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

"What?"

The eldest uncle and aunt were both stunned, wondering if they had misheard.

"You mean those two cars were yours? The big black SUV and the silver SUV at the entrance?"

Jiang Chen nodded.

My aunt's eyes widened: "Rented?"

Dad shook his head, a barely suppressed smile on his face: "What are you renting? Chenchen bought it."

"That black one belongs to Chenchen, and that silver SUV was bought for me."

As he spoke, he took out his car keys from his pocket, placed them on the table, and they made a crisp clinking sound.

My dad said with a sigh, "You actually know a lot about cars, you even recognized it as a Chevrolet M9, and you knew it cost five or six hundred thousand. Believe it or not, it really did cost six hundred thousand."

"Two cars, that'll be a million together."

"When I first bought it, I didn't recognize it at all. I said, 'Why did you spend so much money on such an expensive piece of junk? Nobody knows it. You should have just bought a Mercedes or a BMW.'"

"He insisted that this was fuel-efficient, and Jiajia liked it too."

"His mother advised me, 'Young people buy cars with their own money, and they even bought one for us. It's not like it's our money, so why should we care so much? Just enjoy the car I bought you.'"

"I think that makes sense too."

Dad took another sip of tea, making a clicking sound like he was drinking alcohol, and his expression was incredibly relaxed.

"Oh dear, I'm getting old, I can't control the kids these days anymore."

"If you ask me, I'd say buying a Camry like Qiangzi would be fine. It's been around for years, it'll last a long time. These electric cars save a little on fuel, but they'll break down in ten or eight years."

"He insisted that if it broke, he would buy another one, and then buy a better one."

Dad chuckled: "You know, these young people nowadays, all they think about is replacing things. They'll replace something as soon as it's broken."

Jiang Chen looked at his father's smug expression, then glanced at his uncle's expression, which looked like he had swallowed a fly, and laughed, "Dad, we used to patch things up and make them last for three years, but we didn't have the means. Now that we have the means, who wouldn't want to use new ones?"

Grandpa laughed and said, "That's right, it's just Chenchen's kind gesture, you should just keep it."

Jiang Chen and his uncle's words were like a thunderclap, completely stunning his uncle and aunt.

My uncle only realized what had happened when the cigarette butt in his hand burned his hand.

The noodles that my aunt was eating fell directly to the ground.

One million!

Two cars!

Did Jiang Chen buy it?

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

The smile on his uncle's face gradually disappeared, replaced by disbelief and deep jealousy.

That look in his eyes was as if he had seen a beggar who used to be begging with him suddenly wearing a dragon robe.

I'm afraid my brother is suffering, but I'm also afraid he's driving a Land Rover.

My son just bought a Camry, and I still ride an electric tricycle. How come your family drives a car worth a million?

"Chen... Chenchen."

My uncle's voice was a little dry.

"You've struck it rich? I've never heard your dad mention that!"

Jiang Chen smiled modestly: "I didn't get rich, I just had good luck this year. The project was completed and I received a bonus."

Looking at Jiang Chen's nonchalant demeanor, and then thinking about the Camry her son had bought with a loan, her aunt felt a surge of bitterness.

That warm intimacy was gone, replaced by an inexplicable, sarcastic tone.

"Wow, a million for a car?"

"Chenchen is really generous. But can you afford to buy and maintain such a big and expensive car? The fuel consumption of such a big car must be incredible."

"Our Qiangzi is really practical. He bought a Camry. It's fuel-efficient, holds its value well, and he knows how to manage money."

Jiang Chen laughed: "Those two cars are hybrids, they can run on gasoline or electricity, and you can just charge them at home. Not only do they save on fuel, they don't even need gasoline."

My aunt's face darkened further, and she muttered, "Who knows if that electric car is reliable? I read online that electric cars catch fire. The Camry is much better. Toyota is number one in the world."

Jiang Chen explained with a smile, "Auntie, your information is outdated. Toyota is making electric cars now, but nobody's buying them. Besides, the Camry also has a hybrid version."

My aunt slammed down her chopsticks.

He crossed his arms and was panting angrily.

My uncle was smoking nonstop on the side.

After a long while, the eldest uncle finally said, "Chenchen, you bought a car worth a million at once. You must have taken out a lot of loans, right?"

"The economic situation is not good now. With so many loans, the monthly mortgage payment alone is several thousand or even ten thousand yuan. How am I going to live like this?"

"Jiajia just started dating you, and before they're even married, she's already burdened with a million-dollar loan."

"We can't lose sight of the bigger picture."

Sun Mengjia's lips twitched as she watched her uncle and aunt's expressions change in an instant.

They were just praising Jiang Chen for being filial, but as soon as they heard that Jiang Chen bought a luxury car, their faces turned as long as donkeys.

Could the old man be telling the truth?

Is this uncle's family really so jealous of others doing well?

My uncle and aunt don't seem like those kinds of people.

They were very polite, and they even kept praising me.

She was probably genuinely worried that Jiang Chen wouldn't be able to repay his loan and that she would suffer because of him.

Thinking of this, Sun Mengjia said with great understanding, "Uncle, don't worry, Jiang Chen bought both cars in full."

"How is that possible!"

The eldest uncle was so anxious that he shouted it out.

"These cars are so expensive, and you're buying two at once, how could you possibly not take out a loan!"

"Even our factory manager would have to take out a loan to buy two cars this expensive!"

Uncle seemed to suddenly realize something and burst into laughter: "Chenchen, you're not thinking of taking out a loan to buy two nice cars to fool some young girl, are you?"

My aunt also suddenly realized.

"No wonder you didn't want a house, a car, or a dowry. Turns out you tricked me. I thought you were rich."

"Chenchen, you have to listen to your aunt. We can't be liars who deceive young girls."

After saying that, he walked over to Sun Mengjia, put his arm around her shoulder and said, "Jiajia, you have to be careful. Jiang Chen's family isn't rich; they're just ordinary rural people."

"I won't accept a penny less of the car, house, and dowry I'm entitled to."

"Furthermore, if he can't repay this one million in debt, he'll become a deadbeat, and you'll be implicated as well."

Then she looked at Jiang Chen and said, "Chenchen, don't blame your aunt for being blunt, but what if the young lady believes what you say, gets married, and then finds out it's not what she expected, and ends up wanting a divorce?"

"It would have been better to make things clear to them from the beginning. I don't think Jiajia is the kind of person who would be materialistic and snobbish, right, Jiajia?"

The eldest uncle also said, "That's right. I think Jiajia is a good person. We can't deceive a young girl's feelings."

Jiang Chen scoffed.

Good guy.

Those who know you are deliberately trying to disgust me and break up my marriage; those who don't might think you're a really good person.

However, Sun Mengjia, who was convinced from the bottom of her heart that her uncle and aunt were good people, quickly explained, "Uncle, Aunt, you don't need to worry. Jiang Chen's car was not financed at all; it was all paid for in full. I was right next to him when he made the payment; I saw the transfer with my own eyes."

"Besides, I really don't think money is that important. It's not like we're so poor that we can't afford to eat."

"As long as I can live a normal life, that's fine."

"I've tried Heytea and BaWangChaJi, but I feel they're not as good as Mixue."

"I'm content with just rice noodles and a glass of Mixue. Do I really need abalone and shark fin soup every single day to survive? I might as well just kill myself."

Done.

Seeing that her uncle and aunt still looked unwell, Sun Mengjia laughed and said, "If you ask me, you should tell your son to break up with his girlfriend as soon as possible."

"She's not only going to drain your family dry, but she's also successfully brainwashed you."

"Marrying someone like that will only lead to him taking advantage of your family sooner or later!"

My uncle and aunt immediately panicked.

The eldest uncle slammed his hand on the table, pointed at Sun Mengjia, and roared:

"Shut up!"

"She's my daughter-in-law, what right do you have to interfere?"

Before Sun Mengjia could get angry, Jiang Chen immediately narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Uncle, Jiajia is my girlfriend. She's doing this for your own good."

"Weren't you always bossing her around?"

"You can advise her to see me for who I am and not be fooled by me. Why can't she advise you to take a good look at Qiang Ge's girlfriend so you won't be fooled by her?"

"We can't allow officials to set fires while forbidding ordinary people from even lighting lamps."

Sun Mengjia looked at Jiang Chen, who was squinting and speaking with hostility, and her heart suddenly raced. She felt her blood boil instantly.

I rely on!

You told me to put up with it? So you were planning to enjoy yourself all along!
