382: Chapter 382 Being Watched by More People 382: Chapter 382 Being Watched by More People Zhao Guang quickly changed the subject, “Speaking of which, since our old house has been demolished, where are they living now?”

“They’ve moved to the town, of course.

After realizing they had nowhere to live, mom and dad temporarily bought a house there to stay in,” Zhao Yan said, with an odd smile curling at the corner of her mouth.

“Why do I feel like you’re taking pleasure in their misfortune?

What’s actually going on?”

“It’s nothing.

Why would I take pleasure in their misfortune?

It’s just, thinking about how mom and dad intentionally bought a house where lots of relatives live, saying it would be more fun to have people around, makes me happy for them.”

It was indeed taking pleasure in misfortune, Zhao Guang could already picture that scene.

Having many relatives was usually a good thing, but now, wasn’t it just causing a commotion?

He finally understood why all those relatives were able to kick up such a fuss—after all, it was caused by the two of them.

Forget it, sooner or later they would come up with a solution.

The internet was full of methods; it just depended on whether they were willing to use them.

But with those people constantly making trouble, anyone would resort to those measures.

“Wait, you know where mom and dad are staying, so why didn’t you tell me?”

“It’s because you ran off so fast.

As soon as you got off the car, you darted this way and I couldn’t catch up.”

Zhao Guang was certain, his older sister was just trying to set him up for a laugh—otherwise, how could she not have caught up?

This had to be a joke.

Fine, he’d take her word for it.

“Lead the way then, let’s go home.”

Being teased like this, Zhao Guang no longer felt the typical anxiety that comes with approaching home.

All he felt was boundless resignation.

He followed his older sister into the town, of course, they had their own car.

Although their ancestral home had been demolished, a bright freight truck was still standing firm here.

Heading to the town was very easy.

The road had just been repaired, and it was personally supervised by his parents.

Only when he arrived at the new home did Zhao Guang realize it was a very ordinary apartment building.

With so many people coming in at once, it quickly became crowded.

There was hardly any furniture in sight; it was all various gifts.

“Who sent all these?” Zhao Guang felt he had nowhere to step.

“Of course, they were sent by our relatives and friends,” said Zhao Feng with a proud look on his face.

“Relatives and friends?

If you didn’t have a successful son, who would care who you are?” Li Dujuan ridiculed without holding back.

“Even if my son deserves some credit, I have my own abilities, okay?

Look, even the town mayor has visited me,” Zhao Feng said, stubbornly jutting his head out as if that would make him appear more imposing.

Li Dujuan was not impressed: “Yeah, right.

Why didn’t he come in the past years?

As if they would see you as a person of importance without my son.” The two of them indeed found another excuse to start arguing again.

Zhao Guang was puzzled, “Why would the town mayor come to our house?”

There was no special connection between their family and the town mayor, and his parents were just busy with village affairs.

“I’ve invested over a billion in the village, you know.”

The company’s finances were managed by his sister, and the household affairs had long been handed over to her, so moving some funds around was not a big deal.

But a billion?

Could his little village even accommodate such a large project?

It wasn’t possible that all that money was spent on building a villa for their own family, was it?

“Just a billion, is that enough reason for the town mayor to get involved?”

“I think you’ve been out for too long and have lost touch with what’s happening at home,” dad suddenly said.

“Our whole town doesn’t make that much in a year.

A year brings in only one or two billion.

We poured in a billion directly—do you think the town mayor wouldn’t come and check it out?”

Yeah, Zhao Guang felt a sense of helplessness as he was used to seeing villages around the big cities.

Now, thinking about it, his hometown indeed hadn’t developed to that extent.

Although it was much better off than the poorest backwaters, it certainly couldn’t rank high nationwide.

But still, it wasn’t insignificant either.

“They didn’t come over just for your investment.

They were interested in more investment opportunities.”

Mom addressed Zhao Guang, “Don’t listen to your dad spouting nonsense.

He just likes to show off his little capabilities.

Whether he is actually capable, don’t we know it?

Discussing investments in the town, we agreed there was no need.”

Zhao Guang shook his head, “It’s not entirely unnecessary.

As long as they don’t deliberately harm our interests, it’s okay to spend a little.

Earning money and allowing our hometown to develop better is a duty we ought to fulfill.”

“Well said, that’s my son.

Look at this, the old ladies don’t understand a thing.”

“What’s wrong with the old ladies?

Without the old ladies, where would you old men come from?”

“You’re just stirring things up with nonsense talk,” dad said.

“So what if I’m causing a stir?

What haven’t I said over all these years?” At that moment, mom’s fighting spirit exploded, and dad couldn’t suppress her as she pushed him back step by step.

However, Zhao Guang was tired of this kind of drama; he had seen it countless times since he was young.

Seeing his older sister making signals to him, Zhao Guang understood that she had her own plans for this matter.

That’s fine; in terms of social matters and actual work, his sister was far better than him.

What did he have, apart from money and some almost black tech stuff?

Nothing else.

On second thought, it seemed he actually had quite a lot.

Just then, the sound of knocking on the door suddenly interrupted the argument, bringing it to an abrupt halt.

Upon opening the door, mom furrowed her brows.

“What are you two doing here?”

It was the two uncles who had come over, each holding a gift box and barging in without hesitation.

“We heard our esteemed nephew was back, so we came to visit,” they said.

“Visit him for what?

Since when do elders visit the younger ones?”

“Why not?

He’s now a key figure in the development of our town, it would be fitting for us elders to acknowledge him.”

The two uncles crowded in close, “Our town is traditionally focused on livestock.

We’ve heard that you’re doing well with pig breeding outside.

Why not come to our town and contribute to the development of our hometown?”

Zhao Guang understood; these two uncles had caught wind of the success of his pig breeding and had set their sights on it.

Figures, two guys who wouldn’t wake up early for nothing, how could they be so close to him?

Li Dujuan’s expression turned grim: “Do you know what you’re talking about?

Don’t just blabber about high-tech stuff you don’t understand.”

“What’s there to understand?

Isn’t it just pig breeding?

As if nobody else can do it.”

Zhao Guang quickly said, “It’s okay, it’s okay.

It was my oversight.

Our hometown indeed is a great place for pig farming.” Hearing this, the two uncles immediately beamed with joy.
