If it weren't for the New Year, Guo Jia would have wanted to slap him in the face for daring to say such nonsense. He grabbed the two red envelopes with resentment and said, "From now on, quit smoking and drinking, and stop spending money recklessly. I will record all your debts. When you have enough, you must pay it back. After this record, if there are any more, I will chop off your hands and see if you will borrow money from others again."
"I won't dare anymore. I'll listen to my wife." Zhou Kai quickly surrendered.
Guo Jia glared at him, and Zhou Kai immediately changed his words, "I listen to my future wife."
Guo Jia, unable to bear it any longer, raised his hand and grabbed his ear, "Come on, write down all the foreign debts. Don't try to cheat me. When I pay you back, I will ask the other party clearly about the time and reason for borrowing the money."
"It hurts, it hurts," Zhou Kai yelled in pain, "Future daughter-in-law, please be gentle."
Guo Jia raised his foot and kicked him on the calf, "Change it, it will be gentle."
"No, no, no," Zhou Kai waved his hands repeatedly, "I wouldn't trade it for any amount of money. I just love my Jia Jia."
This shameless man who dared to say all kinds of nonsense and love words made Guo Jia angry and amused, but he was helpless.
Zhou Xiang couldn't help laughing as she watched the two of them get along. Was her cousin a masochist? However, Zhou Kai was the one she had no regrets about in her life.
Ling Ran hugged his wife and asked, "What about Zhou Kai's parents?"
"I don't care," Zhou Xiang shook his head. "That's Zhou Kai's own business. Even if he can't make the decision, I don't care. If I wasn't worried about Zhou Kai getting me into trouble, I wouldn't help that couple reform their son!"
Around nine o'clock, Jiang Weifang and her husband came over. When they heard that Long Xin hadn't gotten up yet, they wanted to go get their daughter out of bed, but her older sister stopped them and said, "It's Chinese New Year. Let the children sleep in more. They got up early yesterday."
"Big sister," Jiang Weifang pointed at the children playing in the glass house, "didn't those kids get up early yesterday? Mom will come over soon and start nagging again. I'll go and wake her up."
Lu Jun quickly stood up and said, "Mom, I'll go call her and help Cheng Cheng get dressed and washed."
"Yeah! Tell her to hurry up."
"good."
Zhou Xiang came over to wish her aunt a happy new year, but Jiang Weifang hugged her niece and said, "Think about it, it's the Jiang family that has wronged you."
Feeling his aunt's sadness, Zhou Xiang patted her on the back and comforted her: "Don't think too much. I have done it with a clear conscience. I am at peace."
Yes! The niece had a clear conscience, but the Jiang family had a guilty conscience and would live in guilt from now on. Jiang Weifang let go of her niece and asked, "Where is your grandmother's house?"
"I rented it to her. There's a contract."
Jiang Weifang was relieved. She didn't dare ask her mother, for she was afraid that it was her mother who wanted it, and she was even more afraid that it would whet her brother's appetite.
While we were talking in the living room, Jiang Weihua and his family of three arrived. Since his niece had gone back to the Ling family for the New Year, she would normally go back to her parents' home on the second day of the New Year. When he called his eldest sister to wish her a happy New Year yesterday, he mentioned coming over today.
"Sister, brother-in-law, miss, sister-in-law, happy new year!"
"Aunt, uncle, aunt, uncle, happy new year and good health!"
The family of three exchanged New Year greetings before sitting down to talk.
Jiang Weifang then realized that her younger brother hadn't spent the New Year in Beijing again. "Little brother! You..."
Jiang Weihua raised his hand to stop the young lady's preaching, "Miss, the New Year is a happy and festive day. I don't want my lover to have to depend on others for his life. It was nice to spend the New Year with my eldest sister before, and it's not bad to spend the New Year with my mother-in-law now. There is always a place to go during the New Year."
Alas~ Jiang Weifang sighed softly. Her messy family gave her a headache. The only consolation was that she had a stubborn and sensible younger brother.
It was eleven o'clock before Old Lady Liu came with Jiang Wei Zhong. After everyone had wished Old Lady Liu a happy new year, Zhou Xiang came with her family to wish Old Lady Liu a happy new year. As for Jiang Wei Zhong, she pretended not to see him. Ling Ran brought his three children to wish Jiang Wei Zhong a happy new year.
Jiang Weizhong happily took out a red envelope and gave it to Sanbao. He was his uncle! Among all the children, he loved Sanbao the most. It was a pity that he ignored him.
After everyone had greeted him, Jiang Weihua brought his son to the elder brother and said, "Brother, I'm Weihua, and this is your nephew Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi, wishing you a happy new year, uncle."
Looking at his nephew who was bending over and bowing with his hands, Jiang Wei Zhong seemed to see himself as a child, who also followed the ancient rituals and was also well-behaved and obedient, but was left behind in his hometown.
"Brother?"
Jiang Weihua's shout brought him back to his senses. He quickly took out a red envelope and handed it to his nephew, "May you be safe every year."
"Thank you, uncle." Jiang Yi took it with both hands, turned around and handed it to his mother to help keep, then went with his nephews and nieces.
Professor Chu didn't come until twelve o'clock. Today, his students went back to their parents' homes, so there must be many members of the Zhou family. He deliberately delayed his arrival until dinner time.
Zhou Xiang felt a little guilty towards the teacher, "Teacher, I..."
Professor Chu waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I'll be here for the New Year. I'll play chess with your dad and chat about family matters."
Zhou Xiang could only believe that the teacher was telling the truth, otherwise, she would feel really guilty.
For lunch, there were two round tables, one for the elders and one for the younger ones.
Eating, drinking, laughing and chatting, but cracks behind the harmony still exist.
In the afternoon, Old Lady Liu left first, and then Professor Chu left with the small amount of money.
Zhou Xiang told her family that she would go home on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year to hold a family meeting, and then left with her husband and children.
Avoiding everyone, Jiang Weihua pulled his elder sister up to the second floor. "Eldest sister, think about coming back on the sixth day to divide the family, what are your plans?"
Mother Zhou shook her head. "I have no plans. Let's think about it!"
Jiang Weihua couldn't express his feelings about his elder sister. When she was teaching him how to get used to everyday life, she was still a kind and rational mother. What made her change?
"Sister, on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, you absolutely cannot say this. To others, it will sound like you disagree, but you are forcing the family to separate.
In the eyes of Zhou Niao and the others, you are biased. No matter how she divides, Zhou Niao is your son. They understand, but there are also Xiao Chunmei and Zhu Hang! And there is also Zhou Yu, the second child who has been suppressed by you for many years.
Big sister, please don't tell me that you said that on purpose, deliberately trying to make Xiang Xiang appear unfilial and unbrotherly.
Mother Zhou was stunned and wanted to explain that her words were just superficial meanings.
Following the sneaky siblings upstairs, Zhou's father entered the second-floor living room and said, "Wei Hua, on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, keep an eye on your eldest sister and don't let her say anything. I'll propose dividing the family property and how to do it then."
"comprehensive!"
"Brother-in-law?"
Zhou's father ignored his wife's angry glare and said to his brother-in-law, "In recent years, your eldest sister has become more and more confused and speaks without thinking. You are right. In addition to brothers and sisters, they also have their own lovers! You can't let Xiangxiang take the blame for the division of the family.
Xiang Xiang built up the entire family. The courtyard we live in now, my apartment, your eldest sister's apartment—all of them were bought with Xiang Xiang's money. When the family split up, all that was hers got, but others don't see it that way.
Your eldest sister probably still thinks she has done something great! What has she done? If she hadn't thought about working hard, she wouldn't even be able to change the basic life of her family. In the past, I would lose my way after hearing a few compliments from others, but now, haha."
