After hearing this, all the young people reacted one after another.
“Dad, so they took advantage of grandma’s funeral to deliberately stir up a group of people to have a feast, right?
Strive for a little more psychological balance?”
"Yes! There are also all kinds of water and drinks, including paper towels.
We almost buy a large car a day and there is not enough for every day.
It turns out that he was unbalanced and deliberately embarrassed us!"
Cheng Tianyuan frowned and shook his head: "Don't think so, they are just dissatisfied."
"dad!"
Xue Yang said harshly: "That's because you are too honest.
Over the years, you and my mother have spent less than tens of millions on various charities in the village, but there must be 20 to 30 million, right?
These are not money! The nursing home, kindergarten, and various village roads in the village—which one does not have our family’s money?
We bought our own land and rented our own land, we did not steal it! No one has seen the good things we have done for the village, and they will only be jealous of our family for making a lot of money!"
"that is!"
Cheng Huanran echoed: "You try your best to please them, but they may not accept it.
If you let them eat and take whatever they want, they will still feel unbalanced, jealous and disrespectful of you!"
Xue Xin pouted and muttered: "Yeah! I also don't like their attitude towards my parents - it's as if our family owes them!"
"Everyone shut up!"
Xue Ling frowned and glared at them, and said solemnly: "Don't rush to interrupt, let your father finish his explanation first!"
Cheng Tianyuan sighed helplessly: "Over the years, your grandma has repeatedly said that she wants to go back to her hometown, but I have always found excuses to stop her.
I am a native here, and I don’t really want to come back, let alone you young people who have only been here for a few days.
But after all, we have used so many resources in the village, so there must be gains and losses.
I don't care what you think in your heart, you still have to respect those who deserve respect.
No matter what they say or do, try your best to endure it.
It’s only a few days, what can’t be tolerated?”
Several young people were silent.
After a while, Xue Yang, who has always been bold, whispered in a low voice: "Dad, if we are asked to endure it... it's not that we can't endure it, it's only for a few days at most, right?
Just, can you just tolerate it?
If it works if you tolerate it, then that's easy to say.
What scares us the most is that if we endure it, others will still hold on to us!"
Cheng Huanran was the calmest, thinking for a moment before speaking.
"Dad, now that we have discovered the source of the problem, we have to find a way to solve the problem.
Your blind avoidance will only make them feel that you are guilty and guilty.
But part of the land was dug out by my great-grandfather, part of it was bought by my grandfather, and the rest was bought by my mother with real money.
These are the legitimate income of our family, obtained through legal procedures and legal means, and there is no need for us to tolerate it again and again."
Cheng Huanchong nodded lightly: "Dad, I agree with my elder brother's point of view.
Once you find a problem, you should solve it instead of just enduring it."
"How to deal with it?"
Cheng Tianyuan asked funnyly: "They are jealous that our family occupies so much land resources in the village. Unless our family spits out some, how can we solve it?"
Everyone fell silent.
Although Chen Xinzhi is a member of his own family, he is still the son-in-law and cannot interfere with the whereabouts of the family's assets. He can only give them a few reminders.
"Dad asked us to endure it for a few days, and we have endured it.
The funeral was held and grandma was buried smoothly.
We can go back tomorrow, no more than ten hours, right?"
Cheng Huanran smiled bitterly: "We don't care, but our dad feels uncomfortable in his heart!"
"Mom, let me ask you something!"
Xue Yang raised his eyebrows and asked: "Has the land here been allocated to us?
There hasn’t been any transfer of ownership or anything, right?”
Xue Ling thought for a while and replied: "The buildings in the county have been transferred to you, but the land here is not.
The twenty acres in front of our villa belong to my grandparents, and the rent has always been allocated to your grandma.
The ones my great-great-grandfather owns are not that big. They have been rented out to others as small warehouses for several years, and your dad collects the rent.
I bought a lot of land, which is right next to the township road at the entrance of the village, and rented it to people as factory buildings. The rent increased every few years according to the market situation, and now I can earn tens of millions of dollars a year."
"Originally, your mother said that she wanted to transfer the ownership and divide it among you."
Cheng Tianyuan explained: “It happened that the village committee was changing its term at that time, and there was no one in the village to take care of it.
Later, we got busy and turned around and forgot about it.”
Xue Ling lowered his voice: "There is another reason - none of your household registrations are in Chengjia Village, so it is very laborious and troublesome to get it done, so this matter has been delayed again and again, and it has not been completed so far."
"If the registered permanent residence is not there, can't it be transferred to us?"
Cheng Huanran asked.
Cheng Tianyuan replied: “At that time, it was said that there were some troubles with the procedure.
For specific instructions on how to transfer the ownership, you have to find a professional lawyer and consult with the village committee here.
Different places have different laws and regulations."
Xue Yang muttered depressedly: "I think we might as well sell some."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at him one after another.
Xue Yang was a little embarrassed and hesitated: "If they are stuck in the transfer of ownership, it will leave a lot of trouble in the future. We will not be able to run here every day when we are far away in the imperial capital, right?"
Everyone fell silent.
Cheng Tianyuan was the person who knew the inside story best and sighed quietly.
“Remember that 80-year-old man you have to call ‘uncle’?
The day before yesterday, he said in a complaining tone, I have made a fortune myself, so I cannot forget my roots and have to take care of my hometown.
No matter how much our family does, it is still far from enough in their eyes.”
Xue Ling laughed dumbly: "It's not just happening here, it's the same in the imperial capital.
You also know the faces of the relatives of my old Xue family to some extent.
Your grandpa was the best in the past, but I later took over and made the family business bigger and stronger.
Even though our family contributed money to build an ancestral hall and roads, there are still many people who like to make sour jokes about our family during the Chinese New Year."
"Then leave them alone!"
Cheng Huanchong hummed: "Anyway, we have a clear conscience. We don't break the law or violate morals and customs. No matter what they think!"
Xue Xin nodded hurriedly: "That's right! Leave them alone! They have thousands of people and thousands of ideas, we can't control them.
Have we eaten their rice and drank their water?
Your control is really lenient! If other people want to be upset, just let them be upset as much as possible!"
Cheng Tianyuan chuckled after hearing this: "Isn't it always like this?"
Everyone laughed softly.
Xue Ling squinted his eyes and looked at the drizzle outside the cave.
"I have had an idea in the past two days. I originally wanted to discuss it with your dad first and then tell you.
It's rare for everyone to be together today, so why don't I tell you first and let you all listen.
If you want to make comments after listening, you can do so, and if you want to object, feel free to post them."
