In 1994, "The God of Wealth Arrives" was still playing in the streets and alleys, and the demolition notice of Nihe Village was posted at the door of Shen's house.
Shen Yue was 8 years old at the time, wearing two braids. She was picking up scrap steel bars at the demolition site and selling them for money. She was chased and beaten three streets by her mother.
Her mother, Wang Guifang, sells tofu in the market. The first thing she did after receiving the demolition money was not to deposit it in the bank, but to expand her tofu stall.
Her father, Shen Jianguo, drove a tractor. He squatted at the door and smoked all night, and then drove out as usual the next day.
Her grandfather Shen Laowang, 68 years old, bought himself an electric tricycle that day and took the old ladies to the market.
Relatives came after smelling it: "Dajiang, don't forget your family when you get rich!"
Her mother slapped the tofu on the board and said, "When my family Jianguo was laid off, did any of you ever borrow a penny?"
Shen Yue silently took out a small notebook, which read - "Shen Yue Bank, only deposits, no loans, no need to talk."
At that time, she thought that this would be the only time in her life.
Who knows...
In 2001, her mother's tofu factory was demolished again.
In 2010, her grandfather's self-built house was also demolished.
In 2018, the last old residential land in Nihe Village will still be demolished.
In 2035, even the home where she has lived for decades will be demolished.
Other people's houses fell flat after being demolished once, but Shen Yue's house was demolished five times. The more they were demolished, the busier and busier they became.
This is a story about money and not a story about money.
This is a family, five demolitions, and forty years.
The God of Wealth has arrived, the God of Wealth has arrived, good intentions will be rewarded...
This time, the God of Wealth is really here.
