Chapter 439: Chapter 205: Poverty Finds No Friends in the Bustling City, Wealth Attracts Distant Relatives in the Remote Mountains! (Part 2)

"No matter why they’re here, you should know, Third Brother, only those with great abilities receive such treatment."

"Look around Jiang Family Manor. Besides your village head uncle’s second uncle, who else gets this kind of attention when they return home?"

"Even our relatives who haven’t been in contact for decades are coming to connect with us."

"Honestly, dad isn’t actually against it, he’s rather pleased."

"As the saying goes, ’Being rich without returning home is like wearing fine clothes at night.’

"Even Xiang Yu, the Chu Overlord, wanted to return home in glory after gaining power."

Jiang Bing listened to his dad’s words and found some sense in them.

Just like Dongzi from East Dog, who would send gifts to his hometown folks during the festive season.

Not lacking money is one thing, but building a good reputation and gaining local prestige is another.

"Alright, alright, you two stop chatting and get moving. Didn’t the second brother say we’re going to Baiyulan Hotel tonight."

"He said he invited many guests, we should go early to greet them."

Tian Xiaomei urged the two, picked up a broom and dustpan, and sped up the cleaning.

When Jiang Bing heard her mom mention going to Baiyulan Restaurant for dinner, she had no complaints left, only joy in her heart.

Though her dad and mom didn’t know the significance of tonight’s meal, Jiang Bing did!

Tonight, Second Brother had invited all the shareholders of the Tian Family Manor cattle farm project, it must be about sharing the profits!

Jiang Bing had invested 200,000 in the cattle farm project and could earn about 340,000 back!

In a little over a month since the New Year, one project earned her a net 140,000!

This profit is equivalent to what she made from running an online store for two years!

"Dad, Mom, Little Sister, you’re busy."

"Dad, Mom, Little Sister, sorry we’re late."

"Grandpa, Grandma, Little Aunt~"

Jiang He and Zhang Xiaoyan entered the yard with their two sons, greeting their parents and sister.

"Wow! Boss Jiang, you’re looking great! Much better than your previous black bear spirit-like appearance."

Jiang Bing turned to see her big brother and, after a quick glance, complimented him with a smile.

A black suit, black leather shoes, a blue shirt, with a short and neat hairstyle.

Jiang He now looked completely different compared to the overworked man from the factory before the New Year.

The eldest sister-in-law, Zhang Xiaoyan, who always had a sad and worried look, appeared much brighter now.

It’s no exaggeration to say Zhang Xiaoyan smiled more in one day now than she used to in her entire previous life.

Jiang He and Zhang Xiaoyan had just taken over Li Town’s Jiantao Supermarket for exactly one month.

The couple was so excited after reviewing the accounts last night that they hardly slept.

In the past month, Jiantao Supermarket’s total sales reached 160,000+.

After expenses, the net profit was over 40,000.

Monthly income of 40,000!

Previously, Jiang He worked tirelessly day and night at the factory, earning only about 40,000 to 50,000 a year.

Now, they earn in a month what used to take a year!

Though the supermarket is also busy, the fatigue from a day’s work is much better than the never-ending work at the factory!

Of course, the key thing is that they earn much more than at the factory!

The couple is always grateful to their family for offering them such a great livelihood.

Zhang Xiaoyan frequently calls Xu Li to exchange warm words, and their bond improved significantly.

"Big Brother, Xiaoyan, you’re here. How are the kids doing?"

After greeting her eldest son and daughter-in-law, Tian Xiaomei looked at Zhang Xiaoyan’s belly.

She already knew about Zhang Xiaoyan’s pregnancy, having discussed it over the phone with Xu Li, who also told her mother-in-law.

Word quickly spread, and soon everyone knew the Old Jiang Family was expecting a new member.

Xu Li, seeing three women suddenly pregnant around her like mushrooms after the rain, felt a sense of urgency.

"Pretty good, Mom. Just checked at the hospital a few days ago, everything is developing well."

Zhang Xiaoyan gently caressed her belly, her face beaming with maternal glow.

"That’s good! Before this year’s New Year, our Old Jiang Family will have another addition."

"Big Brother, you must take good care of Xiaoyan, don’t let her work herself to death like before."

Tian Xiaomei looked at her eldest son and thoughtfully advised him.

"Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll take good care of Xiaoyan."

"Grandma, don’t worry! We’ll also take good care of Mom!"

"Grandma! My mom said this time it’s likely a little sister! We’ll soon have a sister too!"

The family chatted for a while in the yard, then left together.

The seven-seater Mercedes GLS was just enough for all of them.

When Jiang Bing arrived at Baiyulan Hotel, she saw that Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, and their family were already waiting in the parking lot.

After parking, they all got out and exchanged pleasantries with Jiang Tao and the others.

Mr. Xu, Nanny Xu, Mr. Jiang, and Nanny Jiang went into the hotel to wait in the reserved private room.

Jiang Bing also took her two nephews inside to play with Xu Sha and Jiang Xue.

Big Brother Jiang He and Sister-in-law Zhang Xiaoyan stayed outside to wait with Jiang Tao and Xu Li for the other guests who hadn’t yet arrived.

While waiting, the two brothers and sisters-in-law chatted and laughed lightheartedly.

Their bond of shared blood was stronger than any friendship.

Jiang He and Zhang Xiaoyan asked Jiang Tao and Xu Li about their life in Beijing.

Jiang Tao and Xu Li, in turn, showed concern for how the couple’s supermarket business was doing.

The care and greetings exchanged warmed each other’s hearts.

After a short wait, the younger uncle arrived with his partner, Tian Mingrong.

A little later, Liu Zhiyuan drove in with his cousin, Hao Zhiming, and Shan Yufei, the three of them arriving fashionably late.

"Sorry, Brother Jiang and Sister-in-law! We had a little accident on the road which delayed us."

Liu Zhiyuan apologized sincerely. He and Hao Zhiming, along with Shan Yufei, left even earlier than Mr. and Mrs. Jiang.

They hadn’t anticipated that at a T-junction in town, a female driver would rear-end them.

Dealing with the accident took about half an hour.

"It’s alright, as long as no one was hurt. Small accidents are inevitable when you’re on the road."

Jiang Tao smiled as he patted Liu Zhiyuan’s shoulder to reassure him. He didn’t blame Liu Zhiyuan at all.

Besides, it was just around 6:40 PM, about 20 minutes before the scheduled time, so it wasn’t late.

"Hey? Zhiyuan, look, isn’t that the X3 that hit us?"

Shan Yufei glanced over and saw a red BMW X3 driving towards them.

Hao Zhiming appeared tense as he warned Jiang Tao and Xu Li:

"Brother Jiang, Sister-in-law, get back! That woman drives a bit recklessly!"

Hearing Hao Zhiming’s words, Jiang Tao and Xu Li quickly stepped back, hiding between the Mercedez G-Class and Mercedez GLS.

Liu Zhiyuan, Hao Zhiming, and Shan Yufei quickly jumped aside, avoiding the damaged-front red BMW X3 like it was a tiger.

Squeak!

Under the group’s cautious eyes, the BMW X3 came to a stop in front of them.

The driver’s door opened, and a woman in her thirties with immaculate makeup stepped out.

She wore a cropped black leather jacket, blue jeans, and brown Martin boots.

Her attire was both refined and stylish.

"Liu Yuan?"

"Jiang Tao! What a surprise, didn’t expect to run into you here. Is this your partner? She’s stunning!"

As Jiang Tao and Liu Yuan made eye contact, they greeted each other simultaneously.

"Brother Jiang! Sister-in-law, what a coincidence! You’re here at Baiyulan for dinner too?"

The passenger door of the BMW X3 opened, and He Jing got out, smiling as she greeted Jiang Tao and Xu Li.

He Jing was also wearing a youthful outfit.

She had on a brown sleek leather jacket, a black fitted dress underneath, and white sneakers.

She smiled brightly as she greeted Jiang Tao and Xu Li.
