Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2356 - 2292: A Red Envelope for Everyone

Previously on Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s...
Jiang Shiheng makes a grand and meticulously groomed return to the Jiang family, kneeling before Old Master Jiang to mark his official homecoming after twenty years. His striking appearance and charm immediately captivate the guests, effectively silencing rumors regarding his worthiness and shifting the social tide in his favor. While the family shares an emotional reunion, Cheng Cheng observes the strategic brilliance behind his godfather's entrance, noting how easily he reclaimed his status. Amidst the tears and celebration, the long-awaited meeting reinforces the deep bonds and complex dynamics within the household.

Old Master Jiang gripped Jiang Shiheng's hand firmly, his voice quivering as he declared: "Come, Xiao Sixth, let's return home!"

Right at the doorway, a copper basin filled with flames stood ready, while nearby, an individual clutched a bowl of clear water, inside which branches of Immortal Grass were steeped.

"Step across the fire basin to dispel ill fortune, and starting today, enjoy a life of peace and security, free from any disasters!" Old Master Jiang tugged Jiang Shiheng along and urged: "Xiao Sixth, don't hold back—march right over that fire basin!"

"Yes, Grandpa."

Jiang Shiheng eyed the roaring fire basin before boldly stepping across it.

The lady nearby promptly grabbed the Immortal Grass and splashed the water over him.

Jiang Shiheng gazed at her, noticing her eyes were swollen and red.

"Xiao Sixth, do you still recall who I am?"

This lady appeared around fifty years old, sporting short hair secured with black clips near her ears, dressed in a deep purple qipao, and adorned with a necklace of pearls. She carried an air of elegance, yet without the lavish flair of the other Jiang Family ladies.

Jiang Shiheng observed her closely, a surge of affection warming his gaze.

"Eighth Great Aunt, how could Xiao Sixth ever forget you?"

At the sound of "Eighth Great Aunt," tears cascaded down Madam Jiang Bagu's cheeks without restraint.

Being close in age to Jiang Shiheng's father, she had shared a tight bond with him from their youth, and she held a special fondness for the Sixth Young Master.

Yet, after wedding into a city nearby and residing outside D State, plus her mild-mannered nature, she seldom visited the Jiang Family in recent years and avoided meddling in their affairs.

Hearing about Jiang Shiheng's comeback, she hurried back to D State, abandoning all else. She even fetched this Immortal Grass from her own residence.

Her desire was to personally cleanse away the bad luck for Xiao Sixth, hoping he would remain healthy and protected henceforth.

"Xiao Sixth remembers me, he truly does. But the kids back home, he likely won't know many of them, as they weren't even born back when he departed all those years."

Old Master Jiang commented, his face wet with tears even as he smiled.

"Now, let's head indoors."

With that, he abruptly faced the gathering outside and proclaimed: "Today, we express our gratitude to all you neighbors and villagers for your care toward our Xiao Sixth! Kindly stay put—servants will soon emerge to hand out red envelopes to every one of you, so you can join in our celebration! This marks a joyous occasion for the Jiang Family!"

The moment these words rang out, excitement rippled through the onlookers.

Old Master Jiang proved his boundless generosity once more!

Hundreds, perhaps thousands, had gathered to watch, and giving red envelopes to all? Ensuring each got something?

The Jiang Family was renowned for its open-handed ways, so folks figured these packets wouldn't hold paltry amounts.

This gesture surely demanded a hefty expenditure.

Old Master Jiang cherished and treasured Sixth Young Master Jiang immensely!

Did this signal that the family legacy would pass to Sixth Young Master Jiang after all?

Plenty of insights could be drawn from such a display.

Soon, the group buzzed with eager chatter and guesses.

Cheng Cheng trailed the expansive Jiang Family entourage past the gate, etching every face's reaction into his memory.

The Jiang Family's grand entrance was shut for the moment, but not long after, a Jiang household member appeared carrying sacks and started passing out the red envelopes.

"Form a line, please—everyone gets one, no rushing or shoving required."

"Many thanks, Old Master!"

The fellow handing out the envelopes called out louder: "In truth, this was Sixth Young Master's suggestion. He mentioned that during his time overseas, he cherished the kindness from his hometown folks, so now that he's back, he wishes to spread his happiness of reunion! These red envelopes come straight from Sixth Young Master's personal savings accumulated over the years."
