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

The departure of Chen Dong and Chen Meiju, the aunt and niece, left the Xu family members dumbfounded. They looked at each other, unable to come to their senses for a long time.

Xu, the scholar, opened his mouth as if to say something, but then closed it again.

Liu Fangfang stood there awkwardly, still clutching the handkerchief she had used to wipe Li Dongdong's tears.

Xu Maocai scratched his head, looking completely bewildered.

Li Dongdong stomped her feet in anger, but there was nothing she could do.

Old Master Xu Youde sighed heavily and went back into the house, leaning on his cane.

Wang Meimei followed behind, looking rather annoyed, muttering something under her breath.

For a moment, this once bustling and noisy courtyard fell into an eerie silence.

The silence seemed to swallow people whole, and everyone was lost in deep thought amidst this sudden change.

The crowd that had been watching the show from the wall eventually went downstairs and back to their rooms when they realized there was no more entertainment to see.

Chen Dong, holding his second aunt Chen Meiju's hand, hurriedly left the Xu family's courtyard.

Those resolute backs seemed to be declaring their rebellion against this oppressive home.

Once outside, Chen Dong hurriedly pushed his somewhat old but spotlessly clean bicycle over.

Chen Dong patted the back seat and said gently to Chen Meiju, "Second Aunt, please get in. We're going to the shopping street to buy a three-wheeled vehicle."

Chen Meiju hesitated for a moment, then gently got on the bicycle.

The two remained silent throughout the journey, with only the creaking of the bicycle chain as it turned, seemingly telling the story of their inner turmoil.

Chen Dong frowned, his eyes fixed firmly on the road ahead, and he pushed off the ground with even more force.

I secretly vowed to help my second aunt set up her chicken farm so that she could live a good life.

Chen Meiju sat in the back seat, staring blankly at the scenery rushing past on the roadside.

The hurtful words spoken in the Xu family's courtyard were still echoing in my mind.

Tears welled up in Chen Meiju's eyes, but she forced herself not to cry out loud.

Upon arriving at the commercial street, Chen Dong carefully found a place where he wouldn't get in the way and parked his bicycle.

As soon as I turned around, I saw that my second aunt, Chen Meiju, had red eyes.

The bloodshot eyes seemed to record the grievances and hardships she had endured along the way; she had clearly been silently shedding tears the entire journey.

Chen Dong felt a pang of pain in his heart and quickly stepped forward, taking his aunt's hands in his own.

Then Chen Dong gently comforted her, "Second Aunt, don't be sad. Look, we're about to buy a three-wheeled vehicle, and the chicken farm will definitely be settled."

"Once the chicken farm makes money, my cousins' lives will get better."

"We no longer have to put up with the Xu family's attitude, and they won't dare to look down on us anymore."

"From now on, we'll live with our heads held high and let them all see what you're capable of."

Hearing these heartwarming words, Chen Meiju sniffed, nodded slightly, and felt a little better.

A glimmer of light appeared in those once dim eyes.

Chen Meiju forced a smile, raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, her fingers trembling slightly, still bearing traces of tears.

She tried to make her voice sound cheerful, and reminded Chen Dong with a smile, "Dongzi, let's not delay, let's go buy a three-wheeled vehicle."

Looking at his second aunt's feigned strength, Chen Dong felt as if countless needles were pricking his heart, causing him great pain and making him feel increasingly miserable.

He nodded heavily, his eyes filled with heartache and determination, and said, "Second Aunt, let's not rush. Let me show you around first."

“You’ve been in the Xu family for so many years, and you’ve never really bought anything for yourself. Let’s just indulge ourselves this time.”

As he spoke, he led Chen Meiju slowly down the bustling commercial street.

Chen Meiju, like a child who has just arrived in the city, opened her eyes wide, full of novelty and anticipation.

Looking around at the bustling scene of the commercial street.

The street is lined with shops, and the shop windows display all kinds of exquisite daily necessities and fashionable clothes.

The dazzling array of colors overwhelmed her.

Those exquisite objects seemed to possess a kind of magic, deeply attracting her.

Although Chen Meiju also lived in the county seat of Nanjiang County, she was considered a city dweller.

But Chen Meiju was uneducated, had no skills, no secure job, and got married young.

This meant that Chen Meiju usually didn't have enough money to go shopping in the commercial street.

Most of the places I go to are urban villages or street markets where I buy things.

Chen Dong kept a close eye on his second aunt's gaze, so he was in no hurry to buy a three-wheeled vehicle.

He gently tugged at Chen Meiju's arm and said with a smile, "Second Aunt, come on, let's go into this shop and take a look. Maybe we can find something you like."

The two entered a shop filled with all kinds of daily necessities.

Chen Dong picked up an exquisitely carved comb, handed it to Chen Meiju, and said with a smile, "Second Aunt, look at this comb, isn't it beautiful?"

"You'll feel good using it every day when you comb your hair."

"Your old comb is worn out, it's time to get a new one."

Chen Meiju's eyes lit up, but her hand unconsciously pulled back, and she nervously clutched the hem of her clothes.

Then Chen Meiju waved her hands repeatedly, declining, saying, "Dongzi, don't waste money, your second aunt doesn't need anything."

"This old comb is still usable; it's a shame to throw it away."

Chen Dong refused to comply and shoved the comb into her hand without saying a word.

Then, feigning anger, he said, "Second Aunt, please don't stand on ceremony with me. This won't cost much. If you don't accept it, it means you don't acknowledge me as your nephew."

Hearing him say that, Chen Meiju's eyes reddened again.

She could only blush and carefully take the comb, as if holding some precious treasure.

Chen Meiju muttered to herself, "This child, always wasting money."

After leaving the general merchandise store, Chen Dong pulled Chen Meiju into a clothing store.

The store had a variety of novel and stylish clothes, and Chen Dong immediately took a liking to a plain-colored floral dress.

He thought his second aunt would look great in it, so he quickly took it off, held it up in front of Chen Meiju, and said with a smile, "Second aunt, try this on. Look how elegant the pattern is. It will definitely make you look younger."

“You always wear those old clothes, it’s time to change your style.”

Chen Meiju looked at the dress with obvious delight, but still refused, saying, "Dongzi, how much does this cost?"

"My second aunt is already this old, why would she wear a new dress? It's a waste."

Chen Dong pulled her toward the fitting room, saying as he pushed her, "Second Aunt, don't worry about the money, it's free to try it on."

"Please grant me this wish this once and see how good my taste is in clothes."

Chen Meiju couldn't refuse, so she took the dress and went into the fitting room.

A short while later, Chen Meiju came out after changing into a dress, looking a little embarrassed with her head down and her hands awkwardly tugging at the hem of her skirt.
