Chapter 226 The tip of the iceberg
Recently, Chen's father and Chen Mu also decided to give the company a holiday. When they saw their twenty or thirty grandchildren, each of them was so smart and talented, the two elders felt that their lives were full of satisfaction.
In the Chen family, which originally had few offspring, it was really unexpected that Chen Mu could bring so many spouses and grandchildren to the family.
Chen Zhixing raised his glass to his son Chen Mu and said, "Son, although it is difficult for a father to admit it, you have indeed surpassed me.
Not only have you brought many outstanding daughters-in-law to our family, but you have also brought so many outstanding grandchildren.
Even if I die now, I can rest in peace.
Come, Dad will give you a toast."
"Dad, what are you talking about? My son has surpassed me, which means our family will become more and more prosperous. Isn't this something to be happy about? You are still in good health. With me here, you can live to 150, if not 200 years old."
Chen Mu replied with a smile.
"Ha, if you live 200 years, doesn't that make you an old monster?"
Chen Zhixing laughed out loud.
Thanks to some health care medicines and tonics that Chen Mu prepared for him, although he was over sixty years old, he looked only forty years old.
Many friends are envious of this.
Moreover, even if Chen Mu didn't say much, Chen Zhixing knew that his son was extraordinary.
He is in his forties, but still looks like he is in his twenties.
If it weren't for his majestic temperament, outsiders would really think he was a young man who had never experienced the world.
Chen Mu is his son, and his son is excellent. Nothing else matters.
These are all my own blood.
Nowadays, the Chen family is gradually showing signs of becoming a prominent family.
As long as the children grow up, they will definitely be successful people.
This is enough to prove the excellence of our bloodline.
After the New Year, Chen Mu, He Yushui and their two children returned to Courtyard No. 95.
Upon learning that He Daqing had returned, Chen Mu decided to visit his father-in-law.
He Xiao and He Pan also returned to Beijing after graduating from university. They originally planned to start a business, but after some investigation by Chen Mu, he found that they had indeed learned a lot of knowledge in college.
Therefore, it was decided to let them intern at a subsidiary of the Chen Group first, so that they can accumulate valuable experience whether they work or start a business in the future.
After arriving at Yard 95, Chen Mu felt that the atmosphere in the yard was not right.
Yan Bugui was not watering the flowers at the door as usual, but instead heard a noisy sound coming from the middle courtyard.
"This house has been mortgaged to us by your son Bang Geng. We are here to take it back."
A few people who looked like hooligans came to the door.
The two hostesses of the Jia family waved brooms and blocked the door. The neighbors around gathered around to watch. Sha Zhu's family just watched and did not come forward to help.
Chen Mu's family approached and He Yushui asked about the situation.
"Look, Bang Geng used the property certificate to get a loan for his business, but he ended up getting cheated.
Now the debt collectors have come to our house to take it away.”
Sha Zhu explained.
"Let's go inside and stop interfering in other people's affairs."
Chen Mu said.
When Sha Zhu saw the two little guys, he said happily, "Oh, these two little guys have grown so big. They are so delicate."
He Daqing was also very happy to see his daughter giving birth to so many children.
After not seeing each other for many years, the daughter remained the same. The father and daughter chatted for a while and resolved the knot in their hearts that had been knotting them for many years.
He Daqing started chatting with his grandchildren again.
He Daqing felt even more incredible when he learned that Chen Xuan and Chen Xi had achieved success in their careers.
Sha Zhu also felt that Chen Mu's children were well-educated. Even the two three-year-olds seemed exceptionally smart.
But his children are not inferior either. His eldest son, He Jianshe, has outstanding cooking skills and has become the head chef of a branch of Shuxianglou.
In the past few years, Shuxianglou has opened several branches in Beijing, and each of them is doing a booming business.
As we were chatting and laughing, the noise outside became louder and louder.
He Xiao ran out to take a look and found that the houses of Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong were also mortgaged. It turned out that they were involved in smuggling patterned steel with Li Huaide. They mortgaged their houses for investment, but Li Huaide absconded with the money.
Now it’s time to collect the house.
If they didn't have a house, they would have to pay off tens of thousands of debts. How could they come up with so much money now?
"They are so gullible that they can fall for such a simple scam."
He Xiao said.
"Fraud exploits the greed of human nature. As long as you don't go astray, others can't cheat you. It's better for them to move out, so that the yard can be quieter."
Chen Mu said.
Chen Mu had long wanted to clear these people out of the courtyard, but as he became stronger and his vision became bigger, these people were nothing more than a group of ants in his eyes, so he didn't bother with them.
"We'll give you three more days. If you don't move after three days, don't blame us for being rude."
He uttered some vicious words and then left.
At the Jia family, Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi Yi Zhonghai all looked unhappy, and Qin Huairu's face was full of tears.
"Lao Yi, what should we do now? Think of a solution quickly. Do you really want our whole family to move out?"
Qin Huairu cried.
"What can I do? That's 80,000 yuan. That guy mortgaged my house. Who can I complain to?"
Yi Zhonghai wished he could tear the stem of the stick apart.
In fact, he has a small house outside that has never been occupied. That is where he stores his gold bars.
Of course, he would not move there unless he had to, because that was his ultimate trump card. He knew that Qin Huairu must have money, but she just didn't take it out. Over the years, Qin Huairu always tried to get money from him and saved a lot of money.
Even though he took away several thousand dollars from Qin Huairu, Qin Huairu did not make a big deal about it, which shows that she still has some family background.
"Lao Yi, I know you have money, so just buy the property certificate back, otherwise our family will really have to sleep on the street."
Qin Huairu said.
"I don't have any money, but you do, Qin Huairu. Do you think I don't know that you and Jia Zhang must have hidden a lot of money? If you don't take it out now, what are you waiting for?"
Yi Zhonghai retorted.
"No, my money is for my grandson to marry."
Jia Zhang said: "By the way, Sha Zhu is so rich, let Sha Zhu pay for it."
Qin Huairu was also somewhat moved when she heard this, but she added: "What is our relationship with Sha Zhu now? How could he pay to redeem our house?"
"You won't go to Shazhu? You used to be quite capable, right? Otherwise, just kneel down in front of him. I don't believe that Shazhu won't be soft-hearted."
Jia Zhang suggested.
"I think what my sister-in-law said is right, Huairu, why don't you go and ask Sha Zhu for help? Anyway, he is the chef of a big restaurant now, so he doesn't need this little money."
Yi Zhonghai echoed.
The Jia family was planning this, and the Yan family was also planning the same thing. Yan Bugui wanted to borrow money from Yan Jiecheng, but no one knew where Yan Jiecheng and his wife had gone. They must have been hiding on purpose after finding out about what happened.
So he thought of Sha Zhu, the richest man in the yard. Although Xu Damao's family was also rich, Xu Damao would definitely not lend him money.
He thinks Shazhu is more likely to be soft-hearted.
Although Liu Haizhong was unwilling, he finally thought of asking Sha Zhu for help.
So, the three families came to the door of Sha Zhu's house at the same time.
When Chen Mu's family and Sha Zhu's family were enjoying dinner with laughter, a man suddenly broke in from outside the door without even knocking.
Seeing the Jia family, the Liu family, and the Yan family coming together, Sha Zhu couldn't help but frowned, "I say, what do you mean by this? Such a big scene."
"Silly Zhu, I'm kneeling down in front of you, please help our family."
Qin Huairu suddenly knelt in front of Sha Zhu.
Sha Zhu has been captured by Chen Mu and is no longer tempted by Qin Huairu's self-torture.
Qin Huairu is over fifty years old and no longer looks the same as she did in the past. Her behavior at this moment only makes people feel uncomfortable.
"Qin Huairu, what are you doing? You came to my house and knelt down. If you have nothing to do, please get out and don't disturb us while we're eating."
Sha Zhu said impatiently.
"Shazhu, please help my sister. My family's house was stolen and now someone wants it back. I'm really at my wits' end."
Qin Huairu started crying again.
"Yes, Shazhu, we are all from the same courtyard. You are the owner of the restaurant now. You are so rich, so help everyone. Just think of it as us borrowing money from you, and pay it back as soon as you have money."
Yan Bugui also said this.
"Yes, Shazhu, you are not short of money now, so just help us."
Aunt Er also joined the request.
Liu Haizhong was too embarrassed to speak, so he asked Aunt Er to help speak.
"I think I understand."
At this time, He Yushui said, "You were deceived because of your greed, and now you want my brother to pay you to solve the problem? You have a good plan."
"Yushui, things are not what you think. Sister really is..."
"Qin Huairu, our family has nothing to do with you, so don't call me sister in front of me.
Don’t even look at your own situation.”
He Yushui glanced at Qin Huairu impatiently, then said to Sha Zhu: "Brother, you decide for yourself."
Sha Zhu's face darkened and he said decisively, "Get out of here. Our family's money didn't come from the wind."
"Silly Zhu, please be kind and don't be so heartless."
Qin Huairu begged.
"Silly Zhu, you are such a heartless guy, why don't you help our family?"
Jia Zhang cursed angrily.
"That's right, Shazhu, you are so heartless. We have lived in the same courtyard for these years, and I have helped you a lot."
Yi Zhonghai made up an excuse.
"enough!"
Li Chunhua said angrily: "What have you done to help our family? You only think about taking advantage of us all day long. You deserve to be cheated. Get out now."
As she spoke, Li Chunhua grabbed a broom and started to drive them away.
After being driven out, Jia Zhang cursed loudly outside.
"Silly Zhu, you have no conscience at all. I curse you."
Jia Zhang continued to curse.
Chen Mu watched all this coldly, and the children were also filled with anger.
"Dad, I didn't quite believe how bad the people in this courtyard were when you said they were bad, but today I finally saw it."
Chen Xuan said dissatisfiedly.
Chen Mu smiled and replied: "What you saw today is just the tip of the iceberg. The bottom line of these people is far lower than you think."
The children found it incredible.
Even Chen Xi, who has traveled a lot and has seen a lot, has never seen such a shameless person.
