76: Returning home in wealth and honor is like wearing fine clothes at night.

After Qin Yang left the bath center, he returned home.

Life at home was pleasant. Every day, his mother cooked various delicious meals for him and Deng Yue. Just like that, the two of them spent a couple of days living like royalty at home.

Early on the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the family packed some things and prepared to go to his grandmother's house in the countryside for the holiday.

The village where his grandmother lived was called Meng Family Village, named so because most people in the village had the surname Meng.

It was about a two-hour drive from Mo County to Meng Family Village.

On the way, Qin Yang whispered to Qin Yue, who was sitting beside him, "How is that classmate of yours doing?"

"Brother, you're really amazing. Since that day, no one has troubled Xu Lei again. Also, I've noticed over the past two days that the thugs around our school are gone. After school, those bad students in the classes don't fight anymore. The whole school's atmosphere seems to have improved over these two days." Qin Yue looked at Qin Yang with admiration, her eyes almost sparkling. In her eyes, all the credit went to her big brother. It must have been because he taught those bad guys a lesson that day, leading to this result.

Seeing his sister's admiring gaze, Qin Yang felt a bit proud. "That's good. If anything like that happens again, just tell me. I'll take care of it for you."

"Thanks, big brother!" Qin Yue replied sweetly.

"What are you two siblings whispering about?" Deng Yue, who was sitting on Qin Yang's other side, asked.

"Hehe, sister-in-law, it's a secret between me and my brother," Qin Yue replied playfully.

Qin Yang shook his head with a smile and explained, "I just solved a little trouble for this girl. It's no big deal."

Deng Yue nodded and didn't ask further.

Around nine in the morning, Qin Yang's motorcade arrived at Meng Family Village.

It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, a day for reunions. Even those working away from home would mostly choose to return on this holiday to reunite with their families.

Meng Family Village was the same. The usually quiet village became lively during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

As the motorcade entered the village entrance, Qin Yang and the others saw a group of people—men, women, young, and old—chatting. The appearance of the motorcade drew everyone's attention.

"Holy crap! A maybach! Who's coming to our village?"

"Is it Meng Tong and her husband back? I remember Meng Tong's husband's family is quite wealthy. When she got married, the lead car was her husband's family's Rolls-Royce, right?"

"Probably not. I asked Meng San a few days ago, and he said his daughter, Xiao Tong, wasn't coming back for Mid-Autumn this year."

"Then who else in our village besides Meng Tong can afford to ride in a maybach!"

"Wait a minute. Are these cars very expensive?"

"Third Uncle, see that lead car? That's a maybach. It's worth several million!"

"Ah? That expensive?"

Since they couldn't see who was inside, the crowd at the village entrance discussed curiously until the maybach stopped in front of them. Mother Qin was the first to step out from the passenger seat, which cleared up everyone's confusion.

"But wait!"

"Why was Mother Qin getting out of a maybach?"

"Second Aunt!"

"Second Sister!"

"Rong'zi?!"

Seeing Mother Qin get out of the car, a chorus of surprised exclamations rang out at the village entrance.

"It's me, Third Uncle. Xiao Li and Gang'zi are both back for the holiday, haha." Having experienced this before, Mother Qin was very excited inside but appeared extremely calm on the surface, responding with a smile.

"Second Sister, what's with this motorcade?" Someone asked immediately, unable to wait for an answer.

"Oh, you mean the motorcade? It's Xiao Yang's. He came back a couple of days ago, and he brought the whole motorcade with him," Mother Qin replied with some pride.

"Qin Yang? Didn't Qin Yang just graduate? Second Sister, has your Xiao Yang made it big?" someone asked in disbelief upon hearing Mother Qin say the motorcade belonged to him.

"Yes, he just graduated not long ago. But Xiao Yang had good luck and met a benefactor. He's in business with someone now, and it's doing quite well. You could say he's made a bit of money," Mother Qin replied, still calm.

However, seeing the shocked expressions on her sisters and brothers of the same age, Mother Qin felt a surge of satisfaction. At their age, what else was there to compare besides their children? Previously, the Qin family's situation was average, and these people would constantly show off in the family group chat—how this child found a job at a foreign company with a high salary, or how that child bought a house in a first-tier city. Although they didn't have bad intentions and just wanted to be envied, constantly posting such things was indeed embarrassing for those with average conditions and ordinary children.

But the tables had turned. Today, Mother Qin had finally regained the face she had lost. Otherwise, she wouldn't have had the driver specifically stop the car in front of everyone.

As the saying goes, returning home in wealth is like wearing silk at night. Seeing his mother's excited look this morning, Qin Yang understood her thoughts. So, no matter what Mother Qin did today, Qin Yang was fully cooperative.

Mother Qin's name was Meng Rong, and she was the second oldest in her generation. That was why others called her Second Aunt or Second Sister.

While Mother Qin was talking to the relatives, Qin Yang also got out of the car and handed out high-quality cigarettes to the smokers present.

"Whoa! Harmonization! Xiao Yang really has made it big." Someone who knew their stuff recognized the value of the cigarettes at a glance.

Hearing this, Qin Yang smiled modestly. "It's not exactly making it big. I just made some money, enough to improve my family's living conditions."

"Hehe, you're already driving a maybach. Don't be so modest, Xiao Yang. In the future, look after your Distant Maternal Aunt's family. I've watched you grow up since you were little," a woman chimed in.

Qin Yang looked at her and gave a perfunctory smile. "Hehe, if there's an opportunity, I definitely will."

The woman calling herself Qin Yang's Distant Maternal Aunt wasn't his biological aunt, but a distant relative of the same generation as Mother Qin. They weren't very close, and Qin Yang hadn't expected her to be so thick-skinned as to make a request immediately.

After Mother Qin chatted with everyone at the village entrance for a while, they got back into the cars and drove toward his grandmother's house.

Of course, Meng Family Village wasn't large. With the children at the village entrance spreading the word, the entire village soon knew that the Qin family had returned in a luxury motorcade. Even his grandmother's house had been notified.

Thus, as the motorcade stopped in front of the house, a group of people came out of the courtyard. Qin Yang glanced over and saw they were all close relatives, like his Eldest Uncle, Maternal Uncle, Eldest Aunt, and so on.

Qin Yang's Maternal Uncle was a lively character. Before Qin Yang and the others could even get out, he started circling the motorcade, occasionally exclaiming, "It really is a maybach! And a Lexus 570 behind it. They're all luxury cars! I thought the kid who brought the news was pulling our leg!"

By the time Maternal Uncle finished his exclamations, Mother Qin and the others had already stepped out of the cars.

"Rong'zi!"

"Second Sister! Xiao Yang, Xiao Yue!"

Seeing the main party arrive, everyone crowded around with a mixture of surprise and joy.

This scene suddenly made Mother Qin's heart feel a bit sour. Although her family hadn't treated her poorly in the past, this was the first time she had been welcomed like a star surrounded by the moon.
