After sending off the crowd of villagers, Yifan then asked An Qi and the others to get out of the car, then he and his parents, uncle, aunt, and the arriving third uncle and third aunt entered the house together.

The house in Yifan's family was very simple; it was a one-story red brick building, the surface had no tiles, and was in its most primitive state. The wooden anti-theft windows had no glass, only homemade curtains for covering; the main door was a wooden door that had been patched up after being damaged by termites, looking very decrepit.

Zhou Jiajia and An Qi had never seen such an ugly house before. In the past, they probably would not have entered these kinds of houses.

"Yifan, is this the house you grew up in?" An Qi asked curiously.

She really couldn't imagine how difficult Yifan's life had been before, as in her eyes, such a house was already very dilapidated.

"No, when I was a child, I lived in a tiled house, which was even more simple and rundown," Yifan replied.

Actually, he knew that Zhou Jiajia and An Qi, who had always lived in the big city, would be uncomfortable with this environment, since they had both grown up in mansions and lived the life of the wealthy.

"Ah? Is it really that awful?"

Upon knowing the answer, An Qi was shocked and had not expected such a result.

"Yes! Those of us without money to go to school could only do farm work in the countryside to support our family. An Qi, don't blame Yifan, blame us for not providing him with a better life," Yifan's mother took over the conversation and answered.

She felt that the second daughter-in-law seemed to start despising their family background, which made her somewhat unhappy. If An Qi were a proud and materialistic woman, she would not accept such a daughter-in-law.

An Qi felt that her attitude had affected Yifan's mother, so she immediately explained, "Auntie, I didn't mean that. I just felt sad for Yifan's difficult childhood."

"Mom! Don't overthink it. An Qi is not someone who values money highly; otherwise, she wouldn't have fallen for a poor guy like me," Yifan also came over to defend An Qi.

"Understood, understood, An Qi is our family's treasure. I believe she will love this family," Yifan's mother said with a smile, looking quite pleased.

Upon entering the house, the furnishings were a bit messy, but overall, it was okay. However, many items were very old, which was quite a surprise to An Qi and Zhou Jiajia.

Not to mention the tables and stools, they were at least over a decade old; the tea cups and tea pots also had some years on them; all the shoes were old rubber shoes, tattered and none of them were in good condition.

Looking at these scenes, Zhou Jiajia and An Qi could better appreciate the difficulties Yifan had faced.

Just as Zhou Jiajia and the others were thinking of sitting down to rest, Yifan's mother immediately spoke up to stop them, not allowing them to sit.

The four daughter-in-laws were dressed so beautifully, she was afraid they would dirty their skirts.

However, not knowing the reason, the four women curiously asked, "Auntie, why don't you let us sit?"

"The stools are too dirty, let me go get a towel to wipe them clean for you," Yifan's mother answered.

"Auntie, no need, it doesn't matter," Zhou Jiajia and the others said, finding it bothersome, trying to stop Yifan's mother.

"How can it not matter? You are all my beautiful daughters-in-law; you definitely shouldn't get dirty," Yifan's mother refused outright and then went to fetch a wet towel.

Zhou Jiajia and the others, seeing that their future mother-in-law was so stubborn about fetching the towel, had no choice but to let her go and get it.

Upon hearing that all four beautiful women were Yifan's wives, the unaware third uncle and third aunt were shocked; they had not expected such a result. They had thought that only Zhou Jiajia was Yifan's wife, not knowing that all four were.

"Yifan! You're really lucky to have so many beautiful wives," third uncle clicked his tongue in praise, feeling very envious.

He had originally planned to have Lin Yifan introduce someone for his son, but now that beautiful dream was dashed.

"Hehe, Uncle, you flatter me," Lin Yifan humbly responded, then briefly introduced his four girlfriends to Uncle and Aunt.

After getting acquainted, they wiped the stools clean and then sat down for a chat.

The conversation predominantly revolved around the changes in Lin Yifan's life. Learning that Lin Yifan had become a big boss, Uncle and Aunt were overjoyed and kept fawning and flattering him, trying to gain some favor.

Lin Yifan understood their approach, as they were terrified of poverty.

They talked for a while, and then Lin Yifan and his group got hungry; since his parents had been in the hospital for a few days, there were absolutely no vegetables at home.

At that point, Uncle and Aunt eagerly volunteered to go back and bring over the remaining food for Lin Yifan and his group to eat.

Looking at the dishes on the table, Zhou Jiajia and the others were unsure of how to begin.

There were only three dishes on the table.

One was a vegetable dish, coarse and lacking oil, hard to swallow. Another was twice-cooked pork, thick and fatty, which looked greasy. The last dish was cucumber stir-fried with eggs, but now there were no eggs left, only a few pieces of cucumber.

Seeing that Zhou Jiajia and her friends had not started eating yet, Uncle and Aunt curiously asked, "What's wrong? Doesn't it suit your taste?"

"No, we just ate a little in Lishan City, so we're not very hungry," Zhou Jiajia awkwardly replied.

She truly struggled to swallow the food; she would rather munch on nuts or biscuits than eat these dishes.

"Oh? But didn't you just say you were hungry?" Aunt said accusatorially, thinking that Zhou Jiajia and her friends were disparaging her cooking.

However, this was also normal, as she was no great chef, and it was certain she couldn't meet their finicky tastes.

"Alright now! Sister-in-law, it's only natural for city folks to be unaccustomed to this, don't take it personally," Lin's mother spoke up, defending her daughter-in-law.

You can't expect a city person to immediately adapt to rural life; it's impossible, it can only be achieved gradually. And honestly, these dishes were indeed a bit tough to eat and were leftover, so you couldn't entirely blame Zhou Jiajia and her friends.

Aunt also realized her mistake, so she lost her anger.

Now that Lin Yifan was a big boss, she didn't want to strain the relationship too far, as that would make future interactions very difficult.

After settling the meal issue, Lin's mother started cooking rice porridge herself to serve to the four daughters-in-law who had lost their appetite.

Meanwhile, Lin Yifan set his chopsticks down, stepped out of the house; then he opened the trunk and took out the gifts for the relatives.

He gave a set to his elder uncle and aunt, and uncle and aunt; then chatted a while before taking them home.

It was getting dark, and he planned to have the porridge, then bathe and go to bed, so he first took these four relatives home.

Upon receiving the gifts, Aunt couldn't stop smiling, thrilled to her core.

This was the first time she had received such high-end cosmetics and various delicious items.

"This Yifan is really great, still remembering us poor relatives even after making it big, he truly deserves our affection."
