Return to 88: Starting from Marrying My Sister-in-law

In 1992, Hong Kong was still a glamorous place compared to the mainland.

A gift brought back from Hong Kong.

It is naturally very special, looks very trendy, and is also very valuable.

Although Lu Yang repeatedly stated that they were all worthless rare goods.

In Hong Kong, they are just common things.

It's just rare in the mainland.

But since it is a rare commodity, how could it be worthless?
What's more, the person who made the move is a billionaire.

Considering the relationship between Lu Yang and their family, neither the old Wei family nor Gong Lanlan rejected everything.

Instead, pick just one.

Just pick one.

"It's enough as long as the intention is there. We wouldn't dare to accept more. That's it."

Gong Lanlan expressed her views on behalf of the female family members.

"Okay, then everyone can pick one. But in addition to the two sisters-in-law, the children can also pick one each."

Lu Yang didn't force it.

In addition to the two sisters-in-law, the family members present included Wei Shujie's younger brother who was in high school, Gong Pingan's two nephews and niece, and Gong Lanlan's two children.

The names here are a little confusing, but Lu Yang has always called Lao Wei "brother", but Lao Wei is also the father of Wei Shujie, the father-in-law of Gong Pingan's brother, and the couple Zheng Aiguo and Gong Lanlan have always been equals with Lao Wei's family.

So we can only discuss our own opinions.

Zheng Aiguo and Wei Zheng looked at each other and agreed on behalf of their families.

"Come on, good brothers, let's go drink and let them take their time choosing here."

Zheng Aiguo put his arm around Lu Yang’s shoulders and walked inside.

Lu Yang was also happy to get away. He asked people to put all the gifts on the ground, and then followed the two older brothers to the wine table.

During the banquet.

After three rounds of drinking.

Lu Yang found an excuse and asked about the follow-up of his father-in-law's case.

In fact, even if he didn't ask, Lao Zheng would have brought it up and made it the key point.

However, Lu Yang's alcohol tolerance is so good now that he can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. He is worried that if he doesn't ask, these two old brothers will be drunk by him next.

I can’t ask even if I want to, I can only wait until next time.

Zheng Aiguo burped, patted his chest and said proudly, "We have dealt with everything, don't worry. Besides, the suspect has passed my test, and there is still your sister-in-law's test. Your sister-in-law is now the president of the court. Under her jurisdiction, such unforgivable criminals who raped other people's wives and daughters and hurt people's lives should be sentenced to the maximum sentence and dealt with severely."

When Lu Yang heard this, he realized that this was the case.

He no longer asked about the details of the interrogation.

Keep drinking.

He believed that since Zheng Aiguo dared to give him a guarantee, he must be sure that the person who hurt his father-in-law would never be able to turn over.

Wei Zheng also took advantage of the alcohol and said, "My daughter called me last time and said that she went to Pengcheng and is now planning to settle down in Pengcheng. She also wanted to invite me, her mother, and her brother to go to Pengcheng for a few days during the winter vacation after she is settled."

"Brother Lu, let me speak from the bottom of my heart. Are you interested in moving your company's headquarters to Pengcheng?"

Lu Yang nodded after hearing this.

This matter cannot be hidden from anyone.

His investment of 10 billion yuan to build a skyscraper in Pengcheng has already caused a lot of buzz. Those who know Lu Yang and those who don’t should be able to guess that next, as soon as the headquarters building is completed, this billionaire will definitely move the headquarters there.

"I have invested in many projects before, but each project was independent and there was no group headquarters to manage them. Now there are more and more projects to invest in. If I don't set up a group headquarters to centralize offices and management, I am afraid there will be big trouble in the future."

He explained a little bit.

Wei Zheng nodded without any expression. He could understand what Lu Yang said.

But he was worried that one day in the future, the person in front of him would move all his properties in Zhao County away.

This will affect the livelihoods of thousands of families.

As far as he knows, there are more than a thousand workers in a garment factory in Shanghuai Village alone, not to mention its upstream and downstream industrial chains. If one day all the factories move away, it will definitely be a huge blow to many families.

Zheng Aiguo also put down his wine glass, he was also concerned about this.

Even Fan Town is his territory.

Lu Yang pointed at them and laughed, "So that's what you two elder brothers are worried about. Don't worry, I was also born in Zhao County. It was the mountains and waters of Zhao County that nurtured me. As the saying goes, when you drink water, remember its source. So this time I came back, in addition to visiting you two elder brothers, I also brought good news."

He guessed that the two of them should have heard about it, but they just hadn't gotten confirmation yet.

"I know."

“Is it a project in the county’s South City Development Zone?”

Gong Lanlan came over and said, "I heard that the county invited a big boss to return home to invest and prepare for a big project, so I guessed it must be you, but the big boss in the county hid it very well, and was worried that the city would come to poach him, so he never publicized the matter."

"Now it seems to be confirmed."

"I think you two rough guys should be able to rest assured, right?"

"Brother Lu has a sincere heart as a wanderer and a desire for peace. He is no less than you two rough guys. Unlike you, you only know how to talk. I asked you to do something practical for the villagers and lead them to prosperity. Humph, do you have the ability to do that?"

She was holding a bag of what were obviously high-end cosmetics.

This was the only gift she cared about.

Things like gold and silver jewelry and jade are definitely more valuable than these cosmetics, but she is a judge and she certainly cannot choose these things.

Only consumer goods like this can be thrown away after use without causing trouble.

Besides, it is women’s nature to love beauty.

Even Gong Lanlan is no exception. She used it on my face. Humph, the cheap bearded man on the table.

Zheng Aiguo and Wei Zheng looked at each other.

Then it dawned on me.

They had also heard about this incident, but they had always thought it was just a rumor. What big boss was willing to spend tens of millions to invest in this remote area? Had he gotten kicked in the head by a donkey?

fake.

It must be fake.

But now I think about it, oh, it turns out that the one who got kicked in the head by the donkey was Brother Lu!!!

Patted his head.

"Blame me."

Wei Zheng complained, "I am the director of the bureau, but I was kept in the dark about such a big incident in the county. The confidentiality work was too good."

As he spoke, he bowed to Lu Yang and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, Brother Lu. I shouldn't have used my mean heart to take advantage of you. When I first heard my daughter say that you invested so much money in Pengcheng, building buildings and moving, I thought you would come back and take all the belongings away from home. I was still thinking about how to persuade you. I should be punished, I should be punished. I will punish myself with five cups to make amends to you."

He stood up as he spoke.

Zheng Aiguo looked around, especially at the glare from his wife, and then he stood up as well: "Me too."

After saying that, he grabbed the bottle of wine next to him and poured himself a drink.

Lu Yanggang grabbed the bottle and said, "No, if you want to punish me, I'll drink five glasses of wine. Otherwise, if you two rough guys drink all the wine, what will I drink?"

His words made everyone laugh.

All the discordant atmosphere was swept away in an instant.

"Then I wish us a happy reunion!" "Yes, have a happy reunion, good buddies, good brothers, we are always good buddies and good brothers."

"Honor your friendship!"

“Cheers to friendship!”

"cheers!"

No one would be stupid enough to ask how much money Lu Yang was going to invest in Zhao County, what project he was going to invest in, where the project was located, etc.

Because it's kept secret.

There must be a need for confidentiality.

Whether it is the worry about being poached or the fact that once the project is implemented, the next thing to face is land expropriation.

What if the news leaked out?

You see, there will definitely be big chaos and big trouble. Don't think too simply about human nature. Even the most honest people will constantly try to find ways to test when faced with benefits that are about to be within their reach.

For example: rush to plant trees, rush to plant seedlings, rush to build houses, rush to add another floor to a built house, or rush to build an auxiliary building.

There are too many ways to increase compensation, and there is no defense against them.

So don't test human nature.

Confidentiality is necessary until the last moment, before the project team is formally established and the signature takes effect.

A very enjoyable meal.

Lu Yang returned to the county guesthouse, took a shower, and then called Du Manni, asking her to hand over the work to his secretary.

Tomorrow, I will go back to Shanghuai Village to visit my aunt.

He will take his people away from Zhao County directly.

I will no longer have to make an extra trip to this county guesthouse just to hand over my work.

Of course Dumani was disappointed.

She wished the boss would stay here for a few more days so that she could ask more questions from him and have him give her more guidance.

Lu Yang touched her face.

"Don't talk. You just need to listen carefully to what I tell you and follow it. Don't mess things up, okay?"

This woman is very ambitious.

But he also has outstanding abilities, can be tough on himself, and is willing to work hard. He doesn't mind training him and giving him a chance to stand on his own.

Asking her to do marketing promotion was a test for her before, and now she has passed the test.

"Once you sign the contract, you will stay in Zhao County and help me keep an eye on the construction site until the factory building is completed. If nothing goes wrong, you will be the first director of this new factory after the factory building is completed."

Dumani was very obedient and didn't say a word.

Concentrate on taking notes.

Only when the pen was running out of ink did he pick up the tissue beside him and wipe the corners of his mouth.

With a red face, she raised her head and stole a glance at the boss until she saw him nod with satisfaction.

Then he quietly left the room.

the next day.

Lu Yang went out with his secretary in a refreshed mood, otherwise he would have forgotten about such a huge investment and let Du Manni take full charge.

Came to Shanghuai Village.

The convoy stopped in front of Lu Yang's villa.

Lu Yang first went to the garment factory to say hello to his older cousin Lu Youren.

Lu Youren was very happy to know that he could come, but when he mentioned his mother, he could no longer smile.

"Mother has not been in good health since she came back from the trip to Guangzhou with us to attend the sixth brother's wedding."

"There has been no news from Lao Wu."

"Seventh brother is also disobedient. Last time, he almost got my cousin into trouble. Since he went to Yangcheng, he has refused to come back. He said that he wanted to work with sixth brother. Now there are only my wife and I left at home. But you also know that my mother loved fifth brother the most since he was a child. After fifth brother left without saying goodbye and disappeared with his wife and children, she gave all her love to seventh brother. Now even seventh brother refuses to come back. She is alone at home and no one talks to her. Over time, her brain has become a little bit useless."

Lu Yang nodded, and then asked about his cousin, cousin-in-law and their family, as well as his younger sister.

"Your cousin is pregnant with her second child and is staying at home to take care of the baby. By the way, the new house they bought in the county town is in the same neighborhood as mine."

"You've met her husband, too. He's an honest, hardworking man with great motorcycle skills. Last year I asked him to learn how to drive a truck. Now he's working as an ordinary truck driver in the driver class. He earns a lot of money a month, enough to support the family."

"All this is thanks to you, my cousin. Otherwise, you would know that although the man my eldest sister married is good, he is an honest man who loves his wife, but her mother-in-law is very powerful. At the beginning, my eldest sister often cried secretly. Now that the couple has made money, they have moved out and live on their own. Finally, they don't have to look at the face of her evil mother-in-law anymore."

"Now we have the conditions to have another child."

Lu Yang nodded.

What his eldest cousin said was almost the same as what he had learned.

My cousin and her husband have had a really hard life. They are both very honest people. Now with the help of my cousin, they have bought a house in the county town and are living on their own. I guess they won't have to endure the bullying from their parents-in-law anymore.

As for my cousin's husband, he was arranged into the driver class by my cousin.

As long as management isn't involved.

He didn't want to get involved.

"Where's my little sister?"

"Old Eighth lives with me now. Your sister-in-law loves her very much and almost treats her as a treasure. You also know that your sister-in-law and I only have one child, Little Treasure, and we don't plan to have a second child. Because Little Eighth started school late, your sister-in-law said that if she continues to live in the countryside, she may not even be able to finish middle school in the future. It is better to send her to the city, where the starting point will be higher. I thought about it and realized that our family is not short of money now. Old Eighth is the only brother and sister in the family who is studying. Since she has the conditions to receive a good education, why not send her there?
Alas, it's just hard for my mother. Lao Ba has gone to the county town to study. My wife also lives in the county town now and usually doesn't come back. She says that even the air in Shanghuai Village smells like coal, which is bad for the children's respiratory tract. I can't force her to stay in the village to take care of my mother. "

Speaking of it.

Lu Youren was afraid that Lu Yang would misunderstand him, so he started talking about another matter.

"My mother has some mental problems now. She often wakes up in the middle of the night and talks nonsense. She can talk to herself all night long, often making so much noise that the neighbors can't fall asleep. Even my husband and I have become a little nervous now..."

"Well, you'll understand after you meet her later."

He didn't want to say any more.

After all, she is your own mother. As a son, it is unreasonable for you to say bad things about your mother to others.

Lu Yang understood as soon as he heard it.

Maybe the soundproofing of the houses in the city is not good, and there is only a wall between the upstairs and downstairs. If an elderly person coughs in the middle of the night, you can hear it, not to mention talking nonsense all night long. How can the neighbors sleep?

On the contrary, in the countryside, because the houses are far apart and are all detached, even if someone talks nonsense at night, as long as they don't scream loudly.

I'm sure the neighbors won't find fault with it.

Lu Yang nodded: "Anyway, let's go and have a look. Maybe my aunt will recognize me. Even if she doesn't, it doesn't matter. I'll see if I can help you contact a nursing home and send your aunt to live there. This way you can relax. Otherwise, your wife and children are in the county town. You are alone in the factory during the day and have to stay in the village to take care of your mother at night. This is not a long-term solution."

Lu Youren's mouth was full of bitterness.

For a moment, I didn't know whether I should listen to my cousin.

The so-called sanatorium.

He knew in his heart that it was actually a mental hospital and his cousin was just taking care of his emotions.

But, is it really possible for a son to send his mother to a mental hospital?
Being pointed at by others is only secondary.

He was even more worried that his mother would not be able to take care of herself if she went to the mental hospital, and that the patients in the hospital might even bully her. Then, as a son, he would be held responsible.

"Let's talk about it after we meet my mother first."

He said to Lu Yang.
