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

"Dad, come here quickly!"

Little Rongguo stood in the courtyard, hopping around and begging his father, Chen Zaixing, to come over. The two of them were too small and weak to move the big bag of chocolates, so they had to offer it as a gift and call Chen Zaixing over to help.

"What is this?" Chen Zaixing walked over with a cigarette in his mouth, rolled up his sleeves and picked up the bag. It was covered in English characters, which Chen Zaixing couldn't understand.

"Father, I asked Uncle Dong to buy this for you, is that alright..."

Before Xiao Rongguo could finish speaking, Xiao Chenhui covered his mouth and chuckled, "Fifth Uncle, hurry up and open it, see if you like the gift your little brother gave you!"

"Son, your trip to America wasn't in vain. You even bought a gift for your dad. Alright, let me see what my silly son bought for me," Chen Zaixing said, then squatted down and began to unwrap the gift.

"chocolate!"

Chen Zaixing was speechless. He thought that such a big package, even if it wasn't anything valuable, would at least be a suit or something, which he could wear out and show off, telling others, "Look, this is what my son brought back for me from America. He's so young and already knows how to be filial to his father."

But when he opened it, it was full of chocolates and all sorts of candies. He really overestimated his silly son!

"Hehe! Daddy, do you like it?"

"Fifth Uncle, my brother and I carefully selected these at the supermarket!"

Xiao Chenhui and Xiao Rongguo stood side by side with their hands behind their backs in front of Chen Zaixing, who was squatting down, with smiles on their faces. Xiao Chenhui had made a promise to his younger brother Rongguo, and he was sure that their fifth uncle would say, "I don't like chocolate. Never mind, you can have it."

But to everyone's surprise, Chen Zaixing did not play by the rules at all. He simply picked up the whole bag of chocolates and left. Xiao Rongguo was dumbfounded and hurriedly asked his "strategist" brother Ronghui.

"elder brother?"

Xiao Chenhui was dumbfounded. Wait a minute, don't adults dislike chocolate? If they don't like it, shouldn't they give it to the children? Why didn't Uncle Wu even ask them if they wanted some before taking it away?

"Ah! Fifth Uncle, don't you like it?" Little Chen Hui chased after him, asking as he ran, "Fifth Uncle, if you don't like it, I'll eat it for you!"

"Yes, Dad, let me eat it for you! I can eat chocolate!"

Chen Zaixing grinned mischievously as he looked down at the two little rascals brimming with wicked ideas. "Who says I don't like chocolate? I love it! I'll take it back to my room tonight and eat it all night long. I'll finish it by tomorrow!"

"Wow! No!"

Xiao Rongguo immediately squatted down and hugged his father Chen Zaixing's leg, crying his heart out, "Dad, you can't like eating chocolate, you can't!"

"Little brother, don't be fooled by your fifth uncle. He won't finish eating it all in one night, or he'll lose all his teeth," Little Chen Hui, being a year older than him, had already seen through it and wouldn't be fooled by his fifth uncle's words.

Chen Xiangui couldn't stand it anymore. He walked over with a smile, picked up his grandson, patted his bottom and scolded him with a laugh, "You little rascal, this is clearly a gift you gave to your father. Your father likes it, but you're not happy about it."

"Grandpa, Dad can't like chocolate," Xiao Rongguo said, nestled in his grandfather's arms, but his words caused everyone in the hall to burst into laughter.

At the Liu family's house in Shangzhai Village, they were having dinner. Compared to the older sister and younger brother at the Chen family's house, who were enjoying a feast and laughing, Liu Shaozhong was quietly eating a small bowl of rice with a side dish of stir-fried pork with pickled vegetables. However, the pork had been picked out on the first day, and this dish of pickled vegetables was being cooked for the third time.

There was also a plate of boiled cabbage and a bowl of tofu and egg soup. The four adults in the Liu family ate quickly, while Liu Shaozhong ate slowly, lost in thought. Today, someone came to the house and said that his mother, Chen Lianxiang, had returned from America.

Since Liu Shaoqun returned last time, Liu Lishi's attitude towards him has changed drastically. She has also restrained her temper and no longer beats or scolds Liu Shaozhong at the drop of a hat.

Especially after hearing that her grandson's fourth and fifth uncles had opened a supermarket in the county town, Liu Lishi changed her attitude and began to fawn over her eldest grandson, Liu Shaozhong.

Yes, it was all about currying favor. It wasn't just Liu Li Shi; Liu Shao Zhong's second uncle Liu Guo Liang and second aunt He Gui Qin, as well as his aunt Liu Jia Shui and uncle Fang Song Mao, were all intentionally or unintentionally trying to curry favor with Liu Shao Zhong.

Liu Lishi also frequently urged Liu Shaozhong to speak well of his uncle and persuade him to retract his previous statement so that his mother and father would not divorce.

"Shaozhong, listen to your grandma. If your mother divorces your father, she will remarry and won't want you anymore. Your rich uncles won't want you either!"

Liu Li kept whispering these words in Liu Shaozhong's ear, making him feel awkward. Liu Li only regretted that there was no medicine for regret in the world!

If she knew that her eldest daughter-in-law's family had such a wealthy overseas relative returning, she would treat this eldest daughter-in-law like an ancestor, even if it meant her death.

Look at this, it's only been a little over a year, and the Chen family has opened factories and supermarkets. They're living a very prosperous life. There are two cars parked in front of the Chen family's old house. One is driven by Chen Zaiguang, and the other is driven by Chen Zailong and Chen Zaixing to the county town.

Even her "good" eldest daughter-in-law, Chen Lianxiang, went to America for a year, supposedly to recuperate. Now, the Liu family in Shangzhai Village is being ridiculed behind their backs.

They said that Liu Li was mean-spirited, unlucky, and had no one to rely on. She even gave away the wealth she had in her hands. Liu Li even heard that someone was planning to go to the Chen family in Lianzhai to propose marriage after her son divorced Chen Lianxiang.

What's wrong with having three kids after a second marriage? As long as you marry Chen Lianxiang and have the Chen family as your maternal family, even if you get married three or four times, there will be plenty of people vying to marry you!

Besides, Chen Lianxiang is beautiful and only in her early thirties, the prime of her life. Many people are hoping to climb the social ladder by marrying into the Chen family. The Liu family may be foolish, but others are not!

At noon, Liu Li heard that Chen Lianxiang had returned, so she planned to take her son Liu Guomin to Lianzhai to apologize to Chen Lianxiang, hoping to win back her "good" daughter-in-law's heart from her Liu family.

But her eldest son, Liu Guomin, who always listened to her, refused to go no matter what. His younger brother, Liu Guoliang, tried to persuade him, and his sister, Liu Jiashui, and brother-in-law, Fang Songmao, tried everything to talk to him, but Liu Guomin just said one thing: he wouldn't go!

"You can go yourselves if you want, I can't afford to lose face like this!"

Liu Li was furious. She was furious that her eldest son, who usually listened to her every word, had become so angry after his fight with Chen Zaiguang at the Chen family home. His personality had changed drastically.

Liu Lishi knew that her son didn't want to divorce Chen Lianxiang because he had been too harsh on her in the past.
