"Mom, this is too expensive." Chen Hongping didn't know that Chen Xiaoying had bought gold. When she suddenly saw her take out two golden bracelets, she was immediately shocked.
"It's not expensive, and it's not enough. The children are all 18 years old now, which means I haven't given them New Year's money in 18 years. This time it's a one-time payment." Chen Xiaoying said, and she also gave each of them a red envelope: "Go buy something you want."
Sisters Hu Xiaoying and Hu Xiaoyan were both stunned.
From childhood to adulthood, except for their biological mother Chen Hongping, no one cared about them, and even looked down on them and bullied them. This time they met their biological grandmother.
Grandma is really good to them.
"Thank you, grandma." The two sisters hurriedly expressed their gratitude.
The two of them were not stupid. They had been reading people's faces since they were young and knew clearly that if someone wanted to be nice to someone else, they would find a way to give them something, either by helping with work or giving them delicious food.
This is a good thing for them, not just lip service with nothing in reality.
Just like their blind grandmother Qian Liuni, she would hide delicious food and secretly give it to their mentally retarded uncle. The people from the Cao family also gave the New Year's money and delicious food to other children in their family. They had no share at all and were told to get away. They had nothing.
Li Hongli looked at it and gnashed her teeth in anger. Her mother had already given her a gold bracelet, so why did she give her a red envelope in addition?
Li Hongxia had already given them: "Auntie's salary is low, so the money is not much. You can use it to buy delicious food."
Li Hongli saw that Li Hongxia had given it all, and she also had it in her hands. She couldn't put it back in her pocket, so she could only smile and say: "Look how good your grandma and your aunt are to you. Second aunt didn't give much either, so don't despise it."
"We don't mind, we don't mind, thank you, second aunt." Hu Xiaoying and Hu Xiaoyan said hurriedly.
When everyone falls asleep.
Sisters Hu Xiaoying and Hu Xiaoyan were so excited that they couldn't sleep.
Hu Xiaoyan couldn't help but put the gold bracelet into her mouth and bit it: "Sister, do you think this is real?"
Hu Xiaoying said: "They gave us the box as well, and there's an identification certificate inside, so it should be authentic."
Look at the name on the red box. This is the largest gold shop in Kaiyuan City. Many families buy the three kinds of gold there when they get married.
It should be true.
Besides, if it was fake, they would have found out immediately if they had just taken the items to the store and asked.
How are we going to get along in the future?
Hu Xiaoyan weighed the gold bracelet and felt it was heavy. Others said that gold carries weight. "Sister, grandma is so good to us, so good that even my second aunt is jealous of us. By the way, that girl named Li Yutong, will she also feel that her grandma is partial to us?"
Hu Xiaoying thought of Li Yutong. When they first met, she was very warm and friendly to them. She called their mother "Aunt" very affectionately and didn't seem to be pretending at all.
"It's okay, I don't think so." Hu Xiaoying thought more: "I don't think grandma is biased. Now that she has given us these things, she must have given them to her privately."
This was also her guess.
"I think so." said Hu Xiaoyan.
After all, the two sisters are not familiar with their grandmother Chen Xiaoying, but they are happy for the three of them who have always been helpless. Their grandmother must feel sorry for them.
Look, not only did he give them two gold bracelets and a red envelope of two hundred yuan, he also bought a house for their mother.
Speaking of houses, both of them became excited and couldn't help but guess what the house they hadn't seen yet would look like.
Early the next morning, when Chen Xiaoying and Chen Hongping got up because they were tired after a long day, Li Hongli, Hu Xiaoying and Hu Xiaoyan were still sleeping.
Children who are taken care of by Li Hongli usually cannot sleep well at night and cannot get up in the morning.
The two sisters were exhausted after taking the train for three consecutive days.
"Wait until they get up, then go get them some food."
Chen Xiaoying said.
At this time, the fourth son Li Honggang and his wife also learned that Chen Hongping's two daughters had returned.
"Shall we go?" Yang Xiaohui asked Li Honggang.
Li Honggang said: "My mother asked us to go."
Yang Xiaohui said, "If we go, we must give a gift. The eldest and second brothers are not here, and the third brother got into trouble outside. We are the only ones who go, and we are the only ones who have to pay the gift. Thank you."
Yang Xiaohui thought simply. She would definitely not be close to her elder sister-in-law in the future. She heard that her adoptive parents were extremely poor, one was lame and the other was blind, and her adopted brothers were both mentally retarded. Coming from such a family, what kind of glory could she get?
To be honest, she's not as good as Li Hongyan.
At least Li Hongyan is smart. She gave birth to three sons and can help find solutions when there are problems at home. When Li Hongli was bullied by the mistress, she can help to stand up for her.
What’s this about Chen Hongping?
Yang Xiaohui had no feelings for Chen Hongping and was only thinking about whether there would be any benefits from associating with her.
As for Li Honggang, he has many brothers and sisters, so he doesn't think it's a big deal whether he has one more or one less elder sister.
"Mom asked us to go, so it would be bad if we don't go. My eldest sister will think we don't care about her." He mainly didn't want to make his biological mother Chen Xiaoying angry.
Yang Xiaohui had no choice but to say, "Okay, okay, let's go."
She thought that at most she could give a red envelope of ten yuan, nothing else. This was the financial situation of her family, and her mother-in-law knew it.
The two of them took Li Yumeng with them. At this time, Zhao Xueyan also took Li Yujie with her. Li Yutong had greeted her mother Liu Lanxiang last night. At ten o'clock, her mother Liu Lanxiang also came, accompanied by Wang Xiaoqin, who never had her own opinions and was willing to be closer to her eldest sister-in-law. She brought her son Li Chaochao.
The whole family was seated.
Sisters Hu Xiaoying and Hu Xiaoyan had just finished their meal. It was the first time for them to face so many relatives.
I called all the aunts in the circle and received a bunch of red envelopes.
"Xiaoyu, take them upstairs to play. The adults have something to talk about." Chen Xiaoying said to Li Yutong.
Now that we have met, the next step is to discuss how to take care of Li Pingwang, the old man with hemiplegia.
Yang Xiaohui rolled her eyes and secretly kicked Li Honggang, signaling him with her eyes to keep quiet.
This is the advantage of marrying the younger son: if anything happens, the older brothers and sisters will be the first to step forward.
Li Honggang certainly didn't want to take care of Li Pingwang. Who is born to like suffering?
"You guys discuss it yourselves. I won't get involved." Chen Xiaoying said, and sat aside to listen.
A group of people, you look at me, I look at you.
Li Yutong brought a group of children, while Li Yujie and the others played by themselves. She played Landlord with Li Yuhan, Hu Xiaoying and Hu Xiaoyan.
Neither of them knew how to do it, but the rules of this game were very simple and they understood it after two rounds.
Downstairs, no one said anything and the atmosphere was tense.
It's clear that no one wants to take care of Li Pingwang.
Liu Lanxiang has an impatient temper and is straightforward: "I have been serving you for several days, cooking meat and eggs every day, and I have never treated Dad unfairly, but Dad still thinks I am not serving him well. You can do whatever you want."
Her mother, Old Lady Liu, was right. Her parents-in-law raised seven children, and it was not her turn as a daughter-in-law to take the lead.
