Fortunately, He Yushen brought back a lot of things.
It's all food.
There were cookies, potato chips, and some bread and pastries, all from Sheng Yueqing's factory.
When the He family's nephews and nieces saw so much delicious food, they all rushed to grab it.
He Yushen told them to stand in line and each person to have three servings.
Not a single one dared to steal it.
These nephews of the He family had been scolded by him before, but now they dare not contradict him to his face.
They obediently lined up in line.
Sheng Yueqing gave each of them three large gift boxes.
Then, in front of his sisters-in-law, he gave each child a red envelope.
The number isn't large, but it includes both nephews and nieces.
When the sisters-in-law of the He family saw this, their expressions improved considerably.
"Sixth brother, sixth sister-in-law is back?"
He Yushen hummed in agreement, "I'm back for the New Year."
Seeing that he had sent out so many things, Old Mrs. He hurriedly reached out her hand, "Where's mine?"
He Yushen naturally brought it for her.
“Here, you and Dad each have five gift packages, all of them food and drinks. You can eat them as snacks when you don’t feel like cooking at home.”
Old Man He was quite happy to see his son bringing him New Year's gifts.
"Oh, you even have cigarettes and alcohol?"
He Yu smiled and said, "Yes, I knew you liked it, so my wife bought it for you specially."
Sheng Yueqing nodded, "My brothers have some too."
The He brothers were also happy.
These things must have cost a lot of money, so it seems that Lao Liu and his wife really made money.
After packing up the things, Old Mrs. He habitually reached into He Yushen's pocket, wanting a red envelope.
He Yushen removed her hand. "What's the rush? Shouldn't the brothers give red envelopes to our parents first?"
“Come one by one, there’s no way the sixth one came first.”
The He brothers were caught off guard and choked up.
Actually, they hadn't prepared any red envelopes at all.
If we didn't prepare in previous years, how could we possibly prepare this year?
Besides, the living expenses for Grandma He have increased to seven yuan a month for each family.
Old Mrs. He eats and drinks at home, so why would she need a red envelope?
When He Yushen saw that there was no red envelope, he refused to give one.
"My brothers didn't give me any, so to be fair I won't either."
So that once he has money, he won't have to pay for everything himself.
Old Mrs. He was furious, "You've made money now, what's wrong with giving me a little red envelope?"
He Yushen said shamelessly, "Anyway, I'll treat everyone equally. If my brothers give, I'll give too."
“If my brothers won’t give it to me, I won’t give it to me either.”
"As you said, all six sons are treasures, so naturally they should all be treated the same."
Grandma He patted him and said, "How can that be the same? How much do your brothers earn in a year? You earn more, so what's wrong with giving me a few hundred yuan for the New Year?"
In the past, He Yushen would not listen to, ask about, or look at these kinds of things.
Now she's like a slippery fox, saying, "That won't do. I'm a jealous person. If my brothers haven't made any sacrifices, I don't want to either."
"Even if I earn millions, if my brothers contribute ten dollars, I will only contribute ten dollars."
"Even if you publicize it, I will still say the same thing."
Anyway, everyone has to be the same.
Old Mrs. He was furious. "You!"
That's utterly absurd.
"Other people's sons earn more, so naturally they give more. Why is it different for you?"
He Yushen shrugged, "It just won't work."
"Anyway, you weren't good to me when I was a child, so it's not bad that I'm willing to be filial to you like my brothers are now."
"If you continue to show favoritism, I won't come back."
Old Mrs. He was furious.
There's nothing we can do about him.
My son used to be honest and simple-minded, and easy to fool.
Moreover, he doesn't hide money; she just cries and the money comes.
Nowadays, it's even more slippery than freshly fried peanut oil; you can't handle it at all.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the He family gave her a meaningful look.
Only then did Old Lady He remember the important matter.
"Fine, if you don't want to give me a red envelope, then don't."
"But you need to sort out the housing issue."
“Look at our house. The room where your dad and I live is drafty and leaky.”
"Can you fix it for us?"
He Yushen glanced around at his older brother and sister-in-law in the room.
They all looked away guiltily.
It seems they reached some kind of agreement with Old Mother He.
He wasn't stupid. He said, "I remember my old house was much worse than this one. Didn't you tell me back then that rural people should just live wherever they want, why be so fussy?"
“I lived here for over ten years, and your house was perfectly fine. Why are you repairing it?”
Old Mrs. He is going to be driven to her death by this unfilial son.
"Your father and I are getting old. The house is drafty. Aren't we cold when we sleep?"
"Or do you just want your dad and me to die sooner?"
She started crying as she spoke.
This time she didn't wail; she just took the handkerchief, and tears were falling intermittently.
Even Old Man He was moved to tears.
Sheng Yueqing noticed that their acting skills had actually improved this time.
It seems the whole family discussed it together and decided to use a self-inflicted injury as a ploy.
Sheng Yueqing looked at He Yushen, and He Yushen looked at her as well.
He Yushen curled his lip, his eyes seeming to say, 'I've been watching this kind of acting for over a decade; I'm sick of it.'
It's no longer effective to use this trick to fool him.
He Yushen sat down, sighed, and looked as if he was about to compromise.
Even Old Mrs. He stopped to look at him.
"Sixth son, I've been sorry for you all these years, but with so many people in the family, I can't take care of all the children."
"Besides, you want to get married, and Mom spent so much money to get you married. Your brothers don't have that. And you still say Mom doesn't love you?"
"If you ask me, your wife's dowry is the highest among all the sisters-in-law in the family, so it's only right that she shows some respect to your mother."
