Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Turning the Tables Against All Odds Feels So Good!

At noon, Jiang Tao brought Xu Li and Jiang Xue to have lunch with his parents.

Big brother Jiang He was still at work today and didn’t have time to come back.

Sister-in-law Zhang Xiaoyan was also selling fried skewers at the big market, too busy to come home for lunch.

There were a lot of people at the market today, and she could earn nearly 1000 yuan in a day, so naturally she couldn’t give up this income.

The two nephews from big brother’s family, after the holiday, were also playing wildly with a group of classmates every day, not staying at home, and no one could control them.

Only second uncle Jiang Tao could handle them, a phone call and they would come home.

"Second uncle, did you buy that Benz on loan or in full? That car is so cool!"

Nephew Jiang Shijie looked at Jiang Tao with a face full of admiration.

He only learned today that his second uncle actually drove a Mercedes back.

But when he ran to Jiang Tao’s house to see it, his little aunt Jiang Bing had already taken it out for a spin.

"Second uncle, did you strike it rich?"

The second nephew Jiang Shaojie was also full of admiration.

Having a second uncle who drove a Benz gave him a lot of face too!

Even the group of buddies he hung out with held him in higher regard!

"What do you two kids know, stop talking about these nonsense things, are these things you should be concerned about?"

"Have you finished your winter vacation homework? How much did you score on your finals? What rank?"

"..."

"..."

The two brothers were suddenly thrown into a state of depression by Jiang Tao’s soul-searching questions.

Each of them bowed their head and ate in silence.

Although Jiang Tao, as their second uncle, was usually a bit strict, he always treated his two nephews well.

After the meal, he gave each of them 200 yuan as pocket money and let them loose again.

Jiang Tao knew that these two nephews were not scholarly types.

Even if he kept them home, their minds would be elsewhere.

When it was time to study, they couldn’t focus, let alone during playtime.

During the New Year, happiness was what mattered most.

...

After lunch, Xu Li attentively washed the pots and dishes with her mom, Tian Xiaomei.

Jiang Bing, on the other hand, noisily took Jiang Xue out for a drive again.

This time, Jiang Bing also brought along their dad, Jiang Wen, letting him experience sitting in a Mercedes.

Old Jiang, at nearly sixty years old, was sitting in a Mercedes for the first time.

Sitting stably in the back seat, he appeared expressionless, but inside, oh, he was excited.

Our old Jiang can now say he’s sat in a Mercedes, impressive!

Jiang Wen swallowed, trying to sound calm as he asked:

"Third child, how much did your second brother’s car cost?"

"Over 1 million to land! At least."

Jiang Bing proudly said while driving.

"Over 1 million!"

Jiang Wen was both shocked and thrilled to hear it.

If that’s the case, his second son, in terms of cars, has overtaken Jiang Tianming!

This really boosts the family’s esteem!

Your second son drives a BMW worth a little over 300,000 yuan, mine drives a Mercedes over 1 million!

One of mine equals three of yours!

Jiang Bing laughed while driving, teasingly said: "Dad, why are you asking, are you planning to show off to Uncle Tianming next door?"

"What nonsense are you talking! Do you think your dad is that shallow!"

Old Jiang said he wasn’t shallow, but his mind was already figuring out how to steer the conversation to cars when he visited Jiang Tianming’s place later.

Should he directly ask if he’d ever sat in a Mercedes, or just talk about his own experience?

...

At home, after washing up, Xu Li and her mom, along with Jiang Tao’s wife, all went back to their place.

Being briefly apart felt like a new honeymoon, and during the afternoon break, the couple even managed to squeeze in a match of friendly banter.

At 5 p.m., Jiang Bing finished the joy ride and came back with Dad and Jiang Xue.

Jiang Xue was holding some fried skewers, clutching a stuffed toy bigger than herself, with rabbit ears on her head.

She didn’t come back empty-handed this time, quite a fruitful outing.

By 5:30, Jiang Tao drove Xu Li and Jiang Xue towards Ping County’s town.

In less than 10 minutes, the Mercedes GLS entered West City Mansion, the county’s most expensive neighborhood acknowledged by everyone.

Xu Li’s family also benefited from buying a house early; more than ten years ago, they bought a 120-plus square meter three-bedroom in West City Mansion.

Back when they bought it, it was just over 3,000 yuan per square meter, and now it’s risen to over 9,000, nearing 10,000!

It’s hard to imagine, in a small county without abundant resources or good job opportunities, the house prices could rise to such levels.

In the community, downstairs of the 22nd floor.

Xu Wencheng was holding a waxing sponge to wax his beloved car.

He cherished his car very much.

Although this Passat had been driven for seven or eight years, once waxed, it looked as shiny as new.

"Old Xu, it’s about time you replaced this Passat."

"Now even those major international brands like Mercedes and BMW are starting price wars, and prices have come down."

"The BMW X3 my daughter bought only cost a little over 400,000 yuan, which is tens of thousands cheaper than before."

"When we were young, there was no such opportunity!"

"Back then, the wages were low and cars were expensive, who would have dared to imagine owning a BMW one day!"

Next to Xu Wencheng, a man waxing his daughter’s beloved car was enthusiastically recommending BMWs to Old Xu.

The man’s name was Gao Daqiang; he lived upstairs from Xu Wencheng’s house.

Car owners are like this, they always feel the brand they bought is the best and are more willing to recommend it to friends and family.

Old Xu remained silent, just quietly waxing his car, thinking to himself, your daughter’s car isn’t even yours, so what’s there to boast about.

Seeing that Xu Wencheng wasn’t biting on the car-buying topic, Gao Daqiang switched tactics:

"By the way, Old Xu, what kind of liquor did your elder daughter give you this year?"

"My daughter gave me a box of Moutai this year. I told her not to waste money, but she just wouldn’t listen. How infuriating is that!"

"Very infuriating indeed."

Old Xu nodded, but the infuriating part he was referring to was about Gao’s daughter, not Gao himself.

Your daughter just married some rich second-generation with a bit of money, and that’s made you all cocky!

Our eldest might not measure up and didn’t marry as well, but our second daughter hasn’t even made her move yet.

That little one is sharp as a tack, only strikes when she sees the advantage, she might not marry worse than your daughter.

Beep beep!

Just as Old Xu finished his thought, a pitch-black Mercedes GLS pulled up in front of him.

The passenger door opened, and out came a woman with long legs and exquisite features.

"Dad! You’re out here tinkering with your car in this cold weather again."

After Xu Li got out of the car and cheerfully greeted her dad, she opened the back door to take her daughter Jiang Xue out of the car.

"Grandpa! My dad bought a new car, you should come and sit in it, it’s so comfortable~ It’s even more comfortable than Grandpa’s car, you have to try it."

As soon as Jiang Xue got out, she eagerly took her grandpa’s hand, pulling him towards the car.

"Lili, did Jiang Tao buy this car?"

Xu Wencheng was both shocked and pleased, yet puzzled. When did his eldest son-in-law become so capable!

He had heard from his daughter’s mom about the 200,000 yuan his son-in-law transferred to her.

But 200,000 is only a fraction of the price of this car.

Xu Li noticed Uncle Gao standing beside the BMW car, utterly stunned.

She knew this Uncle Gao often liked to brag about his daughter and son-in-law in front of her dad.

Xu Li’s bright eyes glinted mischievously as she immediately began to help her dad regain face.

"My husband just got this car a few days ago. How does it look?"

"Fantastic, absolutely great, this car must be over a million!"

Xu Wencheng deliberately raised his voice about the million, pointing it out to Gao Daqiang.

Old Xu felt a rush of emotion, his eldest daughter and son-in-law’s arrival today was perfectly timed!

The turnaround victory today was exhilarating!

Click~

The driver’s door opened, and Jiang Tao also got out, smiling as he greeted Xu Wencheng:

"Dad, Lili and I brought you some cigarettes and liquor."

His father-in-law wasn’t as materialistic as his mother-in-law or sister-in-law, so Jiang Tao had a good relationship with Xu Wencheng.

Every year, on the third day of the Lunar New Year, when they visited the family, Xu Wencheng would also bring out the Moutai he bought for Jiang Tao.

Just one bottle was just right for the two of them.

Of course, Xu Wencheng would buy no more than two loose bottles, he wasn’t extravagant enough to buy a whole case.

"Didn’t you send some just a few days ago?"

Xu Wencheng looked at Jiang Tao and Xu Li with some confusion, feeling a bit baffled.

"My husband said the cigarettes and liquor I bought were too cheap and didn’t count."

"He went and bought you a box of your favorite Moutai and two cartons of Zhonghua, isn’t your son-in-law thoughtful?"

Xu Li’s affection in her dad’s heart was naturally maxed out, no need to earn more.

So she gave all the credit to Jiang Tao, boosting his favor with her dad.

Without another word, Jiang Tao opened the trunk and took out a box of Moutai and two cartons of cigarettes.

Old Xu couldn’t be bothered with waxing anymore and immediately invited his daughter’s family of three upstairs.

Leaving only Gao Daqiang alone, stunned in the wind.

What’s the deal with Old Xu’s eldest son-in-law?

Wasn’t he just a delivery guy, how is he driving a Mercedes now!
