The blind lady was the second one to receive red envelopes. She accepted a stack of red envelopes from Jin Chao. Everyone received one, and the ones for Sanbao were thicker.
Then it was Zhou's father's turn to give out red envelopes. This year, his daughter gave him two stacks of new bills as pocket money. He put two hundred yuan in each red envelope, and Sanbao's was one thousand yuan.
Ling Quan talked to Zhou's father and decided not to cheat the host. He gave a red envelope of 100 yuan, and Sanbao naturally gave 1,000 yuan.
Jiang Weihua is the youngest among the elders, and it is time for him to get rich. After all, he is married and has different ideas. He knows to inform his eldest brother-in-law and then gives him a red envelope as big as his.
Guo Xuehua, her mother, and her two daughters were at a loss when they received the red envelopes. Did they also receive red envelopes?
When Xu Tong and his wife received the red envelope, they thanked them very politely. The host family gave them New Year's benefits, and they accepted them.
Zhou Nian's hands were shaking as she held five red envelopes. She was not short of money at the moment. She had 50,000 yuan in compensation, which was New Year's money. She had never received any red envelopes wrapped in red envelopes. When her adoptive mother was in a good mood, she would give her a few cents, or a dime. When she was in a bad mood, she would slap her on the face during the New Year.
Zhou Kai received five red envelopes and was grinning from ear to ear. He thought he could make a fortune with the New Year's money.
Jian Jiankang couldn't stand this elder not acting like an elder, and he often used his status as an elder to pressure them. The two looked at each other and walked to the elder, "Uncle Kai, it's your turn to give out red envelopes."
"Huh? Why?"
"Because you are the elder, and because you accepted the red envelope."
Jin Chao took one look and immediately put away the red envelope he had received and took out the one he had prepared. "Here, I should be the oldest in this generation, so I'll give it out first."
There are exactly ten people of the younger generation, including Guo Jia and her sisters.
After Jin Chao finished sending, Zhou Niao sent it, followed by Zhu Hang, Zhou Hua, Ling Ran, Lu Zhaochong, Xiong Mingli and Xiao Tan.
It was Zhou Kai's turn. Everyone looked at him. He grabbed his five red envelopes and looked at Xiao Tan, who he thought was the poorest. "Brother Tan, how much did you give out?"
Xiao Tan held up a finger.
"Ten dollars?"
Xiao Tan shook his head, "One hundred."
"ah?"
He quickly opened his red envelopes. There were five red envelopes, three of which were worth 200 yuan, and two of which were worth 100 yuan, only 800 yuan left. What should he do?
Otherwise, the Guo Jia sisters will each get fifty?
But everyone was looking at him. Everyone gave Sanbao a bigger red envelope, while the rest of the people got the same amount. What should he do? "Cousin!"
"Are you stupid? You're the youngest, not yet an adult, and you want to be the elder and give out red envelopes. So, give less than the others! 50 each."
Zhou Kai immediately became happy. Yes! He gave everyone 50 yuan and still had some left over. "Cousin, can you help me change the change?"
"good!"
A stack of new 50-yuan notes appeared in his hand. He exchanged them for 500 yuan and took the other 300 yuan. "I'll keep 200 yuan for you. See if you can keep the money. If not, next time, I'll keep all of it for you."
As he said that, he returned a hundred-dollar bill to him.
"good!"
It's not bad to be able to get a hundred yuan to manage it myself. Three hundred yuan is enough for a month's food expenses, and my cousin didn't take all of it.
When Zhou Kai sent it to Guo Jia and her sister, Guo Xuehua stopped him from accepting it. "Zhou Kai, those elders and people of your generation who get paid gave you New Year's money, and Jia Jia and the others accepted it. You are still a minor, and this is your own New Year's money. We can't accept it."
"Are you looking down on me?"
"Sister Guo, let Jiajia and the others continue! He has already finished the work."
Miss Zhou Xiang spoke, and Guo Xuehua did not refuse.
After giving out the New Year’s money, everyone can watch TV, play cards, or make dumplings.
Zhou Xiang went upstairs with his mother and mother-in-law to give the three babies a bath.
Not long after, Zhou Nian ran up and said, "Zhou Xiang, the Wang family of Shencheng has published a notice on TV severing ties with Wang Ting and her family of three from the Huaixian Department Store."
Zhou Xiang paused, then dressed the child as if nothing had happened. "It has nothing to do with me. I don't need to pay attention to the affairs of the Wang and Ma families."
Ma family, after seeing this notice, Wang Ting immediately called Shencheng. Wang Yuandong hung up as soon as he heard her voice. Later, he simply didn't answer the phone and let it keep ringing.
Wang Ting called her elder brother again, but he hung up after two rings.
She panicked. She relied on the power of her mother's family. Even if her mother's family had fallen, as long as her mother's family recognized her, she would still be the eldest daughter of a family in Shencheng.
If she is not recognized, she will have no maternal home and will be a complete Huai County person.
Ma Shasha, who had returned to the Tong family for the New Year, also saw the notice. Tong's mother scoffed, "To be able to get your parents to sever ties with you so publicly is not something that ordinary people can do. It's only those who have brought countless disasters to your parents' family and left them feeling disheartened. It's truly admirable!"
Ma Shasha covered her face with a scarf and looked at her husband Tong Lei. After Tong Lei recovered, he became silent and could not speak to her more than ten sentences a day, and every sentence he said was just "um" or "oh".
This frightened her. Did Tong Lei dislike the blisters on her face? Or was he indifferent to her because the Wang family had lost power?
In the past, she enjoyed the treatment of a queen. Whenever there was something wrong, Tong Lei would immediately do it for her. Even if her chopsticks fell, he would help pick them up immediately. Now, he no longer sees her in his eyes.
This made her very scared. In the past, she relied on her grandfather's power and was not afraid that Tong Lei would divorce her. Even after the divorce, she could still remarry based on her appearance and the fact that her grandfather was from Shencheng. Now, she had neither of these.
Tong Lei's medicine cost 500,000 yuan, but what about hers? Would Zhou Xiang be willing to sell it to her for 500,000 yuan? Where would she get 500,000 yuan?
Zhou Kai was finally able to set off fireworks and played with a group of younger generations at the gate.
After playing for a while, Jiankang went back to make dumplings. It was getting dark outside, and his two brothers went home, and Yuanyuan also wanted to go home.
Yuanyuan went home, and Yuanyuan's followers Laoxiao also went home, as did Guo Yao and Guo Mei. Only Zhou Kai was left playing alone.
When Zhou Xiang saw everyone coming in, he told Zhou Nian to go play with the fireworks, "Go ahead! You can still play while you're single. After you get married and have kids, you won't be interested anymore. At most, you can play with the kids."
"Zhou Xiang!"
"What's the matter? Am I not telling the truth?"
Zhou Nian simply stood up. She would rather go set off fireworks with Zhou Kai than chat with Zhou Xiang. They talked about parenting and motherhood all day long, which she didn't understand at all!
Lu Zhaochong immediately stood up and followed him out. Zhou Kai, who was having a great time alone, was stared at innocently and returned to the yard. Humph! You still think he's bright? Is he brighter than fireworks?
Lu Zhaochong dug out fireworks from two cartons and lit six of them in one go. Then he walked over to Zhou Nian, who was watching the fireworks, and took out a red envelope and handed it to her, "Here's your New Year's money."
Zhou Nian stepped back, "I don't want to. We are equals. After today, I will be 24 years old. I will not be a child like Zhou Kai."
"I know. Aren't I happy for you? This is your first year away from the Tang family."
The fireworks had gone out and it was getting dark outside. Zhou Nian felt that this stalemate was not a good idea. "Okay! I'll accept it this time, but you're not allowed to give it to me again."
"good!"
