I am not just a tycoon

After Li Fuqing and his family left, grandma's house returned to the bustling atmosphere it used to have, now with an added touch of pride and satisfaction.

Look, that's our son (great nephew)!

But having just seen Shen Yuan's "arrogant" behavior, compared with his casual demeanor now, it was still a bit hard to get used to.

Part of it was because Shen Yuan was still a student when he last came home, and now he was a wealthy man—the change had happened too fast.

Moreover, the rich people they saw on TV were always so refined and cultured when they spoke and made no difference between them and their great nephew, who was just as he was in their memory.

He would occasionally add some wood to the stove, tease the big yellow dog from time to time, and tease his little sister Shen Xuan just as fiercely as before.

"This doesn't seem like the behavior of a rich person; he hasn't changed at all."

But if you were to say there's no change, the two luxury cars at the doorway, and the "friend" who looks like a star that Shen Yuan brought back, were constant reminders of their great nephew's transformation.

"Old Shen, our son has truly grown up. You have no idea how worried I was just now."

Ms. Li whispered to Shen Heping.

Shen Heping laughed heartily, "I wasn't the least bit worried. If my son can earn so much money, dealing with that kind of situation is a piece of cake."

"Oh?"

Shen Heping said confidently, "It's all thanks to the way I raised him. From a young age, I always emphasized the importance of daring to think and act, and to be courageous yet meticulous, so I wasn't worried about it at all."

"Heh."

Li Hongjuan chuckled, "When big brother went to get the hoe just now, you think I didn't see you quietly picking up a red brick from the ground, then silently throwing it away when you saw it wasn't needed."

"..."

Shen Heping's expression twisted, and he gave a sheepish smile to cover his embarrassment.

Before long, the delivery person arrived. It was the massage chair that Shen Yuan had asked Ji Ya to buy.

Nowadays, in many rural areas, sending and receiving packages was very convenient. Jinzhou Town wasn't remote. They had placed the order on the online platform Dongzi Pingtai and had it delivered straight to their home.

The delivery person placed the large box in the main hall. Shen Yuan and his two uncles opened the box, removed the transparent dust cover, and revealed the massage chair inside.

The grandma was led into the hall by Li Hongjuan. After listening to everyone's explanation of what a massage chair does, she hurriedly waved her hand, "I don't need such a thing, no thank you."

Shen Yuan smiled, "Grandma, it's already bought, and we can't return it. Give it a try; it's really comfortable."

"Can't return it?"

Grandma had never used the internet in her life and didn't understand the rules of online shopping, so she believed it right away.

"Yes, so if you don't use it, we can only give it away to others or throw it away."

Shen Yuan continued with a smile.

"But I don't know how to use it."

Grandma said, feeling embarrassed.

"I'll teach you once and you'll know how."

Shen Yuan helped grandma lie down on the massage chair and pressed the switch, "From now on, you just press this button to get a massage, it's really simple."

Immediately after, the massage chair began to operate.

At first, grandma was a bit uncomfortable, but everything requires some getting used to. After a while, a relaxed expression appeared on her face.

Uncle Li Baocai whispered, "Yuan, how much does this massage chair cost?"

"I don't know."

Shen Yuan looked at Ji Ya, "How much did it cost?"

Ji Ya responded, "Over 20,000 yuan."

"That expensive?"

Li Baocai was taken aback. He thought a few hundred yuan for a chair was already a luxury, let alone one with a massage function that was so pricey.

In reality, there are cheap massage chairs as well as expensive ones; the one that Ji Ya chose was just a little more high-end.

After grandma had her turn with the massage chair, the two aunts wanted to try it as well. Meanwhile, Shen Yuan pulled his uncle Li Baocai to the side, "Uncle, how much is the budget for your house construction?"

Li Baocai replied without hesitation, "500,000 yuan. Labor costs have increased quite a bit. A few years ago, it would have been around 300,000 to 400,000 yuan to build a house."

To Shen Yuan, 500,000 yuan might not be that much, but for Uncle Li Baocai, it was likely his life savings. He had raised two children and also taken care of grandma, spending hardly anything on himself.

"That's it, Uncle. I'll cover the cost of building the house. I'll find someone to do the design, and since you work in construction, you'll be in charge of that."

Grandma had two sons and a daughter. Like Ms. Li, the second uncle lived outside too, only the eldest uncle had always stayed in the countryside, so grandma had always lived with him.

Once the new house was built, grandma naturally would move in. Shen Yuan and Ms. Li rarely had a chance to show their filial piety, and since the house was to be built, it made sense for them to pay for it.

"How could that be appropriate?"

Though Li Baocai was honest, he still had a clear understanding of the situation, "You don't live here often; there's no reason for you to pay for it, and it's not like I don't have the money."

"Uncle, you're nearly 60. If you spend all your money on building a house, won't you have none left for your old age?"

Shen Yuan patted Li Baocai's shoulder, "Keep that money for yourself and grandma as a safety net. Leave the house construction costs to me. I'm planning to increase the budget to 3 million yuan. If we're going to build, let's build it well."

Li Baocai's pupils shrank at that, "3 million?"

"Yes."

"Right, big brother, we'll handle the cost of building the house. We seldom have the time to take care of mom at home, and you've been looking after her all along,"

Li Hongjuan walked over and said, "We don't have many opportunities to show our filial piety, so we can only contribute financially. You'll still need to put in the effort to build it, after all."

"This…"

Li Baocai was so moved that he could hardly speak. He was already grateful enough that his great nephew had helped solve Li Fuqing's family issue, and now he was offering to cover the construction costs as well.
