At this moment, the Chen family’s old house.
It is an old house in Sham Shui Po on Hong Kong Island, which translates into an actual usable area of just over thirty square metres.
In Hong Kong Island, a land of inches, owning a house of more than thirty square metres was already more than many people could afford.
In the Kowloon Walled City back then, countless families with five or even eight members were crammed into a coffin room of less than ten square metres, compared to the Chen family’s house in Sham Shui Po, which was already considered out of the title of a slum.
It was here that Chan grew up as a child, and it was only when his father made a fortune in roast goose that the family moved to the bustling city centre of Hong Kong Island.
He became a well-known professional manager on Hong Kong Island and helped Liu Jiahui to make a lot of money and earned a lot of money himself.
When Chan left Hong Kong, his family was well-off, but because he had offended Lau Ka Fai, his whole family was involved. His younger siblings had difficulty finding jobs, and even his love and marriage were greatly affected.
Fortunately, Chen’s father was so nostalgic that he did not sell the old house in Sham Shui Po even after he had become rich, so the family still had a place to stay in the end.
Both of Chan’s sisters, without exception, were married to migrant workers on Hong Kong Island, and the reason for this was that no one dared to marry them as it was known locally that their brother had offended Lau Ka Fai.
Chen Zhao Zhong’s younger brother, Chen Zhao Zu, was lucky enough to have a girlfriend who had been in love with him for many years, and the two of them had to overcome all the difficulties before they could make it work.
Although it was already very crowded, Chen Zhaozu gave his mother a separate room and installed a window air conditioner so that she could have a place to stay.
However, the sudden return of Chen Zhaozhu made the cramped house stretched to its limits.
When the family returned from paying respects to Chen’s father, the old lady said to him with some shame, “Ah Zhong, the house is too crowded, so tonight you can stay in the hotel next door. Tomorrow, I will ask Joe to buy a bunk bed to replace the one in my room, and then you will share a room with me!”
Chen Zhao Zhong said, “Mum, you don’t have to bother, I’ll stay with you during the day and stay in a hotel at night, after these few days, I’ll go to work.”
The old lady said heartily, “It’s not easy for you to come home after so many years, so don’t rush to work right away, take a good rest first!”
Chen Zhaozhong explained, “Mum, Young Master Ye has helped me so much, while I still have a little bit of power, as long as he doesn’t mind, I plan to work for him in the future, his business is mostly in the Mainland, if I am needed, I may go to the Mainland to work.”
