Chapter: 4715

It has a practical usable area of less than 30 square meters.

In this densely populated territory, owning a house with an area of over 30 square meters is already beyond many people's reach.

The Kowloon Walled City had countless families living in tiny units of even five or eight people crammed into a room with insufficient space. Compared to that, Chen's house in Sham Shui Po has already shed the label of poverty.

When Chen Zhong was young, he grew up here. Later, his father started a charcoal fire and helped the family move to Hong Kong Island's bustling city center.

After that, Chen Zhong became a well-known business manager on Hong Kong Island, helping Liu Hui make a lot of money, and himself earning a good income. Chen's house also changed from being a high-rise apartment in the city center to a valuable row house, which is what people in mainland China call an attached villa.

When Chen Zhong left Hong Kong Island, the family situation was already decent. However, due to his conflict with Liu Hui, the whole family was entangled, and my younger brother and sister had a hard time finding work, not to mention love and marriage, which were greatly affected. As for the goose shop at home, its business plummeted.

After so many years, I had to provide for my younger siblings' education and my parents' medical expenses, as well as maintain the household, so our row house was sold long ago. Luckily, my father remembered his old place and didn't sell it even when he became prosperous. So we still have a foothold here.

My two sisters-in-law are no exception; they all married workers from Hong Kong Island, and the reason is that everyone knows their older brother offended Liu Hui, so no one dares to marry into our family.

As for my younger brother Chen Zuo, he's actually quite lucky. He's been in love with his girlfriend for many years, and she never gave up on him. They overcame countless obstacles and finally achieved their goal.

Currently, this old house is home to my younger brother's family of three and grandma. Although it's very cramped, I still set aside a separate room for my mother and installed an air conditioner window unit for her, so she has a place to rest.

But then I suddenly came back, and the narrow house became even more crammed.

After we finished paying our respects to Dad and returned here, grandma was a bit regretful and said to me: "Ah Zhong, the house is too crowded. You can stay at the adjacent guesthouse tonight. Uncle Ah Qing's family, who often helps us, runs the guesthouse, and they always ask about your news. You go there for one night, and tomorrow my son will buy a new bed and replace Mom's old bed in her room, so you can live with Mom from then on."

I hurriedly said: "Mom, don't bother. I'll spend these few days properly taking care of you during the day and staying at the guesthouse at night. After these few days, I'll go to work."

Grandma was distressed and said: "You've been away for so long and finally managed to return home, and yet you're in such a rush to work? Just relax and rest first!"

I explained: "Mom, Uncle Ah Qing has helped me so much. While I still have some strength left, if he doesn't mind, I plan to dedicate myself to him in the future. His business is mostly in the mainland, and if they need my help, I might go work there."

"Sayings that, Chen Zhaozong took out a bag from his personal luggage and handed three thousand dollars to his brother Chen Zhaozu, saying: 'Brother, I didn't save too much money these years. When leaving, I passed on the shop to Strong Ape. This three thousand is just for now, take it as a supplement for household expenses.'"

Chen Zhaozu hurriedly refused: "Big brother, this is your own hard-earned money, how can I take it? Besides, my income is quite stable now that Mom has recovered. There won't be high medical fees in the future. Just keep it yourself, big brother."

"Old Madame hadn't expected it to be her who suddenly opened the door, astonishingly saying: 'Auntie, you're not feeling well? I just came from the hospital and they said you were missing, even without discharge procedures, so I rushed here as quickly as possible...'"

Old Madame smiled slightly: "Ms. Fang, take care of yourself, I'm already fine, Ah Gong brought back a pill for me, and after taking it, I suddenly became well."

Liu Jiahui on the side listened with surprise, thinking to himself: "The person from Chen's family mentioned that Old Madame wouldn't last long, but how did she suddenly become healthy? The pill she spoke of must be the one given by Ye Chen?"

Old Madame noticed Liu Jiahui standing beside Fang Jiaxin and immediately became tense, asking abruptly: "You... what are you doing here... aren't you already forgiven with my family Ah Gong?"

Liu Jiahui forced a smile: "Auntie, I came to apologize to you and Ah Gong. In the past, I was wrong, but now I have deeply realized my mistakes and the harm I caused to Ah Gong and your family, so I sincerely hope you can give me an opportunity for redemption..."

Chen Zhaozong was taken aback, hurriedly speaking up: "Liu sir, earlier we already agreed to let go of past grievances. You and I both have our own mistakes, so let's just drop it and not count who's right or wrong."

Liu Jiahui thought to himself: "Mom, you think I want to bring up all this again? I came here because Ye Chen forced me to, otherwise I wouldn't even look at you!"

Although his heart was unwilling, Liu Jiahui still spoke humbly: "Ah Gong, I know you're a big person and don't want to count with me, but this is my mistake in the first place, causing you to wander around the United States for 20 years. In my heart, I'm really regretful, so please give me an opportunity to make amends..." JrNovels.com
