"People with different surnames don't know." The old lady replied: "These things have only been known to the direct line of the Jiang family."

Ye Chen nodded lightly and asked her: "Is the direct line of the Jiang family hoping to wait for Ancestor Meng to appear here?"

The old lady sighed and said blankly: "In the past, my grandfather and my father were still hoping that Ancestor Meng could appear. If we could really wait for the opportunity of longevity promised by Ancestor Meng to our ancestors, we would definitely be able to open a brand new life..."

Speaking of this, the old lady sighed decadently: "But I lost three sons one after another, and it wasn't until I was forty-five that I had this youngest son. After I finally pulled him up to adulthood, except for him, I don't care about the others..."

Ye Chen said: "If that Ancestor Meng is still alive and willing to fulfill his promise, you can also leave the opportunity for longevity to your son."

The old lady gave a wry smile, pointed to her temple, and said painfully: "My son, when he was born, he had some dystocia, which caused his brain to have some problems since he was born. Don't look at him like a normal person on the surface, he is actually slower than ordinary people, and simpler, and has no heart..."

As she spoke, the old lady paused slightly and continued: "I still dare not let him know about these things, because I am afraid that his childish nature will not be able to keep secrets..."

"To put it bluntly, the Jiang family has waited for so many years, just wanting to wait for a chance for longevity, although it is very slim, but they are still unwilling to give up;"

"But I don't want to wait anymore. If I really wait, it is impossible for me to seek longevity myself, but my youngest has immature mind. If he gets longevity, it might be a bad thing for him instead;"

"The truth that 'an innocent man is guilty of his crime' is something I still understand. If there is no longevity, he might be able to have a good end in a public nursing home in the future. If he really gets longevity, he might die of unnatural death in a few years..."

Ye Chen nodded in agreement and said sincerely: "To tell you the truth, more than 1,400 years have passed, and I feel that Ancestor Meng should have passed away. Even if you wait, you are destined not to wait for this opportunity."

The old lady nodded slightly and sighed: "I also feel that the hope is slim, so my youngest was bewitched and wanted to go out to work to make a lot of money and take me to live in the city. I indulged him, so I sold a piece of ancestral jewelry and raised some travel expenses. 1 I went to Mexico with him, but I never thought that that time would almost cost our mother and son's lives. Thanks to the benefactor's rescue, we were lucky enough to come back alive..."

As she spoke, the old lady suddenly remembered something and added: "By the way, benefactor, when my son was in Mexico, he was already dying, but when we woke up on the bus, his state was no different from normal people. This should be thanks to you, right?"

Ye Chen nodded: "At that time, his state was already dying, and it was impossible to save him by ordinary means, so I gave him a Blood-Dispersing Heart-Saving Pill. This kind of pill is very magical, but it is still a bit worse than the Rejuvenation Pill."

The old lady was shocked and said with incomparable gratitude: "You can take out such a precious pill for my youngest. I will remember this kindness for the rest of my life... It's just that I don't have any ability, and I don't know how to repay your kindness of saving my life..."

Ye Chen looked at the Phoenix Bone Vine bracelet in his hand and said frankly: "Grandma Jiang, although I saved you and your son, your bracelet is extremely precious and helped me a lot. In my opinion, even if I did these things, I still feel indebted in my heart."

The old lady said with some terror: "Benefactor, don't think so... No matter how precious things are, they are always things, and they can't be more important than life..."

Ye Chen smiled slightly: "When we parted that day, I promised you that I would come to see you in person after returning to the country, and let you and your son live without worry for the rest of your lives. So I came this time to fulfill my promise. I asked someone to buy a small villa in Shu Du and a storefront nearby. You can move there with your son."

The old lady hurriedly said: "Benefactor, this can't be done... You saved our mother and son's lives, we have nothing to repay, how can we take your real estate..."

Ye Chen waved his hand and said seriously: "Grandma Jiang, this money is not even a drop in the bucket for me. Besides, your bracelet is very useful to me. How can I feel at ease letting you and your son continue to live here."

As he spoke, Ye Chen added: "More than a thousand years have passed, and Ancestor Meng has never appeared. He will never appear in the future. Since that is the case, you don't have to wait any longer because of your ancestors' last wishes. It is better to leave here with your son and live a stable life in the city."

"Moreover, although your son lost a kidney, with the effect of the pill, he will not be worse than normal people in general. He will definitely be able to marry and have children in the future and continue the incense for the Jiang family. But if you keep staying here, the Jiang family bloodline might really be broken."

Ye Chen's words touched the old lady's soft spot.

She said sadly: "I am old, and I don't have many years to live. In fact, it doesn't matter whether I leave here or not. It is mainly my youngest. If he doesn't go out, he can't even find a wife. But if he goes out, his self-care ability is still poor, and I am worried that he can't take care of himself..."

Ye Chen smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this. The reason why I asked someone to buy a storefront is that I think the storefront can let your son open a small supermarket at the door."

The old lady hurriedly said: "My son is much more stupid than ordinary people, he is not the material for opening a supermarket..."

Ye Chen smiled: "Opening a small supermarket is not as difficult as you think. As long as you are willing to sacrifice a little profit at the retail end, you can find a supplier who is willing to advance funds to stock up for the supermarket. They are even willing to help you fill the goods without paying a penny first, and you can settle with them while selling. They can even deliver goods to your door at any time in the subsequent process. Your son only needs to sit in the store and settle with customers with a scanning gun. And now the cashier software is connected to the inventory data. There will be prompts for what is about to be sold out. At that time, you only need to call the supplier and they will send the things over."

As he spoke, Ye Chen added: "The biggest cost of opening such a small supermarket is manpower and rent. With your own storefront, the rent is saved. The rest is just manpower cost. And a small supermarket is not too busy for one person. You can open the door if you want, and don't open it if you don't want to. Be casual. You can earn a few thousand yuan a month easily. If it really doesn't work, you can also rent out the storefront directly. The rent is enough for your mother and son to live."

The old lady said terrifically: "Benefactor, I have accepted your kindness, but I really can't accept the house..."

Ye Chen was not in a hurry, just smiled and said: "Grandma Jiang, many girls outside are very realistic. If a man has no house and no stable income, they won't like him at all. You can't sell the paintings left by your ancestors, right?"

"This..." The old lady didn't know how to answer for a while.

Ye Chen added: "Besides, you must also hope to live a few more years, accompany your son more, and if he marries and has children in the future, you must also want to help bring your grandchildren for a few years."

The old lady gave a wry smile: "How can I have that life? If I can live to see him marry and have children, it is already the ancestors' blessing, and I will die without regrets..."

Ye Chen nodded, took a Rejuvenation Pill from his pocket, and said casually: "Oh, by the way, Grandma Jiang, this is a pill I made myself. It has the effect of strengthening the body. Try eating one."
