Reborn in the 1970s

Speaking of the grudge between Chen Pan and Wang Dabao, we have to start from when Chen Pan returned to the village at the beginning of this year.

Chen Pan's father, Chen Kang'an, was a big landlord before the founding of the People's Republic of China. At that time, 80% of the farmers in Houling Village rented her family's land.

Half of the houses that the villagers of Houling Village live in now were built by the Chen family. The land they are farming now is also the original ancestral property of the Chen family.

Houling Village can be said to be the territory of the Chen family. The Chen family's ancestral hall and the land temple built by the Chen family are still built on Ling'er Mountain.

In the first few years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, because of Chen Kang'an's generous donation of land, the villagers of Houling Village were all grateful to the Chen family.

At that time, when people mentioned the Chen family, they would give a thumbs up, sincerely praise the Chen family as a loyal, righteous and kind family, and call Chen Kangan a great good man.

After a long time, the group of households that had received the Chen family's kindness in the past grew old, and children like Wang Dabao, who were born in the new era and accepted new ideas, grew up, and everyone's impression of the Chen family was not as good as before.

Wang Dabao, who was once a top student, was particularly disgusted with the Chen family's practice of seeking fame and winning people's hearts.

In the eyes of Wang Dabao and others, Chen Kangan's donation of land in the past was purely a self-protection to survive, and it was not a great favor at all. It was not worthy of their gratitude at all.

What they really had to be grateful to was the country, and it had nothing to do with the Chen family. In that situation, if Chen Kangan had not taken the lead in donating land and actively responded to the call of the country, he, a 17-year-old head of the family, would not have been able to protect the huge family business of the Chen family.

The old lady of the Chen family was a dandy who was greedy for women and lustful. He did not squander the family business of the Chen family because he married a capable and good daughter-in-law.

When she was 20 years old and her eldest son was killed by Grandpa Chen's concubine, Grandma Chen was ruthless and sidelined Grandpa Chen. Then, as a woman, she not only protected the ancestral property of the Chen family, but also made the Chen family bigger and stronger.

Grandma Chen was a heroine, but she was too sentimental.

When her eldest son died, she was injured. Later, she gave birth to Chen Kangan with difficulty, but she was always sick.

One year before the founding of the People's Republic of China, after Chen Pan's uncle who participated in the revolution died, Grandma Chen could not bear the blow and passed away a month after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

At that time, Grandma Chen was only 39 years old, and Chen Kangan was only 17 years old, and they had just managed the family business. If he had relied on himself and his father who was only a hindrance, there would be no Chen family now if he didn't know the current situation.

Because they understood the power of it, Wang Dabao and his ilk were not grateful for the land donated by the Chen family. Not only were they not grateful, they also felt that the Chen family, who had oppressed their family, was very hateful.

The older generation was originally thinking about the past and didn't want to listen to the nonsense of the younger generation.

But everyone saw the series of changes that began in 1967, and since then everyone's attitude towards the Chen family has become more and more subtle.
