When Ye Chen and his group arrived, only his eldest uncle was home; his two younger cousins ​​and aunt were not there.

After all, they have jobs, unlike Ye Chen, who is unemployed and wanders around aimlessly.

Today is a workday, so it's normal for him not to be home. It's actually a bit strange that Ye Chen is here at this time.

The eldest uncle brewed tea for them, and everyone chatted about everyday things.

My uncle doesn't know much about cars, and these days almost every household has one, so he just offered a few compliments and didn't talk much about cars.

With Ye Chen, a junior, present, the conversation naturally turned to him.

This was also why Ye Chen didn't like visiting relatives in the past; every time they talked, it was always the same old stuff.

Some questions were asked the year before last, last year, and will be asked again this year; in short, they are asked every year.

It seems impolite not to answer, but if you do answer, people might not remember.

Ask again next time we meet...

In short, he just talks, and it goes in one ear and out the other.

Ye Chen didn't know what others thought, but he didn't really like this way of talking.

However, since he was already there, Ye Chen calmly drank his tea, occasionally offering a few words of agreement.

When the topic of Ye Chen's job came up, his uncle asked, "Ye Chen, what company did you say you worked for?"

Ye Chen clearly remembered that his uncle had asked this question once before.

Without waiting for Ye Chen's reply, his uncle continued, "These days, jobs without a permanent position are unstable. You should take advantage of your youth and try to get one!"

Ye Chen smiled and nodded: "Indeed, the job is stable. My cousin will never have to worry about money again once he gets a job at the bank!"

Hearing Ye Chen say this, his uncle was quite happy and laughed, "Working at a bank is busy, but the income is indeed considerable, so you should hurry up and take the civil service exam; it's really much better than working for someone else!"

Ye Chen agreed and quickly changed the subject.

He had taken the exam once before after graduation, but failed. Later, due to financial constraints, he stopped pursuing this path.

However, in front of elders, the response will definitely be: "Yes, yes, you're all right!"

Mother Ye chimed in, "I heard Zhenhua's doing some kind of livestreaming; he must be making a lot of money!"

The eldest uncle smiled even more broadly; his son's success made him proud.

"Hey, young people are just dabbling in things, who knows what he'll do? But earning two or three hundred thousand a year is a piece of cake. He's just not cut out for studying, otherwise he should take the civil service exam for stability!"

Although my uncle said that, he couldn't hide the pride on his face at all.

It seems my little cousin has indeed made some money from live streaming.

"Ye Chen, how much do you earn a year? Do you make 10?" The uncle shifted the topic to Ye Chen again.

Ye Chen smiled and said, "My two cousins ​​are so outstanding, Uncle, please don't compare yourself to them. It'll only cause you internal injuries!"

Yes, that's right, my uncle is prone to injury.

According to his uncle, Ye Chen felt inferior because of his low salary.

My uncle shook his head: "If you don't even have 10, I advise you to take the civil service exam as soon as possible. After all, you were such a good student back then, you could enroll in a class. You could ask Zhenxiong for advice and ask him to recommend a trading institution to you!"

While the group was chatting, the eldest aunt rushed back, shouting as she ran into the yard, "Something terrible has happened!"

Everyone looked towards the courtyard.

The eldest uncle stood up and said, "My eldest sister and the others are here. What are you doing, rushing around like that!"

"Oh, eldest sister, brother-in-law, you've arrived! Please have some tea!" Aunt forced a smile and greeted Mr. and Mrs. Ye.

Then she pulled her uncle aside and whispered, "Something terrible has happened!"

"What's the rush? The sky isn't going to fall. Tell me what happened?" Uncle said calmly.

"My second son was reported for selling counterfeit goods. Now his account has been blocked, and his payments and deposits have been frozen. It seems he has to pay three times the price for the counterfeit goods, which is a huge sum of money. What should we do?" My aunt said anxiously.

Upon hearing this, the eldest uncle immediately became agitated: "What? Selling counterfeit goods? Didn't that brat tell us it was genuine? How come it's counterfeit now?"

"Genuine products have thin profit margins, only about 10-20% profit per pair of shoes. Counterfeit products, on the other hand, can be sold at a lower price, with a profit margin of 70-80%. So, the second brother listened to others and bought counterfeit goods..."

"Sigh, this isn't the time to talk about this. I heard the second son's sales exceeded one million. If they get investigated, he could face imprisonment. What should we do?"

My aunt was completely panicked and didn't know what to do.

The eldest uncle remained silent for a long time, rubbing his hands back and forth, looking somewhat at a loss.

Ye Chen and his two friends naturally overheard their uncle and aunt's conversation. They looked at each other in bewilderment, wondering how things had suddenly turned into a conversation about selling counterfeit goods.

My uncle was all smiles, and now this has happened.

Today doesn't seem like a good day for visiting others.

When I went to my aunt's house, the creditors came knocking.

When I visited my uncle's house, my younger cousin was caught selling counterfeit goods on his live stream, which led to his downfall.

Ye Chen said that it really had nothing to do with him, and that it was all a coincidence!

Even if they don't come, the creditors will still come knocking.

Selling counterfeit goods for too long will eventually lead to exposure.

"Say something! Stop pretending to be mute! What should we do? Zhenhua is in a real hurry. Many consumers are coming to us demanding a refund plus three times the compensation!" Aunt urged.

"I want to say something, but what can I say? What can I do? Since it's happened, we should refund or compensate them. We should just pay to settle things peacefully. This beast hasn't even mastered his skills yet, and he's already trying to sell counterfeit goods!" Uncle cursed irritably.

"But we have to pay compensation. The payment for the goods plus the deposit isn't enough. It seems there's still a shortfall of over a million." Auntie was so anxious that she kept stamping her feet.

"That kid has made some money in the last two years, hasn't he? He should figure out what he did wrong!" The eldest uncle was so angry that his liver hurt.

What could he do if he didn't have enough money? He simply couldn't come up with that much money.

"He told us to sell this house, and if there's any money left over, we can buy another apartment!" Auntie said weakly, not daring to look at Uncle's reaction.

The eldest uncle's chest heaved, and he almost choked with anger.

After a long silence, the eldest uncle murmured, his lips trembling, "That unfilial son! How dare he say such things? He must have earned at least a million over the years!"

"Don't you know what kind of person your son is? He earns a lot but spends a lot too. He uses all the remaining money to pay for goods, and now he's completely broke! Where would he get so much money?"

"He also said that you are the legal representative on the business license, and we can decide for ourselves whether to sell the house or not. If it's not enough to cover the losses, you'll be the one going to jail!" Auntie dropped another bombshell.

The eldest uncle stumbled and leaned against the wall: "So that's what you were doing when you took my ID? You knew something would go wrong, so you used your own father as a scapegoat? Fine, fine!"
