I couldn't take it anymore; when I went home for Chinese New Year, the family genealogy book ha

"Aunt, what you're saying doesn't make any sense."

Faced with Liu Cuifen's accusations, Jiang Chen shrugged, his expression as innocent as that of a three-year-old child.

"Didn't you say it yourself in the main room just now? Miss Wang Erya is sensible, caring, and fertile. Marrying her is a great blessing, like 'buy one get two free'."

He took a step closer, staring intently at Liu Cuifen, and asked, word by word:

"Why is this 'good fortune' being given to Jiang Chen? It must be out of kindness."

"Why does mentioning my cousin Jiang Wei become a 'curse'?"

"Your double standards are really something else!"

Jiang Chen's voice suddenly rose, filled with accusation.

"Or is it that in your heart, Aunt, your son who drives a BMW is a gold nugget with gold trim, untouchable?"

"And I, Jiang Chen, am just a piece of rotten mud that nobody wants in the field, only fit to take on dishes that others discard?"

He left her speechless, her mouth agape, unable to utter a single word!

Jiang Jianjun and Wang Xiuying, who were watching the commotion from the doorway, felt incredibly comfortable, with every pore of their bodies radiating warmth.

That feeling was even more refreshing than drinking a big gulp of ice-cold well water on a sweltering summer day!

Over the years, the honest and law-abiding couple has suffered a lot from their sister-in-law's temper.

Today, my son finally vented all the resentment he had accumulated over the years, with interest!

"Good! Good! Good!"

Liu Cuifen said "good" three times in a row, her chest heaving violently with anger, and her lips, painted with cheap lipstick, were trembling.

She knew that she had lost this verbal battle completely.

Enraged and embarrassed, she no longer cared about saving face and started throwing a tantrum.

"Now that your family is rich! You think you're all grown up! You look down on us poor relatives now, don't you!"

She stomped her foot, grabbed the bag of tattered oranges that she had previously tossed aside in the main room but later brought back, and turned to leave.

"Fine! This relative can't leave! I'll go!"

"Take care, and don't bother seeing me off."

Jiang Chen calmly delivered another blow from behind.

He watched Liu Cuifen's disheveled figure and kindly "reminded" her.

"Aunt, you should take these oranges back with you. They'll be good for my cousin to eat and help him recover."

"I noticed that he looked unwell ever since we got to the service area; he seemed a bit weak."

"I feel unsteady while driving; I need to take some serious care of myself."

"you!"

Liu Cuifen stumbled and almost fell flat on her face.

She dared not look back again, and almost fled in panic. The sharp sound of her high heels pounded on the cement ground, and soon disappeared at the gate of the courtyard.

As the fly left, the air in the whole room seemed to instantly become much fresher.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Jiang Jianjun could no longer hold back and burst into a hearty laugh.

Wang Xiuying was also grinning from ear to ear, patting Jiang Chen's shoulder while playfully scolding, "You child, your mouth is so sharp!"

Although the tone was accusatory, the pride and satisfaction on his face were impossible to hide.

Although Grandpa Jiang was a little hard of hearing and couldn't hear the specifics of their argument clearly, he could roughly guess what had happened from his eldest daughter-in-law's furious and hasty retreat.

He picked up the enormous cherry from the table, his hands trembling.

But he didn't eat it.

Instead, she used her hands, covered in age spots and as dry as old tree bark, to tightly hold Jiang Chen's hand.

The old man's eyes were a little moist.

"Ergouzi...good boy...you've made something of yourself."

He placed the cold cherry back into Jiang Chen's palm, his voice hoarse.

"Ignore her, that's just how she is."

"Grandpa knows you have this filial piety, and that's better than anything else."

"This thing is too expensive. Don't waste money like this anymore. Save it for your own wedding."

Jiang Chen felt a sudden warmth in his heart.

He grasped his grandfather's cold, withered hand in return, and could clearly feel the bones beneath the rough skin.

"Grandpa, what are you saying?"

"As long as you are healthy, that's more important than anything else. Money can be earned back, but your health is something that no amount of money can buy back."

"Now that I'm capable, I want you and my parents to live a good life!"

Just as Jiang Chen uttered these heartfelt words...

In his mind!

The system notification sound, as melodious as heavenly music and carrying supreme authority, suddenly exploded!

[Ding! Detected that the host has made targeted purchases from a "genuine elder (grandfather)"!]

Jiang Chen's eyes suddenly lit up!

[Congratulations, host! This purchase has triggered a 30x bonus!]

Thirty times!

Jiang Chen's heart was pounding!

The ultimate payout from buying gold before was only ten times!

I never imagined that showing filial piety to my grandfather would trigger such an amazing multiplier!

[Rebate amount calculation in progress...]

[5,800 yuan x 30 = 174,000 yuan!]

[The rebate has been sent to the host's linked bank account via a special encrypted channel...]

"Buzzing—"

The phone in my pocket vibrated once again, that familiar, mesmerizing sound!

Jiang Chen looked at the text message notification on his phone screen that 174,000 yuan had been deposited into his account via the bank's app, and he could no longer suppress the smile on his face.

He was secretly pleased: His aunt's assist was absolutely brilliant!

Not only did they drive away the unpleasant guest and help the whole family vent their anger, they also gave him a windfall of over 100,000 yuan!

This is the right way to return home in glory!

Jiang Chen put away his phone and helped his grandfather sit down at the table.

He glanced to the side, where his mother was excitedly discussing with Jiang Ling how to take photos and post them on WeChat Moments using her new phone.

He thought to himself silently.

With the hardware facilities upgraded, Grandpa has fulfilled his filial duty.

Next up, it's time for our precious little one at home.
