"Mom, his dad said there's no point in talking if it's not 200,000."
"200,000? Mom has saved about 130,000 over the years, but there's still a shortfall..." Auntie's helpless voice rang out again.
Fang Chen possessed profound inner strength, and he could clearly hear the conversation between his second aunt and cousin. Upon hearing this, he had an idea, and carrying bags of gifts, he went inside.
My second aunt and cousin Fang Yang sat in the main room, their brows furrowed in worry.
"Second Aunt, A-Yang, I'm back." Fang Chen walked in.
"Ah Chen, where have you been all year? You've been nowhere to be seen for so long!"
What kind of work are you doing now?
"You can't keep running around like this. You need to find a stable job. Xiao Chen, have you found a girlfriend yet?"
"With your uncle gone, your second aunt has to look after you!"
When her second aunt saw Fang Chen, her worried brows immediately relaxed, and she started nagging.
"Second Aunt, I've been doing trading business this past year and have made some money. I might not be home often in the future. I came back this time to see you and Xiaoyang," Fang Cheng said sincerely.
To be honest, it's been a year since I last saw my second aunt.
Listening to my second aunt's nagging now, I felt a deep sense of warmth and affection.
It felt like stepping back into the past.
"Chen, you haven't changed at all. By the way, you haven't eaten yet, have you?" Auntie Fang held Fang Chen's hand and turned to Fang Yang. "Xiao Yang, keep your brother company for a while. Mom will make some noodles for your brother."
Fang Chen had initially intended to let it go, but unwilling to refuse his second aunt's kindness, he chatted with his cousin Fang Yang for a while.
Soon, the noodles were served, and they still tasted just like home.
Fang Chen ate with great relish.
At that moment, Grey Wolf, drawn by the aroma, slipped in through the gate.
Upon seeing Fang Chen, it immediately wagged its tail and rubbed against his trouser leg.
Those dog eyes were full of hope.
"It seems to be saying, take me there, I miss my dog aunties."
Fang Chen patted Grey Wolf's head.
It's been a year since we last saw Grey Wolf, and he looks much older.
"Second Aunt, I might not be coming back often in the future. I'm busy in another city and sometimes I miss home. I'd like to bring this Grey Wolf with me as a companion. What do you think?" Fang Chen said to his second aunt, stroking Grey Wolf's head.
“Auntie Grey Wolf has been raising him for many years. There’s still some money in here. Consider it my purchase of Grey Wolf.” Fang Chen said, handing his aunt a China Construction Bank card.
The card has 200,000 yuan, which can be considered as turning Grey Wolf away from his bad behavior.
Another reason is that it's also a way of helping my second aunt. After all, my grandfather raised me, and my second aunt has helped me a lot over the years.
Now that I've made my fortune, I naturally have to help her out.
"Ah Chen, I don't want your money, I really can't accept it. You're not married yet, you need to be frugal!" Auntie Er hurriedly declined.
"Second Aunt, it's not much money, but you've helped me a lot over the years. This is just a small token of my appreciation." Fang Chen slipped the card into his second aunt's bib pouch. The PIN was written on the back of the card.
“Ah Chen, you’ll be lonely out there all by yourself. Why don’t you take this Grey Wolf with you? This beast has hardly come home in the past year.” After thinking about it, Auntie Er didn’t refuse.
I've raised this Grey Wolf for several years, and to be honest, I'm a little reluctant to part with him.
However, Ah Chen is not an outsider.
It's the same as letting him raise it.
"Grey Wolf, come with me!" After saying goodbye to his second aunt, Fang Chen waved to Grey Wolf and walked outside.
Grey Wolf was very dependent on Fang Chen, so he immediately wagged his tail and followed behind.
Back in his home, Fang Chen opened the portal and entered the Overlord's Hall.
...
At this moment, at my second aunt's house.
Fang Yang rode in from outside on his motorcycle.
"Mom, do you know how much money is in the card?" Fang Yang asked his second aunt with a happy expression.
“Yangzi, your brother must have heard what we were saying. We still have to pay him back. He hasn’t found a wife yet.” Auntie didn’t seem happy. She had watched Fang Chen grow up and treated him like her own son.
Uncle never married, and on his deathbed, he instructed his son to take good care of Ah Chen and keep a close eye on him at all times.
"Mom, there's 200,000 inside!"
Fang Yang said excitedly.
With this money, his marriage to Xiaoqian would be settled.
"Wh...what? 200,000?!"
Upon hearing her son's words, the bowl in her hand fell to the ground and shattered with a crash.
"Son, we absolutely cannot touch this. We need to return it to Achen!" Auntie snatched the bank card and said urgently.
