In her past life, Zhao Zhenzhen's military officer husband made a mistake, dying and bringing shame to the entire family.
To atone for her husband's sins, Zhao Zhenzhen did the hardes...
"Fine, fine! I wanted to give you a little something extra, and you're not even appreciating it. If it were your older sister, she'd probably scrape the ground off the whole house." Zhou Jin rolled her eyes at Zhou Shengnan and said irritably.
“My older sister’s brain has been eaten by a dog. All she knows is how to take advantage of her own family and try to please her husband’s family. I’m not going to be like her. She’s an idiot,” Zhou Shengnan said with a grin.
“Ruonan was quite clever when she was little, I really don’t know how she grew up to be so wicked. It’s also my fault, I was too busy with work before, I didn’t have time to teach you at all,” Zhou Jin sighed.
“Dad, don’t take the blame upon yourself. You don’t have time. Mom taught me and my older sister and brother the same thing. My older brother and I are both fine. The reason my older sister turned out like this is because of her husband. The Wang family is all about profit, but my older sister was blind to their true nature and treated them like treasures.” Zhou Shengnan said, pursing her lips.
“Shengnan! If I’m gone one day, you have to keep a close eye on your older sister! Don’t worry about anything else, just make sure she gets some food if the Wang family kicks her out. Make sure she doesn’t starve.” Zhou Jin’s expression was somewhat forlorn.
“Dad, you will live to be a hundred. With you here, the Wang family will not dare to mistreat our eldest sister.” Zhou Shengnan smiled, avoiding the question Zhou Jin had raised.
It wasn't that Zhou Shengnan lacked sisterly affection. Rather, she knew Zhou Ruonan's nature.
If one day Zhou Ruonan really falls on hard times, and Zhou Shengnan goes to help her, Zhou Ruonan might even get angry at Zhou Shengnan, thinking that Zhou Shengnan is just there to laugh at her.
Zhou Shengnan would not do anything that was thankless and exhausting.
So what if they're sisters?
She didn't want to help and then be blamed; she didn't owe Zhou Ruonan anything.
Seeing Zhou Shengnan's reaction, Zhou Jin didn't continue the conversation.
Sheng Nan is right. As long as he lives, the Wang family will not dare to bully Zhou Ruonan.
For the sake of his child, he should try to live a few more years!
Before dinner, Zhou Shengnan saw Zhou Bingchen and his family of four coming downstairs, so she hurried over and introduced herself, saying, "Bingchen, Zhenzhu, I am Zhou Shengnan, your aunt. This is your uncle, Xiao Limin."
"Hello, Auntie! Hello, Uncle!" Zhao Zhenzhu and Zhou Bingchen greeted them obediently.
"Hello, Auntie, Auntie..." Zhou Jiakai and Zhou Yunyun hurriedly followed, but found they didn't know what to call Xiao Limin. The two siblings turned their gazes to Zhao Zhenzhu at the same time.
"Uncle-in-law," Zhao Zhenzhu prompted.
"Hello, Uncle-in-law!" the two children called out loudly after being prompted.
"Good, good, they're all good kids." Xiao Limin nodded with a smile.
Zhou Shengnan smiled and handed the two red envelopes in her hand to Zhou Jiakai and Zhou Yunyun respectively, saying, "Pearl! This is a gift from Limin and me to the children. I didn't know you were here today, so I wasn't prepared. I'll make up for your and Bingchen's gifts next time."
"Aunt, there's no need to be so polite," Zhao Zhenzhu said, declining the offer.
After witnessing Zhou Ruonan's unreasonable behavior, Zhao Zhenzhu thought that Zhou Shengnan was similar to Zhou Ruonan, both looking down on them with their noses in the air.
Zhao Zhenzhu had originally prepared gifts for the Zhou family, but she didn't give them to them.
Zhao Zhenzhu has no habit of trying to please others.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Shengnan and Zhou Ruonan are completely different.
Zhou Shengnan treated Zhao Zhenzhu's family very warmly.
Zhao Zhenzhu could tell that Zhou Shengnan's enthusiasm was genuine and not feigned.
Zhao Zhenzhu felt a little embarrassed.
If she had known Zhou Shengnan would give her a gift, she should have brought it downstairs when she came down for dinner.
Seeing Zhao Zhenzhu decline, Zhou Jiakai and Zhou Yunyun hid behind Zhao Zhenzhu and refused to take the red envelope from Zhou Shengnan's hand.
“I am an elder, and you cannot refuse a gift from an elder. You should take the gifts I give you and not object.” Zhou Shengnan forcefully stuffed the red envelopes into the pockets of the two children.
"Alright! Thank you then, Auntie." Zhao Zhenzhu had no choice but to let the children accept the gifts.
In any case, Zhao Zhenzhu won't let Zhou Shengnan suffer a loss.
Zhao Zhenzhu can find a way to return the gift later.
Relatives are like this! It's all about giving and receiving, and everyone has their own sense of right and wrong, which is why the relationship gets better and better.
Zhou Ruonan was displeased when she saw this.
Zhou Shengnan gave the children red envelopes, but she didn't. Wouldn't that make her lose face?
"Zhou Shengnan, are you trying to slap me in the face? Why didn't you discuss giving me the red envelope beforehand?" Zhou Ruonan pulled her sister aside and asked with a gloomy face.
"Why should I discuss giving you a red envelope? I've already discussed it with my husband, Xiao Limin. We're not even related," Zhou Shengnan rolled her eyes and said irritably.
"How much did you give me? I'll wrap two more later too," Zhou Ruonan said through gritted teeth.
"One hundred each." Zhou Shengnan originally didn't want to pay attention, but after thinking about it, she figured it would be good to let her older sister, this miser, bleed a little, so she told the truth.
"What? Zhou Shengnan, are you not going to live a normal life? Your brother-in-law is really reckless, letting you do whatever you want." Zhou Ruonan said, her face flushed.
If you give one hundred to each child, that's two hundred!
My younger sister and brother-in-law's combined monthly salary is only about 150 yuan.
Has Zhou Shengnan gone mad?
"Give it if you want, don't give it if you don't want to! Whether I give a lot or a little is none of your business." Zhou Shengnan was unhappy, broke free from Zhou Ruonan's grasp, and turned to leave.
Hmph!
Zhou Ruonan is an incorrigible pig.
Zhou Shengnan gave up on reforming Zhou Ruonan.
After Zhou Shengnan left, Wang Jiansheng came over and asked, "Ruonan, what's wrong?"
“Zhou Shengnan has gone mad. She gave those two brats a hundred-yuan red envelope each. I’m not going to go crazy like that,” Zhou Ruonan muttered.
Wang Jiansheng's facial muscles twitched. He was also very dissatisfied with Zhou Shengnan and her husband.
Zhou Shengnan and her family don't even have a son, so they can spend money recklessly.
Their family is in dire straits. Wang Lei will need to get married and have children in the future, so even if they have money, they can't afford to spend it recklessly.
But now, Zhou Shengnan gave Zhou Jiakai and Zhou Yunyun red envelopes in front of them. If they don't give them any, the old man will definitely be unhappy if he finds out.
“Ruonan, why don’t you give the two kids a red envelope later? It wouldn’t be right if our little sister and her husband gave one and we didn’t,” Wang Jiansheng said.
"Two hundred? No way. If we give that much, will our family starve next month?" Zhou Ruonan couldn't bear to part with it.
"You can give me whatever you think is appropriate! Our family isn't well-off, unlike my younger sister and her family who have no burdens," Wang Jiansheng said quietly.
"Then... I'll just give each of them... ten yuan," Zhou Ruonan muttered.
Wang Jiansheng remained silent and took a step away, clearly acquiescing.
Zhao Zhenzhu and Zhou Bingchen exchanged a glance.
Both Zhao Zhenzhu and her husband had good hearing. They heard what Zhou Ruonan and her husband said.
I never expected Wang Jiansheng to be this kind of person.
They're concerned with both appearances and substance, and they lack any sense of responsibility.
