Since they couldn't reach a conclusion, Chen Zhaodi and Huang Qinqin went back first.
Because Huang Qinqin had a good impression of the Wang family, she whispered to Xu Junhui after they got back, "Junhui, why don't we take out the braised pork and eat it together?"
Although Zhang Yumei said it was specially prepared for her, Huang Qinqin felt that she wanted to share it with others, so she should ask Xu Junhui first.
Based on her understanding of Xu Junhui, she knew he wouldn't refuse.
Asking Xu Junhui's opinion would show that she values him, without affecting her in any way.
Why not?
Xu Junhui did not disappoint her, generously saying, "Sure, I'll take it inside and let them heat it up."
"Give the braised pork to Mom and let her take it inside."
"good."
Everything went very smoothly for Huang Qinqin, and the two families enjoyed a happy meal and chat.
In contrast, Xu Weiguo and his family were in a much worse situation because Lin Chunyan and Grandma Xu had gone to the Xu family's house to cause trouble again.
......
After Huang Qinqin and the others set off, Xu Hongxia kept pestering Zhang Yumei, saying she wanted to go shopping at the department store with Chen Mai and the others.
"Mom~ I finally have a holiday, I want to take my cousins out for a bit~"
Xu Hongxia stayed close to Zhang Yumei, chattering on and on.
Zhang Yumei got annoyed by her nagging: "If you want to go shopping, then go. I'm not stopping you."
"If you're going, then go. Stop nagging me."
Xu Hongxia knew, of course, that Zhang Yumei hadn't stopped her. This wasn't just a stroll; it couldn't just be a stroll.
Xu Weiguo, who was forced to help Zhang Yumei wind yarn, immediately saw through Xu Hongxia's intentions.
"You didn't stop her, but you didn't give her any money either. She just wants some pocket money."
Xu Hongxia nodded vigorously, then gave Zhang Yumei a fawning shoulder massage: "Mom, we can't just be shopping, right?"
"I can let it go, but what if my cousins want to buy some food and we don't have any money? That would be so awkward."
Chen Liang naively thought that Xu Hongxia was genuinely worried that they wanted to eat but didn't have the money to buy it.
I was about to say that they had pocket money, but before I could even open my mouth, Chen Mai covered my mouth.
Chen Mai whispered in his ear, "Don't talk, your cousin is trying to earn some pocket money."
Although Chen Liang didn't understand why he had to fight for pocket money, he still obediently nodded.
While enjoying Xu Hongxia's massage, Zhang Yumei said, "Chen Mai and the others have their own pocket money, why do you need to worry about them?"
Previously, Chen Mai and Chen Liang did not have any pocket money because Xu Fang and the others lived in the village and basically did not need any money.
Or rather, back in the village, they didn't earn much money in a year; the adults didn't have any money, let alone the children.
However, ever since Chen Ming got a job and the Chen brothers went back to school, Xu Fang started giving them pocket money.
It wasn't much, just five cents a month for pocket money for each person.
However, Chen Mai and his friends are used to being frugal, and since they have all kinds of food at home now, they haven't used their allowance yet.
"Mom~"
Xu Hongxia was puzzled. She thought it would be better to go to school during the holidays. If she went to school, Zhang Yumei would give her a dime every day.
But once you're on holiday, you have nothing left.
Zhang Yumei thought about it and realized that Xu Hongxia had indeed been much more obedient lately, and she hadn't given her much pocket money.
I was planning to give her a few cents to go out for a stroll.
However, she felt in her pockets and found that she had no change, so she said to Xu Weiguo, "Honey, do you have any change on you?"
"If you have any, give Hongxia 50 cents first, and I'll pay you back after I buy groceries tomorrow."
Before Xu Weiguo could even answer, Xu Hongxia pouted and said, "Mom, can you just give me a dollar and I'll pay you back fifty cents later?!"
"Dad hides all his money in the soles of his shoes, they stink..."
"What! What's wrong with hiding money in shoe soles? Does hiding money in shoe soles make it worthless?"
Xu Weiguo felt that he couldn't keep this girl anymore; she even refused to pay him!
"Dad, don't you know you have smelly feet?"
Xu Hongxia exposed Xu Weiguo's past, which she had already experienced before.
Although Xu Hongxia made money from the pocket money given to her by Xu Weiguo, she was also forced to accept strange looks.
Previously, that was extra "black income," which Xu Hongxia tolerated. But now that this was done openly, she wanted to refuse money that had a "tainted" smell!
"Whose feet smell bad!"
Xu Weiguo disagreed, saying he washes his feet every day, you know!
Your feet stink!
"I didn't! You're lying!"
You have it!
"I..."
"alright!"
Zhang Yumei couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted them directly: "Hongxia, how can you be so disrespectful to your elders? How can you talk about your father like that?"
Even if it's true, you can't say it in front of so many people; it's so hurtful.
To avoid a fight at home, Zhang Yumei gave Xu Hongxia one yuan directly.
Then he reminded her, "Remember to pay me back fifty cents, okay?"
"Okay~"
As soon as Xu Hongxia got her pocket money, she immediately dragged Chen Mai and Chen Liang outside.
After the younger children left, Zhang Yumei said to Xu Weiguo, "And you, why do you always put money in the soles of your shoes?"
"I'm just used to it..."
Xu Weiguo was once 'wealthy'.
Sometimes when he ran errands for Zhang Yumei, he would receive a small fee for doing so.
Unfortunately, Zhang Yumei frequently found his hidden stash of money. Later, he discovered that only the money he kept under his shoes was safe from being taken.
He then began hiding all the money in the soles of his shoes.
Zhang Yumei really felt that Xu Weiguo was getting worse and worse; he used to be a handsome young man.
Now?
Tsk, she doesn't even want to talk about it anymore.
"Mom, Mom, Mom!"
Xu Hongxia, who had just walked out, immediately ran back.
"Are you trying to call my soul back? Didn't you say you were going out to play? Why are you back?"
Zhang Yumei saw Xu Hongxia running over in a panic, holding one of her younger brothers in each hand.
He frowned and asked, "Who did you run into? You seem so flustered. Could it be that your classmate is here again?"
"No, no! It's my third aunt and grandma!"
Xu Hongxia had only been out for a short while when she saw Lin Chunyan and Grandma Xu walking towards their house.
She quickly pulled Chen Mai and the others back, thinking she should hurry home and tell them.
Zhang Yumei was really annoyed: "Why are you here again? Didn't you get enough of a beating last time?"
Then, staring dangerously at Xu Weiguo, he said unhappily, "You'd better shut your mouth in a minute!"
"If you dare to hold me back, or speak up for your mother, you can get out of here!"
"Did you hear me?!"
Xu Weiguo nodded rapidly, as if afraid that if he was slow to respond, he would be kicked out.
