Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

Chen Dong rode the slightly worn-out bicycle, which was polished to a shine.

With a gentle breeze blowing, we soon arrived at the courtyard where my second aunt, Chen Meiju, lived.

He parked the bicycle neatly and smoothly in one swift motion.

Then, Chen Dong steadily lifted the bag full of fresh fruit in his hand; the bag was heavy.

It contained apples, bananas, and oranges, all specially selected by him for his second aunt; he bought a little of each.

With long strides, Chen Dong walked towards the villa where his second aunt lived.

As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, I saw my second aunt, Chen Meiju, busily working.

She was sitting in front of an enormous washbasin, which resembled a small laundry tub, piled high with all sorts of clothes.

There were work pants with mud spots and children's clothes covered in stains, piled up layer upon layer, almost forming a small mountain.

Chen Meiju bent over, her hands constantly stirring and rubbing in the water.

Her forehead was covered in sweat, and a few strands of hair were soaked with sweat and stuck messily to her cheeks. Her eyes revealed exhaustion and helplessness.

Chen Meiju only noticed when Chen Dong walked closer and blocked the warm sunlight because he was so focused on his work.

As she looked up, Chen Meiju muttered, "Almost done washing, don't rush."

As soon as Chen Meiju finished speaking, she looked up and saw her nephew, Chen Dong.

Chen Meiju's face instantly turned extremely embarrassed, and a blush quickly rose to her cheeks, spreading all the way to her ears.

Her eyes were filled with panic, and she didn't know where to put her hands.

She immediately recalled Chen Dong's earnest advice to her last time, telling her to be more assertive when facing difficulties from her husband's family.

But now, she is still the same, like a submissive punching bag, silently washing clothes for her husband's whole family.

Seeing his second aunt's embarrassed appearance, Chen Dong felt a pang of sadness and sighed heavily.

Then, Chen Dong called out, "Second Aunt."

Immediately afterwards, Chen Dong looked around.

Looking at the messy laundry tubs and the clothes still wet hanging on the clothesline.

Chen Dong asked helplessly in a low voice, "Second Aunt, where should I put the things?"

Chen Meiju seemed to snap out of her panic and quickly stopped what she was doing.

She frantically wiped the foam off her hands onto her apron, but the foam kept coming back up no matter how she wiped it off, as if she couldn't get it all off.

Chen Meiju stood up and somewhat awkwardly led Chen Dong back to the living room of the villa.

Throughout the journey, her head was almost touching her chest, her steps were slightly hurried, and she dared not look Chen Dong in the eye.

Upon entering the living room, Chen Dong casually placed the fruit on the somewhat old wooden table.

With a muffled thud, the fruit rolled slightly on the table.

Chen Dong took his second aunt Chen Meiju's hand and helped her sit down on the chair.

She pulled up a stool and sat down next to her second aunt, then began to explain the purpose of her visit.

Chen Dong first looked serious, then emphasized again in a heartfelt tone, "Second Aunt, you really can't continue like this, letting the husband's family in the courtyard oppress you."

"Look at yourself, busy from morning till night every day, so tired that you can't even straighten your back, have they ever felt even a little bit sorry for you?"

"If you keep going like this, when will it end?"

As he spoke, Chen Dong's eyes reddened slightly, and he held his aunt's hands tightly, as if trying to pass on his strength to her in this way.

Chen Meiju lowered her head helplessly, her hands nervously twisting together, her fingers white and wrinkled from being soaked in water for so long.

Chen Meiju stammered, "Dongzi, what can I do? Our family's income is low, and I'm uneducated. What kind of work can I find outside?"

"Although I suffer some mistreatment at home, at least I can still do some work and have food to eat."

"I'll just listen to what they're saying; it's better than nothing and starving to death on the streets."

Chen Meiju's voice was choked with sobs, and her eyes were filled with helplessness and despair about life.

Upon hearing this, Chen Dong immediately straightened his chest and said confidently, "Second Aunt, I'm here to solve your family's income problem."

"Don't worry, as long as you're willing, you'll definitely have a prosperous future, and you'll never have to suffer this humiliation again."

Chen Dong's eyes shone with a determined light, as if he could already see a bright future ahead.

Chen Meiju raised her head in confusion, looking at her little nephew with surprise and bewilderment in her eyes, as if she were looking at a stranger.

After a moment of stunned silence, Chen Meiju finally asked, "Dongzi, what can you do? You're still young, don't mess around, or you'll end up getting yourself into trouble."

Chen Dong leaned forward and said to Chen Meiju with great interest, "Second Aunt, listen to me. You know that open space on the edge of our old village, right?"

"The terrain there is flat, the water source is nearby, and the rent is cheap. It's simply a perfect place for us to raise chickens, prepared by God."

"Moreover, and most importantly, it's not far from our Nanjiang County, only 35 kilometers away."

"City people are so picky these days, they're really craving free-range chickens and eggs."

"If we raise high-quality chickens, we won't have to worry about selling them."

“I had already inquired about it before I came.”

"I have the money to buy chicks and feed in the early stages, so you don't need to worry about the money."

As Chen Dong spoke, he gestured with his hands, his face beaming with excitement and anticipation.

As Chen Meiju listened, a glimmer of light gradually appeared in her eyes, like a ray of dawn breaking through the darkness.

But she hesitated and didn't agree immediately. Instead, she asked in confusion, "Dongzi, where did you get so much money?"

"This is no small amount. We can't do anything unreliable. What if the money goes down the drain?"

Without batting an eye, Chen Dong replied in a serious tone, "Second Aunt, this is my father's savings."

"Don't worry, this money is what our family decided to use to help you, just so you can live a better life."

"We're family, so please don't take it personally."

Chen Dong didn't want his second aunt to feel guilty, so he told this white lie.

Chen Meiju was relieved; as long as the money came from a legitimate source, that was good.

But then Chen Meiju shook her head, a look of inferiority on her face, and muttered, "Dongzi, I'm afraid I won't do a good job."

“I’ve never managed anyone before, and I don’t know anything about raising chickens. If I lose money, how can I face your family?”

Chen Dong quickly grasped his second aunt's hand and comforted her, "Second aunt, don't think like that. You can learn if you don't understand."

"I will arrange for experts who know how to raise chickens and relevant books, and I will teach you step by step in the early stages."

"From selecting and raising chicks to preventing and controlling diseases, we'll teach you everything you need to know."
