Chapter 679: Chapter 489: Entering the Magic City

An ordinary October.

Apart from the entertainment industry being in an uproar due to the national heartthrob.

A rage-inducing, utterly immoral event occurred in the rural hometown.

Madam Yang, who was over eighty years old this year, was remembered by Chen Pingsheng as a very kind old lady.

Having lost her husband early, she single-handedly raised four sons and one daughter.

But because she had worked too hard in her youth, she became unable to do any work in her old age.

...

Inconceivably, not one son was willing to take care of her; they all kept passing the responsibility to each other.

Finally, under the village’s mediation, the four sons agreed to each take turns looking after their mother for three months.

Such an agreement was even witnessed by the collective of the Wangcai Village committee, led by Chen Pingsheng’s father, who made them commit to it.

Yet, not even a year after the agreement was made, Madam Yang, who spent her life toiling to raise her sons, actually starved to death at the doorstep of one of her sons’ homes.

The village’s investigation revealed that that night, she went from her eldest son’s home to her second son’s.

And from the second son’s, she walked to the third son’s.

Her eldest son, having his mother-in-law’s birthday at his house and no place to spare,

Simply sent his own mother to the second son’s home.

The second son, because his care period had ended, outright refused to take on even one more day of caring for his elderly mother.

And sent her off to the third son’s house.

The third son felt that since the money went to the second son, he should bear more of the burden of their mother’s care.

Thus, Madam Yang died at the doorstep of her fourth son’s home.

She spent the entire night calling out the milk names of her sons, only to be starved to death.

This incident alerted the police station, and the village was furious.

The four sons all had their reasons and excuses; the old mother who raised five children couldn’t even find someone to collect her body.

Not to mention someone to handle her funeral.

Chen Pingsheng, who had been cared for by Madam Yang a bit when he was little, also rushed back to his old home in Wangcai Village on the 12th.

The four sons may think they did nothing wrong, the mistake was their old mother, unable to make money for them anymore.

Afterwards, it was with the village’s lead that Madam Yang finally had a burial.

After the incident, countless elders in the village collectively sued the four sons in court.

They must punish this kind of immoral and unfilial beast.

Everyone has to grow old in their lifetime.

Even Chen Pingsheng, who is wealthy, will be the same, let alone these ordinary old people.

Regardless of the outcome, these four sons are afraid they will have to bear the consequences under the collective petition of the village’s elders.

Wangcai Village has had rather good development over the years.

But the changes in the village are not limited to the economy; there’s the bride price, and increasingly more people who like to host banquets.

Not to mention marriages, births, and wedding and funeral ceremonies.

People just finished celebrating their mother’s fiftieth birthday, next year they celebrate their father’s fifty-second.

Another year passes, and they hold longevity celebrations for their grandparents.

If that was possible, they would probably want to hold a banquet for every chicken that laid an egg.

You might think these people crave the excitement.

That would be a grave misunderstanding; they clearly want to make money from the gift money.

As long as the food is average and there are many people,

A banquet can easily make at least ten to twenty thousand.

And those who attend the banquet, each household has to give at least three hundred yuan.

Because there’s money to be made, countless people host such events every now and then.

Not even the village notifications can stop it.

It’s hard to say that the countryside is still simple and unsophisticated, Chen Pingsheng has brought both his grandfather and relatives willing to go to Magic City.

All to Magic City.

If only one or two went, they might feel lonesome, and even in a bustling place, it’s not as good as returning to their roots in the old home.

But now that they’re all here, there won’t be any such gap.

The older generation definitely wouldn’t be used to living in large flats, and just so happened, he still had a super villa in Magic City worth over a billion.

It was bought early on, back then used for hosting trainee competitions, serving as a camp for them.

Now that it was vacated, it was perfect for Sir Chen as well as relatives from the old hometown to live in.

A French estate villa over three thousand square meters, not to mention housing a dozen people.

Even a hundred people wouldn’t feel crowded.

This courtyard was just right for Sir Chen and the others to spend their old age in.

This is the advantage of having lots of money, you can do whatever you want.

Chen Pingsheng also wanted to give all descendants of the Chen Family a heads up, any unfilial person

When your parents reach the day they can no longer work, if you’re not willing to be filial to them, don’t expect your own children to take care of you in your old age.

Only after Sir Chen and the others had settled down in Magic City did Chen Pingsheng bring Song Yanxi and the various relatives from the family to visit him.

Now, most of the relatives had moved to Magic City, with only his father still wholeheartedly serving as the village chief.

Peng Ying called every day, once she called, she would ask Mr. Chen to come over and quickly resign from the tiring village chief work.

What’s there to do, isn’t it better to enjoy life in Magic City?

Years have passed, and she’s thoroughly adapted to the hustle and bustle of the big city life.

If it were an ordinary family, they probably wouldn’t come over.

After all, houses in the city are expensive, and many elderly people come over mainly to take care of grandchildren for their family.

So that their children can go out to work.

Once the children grow up a bit more, they would move back to the countryside.

Most rural elders still prefer the spacious freedom of the rural air rather than squeezing into a small hundred square meters space with their sons and daughters.

Peng Ying certainly doesn’t have this trouble, nor does she live with her daughter-in-law.

Instead, she bought a big house with three bedrooms, two living rooms, two bathrooms, and double balconies together with Liu Fen in the Bund Community.

The two of them took care of Little Third, Chen Lu, over there.

If they wanted to stroll around anywhere, they also had a companion, didn’t they?

This time relatives from Wangcai Village came over, she would be lying if she said she wasn’t happy.

Sir Chen was also getting older; his days were numbered.

Whether or not a person is happy in their twilight years mainly depends on his children.

Chen Pingsheng also reminded Chen An’an to frequently visit her grandmother and not to think about playing all the time.

Chen An’an was still very obedient, agreeing promptly.

Er Piya went off with her own golden shovel to dig and plant vegetables over there.

No matter what she did in her muddled way, Sir Chen always felt gratified after seeing it.

This is old age; to have grandchildren by your side is called happiness.

Peng Ying also thought about bringing her own parents to Magic City to enjoy their old age, running to ask her son for his opinion.

Chen Pingsheng said: “Do you need to ask me if you want to bring your grandparents over? Just call them!”

“What I’m worried about is that it might trouble you if there are too many people!”

“What trouble could there be.”

Chen Pingsheng added: “Yanxi is planning to hire a few professional nurses for Sir Chen and others, and also arrange for some housekeepers to handle the daily chores over there.”

Peng Ying felt this wasn’t necessary, apart from Sir Chen who was over eighty and unable to do much.

There were still quite a few of her peers, just over sixty, who had no big problem taking care of themselves.

“Don’t think about saving money, now that so many people are living together, no one is willing to do extra work, it’s better to hire some housekeepers.”

“Alright, you arrange it. I’ll call your grandparents, they don’t have many years left, it’s nice for them to come here to Magic City and enjoy a few years of comfort.”

The thing that elder people fear the most is loneliness, everyone living together happens to solve this problem.

As for arranging a doctor to go there, that’s not necessary.

Doctors always advising against smoking and drinking, Sir Chen and the others, if they listened, instead of living another five years,

They probably could only hold on for one or two years.

Being older and told you can’t do this or that, might as well die earlier and ascend to heaven.

These words weren’t spoken by Chen Pingsheng, but were a pet phrase of his grandfather.
