"Mom, what is a cemetery keeper?"

Da Bao looked at Wang Chunyan with a naive and puzzled expression and asked.

Everyone was still in shock from what Shen Jingjing and Shen Yingying had just said and hadn't recovered yet.

What do you mean Shen Ci is the highest earner in the family?

Do you have a cemetery project in hand?

How much would the cemetery project in Longcheng cost?

Wang Chunyan slowly withdrew her suspicious gaze and looked at her son, saying, "Don't ask around."

Whether it's true or not, she won't let her son become a cemetery caretaker. What kind of respectable job is that? Don't let him get entangled with anything unclean.

Shen Mingming's anger subsided almost instantly. He had clearly sensed that Aci was different from when she was a child, but he had assumed she had just grown up and hadn't thought much of it.

did not expect……

"Let's talk about Da Bao later, after he finishes his college entrance exam." Shen Mingming backed down, not pressing too hard.

He was thinking that after his sister got married, he would find an opportunity to bring it up with his brother-in-law alone. As the older brother, he would personally ask for it, and the other party would feel obligated to agree.

That night, Shen Chengcheng returned home late again, this time with a long face, clearly unhappy.

As soon as he entered the door, Zheng Hong grabbed him, but this time she didn't scold or question him. Instead, she excitedly told Shen Chengcheng what she had heard at the dinner table that day.

"The whole family misunderstood. They all thought that the eldest sister's family's situation had improved because Ali had become a star, but it was actually because of Aci!"

Shen Chengcheng was in a bad mood after losing money. Hearing this, he frowned and said, "Because nobody has anything to do with me, and they won't give me the money!"

"Tsk!" Zheng Hong glared at him. "Look at you saying such things again. Ali isn't my eldest sister's biological daughter, and we've never met her. But Aci is different; you're her second uncle."

As she spoke, Zheng Hong hesitated, "But Aci is a cold person. She hardly speaks at home this time. She's like an outsider. Not only does she not talk to us, but she also only called the old lady 'Grandma' twice. She's not close to anyone in the family."

“That’s to be expected. The old lady isn’t close to her either. She only likes her grandson.” Shen Chengcheng knew this perfectly well and scoffed, “You’re just lucky to have given birth to Tao Tao in one pregnancy. Otherwise, the old lady would have forced you to have more.”

"Besides, Aci has hardly ever come back in all her years, and she doesn't usually have any contact with us, so it's normal for her to be distant."

As Shen Chengcheng spoke, he took off his shoes, socks, and clothes and rolled onto the bed, prompting Zheng Hong to reach out and pull him back: "Go take a shower, I just changed the sheets!"

On this day, He Meifeng got married, and the wedding venue was the "Longyang Hotel".

The Shen family went except for the children. That's how it is in small towns; everyone knows each other. Plus, He Meifeng has a showy personality, so she wants to invite everyone to witness these kinds of events.

Shen Jingjing tidied up briefly and took the red envelopes she had prepared beforehand: "Aci, you and your aunt can make your own arrangements today. I'm going to a banquet and will be back in the afternoon."

Shen Ci didn't want to join in the fun, so she nodded and told her mother to go without worry.

The restaurant entrance was decorated in a very festive manner. Shen Jingjing had just gotten out of the car when Hu Xiaoyan called her over.

"Jingjing, you just arrived too?"

Shen Jingjing was also a little surprised to see Hu Xiaoyan: "You didn't go to watch the wedding procession this morning?"

"What's so interesting about it? I already saw her wedding once, and I don't want to join in the fun this time."

The two entered the restaurant together as they talked. He Meifeng and her newlywed husband were greeting guests at the entrance of the banquet hall.

"Jingjing, Xiaoyan."

"Happy wedding!" The couple greeted each other with formal smiles, simultaneously handing over red envelopes.

The amount in the red envelopes was agreed upon by the two of them, and the face value was the same.

He Meifeng thanked her and accepted the gift, then hurriedly pulled her husband aside to introduce him: "My husband Xiaoyan knows him. Jingjing, let me introduce you. This is Yu Zhiwen. We met in high school, long after you had left Longyang."

"He is now doing import and export business in Longyang. The business is doing well, with a minimum of several hundred products per year."

Hu Xiaoyan secretly pursed her lips, thinking to herself, "Who asked you?"

Shen Jingjing simply nodded politely in greeting, when He Meifeng suddenly shouted loudly towards the distance, "Fourth Brother! Fourth Brother!"

Hearing the commotion, the fourth son of the He family jogged over from nearby: "What's wrong?"

He Meifeng gave a wink and said, "Jingjing, Shen Jingjing, do you remember her?"

He Lao Si was dark-skinned and thin, and both his dark skin and thinness made him look older. Although he was three years younger than Shen Jingjing, he looked much older.

"I remember." When He Lao Si saw the beautiful and elegant Shen Jingjing, he couldn't help but grin, which made his face full of wrinkles.

He Meifeng looked at Shen Jingjing and laughed, "Do you still remember my younger brother? When we were little, he always liked to secretly pull your hair from behind. He was such a naughty kid."

Shen Jingjing remembered that He Meifeng hurriedly asked He Laosi to personally lead Shen Jingjing inside.

"Jingjing, where are you now?" Old He asked casually.

"Longcheng".

"So far away? Why don't you come back? Your hometown is so much better and more peaceful!"

Hu Xiaoyan immediately interrupted the conversation, saying, "Jingjing, your aunt is over there."

Shen Jingjing looked over and saw the old lady sitting at a table with a group of elderly people. Judging from her smiling face, she must be in a good mood.

Hu Xiaoyan grabbed her arm: "Go over and say hello."

They simply left He Laosi standing there, unattended.

"Don't waste your breath on him. This He Laosi is a scoundrel. Everyone in Longyang knows he beats his wife."

Shen Jingjing raised an eyebrow; Hu Xiaoyan had already pulled her to the old lady's table.

The old lady saw her daughter and, unusually, beamed with joy. She quickly introduced her to the people at the table: "This is my eldest daughter, Jingjing."

The elderly people at the table took the opportunity to praise her, complimenting her beauty and filial piety. It was clear that the old lady had been showing off quite a bit earlier, as she was adorned with gold jewelry that was even heavier than what the bride was wearing.

"Mom, drink less and take care of yourself," Shen Jingjing advised.

The old lady was in a good mood and nodded obediently, then turned around and asked her daughter, "You too, don't drink too much."

Shen Jingjing was seated at the same table as Hu Xiaoyan, a arrangement made specifically by He Meifeng. Shen Jingjing might not recognize the people at this table, but they were all her classmates from elementary and middle school.

Many people no longer recognized Shen Jingjing, and their inquisitive gazes swept over her, because Shen Jingjing clearly did not look like a local from Longyang.

It wasn't until someone with a good memory tentatively recognized her: "You, you're Shen Jingjing, right?"

Shen Jingjing smiled at the other person, and Hu Xiaoyan said from the side, "See, I told you, someone would definitely recognize you!"

"You really are Shen Jingjing?" The man asked with some surprise, looking at Shen Jingjing, "Do you remember me? Can you still recognize me?"
