Chen Zhengwen still seemed a little unconvinced and said, "Then why was she so resolute when I went to his house in the morning?"
I sighed and said, "Brother Chen, don't you know some of the grievances between your Chen family and Wu family?"
Chen Zhengwen nodded thoughtfully and said: "I have a rough idea. It seems that Lao Wu is unwilling because of these things."
"Well, in the morning you went to my house to propose marriage. Uncle Wu didn't want to do it. That's because he can't stand your father, Chen Jingming. He has no ill intentions towards you and your son."
"Yeah?"
"Why did I lie to you? If Uncle Wu hadn't asked me to come to you, could I have told you this?"
Chen Zhengwen fell silent immediately. In his silence, I continued to say to him: "But brother Chen, don't tell your father about this yet."
"But if Old Wu is willing to marry his daughter to our Chen family, then my father will know sooner or later!"
"That will happen in the future. I, Uncle Wu, only recognize you and your son. Do you understand what I say?"
At this time, someone called Chen Zhengwen. After he turned around and responded, he hurriedly said to me: "Okay, I will take my son to Lao Wu's house later."
"By the way, don't bring anything with you. I, Uncle Wu, have told me, just go as you are and don't let anyone else know." I reminded him again.
Chen Zhengwen didn't think any more and nodded immediately in agreement.
After I made it clear to Chen Zhengwen, I returned to Wu's hometown.
Mr. Wu was working on a herbal medicine in the main room and weighing the medicinal materials on a scale.
After seeing me come back, he asked me: "Have you made it clear?"
I nodded, sat down next to him and said, "Well, Mr. Wu, Chen Zhengwen and his son will come home for dinner in the evening. You don't need to say anything then. I'll just tell him. All you need to do is
Just a few words of agreement will do."
"I know what to say and what not to say, so don't worry."
I nodded again, looked at a medicinal material he was preparing and asked, "Mr. Wu, are you no longer using those medicinal herbs you prepared yesterday? Why are you getting new ones?"
"I will add some other medicinal materials for you tonight. You may feel body heat. That is normal. Don't panic."
"I felt hot last night."
"Then it will feel hotter today, but it's okay. Don't be afraid. It won't hurt your skin."
"Well," I nodded and asked again, "Do you have to take a bath like this every night?"
"Yes, if you do it every day, your symptoms will gradually improve."
I nodded again and didn't ask any more questions.
…
Before dark, Chen Zhengwen came with his son.
Compared with the morning, Mr. Wu was much more enthusiastic and even took the initiative to bring chairs for the Chen family and his son to sit on.
During the meal, Mr. Wu even took out old wine and drank it with Chen Zhengwen.
Chen Zhengwen's son stared at Wu Nanxing from his chair as in the morning, as if he couldn't move his eyes away. Even when he was eating, he stared at Wu Nanxing from his chair.
This is very rude, but it also shows that he is very uneducated.
Chen Zhengwen and Mr. Wu were talking about the two children. Mr. Wu smiled and said, "Old Chen, I think we can't rush this matter. We have to let the two children deal with it first. After all, now
Unlike our time in the past, young people today pay attention to cultivating relationships, right?"
It was a good thing for Chen Zhengwen that Mr. Wu agreed to the marriage. Naturally, he had no objection and immediately nodded in agreement.
He also said that after the two children get married, they will move to the city. He has already bought a big house in the city and will never let Nan Xing suffer any losses in the future.
That night, Mr. Wu and Chen Zhengwen had a very lively chat. Chen Zhengwen was also happy, so he drank a lot of wine.
Mr. Wu also asked me and Wu Nanxing to go see them off together. This made Chen Zhengwen's son very happy. Along the way, he told Wu Nanxing about what he had seen and heard in the city.
Wu Nanxing was not interested in what he was talking about at all. She remained silent and followed me silently with her head lowered.
Chen Zhengwen drank too much, and his walking was a little unsteady, but he was really happy, and he always called me brother and sister, saying that we would be a family from now on, and that if he ate, I would drink.
I kept smiling and echoing, but I also took the opportunity to say to him: "Brother Chen, there is something I want to talk to you about."
"Say, what's the matter?" he said, waving his arms generously.
"Even if it's about the development of our village..."
Before I could finish speaking, Chen Zhengwen laughed and said, "You want to share more money, right? No problem, I have a way."
"I want to share more money, but Brother Chen, don't you want to share more money?"
Chen Zhengwen suddenly stopped, looked at me unsteadily and said, "Brother Chen, what do you mean by this?"
"Brother Chen, there's no one else here, so I just have something to say."
"Say it."
"I talked with Mr. Mei from the developer, and I even looked at their land acquisition compensation model. I found a loophole that we can use to make a fortune."
Chen Zhengwen was swaying and then suddenly stopped.
He stretched out his hand to hold the telephone pole next to him, then looked at me seriously and said: "Brother Chen, I... I don't quite understand what you mean? Can you please make it clear?"
I whispered: "That's what's going on. In addition to housing occupation, the developer also expropriates and occupies land. Subsidy is given per square meter. One square meter is fifteen yuan. Calculated, one mu of land is one yuan per square meter."
It’s about 10,000 yuan a year.”
Chen Zhengwen was stunned for a moment and said, "Hey! Our family has so much land, isn't it a fortune?"
I sighed and said, "Brother Chen! Why don't you understand what I mean? This acre of land is only 10,000 yuan a year. Do you really think you are making a profit? And the right of interpretation lies with the developer!"
"
"So, Brother Chen, what do you think?"
"Brother Chen, let me ask you, do you want to make a lot of money? I don't mean tens of thousands, but millions."
"One million?" Chen Zhengwen took a breath and said, "I have never seen so much money in my life, how can I make it?"
"The land you own is not land, it is gold everywhere!"
"Brother Chen, I'm a little dizzy now. Can you speak more clearly?"
I smiled, stretched out my hand to support him and said, "If your land is just taken over by developers, you will only be able to get twenty or thirty thousand yuan at most, that's about it, right?"
"Well, it's almost there. Our family only has about thirty acres of land."
"So, we have to turn these thirty acres of land into treasure!"
"How to turn waste into treasure?"
"Brother Chen, think about it, if all the medicinal materials are planted on these lands, we will call them precious medicinal materials, and the developer can spend 10,000 yuan on it?"
Chen Zhengwen was silent for a moment and said: "Then you mean to plant medicinal herbs on these lands?"
"That's right, this way we can turn waste into treasure. That means we can raise the price on the ground. If we don't have millions, it's impossible for them to move it."
Chen Zhengwen, however, was suspicious and asked: "Are developers that stupid? What if they just quit?"
"It's impossible. They have already decided to develop Miao Village, and it's only a few million dollars, which is not surprising for a development company."
Chen Zhengwen fell silent again, seeming to be thinking.
I patted his shoulder and said to him: "Brother Chen, don't be in a hurry to give me an answer. Let me know when you think about it... But don't think about it for too long.
It’s better to do it sooner rather than later.”
After Chen Zhengwen was silent for a short time, he immediately nodded and said, "Okay, but you have to keep this matter a secret."
