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

With his voice wavering, Old Master Jiang grasped Jiang Shiheng’s hand tightly. "Come, Xiao Sixth, let’s return home!"

At the threshold, a copper fire basin had been positioned. Beside it stood an attendant holding a bowl of Qingshui, where branches of Immortal Grass were currently soaking.

"Step over the fire basin to cleanse the misfortune. From this moment on, may you live in peace and safety, shielded from all calamity!" Old Master Jiang urged Jiang Shiheng, pulling him forward. "Xiao Sixth, do not hesitate—stride across the flames!"

"Yes, Grandpa."

Jiang Shiheng focused on the flickering fire basin and took a long stride over it.

Immediately, the woman standing nearby lifted the Immortal Grass and flicked droplets of water onto him.

When Jiang Shiheng turned his gaze toward her, he saw that her eyes were rimmed with red.

"Xiao Sixth, do you still have a memory of me?"

The woman appeared to be about fifty years old. Her bobbed hair was secured at her ears with black pins, and she was dressed in a dark purple qipao accented by a pearl necklace. She carried herself with dignity, though her appearance was less extravagant than the other ladies of the Jiang Family.

A sense of warmth filled Jiang Shiheng’s eyes as he looked at her.

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

The moment he called her Eighth Great Aunt, Madam Jiang Bagu’s tears began to flow uncontrollably.

Because she was close in age to Jiang Shiheng’s father, the two had shared a tight bond since childhood, and she had always harbored a deep affection for the Sixth Young Master.

However, she had married into a Neighboring City and lived outside of D State. Combined with her quiet, gentle nature, she rarely visited the Jiang Family over the years and avoided interfering in the clan's internal affairs.

But upon hearing the news of Jiang Shiheng’s return, she had dropped everything and rushed back to D State. She had even brought the Immortal Grass from her own home.

She was determined to personally purge the bad luck from Xiao Sixth, praying for his future safety and well-being.

"Xiao Sixth remembers her, he truly remembers. However, he likely won't recognize most of the younger generation here, as many of these children hadn't even been born when he departed all those years ago."

Old Master Jiang spoke through a mixture of tears and laughter.

"Come, let us head inside first."

After saying this, he turned suddenly to face the crowd gathered outside. "Today, I also wish to thank the neighbors and villagers for the concern you have shown for our Xiao Sixth! Please, do not leave just yet. Someone will be out shortly to hand out red envelopes to everyone so that you may all share in our celebration! This is a day of immense joy for the Jiang Family!"

The crowd erupted in excitement as soon as the announcement was made.

Old Master Jiang was truly a man of great generosity!

There were hundreds, perhaps over a thousand onlookers, and he intended to give red envelopes to every single person? Everyone would receive a share?

Knowing the Jiang Family's reputation for never being stingy, the crowd already suspected that these red envelopes would contain a significant amount.

This gesture would surely cost a small fortune.

It was clear that Old Master Jiang still deeply cherished and valued Sixth Young Master Jiang!

Did this mean the Jiang Family’s legacy would still be handed down to Sixth Young Master Jiang?

There was much to be inferred from such a display of favoritism.

Instantly, the spectators began to whisper and speculate with great fervor.

Following the large Jiang Family procession through the entrance, Cheng Cheng once again etched all their facial expressions into his memory.

The main gates of the Jiang Family were shut temporarily, but it wasn't long before a representative emerged carrying bags to begin the distribution of red envelopes.

"Please form a line; there is no need to push or shove, everyone will get one."

"Our thanks to the Old Master!"

The man handing out the envelopes raised his voice to address the crowd again. "In truth, this was the Sixth Young Master’s idea. Sixth Young Master said that during his years abroad, he always remembered the warmth shown by the elders of his hometown. Now that he has returned, he wants everyone to feel the joy of his homecoming! These red envelopes come directly from the Sixth Young Master’s own savings from over the years."
