“Oh, so you're Leonard.”
Upon hearing the name, the young man immediately burst into laughter.
“According to the generational hierarchy in our clan, I should address you as Uncle Leonard. Uncle Leonard, my name is Odin Wilson. You can simply call me Odin.”
Upon seeing Odin calling him “Uncle Leonard,” he was instantly greatly satisfied.
He laughed heartily at Odin. “Very good, very good! You're truly worthy of being a descendant of our Wilson family. Jennifer, where are the monetary gifts you prepared for relatives? Bring them out and distribute them.”
Before they arrived, Jennifer and Leonard had already agreed on the plan. Each of Jennifer's peers would receive five hundred, those younger than her would get one hundred, and all of Jennifer's elders would receive a thousand.
So Jennifer gave Jane a signal, and the latter immediately took out a stack of monetary gifts, each containing five hundred.
Odin would definitely be thrilled to receive a monetary gift.
In fact, the reason he was sweet-talking was because he got his eye on receiving Leonard's monetary gift.
The Wilson family had really developed rapidly over these years, and their progress was quite impressive.
Therefore, many members of the Wilson family who were living abroad had started to return to Wilson Village over the years.
After all, everyone cared about saving face.
No one wanted to return to their roots only to be looked down upon, so everyone was quite generous when they returned there.
“Odin, since today is the Wilson family's banquet, why aren't you attending?”
Odin smiled at Leonard and replied, “Uncle Leonard, there's something you may not know. Our Wilson Village covers a large area. Apart from this intersection, we also have wineries, farms, plantations, and other Wilson family businesses that need looking after. So, only those of your seniority, like you, Uncle Leonard, are eligible to attend the family banquet. We younger ones are fine with just having a meal in the evening.”
Upon hearing Odin's words, Leonard nodded to show that he understood.
