Chapter 118 Red Envelope
"The New Year's money will be given tomorrow."
"Yes, I didn't say I wanted New Year's money now. I want proof fee now to prove that my father still cares about me." I tilted my head and looked at him.
My father said helplessly, "You are just a little robber." As he said that, he opened the package. I took a peek and saw two red envelopes inside, one thick and one thin. He first put his hand on the thin one, paused, and then took the thick one.
"Here, this is the certification fee. Are you satisfied?" He put the red envelope in my hand. I squeezed it and found it was about two centimeters thick. Even if it was less than 20,000, it should be close to 20,000.
I don't know when Deng Sisi came out of the bathroom. She watched the interaction between us father and daughter silently from the side. Her face was gloomy and there was jealousy in her eyes.
I guess these were originally red envelopes prepared for tomorrow, one for me and one for Deng Sisi. Now that I have taken one, my dad should have to give me another one.
My mom whispered to my dad, "You gave Mengmeng a red envelope, but why didn't Sisi get any?"
My dad looked at my mom strangely and said, "Tomorrow is New Year's Day. I'll give Sisi her New Year's money tomorrow."
My mother still wanted to fight for Deng Sisi: "You also gave Mengmeng one just now..."
I immediately interjected, "That red envelope was my dad's compensation for not visiting me when he went to City A. Why, Deng Sisi wants to compete with me on this?"
If her father didn't visit her at school, she should have asked her uncle for the red envelope. Why did she need my father to compensate her?
My father gave her an admiring look. This little money was nothing, but it was really annoying that she wanted to compare her treatment with mine in everything.
My mother wanted to say something, but was stopped by Deng Sisi, who said first, "Sister Mengmeng, don't misunderstand me, I don't mean to ask my uncle for a red envelope.
My aunt just felt bad for me because I was going to school in the city without my parents around to love me."
My father frowned when he heard this, and my mother's eyes were filled with heartache. I said coldly, "Other people go to school and live in school. You live in my house and still complain that you don't have your parents around to love you. Then why don't you live back home?
It's vacation now, and I haven't seen you go back to see your parents. Are we stopping your parents from seeing you?
I have been studying alone in City A for more than three years, and my parents have never felt sorry for me and come to City A to see me.
When you were in school, you stayed at my house every day, had good food and drinks, and someone served you. And my parents still had to care about you?
Aren't we the same species? Which of your species is more precious?"
My mom was speechless after being scolded by me. Deng Sisi's face turned red. My dad tried to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, Shuyao, look at you. You always favor Sisi. Even your own daughter is jealous. I just said that you don't care enough about Mengmeng."
My mother glared at me resentfully, muttering, "How can Sisi compare to Mengmeng? Mengmeng's parents have always been by her side since she was a child. She has everything she wants, and everything she uses is the best. What's there to be sad about?"
"Didn't Deng Sisi's parents live with her since she was a child? Did her aunt and uncle abuse her?" I asked, pretending to be confused. "Mom, you're so upset for Sisi, I thought she was your biological daughter."
I'm not just saying this out of anger, I really feel this way, and it's getting stronger and stronger.
"When I was a child, you always gave my things to Deng Sisi and asked me to use the pocket money I saved with great difficulty to buy her gifts. At that time, I wondered why my mother liked others but not me?" I asked my mother seriously.
