With global currency devaluation, I'll wear these back and take my whole family flying!

"That can't be."

The old lady, unusually lucid for once, explained, "Her boyfriend is a businessman, and he's very well-off."

The second son said the engagement ring on his daughter's hand alone cost several thousand yuan. How could someone else be eyeing his daughter's house?

At this moment, before He Meifeng could speak again, Zheng Hong quickly walked over from across the road: "Mom!"

"Sister Meifeng? You've come to see my eldest sister?"

"Yes." He Meifeng nodded, and because Zheng Hong was there, she didn't stay any longer and made an excuse to leave first.

Zheng Hong frowned as she watched He Meifeng's retreating figure. She and He Meifeng were about the same age. Although they hadn't had much contact, she had heard some of the gossip about them.

He Meifeng doesn't have a very good reputation.

"Mom, what did Sister Meifeng say to you?"

The old lady didn't hide anything: "She said she wanted me to help match your eldest sister with her fourth son."

The fourth son of the He family?

Zheng Hong immediately rolled her eyes: "Her fourth brother? Mom, don't listen to her. That fourth brother of the He family got divorced because he beat his wife and committed domestic violence. If eldest sister marries him, she'll be walking into a fire pit!"

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, the old lady's anger flared up instantly: "That heartless wretch! How could anyone do such a thing? She even made your eldest sister sell the house in Longcheng and bring it back to live with her fourth son! She's utterly ruthless!"

“I think she’s after my sister’s house in Longcheng. If she sells it, she can live a life of ease in Longyang.” Zheng Hong pulled the old lady home: “My sister is doing well now. We don’t need to get involved in her affairs. As long as she knows how to be filial to you, that’s enough.”

The old lady was furious. Luckily, her daughter had a boyfriend and was preparing to get married. If the He family had come to her to arrange a marriage years ago, she would definitely have introduced them to her daughter.

In the evening, Zheng Hong prepared another table full of dishes.

As soon as Wang Chunyan sat down at the table, she served Shen Jingjing a bowl of yellow croaker rice cake: "Jingjing, try this. This yellow croaker is really good. It's a rare find in Longyang. You can't usually buy it."

Shen Jingjing was a little surprised by her sister-in-law's sudden politeness, but she still reached out and took the food, saying, "Sister-in-law, I can do it myself. Please sit down and eat, don't be so polite."

Wang Chunyan smiled and turned to look at Shen Mingming.

The couple clearly had something on their minds. Shen Mingming hesitated, wanting to speak but holding back. Due to his personality and the pride of being the head of the family, he was too embarrassed to ask his sister for anything.

But this is a serious matter, so it's up to him to say it.

So he hesitated for a moment, then looked at Shen Jingjing and suddenly said, "Jingjing, there's something I want to discuss with you."

Shen Jingjing, holding the bowl, looked up at her older brother and asked, "What is it?"

“Dabao is taking the college entrance exam this year, but his grades are really not good.” Shen Mingming was a little embarrassed when she mentioned her son’s grades. Xiaobao is still young and it’s hard to tell, but Dabao and Erbao’s grades are not good, and they did not inherit his genes at all.

"I was thinking if it doesn't work out, I'll send him away. Doesn't your boyfriend own a company? Could you arrange for Da Bao to get some experience there?"

Hearing this, Shen Jingjing frowned: "Brother, Da Bao is too young and has no social experience. You can't just throw him into Longcheng all at once."

“Isn’t that what we have, Jingjing?” Wang Chunyan added, “You two are getting married soon, then you’ll be family. Shouldn’t it be our duty to help out Dabao?”

"And he'll do whatever you want; he's not picky. It's mainly to train him."

Shen Jingjing glanced at Da Bao subconsciously. He kept his head down and didn't say anything, just kept eating.

Just then, Shen Ci slowly put down his chopsticks, looked at Shen Mingming and said, "Uncle, Uncle Jiang's company is a big company. No matter what position you are in, you have to go through an interview. And the interview threshold is very high. At the very least, you need a master's degree."

"With Da Bao's educational background, the only jobs he can do in Longcheng are delivering food and working as a courier. If he's not afraid of hard work, I can help arrange something for him."

This time, even without Shen Mingming's objection, the old lady immediately objected: "How can that be? Da Bao can't endure that kind of hardship!"

She doted on her grandson, raising him with love and care.

"I only said that because my aunt said he could do anything, but he definitely can't get into Uncle Jiang's company. He doesn't even meet the requirements for security guards."

The security guards at Jiangdong Group's headquarters are all professional soldiers with demobilization certificates. Their salaries are basically the same as those of ordinary white-collar workers, and they also have five social insurances and two housing funds.

"Isn't this family? Shouldn't we be able to take care of them?" Wang Chunyan looked at Shen Jingjing and tried to pressure her with emotional appeals: "Right, Jingjing?"

“No.” Shen Ci refused again on behalf of her mother: “This matter is not negotiable, so Uncle and Aunt should stop thinking about it.”

"You child, why are you meddling in when adults are talking and discussing things?" Shen Mingming was a little angry.

Shen Ci was, after all, a junior, and such disrespect for his elders showed that he didn't take him seriously.

But Shen Ci never took him seriously at all. He simply raised his eyelids and said softly, "My words can represent my family and my mother."

“Aci is right, I basically listen to her now,” Shen Jingjing said, supporting her daughter.

Everyone at the table froze, and Shen Mingming looked at her sister in disbelief: "Isn't this ridiculous? Aci is still a child, you should listen to her..."

“Uncle,” Shen Ci interrupted Shen Mingming, saying seriously, “If you insist on finding a place for Da Bao to train, we have one at home.”

Shen Mingming looked at Shen Ci in confusion: "What?"

“I have a cemetery project in the mountains on the outskirts of Longcheng. If Da Bao is willing, he can work as a ‘cemetery keeper’ for that cemetery. This job pays very well, and I can pay him according to market rates.”

With a loud "smack," Shen Mingming slammed her hand on the table in anger upon hearing this, glaring at Shen Ci and shouting, "Have you gone too far? Making up such a thing to curse your brother, how could you be so vicious!"

The caretaker of the cemetery?

Fortunately she could figure it out!

"That's right, how could you say such a thing? It's so unlucky!" The old lady was also quite angry.

Shen Ci sat there expressionless, her tone still calm: "Everything I said is true. You can ask my mother if you don't believe me."

Everyone subconsciously looked at Shen Jingjing, who nodded slightly: "Aci is right. You may not know our family's current situation. The one who earns the most money in the family right now is not Ali or me, but Aci."

“She invests and runs businesses in Longcheng, and the cemetery project is currently her largest investment project.”

Shen Yingying also said, "I can also testify that what Aci said is true. You all underestimate Aci. She is actually the most capable person."

Shen Ci was too lazy to waste words and stated once again: "You can continue to consider it. Once you've thought it through, I'll reserve the position of tomb keeper for Da Bao."
