Chapter 279 We'd be losing money hand over fist!

Liu Lanzhi paused for a moment, hesitated, and looked at her father-in-law. Seeing that he did not object, she knelt back down.

I couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking how much my in-laws spoiled our little one. Luckily, he's well-behaved and sensible, and hasn't been spoiled.

After visiting the grave, the son and daughter-in-law began cleaning up, while also making sure the embers had been extinguished.

If a wildfire is accidentally started, that would be terrible.

"Children! Come here, come here!"

Ma Xiulian beckoned the children to come closer, took out banknotes wrapped in red cloth from her pocket, opened them, and began to give the children lucky money.

Everyone, including Gu Tingyun, gave two cents.

"Thank you, Grandma."

Chen Erbao jumped up and down excitedly with two cents in his hand, then stretched out his hand towards Zhou Zhaodi, "Mom, give me a red envelope!"

"You brat, you're only so eager when you want money. Go ask your dad for it!"

Seeing his greedy appearance, Zhou Zhaodi couldn't help but laugh and scold him.

Chen Erbao quickly rolled over, saying, "Dad, hurry up and give me the red envelope!"

Chen Jiandang took out the New Year's money he had prepared in advance from his pocket and gave each child five cents.

Then Chen Jianguo and Chen Jianye also gave five cents as New Year's money.

It's not a lot of money, just something auspicious and festive.

After all, they hadn't separated their family yet, and the money they earned each year was given directly to their mother by the commune, along with money for their brothers to buy clothes. So, they didn't have much savings.

Chen Jianmin, who had earned some savings during his apprenticeship, gave each of them two cents.

So each of the Chen family's children received a total of 55 cents, which made them extremely happy.

After all, these days you can buy two candies for a penny.

The boys discussed buying firecrackers to play with, while the girls planned to buy candy and hair ties.

Helian Jiao, who had no concept of money, didn't feel anything and casually stuffed it into her pocket.

Young Master Gu, who was not short of money, didn't care about a few cents. He also had a 20-yuan red envelope in his pocket for his little hamster.

But his mother said she would give it to him secretly when there were fewer people around.

Li Chunhua put Jinbao's money into her pocket, thinking she would save it for him to use when he got married in the future.

Then she reached out and took Chen Xiaobao's red envelope, coaxing him, "Xiaobao, give the money to Mom, and Mom will buy you candy next time she goes to town."

I was afraid he might accidentally drop it if he held it himself.

Chen Xiaobao, however, wasn't having any of it and quickly ran ahead a bit: "No, I can go buy candy myself!"

At the beginning of each year, vendors would come with baskets to buy small firecrackers and snacks, and the vendors would turn a blind eye to these things.

Li Chunhua, holding her youngest son, didn't feel comfortable chasing after them, so she turned to look at Sanni.

Sanni immediately stuffed the red envelope into her pocket, clutching it like a thief: "I want to keep it myself too!"

What an ungrateful wretch!

Li Chunhua was furious!

This is not like the usual one or two cents, but a full fifty-five cents!

Moreover, she had already given out several cents worth of red envelopes. If she couldn't even get her money back, she would be at a huge loss!

Even in front of her in-laws, she only dared to secretly glare at them.

You brat, don't think your grandma can protect you forever!

Once we split up the family property, I'll have plenty of ways to deal with you!

Zhao Mei and Zhou Zhaodi also felt that these children had a lot of money, but they decided to let them have it since it was the New Year.

"I'm going back."

Ma Xiulian gathered the unused paper money and incense into a basket, carried the basket in one hand, and led her beloved granddaughter down the slope with the other.
