When Jiang Tao was at home planting trees, watering them, and studying his Bitcoin USB drive.
The atmosphere at Mr. Jiang and Nanny Jiangâs house resembled a festive event, with waves of guests coming and going.
Jiang Wenâs many uncles, aunts, and those cousins who hadnât 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 Xiaomeiâs 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 âthe poor are ignored in the busy city, the rich have distant relatives coming from the mountainsâ!"
Looking at the bustling and noisy scene at home.
Listening to everyoneâs 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.
Itâs 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 didnât 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 wouldnât stay hidden for long.
He just didnât 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 chiefâs uncle who retired from the army enjoying this kind of treatment, itâs 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 sonâs influence, he still felt comforted in his heart!
The members of the intelligence station at Jiang Family Manorâs village entrance also moved to Jiang Wenâs doorstep today.
Watching the hustle and bustle at Old Jiangâs house, one after another, they began gossiping.
"Jiang Wenâs family has really made it big this year, look at these relatives rushing to bring gifts, some of them havenât been in contact for over ten years."
"During the New Year, Jiang Wenâs 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 Wenâs family cost a combined three to four million! Who in our village can take out that kind of money!"
"Even if the village chiefâs son could come up with that much money, he wouldnât spend it on two cars!"
"Three to four million is enough to buy three to four full houses in Ping County! We wouldnât even dream of it."
"Thatâs why people say Jiang Wenâs 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, theyâre genuinely rich now, theyâve turned their fortunes around!"
"Lifeâs destiny is predetermined, last year Jiang Wen and his wife were still laboring with me,
this year Iâm still doing labor work, and theyâre now leaders in their sonâs factory!"
"Speaking of Jiang Wenâs second kidâs 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."
"Thatâs why all these relatives are coming by, trying to connect and hoping Jiang Wenâs second son will arrange a job for them!"
"Since childhood, I saw Jiang Wenâs second kid had potential, and it turns out I was right!"
"Sigh! If only we had such a talented child, weâd also enjoy the blessings!"
The group of elders by the Jiang Family Manorâs intelligence station pointed fingers at the entrance of Jiang Taoâs parentsâ house, full of envy and jealousy in their words.
The hustle and bustle at Old Jiangâs 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 Jiangâs 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, youâre still smiling after all that, Iâve 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 donât understand anything! Think about why people donât 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? Isnât it all because of my second brother?
Theyâre all here to flatter my second brother. Heâs not here, so theyâre all flattering you instead."
