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

Zhao Youcai spoke in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for everyone at the village entrance to hear.

His pretentious professional commentary and the sullen sense of superiority in his words were practically overflowing.

In his view, in a poor place like Wangjiagou, if he could afford a Toyota Prado worth more than 400,000 yuan, he, Zhao Youcai, was undoubtedly the "richest man".

This Audi that suddenly appeared, although it looks nice, is at most the same price as my car.

By saying this, he was both showing off his "insight" and subtly asserting his sovereignty.

The neighbors, who had never seen anything like it before, stared wide-eyed and chimed in with agreement.

"My God! Four or five hundred thousand? That's a fortune!"

"You're so knowledgeable, Brother Youcai! I don't even recognize this car logo!"

"Yeah, I wonder which big boss drives such a nice car back to the mountains."

Hearing the compliments around him, Zhao Youcai's smugness grew even stronger.

He walked around the Audi A6L with his hands behind his back and a beer belly sticking out, as if he were examining a product.

"Hmm, the paint is nice, and the wheels are big enough... but the chassis is too low, it's not suitable for our mountain roads, looks good but isn't practical!"

He curled his lip and gave the final "authoritative" assessment.

in the car.

Wang Xiuying turned pale with anger upon hearing her brother-in-law's self-righteous comments outside.

"What nonsense is he spouting! What does 'good-looking but useless' mean? What does 'came to the wrong place' mean?"

Jiang Jianjun's face was also ashen, and his knuckles were white as he gripped the steering wheel.

In previous years, he had been publicly ridiculed by Zhao Youcai in the same way.

Today, this familiar recipe and familiar taste are back!

He was about to push open the door, get out of the car, and argue with them.

"Dad, don't move."

Jiang Chen grabbed him and held him down.

Jiang Chen's face showed no anger whatsoever; instead, it wore a smile of amusement, as if he were watching a show.

He looked out the window at Zhao Youcai, who was standing with his hands behind his back, pointing at his car, as if he were watching a monkey jumping around.

"Let him speak."

Jiang Chen's voice was calm yet full of confidence.

"The higher he's been praised now, the harder he'll fall later."

After saying that, Jiang Chen winked at his younger sister Jiang Ling, who was sitting in the back row.

Jiang Ling understood immediately, took out her new phone, turned on the recording function, and quietly pointed it out the window.

outside.

After reviewing the car, Zhao Youcai started bragging to his aunt, Wang Xiuqin.

"Xiuqin, look at this! This is the difference! Back then, your sister Xiuying insisted on marrying that Jiang Jianjun, and what happened? She spent her whole life working on the farm in the countryside! I told you long ago, people should always strive for better things!"

"Look at us! We live in a big house in the city, drive a nice car, and our son has a decent job here! This is the life a decent person should live!"

Listening to her husband's flattery, Wang Xiuqin felt her vanity greatly satisfied. She glanced at the black Audi and said in a sour tone.

"I wonder whose family they are. If they're so rich, why would they come back to this poor mountain village?"

Just then.

"Click".

A soft sound.

The driver's side door of the Audi A6L that they had been criticizing opened.

The expressions on Zhao Youcai and Wang Xiuqin's faces froze instantly.

The neighbors around were also craning their necks curiously, wanting to see who was sitting in that luxury car.

Under everyone's watchful eyes.

A foot wearing a brand-new, shiny leather shoe emerged first and landed firmly on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a tall, composed middle-aged man wearing a sharp black cashmere coat stepped out of the car.

It was Jiang Jianjun!

Today, Jiang Jianjun is completely different from the farmer he usually is, dressed in mud-splattered overalls!

That expensive coat accentuated his entire presence, complementing his upright posture, which remained unchanged despite years of hard work.

Standing there, he actually had the air of a big boss!

"Build...build an army?"

Wang Xiuqin stared wide-eyed at her brother-in-law, who was both familiar and unfamiliar, and dropped the melon seeds in her hand all over the ground.

The smile on Zhao Youcai's face froze completely.

He opened his mouth wide, pointed at Jiang Jianjun, then at the black Audi, and stammered, unable to utter a single word.

"This...this car...is...it yours?"

The surrounding neighbors erupted in gasps of surprise!

"Oh my god! Isn't that Sooyoung's man?"

"Am I seeing things? Jiang Jianjun? He... how come he's driving such a nice car?"

"Wasn't it said that his family was dirt poor? This car... was it rented?"

Various doubts and discussions surged in like a tide.

Jiang Jianjun listened to these sounds and looked at Zhao Youcai's expression, as if he had seen a ghost.

He's never felt this good in his entire life!

He felt that all the humiliation he had suffered in the first half of his life vanished in that moment, with the sound of the car door opening!

He followed his son's example, ignoring the shock of the crowd.

He slowly and deliberately took out a pack of unopened Zhonghua cigarettes from his coat pocket.

With a "snap," one popped out and was put in my mouth.

Then, he turned around and pulled out a young man dressed in trendy clothes who looked sunny and handsome from the passenger seat.

It was Jiang Chen.

After Jiang Chen got out of the car, he opened the back door.

Wang Xiuying and Jiang Ling also got out of the car one after the other.

A family of four, dressed in brand-new clothes, stood together.

The man is composed and handsome, and the woman is dignified and beautiful.

That aura, that style, seemed completely out of place in this dilapidated Wangjiagou.

It's like a high-ranking official from the city coming down to inspect the work.

Zhao Youcai's mind was completely in chaos.

He doesn't believe it!

He simply couldn't believe that Jiang Jianjun, whom he had trampled underfoot for over a decade, could afford such a car!

"Jiang Jianjun!"

Zhao Youcai's voice was distorted by shock and jealousy.

"You...you better tell me honestly! Where did you rent this car from?!"

"You're trying to act all high and mighty, even coming to your sister-in-law's doorstep?!"

In his view, there is only one explanation!

Jiang Jianjun hadn't even had a chance to get angry when he heard this.

Jiang Chen, standing beside him, smiled.

He walked up to Zhao Youcai, his young and handsome face bearing an innocent smile.

"Uncle, what are you saying?"

"What do you mean by 'rent'? That sounds awful."

Jiang Chen turned his head and reached out his hand to his father.

"Dad, don't just stand there."

"Didn't my uncle say he knows a lot about cars?"

Jiang Chen's voice suddenly rose in pitch and clearly echoed throughout the entire village entrance.

"Hand him our car keys!"

"Let him see for himself whether his 'Land Cruiser Prado' is more imposing, or our 'useless' Audi!"
