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

She took a deep breath and, unlike Sun Mengjia, didn't immediately lose her temper. Instead, she maintained her obedient and reasonable demeanor.

The voice wasn't loud, but it carried a strong sense of determination.

"Second Aunt, Cousin, you've misunderstood."

"Brother Jiang Chen really bought five million worth of fireworks. He said the elders in the village watched him grow up and treated him well, and he has always remembered that."

"The festive atmosphere of the New Year has faded, and the Spring Festival Gala isn't as good as it used to be. He just wanted to put on a grand fireworks show on New Year's Eve so that everyone in the village, young and old, could have a good time."

"This is my brother's way of showing filial piety, and also his way of giving back to the villagers."

Jiang Chen's lips curled up slightly.

OK!

OK!

Who knew this little green tea could have such a use?

It's already 5 PM.

It's a pity that we couldn't invite all of Sun Mengjia's girlfriends over during the Chinese New Year.

If we could call them all, with all four of those energetic young women working together, we could probably win another prize in just a short while.

such a pity.

But he also noticed the difference between the long, straight black hair and Sun Mengjia.

Sun Mengjia has a fiery temper and tends to be very straightforward in her speech and actions.

I can curse your ancestors for eighteen generations, why should I reason with you?

After all, I'm not good at reasoning, and you might even get confused by my explanations.

But those with long, straight black hair are different; they have a more calm and reserved personality and are more organized in their speech and actions.

He also swears, but he's more about winning over more people.

Just like this time, what they said was reasonable and well-founded, and they even put Jiang Chen on a moral high ground.

However, her second aunt didn't buy it at all and directly cursed, "What a load of bull!"

My second aunt spat on the ground, her face full of disdain.

"If you're going to make up a reason, at least come up with something plausible. If he had five million, why wouldn't he buy a mansion or one of those fancy luxury cars?"

His son, Jiang Haoran, chimed in, "Mom, that's a Rolls-Royce."

After saying that, he looked at Jiang Chen and said, "Even my mother knows that with five million, who wouldn't buy a Rolls-Royce, who wouldn't buy a big villa, and who would be so kind as to set off fireworks just to make a noise?"

"He's only driving a cheap car worth a few hundred thousand, yet he dares to set off fireworks worth five million. If he were driving a Land Rover, he'd be flying high."

At this moment, Sun Mengjia, who had been silent until now, couldn't help but interject, "How do you know Jiang Chen didn't buy a luxury house?"

"He not only has it, but he's also planning to spend three million to build a villa in the village."

"What?"

Jiang Haoran laughed so hard he could barely stand up straight, as if he'd heard the funniest joke in the world. Pointing at the empty streets around him, he exclaimed, "Three million to build a villa in the village? Are you trying to make me laugh to death so you can inherit my Alipay credit card?"

"Sorry, your Alipay credit limit has been used up, so you can't inherit it."

"What about the house you built in the village that cost three million?"

"How come I haven't seen a single brick?"

"There's a limit to bragging!"

"I think you've gone stupid from spending too much time with Jiang Chen. Why don't you come with me, and I'll fix you up."

Not only the mother and son, but also the neighbors who were watching the commotion shook their heads.

"Oh dear, Chenchen, it's good that you're making money, but you're exaggerating a bit."

"That's right. Ten years ago, the county set off fireworks on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. That was a big event for the whole county, and it only cost a little over two million yuan. It was sponsored by several large companies."

"He personally spent five million to set off fireworks, isn't that ridiculous?"

"Even billionaires don't buy this many fireworks, so why do you? That's five million! It's gone after just one bang."

Public opinion instantly turned in favor of the second aunt.

After all, five million is far too much for farmers who toil in the fields.

If that five million is used for fireworks, then it will be even more surreal.

Seeing that everyone around them supported them, the second aunt and Jiang Haoran became even more smug.

"See? The eyes of the masses are discerning!"

The second aunt pointed at Jiang Chen, her face full of sarcasm and meanness: "If you don't have money, just say you don't have money. Why pretend to be such a big shot?"

After speaking about Jiang Chen, she turned her attention to Xiao Xue, who had spoken up for her earlier, her eyes turning extremely vicious: "And you too!"

"You little brat, who hasn't even grown all your hair yet, do you have the right to interrupt adults?"

"What's your relationship with Jiang Chen that you dare to interrupt? His girlfriend hasn't even said anything yet, what are you doing here?"

In the countryside, everyone knows exactly what happened to each family.

Although Jiang Chen's mother didn't tell her, she had inquired with other neighbors and learned that this woman was Jiang Chen's colleague.

He's also a college student.

She seems to like Jiang Chen, and has even moved into his house.

In her opinion, she couldn't afford to mess with Sun Mengjia, but how could she not mess with a college student who had just graduated?

Mainly, in her opinion, long black hair and Sun Mengjia were definitely incompatible.

Her words were sure to make Sun Mengjia furious.

At that time, we'll just sit back and watch the tigers fight.

Jiang Chen might not get either of them.

Therefore, the second aunt straightened her clothes and said smugly, "I heard you're still staying at Chenchen's house?"

"I think you're just another unwanted slut."

"What, are your parents both dead? Spending the New Year at another man's house? What a shameless little slut!"

These words are incredibly harsh.

It hit the sore spot for those with long, straight black hair.

Jiang Chen's face instantly fell, and his eyes turned icy cold.

Even he wouldn't dare mention such a thing in front of the woman with long, straight black hair, how could she dare!

This has indeed crossed the line.

He rolled up his sleeves, glanced at the bricks beside him, and was ready to get to work.

Seeing Jiang Chen's gaze and actions, his second aunt took a step back in fright: "What are you going to do?"

"Let me tell you, I'm your second aunt!"

Then she looked at Sun Mengjia and said, "Your man is going to hit me for another woman, aren't you going to do anything about it?"

It would have been better if she hadn't said anything, because once she did, Sun Mengjia was so angry she laughed.

"Holy shit!"

However, before she could pounce on him, she was grabbed by the long, straight black hair.

He also stepped in front of Jiang Chen, looking at his second aunt with a mocking expression: "Since you don't believe me, how about we make a bet in front of all these villagers?"

"If Brother Jiang Chen really spent five million to buy fireworks and wants to set them off for the villagers, then you should take out ten thousand yuan and treat all the villagers present to a big meal to apologize to Brother Jiang Chen."

"If Brother Jiang Chen didn't spend the five million, then let Brother Jiang Chen take out one hundred thousand to treat the whole village to a meal."

"Do you dare to answer?"

[Detected that Zhao Xue is firmly committed to protecting the host's reputation, sincerity value +1, current sincerity value: 18]

I heard a system notification sound.

Jiang Chen became even more determined to give his second aunt a good beating.

At the same time, I calmed down.

There's no need to fight with a shrew like my second aunt.

As a grown man, once I resort to violence, I can't even explain myself clearly.

If she lies on the ground, she might end up in jail during the Lunar New Year holiday.

Long, straight black hair is a good trick; it's good to make her bleed.

But 10,000 yuan is too little; it won't hurt her or break her. Most importantly, there's a high probability she won't admit it.

For a shrew, what does face matter?

This is a rural area, not a courthouse, so there are no written contracts.

Even if she really doesn't treat us, can we forcibly deduct 10,000 yuan from her?

We must find a way to solve this once and for all.

When Auntie heard that she had to pay money, she hesitated.

Ten thousand yuan is not a small amount for her.

But Jiang Haoran, young and impetuous, and convinced that Jiang Chen was bragging, slapped his thigh:

"Let's gamble! What's there to be afraid of?"

He looked around and shouted, "Everyone, be a witness. If Jiang Chen loses and doesn't pay up, then we'll all go to his doorstep and curse him, and break his family's backbone."

Xiaoxue immediately replied, "What if you lose?"

Jiang Haoran sneered, "If I lose, I'll not only treat you to a meal, I'll let the whole village curse me! I'll kowtow to Jiang Chen and admit my mistake!"

Seeing that her son had already agreed, the second aunt couldn't back down any longer, so she could only bite the bullet and say:

"Okay! But Jiang Chen has to say it himself."

"Who do you think you are, you little brat? What if you lose and run away, and Jiang Chen doesn't honor his debt?"

Jiang Chen was about to agree.

Sun Mengjia, who had been holding back her big move all along, finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"Who are you calling a little brat? You shameless old man, I've put up with you for far too long!"

Sun Mengjia stepped forward, blocking Xiaoxue's path, and gave Xiaoxue a disdainful look: "I thought you could come up with some amazing move, is this all?"

"Step back, watch me!"
