeral.
"Nonsense!"
The second uncle led a group of clan elders to rush to Ruifang. Seeing that the coffin was about to be buried, he immediately ordered the people to stop what they were doing. He shouted: "My eldest brother has been famous throughout his life. He has benefited Ruijiazhuang and is the mainstay of Xishan City. How can the funeral be carried out?"
So careless?"
"That's right. The mayor is already on his way here. He said that no matter what, he must pay homage to the old man for the last time. Do you want the old man to leave like this?"
"Xiaofang. The eldest man loved you so much during his lifetime. How could you do this? Aren't you afraid that the eldest man would be disappointed if he knew what he was doing?"
Ruifang stood quietly in front of the tomb, her spiritual eyes that seemed to be able to speak gently scanned the uncles and elders, and said calmly: "Is it your father or mine who is buried?"
"Nonsense!"
"That's unreasonable!"
"The eldest master is your father, isn't he from our Ruijiazhuang? Shouldn't it be handled according to the wishes of the clan?"
"Ruifang. Don't think that you can ignore us elders if you go out and work alone!"
"The old man would never agree even if he were still alive!"
Liu Laosan, who was standing behind Ruifang, wanted to support her but didn't know how to refute.
In Yanjing, in China, and even abroad, as long as Liu Laosan is able, he can support Sister Fang at all costs. But at this moment, facing the group of elders who have watched him grow up since childhood, he can't speak.
He didn't dare to speak either.
Among those elders, two are mother's cousins, and one is mother's brother——
Liu Laosan knew what these people were planning.
Yes, if they can seize the initiative, if they can control the overall situation, they will at least become the beneficiaries of these hundreds of billions of benefits. There may be many people who share the benefits, but the initiative is in their own hands and they decide how to share it. It is better than leaving it to others.
An outsider?
Anyone who prevents them from getting rich is an outsider. Including the big boss who is about to be buried!
They could have made more money, they could have become nationally famous rich men. They were capable of doing it. But the boss refused to let them do it. They said that it was wrong and bad to do so, and they had to take responsibility.
.But who wants to listen?
If you tell officials that corruption will be punished and judged, will they stop being corrupt?
If you tell directors not to unspoken rules for female stars, it will easily destroy family harmony and easily catch diseases. Will they listen and not unspoken rules?
After all, there are only a few people in this world who have self-control, and there are only a few people in this world who don't take advantage of the benefits. There are even fewer people in this world who can control their ambitions and lust.
Well, they didn't dare to go against the elder, so they had to obey the advice of the elder who had the highest seniority and the most seniority. Now he is finally gone and dead. Do they still have to listen to a woman who left Ruijiazhuang long ago?
impossible!
This woman is not qualified to make them obey. She is definitely not senior enough!
In Ruijia Village, seniority is important. No matter how famous or powerful you are outside, when you go home, you have to listen to the reprimands and teachings of your elders. What's more, these elders are by no means incompetent, they are capable.
Yes, it is also powerful!
"Buried."
When everyone was staring at Ruifang fiercely and deliberately making things difficult for the helpless Ruijiazhuang woman in front of them, a powerful and unmistakable voice suddenly came from behind.
After hearing the words, everyone turned around immediately. They saw a man with gray hair walking slowly. His ordinary but extraordinary face was full of composure. It was like the first time he entered Ruijiazhuang and was about to leave.
Ruijiazhuang was in a state of unrest. This time, he also brought a strong sense of crisis to people!
"What are you doing here?"
"Chu Lin, why do you care about our Ruijiazhuang's affairs!?"
The man came slowly, until he came to Ruifang's side, he glanced at the group of men calmly, and suddenly put his arms around Ruifang's waist, which was still full even though he was over forty years old: "She is about to become mine.
Wife, the person buried in the coffin will soon become my father-in-law."
"Am I qualified to take charge?"
"Buried."
"I said so."
"My name is Chu Lin."
When Liu Laosan saw this gray-haired man approaching, he said these very contagious and domineering words. He gave the order and shouted: "Bury!"
The whole place was silent. They all stared at the man and woman who seemed to never be a couple. While they were angry in their hearts, they did not dare to say anything anymore. They just stared at Chu Lin hatefully, as if they wanted to kill him.
Thousands of cuts.
But, do they dare?
Do they dare to face the man who left a shadow in their hearts more than twenty years ago?
They dare not.
Because his name is Chu Lin.
