章 82: A Surprising Appraisal

Chapter 82

As Alex entered the house, his curiosity piqued, carrying his luggage along with Jamu, who seemed to have recovered from his earlier annoyance.

To his surprise, the house was not as crowded as he had expected. Instead, only his fourth uncle and aunt were present, engaged in a conversation with a stranger. Lily, noticing her husband's arrival with his hands full, hurried over to assist.

"Hello, Uncle, have you been here for a long time? I apologize for my tardiness; I just returned and picked up a few things from the market," Alex said politely, addressing his uncle.

"No worries, Russell, we just arrived ourselves. And by the way, this is my friend, Weber. He's an agriculture lecturer," Alex's fourth uncle introduced the person beside him.

"Hello, Mr. Weber, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Russell, Uncle Matthias' nephew," Alex greeted, extending his hand for a handshake.
