Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

"Where's Xiaochen? Where did he go?" Sister Xiuying asked, changing the subject.

"Oh, Xiao Chen has returned to Lucheng!" Mother Ye said with a smile.

"He went back to Lucheng? He didn't even drive back, did he? How did he get back?" Sister Xiuying asked, her face full of questions.

"Hey, the child's grown up, so we don't need to worry about him. Come in and sit down!" Mother Ye greeted the two of them.

Upon hearing that Ye Chen had returned to Lucheng, Ye Dikun lost interest.

He had actually wanted to chat with Ye Chen and deepen their relationship.

Now that Ye Chen has returned to Lucheng, it's pointless for a junior like him to stay here.

Mother Ye smiled and said, "Sister Xiuying, we're going to another place for the New Year. Could you please come over and help feed the livestock?"

As she spoke, Ye's mother took out another red envelope and stuffed it into Xiuying's pocket.

Sister-in-law Xiuying squeezed the red envelope and said politely, "Oh, Chunlan, you're being too formal. What kind of relationship do we have? Helping out is the least I can do. Why are you giving me a red envelope?"

"Hey, Sister-in-law Xiuying, you absolutely must accept this red envelope. One thing at a time, there's no reason to help for nothing!"

Mother Ye smiled and pressed down on Sister Xiuying's hand, preventing her from refusing.

Finally, Sister Xiuying accepted the red envelope with a smile!

"Hehe, leave it to me, I promise they won't go hungry!"

As they chatted, the conversation turned to Ye Chen.

"Chunlan, does Xiaochen own a traditional Chinese medicine clinic in Lucheng?" Sister Xiuying asked with a smile.

Although Ye's mother was somewhat surprised, how did Xiuying's sister-in-law know about this?

However, she didn't show any surprise, simply saying, "Yes, he opened a traditional Chinese medicine clinic. Ye Chen has been interested in medicine since he was a child, and under his grandfather's influence, he eventually decided to practice medicine!"

"Then you must be making a lot of money!" Sister Xiuying's eyes curved into crescent shapes.

"Well, who knows if it's good or not? But I'm taking less money from home now!" Mother Ye said with a smile, waving her hand.

Ye Dikun looked a little awkward when he heard this. Was this a direct challenge to him?

What's wrong with asking your family for money...?

Who says you can't ask your family for money after you start working?

Sister-in-law Xiuying chimed in, "That's great! Xiaochen's really doing well!"

Ye's mother narrowed her eyes slightly. The conversation was starting to veer off course. Was she about to talk about borrowing money?

Based on her years of experience, the next step in this situation would be to ask for a loan.

Sure enough, Sister Xiuying immediately added, "Dikun wants to buy a house in Lucheng, but he's still short 10 yuan for the down payment..."

Mother Ye hurriedly interrupted, "Oh, buying a house? That mortgage is a huge burden! You have no idea that Xiao Chen has taken on over a million yuan in mortgage debt behind our backs. Tsk tsk, oh dear, he's been carrying that debt for 30 years! It's terrifying to even think about. We're scrimping and saving right now, just in case we default on the payments one day!"

Ye's mother's words were obviously made up; she made them up on the spot using Chen Tingting's case.

Ye Chen didn't have a mortgage; he paid in full. What mortgage?

The thing that people in the village fear most is lending money. The atmosphere is different now than before. In the past, everyone would pay back on time, but now, let alone pay it back, they don't even mention it. So it's better not to lend money.

It's fine to lend a little for emergencies, but for high-end consumption, there's only one principle: don't lend!

Upon hearing Ye's mother's words, Xiuying's sister-in-law stopped abruptly, somewhat surprised: "Xiaochen bought a house too? When did that happen? I've never heard you mention something this big!"

I definitely can't ask them for money anymore. They've already bought a house, so where would they find spare money to lend?

Mother Ye sighed, "Sigh, the child is all grown up now. Such a big decision, and he doesn't even discuss it with the family before buying it. I only found out recently, and I'm already worried about it. Just think, a million-dollar mortgage! How much grain would we have to harvest in our fields? We couldn't earn that much money in our entire lives!"

Xiuying's face stiffened slightly, and she gave an awkward smile.

Ye Dikun couldn't help but ask, "Ye Chen has already bought a house, so how come he still has money to buy a car worth six or seven hundred thousand?"

Mother Ye shook her head: "What do you mean 600,000 or 700,000? It's a used car, just the exterior has been renovated, so it looks brand new. I didn't agree to buy a car in the first place, but his dad liked it, so we went along with it!"

Ye's mother could lie without batting an eye, and she could tell them very well.

In short, I can't borrow any money!

Ye Chen is also in a period of high financial need, so I won't lend him any money!

Why do you think others have money to lend you just because you've only been out of school for two years?

It's definitely not easy for anyone. If you need money, borrow from a bank. Don't try to scrape together money from various sources!

It's like they're making money by piecing things together and then not having to pay it back!

Ye Dikun didn't do anything by staying. After drinking a cup of tea, he took his leave.

His mother and Ye's mother were left there chatting.

The battle of wits between the two old foxes was quite fierce.

In the end, Xiuying's wife was unable to find an opportunity to borrow money and could only wait for the next time.

......

After returning to Lucheng, Ye Chen had nothing to do, so he thought about making an appointment to study the Enlightenment Stone.

The people there told him that someone was currently trying to comprehend it, and if he wanted to, he would have to wait until March after the new year.

Ye Chen didn't really care; for him, it didn't matter whether it was sooner or later, so it didn't matter how much time it took.

Time flies, and there's less than a week left until the Chinese New Year.

After their cooling-off period, my second uncle and aunt officially got their divorce certificate.

My second aunt also got what she wanted: a million-dollar fortune and a free life.

According to the previous allocation plan, the house belonged to my second aunt.

However, because of Tingting's loan to speculate in stocks, after deducting some debts and mortgage payments, the second uncle was left with only 150 million yuan.

Of course, each of Chen Tingting's second uncle and aunt needs to give her 1000 yuan a month for living expenses, as well as her daily expenses during her university life, until she graduates from university.

Although Chen Tingting is an adult, she is still studying and does not yet have the ability to live independently, so she still needs to pay child support.

Although outsiders might think the second uncle was at a disadvantage, the old man ultimately chose to make more concessions for what was once his family.

Everyone has their own decisions and choices, and there's nothing wrong with that.

This can be seen as my second uncle putting a period to his past.

He is now a free man again, and he even has 150 million in savings and a stable income!

The exciting second half of my life is about to begin.

Second Uncle is living a carefree life, but Dongzi is experiencing some emotional turmoil.

Lin Rongrong has a stable job and her income is quite high now, with nearly 10,000 yuan after tax.

So I've started thinking about having a boyfriend.

Honestly, she's beautiful and has a great figure; girls like that are in high demand anywhere.

Several of her colleagues pursued her romantically.

What people fear most is comparison!

In her eyes, although Dongzi was very good to her, he was not as dazzling as her other suitors.

Aside from being good to her, he has no other redeeming qualities.
