Qingtian County, China's famous hometown of overseas Chinese, is Zhao Muyu's hometown, which is a difficult and unlivable place, 10 is mountainous, but among the Chinese in Italy, about one-tenth comes from this small county town with a population of less than 400,000, and even some villages here almost all the villages have immigrated to Italy, Zhao Muyu's father is one of them.

Chinese pay attention to returning home, Qingtian people who have made money abroad like to bring money back to consume and invest, so this county that was only lifted out of poverty in 1997 has become Zhejiang's "Little Hong Kong" in just a few years, and even "Little Europe", European-style buildings can be seen everywhere, some villages have no roads, and the housing prices of some plots are more expensive than Hangzhou, where "you can drink the most authentic strong coffee in the world", and euro consumption is commonplace in leisure places such as cafes and bars.

After Chen Yu and Zhao Muyu came to Qingtian, they were stunned, if it weren't for the fact that there were too few foreigners, they would have thought that they had come to the Chinese Quarter of Rome or Prato.

Zhao Muyu's hometown is in Qingtian County, and his grandparents died when Zhao Muyu didn't say anything, and Zhao Muyu has an aunt who has married far away to Xinjiang, leaving only one uncle in Qingtian.

Zhao Muyu's parents made a lot of money in Prato, but most of it was used to expand reproduction, and for more than ten years, they only bought two properties in their hometown, counting a house that Zhao Muyu got after getting married, and there are three houses under Zhao Muyu's name.

Zhao Muyu will graduate this summer, although Chen Yu and Zhang Shubin have planned to open a clothing company for her, but Zhao Muyu doesn't want everything to rely on the two of them, and wants to rely on their own money to start a business, Zhang Shubin and Chen Yu are a little unimpressed, because they think that a house in a small county town can be worth much, it is better to stay in their hometown, but Zhao Muyu is introverted and stubborn, insisting on her own opinions, Zhang Shubin and Chen Yu have no way to change her.

Zhao Muyu's uncle Zhao Zhiguo, who is in his fifties, is in the stone carving business, he graduated from junior high school, and he does not have much education, but his eyes are full of the shrewdness of Zhejiang people and the philistine of small citizens.

Seeing his niece coming, Zhao Zhiguo didn't have much joy, and his smile was more doubtful and speculative. After the death of his brother Zhao Zhijun, there was very little news about his niece, some people said that Zhao Muyu was married, some people said that he was raised by an old Chinese man, and some people said that Zhao Muyu died, anyway, there was almost no news later, so in Zhao Zhiguo's heart, the three houses left by his brother became his own private property.

But now, Zhao Muyu came back without any warning, and came back with a young man with a northern face, in Zhao Zhiguo's heart, northerners are poor ghosts, Zhao Muyu came back with a poor ghost, and he must have wanted to get back the family property that belonged to her, which made Zhao Zhiguo feel painful as if he had cut three pieces of meat from him.

"Muyu, this is your boyfriend, right?" Zhao Zhiguo asked lukewarmly.

Zhao Muyu hesitated slightly, and said, "Yes, uncle, his name is Chen Yu." ”

"Hello, hello," Zhao Zhiguo asked the two of them to sit in his office and poured a cup of tea for Chen Yu and Zhao Muyu. "Mu Yu, how have you spent all these years abroad, why don't you return to China, at least here your uncle can take care of you."

Zhao Muyu's face sank when she heard this, because when her father died, Zhao Zhiguo didn't even go to Italy in person, only one of his aunts rushed to Italy from China to mourn, which was also one of the important reasons why Zhao Muyu was reluctant to return to his hometown.

However, the first time he returned to China, Zhao Muyu didn't want to embarrass Zhao Zhiguo too much, so he said lightly: "I met a good person, Dad Yu and Chen Yu have been taking care of me and helping me go to college, and I don't have time to come back." “

Yu Dad? Zhao Zhiguo remembered the rumors about Zhao Muyu being raised by an old man, but he still said quietly: "How many days do you have winter vacation, since you are here, stay in China for a few more days, there are many beautiful and interesting places in Zhejiang, I will let your second brother accompany you for more time." ”

Zhao Muyu said: "No need, uncle, my vacation will end on the 10th, the month is the exam month, there are many exam subjects this month, I have to prepare for review, I don't have time to stay here longer." ”

Zhao Zhiguo looked at his watch, it was already half past five, and he said: "It's not early, let's go home for dinner, and stay at home at night, or we have to live for two or three days, if you can't come, let's go." ”

"Where are we eating?" Zhao Muyu glanced at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu said to Zhao Zhiguo: "Uncle will be troubled for dinner, but we won't stay at home at night, and we have already booked a room in the county when we get off the train." ”

Chen Yu didn't lie, the room was already set when he got off the bus, and the two bodyguards were now staying in the hotel, because Chen Yu was worried that the two foreign bodyguards were too eye-catching, so he let them stay in the hotel.

Zhao Zhiguo was not reluctant, and said: "It's okay, if you feel that it is inconvenient to live at home, just stay in a hotel, and I will call your brothers and sisters and have a reunion dinner together." ”

The three of them talked and walked out of the office, Zhao Zhiguo went to the courtyard and drove his Passat out, and said, "Get in the car, the factory is still several kilometers away from home." ”

Chen Yu and Zhao Muyu got into the car, and ten minutes later, a gorgeous three-story building appeared in front of them, with a large balcony and a corridor, which is a typical combination of Chinese and Western style, but there are not many such small buildings around, but it does not seem abrupt.

Zhao Zhiguo had already greeted his family before coming from the factory, and when Chen Yu and Zhao Muyu arrived, Zhao Muyu's aunt had already made tea and put fruits, melon seeds and candy on the table.

Zhao Muyu's aunt is obviously a very emotional person, although she had just gotten married when Zhao Muyu's father went abroad, but seeing Zhao Muyu was like seeing her long-lost daughter, tearfully pulling Zhao Muyu to ask for warmth, which made Zhao Muyu's eyes red.

Zhao Zhiguo took out a Chinese stick and lit it, and said to Chen Yu: "You are not married yet." ”

Chen Yu said embarrassedly: "Not yet, Muyu is still young, let's talk about it after she graduates." ”

Zhao Zhiguo nodded, "By the way, Mu Yu just said what kind of work you are doing in Italy." ”

Chen Yu was reluctant to talk to him in detail, and said lightly: "I work in a shoe factory in Italy. ”

Although Zhao Zhiguo looked down on the northerners very much, he felt that Chen Yu was extraordinary, and thought that he was not an ordinary person, he didn't expect that he was a part-time worker, and he looked down on him a little, so he said: "After all, working is not a long-term solution, it is better to accumulate some money to do business. ”

Chen Yu smiled indifferently and said, "I think this job income is not bad, and I have no idea of coming out to do business for the time being." ”

Zhejiang people are pragmatic, flexible-minded, almost everyone is doing business, Wenzhou people are known as Chinese Jews, Qingtian people have also left their footprints to the whole world, they think that doing business is the best profession in the world, listening to Chen Yu is not interested in doing business, Zhao Zhiguo is a little unhappy, so he no longer talks to Chen Yu, but to his daughter-in-law said: "When will the food be delivered?" ”

Zhao Zhiguo's daughter-in-law said: "It's almost over, when I called, the old Wang of the hotel said that it would be fine for half an hour."

Zhao Zhiguo said: "Why haven't Ziwei, Ziwen, and Zihua come back yet?" ”

Zhao Zhiguo's daughter-in-law said: "Ziwen and Ziwei will arrive soon, Zihua may not be able to come, his company has an important customer to accompany." ”

Zhao Zhiguo said: "Then forget it, Mu Yu won't go back tomorrow." ”

While everyone was talking, Zhao Zhiguo's son and daughter came back, but they obviously didn't have any feelings for Zhao Muyu, they just said hello lightly, and then sat down to watch TV.

Zhao Ziwen is only in his twenties this year, although there is no atmosphere of playing football in Zhejiang, but sports news or something is still occasionally seen, and recently because Chen Yu broke into the top ten of the World Footballer Selection, he also won the Asian Footballer, not only sports stations, but even ordinary TV stations and news broadcast the news, he saw Chen Yu seemed to be a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen Chen Yu, let alone Chen Yu who had recently been in the limelight in China, so he just looked at Chen Yu twice and didn't ask more.

After a while, the restaurant sent the food over, and the local Chinese and Western cultural buildings, the food here is also Europeanized, also Chinese and Western, also local and foreign, there are European-style thin sliced ham salad, steak, there is also the authentic taste of "Buddha jumping over the wall", of course, Qingtian's local characteristics - fried noodles, gnocchi is indispensable.

Zhao Zhiguo took out a bottle of Wuliangye and said to Chen Yu: "Can you drink white bar?" ”

Chen Yu said: "You can drink a little." ”

Zhao Zhiguo opened the wine and asked his son to pour a glass for Chen Yu, almost three or two, and he was also full, "Today Muyu came back from abroad, and she also brought her boyfriend, this is a happy event for our family, come, drink wine if you can drink, and drink tea if you can't drink." ”

Everyone chatted while eating, drinking, and it was very harmonious on the surface, but everyone carefully avoided the topic of Zhao Muyu's parents' death and house, and only talked about the customs, economy and culture of Italy and Qingtian.

After eating, Zhao Muyu and Chen Yu drank tea and talked, then said goodbye and left, Zhao Zhiguo drank a lot of wine, so he asked his son Zhao Ziwen to drive Zhao Muyu and Chen Yu to the hotel.

Back at the hotel, Chen Yu said to Zhao Muyu, who looked unhappy: "What's the matter, it's sad." ”

Zhao Muyu nodded and said to Chen Yu: "Today I will use you as a shield, saying that you are my boyfriend, don't be angry." ”

Chen Yu said with a smile: "I know that you don't want to talk about our relationship, it's okay, even if you use my shield, you can use it for as long as you want." ”

Chen Yu said unintentionally, but Zhao Muyu thought about it when he heard it, and said softly: "Brother Xiao Yu, today is the first time we came, I am not embarrassed to ask about the house directly, I want to ask about the house tomorrow, and then make plans, if it is all sold, I am afraid it will take a little time, and it will not delay your business." ”

Chen Yu said: "If it goes well, there should be nothing, I'm afraid that your uncle doesn't want to return the house to you, if he really feels sorry for your niece and has this blood relationship, he should take the initiative to mention this matter, but now he has avoided talking about it." ”

Zhao Muyu said: "I think it's a little bit, but he won't occupy our family's property." ”

Chen Yu said: "People's hearts are unpredictable, and now the Chinese only have money in their eyes, where is there any family friendship and morality." ”

Zhao Muyu said worriedly: "What if my uncle really forcibly occupies the house we added?" ”

Chen Yu smiled bitterly: "What should I do, adapt to the situation, maybe things won't be as bad as I thought, besides, three houses are not worth much." That's four or five million dollars. ”

Zhao Muyu pursed his lips, "It's a big number for me." ”

Chen Yu rubbed Zhao Muyu's hair and said, "Today's journey is hard, let's rest early, maybe everything will go well tomorrow, and we will go back directly." ”

Zhao Muyu nodded and said, "Good night, Brother Xiao Yu." ”

Chen Yu said: "Go to bed early, this money is nothing, besides, if he dares to do something wrong, we also have a way to treat him." ”

Chen Yu's words made Zhao Muyu full of confidence and security, just like when she met Chen Yu for the first time, although it was only a chance encounter, Zhao Muyu believed that it was a person who could help her.

The next day, Chen Yu and Zhao Muyu came to Zhao Zhiguo again after having breakfast, this time Zhao Zhiguo seemed much more enthusiastic, and took the initiative to talk about the house.

"Yesterday you mean that you don't plan to develop in the country, your father still has a house here, what are you going to do with it?"

Zhao Muyu was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Uncle, I remember that our family has three houses, one of which is a store house. ”

Zhao Zhiguo said: "There is such a thing, but then your father was short of funds, so I asked him to take out a loan, which was a mortgage on the house, and then your father unfortunately died, and I still paid back the loan, otherwise the house would be auctioned, so those two houses cannot be regarded as your family property." ”

Zhao Zhiguo knew that Zhao Muyu was still young when his brother Zhao Zhijun died, and probably wouldn't tell Zhao Muyu about business, so he made up this lie, and even if Zhao Muyu knew that Zhao Zhijun was dead, there was no proof of death, Zhao Zhiguo didn't believe that Zhao Muyu, a weak woman who had never been to China, could take the house away on his territory.

Zhao Muyu was so angry that her eyes darkened, and she couldn't speak for a while, she couldn't imagine that her uncle was really so despicable, and when she saw the money, she thought about the inheritance left to her by her parents.

Chen Yu was also furious, but he knew that it was not a hurry, so he stretched out his hand to support Zhao Muyu and said, "Muyu, don't be angry, don't worry, black can't be white, white can't be black." ”

Zhao Muyu easily breathed a sigh of relief, pointed at Zhao Zhiguo and said, "Uncle, I was not young when my father died, but I never heard him say this. ”

Zhao Zhiguo's face was innocent, "Niece, you are an orphan, can I, an uncle, be so conscienceless, rely on your two houses?" You were young, and of course your parents wouldn't tell you."

Zhao Muyu sneered: "Okay, uncle, you said that my father asked you to take out a loan and use the mortgage of the house, but this bank must have a record, let's go and check the record to see if there is such a thing." ”

As soon as Chen Yu heard Zhao Muyu say this, he knew that Lu Dao was going to be bad, that Zhao Zhiguo was cunning and cunning, he dared to say this, he must have already calculated, it is estimated that he really used these two houses to take out a loan, but maybe Zhao Muyu's father didn't know Lu Dao, but it was too late to stop Zhao Muyu now.

The corners of Zhao Zhiguo's mouth showed an imperceptible smug smile, and said: "Okay, Mu Yu, I can take you to investigate, this matter is well-documented and well-known, what kind of person is I, Zhao Zhiguo, who is sending you this money, even if I don't have money, I can't do such a thing that is unconscionable." ”

Zhao Muyu also seemed to know that Lu Dao had been fooled at this time, and she said angrily: "Uncle, this matter is all your own words, and there is no witness." ”

Zhao Zhiguo couldn't help shaking his head and said: "There are witnesses, your aunt, the staff of the bank, these are all witnesses, nieces, if I really want to occupy your family's real estate, I won't leave you that set, this is a fact, my own money can't be spent in vain, that's a million, your uncle and I are not billionaires." ”

Chen Yu saw that Zhao Muyu was so angry that her face was pale and speechless, afraid that she would be really angry, so he hurriedly took her in his arms and said to Zhao Zhiguo: "What you said is true or false, we will go to the bank to investigate and see if this is the case, even if this is the case, we will give you the loan money, but the house cannot be given to you, this is left to her by Mu Yu's father, only Mu Yu has the right to deal with it." ”

Zhao Zhiguo smiled coldly and said: "Real gold is not afraid of fire refining, you can check it, but how can a million five years ago be worth the same as a million now." ”

Chen Yu smiled slightly, and said: "Don't think that we will only check this loan information, I can also find out if you have remitted the one million loan to Italy, if you have a loan, but you have not remitted this money abroad, how can you prove that this money is loaned to Mu Yu's father." ”

Chen Yu said it to the bone, although Zhao Zhiguo didn't know if Chen Yu could find out about the remittance a few years ago, but if it was found out, then he would not only not get the house, but also be ridiculed by the villagers. Occupy his biological brother's house and bully orphan girls, no matter where or in any country, this is a shameful thing, in fact, if it weren't for the recent appreciation of the house, a store house left by Zhao Muyu's father is in the new city planning area, there will definitely be a lot of room for appreciation in the future, Zhao Zhiguo will not be obsessed with money to do such a thing, but now, he is already riding a tiger, since he has told this lie, he must round this lie no matter what.
