Chapter 129: The Wang Family Sells Houses and Land to Develop on the Island
The Wang family was holding a funeral at the moment, and the debt collector from yesterday came to make trouble again.
Those people were so cruel that they even spared the old house near the Wang family's ancestral temple. Wang's paralyzed father was recuperating there. When he learned that his son had borrowed high-interest loans and could not repay them, and had to watch a group of people break into the Wang family's ancestral temple, he was so angry that he died.
When Dao Ge and his people saw that someone had died, they decided to give them another ten days to pay back the money.
Their words were meant to threaten them not to call the police, otherwise they would have to pay back the money now.
Only then did they realize that the poor man's life was only worth ten days of grace, not even a few thousand dollars.
While burning paper money, Wang Shengtian stared at the coffin with a cold and sharp gaze filled with strong hatred. He assured his mother, "Mom, don't worry, your son will definitely make a name for himself, bring down Buckingham, send them to jail, pay blood debt with blood, avenge dad, and let him rest in peace."
The Queen Mother lost her husband in middle age. She was extremely sad and fainted several times. She suddenly aged ten years. Her voice was hoarse, like the sound of a broken bellows. "You must do what you say, and don't just talk about it."
She felt that Wang Shengtian should bear most of the responsibility for her husband's death. If he hadn't borrowed high-interest loans and attracted people like you, the family wouldn't be in such a mess and his father wouldn't have died.
As she spoke, the Queen Mother slowly looked at her youngest son beside her, "Shenghua, Mom is tired, help Mom go back to her room to rest!"
"Yes, Mom!" Wang Shenghua helped his mother, who was trembling, up.
Wang Shengtian looked at his mother's back and said, "Mom, Mom, everything I said is true, you have to believe me."
At this time, Shen Lirong and Wang Shengmei happened to take the same bus back to Wang's house and saw the white cloth hanging at the door.
Wang Shengmei was a little panicked, "What's wrong? What happened? Who died?"
She shouted into the house: "Mom, Dad, Big Brother, Second Brother..."
Shen Lirong wished that all the members of the Wang family except Wang Shengtian would die. In his previous life, the Wang family was a stumbling block on Wang Shengtian's road to success, and they only held him back.
She pointed at the hunched back in the living room and said, "Shengmei, don't panic. Your eldest brother can go ask in the front hall and find out."
The Queen Mother, who had just entered the room, came out again when she heard her daughter's voice.
Wang Shengmei knew who had passed away. Her eyes were red and her voice was choked with sobs. "Mom, second brother, Dad..."
The Queen Mother asked, "You are back, why didn't your son-in-law come back with you?"
"He won't come. I'll tell you something later. Let me burn some incense for Dad first." Wang Shengmei walked towards the hall.
"Go!" The Queen Mother's cloudy and lifeless eyes fell on Shen Lirong again, "Didn't you run away with another man? Why did you come back? Our temple is small and can't accommodate a big Buddha like you."
"Mom, I'm pregnant with your grandson. I was so scared that day that I asked Brother Wenbin to take me back to my parents' home. I didn't intend to run away. Aren't I back to attend Dad's funeral? You can let Dad's grandson send him off for the last time, so that the old man can rest in peace."
The Shen family couldn't accommodate her, so she had nowhere to go and could only stay in the Wang family. There were two grown men in the family, and she was pregnant with the Wang family's grandson.
The Queen Mother stopped talking.
"I'll also go and burn some incense for Dad."
The Queen Mother kept vigil all night, but as she was too old to bear it, she asked her youngest son to help her go back to the room to rest.
……
In the evening, the family ate rice soup and wild vegetables.
Wang Shengmei told the reason why she came back.
Wang Shenghua's eyes widened. "They are trying to deceive me into marriage. I thought the guy named Qiao was an honest man."
"They will come looking for me soon and will not let me go. All the betrothal money was used for my father's funeral. What should I do if I can't pay them back?"
Wang Shengtian shared his plan, "My plan is to move to an island with my family. When I was studying, I had a roommate who came from an island. I will try to contact them to see if they can help arrange a place for us. Once we go there, they won't be able to find us."
The Queen Mother asked, "What are you going to do with the house and land?"
Wang Shengtian said his plan, "I plan to sell it."
The Queen Mother's face changed, she stared at him, her voice sharp and paranoid, "I don't agree. This house is the only thing your father left. When I die, I want to be buried here, next to your father. If the house and the land are gone, I might as well go with your father now."
Shen Lirong shouted frantically in her heart, Go, die quickly!
She raised her hands and feet in approval.
Wang Shengtian knew she would object, so he patiently advised her, "Mom, in this situation, we have to sell the house and live somewhere else. Otherwise, those people will come again. We don't have a dad anymore, and we can't lose you again. It's the same to start over somewhere else. When your son makes a lot of money in the future, he will buy the land back and build a villa for you in the village so that you can live a good life for the rest of your life."
Wang Shengmei said, "Mom, I support my eldest brother this time. If our family doesn't run away, the Qiao family will not let me go. That damn Qiao Weiming, he likes men and doesn't touch me, but he actually let his father have a child with me. It's disgusting."
My eldest brother said that she used all the betrothal money to pay for her funeral.
Shen Lirong remembered that the island in her previous life was later developed into a tourist attraction. She and Wang Shengtian had an affair, and they often spent time together at a seaside resort hotel. They also bought a big villa there.
She quickly said, "Mom, I agree too. The island is just temporarily backward. It will be developed into a tourist attraction in the future. There is more room for development. With Shengtian's business acumen, he will definitely make a lot of money."
Wang Shenghua also said, "Mom, I agree too. Those people threatened us to sell our house and land to pay back the money. If we don't sell them in advance and run away, we will not be able to save ourselves."
The Queen Mother returned to the house in silence, which was considered as her agreement.
Wang Shengtian went to find the village chief who had previously proposed to buy land from him overnight.
The house and all the land were sold for a total of 800 yuan. The next night, when no one was around, I packed my luggage and went to the dock, bought a ticket and took a boat to the island.
……
Shen Ye Ning's clothing store opened today, and all clothes in the store will be discounted by 88% in the first three days.
Following a burst of crisp and loud firecrackers, the door of the shop slowly opened. A large red banner was hung on the door, and two rows of bouquets were placed on both sides of the door.
The price of a piece of clothing is generally around 5 cents to 10 yuan, which is relatively affordable. There are special discounts for buying a whole set, such as buy 5 and get 1 free, buy 10 and get 3 free. The price of the free clothes is between 1 and 5 yuan.
The crowd watching included men, women, young and old.
Some were attracted by the store’s unique decoration style, some were curious about the wide range of clothing in the store, and some came simply to join in the fun.
Everyone was whispering and talking, making the whole scene very lively.
Shen Ye Ning and Ye Xiaojun were receiving guests in the store, and both were very busy.
Once the business picks up, we will need to hire more people to help.
Employees also need to be trained well. If a boss cannot train his employees and expects them to work until they die, this is not acceptable.
The clothes were cheap and in new styles, so everyone rushed to buy them and the place was soon packed with people.
There was a long line at the fitting room.
"I want to buy this floral dress. Do you have a larger size? This one is a little small and I can't wear it."
Ye Xiaojun said, "Yes, please wait and I will bring it to you."
At noon, Jiang Wang sent over two meals, "Comrades, please eat first."
Ye Xiaojun covered her rumbling stomach and said, "Wow! It's better to come at the right time than to come early. My stomach just happened to be growling."
Shen Ye Ning watched the two guests leave from the door. "Oh, the boss even delivered the meal himself. It seems that being your employee is very easy. How much is the meal?"
"It's free. It's just my way of thanking you for your hard work."
"What are you thanking me for? Didn't I ask you to help me with the proposal?"
"No, no, no, it's not that. I have good news to announce today."
"What good news?"
Jiang Wang cleared his throat before saying, "The plan for the island tourist attraction has been approved."
"Passed? So quickly?"
It's no wonder she was surprised. This is a big project that needs to be reviewed at every level. It would be considered fast if it could be approved within a year or two.
"My uncle said that a leader above him thought it was feasible. He talked to him for several hours and hinted to my uncle that a bridge might be built to connect the mainland and the island, so that the only transportation would not be by boat in the future. This is all internal information and has not been announced in any specific documents. Please don't spread it yet."
Shen Ye Ning smiled and said, "That's really a good thing. Don't worry, I will never tell anyone else."
"So, since you helped me so much, I'll treat you to not only one meal, but also the next ten meals, no, the whole month."
"Boss Jiang, you are really generous. Aren't you afraid that your employees will have objections, or worried that a boss like you will go bankrupt? Business is good today, and we are half the boss. We don't need this little money. Take it." Shen Ye Ning stuffed the money into his hands.
