381: Chapter 381: How is My House Gone?

Thankfully, the chaotic events didn’t last too long.

Because before long, it was afternoon, and Zhao Guang was dragged onto a train by his older sister.

Throughout the trip, Zhao Guang really wanted to try, to see what would happen if he opened the Space Gate on the train.

Would he return to the train or land on the tracks?

But then he thought about it and figured he couldn’t withstand being hit by a high-speed train, so he gave up that idea.

At last, he was far from the turmoil and was increasingly able to appreciate the beauty of home.

Walking along the familiar road, Zhao Guang became more and more cheerful.

“I’m home, I’m home, I am ho…

Where is my house?” Zhao Guang stared in front of him at the odd ruins.

Behind him, Zhao Yan ran up breathlessly, followed by an even more winded Wang Qu.

Heaven knows why these two, instead of staying at their homes during the New Year, ended up here.

Apparently, this year his brother-in-law’s entire family was supposed to come over for the New Year, probably because of him.

Forget it, why think so much about it?

They should do whatever feels comfortable to them; after all, his sister seemed quite comfortable.

“Why the rush?

Are you hurrying home for a meal?”

Zhao Guang pointed ahead, his fingers trembling a bit, “Tell me, who did this?”

His sister rolled her eyes, “Of course, it was Mom.

What do you want to do about it?”

So it was Mom’s doing.

Well, that was that.

What could he say?

But looking at the strange ruins, Zhao Guang really couldn’t imagine how it could have turned into this.

If it weren’t for a few pits around, he would have thought they were turning this place into a junkyard.

His familiar old house was completely gone.

“By the way, what exactly is Mom trying to do here?” Who messes with their own house for fun.

Though it’s not like he has nowhere else to go, spending the New Year at someone else’s place would feel rather odd.

Or say, taking the train to his place?

That would feel even stranger.

A lot of people in his family are off work for the New Year, and there won’t be anyone to look after things.

“It’s all because you gave some money to the family a while back, then Mom said there was too much left, so she decided to renovate the house.”

“This isn’t renovation, this is clearly demolition.”

“Then Dad suggested tearing it down and building a two-story building, so they did just that.”

Zhao Guang nodded, but then suddenly thought something was off, “Wait a second, a two-story building, at a normal pace, should be nearly finished by now.”

They had a construction team in their family.

If they were put to work, they would definitely be faster.

After all, working for their own boss, these people would definitely bring out their best efforts.

Zhao Yan sighed, “The problem is, after Mom and Dad found out exactly how much money you made and saw your villa, Dad made a comment when they came back and Mom totally took it to heart.”

“Later on, Mom insisted on building a villa like yours at home, so the original two-story building was demolished.”

“So where is the villa, then?

Where is the villa?” Zhao Guang asked incredulously.

“That’s right, but since winter is approaching, and it’s difficult to work on these projects in the cold, they just had to stop,” Wang Qu said quietly, as he was also involved in this.

After all, he was involved in the construction materials business, which was his old profession.

His parents wanted to build a house, and he was responsible for many of the materials.

Zhao Yan rolled her eyes, “It’s just because they started arguing again.

Mom wanted to build a villa, Dad insisted on upgrading it to a manor, saying the family wasn’t short on money, and then they started bickering.”

“Why not just build a villa in the manor?” Zhao Guang rolled his eyes and said.

“You make it sound so easy, if only you had said that earlier.

But the problem is, the manor is too big.”

As his elder sister explained, Zhao Guang finally understood, it was because the village and other relatives got involved later on.

The villagers suddenly realized how wealthy Zhao Guang was, so they wanted to ask for more investment.

But for Zhao Feng, this was his own business, and even though he had already used his son’s money, he couldn’t continue to do so.

Building a house was one thing, business was another, Zhao Feng had a clear distinction in his mind.

The old man’s stubbornness usually wouldn’t matter, it was just his own idea.

But the problem arose because building the manor required a lot of land.

The surrounding area was either other people’s houses, fields they cultivated, or village land.

As the matter escalated, the asking price kept getting higher.

At this time, some relatives from who knows where also started causing various problems.

Borrowing money was normal, but there were some who wanted a share of the profits.

There were even those who shouted that the family money was inherited from the ancestors, clamoring for a division of the estate.

“Didn’t the authorities handle this?” Zhao Guang said, somewhat puzzled.

“It’s a family matter, how can the authorities intervene, nobody can help unless…”

“Unless what?” Zhao Guang felt a headache coming on.

Perhaps, this year’s return would not go well.

But since he was back, he had to resolve these issues.

“Unless we call the police or take it to court, then someone could intervene.”

Zhao Guang fell silent, despite his family having the right to their stance.

How his money was earned was very clear to the authorities, and although some matters were hard to explain, they could definitely assure that the older generation of their family wouldn’t be affected.

But the problem was, once they proceeded with that, things would become very complicated.

Zhao Guang might not mind, but what about his parents?

If they really made a big fuss with the relatives, one could imagine how his parents would feel afterwards.

“It’s troublesome, really troublesome.

Some people just won’t be reasonable.

But we can’t just leave it like this, the longer it drags on, the worse my parents’ mood will be.”

Zhao Yan nodded gently, “So, I think it’s best to just let it be.”

Zhao Guang was puzzled, and Zhao Yan continued, “As long as we let it continue like this, the more people fuss, the less the feelings involved.

When our parents can’t stand it anymore, we’ll just persuade them to move away.”

“Is that okay, though?

They still have their business in the village.”

“Even if they have a business, they don’t need to personally oversee it.

If it really comes down to it, find a proxy.

After all, they can’t really intervene much in village affairs on a regular basis, right?”

Wang Qu quickly nodded, agreeing with his wife, “That’s right, that’s what I think too.”

Zhao Guang looked disdainfully at his brother-in-law, “Then let’s try your method, just as a test.” Seeing his sister glare at him, Zhao Guang conceded completely.
