Chapter 660: Chapter 649: The Weasel Pays a New Year's Visit
Auntie Wang, upon noticing the situation, coughed and began to butter up.
"Old Master Chi, how cyou didn’t share such good news with all of us neighbors, that Xiao Chi got a job at
Professor Qiao’s Research Institute? Actually, sof the things | brought are to return to you, sare as an
apology, but the rest are gifts to celebrate Xiao Chi working at the institute."
After that long speech, Auntie Wang continued without pause.
"I always knew Xiao Chi had it in him, look, he’s already working at Professor Qiao’s Research Institute, our
village really has produced a celebrity now!"
Chi Chenyun was stunned, and now even more confused.
"Wait, Xiao Wang, what exactly are you talking about? What about my Yuhang working at the research institute?"
After hearing Chi Chenyun’s response, Auntie Wang's ingratiating smile stiffened, assuming he was still dwelling
on a previous issue and pretending to be oblivious.
She clenched her teeth and stood up to leave.
"I'll go hand grab sitems; I'll be right back."
Chi Chenyun still had no idea what was going on, surrounded by all these gifts, unsure about what to do.
But he was curious, what was this about his Yuhang working at Professor Qiao’s Research Institute that Xiao
Wang mentioned?
Although they didn’t have a TV or anything, he still knew about someone as significant as Professor Qiao.
Now Xiao Wang was claiming his Yuhang had gone to work at the institute, and specifically at Professor Qiao’s,
which he hardly believed.
Moreover, it wasn't just any institute; it was the empire's most prestigious Qiao’s Research Institute!
It’s not that he doubted Yuhang’s capabilities, but he just couldn't believe such a thing would happen in their
family, especially since Yuhang had been working odd jobs lately, how could he possibly be working at an
institute?
Chi Chenyun thought for a moment, just about to take out his phone to call his Chi Yuhang for a thorough inquiry,
when he was interrupted by the sounds of chickens and ducks squawking from outside the door.
Auntie Wang walked in grinning, carrying a chicken in her left hand, a duck in her right, and bearing two bags of
vegetables.
"Old Master Chi, these are also my apology gifts. Please don’t be too harsh on me, can we let bygones be
bygones?"
Chi Chenyun ignored the gifts and instead asked Auntie Wang,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Xiao Wang, did you just say that my Yuhang is working at Professor Qiao’s Research Institute?"
Hearing Chi Chenyun willing to talk about something else, Auntie Wang thought there was hope and was very
pleased.
"Yes, Old Master Chi, you can’t keep pretending you don’t know. | know what I did before was wrong, but I've
made it all up to you now with these chickens, ducks, and vegetables. Won't you forgive me?"
Unknown to them, several neighbors were watching at the doorway.
They had been comfortably at home, and those living nearby, hearing the commotion of chickens and their
flapping wings, thought a chicken might have gotten loose and cout to check.
Seeing Auntie Wang carrying chickens, ducks, and vegetables into the Chi family’s house was quite the scene.
Curiosity naturally got the better of them, and they followed suit subconsciously.
Seeing the Chi family’s ground covered with various bags of vegetables, sfarming tools, and chickens and
ducks, they were immediately dumbfounded.
All these items were brought over by Auntie Wang?
The usually stingy Auntie Wang had brought so many gifts to the Chi family’s house and had said so many nice
things?
They did not rashly interrupt but instead continued observing from the side.
Chi Chenyun'’s eyebrows were almost twisted into knots, as he couldn't figure out the reason behind the matter.
"What? Xiao Hang really went to work at the research institute, and | had no idea about this at all. He went out to
work today just like any other day!"
Auntie Wang saw that she had brought over so many things, yet Chi Chenyun was still playing dumb which kind
of ticked her off, but she still didn’t dare to speak her mind openly.
She said cheerfully:
"Old Master Chi, how can you pretend not to know? This morning when | went shopping, | saw Xiao Chi walk into
the research institute with my own eyes, and | even asked the guard. They said Xiao Chi is actually a staff
member at Professor Qiao’s Research Institute!"
Chi Chenyun was no fool, and he now understood the intention behind Auntie Wang bringing so many gifts.
But he still found it hard to believe that Yuhang had gone to work in the research institute. For such a major
happy event, how could Yuhang not have told him about it himself?
The neighbors gathered outside, upon hearing Auntie Wang's words, stared wide-eyed and glanced at each
other.
In each other's eyes, they saw disbelief and shock.
It didn’t seem right to say that the news was false, considering that Auntie Wang was so stingy. Who could make
her give away so many gifts— it was almost like taking her life.
And now the fact that Auntie Wang had brought the gifts to the Chi Family meant it definitely could not be
without reason.
Chi Chenyun, just as puzzled as the neighbors, finally pulled out his phone and got in touch with Chi Yuhang.
"Xiao Hang, is there something you're keeping from me?"
At that moment, Chi Yuhang was familiarizing himself with the environment of the research institute. He
immediately moved to a less crowded area upon receiving the call.
"Grandpa?"
Chi Chenyun clumsily pressed on the old-fashioned phone, fumbling for a long tbefore he managed to
activate the speakerphone.

Upon hearing Chi Chenyun’s words, Chi Yuhang paused, then furrowed his brow and said seriously:
"Grandpa, | am indeed working at Professor Qiao’s Research Institute right now. As for why | didn’t tell you, I'll
explain when | get back, but we can’t accept the gifts Auntie Wang brought over."

Therefore, his family must definitely not accept these gifts
Auntie Wang hadn't expected Chi Yuhang to be so firm, and her smile was really hard to maintain.
But how could she afford to stir up trouble with Chi Yuhang’s family again?
She had no choice but to plead earnestly:
"Xiao Chi, don’t be like that. | admit | haven't treated your family well before. These gifts | brought are what |
owe your family, so please don’t feel indebted to me. If anything, it’swho owes you."
Unable to hold back, the neighbors outside finally walked in.
"Old Master Chi, | heard everything from outside! Xiao Chi is now working at Professor Qiao’s Research Institute!
That's really something to celebrate!"
"Yes, | never imagined Xiao Chi could be so capable. This is really great! Our village has never seen someone so
