Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The accumulation and abundance of funds have given Meng Youtian greater room for development.  The scale of the clothing factory has expanded, and the number of clothing styles it produces has increased; the toy company has built a new factory, and its varieties have increased to more than a dozen; the Haisha Company has new equipment and has greatly increased its strength. It has successively passed bidding and contracted a large number of sea goods.  sand supply, profits are also growing rapidly.

    This development model is not entirely in line with Meng Youtian's expectations, but the four wives are divided into three groups, each controlling an industry. This is a necessary balance. Conflicts can easily arise if one favors one over the other.  Moreover, Meng Youtian always felt guilty for accepting Xiaoman, so he had no choice but to make financial compensation as much as possible.

    The grabbing of money can make people addicted, but Meng Youtian is not a miser like Grandet, he prefers to enjoy it.  And while his wealth was rapidly accumulating, his psychology was also changing, and he became increasingly pessimistic about the previous ideal of being the first Chinese and the richest man in Asia.

    It¡¯s just a false name, it¡¯s just a cloud.  As long as you have enough money, the most important thing is to make yourself and your family feel happy.  Therefore, in May 1949, Meng Youtian bought a garden house in Repulse Bay for 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, and spent another 160,000 Hong Kong dollars on expansion and decoration.

    At that time, the outcome of the war of liberation in the mainland was a foregone conclusion. Some foreign businessmen were worried that Hong Kong would not be protected. Out of fear of the gcd, they began to withdraw their capital and move.  More than 600,000 Hong Kong dollars was a big number at the time, but Meng Youtian didn't think it was very expensive for this garden house.

    Repulse Bay is known as "the best bay in the world" and is also known as "Oriental Hawaii", a popular summer resort.  Meng Youtian liked the terrain there, which is close to the mountains and the sea; he liked the gentle slopes and long beaches with calm waves; he liked the clear water and fine sand.  pleasant weather.  The sun, the beach, and the sea water are all fascinating.

    With a garden house, it¡¯s natural to have a car. If you can afford a horse, why can¡¯t you afford a saddle?  In addition to the Ford Model T car that the seller gave as a gift when he bought the garden house, Meng Youtian also bought a Citroen 2cv that had just been launched in 1948. At the time, people commented at the auto show that it was "too ugly, too ugly."  Falling behind".  But no one knew that it would become an instant hit at the 1949 auto show.

    Cars are just means of transportation, but Meng Youtian¡¯s thinking is still very out of touch with the times.  I don't regard this thing as a status symbol.  Citro?n 2cv is cheap and durable, easy to drive, easy to maintain, can go on bad roads, has average speed and low fuel consumption.  These characteristics are very attractive to Meng Youtian.  Moreover, it is equipped with a roll-up canopy, the ancestor of the panoramic sunroof, which makes Meng Youtian very satisfied.

    From the middle class to the ranks of the rich, the time is a bit uncomfortable.  Meng Youtian bought a foreign-style house and a car.  Also hire people.  This made Arita feel very distressed.  I scolded the "prodigal son" for several days.

    The Ford Model T was driving on the road. Meng Youtian drove the car himself and accompanied Liu Feng to the hospital.  Custom-made prosthetic eyes have arrived, and Liu Feng's "Pirates of the Caribbean" look is about to be a thing of the past.  On the one hand, it was obvious that he took this matter seriously and wanted to please Liu Feng; on the other hand, he also wanted to stay away from my mother's scolding and have some peace and quiet for a while.

    Xiao Man is most interested in these four-wheeled guys. She will ask the driver to teach her when she has time. It is estimated that it will not be long before she can drive to the factory alone.  Liu Feng also thought driving was very interesting, but Meng Youtian was determined not to allow it.  Although the word "clear at a glance" is included in the idiom, when driving, it is safer to see the road with two eyes.

    As for Zicuckoo, she is finally pregnant with a baby. Both Tian Niang and she take this very seriously. They have stopped going out casually for a long time and have settled down to rest at home.  As for Axiu, she is still so calm and virtuous, quietly taking care of the house and handling everyone's relationships well.  But in terms of image, Xiaoman continued to encourage her, and she also changed a lot. She was no longer a village girl.

    "Did our mother just talk about you again?" Liu Feng couldn't drive, so she could only enjoy the feeling of riding in the car. Looking at the scenery passing by outside the window, she said with some schadenfreude: "Did you get beaten? Your forehead seems to be red!  "

    "I'm so old, I can still get beaten by my mother." Meng Youtian smiled and said with some dissatisfaction: "You guys are really unloyal. You obviously like the bungalow and garden very much, but no one said a word to me.  Everyone please obey my mother and let me fight alone."

    "We are daughters-in-law, how can we compare with a son like you." Liu Feng smiled happily and said, "Actually, my mother also likes this big house, but she thinks it costs a bit too much."

    "As long as you are happy, I don't care how much money you spend." Meng Youtian reached out and patted Liu Feng's leg. He hesitated and said, "Well, my mother didn't listen to my advice and insisted on changing the small garden into  Vegetable patch.¡±

    Liu Feng frowned, sighed softly, and said, "Just grow vegetables. As long as my mother is happy and has a job, she doesn't have to worry about ruining the old man's life."

    ¡°I¡¯m embarrassed that you¡¯re so reasonable.¡± Meng Youtian smiled bitterly and said:?: "In this way, after we go to the hospital, we will go buy flower pots, buy a lot of flower pots, and then tomorrow we will dig out the flowers and plant them in the flower pots, and place them in a circle around the building. I think they will look good, what do you think?  Woolen cloth?"

    "This is a good idea, you are smart." Liu Feng smiled and nodded, "Go to the market and buy some other flower seeds, but they are all just as monotonous."

    "No problem, I will stay with you all day." Meng Youtian stretched out his stupid hand again, touched his hands and legs, and said with a wicked smile: "How about we go to the hotel and get a room¡ª¡ª"

    "Go." Liu Feng pinched Meng Youtian's hand, blushing on his face, and said angrily: "Drive well and don't touch him."

    "Haha." Meng Youtian smiled happily and moved his hand to the steering wheel.

    This kind of life is the dream life, and Meng Youtian is becoming more and more relaxed now.  Because he no longer needs to do many things personally, middle-level leaders are fully able to maintain normal production in the factory.  And having a bungalow, a car, and four wives is not called happiness, so what is happiness?

    The two arrived at Sai Ying Pun Hospital, followed the appointment, went directly to the doctor, and successfully fitted Liu Feng with customized prosthetic eyes shipped from the United States.

    "It looks good, just as good-looking as when we were together." Meng Youtian took Liu Feng and stood in front of the big mirror, looking at the complete image in the mirror, he couldn't help but sigh.

    Liu Feng's expression was very complicated. She looked at the image in the mirror without saying a word for a long time. After a while, she turned to Meng Youtian and smiled brightly. She threw herself into Meng Youtian's arms and held her tightly.

    The loss of appearance is an eternal pain in the heart of a young woman. Although Meng Youtian never mentioned it and several sisters took it for granted, it was not until today that Liu Feng's heartache was healed and she regained her original self-confidence.
