Since Xiao Xiao was also raised by Yang Min alone, she knew how hard it was to raise a child alone. In addition, Uncle Chen was still an old man, so the grievances and hardships he suffered were not necessarily less than those of Yang Min.
He understands even more that his granddaughter means almost the whole world to him.
So after her granddaughter died unexpectedly, Xiao Xiao would come over to chat with him whenever she had time, occasionally buy him some daily necessities, and try her best to make the old man live a few more years.
After going back and forth, the relationship between the two was particularly good, as if they had been friends for years.
Whenever Uncle Chen has any unresolved problems, he will call Xiao Xiao, and Xiao Xiao will deal with it as his own matter. When Xiao Xiao is upset, he will also take the initiative to come to Uncle Chen.
Uncle Chen is old and has rich life experience. Xiao Xiao has learned a lot from him.
But later, since Yang Min became seriously ill, the pressure on life, work, and finances suddenly doubled. Almost all her thoughts were on Yang Min, and her contact with Uncle Chen became less and less.
Because of this, she came here to take a look when she had time today.
"Uncle Chen." Xiao Xiao looked at him with a distressed look on his face: "Didn't we talk before? If you really encounter a difficult problem to solve, you can rely on me as your granddaughter. If you can help me, you will definitely help me." What happened to you?"
Uncle Chen smiled happily, as if he could see a bit of his granddaughter in Xiao Xiao.
The mood that was ruined by the construction team during this period has slightly improved.
"I treat you as my granddaughter." Uncle Chen sighed heavily: "Although you didn't tell me, I can feel that something must have happened to your family this year. I'm tired, so I don't want to cause any trouble to you. When you finish handling the matter, you will naturally have time to see me." M.biQuge.biZ
Xiao Xiao could feel that Uncle Chen also cared about her. Not only did he not blame her for neglecting him, he would even worry about her.
"Thank you, Uncle Chen." She curved her lips slightly, her eyes a little dim.
Compared to her biological mother, Uncle Chen is more like a warm relative.
In an instant, she put away the emotions that flashed through her heart and looked at him with concern: "Then can you tell me what happened? Is it related to the demolitions outside?"
Uncle Chen nodded, glanced across the window inadvertently, and sighed heavily, as if he had breathed out all the little breath in his body. His body was like a withered leaf, and his shoulders slumped.
"Yeah, I wonder if those people are crazy about making money. In order to promote development, they actually said that all the original residents of this bay should be relocated. We have lived here for generations and have been fishermen for hundreds of years. Why? I may leave as soon as I say it, but if I give up this homeland at will, how will I face my ancestors in the underworld?"
Hearing this, Xiao Xiao frowned. She was a young person after all, and her thoughts were not so old-fashioned.
Coupled with the rapid development of business in this era, for young people, 'demolition' means getting a large amount of demolition money, which is equivalent to not having to work in a lifetime and having endless money to spend.
However, it turns out that demolition is not a good thing for the old man who has half his feet in the ground. They are not so easy to accept. He values feelings more than money.
She pulled up a chair, sat closer to Uncle Chen, and followed his gaze to the door.
At a glance, the buildings that were originally across the front room had all collapsed and were almost demolished.
There is an indescribable trend of decadence, which makes people feel desolate.
"Uncle Chen, except you, has everyone else in the bay agreed to the demolition?"
Uncle Chen frowned, angry and helpless: "Yes, I heard that in this port development, almost all the rich and respectable businessmen in Rongcheng have taken shares. It is going to be the largest project in the past century. Investors So much, the amount of demolition money is extremely considerable, when I heard that the village chief just came out with the list and the amount, everyone’s eyes were straightened.”
Xiao Xiao pursed her lips: "Then you are the only one fighting now. You also said that there are so many businessmen who are shareholders, but you refuse to let go. Will they take measures against you?"
Mentioning this, Uncle Chen clenched his hands into fists and slammed them on the table: "It makes me angry just talking about it. At first, the construction team brought people to threaten me. Oh, they didn't even think about it. I am an old man who can die at any time. Are you afraid of death?"
"Don't say that." Xiao Xiao frowned, not wanting him to be too extreme.
Uncle Chen turned to look at her, with a rare smile on his face: "Don't worry about me, I have no thoughts of committing suicide. I will definitely fight them to the end, but I don't know how long I can withstand it. Since the construction team communicated After that failed, a man in a suit came today, he is probably the young master of some businessman."
Speaking of this, Uncle Chen frowned, realizing that the matter was getting bigger and bigger, but he had no other way to deal with it.
Thinking back to the two men at the door in the morning, especially the man who stood behind and said nothing, he had a strong aura and a pair of eyes like an eagle, which made people feel nervous.
Seeing that he was lost in thought, Xiao Xiao was worried about being hurt, and asked closely: "What happened to the young master? Did he attack you?"
She can tolerate other things.
But she absolutely can't bear to do anything to the old man!
Uncle Chen came back to his senses, met Xiao Xiao's eyes, and nodded heavily: "Yes, he was dressed very elegantly and looked like a dog, but as soon as I opened the door, he was holding such a thick stick in his hand, and he was so cold. With a straight face, he was probably planning to beat me to death with a stick."
"What!" Xiao Xiao stood up immediately, breathing slowly: "How can this be done! Are you injured anywhere?"
"I'm fine. I saw through his intentions at a glance, so I said if you want to fight, just beat me to death. Anyway, I don't want to live anymore. I've been dead for a hundred years, and I can still go to hell. Please follow me as soon as possible to my miserable granddaughter. Reunion, I hope I can be a family with my granddaughter in the next life.
In my next life, I will work hard to make money while I am young. When my granddaughter is born, I will be able to give her a better life and protect her. I will not let her have an accident alone. After she died, 48 hours have passed. She was just discovered. I don’t know how scared and helpless she was before she died..."
Uncle Chen rarely took the initiative to mention the deepest pain in his heart. It was indeed the recent demolition that forced him too hard, put too much pressure on him, and caused his inner defense to be too low, so he couldn't help but mention sad things.
Seeing this made Xiao Xiao's heart tighten and her nose sore.
"It's too much! Don't feel too bad, Uncle Chen."
She hugged Uncle Chen and patted his back gently. She didn't know what to say to make Uncle Chen stop thinking about her granddaughter so much. She could only pick up what she could and said, "Do you have their phone number?" ? I'll help you beat him up, scold him, and then warn them not to mess around. If they are really reasonable, they won't use violence."
