Chapter 1167 1169【Selling ancestral property】
Apart from coaching techniques in pharmaceutical factories and teaching Wing Chun in martial arts schools, Xiang Nan’s remaining energy is basically focused on his wife and children.
In addition to eating, sleeping, and chatting with his wife, he also goes shopping, attends cocktail parties, and dances with her.
Xiang Nan is now a well-known figure in Macau.
Firstly, his boxing skills are superb and he can defeat one against a hundred, which is really impressive; secondly, his Renji Dan has a miraculous effect in treating cholera. Because of his free medical services, thousands of people in Lingnan survived. This also made him famous, not only as a miracle doctor, but also as a great benevolent person.
Because of this, local people in Macao have interacted with him one after another, including many well-known people.
?Although the local people in Macau live in poverty, suffering from the abuses of pornography, gambling, drug abuse, oppression by Portuguese colonists, and extortion by gang forces, the upper class still lives a luxurious and drunken life.
?For example, the Fu family and the Gao family, who are engaged in the gambling industry, have a monopoly on the gambling industry in Macau, and therefore make a lot of money every day and make huge profits. Wealth comes in like flowing water from the Yangtze River, and wealth goes away like wind and clouds. Ill-gotten gains come quickly and don’t bother you when you spend them.
Therefore, Macao’s upper class society often has drinking parties and dances.
And Zhang Yongcheng came from a famous family, after Zhang Yinheng, Minister of Foreign Affairs. Because of this, she likes, is very adaptable and comfortable with the life of the upper class.
This can be seen from the fact that she likes to dance in "Ip Man 3".
Xiang Nan knew what she was thinking, so whenever he was invited to a cocktail party or dance, he would take her there and happily dance with her, which made Zhang Yongcheng very happy.
…
"Husband, how can you dance?" Zhang Yongcheng couldn''t help but asked in surprise when he saw Xiang Nan dancing so well.
"I know you like to dance. In order to avoid showing timidity, you secretly asked someone to teach you." Xiang Nan explained with a smile.
“Husband, you are so kind to me.” Zhang Yongcheng smiled happily after hearing this.
Previously, Ye Wen only focused on practicing martial arts and competing with friends, and did not particularly care about her and her son. She rarely pays attention to what she and her son think, do, and like.
But in the past few months, he seemed to have had an enlightenment and stayed with her and her son every day. She is no longer as obsessed with martial arts as before, which really makes her happy.
"You are my wife. If I am not good to you, who can I be good to?" Xiang Nan said with a smile.
In the movie, Zhang Yongcheng can be called a good wife. Although she didn''t like her husband fighting, she never stopped him and silently supported him behind the scenes.
I share the joys and sorrows with Ip Man, no matter whether he is poor or rich, he has no complaints. It can be said that she is a virtuous, kind, gentle and considerate person. If she has such a wife, what more could a husband ask for.
?It is a pity that although Ip Man was devoted to Zhang Yongcheng and did not take concubines or recruit tricks, he still cared too little about Zhang Yongcheng. So that when you lose it, you will regret it.
So, Xiang Nan wanted to make up for her and treat her better. This naturally made Zhang Yongcheng very happy.
…
Xiang Nan also taught his son Ye Zhun seriously.
In the movie, Ip Man has never cared much about his son''s study and life, so the relationship between father and son was once very tense.
Comparatively, Xiang Nan is much more attentive to the training of the next generation.
Not only does she accompany him to do his homework every day, but he is also willing to teach his son English, Chinese, mathematics, history, politics, geography, and even music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
In addition, I often play with my son, play games with him, and buy him toys. He coaxed Ye Zhun to become closer and closer to him, and the relationship between father and son was harmonious.
…
?In the third or sixth year of his life, Xiang Nan took the time to return to Fashan Mountain, preparing to sell all the Ye family''s mansion and Ye family''s fertile land. His behavior was unanimously opposed by the Ye clan.
Because in their view, selling the ancestral property is what a prodigal does.
The Ye family mansion has a history of sixty years. It was built by Ye Wen''s great-grandfather. The Ye family''s farmland was bought by ancestors of the past generations, diligently and diligently, acre by acre, but now it is being sold, which is really bad.
"A question, your pharmaceutical factory is doing well now and you are not short of money. Why are you selling your family property?"
"Do you know what your great-grandfather said when this house was built? He hoped that the descendants of the Ye family could thrive in this mansion. Now you are selling it, how can you be worthy of it? Grandpa?"
“Awen, the ancestral property cannot be sold. Even if it breaks the heavens, it cannot be sold. It must not be sold.”
The elders of the Ye family all blocked the way.
"Uncles and brothers, there is a reason why I sold my house and my ancestral property. Please listen to me." Xiang Nan waved his hand and explained, "I have established a foundation in Macau, and I can''t take care of it in Faoshan. In order to avoid It''s abandoned and I have no choice but to sell it. If my uncles and brothers are willing to take over, I''d be willing to give it a 50% discount."
Hearing what he said, the faces of the clan elders who had been strongly opposed immediately changed their expressions.
Bought the Ye family''s mansion and the Ye family''s fertile land at half the price, which was a huge bargain. Nowadays, the price of good paddy fields in Faoshan Mountain is ninety silver dollars per mu; and the price of medium paddy fields is sixty silver dollars per mu.
Xiang Nan owned 560 acres of paddy fields, worth about 40,000 silver dollars. If discounted in half, that would be twenty thousand silver dollars. Whoever is willing to take over will get a free advantage of 20,000 yuan.
No one would care about such a big temptation.
For a time, those who originally wanted to persuade Xiang Nan to leave his ancestral property changed their minds.
“A question, are you really willing to sell it at half price?”
“I want to ask, do all the fields, including this big house, have to be sold at half price?”
“Are you true to your word?! You won’t change again, will you?”
?Everyone asked one after another.
Xiang Nan nodded, "A gentleman''s words are hard to follow, but I, Ye Wen, will never go back on my words."
??If he doesn''t sell this house now, it will be occupied by Japanese people in the future. Even after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War and the Japanese were driven away, this mansion might not return to his hands. It would probably be occupied by the Kuomintang government in the name of going against the grain.
?Just like in "Ip Man 2", if Ip Man takes back his ancestral home, he will not be so poor that he opens a martial arts gym on the rooftop, and the whole family will worry about not having enough money.
So if you can sell it now, sell it, and take back a little bit.
Sold at half price, not only to silence the tribesmen and prevent them from nagging anymore, but also to get the money back faster.
After all, Faoshan will fall in another year, so he doesn''t have much time to write ink.
Hearing what he said, the clan elders couldn''t help but look happy, and they were all interested in the Ye family''s mansion and the Ye family''s fertile land.
…
"Uncles and brothers, I will only stay in Fashan for seven days. If you are interested in buying, please come to the inn to see me, first come, first served." Xiang Nan added, "After this time, I will return to Macau. After all, There are still a lot of things going on there. When the time comes, if anyone wants to buy it, they will have to look for me over there, and the price will not be what it is now.”
After saying that, he stood up and left the ancestral hall.
After he left, everyone looked at each other, and then they all went home to raise funds and prepare to make a fortune.
