"Grandma, where are my parents' New Year's money? My mom said she wanted me to take it back for her."
Xiao Man'er blinked her eyes and stretched out her hand towards Yue Jiuyue, palm facing up.
Now, not only Yue Jiuyue, who didn't want to give it to them in the first place, but even Lin Chaonan and Lin Chaobei felt that their elder brother and sister-in-law were wrong. If it weren't for Liu Shi being in the room, the two brothers probably would have kicked the door down.
"Little girl, if your parents want New Year's money, they'll have to come and wish your grandma a Happy New Year first!"
"Yes, little girl, come on, let's go wake up your parents. It's the New Year, who can sleep in? We still have to go out to pay New Year's visits in a little while. Do you want to go, little girl?"
Fearing that Yue Jiuyue would be upset, the two brothers quickly interrupted with a sentence each. Lin Chaobei even picked up Xiaoman'er and went to knock on the door at the back.
Lin Chaonan didn't go; he still had to cook. After a moment of silence, perhaps silently organizing his thoughts, he offered Yue Jiuyue a rare word of advice:
"Mom, my eldest brother must be sleepy. My sister-in-law didn't wake him up because she felt sorry for him..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Chaobei's angry roar came from behind.
"Lin Chaodong! It's the Lunar New Year, and instead of going to wish our mother a Happy New Year, you send your little girl to ask for lucky money for you. Are you even human?!"
After saying that, Lin Chaobei kicked the door hard.
He carried Xiaoman over, and before he even got close, he heard his older brother and his wife talking inside. Both of them were awake. He didn't say anything because his sister-in-law was pregnant, but how could his own son, his older brother, act like this? Did he even deserve to be his mother's son?
The door opened, and Lin Chaodong smiled awkwardly. He closed the door and was about to take Xiaoman'er in his arms, hoping to use his daughter to ease the awkwardness.
Lin Chaobei didn't stop him, but just stared blankly at Lin Chaodong, waiting for Lin Chaodong's explanation.
"Well, your sister-in-law is pregnant, so I have to take good care of her. The baby in her belly is the eldest grandson of our Lin family!"
Yue Jiuyue and Lin Chaonan heard Lin Chaodong's words clearly.
so what?
Since Liu is pregnant, Lin Chaodong no longer needs to pay New Year's respects to his mother.
Whether it was Liu's instigation or Lin Chaodong's genuine intention, Yue Jiuyue had no desire to have Lin Chaodong as her son anymore.
Yue Jiuyue couldn't understand why Lin Chaodong was such a dutiful son when she transmigrated, but became such a dutiful husband as soon as Liu Shi got pregnant.
She didn't mind that Lin Chaodong felt sorry for Liu Shi, but today was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it was only right and proper for Lin Chaodong, her son, to wish her a Happy New Year.
It only takes a few minutes to pay a New Year's visit, right? Why couldn't you just spend the time with Madam Liu after that? Why did it have to turn into this mess?
Moreover, Lin Chaodong's change was so drastic that Yue Jiuyue even suspected he had been cursed.
"Fourth brother!"
Seeing that Lin Chaobei was about to go berserk, Lin Chaonan was afraid that he would accidentally hurt Xiaoman'er, so he quickly stepped forward to stop him.
"Third brother, look at him! He didn't even go to wish Mother a Happy New Year, and he's still making excuses here. Is he still our eldest brother?!"
Lin Chaobei was almost in tears, crying for his beloved elder brother, how could he have turned into a scoundrel! An unfilial son!
Lin Chaonan glanced at Yue Jiuyue furtively, then tugged at Lin Chaobei's sleeve, signaling him to stop talking.
But Lin Chaobei was currently grieving and didn't notice Lin Chaonan's little actions. Just as he was about to continue criticizing Lin Chaodong, he saw Lin Chaodong with a smile that looked even uglier than crying, bowing to his back.
