"Mom, don't be angry," Lian Yiyi gently helped Mrs. Lian smooth her back. "As long as my daughter marries well in the future, she will be your support. No one will dare to bully you."

Mrs. Lian's eyes lit up and she stopped objecting: "Yes, you are right. Find a chance and have a good talk with him and put the marriage on the agenda."

Lian Yiyi nodded: "I will."

Mrs. Lian Er looked at Mrs. Lian and the other two chatting and laughing, and her heart tightened, thinking that maybe they were planning some trick to deal with her again.

However, when she thought about Mrs. Lian mocking Lian Jiang, she couldn't swallow it. She no longer tried to please Mrs. Lian as before and just turned around and left.

"Even if she kneels down and begs me in the future, I won't pay any attention to her!" Mrs. Lian said gritting her teeth.

"I'll listen to my mother." Lian Yiyi said.

After being locked up for several days, Gu Huai and Xie Yunjiao were finally able to come out. Doudou and Lian Jin were waiting for them at the door. When they saw them come out, they rushed over.

Gu Huai picked them all up, one in each hand.

"Let's go back to the house!" said Gu Huai.

Doudou chuckled: "Dad, your beard is really prickly when it grows long."

Gu Huai even deliberately rubbed Doudou's face with his chin: "Is it prickly?"

"It's itchy."

Lian Jin watched and couldn't help laughing along.

Lian Yan watched from afar and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

"Dad." Xie Yunjiao saw Lian Yan from afar and hurriedly greeted him.

Doudou and the others' smiles disappeared. They were all afraid of this serious grandpa.

Lian Yan's eyes suddenly darkened when he saw the changes on the children's faces.

"Lian Jin, Dou Dou, what do I usually teach you? What should you do when you meet your elders?" Xie Yunjiao patted the two children on the shoulders and said.

Doudou and Lian Jin reluctantly stepped down from Gu Huai's embrace, saluted Lian Yan and said:

"Happy New Year, Grandfather."

"Happy New Year, Grandfather."

Lian Yan nodded with satisfaction, gave each of the two children a red envelope and said, "I wanted to give it to you last night, but you went back to your room after dinner, so it's not too late to give it to you now."

Originally, Lian Yan was an old-fashioned person who always did things step by step and did not allow any mistakes, but this time he made concessions for them.

The two children happily accepted the red envelopes and said thank you.

"This is yours." Lian Yan also gave Gu Huai and Xie Yunjiao a red envelope each.

"Dad, we already have babies, right?" Xie Yunjiao said with a smile.

"Yes, as long as they are from the Lian family," said Lian Yan.

Xie Yunjiao said some nice words and gladly accepted the red envelope.

Lian Yan has said so. If I don’t take his red envelope, wouldn’t that mean I’m admitting that I’m not a member of the Lian family?

After returning home, Xie Yunjiao opened the red envelope and found that the red envelope did not contain any small change, but a golden peanut, which looked to weigh at least five taels.

"Why is mother a golden peanut?" Doudou asked curiously.

Lian Yan was very thoughtful in preparing this New Year's money. During the previous Chinese New Year, Xie Yunjiao only gave Doudou some small change as New Year's money, but Doudou was already very happy.

"Peanuts, peanuts, longevity nuts, symbolize longevity and health, as well as many children and grandchildren." Xie Yunjiao said.

"Husband, we have to give Dad a better New Year's gift." Xie Yunjiao said.

Fortunately, she had prepared it before the New Year, and no matter what Lian Yan gave her, she would give it to him.

But she didn't expect that her idea coincided with Lian Yan's.

But the peanuts she gave were not as small as Lian Yan's, but one weighed eight taels, a little bigger than Lian Yan's.

Xie Yunjiao gave Lian Yan and Old Lady Lian two gold peanuts weighing eight taels each, and gave five taels of silver peanuts to the rest of the family.

Mrs. Lian Er naturally smiled happily and even took Xie Yunjiao aside and said a lot of good things to her.

Even the second wife's emotions are written all over her face. People who are greedy and timid are the easiest to deal with.

The most difficult ones to deal with were the scheming Lian Yiyi and her daughter. However, Xie Yunjiao did not take them seriously. She just gave them the New Year's money and did not say anything else.

Mrs. Lian and Mrs. Lian's second wife also gave Lian Jin and Dou Dou New Year's money, but Mrs. Lian's second wife only gave 800 coins, which made the whole purse bulge out and look very rich.

"Fortunately, they only had two children, and we have three, otherwise it would be a big loss." Mrs. Lian Er said.

"Mom, what the sister-in-law gave us were silver peanuts." Lian Jiang reminded.

"I don't care whether she gives me gold peanuts or silver peanuts, I'm counting heads," said Mrs. Lian Er.

Lian Jiang felt that what Mrs. Lian Er did was totally wrong, but even if he had some objections in his heart, he didn't dare to say it to Mrs. Lian Er.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. We cannot kill any living creatures and everyone in the family must eat vegetarian food. This has been the case for years.

However, yesterday, because Xie Yunjiao and Gu Huai were put in solitary confinement and were unable to have the reunion dinner, even the old lady was unhappy when she woke up early in the morning.

"Who eats vegetarian food for the reunion dinner?" The old lady was just nagging. She didn't dare to break the rules of her ancestors.

"Madam, the young lady asks you to have dinner in the main hall." The servant of the mansion came over to invite Madam Lian.

Old Madam Lian was reluctantly supported by Nanny Jin and came to the main hall. At this time, Madam Lian and Second Madam Lian also came out.

Everyone was stunned when they saw the food on the table.

"Who prepared these things? You don't care about the rules of our ancestors. You don't want to stay in this family anymore, right?" Mrs. Lian said angrily.

She has always been in charge of all matters in the mansion. Now that something like this has happened, if even the old lady blames her, she will probably be punished.

"It was prepared by the young lady." The servant said with his neck shrunk.

Just then, Xie Yunjiao came out with the last dish, which was Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. The Buddha Jumps Over the Wall in the jar was still boiling and gurgling, and the whole room was filled with the tempting aroma.

Mrs. Lian Er couldn't help swallowing her saliva. She had never smelled such an enticing aroma of meat.

But I’m afraid that all the food on the table cannot be eaten, which is really a pity.

"Everyone, please take a seat and have your meal." Xie Yunjiao said with a smile.

"Ms. Xie, do you know what mistake you have made? You don't even care about the rules of our ancestors, right? Or are you tired of living in this house and don't want to stay here anymore?" Mrs. Lian shouted at Xie Yunjiao.

"The rule of our ancestors?" Xie Yunjiao had just put down the jar and was about to reply when she was suddenly slapped in the face.

Mrs. Lian smiled complacently, thinking that this time she couldn't just take revenge or complain?

"My wife!"

"stop!"

Xie Yunjiao quickly caught the slap from Mrs. Lian and said coldly, "What do you want to do?"
