The first installment,

…

While the Tao couple was fussing about in their home, Qin Fang was naturally at his own house.

Although it was Tang Feifei and the other two women's first time visiting, Qin Qing didn't treat them like outsiders at all. Within the short time that Qin Fang and Tao Renjun were talking outside, the women had already become very familiar with each other.

Qin Qing even took out Qin Fang's photo albums to show Tang Feifei and the others. These photos recorded nearly all of Qin Fang's life experiences from the age of five until he left for school in his teens.

Many of the photos had already yellowed, being over a decade old, but these were all precious memories. Holding the photo albums, Tang Feifei and the other women looked through the photos one by one while Qin Qing commented on the side, sometimes sharing stories behind certain photos... causing bursts of laughter among the women.

Qin Fang was sorting out the gifts he had brought back, most of which were for Qin Qing. The rest, items like cigarettes and alcohol, were for the neighboring neighbors.

The Qin family had moved here from another place and had almost no relatives in the area. Qin Qing never mentioned these relatives to Qin Fang, and of course Qin Fang wouldn't talk about them with Tang Feifei and the others either. But some neighbors around the Qin Family were quite kind to them. Now that Qin Fang was returning home in glory, it was only natural to give some gifts away.

However, many of the gifts he brought back were quite valuable. For example, the cigarettes were mostly premium brands like Da Zhong Hua, and some even more expensive ones... As for alcohol, it was either Moutai or Wuliangye. Qin Fang figured those three beauties wouldn't know which alcohol was appropriate, so he just bought the most expensive ones...

After a rough estimate, the gifts that Qin Fang brought back in his trunk, if converted to cash, would certainly amount to over a hundred thousand...

With Qin Fang's current net worth, he naturally wouldn't care about this amount of money. However, he estimated that the rumor "of Qin Fang being kept by a wealthy woman" might just become seemingly true.

"Forget it, who cares what others say..."

Qin Fang wasn't the sort of person who couldn't let go. When he and his mother first came here, they had already endured all kinds of gossip. His tolerance was much stronger than the average person. Besides, the gossiping women in the village were just talking; they couldn't really stir up any trouble.

While organizing, Qin Fang was contemplating which households to send these things to. Although they were all neighbors, there were differences in closeness.

Take Tao Renjun, for instance. Starting with Old Tao, his father, to the couple Tao Renjun and Wang Chunlian, they had always looked after the Qin Family. When Qin Fang was studying away or Qin Qing was working at the factory, Wang Chunlian would take care of everything at the Qin home, including the dozen or so chickens that Qin Qing raised in her spare time...

Of course, when Qin Fang was younger, it was Old Tao who used to take him to school on his tricycle every morning and pick him up on the way back in the evening...

This kindness was something the Qin Family had never forgotten. In fact, the Tao Family never expected anything in return. It was only now that Tao Renjun saw Qin Fang had "changed his old shotgun for a cannon" and considering his own tight finances, did he think to ask Qin Fang for some help...

So, without hesitation, Qin Fang helped Tao Renjun secure a job. While it couldn't completely repay the decade of care, it did ease his conscience a bit.

Amidst all this, Tao Renjun had already hurried over to the Qin home with Wang Chunlian. The two families lived close by, just a few steps away from each other.

"Tsk tsk, this car is really beautiful... Must be worth two or three hundred thousand..."

As they reached the Qin family's doorstep, Wang Chunlian's gaze stayed on Qin Fang's Audi. Its appearance was quite imposing, clearly valuable, and she whispered to her husband.

"You don't know squat! What car is this? Recognize these four rings? Audi... two or three hundred thousand my foot, probably at least a million..."

Tao Renjun wasn't much better informed than his wife, but having worked away from home, he had seen a few luxury cars, especially the Audi with its four rings. As for the price, he wasn't sure, but from its looks, he felt it was expensive and immediately guessed a price he thought plausible.

"What? Over a million... Isn't that one worth about as much as our Boss Chen's several Buicks?"

Wang Chunlian couldn't help but be astounded, "Looks like little Fang really struck it rich, driving such an expensive car..."

"Cut the chatter, let's go in..."

Tao Renjun nodded right away, feeling somewhat relieved that the Tao Family had always taken good care of the Qin Family. At first, it was out of pity for the widow and orphan. Now he thought that his old man was very foresighted.

Although everyone in the village said Qin Fang would surely go far after getting into Ninghai University, in reality, things stayed the same: those who were close remained close, and the rest stayed the same. No one really expected Qin Fang's success to help them in any way.

"Aunt Qin, you have guests... Thinking you might be too busy, I've come to help with the cooking... My dad caught a few fish earlier, so I brought them over for you, adding another dish to the meal..."

Wang Chunlian got along very well with Qin Qing. She came over without any formality, hands carrying several fresh fish. She had specifically asked for them from Old Tao earlier. Since Qin Fang had done them such a big favor, she felt embarrassed to come empty-handed...
