Landlady who likes to hoard land

"The factory has been transferred out; the contract was signed today. Your brother was worried, so he went to the factory to give them instructions."

I called him, he'll be back soon!

Tian Jing sighed quietly, wondering if Wang Chenggong's decision was right or wrong.

Although their business isn't doing exceptionally well, it's more than enough to support their families, and they even have some left over.

Wang Chenggong suddenly quit, saying he wanted to work with Wang Chengyu to develop some kind of field base. I wonder if it will even work out.

Wang Chenggong has always been in charge of family matters, and Tian Jing rarely worries about them. However, when it comes to the family's livelihood, she still feels uncertain.

Wang Chengyu noticed Tian Jing's unease, but she didn't offer any words of comfort. Even if she guaranteed that she could make money, Tian Jing might not believe it until she saw the results.

Only time will tell.

As the dishes were served one by one, all the guests gradually arrived.

Apart from Wang Chenghua, all the other adults came. Only Wang Chenghua's two children, Zhuge An and Zhuge Ming, and Wang Chenggong's youngest son, Wang Zifei, were at home.

All the other older children went to summer camp.

Aunt Tian is now a member of their family and eats with them.

Nine adults and three children filled the table.

"Dad, Mom, I need to say something first. I should have asked for your opinions first. I made the decision on my own in a moment of impulse."

I've found godparents in Beijing!

Once everyone was seated, Wang Chengyu first confessed about the matter of acknowledging the godparents, recounting it all in one breath. She nervously watched the expressions on her parents' faces.

"Godfather and godmother?" Mrs. Wang looked puzzled!

The others looked at each other, bewildered.

"Well, here's the thing..."

Wang Chengyu briefly explained the whole story, looking forward to their reaction.

"You mean, by chance, you saved an elderly woman with mental problems, and when she woke up, she mistook you for her long-deceased daughter?"

You took pity on them because they had no children, so you adopted them as godparents?

Mother Wang went through Wang Chengyu's words, recalling them as she spoke.

"Well, that's right!"

Wang Chengyu nodded.

"Oh, this is great news!"

Mrs. Wang clapped her hands happily. Mr. Wang nodded as well, "It's definitely a good thing!"

?

Wang Chengyu was so excited that she couldn't understand why her parents were so happy that she had become their godparent.

"Oh dear, Chengyu, you don't know, you were in poor health before you were three years old and were often sick."

An old lady in our village said your birth chart is weak, so it would be best if you found a godparent.

We were poor back then. I approached several families, but no one was willing to help. They were afraid that we would become a burden to them and become dependent on them.

Whenever Wang's mother talks about their childhood, she feels extremely sad. It was too painful, and she doesn't even want to mention it.

"Mom, I've never heard you mention that before!"

"Why bring that up? In the end, we didn't become godparents, and you've grown up with all the ups and downs. What's the point of bringing it up again?"

Wang's mother was very clever; she guessed that her daughter might have other opportunities besides winning the lottery.

Not only she noticed it, but her family noticed it too. How could it not be strange that such an ordinary person had suddenly become so opinionated and capable?

But Wang's mother wouldn't ask, and no one else tacitly agreed to never ask either.

They would even help cover it up. No matter what Wang Chengyu became, the fact that Wang Chengyu was their family member and that they were the ones who truly benefited was enough. Their heartfelt kindness to their family was enough.

Ah, it's good to be a little confused sometimes, especially when you're old. That's what Mrs. Wang always thought.

“Chengyu, now that you’ve been recognized as a godparent, it fulfills the wish that your father and I had back then, so this is a good thing.”

We have many children in our family, and your father and I are busy making a living, so we haven't been able to take good care of you siblings when you were little. We often feel that we owe you something.

Your dad and I are so happy that there are two more people who love you now.

Now that you've recognized her as your godmother, you must treat her well. Don't be impatient with her just because she's sick.

Wang's mother earnestly instructed him,

"We have many children, so even if you don't come home often, the house is still very lively."

They've had a tough life, and you're their only daughter. You must take good care of them in the future.

If they don't acknowledge it, fine; but if they do, they must treat them as their own parents!

Mr. Wang carefully instructed Wang Chengyu not to let others' good intentions go to waste.

"Mom and Dad, don't worry, I will always be your daughter. They are in good health, but they live far away from me, so it's not convenient for me to visit them often."

"I'll bring my godparents over to live with you all when they get old."

Wang Chengyu is now a small landlady with more than 600 acres of land. It wouldn't be a problem for her to set aside a piece of land to build a large retirement home for the elderly.

"You can arrange things yourself! Your dad and I won't worry about it. Our life now is something we never dared to dream of before. We are very content."

Wang's mother was content.

"Eat your food quickly, it's getting cold!"

Seeing that Wang's mother was getting a little sad thinking about the past, Wang Chengqing quickly changed the subject.

"Aunt Guan's shrimp is the best. I really miss it if I don't eat it for a while."

Wang Chengyu picked up a large shrimp and took a bite. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fresh and fragrant!

"Eat more if you like, there's plenty more!"

Eating and drinking, the mealtime passed quickly.

Mr. and Mrs. Wang lived far away, so they went back home after dinner.

Mr. Wang took the children to play in the square in the community. Aunt Guan finished cleaning and went back downstairs.

"Brother, my sister-in-law told me that your factory has been transferred to another company?"

Wang Chengyu took the initiative to ask.

"I completed the procedures today and transferred the property to a friend in the same industry. By the way, I told him the rent would be 30,000 for the first year and 40,000 for the rest of the year."

Wang Chenggong was in high spirits; after finishing his business at the factory, he went out to investigate. He was quite excited about it!

"You can decide that. I don't know much about the rental market right now."

"Sister-in-law, do you want me to help you find a job? Or you could work at my studio?"

Wang Chengyu asked seriously, worried that Tian Jing would overthink things if she stayed at home, so she thought it would be better to find her something to do.

Tian Jing stopped eating fruit and looked at Wang Chenggong.

"No need. The house back home isn't finished yet. After I leave, your sister-in-law will have to keep an eye on things there."

After construction is complete, it needs to be decorated, and someone needs to keep an eye on it.

We'll talk about her job later. Find her a position once your field base or guesthouse is up and running.

Wang Chenggong declined Wang Chengyu's offer. Tian Jing was not a worrier and her ability to do fine work was average, so she was not suitable to work in Wang Chengyu's studio.

It's better not to go. If there's a dispute or conflict that's hard to resolve, it will put both Wang Chengyu and him in a difficult position.

"I'll listen to your brother." Tian Jing didn't want to go to Wang Chengyu's studio either; she couldn't do that kind of work.

"Okay, then let my sister-in-law choose a suitable job when one comes along."

After Wang Chengyu finished speaking, he changed the subject.

"Brother, where are you planning to go for research?"

"I've made up my mind about the Yangtze River Delta region. I still need to go to big cities for research. The concepts and equipment in big cities are more advanced."

Since we're going to do it, we should try our best to do it well.

what you think?"

"Yes, I think the same way as you!"

Wang Chengyu agreed, saying that if you're going to do something, do it well; if you can't do it well, it's better not to do it at all.

Wang Chengyu and Wang Chenggong talked for a long time.

Finally, a lump sum of one million yuan was transferred to Wang Chenggong as preliminary investigation expenses. His salary would be paid in addition to that each month.

Wang Chengyu urgently needs an assistant, but there is no suitable person around him.

"Chengyu, don't worry, I will keep track of every expense. I guarantee that your money will not be wasted."

Wang Chenggong assured him that since his sister trusted him so much, and a million yuan could be transferred so easily, he would keep a careful record of the accounts. He emphasized that even close siblings should keep clear accounts to avoid hurting their relationship.

"Brother, I don't worry, just go ahead and do it."

Wang Chengyu knew his older brother's character well.

After expressing his stance, Wang Chenggong, along with Tian Jing, Wang Zifei, and the gifts, returned to their apartment across the street.
