Returning wealthy individuals develop their hometowns and become rich in the 1980s

"Stop throwing tantrums all the time, what kind of talk is that!"

After Chen Xiangui finished speaking, he looked at his three sons who had poked their heads out, "Did you all hear that? The meeting is tomorrow at seven o'clock sharp!"

"Now, all of you go back to sleep. If you keep making noise and wake your grandma, you'll see what I do to you!"

Chen Xiangui tugged at the coat he was wearing, shook his head, and went back to his room. Chen Zaisheng and the others also closed the door, out of sight, out of mind.

Chen Zaiguang sighed, went into the room, closed the door again, and walked over to his wife, who was sitting with her arms crossed, sulking. He said, "Look at you, what's the rush? Now look what's happened, even your father is angry!"

"Oh, so it's all my fault?"

"I'm starting to doubt if you were even born of your mother. Why doesn't your father help you and mediate between your brothers?" Lin Ruiqing said with a sour face, pushing aside Chen Zaiguang who had sat down next to him. "You're not in a hurry? Fine, you can be a cook for the rest of your life. Wait until your other brothers all make it big, then we'll see if they'll even treat you like a human being!"

Chen Zaiguang sighed, remaining silent after Lin Ruiqing's words. Lin Ruiqing continued her tirade, "Look at your three brothers. Do they really treat you like a brother? The family hasn't even separated yet, and they already don't consider you one of their own. What will you expect from them after the separation?"

"I've got another way, I'll reserve one for you, just you wait, you won't get a single cent!"

"Then what do you suggest we do?"

"What are we going to do? Are you even a man? You're asking me, you figure it out yourself!"

"Then let's separate the family. Since you've said that about my brothers, let's separate the family and move out," Chen Zaiguang said angrily, his temper rising after being scolded.

"Why should we have to move out? It's not like we don't have a share in this ancestral home!"

Enraged, Chen Zaiguang climbed into bed without even taking off his clothes and went straight to sleep. Seeing this, Lin Ruiqing angrily threw a pillow stuffed with bran at Chen Zaiguang, yelling, "Useless man!"

Inside Chen Zaisheng's room, Gu Ying was coaxing her youngest daughter, Chen Huilin, who had just been woken up, and asked her husband, "What happened to Uncle San?"

"What else could it be? She's clamoring to reinvest in the supermarket," Chen Zaisheng said, wiping his feet as he climbed into bed, carefully avoiding his youngest daughter.

"I wonder if those brats next door have been woken up yet. They're probably still playing around there. I hope they don't wake up the old lady."

The Chen family ancestral home has four large rooms and two small rooms. Each of the four sons has a room in the four large rooms, while Chen Xiangui and his wife, along with their grandchildren, live in the small rooms. The small room where the children sleep is separated from the room where the elderly Mrs. Wei Shufen sleeps.

After saying that, Chen Zaisheng got up, opened the door to go and take a look. As he walked out, he met Chen Zailong, who had also come out. The two of them went to the small room, and sure enough, those mischievous monkeys were rolling around on the bed, not staying still. When they saw Chen Zaisheng and Chen Zailong come in, they immediately lay down on the spot and dared not be naughty anymore.

"You two better go to sleep quietly, Rongwen and Rongwu. If I hear you making noise again, I'll beat you tomorrow," Chen Zailong glared at his two sons who were still wide awake. After saying that, he went over to Grandma Wei Shufen and found that his nieces were all sleeping peacefully, but the old lady had been woken up by the noise.

"Zailong, what's wrong? Why are you making such a racket in the middle of the night?" Old Mrs. Wei Shufen was lying in bed. She was a light sleeper and could be woken up by the slightest noise. When she saw Chen Zailong come in, she asked in a low voice.

"Grandma, it's alright, you should go to sleep. I'm going out now."

"Um!"

The two went outside, and Chen Zaisheng stopped and asked Chen Zailong, "Fourth brother, what do you think about the third brother's matter?"

Chen Zailong lit a cigarette, sighed, and whispered, "We can't give it to them, or the family will be in chaos, and the old lady will be the first to suffer!"

"Then tell me, why can't we give it to them?"

"If none of us brothers were married yet, and the third brother came over and said he wanted to reinvest, we could have just talked it out and let it go. But we're all married now, and even small things can cause these sisters-in-law to argue."

"This involves a major issue of shares. The third brother and his group initially refused them, but now they've changed their minds and want them back. If we give them to them, their wives will definitely cause a huge uproar," Chen Zailong exhaled smoke. "This family will really have to fall apart!"

"If we upset the old lady, she'll get really angry. She's so old; we can't afford to make her angry!"

Chen Zailong didn't say one more thing, which was about Chen Dong's side. Although Chen Dong wasn't involved in the supermarket, in fact, everything was inseparable from Chen Dong's help. If the old lady really got angry, who knows what Chen Dong would think of the brothers!

"I think the third son's wife is determined to reinvest. She's seeing the supermarket's success and won't give up easily," Chen Zaisheng said in a deep voice. "What are you planning to do then?"

"What else can we do? They made their own choice. We didn't force them to invest. To put it bluntly, Second Brother, if they really lose money, will Third Brother choose to invest again?"

"Really? I don't think so!"

Chen Zaisheng laughed and patted Chen Zailong on the shoulder, "Alright, go back to sleep. Don't think too much. We'll talk about tomorrow tomorrow."

"Alright, Second Brother, you should go to bed early and take care of yourself!"

"good!"

Chen Zailong returned to his room. Ma Jiao, lying on the bed, leaned over and asked, "How are you? Are Rongwen and the others asleep? Did they disturb the old lady?"

"Go to sleep. The old lady is a light sleeper. I went over to tell her it was okay and didn't make her get up," Chen Zailong said, taking off his clothes and lying down on the bed. "Go to sleep, we have things to do tomorrow."

"What trouble is the third wife causing?" Ma Jiao asked Chen Zailong as she turned over, still being held by him.

"Regarding the supermarket's shares, I plan to reinvest them."

Upon hearing this, Ma Jiao sat up. "You didn't agree, did you?"

"Do you think your man is stupid? Or do you think your brother-in-law is stupid?"

Ma Jiao smiled charmingly and lay back down. "That's true. Even if you, such a kind old man, were willing, my uncle and his wife wouldn't agree!"

Ma Jiao knew her fifth sister-in-law, Wu Fangru, was even more difficult to deal with than Lin Ruiqing from the third branch of the family. Moreover, unlike Lin Ruiqing, Wu Fangru didn't openly plot and didn't try to hide anything, treating the other four sisters-in-law like fools.

Wu Fangru not only pleases her in-laws but also gets along well with her sisters-in-law, managing to get benefits into her own family with a smile.

Wu Fangru knew that in this family, the old lady's word was law. If she pleased the old lady, her in-laws would have nothing to say. In addition, Chen Zaixing was the youngest son, so the mother-in-law would naturally be a little biased. As a result, she, the youngest daughter-in-law, was also favored by her mother-in-law.

As for the third branch, they were stuck in the middle, neither above nor below. The eldest branch was favored by the old lady, the second branch was not competitive, the fourth branch was favored by the father-in-law, and the fifth branch was favored by the mother-in-law. Lin Ruiqing felt that if they didn't scheme, none of the benefits would fall into the hands of the third branch.

"Go to sleep, don't think so much!"
