After winning the multi-million dollar jackpot, Sophia couldn't wait to return to her hometown to share the good news with her parents.

Jade kept saying it was the blessing of their ancestors and dragged Sophia to pay respects at their graves.

As soon as Sophia placed the Maotai liquor in front of the tombstone, her mother, Jade Chen, started wailing and crying hysterically.

Sophia was startled by her mother's sudden emotional outburst and didn't understand what was happening.

Jade wiped her tears and choked out, "Oh, Sophia, you offer Maotai to your grandparents, but your father can't even bear to drink erguotou at home."

After saying that, she clutched the paper car model used for the ritual and refused to let go.

"Look, even our ancestors have luxury cars to drive, but your brother can't even afford a lousy motorcycle.

Why do you think that is?"

Sophia immediately sensed her mother's hint.

Given the special occasion, Sophia had no choice but to suppress her anger and console her mother.

"Mom, don't be upset.

If there's anything the family needs, I'll take care of it.

Don't cry here, okay?"

Jade's tears instantly turned into a smile.

"Sophia, Mom always knew you were the most conscientious one! So, swear in front of our ancestors that you'll buy your brother a car as soon as you return to the city, okay?"

The village cemetery was close to the fields, and Jade's voice was loud.

The surrounding villagers heard the commotion, put down their work, and came over to watch the excitement.

Judging by the scene, Jade was determined to embarrass Sophia in front of outsiders.

Sophia glanced at her brother, Alex Sue, who was peeking through the crowd, and sighed to herself.

From childhood, her parents had always favored this brother.

Sophia was nothing more than a tool for them to earn money and support the family.

Sophia's face turned red with embarrassment, and she said coldly, "Mom, do you think it's appropriate to discuss this here?"

But Jade refused to give up and said innocently, "Sophia, isn't it quite common to make a wish and take an oath in front of our ancestors? Hurry up and give me your word!"

Sophia suddenly realized that her mother had always been dismissive of ancestral rituals.

This time, she insisted on thanking the ancestors for their luck, and when Sophia came to pay respects, she had to come along too.

It was most likely because she had the intention to extort money from Sophia.

At the time, as soon as she heard that Sophia had won the lottery jackpot, she immediately changed her attitude.

She gleefully inquired about Sophia's well-being.

Even her most spoiled brother, Alex Sue, was ignored by her.

Sophia had thought her mother was happy for her, but it turned out to be all for her good-for-nothing brother!

In this situation, forcing Sophia to make a statement about giving money, she couldn't publicly disown her family.

Sophia glanced at her father.

He rubbed his nose, avoiding Sophia's gaze.

Clearly, Jade had already discussed this matter with him beforehand.

Sophia was so angry that her teeth itched, and she asked her mother, "Didn't Alex just buy a second-hand motorcycle?"

Jade was displeased and said with a cold laugh, "Can that thing be called a vehicle? That piece of junk, he's too embarrassed to ride it out to see people in the village.

It's humiliating."

As she spoke, she pulled her husband aside and gave him a resentful look.

Henry frowned, "Sophia, how can a motorcycle compare to a car? Are you trying to fool us country bumpkins?"

Jade sighed and put on an understanding appearance.

"Sophia, if you don't want to buy a new one, Mom won't make things difficult for you.

Didn't you just buy a car yourself? We don't mind that second-hand car.

Just give that one to your brother to use."

She said it reluctantly enough.

The "second-hand ca."

Jade mentioned was a sports car that Sophia had just bought for two million yuan half a month ago.

Sophia had only driven it a few times herself.

Jade was truly "not pick."

indeed.

Sophia let out a cold laugh.

"Mom, you know very well the road conditions in our village.

Alex wants to drive a sports car on the village roads?"

"Does he want to scrape the undercarriage until it sparks like fireworks?"
