Chapter 798 Are you crazy? You're really willing to buy that much!
"Oh my, girls really do change a lot as they grow up. Last time she came back, she was still a little girl."
Shen Ci just smiled. To others, she seemed introverted, but in reality, she was distant.
The old lady immediately greeted her, "Second son's wife, you're back early, so hurry up and get things ready. Your eldest brother and sister-in-law can eat right away when they get home from get off work."
"I understand, Mom. I'll put down my things, wash my hands, and do it."
Zheng Hong was incredibly efficient. She looked at Shen Jingjing and Shen Yingying and said, "Eldest sister, second sister, please sit down first. Everything was prepared yesterday. If you want to eat anything during your stay, just tell me and I'll make it for you."
"Thank you for your hard work, Zheng Hong. Don't make it too complicated. We're all family."
"What's so tiring about it? It's nothing. It's rare for you two to come back."
After Zheng Hong finished speaking, she went straight into the house.
The two sisters exchanged a glance, their eyes conveying a mutual understanding.
The second son's wife is usually the easiest to talk to in the family, but this time when she came back, I could clearly feel a significant change in her attitude.
"I'm still getting used to it," Shen Yingying muttered.
I've never received this kind of treatment when I came back before.
This hasn't been revealed yet; the family only knows that Ali has become a star.
If they knew the rest, the changes would be immense; they might even be treated like royalty.
Shen Chengcheng followed his wife into the house, intending to give her a few words of advice. However, when he entered, he saw his wife sitting on the sofa in the main hall, her butt sticking out, seemingly looking at something.
"Why aren't you cooking? What are you looking at?"
Shen Chengcheng stepped forward, but Zheng Hong immediately stopped him from speaking. Zheng Hong told him to keep his voice down, then pulled him close and asked, "Did you see that?"
Shen Chengcheng looked at the sofa in confusion. On the sofa were the bags that her eldest sister, second sister, and Aci always carried. They were probably made of leather.
He didn't understand at all, and frowned as he asked, "What do you see? These are my older sister's bags, what's wrong?"
"Tsk." Zheng Hong glared at him speechlessly. "You really don't know anything. Do you even know what brand this bag is?"
Before Shen Chengcheng could speak, Zheng Hong hissed, "This is Hermes, the most luxurious brand. Do you know how much one of these bags costs?"
"How would I know? I don't buy bags." Shen Chengcheng said dismissively, "Besides, how expensive can a bag be? It's pure leather, how expensive can it be?"
Zheng Hong glanced outside, then quickly took out her phone to take pictures and searched online.
"A rare Hermès Birkin bag with a diamond buckle, priced at approximately 390 yuan."
Zheng Hong's eyes widened in surprise. She only recognized the brand, but had no knowledge of Hermès' specific grades and leather quality.
In her mind, Hermès bags were very expensive and required additional purchases, costing at least tens of yuan each.
But when I saw the actual price of this bag, I was completely dumbfounded.
Shen Chengcheng saw it too and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Huh? So expensive? Four hundred yuan for just this one bag?"
"What kind of leather is this made of? No leather could possibly cost this much! Are you crazy? You're really willing to spend that much?"
This one bag alone could buy several houses in Longyang Town!
"What did I tell you?" Zheng Hong calmed down and looked at Shen Chengcheng, reminding him, "I told you long ago that your older sister is definitely different now. Don't always think about taking advantage of yourself. Think more about Tao Tao. If you get along well with your older sister, won't she help you in the future?"
"Just the bag she's carrying is worth more than our whole family could earn in a lifetime!"
Shen Chengcheng was still in shock and couldn't come to her senses: "No, is this bag really that expensive?"
Zheng Hong rolled her eyes at him speechlessly, quickly changed her clothes, washed her hands, and went into the kitchen.
Around six o'clock, the eldest brother Shen Mingming and Wang Chunyan arrived home one after the other, and on the surface, they greeted each other warmly.
The children also came home from school. Of Shen Mingming's three sons, Xiao Bao was only six years old and attending kindergarten, while Da Bao and Er Bao were both in high school.
Shen Chengcheng's family has only one son, Shen Tao, who is currently in high school.
They're all grown men, taller than Chen Ci, and in their adolescence, so they can't help but take a second look at pretty older women.
There was no affection between the siblings. To them, Shen Ci was like a stranger, like suddenly seeing a beautiful woman on the street.
The house suddenly became noisy, and Zheng Hong managed to cook dinner all by herself.
The eldest son, Shen Mingming, sat at the head of the table with the old lady. Usually, Shen Chengcheng would sit next to the old lady, but today he instinctively went to sit there, only to be pulled up by Zheng Hong.
"You sit over there, let your older sister sit next to Mom."
Zheng Hong definitely couldn't manipulate her eldest brother, so she could only manipulate her husband and give the position to her eldest sister.
"Second sister, you sit next to eldest sister, and let Chengcheng sit with eldest brother and sister-in-law."
When Wang Chunyan saw her second daughter-in-law making such arrangements, she suddenly realized that this gesture of goodwill was too obvious, making her, as the eldest sister-in-law, seem tactless.
Wang Chunyan added, "Yes, Jingjing, you and Ying have finally come back, so spend more time talking to Mom and sit closer to her. The old lady's hearing isn't as good as it used to be, so you'll have to speak a little louder."
The two sisters were all taken care of, but Shen Ci, as the younger generation, was overlooked.
Shen Ci didn't care about that and sat down in the last seat, which was usually where the dishes were served, and was also where Xiao Min used to sit.
Zheng Hong cleverly arranged for her son Tao Tao to sit next to Shen Yingying: "Tao Tao, sit next to your aunts."
She then sat down next to Shen Ci.
This large family filled the table to the brim.
Shen Mingming sat upright in the seat of honor, adopting the posture of the eldest brother. Only after everyone was seated did he raise his glass and say, "It's rare for Jingjing and Ying to come back. Our family hasn't been so reunited in a long time. Come back often in the future, so that Mom won't keep nagging."
Shen Jingjing and Shen Yingying nodded with smiles as they held their glasses, and the family raised their glasses to drink the first cup.
After drinking some wine, Zheng Hong hurriedly urged everyone to start eating: "Big sister and second sister, haven't you had hometown food in a long time? My cooking skills are definitely not as good as yours, but I haven't held back any of my skills, so eat more!"
After saying that, Zheng Hong picked up her chopsticks and placed a chicken leg in Chen Ci's bowl beside her: "Come on, Aci, this is 'Lotus Leaf Chicken,' the most famous dish in Funan. You should try it."
Her movement drew the old lady's gaze to the chicken leg in Chen Ci's bowl.
In this family, there are four grandsons. The eldest and second grandsons like to eat chicken wings, while the youngest grandson and Tao Tao like to eat chicken drumsticks. So whenever chicken is cooked, the chicken wings and drumsticks are always divided like this.
Zheng Hong gave a chicken leg to Shen Ci, so one of Xiao Bao and Tao Tao wouldn't get a chicken leg.
No one else noticed these things, and they didn't necessarily care about them; it was just that these habits had gradually formed in the family.
But the old lady was different; she cared about the chicken leg, but even more so about her grandson.
"Xiaobao and Taotao love chicken drumsticks, so let them have them."
