Chapter 1990 Vanity is at work

What Chen Congjun said is indeed true.

Moreover, when the Chen family was not yet developed, they actually didn’t have much envy in their hearts. Instead, they felt that they were too high-profile and too ostentatious, and started to mess around with some money.

In local terms, it is treasure qi.

When Chen Jianghai saw everyone's reaction, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said gently:

"Yes, it's certainly understandable that you have money to build your own ancestral tomb.

But if you practice too luxuriously, you will be envied.

As the saying goes, too much is too little, and this is what we mean."

"The most important thing is to leave an impression on others - nouveau riche.

Honestly, I hate this word.”

“This is a derogatory meaning. What image do you think of when you hear this word?

Are you fat, big ears, rich and rich, and spending money like soil?”

"I don't want the Chen family to leave such an image for people outside, and even our next generation is branded."

"This basically negates all our efforts and efforts, making people think that our Chen family can develop completely by luck."

“But in fact, we are not.

But we have earned our rich life today with our own hands, hard work, sweat and wisdom."

“Of course, there is another reason for me.

You all know where I am now.

Business wars are like battlefields. If there is another situation similar to a price war with foreign companies, these things will become their means to attack me."

"And those unscrupulous media will also hype these things, and they like to report such gossip the most."

"The key is that with their urine properties, they will infinitely amplify some things and attract attention.

At that time, many real things will naturally be distorted and become dirty water and spilled on us."

"If you say it a little more exaggeratedly, if these are seen above, you will have some opinions about me."

"The trees are beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy them.

It’s really a big tree that attracts wind!”

"The more developed our Chen family is, the more low-key we have to be.

Because this is our own private matter, if it attracts public attention, it will not be beneficial to it, but will be subject to unreasonable accusations and attacks."

"There are many people in this world who are suffering from red-eye diseases. People who have conflicts of interest with us will use this to secretly shoot cold arrows."

"Anyway, we are all of our bloodlines. Remember, our Chen family is tied together, and they all prosper and lose together."

"We can handle private matters in a low-key manner, and do good things in a high-profile manner, so as to ensure that our Chen family will be prosperous forever."

The purpose of what Chen Jianghai said is to convince all the Chen family to change their previous ideas.

Of course, his words were not entirely groundless.

In fact, he has seen too many such examples.

For example, Ma Tian in the previous life is a lesson for the past.

After hearing Chen Jianghai's explanation, all the Chen family members present understood why Chen Jianghai had other opinions on this matter.

Perhaps some young people may not be able to understand the meaning, but elderly people like Chen Liye can fully understand Chen Jianghai's worries.

The reputation of nouveau riche is really unpleasant, and they are unwilling to let people point out and say this behind their backs.

"Jiang Hai, I think you are right, I support you."

Lin Wanqiu was the first to stand up and express support to her husband.

"Jiang Hai, is it because we think too simple, or is your long-term vision?"

At this moment, Chen Liye not only understood the truths that Chen Jianghai said, but also thought of the scene of moving the grave before.

He guessed that his son probably had the idea of ​​relocating the grave. Now, after hearing his remarks, he became more convinced of this speculation.

However, he had no intention of blaming Chen Jianghai, but instead felt that his son was really good at it.

As for whether it will affect the future fortune of the Chen family, he no longer cares.

If your son is so smart and cautious, he must be the one who conquers nature.

If all rely on Feng Shui to change your destiny, then what hope is there?

Although the ancestral tomb needs to be built, it cannot be too ostentatious and should be controlled within a certain range.

Chen Congjun and Chen Jiangong naturally understood this truth.

As for other Chen family members who were attending the auditors, they naturally had no objection to this situation and expressed their support for Chen Jianghai's approach.

"Jiang Hai, what you said makes sense, so let's follow your idea. If we build the ancestral tomb better, we don't need to make it so luxurious."

"I believe that my ancestors know each other in the spring, and I should be very happy to see that we are not wasting extravagantly."

“After all, there are many things that can’t be seen with the appearance.

Now, thinking about it, it’s a bit stupid to go to build archways or something.

They are all for outsiders to see, and those with discerning eyes will make jokes when they see it.”

Chen Jiangong's face flushed slightly and he said with a little ashamed.

Before, he was just thinking about how to be more glorious and how to glorify his ancestors. Now, thinking about it, it is actually his vanity at work.

He simply wanted outsiders to see the current grand scene of their Chen family.

After all, I had lived a hard life before, and I was more or less aware of some people.

Now that I finally developed, I naturally want to show off.

That's why he was so passionate about rebuilding his ancestral tomb.

Chen Congjun thought of something through Chen Jianghai's words, so after everyone else dispersed, he quickly found Chen Jianghai:

"Jianghai, repairing ancestral tombs is our family's private affairs. So is it a business to build the ancestral hall in the village?

The ancestral hall in our village has hardly been maintained in recent years and has long been dilapidated."

"Why do we use this time to repair the ancestral tomb, we will also repair the ancestral hall in Chenjia Village, and then donate money to renovate it in your name."

"This is doing good things for the village and can improve your prestige in Chenjia Village.

And I believe that people from the same clan will support it to increase the cohesion of our surname.”

Hearing Chen Congjun's words, Chen Liye and Chen Jiangong's eyes lit up.

This is also a kind of glorious family.

The village is called Chenjia Village, and most of the people have the surname Chen. They were a family a hundred years ago, and now they are getting closer and closer due to Chen Jianghai, and their interests are completely tied up.

"Uncle Second, you have learned quite quickly, but donating money for ancestral halls does not need to be in my name. I don't have much back to the village now, so it's useless to have a high prestige."

“It’s very necessary for you as the village chief.

Of course, this matter also includes my dad and my third uncle, and it is more appropriate to donate money to build it in the name of the three of you."

"In addition, as long as we are a person with the surname, those who are willing to contribute money and efforts cannot stop them.

This is not a ancestral hall for each household, but a ancestral hall for everyone in our village.”

Chen Jianghai analyzed to everyone.
