Renting a young, attractive woman to take home for the Chinese New Year infuriates the entire villag

The second aunt's face turned a deep purplish-red as she looked at the suitcase pushed over by the energetic young woman. She didn't know whether to leave or stay.

Seeing the system notification and his aunt's unpleasant expression, Jiang Chen's fondness for the spirited young woman reached its peak.

However, Jiang Chen's father looked extremely grim.

Noticing his father's expression, Jiang Chen quickly tugged at his energetic little sister, signaling her to calm down.

Then, awkwardly, he said to his parents, "Mom and Dad, I'm home."

Upon hearing Jiang Chen's voice, Sun Mengjia instantly dropped her previous domineering demeanor, obediently taking Jiang Chen's mother's arm, her voice overflowing with sweetness:

"Hello Auntie, hello Uncle, I'm Sun Mengjia, Jiang Chen's girlfriend."

Jiang Chen's mother was completely touched by being called "Auntie".

Looking at the incredibly beautiful girl in front of him, he didn't know what to do with his hands.

"Hey! Hey! Good girl, hurry home. It's cold outside!"

"No rush, Auntie!"

Sun Mengjia took the two most expensive bags from Jiang Chen: "Auntie, this is a mink coat that Jiang Chen specially bought for you. It costs over ten thousand yuan. He said you're afraid of the cold and insisted on buying the best."

"Uncle, this is your down jacket, it's a Canada Goose, it costs ten or twenty thousand."

These words were spoken.

The surrounding relatives were in an uproar.

A mink coat costing over ten thousand.

A down jacket that costs 20,000 yuan.

Did Jiang Chen rob a bank outside?

Auntie said sourly from the side, "Xiao Chen hasn't even bought a car yet, why is he spending so much money on clothes? Young man, don't waste money just to save face, you still have to live your life in the future."

Sun Mengjia turned around, looked at her second aunt, and smiled innocently: "Second aunt, you're wrong. Filial piety is the most important virtue."

"Your uncle and aunt raised Jiang Chen with great difficulty; if they don't give their money to your parents, who will they give it to?"

"As for the car... what kind of car does your son drive?"

Speaking of cars, Auntie's face lit up with pride: "My son drives a Volkswagen, a Lavida, you know, it cost over ten thousand!"

The young woman, feigning exaggeration, exclaimed, "Wow, over ten thousand!"

"These clothes and shoes, all added up, only cost a little over ten thousand yuan, which isn't even as expensive as your son's Volkswagen. What's a little money like that?"

"Over ten thousand!"

My second aunt shut up completely.

She looked at the bags in Jiang Chen's hands, her eyes filled with jealousy and disbelief.

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

It's definitely an act to deceive people.

How could there possibly be down jackets costing ten or twenty thousand yuan?

How much does a duck farm cost?

That's absolutely outrageous!

Jiang Chen almost burst out laughing as he watched his sincerity points rise rapidly.

But seeing the gloomy faces of his father and second aunt, he still managed to hold it in.

……

I finally got rid of those relatives.

The family returned home.

Sun Mengjia secretly nudged Jiang Chen and whispered, "How was it? Did you enjoy it just now? Your second aunt is obviously an idiot, you should pay more."

As soon as Jiang Chen entered the house, before he could even catch his breath...

"Snapped!"

Dad slammed his hand on the table, his face darkening as he yelled, "Nonsense!"

The air in the room froze instantly.

Jiang Chen's mother quickly went to pour water: "What are you trying to do! The child just got back, why are you getting so angry?"

"I'm getting angry? Just listen to what he's been doing outside!"

Dad pointed at the pile of bags, his fingers trembling: "Tens of thousands spent on a few tattered clothes!"

"Did you amass a mountain of gold or silver? Is this how you live your life?"

"How could you speak to your second aunt like that?"

"Those are elders! Is that how you talk to your elders? Is this how I taught you? If word gets out, people will say our family has no manners!"

Jiang Chen was about to explain.

The young woman, however, became anxious first.

She stepped in front of Jiang Chen, her neck stiff, and said, "Uncle, how could you say that about him?"

"Isn't it good that he's filial?"

"He works so hard out there just so he can come back and make you proud!"

"Do you know how much he scrimped and saved to buy these things for you?"

"He wouldn't even take the high-speed train, he insisted on taking me on the old-fashioned green train. We squeezed into a hard seat all night, just to save a few hundred yuan to buy you clothes."

"Who is he doing this for? Isn't it to make you happy? How can you say such things about him!"

These words struck the elderly couple like a heavy hammer blow.

Jiang Chen's mother looked at Jiang Chen's bloodshot eyes, and tears instantly streamed down her face.

"Chenchen, is it true?"

She walked over, her hands trembling as she touched Jiang Chen's face: "How could you be so foolish! Mom doesn't want the mink coat, Mom doesn't care about saving face, Mom just wants you to be alright!"

My dad's expression changed too.

He looked at the pile of clothes, then at his son, his lips moved, but he ultimately didn't say anything.

He simply turned around silently, put his hands behind his back, and walked out.

As he reached the door, he paused, his voice a little hoarse: "There's meat stewing in the pot. Your mother insists on using an iron pot. I'll go start the fire."

……

Only three people remained in the room.

The atmosphere was somewhat somber.

Jiang Chen looked at his mother, who was still wiping away tears, and then at Sun Mengjia, who was standing next to him, puffing up her cheeks like a fighting rooster.

I have mixed feelings in my heart.

[Ding! Sun Mengjia has been detected protecting the host. Sincerity value +1, current sincerity value 7]

Seeing the suddenly chilly atmosphere, Jiang Chen sighed, helplessly tugged at Sun Mengjia's sleeve, and whispered, "Alright, say less. They're just worried about me."

Sun Mengjia snorted, turned her head away, and didn't say anything.

Jiang Chen's mother then took a good look at the girl in front of her.

She is truly beautiful, and her heart is truly with her son.

That's just his temper...

That's really a bit too much.

And he looks too young.

"Girl, don't be angry. Uncle is just stubborn. He has a good heart, he just doesn't know how to speak properly."

The mother took Sun Mengjia's hand, wanting to touch it but afraid her rough hands might prick her: "Your name is Mengjia, right? How old are you? What do you do for work?"

Sun Mengjia blinked and answered honestly:

"Auntie, I'm nineteen. I don't have a job."

"Ten...nineteen?"

Mom was stunned.

She's almost ten years younger than my son.

Still not employed?

No wonder they spend money so extravagantly and don't understand social etiquette. They're only at school age; what do they know?

However, this kind of person lacks perseverance and will definitely not be able to get married.

Besides, by the time my son is forty, she'll only be thirty; they won't be able to get along in the future.

I won't say whether she's after her son's money.

After all, his family isn't exactly well-off, but isn't it a waste of time to find such a young girl?

They've been dating for two years, and the young woman is only twenty-one, while her son is a thirty-one-year-old bachelor.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen's mother's smile vanished: "So you're still in school?"

"No, I stopped going a long time ago."

They stopped going a long time ago?

He's only just graduated high school, and he's already stopped going? Does that mean he didn't even finish high school, or even attend high school at all?

My mother's mood sank to rock bottom once again.

Seeing his mother's expression, Jiang Chen's heart skipped a beat.

broken!

I forgot to remind her to lie about her age.

Just then, Mom asked again, "What does your family do? Do your parents approve of your relationship?"

When this was mentioned, Sun Mengjia's eyes dimmed for a moment, but she quickly regained her nonchalant expression: "I have no parents, I am an orphan."

"what?"

My mother's heart skipped a beat; her initial concerns instantly turned into deep heartache.

An orphan.

This child has such a hard life.

She held Sun Mengjia's hand tightly and said with heartache, "From now on, this is your home, and I'll be your mother. Sit down and have some water, I'll go cook for you."

Jiang Chen stood aside, watching this scene, his lips twitching violently.

Chaos!

Everything's in chaos!

He originally intended to rent a girlfriend to take the fall for him.

it's good now.

Why is Mom so touched?

I'm not worried about my mom not liking it, since she's not really my girlfriend.

I'm just afraid Mom will actually be satisfied!

If Sun Mengjia leaves after the New Year...

How should I explain this to my parents?

To say that you started a relationship and then abandoned it?

Wouldn't Mom chase him down three blocks with a broom?

孽 孽!
