The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 4600

At this moment, we find ourselves at the old house of the Chen family.

This house is located in Sham Shui Po on Hong Kong Island. It is quite small, with only about 30 square meters of usable space. In a place like Hong Kong Island, where land is extremely valuable, having a house of this size is still more than what many people have.

In the past, people living in Kowloon Walled City often squeezed entire families of five or even eight into tiny rooms of less than 10 square meters. By comparison, the Chen family’s home in Sham Shui Po was considered relatively spacious and a step up from slum conditions.

Chen Zhaozhong grew up in this house. His father eventually found success selling roast goose, allowing the family to move to the busy city center of Hong Kong Island. Later, Chen Zhaozhong became a well-known manager, helping Liu Jiahui earn a lot of money while also making a good living for himself.

When Chen Zhaozhong left Hong Kong Island, his family was doing well. However, after he fell out with Lau Ka Fai, his whole family faced difficulties. It became hard for his younger siblings to find jobs, and their prospects for love and marriage were bleak. The family’s goose shop also suffered a significant decline in business.

For many years, Chen Zhaozhong worked hard to support his younger siblings’ education and take care of their parents. They ended up selling their townhouse to make ends meet. Thankfully, Chen Zhaozhong’s father was very sentimental, so they managed to hold onto this old house, giving the family a place to stay.

Chen Zhaozhong’s two younger sisters both married migrant workers on Hong Kong Island. This was mainly because local people knew about their brother’s issues with Lau Ka Fai and were hesitant to marry into the family.

On a brighter note, Chen Zhaozhong’s younger brother, Chen Zhaozu, has been luckier. His girlfriend, whom he has been dating for many years, has remained by his side.

have to help me keep it safe for now. I’m not sure when I’ll need it again.

The old house is home to Chen Zhaozu’s family of three and their elderly mother. It feels cramped, but Chen Zhaozu has made a special room for their mother and even put in a window air conditioner for her comfort.

When Chen Zhaozhong returned home unexpectedly, the tight space became even tighter. After they returned from paying respects to their father, their mother, feeling a bit embarrassed, said to Chen Zhaozhong, “Ah Zhong, it’s too crowded here. You should stay at the hotel next door tonight. It’s run by Uncle Liang, your childhood friend. My son Ah Cheng has been helping out at our house for years and often asks about you. Just stay there for one night. Tomorrow, I’ll ask Ah Zu to buy a bunk bed for my room so you can stay with me!”

Chen Zhaozhong quickly replied, “Mom, you don’t need to worry. I’ll spend the day with you and stay at the hotel at night for now. After a few days, I’ll get back to work.”

His mother looked worried, “You’ve come home after so many years. Don’t rush into work. Take some time to rest first!”

Chen Zhaozhong explained, “Mom, Young Master Ye has helped me a lot. While I still have some connections, I want to work for him. Most of his business is in the mainland, so if he needs me, I might have to go there.”

As he spoke, Chen Zhaozhong pulled out $30,000 in cash from his bag and handed it to his younger brother, Chen Zhaozu. “Azu, I haven’t saved much money over the years. I’ve given the store to Qiangzi, but I brought back this deposit. Please help me keep it safe for now.”

You can use this money to help with household expenses.
