Chapter 138: Chapter 115: A Lovely Wife at Home, Goji Berries Can’t Cure Everything!

After Jiang Bing finished eating, she didn’t forget to flatter her second sister-in-law, making Xu Li exceedingly happy.

"Then just stay with us from now on, I’ll cook for you every day."

Xu Li said with a sweet smile. She completely regarded Jiang Bing, her sister-in-law, as her own sister.

The relationship between the sisters-in-law had always been very good.

When Jiang Tao worked in Beijing, Jiang Bing would occasionally come back to the village and stay with Xu Li.

"My second sister-in-law is the best!"

Jiang Bing hugged Xu Li’s waist, acting like a child seeking affection from an adult.

"By the way, second brother and second sister-in-law, guess how many of our Flying Pigs we sold in total?"

As soon as she mentioned the Flying Pig popcorn buckets, Jiang Bing became instantly excited.

Jiang Tao jokingly threatened with a smile, "Stop keeping us in suspense and spill it, or I’ll dock your share by ten percent."

"218! By the time I went to bed last night, we had sold a total of 218!"

"The total sales amount has exceeded 43,000!"

"I estimate that from last night to this morning, we should have sold another few dozen more!"

"Our Flying Pig is really taking off, second brother!"

"Did we sell that many!"

Upon hearing Jiang Bing’s report on the sales, Xu Li’s charming face showed an adorably surprised expression.

"Yeah, yeah! Second sister-in-law, speaking of which, I must praise my second brother’s foresight again."

"Now even the manufacturers of this product have no stock. They’ve started offering pre-orders, and it’ll take one or two months before shipping."

"The over 10,000 pieces we have on hand right now are extremely sought after!"

Although Jiang Bing often bickered with her second brother, on serious matters, she really admired him.

Who could have thought that such an ordinary popcorn bucket could bring such extraordinary wealth, with everyone online clamoring for it.

When a product is in short supply, a price increase is a natural market phenomenon.

However, the rapid price rise of the Flying Pig popcorn bucket is still quite rare.

The root cause lies in capitalizing on the success of the movie "Nezha 2."

The box office for "Nezha 2" soared dramatically, achieving unprecedented popularity and boosting the sales of various movie tie-in products.

Witnessing the birth of several box office records, Jiang Tao also reaped the benefits of the movie IP this time.

Besides being a witness, he personally participated, becoming a small part of it.

Of course, what he earned is just a tiny fraction compared to the tens of billions, or potentially even over a hundred billion, in box office capacity of "Nezha 2."

Ring ring ring——

The phone rang, and when Jiang Tao saw that it was a call from the police, he quietly retreated to the storage room to answer it.

"Yes, yes, it’s me, okay, hmm..."

On the phone, the police informed Jiang Tao that the arrest work had been completed and that the information he provided was of significant value.

The police would proceed with the necessary formalities, and he could use the exclusive number he received for reporting to claim his reward.

Jiang Tao patiently listened until the end of the call before hanging up.

In the morning, Jiang Bing began working, calling the express delivery service to start shipping from home.

Xu Li was also energetically helping on the side.

With nothing much to do, Jiang Tao took Jiang Xue leisurely to his elder brother’s house.

"Second Uncle, you’re here! Little Xue, want some candy? Let me get you some!"

The little nephew, Jiang Shaojie, saw Jiang Tao coming with Jiang Xue and hurried back inside.

The boy brought out the whole plastic bag of candy, letting Jiang Xue pick whatever she wanted.

Jiang Xue was the only little girl in the Jiang Family, and she was absolutely the family darling.

"Where is everyone? Is it just you at home?"

Jiang Tao asked his little nephew, looking around the slightly desolate courtyard of his elder brother’s house.

"My dad just got off the night shift at around seven in the morning; he’s sleeping in the room now."

"My mom went to the town to sell fried skewers."

"My brother probably went to the county to have fun again."

Jiang Shaojie whispered to Jiang Tao, coming close and speaking sneakily:

"Second Uncle, I’ll tell you a little secret. My brother has a girlfriend; he’s in a romantic relationship early!"

"He’s been going to the county every day these past two days to see his girlfriend."

Jiang Tao looked at his sneaky little nephew and laughed, "And you, haven’t started dating anyone at school?"

"Girls will only slow down my sword drawing speed. Love is not for me! Playing Genshin Impact is way more fun!"

Jiang Shaojie waved a battle-damaged phone, looking as if he had clarity about life.

"You kid, it’s not that you can’t play games, but play less and don’t let it affect your studies."

"You take your sister out to play for a while; I’m going inside to check on your dad."

Jiang Tao entrusted Jiang Xue to his little nephew and walked up the steps into the house.

He made his way past the messy living room, where nearly every footstep was a challenge.

Jiang Tao gently knocked on the door of the east room but received no response, so he just pushed the door open.

The bedroom was also in disarray, with clothes and shoes piled messily.

On the disheveled bed laid a man with tousled hair, snoring away soundly.

This man was Jiang Tao’s elder brother, Jiang He.

When he was young, his elder brother was a nonconformist with frizzy hair and bell-bottom pants, smoking, drinking, perming his hair, and skipping classes to go to internet cafes.

He graduated from middle school and went straight into working at a factory. He got married in his early twenties and soon became a father.

As the family grew, the responsibilities on this family pillar increased, getting heavier and heavier.

Unfortunately, lacking education, qualifications, insight, and the ability to run his own business, he struggled.
