-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------At noon, the Chen family returned for lunch, a large group of people bustling about. Everyone was pulling and calling towards Xiang Chen, and in the end, he couldn't figure out who was who.

The only two people he remembered were probably Chen Guocai and Pang Li, whom he addressed as Uncle and Aunt. It was because the way these two people looked at him felt like they had dipped their eyes in poison and wanted to stab him with eye knives.

Huddling behind Chen Guoliang, Xiang Chen pretended to look frightened. Chen Guoliang's protective instincts were immediately roused, and he gave his younger brother and sister-in-law a sharp look.

His relationship with his younger brother, Chen Guocai, wasn't actually good. In the early years, when their father was still alive, the one he favored the most was actually the youngest, Chen Guocai. Chen Guoliang and Chen Guocai were of similar age, making it even more apparent to Chen Guoliang that their father favored his younger brother.

Later, both Chen Guoliang and Chen Guocai were sent to study, but when the family's financial situation deteriorated, they could only afford to support one. Chen Guoliang, being more aware of the situation, knew that if he couldn't change his father's favoritism, the only thing he could work on was his own academic achievements.

So he studied hard, leaving Chen Guocai far behind, eventually making his way through school. Naturally, the family could only afford to support one person who could excel in academics, and it was Chen Guoliang, not Chen Guocai, who had to drop out of school.

This was also one of the reasons why Chen Guocai had resented Chen Guoliang and coveted his family's property. He always felt that his father had wanted to support him to study, and if he had continued, he might have been the one to become a worker, not Chen Guoliang. He believed that Chen Guoliang owed him.

With his dreams shattered now, Chen Guocai's long-held wish had become a mental block. He wished he could swallow up Xiang Chen, who had ruined his good fortune.

Feeling Chen Guocai's malice, Xiang Chen didn't dare to leave Chen Guoliang or Old Lady Chen's side all day. He couldn't even trust Cai Zhen.

Being a little tail for a day unexpectedly gained Xiang Chen a lot of favor from both Old Lady Chen and Chen Guoliang. Their attitudes towards him had improved significantly, especially Chen Guoliang, whose gaze at Xiang Chen was now even more satisfied.

At noon, Xiang Chen ate until he was about seventy percent full. Along with the snacks that Old Lady Chen gave him, it was the first time he had felt full since he crossed over to this world. The thought alone made him feel extremely bitter.

After midday, avoiding the peak of the sun, Chen Guoliang took his wife and children back to the city.

Back at home, all four of Chen's daughters were there. Cai Zhen had left some steamed buns for them in advance, but there was no porridge, so they had to make do with just water.

Chen Fen and Chen Fang were sitting on small stools doing their homework. Chen Fen was in the sixth grade this year and would be taking the entrance exam in a few months. Her academic performance was good, as Cai Zhen had always been strict with her from a young age, emphasizing the importance of studying. As a result, Chen Fen was determined to attend high school and later enter the mechanical factory.

Cai Zhen went back to the house to tidy up and told Chen Guoliang that she was going home to ask about Xiang Chen's household registration. Chen Guoliang nodded, and she left directly.
