Chapter: 5253

"Put simply, we Jiang family people have waited so long just to get an opportunity to live forever, no matter how remote the chance; however, I don't want to wait anymore. If we really do wait, I won't be able to ask for eternal life myself, and my youngest child is still immature. If he gets eternal life, it could actually be a bad thing for him..."

The old lady's eyes lit up with surprise and gratitude. "Ah, I see what you mean now. If he had really gotten eternal life, it would have been a bad thing for him..."

She paused, collecting her thoughts. "I understand the principle that an innocent person without guilt should not be held accountable for some wrongdoing..."

Her gaze drifted off, lost in thought. "If we don't get eternal life, my youngest child might end up in a public old folks' home and still have a good ending..."

Caiyi nodded vigorously, his eyes shining with conviction. "It's true that over 1,450 years have passed, and I think Grand Master Meng should have already transcended to the realm of immortals, even if we wait..."

The old lady slightly nodded her head, sighing wistfully. "I too feel like hope is fleeting, so my youngest child got swindled and wanted to go out to make money and bring me to the city life..."

As she spoke, a sudden thought struck her. "Ah, yes! Your Excellency, when my child was in Mexico, he had already reached a critical state..."

Caiyi nodded in agreement. "At that time, his condition was already at death's door, and ordinary means would no longer be enough to save him, so I gave him a blood-stopping elixir pellet..."

The old lady was taken aback by the sudden appearance of this rare elixir, her eyes filled with gratitude. "You were able to produce such precious medicine for my youngest child, Your Excellency; this debt will be eternally engraved in my memory..."

With a gentle wave of his hand, Yecha said seriously: "Aunt Jiang, this amount of money means nothing to me, not even the tip of a cow's hair. Moreover, the pearl necklace you gave me has many uses for me, and I couldn't possibly let you and your son continue living here."

Yecha continued: "After all, over 1,000 years have passed, and Uncle Meng hasn't appeared yet. He won't appear in the future either, so there's no need to wait any longer because of ancestral wishes. Why not leave this place with your son and live a peaceful life in the city?"

Yecha added: "And besides, although your son has lost one kidney, he still has the effect of the dan pills. On the whole, he won't be much worse than normal people. He will definitely get married and have children to continue the Jiang family lineage."

Yecha's words struck a chord with Aunt Jiang.

She muttered sadly: "I'm old now, and I don't have many years left to live. Whether we leave or stay doesn't matter that much. The main concern is my youngest son; if he doesn't go out, he won't be able to get married even. But if he goes out, his self-reliance will still be lacking..."

Yecha smiled and said: "This you don't need to worry about. I only let someone buy a storefront because I think that the storefront can allow your son to open a small supermarket at home."

Aunt Jiang quickly replied: "My child is not as smart as ordinary people; he's not qualified to run a business..."

Yecha chuckled: "Opening a small supermarket isn't as difficult as you think. As long as one is willing to sacrifice some retail profit, it's possible to find a supplier who will help set up the store for free. They might even offer to send goods over immediately after payment, and your son can just sit at home and scan orders..."

As he spoke, Yecha added: "The biggest cost of opening such a small supermarket is labor and rent. With our own storefront, the rent is gone, and the only remaining cost is labor costs. One person doesn't need to be busy either; if one wants to open, they can open, and if not, they won't. It's very casual."

Aunt Jiang looked worried: "Master, I understand your intentions, but these property matters are really something I cannot accept..."

Yecha chuckled: "Master, many girls outside are very realistic. If a man doesn't have a house or stable income, they won't even look at him. You can't take away what our ancestors created either, can you?"

This... the old lady suddenly didn't know how to respond.

Yecha continued: "Besides, I'm sure you also hope to live for many more years and spend time with your son. If he gets married and has children in the future, you'll definitely want to help bring up a few grandkids."

The old lady sighed bitterly: "I don't even have that kind of life left. If I can see him get married and have children, that's already a blessing from our ancestors, with no regrets..."

Yecha nodded, taking out a pill from his pocket and saying casually: "Oh, by the way, Master, this is a medicinal pill I've prepared myself. It has the effect of strengthening one's body and health. Why don't you try one?"

The old lady didn't know that the pill Yecha took out was actually the legendary elixir passed down through generations in the Jiang family. JrNovels.com
