The report was naturally about tax evasion, as the Hua country was unforgiving of such offenses.
Most importantly, Chen Jiaguo had also engaged in double-crossing, which Mo Chen had discovered.
Thus, after some deliberation, the two directly reported Chen Jiaguo's farm and even informed the police about where the previous account books were hidden.
Chen Jiaguo's farm had been handed over to Qu Jun when he married Chen Bao'er, so both of them were taken in for investigation this time.
As for the subsequent investigation and its outcome, they were not yet aware, but it was unlikely to be good.
After staying in H City for a few more days, the three, who had been away from home for more than half a month, finally set off for home. The Jiang family, a family of three, accompanied them.
Upon learning that their future in-laws were coming, Shen's father and Shen's mother immediately hired people to do a thorough cleaning.
Not only the Shen family but also the neighboring agritainment resort underwent the same treatment. The excited Shen family villagers even took the turtles out of the rock garden pond to scrub them clean.
Red carpets were also laid out for both the agritainment resort and the Shen residence, and colorful balloons were hung along the roads leading to them.
Although they had had a eldest daughter-in-law before, she had been raised by them and had no parents, so they were unsure how to interact with their new in-laws.
Shen's mother had to take a small stool and go to the places where the elderly people most liked to gather to seek advice.
It would have been better if she hadn't gone. After returning, Shen's mother was completely disheartened. Hearing about the "extreme" in-laws from the elderly people, Shen's mother silently wiped the sweat from her brow.
Perhaps they should just separate the second child, after all, they had many sons.
Shen Huaijin: ???!!!
Thus, amidst the tense and expectant emotions of the Shen family, Shen Yao and the Jiang family finally arrived.
"Mom and Dad, these are Qingqing's parents. Qingqing, these are my Mom and Dad," Shen Huaijin introduced them to each other.
"Welcome, welcome. I heard from the second child that you are a bit younger than me, so I'll call you Brother Jiang." Shen's father quickly assumed the role of the elder.
"Yes, yes, Brother Shen," Jiang Hongsheng immediately followed Shen's father's lead.
Brother Shen ushered the guests inside to talk.
The news of the second son of the Shen family bringing his girlfriend home had already spread throughout the village. After all, with such a big commotion, it was hard for people not to notice.
Even the employees of the agritainment resort knew about it, as the display from Boss Shen's family had truly shocked everyone.
Married young women and unmarried girls alike were envious. The married ones envied Jiang Qingqing's future in-laws for valuing her so much, while the unmarried ones hoped to meet such good in-laws themselves.
Having learned of their arrival early, Shen Huaimin and Ning Min went directly home to wait, without even going to the shop.
Shen Huaimin even brought out his best cooking skills and meticulously prepared a large table of dishes.
After entering the Shen family's home, the Jiang family was offered tea, snacks, and fruit by the Shen family, and then Shen Huaimin returned to the kitchen to reheat the dishes.
"Brother Jiang, come, try these fruits. They are all grown on our own mountain, and they are very delicious," Shen's father eagerly invited Jiang Hongsheng.
Shen Qingqing and Xie Lan were pulled aside by Shen's mother to chat, "Yes, you two try them too. The fruits we grow ourselves are indeed delicious."
After speaking, Shen's mother used a small knife to cut an orange and placed it in front of the Jiang family, also offering them several bunches of longan.
The Jiang family took them and were about to politely eat a little. After all, it would be impolite to be so enthusiastic and not respond in kind.
However, upon tasting them, they understood why the Shen family had so strongly recommended these fruits.
The oranges were fragrant and sweet, and the longan had thick flesh and small pits. They were incredibly delicious.
They couldn't stop eating. Finally, Shen Yao said, "Uncle and Aunt, Sister Qingqing, don't eat too much. You won't be able to eat my elder brother's cooking later. You'll regret it if you can't eat any more."
Shen Yao said with a smile, not making the Jiang family unhappy. Instead, it piqued their interest in Shen Yao's elder brother's cooking. Was it really that delicious?
Their doubts were soon dispelled by the aroma wafting from the kitchen. The smell was too fragrant!
Half an hour later, Shen Huaimin had reheated all the dishes and brought them to the table.
Since the Jiang family was from H City, which was famous for its spicy food, Shen Huaimin prepared many kinds of spicy dishes for this meal.
Chopped chili fish head, spicy chicken, stir-fried pork with chili, stir-fried eggs with green chili, but also southern specialty dishes and soups.
There was a table full of dishes, a total of 12 dishes and 3 soups.
After the meal, it was only past 3 PM, and the Shen family took them to the rooms specially prepared for them.
This time, the rooms were not at the Shen family's residence but at the neighboring agritainment resort.
The Shen family was thinking of them, fearing that they might not be comfortable or feel constrained staying at the Shen residence, so they arranged a small suite and a double room at the agritainment resort.
Because the small suite was a bit far away, this was the only arrangement possible.
Jiang's father and Jiang's mother stayed in the small suite, while Jiang Qingqing stayed in the double room next door.
Actually, the Jiang family could have comfortably stayed in one small suite, but the Shen family, fearing they might not be hospitable enough, arranged two rooms.
After returning to their rooms, Jiang's father started chatting with Jiang's mother.
"This Shen family doesn't seem like an ordinary family, considering their conditions," Jiang Hongsheng said, lying on the four-poster bed.
"Compared to you, they are just an ordinary family, aren't they? I told you back then to get to know them better before saying anything, but now, you've made Qingqing sad for so long for nothing," Xie Lan said unceremoniously.
Jiang Hongsheng, knowing he was in the wrong, touched his nose. However, if he had to do it again, he would still do the same, especially considering Shen Huaijin's physical condition at the time...
Thinking of this, Jiang Hongsheng had a hint of hesitation. He didn't know how his physical condition was. Although he no longer looked like a sickly person from before, the absence of a kidney was still a reality.
"Don't worry too much. I think Huaijin is in very good health. Look how much he's traveled recently without any discomfort."
After spending so much time together, how could she not know what he was thinking?
"That's true. At most, we'll just take good care of him. With today's advanced technology, there's nothing to worry about," Jiang Hongsheng said, and he also wholeheartedly approved of Shen Huaijin as his son-in-law.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have come directly to the Shen family with him. Wasn't the purpose of coming here to probe the Shen family's background?
"Exactly. We can also take this opportunity to get to know the Shen family better." Although the Shen family seemed very good now, one never knew what they were like in private.
