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

Since Chen Lianxiang openly brought Lin Qingsheng back to the Chen family's old house to meet her family, she and Lin Qingsheng have been inseparable at the old house for the next few days. Sometimes she even takes Liu Shaoling and her two siblings out to the city for fun.

Chen Zailong didn't lie to Liu Shaozhong; he really did find someone to teach him to swim. That person was Lin Qingsheng. After spending time with the three children, Lin Qingsheng's resistance to them had significantly decreased. Sometimes when Chen Lianxiang went to work at Angel Company and the children didn't have school on weekends, Lin Qingsheng would drive them out to play.

With so many people coming and going, even some in the village started talking about Chen Lianxiang and Lin Qingsheng. Everyone knew that Lin Qingsheng came from America and, like Chen Dong, was very rich.

Some people said that once Chen Lianxiang marries into the Liu family, she won't have to suffer like she did in the Liu family anymore. Others, feeling a bit sour, said that Lin Qingsheng didn't look like a rich man, and what rich man would marry a divorced woman with three children? He must be a liar.

"Are you stupid or are the Chen family stupid? Do you think they can't tell if they're really rich? I heard they spend thousands of dollars on gifts for Lianxiang's three children alone. How could they be scammers?"

"That's not necessarily true. Let's spend a little money first, and then scam the Chen family out of a bigger sum later!"

"Then lie to me too!"

"Get lost! I'm not a liar."

The news that Chen Lianxiang had brought Lin Qingsheng home had spread to Shangzhai. Those who had their eyes on Chen Lianxiang, this rich woman, were filled with lamentations, as their wealthy "wife" had been snatched away by someone else.

Liu Guoliang's mother-in-law, He Lüshi, arrived at her daughter's house early in the morning. Seeing that the Liu family was having breakfast, eating thin porridge with a dish of pickled vegetables, a small dish of fried peanuts, and a few pieces of preserved radish, she shook her head slightly, feeling sorry for her daughter, He Guiqin.

She initially thought that she could rely on her daughter's sister-in-law Chen Lianxiang to ensure her daughter, who had married into the Liu family, could live a good life, and also have her daughter help out her brothers. However, she never expected that her daughter's uncle, Liu Guomin, would divorce Chen Lianxiang.

Now, He Lushi finds Liu Lishi increasingly displeasing. She was truly blind to have listened to the matchmaker's foul mouth and married her daughter into the Liu family. Look at this shrew; in the time it takes to eat a bowl of porridge, she managed to scoop all the meager amount of fried peanuts from that small dish into her own bowl.

She eats everything without leaving a trace, has a sharp tongue, and is lazy. If Chen Lianxiang hadn't divorced Liu Guomin, He Lushi wouldn't have been so angry. Now that Chen Lianxiang has brought a man home, she's clearly planning to remarry, and Liu Guomin has no chance anymore.

At this moment, Liu Li saw He Lü enter through the door. She quickly shoveled the little thin porridge in her bowl, then picked up a spoon and ladled the remaining porridge into her own bowl, as if afraid that He Lü had come to beg for food. This made He Lü's lips twitch.

After doing all this, Liu Li pretended to have just seen He Lü enter the room, and with a smile, she held up her bowl and asked He Lü, "Oh! My dear in-law, you're here. Have you eaten? Let's have some together."

As she spoke, Liu Li picked up the pot and smiled at He Lü, saying, "You've come at an inopportune time; the porridge is just finished. Mother-in-law, wait here, I'll go wash the rice and cook you a new one."

Madam He rolled her eyes. Her daughter, He Guiqin, put down her bowl with disgust after hearing her mother-in-law's words, turned around and picked up her son who was playing on the ground. "Mother, did you come here for something?"

"I've come to see my grandson," said Madam He, taking the grandson from her daughter's arms. "You continue eating your porridge."

Liu Li was just being polite. After saying that, she didn't move at all. She sat down on the bamboo stool and swept the remaining salted vegetables into her bowl with one chopstick. He Guiqin was so angry when she saw this that she put away the bowl and chopsticks and turned to walk into the kitchen.

When Liu Guoliang saw that his wife was so angry with his mother that she wouldn't even eat her porridge, he complained to his mother, "Mom, why are you like this? Leave some for Guiqin. Besides, we didn't eat a single bite. You ate all the peanuts and pickled vegetables."

"What? Your mother raised you brothers with such hardship, and now I need your permission to eat a few peanuts and pickled vegetables?" Liu Li slammed her empty bowl down on the table. "You little beast, you've forgotten your mother now that you've married!"

"Mother, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I forget you after I got married? You always only care about yourself and eat your fill. When have my older brother, Guiqin, and I ever given in to you?" Liu Guoliang said angrily.

"Oh my god! This is outrageous! A son is cursing his own mother! He's worse than a pig or a dog! Everyone, please be the judge!"

Liu Lishi is a bully who bullies her own people. When Chen Lianxiang was around, she would make trouble for Chen Lianxiang. He Guiqin had Chen Lianxiang in front of the public to deal with Liu Lishi's troubles, so she didn't really have a deep understanding of this old hag's methods.

Now that Chen Lianxiang and Liu Guomin have divorced, Liu Lishi calmed down for a while and then started using the same tricks on He Guiqin again. However, He Lushi now knows Liu Lishi's nature and comes over every few days to keep her daughter in check, so Liu Lishi can't really throw a big tantrum.

As Liu Lishi was making a scene, Liu Jiashui and her husband Fang Songmao walked in. Seeing her mother causing such a commotion so early in the morning, Liu Jiashui said rudely, "Mother, keep making a scene. You'll know what it means to be happy when my second sister-in-law divorces my second brother just like my eldest sister-in-law!"

"Jiashui, what nonsense are you spouting?" Upon hearing her daughter's words, Liu Lishi was so frightened that she quickly stood up. She just wanted to make a fuss so that she could control her second daughter-in-law and make her take over all the housework.

Although He Guiqin still had to work with the villagers, Liu Lishi didn't want to help her, or rather, she was too lazy to move. It was already a favor Liu Lishi had to do to help her take care of her grandson.

Liu Guomin, having finished his congee with some preserved radish, stood up and looked at his brother-in-law, Fang Songmao. "Songmao, what brings you here so early today?"

Seeing his brother-in-law Liu Guomin's expression, Fang Songmao knew that he was unaware of the situation, so he whispered, "Brother-in-law, do you know that Chen Lianxiang brought a man named America back to the Chen family a few days ago, saying that she was going to get married? The whole village knows about it."

"What!" Before Liu Guomin could react, Liu Li's wife screamed, "That slut Chen Lianxiang, how dare she cheat on her husband! What a shameless whore!"

Ignoring Liu Li's cursing, Liu Guomin asked again, "Did you really bring it back?"

"Well, the people from Lianzhai said that Chen Lianxiang, along with Shaozhong and Shaoqun, went in and out of the Chen family home with that man, saying they were driving to the city to book a banquet. Brother-in-law, what do you think?" Fang Songmao stopped there.

Liu Guomin sighed, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and went into the kitchen. "We're divorced now. Who she brings home is none of my business!"
