Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City-Chapter 572 582 Completely Different

The toad in the well, Ye Ling dealt a devastating blow to the gloomy-faced guy with a single sentence.

"Hey, Ye Ling, what's with the way you talk? Haven't your mother taught you any manners in the past decade or so outside?"

"You're talking about your brother-in-law here. How come you're cursing in such a roundabout way? I think in Donghai City, you must be barely getting by with deceiving and scamming for money, right?"

"Maybe, if you trick a couple of clueless tycoons, you might make some big bucks. Otherwise, how could you afford such an expensive car?"

Upon hearing Ye Ling insult her son-in-law, Li Jinfeng immediately felt unwilling, listening to the biting remarks that made Wang Shufen grit her teeth, almost wanting to retort.

But Ye Ling just smiled nonchalantly, "Yes, yes, son-in-laws are so dear. Tianshan snow lotus, cordyceps—these are treasures our family has never even laid eyes on."

"What's a nephew anyway? Disappeared for more than a decade without so much as a greeting. I haven't eaten or drunk from your household, tsk, and yet I become the target of an attack. It's quite peculiar indeed."

Having said that, Ye Ling shrugged his shoulders, stood up, and walked straight out. Li Jinfeng was momentarily stunned and then slammed the table in anger, "What kind of manners! Shufen, look at the kind of manners your son has!"

Li Chong also chimed in sarcastically, "Huh, he's been away for over a decade without returning, and the moment he does, he comes to our house. It must be because he knows we are doing quite well now and has come to borrow money."

"Money? Forget it, forget it. Lend them tens of thousands. They're family after all; we should help if we can."

All the sons-in-law and daughters at the table joined in the criticism, and Wang Shufen's face darkened like gloomy water, holding back from speaking out as, after all, she was sitting in front of her elder brother and sister-in-law.

Plus, people like Li Chong were from the younger generations. If she were to start a fight with them, it would be too embarrassing.

With a slap, Ye Jianjun's palm hit the table, his eyes flashing a hint of darkness, "Shut up, all of you! We are all family here; what's this ruckus about!"

Creak—the entire room fell silent, and at that moment, Ye Ling walked in, carrying a box of liquor.

"This liquor, I present to you as a token of filial respect since you are my elder uncle, and each of the uncles has a share too. As for you and your big family, continue your feast. We'll be leaving now. The threshold of your home is too high for us to settle down comfortably."

With that, Ye Ling patted Wang Shufen's shoulder, and the two of them got up and walked out, drove away in their car.

Gone, just like that; Ye Jianjun scanned the room, "This is all your doing!"

The others sneered dismissively. What was wrong with berating a relative they hadn't seen for years? Besides, it was their fault anyway, for seeking to climb the social ladder.

By this time, some still believed that Ye Ling and others were relatives who had come to borrow money. It's despicable, really, this mentality of the commoners.

Ye Chong looked at the box of liquor on the ground, opened it, and was taken aback. He took out a bottle and burst into laughter, "Wow, a bottle of liquor in a transparent bottle—this stuff must cost five yuan a bottle, and they have the nerve to bring it out. How embarrassing."

"And the name is so imposing, 'Wu Long Drunk'? Whether the 'Sleeping Dragon' gets drunk, I don't know, but I'm sure this liquor would definitely make a pig drunk, haha!"

Before Ye Chong could finish, two of the brothers-in-law snatched the bottle from his hand, their eyes filled with disbelief. They quickly opened the cap and took a swig.

"It's real! It's the real 'Wu Long Drunk'!"

One son-in-law said excitedly, Ye Chong was puzzled, "Brother-in-law, what's with you? Is there something special about this liquor?"

"Wu Long Drunk, huh? The black market has already driven the price up to thirty thousand a bottle, and even then, it's hard to come by," said the brother-in-law holding the bottle, trembling. Ye Jianjun was stunned, glanced at the six bottles of Wu Long Drunk on the ground, and thought, if what his son-in-law was saying was true, then that case would be worth nearly two hundred thousand.

With that thought, Ye Jianjun looked back at Ye Ling and Wang Shufen leaving and suddenly felt bewildered. Could it be that his nephew had genuinely come into his own?

It was an ordinary courtyard with an ordinary bungalow. There were chickens and ducks raised in the yard, and some fruit trees planted; it indeed had a different kind of scenery.

In the simple courtyard, a table was set with several plates of freshly stir-fried dishes, including tomato with scrambled eggs and stir-fried pork with hot peppers.

A middle-aged man with stubble on his face looked apologetically at Wang Shufen and Ye Ling: "Sister-in-law, where have you been this year? I've looked for you for a year, but unfortunately, I couldn't find a way to contact you."

This man was Ye Ling's Great-Uncle, who had been the kindest to them mother and son. Every year he would send rice and flour to Lanshan Village. When it came to holidays, he would even send some money to help out Ye Ling and his mother.

Now, seeing Ye Ling and his mother arrive, he hurriedly asked his wife to prepare a few dishes, overjoyed.

Wang Shufen looked full of regret: "Great Brother, this kid started a small business outside, and I went to take care of his big family."

"A big family? Has Little Ling gotten married? How come you never mentioned it?" Ye Ling's Great-Uncle quickly asked with concern.

Ye Ling waved his hands: "Great-Uncle, what I had doesn't really count as marriage. It was a bit different in nature, and besides, I tried calling you before, but the phone wouldn't connect."

Ye Ling's Great-Uncle slapped his forehead in realization: "Look at me; I remember now. A while back, I went out to work and everything changed, including the phone number for me and your Great Aunt."

"Look at me, look at me, such a big event for my nephew, and I wasn't even here for it. Really."

As he spoke, he stood up and went into the house. Meanwhile, Ye Ling's Great Aunt came over with a plate of stir-fried meat, wiping the sweat from her forehead after she set it down.

"Little Ling, stay a few more days this time you're back. Whatever you need, just tell your Great Aunt," she said.

Ye Ling took a deep breath and nodded. These were his relatives, unlike the folks at his eldest uncle's place who were all talk. If it wasn't for the sake of them being family, Ye Ling would have flipped the table and left long ago.

A minute later, Ye Ling's Great-Uncle took out some money and stuffed it into Wang Shufen's hand: "Younger Sister-in-law, don't think this money is too little. Here's a thousand yuan, buy something nice for your daughter-in-law."

Ye Ling's Great-Uncle rubbed his calloused palms together, giving a silly smile. Ye Ling, watching from the side, felt incredibly moved.

Wang Shufen was just about to refuse when Ye Ling patted her hand, signaling her to accept it. To refuse would hurt his kind-hearted Great-Uncle's feelings.

"By the way, Great-Uncle, after we eat, I'd like to go to the ancestral hall to pay respects."

Ye Ling said with a gentle smile, and his Great-Uncle across nodded, "Okay, let's have our meal first, and then we can go over after."

"Alright, we'll eat first. Later on, I'll tidy up our little courtyard; tonight, mom and I will stay at home. It will be good to relive childhood memories," Ye Ling said, smiling. However, as soon as he said this, the faces of his Great-Uncle and Great Aunt changed dramatically.
