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

Jiang Chen's words were like a bucket of ice water poured over the heads of the few remaining "relatives".

live streaming?

Still connecting online?

Let them be subjected to the same scrutiny and trial by tens of thousands of people online, just like Jiang Zemin and Lai Hongbo?

The heavily made-up Wang Dahua trembled uncontrollably at the thought that her fabricated lies might be exposed in public, or even attract the police.

"No... I won't lend it to you! I just remembered, I still have some soup simmering at home!"

Wang Dahua forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, grabbed her small bag, and was the first to rush outside.

With her taking the lead, the rest of the group also woke up from their daze and started coming up with all sorts of lame excuses.

"Oh dear, I have to pick up my grandson from school!"

"My wife wants me to come home for dinner early!"

"Um... Chen'er, I suddenly have a stomachache, I have to go now!"

In less than a minute, the few people who were originally reluctant to leave ran away faster than rabbits, as if they had seen a ghost.

The entire Jiang family compound instantly became quiet.

All that was left were sunflower seed shells and cigarette butts scattered on the floor, and an awkward and oppressive atmosphere throughout the room.

Jiang Jianjun looked at the mess and breathed a long sigh of relief, but his face still showed some worry.

He walked to his son's side, but hesitated to speak.

"Chen'er, if this happens... won't our family's reputation be completely ruined among our relatives?"

Jiang Jianjun has lived his entire life in the rural society where personal connections matter, and in his view, "reputation" is more important than anything else.

Jiang Chen's actions today, while satisfying, also meant he offended all his relatives.

Jiang Chen poured his father a cup of hot tea and handed it to him.

"Dad, do you think it's more important to have the reputation of a group of 'poor relatives' who only want to leech off you, or for our family to live a peaceful life?"

Jiang Chen looked at his father and said calmly.

"Reputation is for those who are reasonable. The more you try to reason with a shameless vampire, the more arrogant he will become."

"To deal with evil people, you have to use methods even more wicked than theirs. Make them fear you, respect you, and dare not have the slightest evil thought."

"Don't worry," Jiang Chen smiled. "Our family's reputation hasn't been ruined at all; in fact, it's become even better."

Jiang Jianjun only partially understood what Jiang Chen was saying.

But soon he understood what his son meant.

Jiang Chen's WeChat on his phone started ringing incessantly.

It's that "Jiangjia Village Mud-legged Childhood Friends Group".

The big dog at the village entrance: "Holy crap! Chenzi! Awesome! I just watched your live stream replay, and I laughed so hard I delivered the wrong package! That's how you deal with scoundrels!"

Iron-Blooded Qiangzi: "Well done!"

Immediately afterwards, the group chat for the "Jiangjia Village Youth Vanguard Team," which Jiang Chen had also been added to, also erupted in excitement.

This group is full of young people in their twenties and thirties from the village.

"Brother Chen is awesome! I've had my hated on Jiang Lai for ages! He's always hanging around the village, stealing chickens and dogs. Today he finally got his comeuppance!"

"Exactly! And those distant relatives, the moment they heard Brother Chen was rich, they all swarmed around him like flies to blood. It's disgusting!"

"What Brother Chen did today was something we all wanted to do but didn't dare to! From now on, if any of us encounter such awful relatives, we should learn from Brother Chen and do a live stream!"

"Brother Chen is now the idol of all the young people in Jiangjia Village! We'll follow you from now on!"

Looking at the messages in the group filled with admiration and praise, Jiang Chen's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile.

He knew that this incident had firmly established his prestige among the younger generation in the village.

This is ten thousand times more effective than simply giving money!

Jiang Chen glanced at the live stream backend and saw that the short ten-minute live stream had actually earned him several thousand yuan in gifts and tips.

He thought about it for a moment, then withdrew the money directly, rounding it up to ten thousand yuan.

Then, he made a phone call to Wang Dagou.

"Dog, go to town now and buy me fifty cases of pure milk and fifty cases of eight-treasure porridge."

"We'll deliver it to the village, door to door, to all the elderly people over seventy who are living alone."

Wang Dagou was stunned for a moment, then he understood Jiang Chen's intention.

"Alright! Don't worry, Chenzi! I promise I'll handle this perfectly!"

More than half an hour later, Wang Dagou and Li Qiang drove the logistics station's Jinbei van, loaded with a full truckload of milk and eight-treasure porridge, back to the village.

Wearing "Jiangchen Logistics" badges around their necks, the two of them went door-to-door, delivering goods to the elderly.

And he would tell everyone he met, "This was specially bought by Brother Chen for everyone to nourish your bodies since it's cold! The money is from the tips he earned during the live stream!"

"Brother Chen said he wouldn't help relatives who wanted to borrow money. But he has to take care of the elderly living alone in the village!"

This move of "turning to charity after failing to borrow money" is simply a stroke of genius!

Once the news spread, public opinion in the entire Jiangjia Village completely turned against them!

Those relatives who were driven away originally wanted to spread rumors about Jiang Chen's reputation, saying that he was "heartless and cruel" and "disowning his own family."

Now, they don't even have the chance to gossip!

The villagers don't care whether you're related or not; all they see is that Jiang Chen is good to the village's elderly but ruthless to the village's scoundrels!

It's obvious who's good and who's bad!

"Jianjun, your Chen'er is such a kind and good child!"

"Exactly! That's what people who do great things are like! They have principles and a bottom line!"

In no time, praise for Jiang Chen spread throughout the entire village.

Aunt Liu Cuifen originally wanted to take the opportunity to laugh at Jiang Chen's family, but when she heard the praise outside, she got so angry that she smashed a newly bought enamel basin at home!

Having completely eradicated these annoying flies, Jiang Chen felt the whole world was finally peaceful.

He took out a piece of red paper and a bottle of ink that he had prepared beforehand, and wrote a line of vigorous and powerful characters on it with a brush.

Then, it was pasted directly onto the front door panel of my own house.

[Don't ask for money, but we welcome cooperation inquiries. Those who want to make money and get rich, please go to the Jiangchen Logistics Station at the village entrance to work as bricklayers.]

This imposing and permanent notice completely extinguished any thoughts of those who wanted to take advantage of the situation.

Jiang Chen clapped his hands in satisfaction.

He leaned against the door frame, looking at the bustling road construction site and the logistics station that was beginning to take shape in the distance, and felt a sense of satisfaction.

Just then, that familiar system notification sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Detected that the host has successfully protected family assets and greatly enhanced personal and family reputation through "non-traditional deterrent methods"!]

[System Evaluation: When facing wolves, appeasement and concessions are meaningless; only swift and decisive action can protect our territory!]

[Although this action did not trigger a direct monetary reward, the host's "reputation points" have increased significantly!]

[Congratulations, host! You have received a special event reward: one [Truth Talisman]!]

Jiang Chen's heart skipped a beat!

[True Word Post]?

He immediately opened the item description.

【Name: Truth Post】

[Type: One-time consumable item]

[Effect: This sticker will be silently placed on the target person, making them unable to lie for the next thirty minutes; their thoughts and words will be completely consistent.]

[Note: Please use with caution, otherwise, the ship of friendship may capsize at any moment, and the ship of love may sink just as easily.]

After reading the explanation, Jiang Chen's eyes lit up instantly!

This...this is a really good thing!

It can be called a "nuclear weapon" in interpersonal relationships!

Several excellent candidates who would be suitable to use this prop instantly flashed through his mind.

A wicked smile crept onto Jiang Chen's lips.
