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

Huang Zhili stared blankly at the departing Zhao Yebai for a moment, then looked at his trousers covered in mud with frustration. He gritted his teeth and hurriedly ran home to change his trousers so he could go to his aunt's house to see how the family division would be handled.

From afar, Zeng Xia saw her brother-in-law, Chen Zaixing, leading someone towards the old house. Chen Lianxiang, in the passenger seat, with sharp eyes, immediately recognized him from behind as her maternal uncle, Huang Tairen. Chen Lianxiang rolled down the window and leaned out, calling out, "Uncle!"

Chen Zaixing and Huang Tairen turned around and looked behind them. Huang Tairen grinned, revealing a set of yellow teeth from years of drinking tea and smoking. "Hey, Ah Xiang, you've even driven a car now."

Zeng Xia parked her car behind Chen Dong's Maybach, opened the door, got out, and called out "Uncle." Huang Tairen smiled and nodded, "Xia, you can drive now."

"Uncle, this car is easy to drive. Just step on the gas and it's off," Zeng Xia said with a smile, holding her handbag as she stood by the car. Huang Tairen looked into the car and asked, "Can you start this car by yourself?"

"Hahaha!"

Chen Zaixing laughed so hard he almost lost his balance. "Uncle, this isn't a tractor. You can start it by just turning the key. Why would you need a crank?"

"Well, it's because I'm a farmer and I don't know anything about machinery. I'm sorry you all laughed at me, hahaha!" Huang Tairen realized he had said the wrong thing and quickly laughed to cover up his embarrassment.

"What's so funny, Uncle? When your nephew makes a lot of money, I'll give you one so you can drive it around and seduce all the old ladies in the village," Chen Zaixing chuckled.

"You little rascal, you're still as unreliable as ever," Huang Tairen said, reaching out to hit Chen Zaixing. Zeng Xia and Chen Lianxiang were amused and giggled.

The four of them chatted and laughed as they entered the old house. Chen Dong and Chen Zaiguang had already arrived. When they saw Huang Tairen come in, Chen Zaiguang got up, took out a pack of Huazi cigarettes, and offered him one, saying, "Uncle, you're here. Have a smoke."

"Okay, okay," Huang Tairen said casually, and Chen Xiangui, who was sitting on the sofa, smiled and nodded in greeting, "Tairen's here, please sit down and have some tea."

Huang Tairen sat down with a smile and nodded to Secretary Tian Chulian, who was sitting opposite him. Huang Lanzhi, hearing that her younger brother had arrived, came out of the kitchen with a plate of sliced ​​fruit. "Tairen's here. Come, come, have some fruit."

"Sister, don't be so polite. It's not like this is my first time visiting your home. You're making me feel a little embarrassed," Huang Tairen said, waving his hand to indicate that he would get the apples himself if he wanted to eat. Huang Lanzhi then put the apples she was holding back into the fruit plate, and Xiao Rongguo, who had been looking for an opportunity, immediately snatched them away.

"Uncle isn't eating, so I'll try it for him first," Xiao Rongguo said with a grin after taking a bite, his eyes narrowed. "So sweet!"

"You little rascal, you're always involved in that!" Chen Zaixing slapped Rongguo's chubby bottom. Rongguo grabbed another piece with his other hand and ran to his older brother Chen Hui, babbling excitedly, "Brother, you eat this, it's so sweet!"

Xiao Rongguo was busy showing off to his older brother, Xiao Chenhui, and his apple, which was still half-eaten, was snatched away by his older sister, Chen Huiqin. "Ah! My apple, big sister, I only took one bite!"

Chen Huiqin squinted, puffed out her cheeks, and took a bite of the apple, teasing Xiao Rongguo, "It's really sweet, Xiao Rongguo, go get another one for your older sister."

Xiao Rongguo, puffing out his cheeks, mustered his courage and ran to the fruit plate again. This time, he picked up an apple stuck on a toothpick, stuck out his tongue, and licked it all around like his fourth brother, Rongxiong. Then he ran up to Chen Huiqin, raised his hand, and said, "Big sister, eat up!"

"Ugh!" Chen Huiqin pouted in disgust, pinching Rongguo's chubby cheeks. "Rongguo, you've gone bad! You're not cute at all anymore!"

"No way! My mom Elena says I'm the cutest, hmph!"

Seeing that his older sister Chen Huiqin wasn't eating, Xiao Rongguo started taking small bites of the apple, shaking his head as he ate, while making excuses for himself, "Since you're not eating it, you can't say I didn't give you any, okay?"

"You little rascal!"

On the adults' side, when Grandma Wei Shufen heard that Huang Tairen had arrived, she came out of the house leaning on her cane and said with a smile, "His brother-in-law is here. Today, we'll have to trouble you, his uncle, to uphold justice, hehe!"

Upon hearing the old lady's words, Huang Tairen stood up and said with a smile, "Auntie, you're too kind. This is what I, as her uncle, should do. Please sit here with me."

"No need, no need. The head seat is for you, my brother-in-law. I'll sit next to you," said Grandma Wei Shufen with a smile as she sat down to Huang Tairen's right. She looked around at everyone and asked Chen Xiangui, "Eldest brother, is everyone here?"

"Everyone's here!"

Grandma Wei Shufen then looked at Chen Dong, "Dongzi, I insisted on dividing this family property today. It's not your uncle's fault. In a bit, you can help me think about it and see if my division is fair."

"Okay, Auntie," Chen Dong said with a smile, putting down the teacup in his hand.

Seeing that everyone was present, Old Madam Wei Shufen cleared her throat and addressed the crowd, "Today is a significant day for the division of the family property of the eldest son of the Chen family, a distinguished lineage. All five sons and daughters-in-law are here. We have invited your eldest uncle, Huang Tairen, to preside over this division of the family property for you five brothers. Do you have any objections?"

"No!"

"no comment!"

"..."

All ten sons and daughters-in-law answered the old lady's questions. As for why the maternal uncle had to preside over the division of the family property and how it should be divided, there were specific rules to follow.

It doesn't mean that Huang Tairen should come and distribute all of the Chen family's current wealth according to their needs. Instead, Chen Xiangui, as the head of the family, should present what should be distributed in front of the five brothers and write it down.

Then Huang Tairen, the eldest maternal uncle, divided the family property according to the circumstances of the five brothers. As the old saying goes in Tuocheng, when the maternal uncle divides the family property, any grievances must be acknowledged face to face!

This means that once the maternal uncle divides the family property, it is acknowledged in person, and even if you feel it is unfair afterward, you cannot go back on your word. The maternal uncle holds a very high position. In ancient times, there was a crime of disobedience. If parents went to the yamen to accuse their children of disobedience, the county magistrate would have someone investigate the truth of the matter.

But if a maternal uncle drags his nephew to the county magistrate to accuse him of disobedience, the magistrate won't even need to conduct a trial; he'll just give him a beating. If someone can force their maternal uncle to drag them to the county magistrate to accuse them, then they must be a morally corrupt scoundrel.

"Okay," said Grandma Wei Shufen to Tian Chulian, the street committee secretary, "Secretary Tian is here today too. After the family separates, the street committee will issue you certificates, and you will all be independent households!"

"Secretary Tian, ​​I'll have to trouble you again later."

"Auntie, this is what I should do, it's nothing," Tian Chulian replied with a smile and a nod.

"Alright, then let your father tell you about all the family's assets. Eldest son, you tell us. Zaisheng, you're a good writer, so you take notes."

"Okay, milk!"
