Chapter 778: Chapter 350: What Stands Upright Is Not the Pole, but Father’s Waist

The market street in the rural town is lined with chaotic storefronts on both sides.

Some are tall, some are short; they don’t look very clean or tidy, but they are full of a rich life atmosphere.

Nowadays, although every household has a car, most are ordinary A-Class cars costing tens of thousands.

An elegant and luxurious silver Mercedes-Benz S-Class suddenly appeared on the town’s street, naturally attracting a lot of attention and glances.

Soon, familiar townsfolk and shop owners gathered around, looking at this scene with surprise and envy.

The township area is a relatively traditional social environment where people’s perception of wealth and success is quite straightforward.

Of course, this is also one of the imprints of the era, after all, the Mercedes-Benz had a profound influence in those times.

To many of them, a Mercedes is the standard for rich people and is also a significant symbol of status and position.

For important occasions like weddings, the lead car would usually be a Mercedes-Benz.

"Is this... Tang Song? Haven’t seen you for over a year, almost couldn’t recognize you. Oh my, you’ve grown so well!"

"Good morning, Madam."

"Song, I heard you’re developing in Yan City. What are you doing now?"

"I’m an entrepreneur, started a live-streaming e-commerce company."

"Sister, is this your son’s car? Oh man, already driving a Mercedes! Incredible!"

"Oh, Tang Song is a smart kid, I could tell when I watched him grow up!"

...

Xu Feng, holding her son’s arm, chatted loudly with them beside the Mercedes, her face adorned with wrinkles of happiness.

During earlier video chats, her son mentioned that his partnered company was doing exceptionally well, now had dozens of employees, and even bought a car.

Although they didn’t understand live-streaming sales and women’s fashion, they’d checked online and even asked around, knowing this industry was really hot now.

They felt guilty for not having any skills and dragging their son down.

Seeing their son now, full of vigor and looking tall and handsome, they felt full of emotion and comfort.

After all, most people came to the market to attend to business, and couldn’t chat idly for too long.

Li Ranran had already ended her stream, standing obediently outside the shop door, her eyes fixed on Tang Song’s direction.

"Pa—"

Beside her, Sister Guo slapped her on the butt, annoyed, "Didn’t you look down on him? Didn’t you say he’s unsuitable? Regretting it now?"

Li Ranran shrunk her neck, whispered, "Mom, keep your voice down!"

"Haha, now you care about face?" Sister Guo angrily lamented her lack of ambition, "You just said in front of his mom he’s unsuitable, messed up the match, and offended them!"

Li Ranran turned red, stammering, unable to speak.

Who would have thought that Tang Song would turn out like this after half a year?

A rich and handsome attractive man, an entrepreneur becoming a boss, driving a Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

"You girl! I was initially thinking maybe Tang Song could help you find a job."

"Well... How about I go apologize? After all, I’m doing live-streaming now, maybe Brother Tang Song needs someone like me?"

Sister Guo gritted her teeth, "I don’t see any talent in you!"

She really couldn’t handle her daughter, who stayed home for over two months, idling away her days.

Even though the family didn’t need her meager earnings, for a college graduate who hadn’t graduated long ago, being this unambitious made them lose face in the village.

A lot of people started spreading rumors behind their backs.

This could be a good opportunity to educate her properly.

Li Ranran protested softly, "Mom, I’m still a beauty, right? I’m not that bad!"

Sister Guo tapped her on the head, "Instead of having those thoughts, why not learn from people’s live-streaming experiences."

She often heard people saying someone had become an internet celebrity, earning a lot of money online, but never felt much because they weren’t close to her.

Now seeing Tang Song with his Mercedes, she naturally felt quite shocked.

If her daughter could also become rich through live-streaming, that would be great.

Looking at the composed, confident, and talented Tang Song not far away, Sister Guo secretly thought, "What a pity."

Having a son-in-law like this would be a dream come true.

It’s a pity her daughter truly isn’t a match for him.

Everyone chatted lively at the shop door for a while, said a lot of nice things, and hinted at inquiries about Tang Song’s current company and income before dispersing reluctantly.

However, the news about Tang Jianying’s and Xu Feng’s son’s entrepreneurial success and driving a Mercedes quietly spread in a small scope.

Becoming a topic of conversation and envy for many people during meals.

...

The small hardware store is compact yet orderly.

To Tang Song, it felt more like a warehouse.

The shelves were densely packed with various types of hardware tools.

From screws, nuts, washers, to pipes and electrical materials, to some common household items.

Everything was complete, and the shelves had expanded from the original 4 to 6 sets.

It showed that his parents were very dedicated in their management.

Tang Song turned his gaze back, looking at his smiling mother, asking, "Mom, where’s Dad? Out working?"

The hardware store often provided door-to-door services.

Like changing a faucet or locks.

His father had previous experience working in a renovation team and was skilled, allowing them to support such a store.

"Sigh, he went out to collect debts, should be back by noon."

Tang Song was surprised, "What debts?"

Xu Feng sighed somewhat helplessly, "Didn’t you send over a hundred thousand before? Your dad got ambitious again, agreed to let the renovation team take goods from our shop with monthly settlements to get work. But the biggest client didn’t keep their word and is delaying payments..."
