Can you be called a rich man if you don’t indulge yourself?

Chapter 93 Hello, Auntie, I am Gu Heng’s girlfriend
Before Gu Heng could sit still, he felt the soft flesh around his waist being pinched by the big hand of fate.
“Ouch, it hurts!”

Seeing Gu Heng's grinning face, Xu Hong also softened her heart a little, and used less force on her hands, whispering: "You little bastard! Just like your dad, you get so arrogant just because you have a little money! I'll settle the score with you when I get back!"

In Xu Hong's eyes, whether Gu Heng bought a Bentley worth millions or spent millions to build a house, all the money was spent on his family.

Although I am still a little reluctant, this reluctance is because I am afraid of being poor. The discomfort brought about by suddenly living such a good life is not because I am stingy with my family.

And what Gu Heng said on the stage just now completely touched Xu Hong's bottom line.
In her eyes, if her family contributed even a dime more to such a large collective event, it would be a huge loss.
However, in this situation, she still chose to save face for Gu Heng and did not make a scene like she did at home.
Gu Heng also knew what the old lady was thinking.
She is a typical rural woman with a small family mindset. After all, in her heart, nothing is more important than the small piece of land at home.
If it was normal, Gu Heng would be willing to give in to her, but in this matter, he could only choose to disobey.
After all, if Gu Jianguo wants to fulfill his dream, he has to spend the money.
But it is obvious that Gu Heng is a bit too idealistic and underestimates the complexity of rural people's hearts. Sometimes it is difficult to spend money.
On the podium, the village chief took half a minute to recover from Gu Heng's words.

He immediately asked into the microphone: "You all heard what Gu Heng said just now. Gu Heng is willing to donate 200 million! You only need to pay 200 of the remaining 1 million. What else do you have to say now?"

The village chief now just wants to resolve this matter as quickly as possible.

As for the placement of the ancestral tablets of each surname, he didn't care at all.

But the villagers below obviously did not intend to cooperate with him. Zhang Laoba, who had just had a conflict with Gu Heng's family, was the first to object, "Impossible, the largest surname in our village is Li, with a total of about 30 households, and the large surnames are ranked first and the small surnames are ranked last. That is the rule set by our ancestors.

Not to mention that Gu Jianguo spent 200 million, even if his family paid for all the money to build the ancestral hall, it would be impossible!"

Zhang Laoba was very smart. With just one sentence, he stirred up a conflict between the most powerful family in the village and the Gu family.
After all, putting the ancestral tablet of the surname Gu at the first place has little impact on others. The only one who is really affected is the surname Li.
"So, we, the Li family, have hundreds of people in total, so we should give way to the Gu family?"

"If I agree, my ancestors will have to come and take me away tonight!"

"This matter is unacceptable in my family anyway. I can't possibly agree to it!"

As expected, as Zhang Laoba started to instigate, those families with the surname Li began to speak out in opposition.

The village chief sat there listening to these opposing voices, his eyelids twitching with anger.
These dicks
When asked to pay, some of them cried poor and some acted miserable.

Now some people are willing to pay the biggest price, but others are unwilling to pay the least.
If it was something else, he could still use his status as village chief to suppress it, but when it came to repairing the ancestral hall, he really didn't dare.
Although it is a new society, the rural areas still attach great importance to things like incense and sacrifice. If I dare to make decisions for them, I guess someone will dare to come to my house to make trouble. By then, not only will the ancestral tablets of the [Gu family] not be placed in the first place, but the tablets of my own ancestors will be burned.
Gu Jianguo listened to the opposition around him and his face looked a little unhappy.
He never thought that his family was willing to pay 200 million just to place the ancestral tablet in the center position, but this group of people would still disagree.
Gu Heng looked at his father's expression and knew what he was thinking. He still had a calm smile on his face.
Then he helped Gu Jianguo up and said, "Dad, let's go home."

Gu Jianguo also knew that his dream of bringing honor to his family was difficult to achieve.
My son has done his best. I can only blame myself for underestimating the shamelessness of these so-called villagers.
After helping Gu Jianguo up, Gu Heng smiled and said to the group of villagers who were staring at his family of three: "Since everyone is willing to save money for me, I will reluctantly accept your kindness.

I will not donate the 200 million yuan, and our Gu family will not interfere in the renovation of the village ancestral hall. You can place the spirit tablets however you want, it has nothing to do with me."

Gu Heng said this and walked towards the village committee compound with his parents.

Gu Jianjun's family now followed Gu Heng's instructions completely. When they saw Gu Heng leaving, the couple also picked up a bench and followed behind.
"Does your Gu family not even want their ancestors anymore? That's right, they already drive multi-million dollar cars, why do they still need those poor ancestors?"

Seeing Gu Heng's family being driven away, Zhang Laoba was so happy that he couldn't help but start to mock them.

Can Xu Hong, with her violent temper, tolerate this?

Just as he was about to start cursing, he was stopped by Gu Heng.

Gu Heng still had that gentle smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Zhang Laoba, your ears are not working well, right?
Didn't you hear what I just said? Since some people disagree, I will build a small ancestral hall next to my house to worship the spirit tablets of my ancestors. It's just a matter of spending some money. I'm going to spend five or six million to build a house for my parents. What's the harm in adding a few million?
I don't need those millions.

What you just said is also right. Our Gu family's ancestors should be worshipped in another place. What level are your poor ancestors from Zhang Laoba's family? Should they be placed in the same ancestral hall as our Gu family's ancestors?"

The last sentence was so insulting that it made Zhang Laoba's face turn green with anger.
But he couldn't even refute it.
They all have poor ancestors, but at least they have a promising descendant, while Zhang Laoba's family still has to beg for food in the fields. Haha.
As if he felt that his words had too wide an impact, Gu Heng continued to explain to the villagers, "I am willing to donate 200 million yuan to benefit our Anping Village. You all watched me grow up. Now that I have the ability, I am willing to contribute more to this kind of good deeds.

But since some people can't stand others doing well, there's nothing I can do about it.

You can't blame me if you want to blame someone, blame those people who just disagreed."

After saying that, he walked out of the village committee compound with his family.
After Gu Heng left, the village committee compound became lively again.
Although the Li family retained the right to name the ancestral tablet in the center, Gu Heng's final murderous words directly triggered a conflict between the Li family and other surnames.
After all, for other surnames, whether the Gu surname or the Li surname is placed first, it doesn't make much difference, because it will definitely not be their turn anyway.
At this time, Gu Heng, who is willing to pay an extra 200 million, will definitely be more popular.
After all, if Gu Heng had more money, each of them would be able to save more than 10,000 yuan, which was a real benefit.
Now that Gu Heng was gone, someone immediately started to attack those who had disagreed just now: "You didn't let the Gu family pay, so now you Zhang Laoba and the surnamed Li have to pay for the 200 million. Anyway, I'm making this clear today, my family will only pay 1 for the renovation of the ancestral hall! I won't pay a penny more.

Don’t you have a large family? Why don’t you just build an ancestral hall with your own money?”

"I will only offer 1 yuan. If the problem cannot be solved, I will go and ask Gu Laosan for help. I will send the money to Gu Laosan's family and ask them to build a few more altars when they repair the ancestral hall. I will place the ancestral tablets in his ancestral hall for worship. Anyway, his family is rich now, and they will not be greedy for my ten thousand yuan!"

"Hey! This is a good idea. Didn't Gu Heng just say he wanted to build an ancestral hall? Can't we just go to his house?
Gu Laosan is a good talker, I will find a chance to talk to him."

The painting style shifted instantly
Just now, it was Gu Heng's family that was targeted, and no one stood up to speak for Gu Heng. But when Gu Heng turned the table over and stopped playing, Zhang Laoba and the surnamed Li immediately became unlucky.
Such is the complexity of rural people's hearts.
This is also why many people are unwilling to return to the village after they become rich.
It's not that they have forgotten their roots, but they just don't want to be disgusted by these bullshit things.

Gu Heng had no idea that his remarks had turned the village meeting into a complete joke, and he walked towards his home, talking and laughing along the way.

Looking at his father Gu Jianguo's frown, Gu Heng smiled and comforted him, "Dad, don't worry, I didn't say that in anger.

When I get home, I will call the construction company and ask them to design an ancestral hall, and then we can start construction on the ancestral hall and the house at the same time! I promise that the ancestral hall I have built will be more magnificent than the one in our village!"

In his eyes, all this money was spent to make Gu Jianguo happy.

It doesn’t matter whether you spend more or less, the system will reimburse you anyway.

Hearing this, Gu Jianguo's frown gradually relaxed.
He has been incompetent all his life, and now the thing he is most proud of is that he gave birth to a son, Gu Heng.
Listening to what Gu Heng said to Gu Jianguo, Xu Hong snorted unhappily: "These all cost money! I was already heartbroken when I spent five or six million to build a house, and now I have to spend several million to repair the ancestral hall. How much will this cost?

Son, tell your mother the truth, how much money did you make out there? "

Upon hearing this, Gu Jianjun and his wife, who were walking together with a bench, also pricked up their ears and listened.

If Gu Heng said that he had nearly 100 million in savings, he would have to tell countless lies to cover it up. He could only perfunctorily say, "I haven't calculated how much money I make, but I can earn the money to build a house for you two and repair the ancestral hall in a month, so don't think too much."

"Wow! So many?"

"Building the house and repairing the ancestral hall together would cost 18 million, right? You can earn that much in a month? That would be 100 million a year! With that much money, you would be on the Hurun rankings, right?"

Before Xu Hong could say anything, Gu Jianjun and his wife opened their mouths wide in shock.

The income that Gu Heng mentioned was completely beyond their imagination.
Ten million is an astronomical figure in their eyes, not to mention that Gu Heng said it was ten million a month.
"Uncle, you also know the Hurun Rich List? No wonder my dad always says you are the one who knows the most among your brothers and sisters.

But you're overthinking it. The lowest ranked person on the Hurun Rich List has tens of billions of dollars. How can I be qualified to be on that list with the little money I earn? "

Gu Jianjun immediately smiled proudly and said, "Oh, didn't Xinran say during her internship that she was in a Fortune 500 company and that her boss was a billionaire on the Hurun Rich List? I just searched it online."

If this flattery had been said by the former Gu Heng, Gu Jianguo would have been giving him face by just smiling.

But now that he knows that his nephew is not only rich, but also a billionaire, his mentality is completely different.

How can I not be happy when being flattered by a billionaire?

"Son, what are you doing out there to make so much money? Don't do what your uncle said,

Even if Xu Hong didn't say it, Gu Heng knew what it was.
A rural woman doesn't even know what 100 million means, let alone how to earn 100 million. She can only think in a negative direction.
Of course, Gu Heng couldn't confront her like he did with his uncle, so he could only explain with a smile: "I made money from speculating in foreign exchange futures, it's not illegal."

"What is foreign exchange futures?"

Seeing the old lady's attitude of asking questions until she gets to the bottom of it, Gu Heng felt a little hesitant.
These questions are easy to explain to Gu Xinran, but it would take several hours to explain to a middle-aged woman like me who didn't even graduate from elementary school and has never traveled far in her life.
Just as they were about to reach the door of their house, the sharp-eyed aunt saw two cars parked in the yard.
"Xiao Heng, your friend is here to see you?"

Hearing this, Gu Heng looked in the direction his aunt pointed and saw a red BMW parked next to his Bentley.
Gu Heng had a very deep impression of this BMW with a Shanghai license plate.
After all, it was the first collision I had with the car after I bought it.
"Brother! Third Mother and Third Uncle! You are back!"

Just as Gu Heng was staring at the car in a daze, a clear and joyful voice sounded from behind him.
The whole family turned around and saw Gu Xinran standing behind them with an excited look on her face. But it was only a glance, and everyone's eyes were looking at the beautiful figure at the side.
I don't know when, Lin Ran has dyed her wine red hair back to black.
Even her iconic red coat was changed to a light camel color, with a gray turtleneck sweater underneath, and an LV bag of the same color as the coat hanging in her hand.
There was a slight smile on his face.
She has both the dignified and lively temperaments.
Gu Jianguo, Xu Hong, and Gu Jianjun and his wife had never seen such a beautiful woman with such temperament in person except on TV.
In the countryside, you can only see girls who come back from working outside and dress a little bit in a Western style. You can hardly see girls like Lin Ran who have both temperament and appearance.
Just when Gu Heng was about to speak, Lin Ran walked up to him with a bright smile and winked at him implicitly.
Then he looked behind him, and politely glanced at Gu Heng's four elders one by one.
After seeing Xu Hong, her eyes lit up, she pushed Gu Heng aside, walked up to Xu Hong, smiled and spoke softly in Mandarin: "Hello, Auntie, my name is Lin Ran, and I'm Gu Heng's girlfriend.

I was planning to come back to see you with Gu Heng two days ago, but because I hadn't finished my work, I had to delay it for two days.

Now that I have finished my work, I rushed over right away. "

After Lin Ran finished speaking, everyone was stunned.
Gu Heng: "Is she so direct? Why not discuss it with me?"

Gu Xinran: "Director Lin has really become my cousin's wife?"

Xu Hong: "Is this my daughter-in-law?!"
