Chapter 438: Chapter 205: Poverty Finds No Friends in the Bustling City, Wealth Attracts Distant Relatives in the Remote Mountains!

When Jiang Tao was at home planting trees, watering them, and studying his Bitcoin USB drive.

The atmosphere at Mr. Jiang and Nanny Jiang’s house resembled a festive event, with waves of guests coming and going.

Jiang Wen’s many uncles, aunts, and those cousins who hadn’t been in touch for ages all showed up.

Furthermore, no one came empty-handed; there were cigarettes, alcohol, sweets, tea, and various other gifts.

Tian Xiaomei’s cousins, except for one who was bedridden with a long illness, were all present without exception.

With so many guests suddenly at home, Jiang Bing, who originally planned to go out and have fun, was recruited by his parents to help.

He could only stay at home diligently hosting guests, serving tea, pouring water, washing fruits, and by the end of the day, his face was stiff from plastered smiles.

"This is really like ’the poor are ignored in the busy city, the rich have distant relatives coming from the mountains’!"

Looking at the bustling and noisy scene at home.

Listening to everyone’s words of praise and admiration for his parents, Jiang Bing mumbled softly.

Starting early in the morning, nearly thirty groups of relatives came and went by now.

It’s almost like how it was when both older brothers got married!

Although Jiang Wen and Tian Xiaomei have always kept a low profile.

Even after the old couple went to Beijing, they didn’t brag to anyone.

Nor did they post anything on social media.

But still, some attentive people managed to find clues indicating that the Old Jiang family really had made it big.

There are no secrets in this world.

When Jiang Tao decided to recruit villagers from Jiang Family Manor to work at the food factory, he knew his family starting a company wouldn’t stay hidden for long.

He just didn’t expect it to get exposed so quickly.

While Jiang Wen and Tian Xiaomei were busy greeting relatives, their vanity was greatly satisfied by all the compliments and accolades!

In the entire Jiang Family Manor, besides the village chief’s uncle who retired from the army enjoying this kind of treatment, it’s just the two of them.

The Old Jiang Family has really brought honor to their branch of the family.

Although Jiang Wen knew these relatives were coming for their son’s influence, he still felt comforted in his heart!

The members of the intelligence station at Jiang Family Manor’s village entrance also moved to Jiang Wen’s doorstep today.

Watching the hustle and bustle at Old Jiang’s house, one after another, they began gossiping.

"Jiang Wen’s family has really made it big this year, look at these relatives rushing to bring gifts, some of them haven’t been in contact for over ten years."

"During the New Year, Jiang Wen’s second child drove back a Mercedes. How long has it been since then? I heard this time they drove back two!"

"I heard from our grandson that the two Mercedes cars brought back by Jiang Wen’s family cost a combined three to four million! Who in our village can take out that kind of money!"

"Even if the village chief’s son could come up with that much money, he wouldn’t spend it on two cars!"

"Three to four million is enough to buy three to four full houses in Ping County! We wouldn’t even dream of it."

"That’s why people say Jiang Wen’s family really made it big this time! It seems so sudden too."

"Did they win the lottery? Like winning tens of millions all of a sudden?"

"Who knows! Anyway, they’re genuinely rich now, they’ve turned their fortunes around!"

"Life’s destiny is predetermined, last year Jiang Wen and his wife were still laboring with me,

this year I’m still doing labor work, and they’re now leaders in their son’s factory!"

"Speaking of Jiang Wen’s second kid’s food factory, I heard the minimum salary there is over 5000."

"They also provide housing, plus they pay for pensions, so you get to receive a Beijing pension upon retirement."

"That’s why all these relatives are coming by, trying to connect and hoping Jiang Wen’s second son will arrange a job for them!"

"Since childhood, I saw Jiang Wen’s second kid had potential, and it turns out I was right!"

"Sigh! If only we had such a talented child, we’d also enjoy the blessings!"

The group of elders by the Jiang Family Manor’s intelligence station pointed fingers at the entrance of Jiang Tao’s parents’ house, full of envy and jealousy in their words.

The hustle and bustle at Old Jiang’s house only started to calm down after 5 PM.

The relatives who came to build connections were quite measured, and no one overstayed for a meal to avoid resentment.

The idle elderly in the village, who had nothing better to do, saw that there was no more excitement at Old Jiang’s place and returned to the village entrance.

The village entrance was always bustling with people coming and going, plenty of topics for discussion.

"Mom and Dad, you’re still smiling after all that, I’ve been exhausted for a day, more tired than working a full day!"

Jiang Bing complained loudly as he cleaned up the tea table filled with disposable cups.

On the first day of the holiday, he planned to go out and enjoy a leisurely tour and a good lunch.

But...

Early in the morning, his parents called him out from bed to entertain the visiting relatives.

From just past 7 AM, hosting continued until after 5 PM ended.

in the morning to 5 in the evening, more than a regular working day, more exhausting!

"You young girls don’t understand anything! Think about why people don’t go to other houses, but come to ours."

Jiang Wen puffed out a cigarette from the pack of high-end Tianye cigarettes gifted by his son, lighting and taking a deep puff.

Having been flattered the whole day, Old Jiang was satisfied.

Jiang Bing pouted and said, "Why do they all come to our house? Isn’t it all because of my second brother?

They’re all here to flatter my second brother. He’s not here, so they’re all flattering you instead."
