Mayor Zeng left with the director and others. On the way, Mayor Zeng asked curiously: "Director, do you know this Lin Chen?"
"Of course!"
The director looked at Mayor Zeng meaningfully and said, "Dr. Lin has very good medical skills. He has treated Teacher Huang several times!"
His words were brief, but they shocked Mayor Zeng because he also knew who Mr. Huang was!
Although he beat Lin Wei violently, Lin Chen still felt angry. It was just because of his grandfather's face that he didn't beat him to death!
After returning home, the house was very lively. My sister-in-law and my grandfather were busy in the kitchen. Seven or eight people were sitting in the living room, eating melon seeds and watching TV. No one was helping in the kitchen.
A middle-aged man wearing a suit, his shirt buttoned crookedly, and his hair waxed came over.
"Xiaochen, you're back!"
He showed two big gold teeth when he spoke, and this person was Lin Chen's uncle Lin Yi. He seemed to be polite and said: "I have grown a lot taller, but I am just thin. Where do I work? Why three or four
I won’t go home for years!”
"Work as a clerk in a company!"
Lin Chen lazily said that he had been very unhappy with his uncle since he was a child. He was lazy and had not worked since he got married. He often asked his grandfather and father for help!
"Lin Chen, it's better to go home as a clerk. Your family has developed now, and your salary is much better. Besides, one of your cousins is about to be promoted, and the other is the boss of Maotai Company. Isn't it a backhand to arrange a job for you?
"
The second aunt sitting in front of the TV also spoke. She has a bloated body, a few gold bracelets on her thick wrists, and looks rich!
It's not that she deliberately looked down on Lin Chen, it was mainly because of the Lin family. Lin Chen studied medicine with his grandfather since he was a child, and he was very stupid. In this day and age, people who study medicine all have the title of expert professor.
What kind of future can a traditional Chinese medicine doctor like Lin Chen have? I don’t think anyone would want to work in a hospital!
"Second aunt, what our company is looking for is someone who is articulate, smart and capable. Lin Chen is really not suitable!"
At this time, Lin Wei's younger brother Lin Ye shook his head and said, he was wearing a famous brand suit and a famous watch. At first glance, he looked like a well-known person!
"Cousin, what about me? You promised to introduce me to a job, don't break your promise then!"
Lin Yanling, the second aunt's daughter, suddenly shouted that she was not very old, but she was dressed in fancy clothes, which made Lin Chen extremely disgusted.
"Don't worry, I am also the boss of Maotai Company after all. I will definitely do what I promised you!" Lin Ye said nonchalantly.
"Very good!"
Lin Yanling smiled happily: "I heard that Maotai Company is a subsidiary of Maoye Group, and Maoye Group is a listed company with the best salary. Many of my classmates want to work in Maotai Company after graduation, but there has been no way!
"
Maotai Company specializes in the seafood industry in Changle Town, and with the support of Maoye Group, it is extremely rich, and its general manager is naturally a good job!
Lin Ye relied on the back door, currying favor with his boss, and eventually became the general manager. He was able to get ahead!
"Cousin Lin Chen was very good when he was young, but now he is just average!"
In contrast, Lin Yanling looked down on Lin Chen a little. She saw Lin Chen wearing sportswear, and the fact that he came back empty-handed after a rare visit showed that he was really not doing well!
"Lin Ye, you are so promising, why don't you pay back the money you owe grandpa?"
Lin Chen suddenly said something, causing the living room to become silent for an instant.
The uncle and second aunt looked a little ugly. The uncle said lightly: "Lin Chen, why are you talking!"
"Don't you think that I have no future, no money, and can't compare to forestry? Since he is so capable, why don't you help grandpa? When I came back, I looked and saw that the clothes grandpa was wearing were still those from five or six years ago.
The uncle is wearing a brand-name suit, and the second aunt is also full of gold bracelets. If you sell these things, you can pay off the money you owe grandpa!" Lin Chen said lightly.
"Lin Chen, that's enough for you, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!"
Lin Ye immediately assumed the posture of general manager.
"Haha, do you still have the face if you don't repay the borrowed money?" Lin Chen didn't give any face.
Everyone was angry, but at this time, Lin Jianlin came out with the dishes and said with a smile: "Okay, stop arguing, let's eat!"
"Dad, look at what Lin Chen said, he doesn't know how to respect elders at all!"
The uncle still refused to give up.
"Lin Chen is a child, why do you care so much about eating, forget about other things!"
Lin Jianlin was an honest man and doted on his children. He didn't complain about his uncle, but he didn't blame Lin Chen either!
The uncle and others all sat down with grim faces. The family gathered around the dining table and began to eat. They talked in twos and threes, but most of them were talking around Lin Ye. On the contrary, Lin Chen was isolated and was out of tune with them!
"Dad, you think it's time to deal with the matter of the ancestral house. Someone from the Renjiangqi Group is here. As long as we sell the land of the ancestral house, they can give us two million!"
After pouring a glass of wine for Lin Jianlin, the uncle suddenly laughed.
In fact, they separated their families very early. The four brothers and sisters all have their own land and houses. However, the land of the uncle and the second aunt has been sold. Now they are setting their sights on the ancestral house, hoping to get more money.
!
"Brother, it's none of your business to own dad's ancestral home. It's up to him to decide whether to sell it or not!" Sister-in-law Lin Yi frowned.
"Little sister, it's hard to sell that shabby place for two million. This is because I have some connections. Let's talk with them again. They should be willing to pay three million. By then our family
Isn't it good for people to share their money?" The uncle continued to persuade.
When she heard about the money sharing, the second aunt's eyes also lit up: "It's just a broken house, three million is a lot, every household can get a lot of money!"
The Lin family can be considered a large clan. There are records in the genealogy. The first generation ancestors served as officials. After they were disarmed and returned to the fields, their descendants became prosperous, so there are many collateral and direct lines!
If it's three million, each household can get hundreds of thousands. Who wouldn't be happy?
When the uncle saw that everyone was excited, he sneered secretly. In fact, the price Changqi Group gave him was 10 million!
"no!"
Lin Jianlin flatly refused: "This ancestral house is the Xinglin Hall passed down from our ancestors. It has saved lives and healed the wounded. It is famous in the village. It is also the ancestor's medicine shop. It is full of things left by our ancestors and cannot be sold at all!"
"Dad, it's good that the ancestral home is Xinglintang, but you can move it. And now everyone in the family has agreed to sell it. All it takes is your consent. Why are you going against everyone!" the uncle said anxiously.
"Anyway, if you don't sell it, you won't sell it. This point cannot be compromised!"
Lin Jianlin couldn't convince his uncle, so he simply insisted that although he was an honest man, even nine cows couldn't pull him back if he was determined to do something!
“What an antique!”
The uncle and the second aunt looked at each other, and their hearts were full of anger. Even if their father was suffering himself, he wanted them to suffer too!
"Dad, Third Grandpa has also agreed to this, and everyone in the clan has also agreed, but you are not the only one who has the final say. Tomorrow, Third Grandpa will let all of us in the Lin family gather at the ancestral home to worship our ancestors!" The uncle suddenly said,
