Chapter 2321

Mei Yuzhen's words gave her eldest son immense encouragement.

On the other end of the phone, the eldest son said with barely concealed excitement: "Mom, with those words from you, I can truly rest easy!"

Mei Yuzhen let out a cold snort and said: "I'm telling you, don't mess around outside anymore, especially not with girls from families like the Suns. Their level is just too low!"

The eldest son hurriedly asked: "Mom, what did you say is too low? What level? I didn't quite catch that!"

Mei Yuzhen scolded him, frustrated that he wouldn't live up to her expectations: "I told you to study more English, study more English! I've been out here hustling for over twenty years, and you can't even understand what 'level' means? You're a damn waste!"

The eldest son chuckled and said: "Mom, people say that the yin is strong and the yang is weak. In our family, you alone hold up more than half the sky, so naturally, I don't stand out much..."

Mei Yuzhen's mood softened a bit after being flattered by her eldest son, and she asked: "If I remember correctly, when we went back to our hometown to pay respects to our ancestors a few years ago, I saw that Sun family girl. It seemed like she hadn't even finished middle school before she went to work in a factory, right?"

"Yes," the eldest son said casually. "She spent a few years working outside, then later she seemed to go home for matchmaking. She didn't take a liking to any of the young men in the village, so she said she wanted to come out and work again. That's when her dad found me..."

Mei Yuzhen gave a hum and said: "From now on, keep your distance from their family. Once the child is born, cut off contact with them. If you look for a woman outside in the future, set your sights a bit higher. At the very least, find a young woman who has graduated from university! That way, she can still bear you two more children!"

The eldest son said dejectedly: "Mom... how could someone who's a proper university graduate ever take a liking to me..."

Mei Yuzhen scoffed dismissively: "So what if she's a university graduate? How much money can a university graduate earn in a month? How many lifetimes would a university graduate have to struggle before they could afford a luxury car and live in a villa? Someone like you is already considered a successful person in the eyes of university students. If there really is such a good opportunity, they'd be too happy to have it!"

The eldest son gave a dry laugh: "But I'm getting on in years now. Among the girls these days, who would still like an old man in his thirties like me?"

Mei Yuzhen chuckled and said: "Look at those female celebrities. They can earn tens of millions, or even over a hundred million a year on their own, yet many of them still choose to marry old men who are even older than their own fathers. Why? Isn't it just because old men are wealthier than them?"

As she spoke, Mei Yuzhen said indifferently: "Mom has been out here for so many years, and I've long since understood: whatever shortcomings a man has can be compensated for with money. Age, being ugly, being short, low education—as long as you have money, none of these are problems. But only having no money is the problem. Without money, what's the use even if you're handsome? A girl might be blinded by love at first and be willing to endure hunger and cold with you for a year or two, but after a year or two, she will understand that being good-looking is useless; only money is the hard truth."

The eldest son gave a silly laugh: "I know, Mom. When you come back, the two of us will join forces to squeeze that old hag out, and then we'll scout for a young, beautiful female university student."

"Mm," Mei Yuzhen nodded and said: "Alright, I have things to do, I won't talk to you anymore. Regarding the fifty thousand US dollars, go and contact people privately to see if anyone wants to exchange currency. If there is, I can make the trade in a few days once I'm done with what's on my hands."

The eldest son said excitedly: "Alright, Mom, I'll go contact them right now!"

Mei Yuzhen hung up the phone. Man Jinshan, who was driving, said with a smile: "Sister Mei, are you going to have another grandchild? How many is that now? Nine, right?"

Mei Yuzhen smiled for once, nodded, and said: "That's right, nine."

Man Jinshan asked with some surprise: "Sister Mei, do you like children that much? If I were you, if my two sons had eight or nine children, I'm afraid my brains would explode."

Mei Yuzhen waved her hand: "You don't understand."

As she spoke, she turned to look at Man Yingjie and Sun Huina sitting in the back row, and said: "You two listen well: those of us in this line of work do the most damage to our own virtue and the blessings of our descendants. Therefore, if you have the conditions, you must have more children, have more children. If God wants to leave someone without descendants, the fewer children they have, the harder it is to fight fate. But if there are enough children, in case retribution comes and falls on the descendants, those with many children might just have one or two who slip through the net."

Man Jinshan was left dumbfounded, and said awkwardly: "Sister Mei, it's not as evil as you make it sound, is it..."

Mei Yuzhen said expressionlessly: "Whether it's that evil or not, I don't know. People say you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket, but the key problem is, you can't have only one egg. If you have enough eggs, God will get very tired smashing them one by one. Besides, if he smashes too many, he'll get numb, and maybe he'll stop."

Hearing this, the other three were all filled with horror.

They couldn't imagine that the so-called eggs in Mei Yuzhen's mouth were actually her own children and grandchildren.

Translated, it meant that if God wanted to take her children and grandchildren, he would get tired taking them one by one, and if he took enough, maybe he would leave one or two who slipped through the net.

Mei Yuzhen didn't take the three's shock into her eyes at this moment, but just asked indifferently: "How much longer until we reach the border?"

Man Jinshan said: "Even if we drive without stopping, it will take at least 30 hours. How about we find a city and take a plane there?"

"No," Mei Yuzhen waved her hand: "I'm the type of person who hates taking planes the most. Except for returning to my home country, I almost never take a plane at other times."

Man Jinshan hurriedly asked: "Sister Mei, are you afraid that planes aren't safe?"

Mei Yuzhen shook her head: "I know planes are very safe, at least much safer than taking a car, but that's for ordinary people. For us, a plane is a big, sealed cage. Once you climb inside, if the police come, there's absolutely no chance to run."

Man Jinshan nodded in sudden realization and asked Mei Yuzhen again: "Sister Mei, you haven't earned little money for your family over these years. It's about time to go back and enjoy your old age, right?"

Mei Yuzhen said indifferently: "Let's do it until the end of the year. Once I reach the end of the year, I'll leave. After working so hard for so many years and building up so much foundation, it's indeed time to go back and enjoy some peace and comfort."

Man Jinshan sighed: "Sister Mei, your husband marrying you, the smoke from his ancestral grave must have been rising. He doesn't have to do anything, just enjoy peace and comfort back in the country!"

Mei Yuzhen snorted: "He's just a waste who eats and waits for death. If it weren't for the fact that my two sons and my grandchildren all changed their surnames to mine, I would have kicked him out of the house long ago. How could I let him have the chance to enjoy this peace and comfort."

As she spoke, she looked at Man Jinshan and asked him: "By the way, when do you plan to go back?"

Man Jinshan laughed dryly: "I'm still early... I've earned much less than you over these years. If I want to have no worries about food and clothing in the future, I have to struggle for a few more years no matter what."

Mei Yuzhen gave a hum and said with some expectation: "Running around in the United States all these years, without a fixed place to live, I want to go back and properly enjoy the family happiness of living in my own home, with my children and grandchildren surrounding me."

What Mei Yuzhen didn't know was that the Wanlong Palace had already sent all the information they had investigated to the domestic police.

And at this very moment, the police had already prepared to close the net.

When her eldest son walked out of his villa and was preparing to sit in that newly bought Mercedes-Benz G-Class, a group of police officers suddenly rushed in.

The leading police officer took out an arrest warrant and said to Mei Yuzhen's eldest son: "Mei Dayong! You are now officially arrested by the police on suspicion of money laundering!"
