I am financially free

Chapter 23, Family Banquet

"Uncle, you eat fruit."

Looking at the little boy standing in front of him, this is Jiang Chen's nephew. He has short hair, a handsome face with big round and bright eyes, a little baby fat, and looks very much like his cousin Shen Ning. My name is Wang Yang.

Because my cousin and brother-in-law only had one child, they were constantly nagged by their elders, saying that they did not abide by the country's two- and three-child policy and that they would have too much pressure on the child when they got older.

In fact, the family conditions of both of them are very good. It stands to reason that there will be no pressure on the two of them, but they don't know why they are so determined not to have a second child.

Looking at his well-behaved nephew in front of him, Jiang Chen took the fruit plate in his hand and put it aside. He couldn't help but pick him up and put him on his lap.

"Yangyang, do you miss me? We haven't seen you for more than half a year, and the little one has grown a lot."

"Yeah, I've thought about it." Yangyang nodded. It seemed that he was a little unfamiliar because he hadn't seen Jiang Chen for a long time.

"I'm in third grade now. How are my academic performance?"

"..." Yangyang looked at him with a helpless expression, blinking his eyes, as if to say: Uncle, I brought you something to eat, and you still ask these questions, are you polite?
"Huh, results? He's probably too embarrassed to tell you."

Without waiting for Yangyang's reply, her cousin took up the topic and sneered. It looked like the little guy's achievements were really hard to describe.

Yangyang stood up and got off Jiang Chen's lap, and then ran to his aunt. After finding the amulet, he felt confident and made faces at his cousin for a while.

Angrily, Shen Ning looked around for something suitable, apparently wanting to teach the little guy a lesson. Before he could take action, he flinched under the eyes of his aunt, and could only glare at the little guy fiercely.

In the county, my eldest uncle could be considered a moderate figure. He arranged lunch at a newly opened hotel nearby. It had an antique decoration style and seemed to be of high quality.

At the dinner table, uncle Shen Qing asked out of the blue: "Jiang Chen, how is your work lately? Have you become friends?"

Jiang Chen nodded: "Uncle, I met a child some time ago. He is the child of my mother's colleague. He is quite nice and he is getting along well."

After hearing this, my eldest uncle sighed with emotion: "That's good. Don't let your mother worry about it. I didn't expect that time flies by so fast. I see that the youngest one in your generation has already reached the age of marriageable age."

"Okay." Jiang Chen paused, looked at several elders and continued: "I have stabilized over there in Linhai. Don't worry, I have a good job and I'm not too busy."

Uncle Shen Qing nodded, still very satisfied with Jiang Chen's situation. This nephew has made people worry-free since he was a child.

Jiang Chen knows how to work hard. Among his brothers and sisters, he is the only one who was admitted to a double first-class key university. After graduation, his family did not worry much about his work.

Because of his position, my eldest uncle often does things for these relatives, which gives him the highest status and prestige in the family.The brothers and sisters of Jiang Chen's generation were all a little afraid of him.

Shen Ning looked at the cousin in front of him and recalled that he was still a child in the eyes of his brothers and sisters.

Looking at Jiang Chen in front of him again, the confidence exuding from the inside out seemed to be something he was born with, and suddenly he felt a little strange.

But in just a few months, he had undergone earth-shaking changes, which made this strange feeling become very strong.

I couldn't help but think of the car he drove when he came and the gifts he gave everyone, and I couldn't help but sigh that my cousin was indeed a little different from before.

At this moment, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps outside the door, followed by a burst of noise, and the sound was somewhat familiar.

The uncle said: "You three, go out and see what's going on." Three young men, Jiang Chen, Jiang Hao and Wang Xiaobing, got up and left the box. They saw a man and a woman surrounded by several people in the corridor outside the door. , the woman was pushed away by the man and blocked behind her.

"Wu Dajun, let me tell you, there is surveillance in the store. If you dare to mess around, I will call the police!" The man said obviously panicked.

"Fuck, Yu Ruihua, it's really not easy for him to find you so quickly. I still want to call the police. It's only natural to pay back debts. Why do you still want to default on the debt? Even if the king of heaven comes today, you can't leave. Why? Money." said the leader, a strong man with tattoos.

Being stared at fiercely by several people, Yu Ruihua felt a little scared, and said in a trembling voice: "I...I have no money now! If you give me some slack, I will find a way to give it to you."

The tattooed man pointed at Yu Ruihua's forehead and shouted: "No money? Why the hell are you here so early? How many times have I looked for you? If I ask you one last time, why don't you pay me back? If you don't pay me back, I will go to your workplace to make trouble. , let everyone in your unit know."

"Snapped."

The boy behind the tattooed man came up and slapped Yu Ruihua.

Yu Ruihua covered his face and lowered his head but couldn't say a word.Because he knew that if they were allowed to make trouble in his own unit, he would definitely not be able to continue his job.

"What's going on with Zhou Li? Damn Wu Dajun, please speak to me!"

Jiang Chen and the others saw the scene in front of them when they got out of the box. A man and a woman were their aunt's cousin Zhou Li and her brother-in-law Yu Ruihua. In addition to the debt collectors, there were also people standing around from other boxes. People who came out to watch the fun.

The few people turned around when they heard the sound, and found Jiang Hao and three people walking over. Because they were both hanging out on the streets in the county, Jiang Hao had met the leader Wu Dajun, and they all knew each other.

Wu Dajun is in his 30s, one of the early gangsters in the county, and a well-known rogue.Now I am working for a financial guarantee company owned by a relatively powerful boss, specializing in debt collection.

"Jiang Hao, it's none of your business. Don't interfere with me." Wu Dajun was a little unhappy when he saw Jiang Hao stop him. They had only met each other in the past, and they had always been in harmony with each other.

"It's none of my business? These are my sister and brother-in-law. Do you think it's none of my business?"

Wu Dajun and his group do everything secretly and abducted. They are frequent visitors in the detention center. It can be said that they have done all kinds of bad things and have no bottom line in life.

The group with Jiang Hao and others are all young people, most of them have pretty good family conditions, and they don't do anything illegal or criminal. They just think it's more fun to play together, and their relationship is relatively loose.

Originally, the two groups of people disliked each other, but rarely interacted with each other. However, the small county was only so big after all, and it was difficult not to have some disputes. There were several battles in the middle. If Jiang Hao and the others hadn't been so large, they wouldn't have been able to do it. Fortunately, they were the ones who suffered at the time.

My brother has a good buddy named Sun Wei. The two of them often hang out together. Jiang Chen is deeply impressed by him and calls him 'Viagra' when they meet.

About four years ago, Sun Wei's father took the bus back to his hometown to do errands. Because he needed money, he went to the bank to withdraw some and put it in the inner pocket of his coat.

But he didn't expect that he would be targeted by a group of thieves as soon as he came out of the bank. They followed him on the bus and sat next to him.

The thief made a mistake when committing the crime. The noise was too loud and Wei Wei's father noticed it, so he caught the thief and called the police while not letting go.

In desperation, the thief took out a dagger and slashed Viagra's father's face. After seeing blood, he calmed down the indignant people in the car.

The thief beat Viagra's father on the spot and walked away arrogantly.
