Siheyuan: Starting to work in the street office

Should I take this opportunity to tell it?

There are a lot of good things in the Zhongshan space now. If we take them all out, it won’t be a small matter.

He would be a little unwilling to just leave it in the space and gather dust.

But it is difficult to clean up everything.

"Dad, my family background is actually very transparent, and I don't have any background, but... you know the abandoned yard I bought in Heizhima Hutong, it used to be the residence of Kui Jun, a minister in the late Qing Dynasty. Kui Jun was not only the Minister of Justice, the Minister of Personnel, and the Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but also one of the four richest men in the city at that time. His property was countless, and I found some of it by chance."

Zhong Shan decided to say what he could say. After all, there were too many things in the space. It was up to him to clear them up, and he would never be able to do so in his lifetime.

If the evidence cannot be cleared up in the past few years, the inspections will become more stringent in the future.

Afterwards, Zhongshan recounted how he had exchanged goods from these merchants at low prices through Loubancheng during those years.

Song's father was listening to Zhongshan's words attentively, and Song's mother and Song Lili were also attracted.

"So, you still have a lot of good stuff in your hands?"

Song Lili said that Zhong Shan had never mentioned these things before, and now they sound a bit legendary.

When Zhong Shan heard his daughter-in-law asking the question, his father-in-law and mother-in-law also looked at him curiously.

"Yes, there are indeed quite a few. The group of people who had a good relationship with Lou Bancheng back then, I dare not say anything else, but in terms of money, they were among the best in the city. The things they had were naturally good things, and they couldn't take them away. More than half of them are in my hands now, but later I felt that I had collected too many things, so I stopped."

Even though I was mentally prepared after hearing the previous words, I was still shocked when I heard Zhong Shan say it with my own ears.

I had always thought he was just playing around, but I didn't expect it to be such a big deal.

After Zhong Shan finished speaking, he thought about it and still didn't mention Wang Jingrui.

Just find the source of these things in your space, there is no need to explain them all.

What's more, Wang Jingrui's case also involves Zhong Dahai and Hou Saner, who are fine, so there is no need to expose them as well.

Besides, he thought he was doing it quite covertly. Even if someone was interested and could find some abnormal behavior of his, in this era, there would be no evidence that he did it.

Besides, it is not certain that anyone will pay attention to this matter. Anyway, there is still Ma Xianhai who will never speak up to take the blame.

But even these are not a small number.

After hearing this, Song's father stared at his son-in-law for a while.

"So, what are you going to do with these things?"

Zhong Shan smiled bitterly.

"What else can I do? When the policy really changes and I can start my own business, I will have a stable income and I can take it out bit by bit. As for the money, I can only take it slowly and launder as much as I can."

After listening to this, Song's father nodded and said nothing more.

Fortunately, he has passed that stage, otherwise, I would be worried about him if I knew about it.

Thinking of this, Song's father looked at his son-in-law again. Looking at the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, he didn't expect that he had become a hidden tycoon.

Although I don't know how much money Zhong Shan has exactly, but based on what he said, he is probably one of the top few in the city, if not the best.

He had also heard of Kui Jun, one of the four richest men in the late Qing Dynasty. In addition, Zhongshan had bought up so many collections of several generations of merchants. Compared with them, these houses were nothing.

We talked for a while at my father-in-law's house, and when we got home in the evening, the children were all asleep in the middle of the night.

"Brother Zhongshan, you kept this a secret so well that you didn't tell me a single word."

Zhongshan heard some grievance and dissatisfaction in his daughter-in-law's tone.

When Zhong Shan talked about this today, she guessed that this would happen. Her husband had kept it from her for so many years. No one would feel comfortable with this.

But there is no way, these things can hardly be seen in the light.

"Lili, I'm just afraid that you'll worry. You know what it was like in the past few years. Telling you about it will only make you more worried. Besides, let alone you, I myself have selectively forgotten the existence of these things. It's only because the situation has changed in the past two years that I started to think about them."

After hearing Zhong Shan's explanation, although Song Lili still blamed Zhong Shan for hiding it from her, she also knew that it was the truth. Even if he told her in advance, it would only add to her troubles.

"Humph, you're just hiding it from me!"

Although I said this, I accepted this answer in my heart.

Zhong Shan looked at his wife's expression and hugged Song Lili.

"Wife, the children are all asleep, let's hurry up and have a third child."

"Oh, you..."

The house was not built quickly. It took almost a year to complete.

The main reason was that the cement was a bit difficult to work with, and Zhongshan had to use a lot of favors for this.

In 79, after the house was built, Zhongshan found several old carpenters, all of whom were experienced craftsmen, and began to decorate the interior of the hotel.

The style is Chinese. Zhongshan didn’t do anything too fancy, but it has some neo-Chinese style.

But this is not difficult at all for these old carpenters.

Watching the house change day by day and look more and more like a hotel, Zhongshan feels full of a sense of accomplishment.

The restaurant he had been dreaming of was finally built, and good news also came from the Song family.

My uncle is coming back.

Song Lili's elder brother Song Wenqing has been in the Northeast for so many years, and his son Song Yi has grown into a big man. He can get married in a few years.

The storm had gradually subsided, and Song's father finally used all his connections to try to transfer his son back.

Although the Song family’s resources are not much, they are enough to support one person. Moreover, they only have one son, so who else can they give them to?

If Zhong Shan can continue working in the street office, it would be no problem to give him some of these resources. Zhong Shan's parents are both gone, so it can be said that there is no difference between this son-in-law and his son.

Even though Zhongshan lost his job due to historical reasons and tried to get out of it, Song's father originally wanted to wait until the storm had passed and then use his connections to get him back to the street office.

After all, as a son-in-law, he is scheming, decisive, and has good methods. He is really suitable for this circle.

Unfortunately, ever since he learned about Zhongshan’s assets, Song’s father gave up the idea.

There are really too many. If you are a commoner, it's okay, no one will have the time to check you. But once you reach a certain position, you will attract more attention, and these things will become troubles.

After his hopes in Zhongshan were dashed, Song's father began to take care of his son's affairs.

Song Wenqing was still a young man when he passed away. Since he joined the army, he has spent less time at home.
