Chapter 67 67 I did it on purpose, so what?
Jiang Lili didn't accept the red envelope, but just looked at him puzzledly. Peers usually don't give each other red envelopes, so she didn't quite understand what he meant.
Jiang Qitong on the other end didn't have so many concerns. She took the red envelope and started to say thank you.
Fortunately, Jiang Aiguo quickly saved Jiang Lili from embarrassment. He came out with two red envelopes and stuffed one into each of the two brothers' pockets: "New Year's money, no one is allowed to refuse."
Lu Jiaze was amused by his tone, then took the red envelope and said with a smile, "Okay, thank you, Uncle Jiang."
Lu Hongzhe did not refuse either. He also smiled and said thank you, then looked at Jiang Lili: "Look, you are not allowed to refuse. This is what Uncle Jiang said." He started a business this year and made some money, so not only the two sisters got some, but Lu Jiaze also got some.
"Thank you, Brother Hongzhe." Jiang Lili hesitated for a moment and did not refuse.
After the two left, Jiang Qitong couldn't wait to open the red envelope and exclaimed, "Wow, that's a lot of money, Sister Lili."
"Really?" Jiang Lili said as she started to open the red envelopes. Inside were six red envelopes of ten yuan and sixty yuan. He was really generous. You know, Ji Yushu, who used to call himself a good father, only gave a twenty yuan red envelope during the Chinese New Year.
"Sister Lili, this is a lot, right?" Although Jiang Qitong is usually naughty, she was still a little overwhelmed when she received so much money, and she quickly looked at Jiang Lili.
Jiang Lili rubbed her head and said gently, "Leave it to your mother, they will make arrangements." This is also a kind of human interaction, and the adults should always know about it.
"Okay." Jiang Qitong nodded. Originally, the little girl planned to keep half of the money in the red envelope to buy firecrackers and give the other half to Jiang Lili. Grandpa said that a poor family means a rich road ahead, so it would definitely be right to bring a little more money.
Because Jiang Yulan was busy, she missed the opportunity to give red envelopes to the Lu brothers. She glanced at the sixty yuan in Jiang Lili's hand and couldn't help but sigh: "I heard from your Aunt Li before that Hongzhe started his own business to make money. He is quite like a brother and hasn't forgotten you little ones." Now that he gave sixty yuan red envelopes to both children, the red envelopes she had prepared before would no longer be enough.
"I didn't expect him to give us New Year's money." Jiang Lili really didn't expect it. To be fair, Lu Hongzhe was indeed a competent brother. She knew Jiang Yulan wanted to return the gift and planned to give her the red envelope, but she refused: "Aren't we going to Quan City in a few days? It's good to bring some extra money. If you see something you want, just buy it."
"Take it. I have money here. Have you forgotten that the royalties are all with me?" At the end of the year, Cheng Yuntian calculated the dividends and distributed them to them. Although it was not a small amount, it was used to pay back the money for buying a house, and Jiang Yulan had almost no extra money.
"All's fine." Jiang Yulan didn't continue to refuse her. Now they were mother and daughter, and there was no difference between you and me.
"Well, what about grandpa and the others tonight?" Jiang Lili glanced at the three old men who had already switched to playing chess in the living room, and felt a little headache.
"Let your uncle accompany them tonight, and let your aunt and Tongtong go back with us later." Jiang Yulan made the decision directly.
"Good idea." Jiang Lili's eyes lit up when she heard that.

Both brothers came here by bike. When they came out of the cotton mill, Lu Jiaze was still holding the red envelope given to him by Jiang Aiguo. Before coming here, Lu Hongzhe had already given him a red envelope. He didn't expect that he also prepared one for the Jiang sisters. In comparison, he seemed even more useless. He couldn't compare with Lu Hongzhe at home, and he couldn't compare with Jiang Lili outside. Lu Jiaze was a little depressed for a while.
Seeing that he hadn't moved, Lu Hongzhe looked at him puzzledly: "What's wrong?"
Lu Jiaze shook his head, his tone somewhat dejected: "Nothing, I just feel useless compared to you guys." Lu Jiaze didn't know when he began to be unwilling to continue to be inferior to Jiang Lili, so he couldn't help but compare himself with them every time. He knew it was not good, but he just couldn't help it.
"Why do you want to belittle yourself? Your dream is to become a pilot. There's no need to waste your time on these things. What you need to maintain next is not only your grades, but also your physical fitness. Jiaze, you just made a different decision from us. There's no need to deny yourself now." Lu Hongzhe's tone was gentle. He thought, perhaps the joke made by the two parents back then to tie the two of them together so early was not a good thing, at least for Lu Jiaze.
Seeing that he was still silent, Lu Hongzhe couldn't help but raise his voice: "Lu Jiaze, don't forget that you are a high school student now. What is your first priority?"
He could sense the anger in his tone, and Lu Jiaze couldn't help but sigh. He didn't know what was wrong with him lately, always comparing himself to them. He figured it was probably because every time people around him praised them, he longed for the same praise. He glanced down at the red envelope in his hand and sighed. His brother was right. Maintaining his grades and physical fitness was the most important thing for him right now. Becoming a pilot had been his dream since childhood, and although he had wavered before, he remained steadfast.
The next day was the first day of the Lunar New Year. There were many customs on this day, such as not using scissors, not sweeping the floor, and not pouring water outside. What bothered her the most was still not being able to sleep in. Early in the morning, she and Jiang Qitong were woken up.
Jiang Qitong was full of energy. She started jumping around the room soon after she woke up. Jiang Lili hid in the quilt and refused to get up. The little girl ran to the bed and handed her clothes: "Sister Lili, get up quickly. Auntie said you can't sleep in today. If you sleep in today, you will have to sleep in for the whole year. Get up quickly."
The little girl kept chattering away. Jiang Lili gave her an unpleasant look and said, "I know. I'll get up right away. So, can you just shut up?"
"Of course, I'll wait for you." The little girl said and sat on the edge of the bed waiting for her to get dressed.
"Go out and wait for me. I need to change." Jiang Lili quickly rushed her out the door. Before closing it, she could hear Jiang Yulan asking her if she had gotten up yet. Jiang Lili stretched her limbs, then quickly got out of bed and put on her clothes. When she came out of the room, Jiang Yulan was just coming out of the kitchen. She yawned and casually asked, "Where's my aunt?"
"I'll go back and make some sobering soup for the old men. I don't know how late they made such a fuss last night." Jiang Yulan said, shaking her head.
"It's rare for them to be happy." Jiang Lili thought there was nothing wrong with this. The only regret was that she had never been successful in staying up all night to celebrate the New Year in the past ten years.
"That's true. I haven't seen your grandpa so happy for a long time. Come and have breakfast quickly. After that, we'll come over to see him." Jiang Yulan said as she invited the two of them to come over for breakfast.
"I'm going to go back and change into new clothes later. Sister Lili, why aren't you wearing new clothes?" Jiang Qitong asked curiously. It is a tradition to wear new clothes on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
"Change it before we go out." Jiang Lili said and glanced at Jiang Yulan. She didn't change either.
After dinner, the mother and daughter changed into new clothes and took Jiang Qitong to the next building. As soon as the little girl entered the house, she started clamoring for new clothes. The house was very quiet, with only Zhou Qingfen sitting on the sofa. Jiang Lili was a little puzzled: "Aunt, where are they?"
"He's sleeping. He said he won't go to bed until almost three o'clock." Zhou Qingfen didn't expect the old men to stay awake for so long.
"Then let's go to the temple fair later?" Jiang Lili suggested.
"Okay, I've cooked some hangover soup and porridge for them. Just heat them up when your uncle gets up." Zhou Qingfen nodded in agreement with her suggestion.
Twenty minutes later, the four of them set off for the temple fair. Jiang Qitong was showing off her new clothes the whole way, the two adults were discussing the Lu family coming over for dinner, and Jiang Lili was lost in thought. This was the first New Year she'd spent without Ji Yushu, and it was so wonderful. Although they hadn't been around the ironworks on weekdays, they still had to go back on holidays like the Lunar New Year to avoid getting stabbed in the back. Although they didn't stay there for long, it always made people unhappy. Now, they didn't have to go back there for the New Year, which was great.
The aunt and sister-in-law walking in front of her were also discussing this matter. Zhou Qingfen sounded a little worried: "If Lili doesn't go, will they take advantage of this to make trouble?"
"They don't care about Lili at all now. The third brother and his wife are divorced, and now Ye Qiuju is pregnant. If they dare to take advantage of the situation, I will embarrass their whole family again." Jiang Yulan knew that Lili didn't like that side, so she naturally wouldn't force her to do something she didn't like. Now she is not afraid of a fight with the Ji family.
"That's right. Given the Ji family's current reputation, we're not afraid if they dare to make trouble. But why didn't the third brother Ji get divorced and marry Ye Qiuju's cousin?" Zhou Qingfen was a little curious.
"It seems that the woman cannot be contacted now. Yao Yan took all the family money when she divorced. How could she marry the third brother?" Jiang Yulan shook her head and hoped that Yao Yan could keep her promise and support Ji Lanlan in the college entrance examination.
"Then Ji Lao San should stop looking for trouble with Ye Qiuju." Zhou Qingfen smiled with a gloating look on her face.
"Who knows." Jiang Yulan doesn't care about the Ji family's affairs at all now.
*
Unlike the harmonious atmosphere at Jiangjia, the Ji family was indeed a mess. Ji Yushu was filial at heart. Although he had moved out before, after Chen Guilan's soft words, although he did not move back, his complaints about the old couple subsided a lot, so he took Ji Mingyue and her daughter back to the iron factory to celebrate the New Year.
After the previous rumors spread, everyone looked down on the Ji family, especially Ye Qiuju. Not only did she squeeze out the Jiang mother and daughter, but she also let her cousin destroy Ji Lao San's marriage. She was simply too vicious.
Arriving at the ironworks, Ji Wenwu looked at Ye Qiuju with hatred. With Yao Yan and Ji Lanlan gone, all the people he could command were gone. How could he not hate them? It was her and Ji Mingyue who caused his parents' divorce. Now the only people in the family who treated him well were his grandparents. So he knew that if he attacked Ye Qiuju's children, they would definitely be unhappy, so he targeted Ji Mingyue.
When Ji Yumo saw Ye Qiuju, she couldn't help but ask her, "Second sister-in-law, do you really not know where Zhenzhen is?"
"I really don't know. She didn't tell me." Ye Qiuju shook her head and sighed that Song Zhenzhen was very clever. She left to hook up with other men, but still made Ji Yumo miss her.
"Then where would she go? She came to Yuncheng alone, with no one to rely on, and no one knows where she went?" Ji Yumo's face was full of worry. When Song Zhenzhen left, she left him a letter saying that she had thought it through and she couldn't destroy his family and make his two children hate him, so she left and asked him not to look for her.
Ji Yumo was deeply moved when she saw the letter. Even when Yao Yan came to her house and beat her, he still thought about her like this. How could he not like such a kind person?
Seeing this, Ji Mingyue couldn't help but sigh. If Ye Qiuju had the ability of Song Zhenzhen, she would have grabbed Ji Yushu's money long ago. Why did they have to live such a miserable life?
After the reunion dinner, Chen Guilan instructed Ji Mingyue to clean up the dishes. Ji Mingyue followed her into the kitchen reluctantly. Ji Wenwu followed her with his eyes. When she came out of the kitchen, he threw the firecrackers in his hand at her feet. Ji Mingyue staggered in fright. She looked at Ji Wenwu with displeasure: "Don't you have eyes? Throwing firecrackers at my feet?"
"Yes, I did it on purpose. What can you do about it?" After saying that, Ji Wenwu did not restrain himself, but continued to throw firecrackers at her. Ji Mingyue was surrounded by firecrackers that kept popping. Ji Wenwu took advantage of the chaos to push her, causing her to fall directly from the stairs.
