"Big brother, how long do you think it will take for Mom and the others to arrive?" Wu Mao asked cautiously.
At this time, he also brought a woman with him. Thinking that this woman was pregnant with his child and was willing to follow him without asking for anything in return, and even gave him a house and three storefronts, he felt that it was still barely acceptable.
"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? Wait here." He's asked this a hundred and eighty times already. He's not annoyed, he's fed up!
Just as Da Mao finished speaking, his phone rang.
"Mom is calling! Mom is calling!"
Without hesitation, he answered the call. The living room was silent as the brothers stared at Da Mao.
"Hello! Mom? Yes! That's right! At the park? Okay, I'll come pick you up right away."
After hanging up the phone, he rushed out the door. After thinking for a moment, he changed into a military overcoat, the same one his grandfather and father used to wear.
The brothers: ["This eldest brother is a real scoundrel."]
"Fifth Brother, will your mother and the others accept me? I'm a little scared," Hu Yuyu said, her eyes filled with tenderness and fear.
"Hey! As long as I like it, I won't spend a single penny of my family's money, and they'll agree."
Hu Yuyu: "???"
Something seemed off, but she couldn't care less now; she couldn't hide her pregnancy any longer.
Er Mao glanced at the woman indifferently, frowned, and felt that there was something strange about this woman.
Sanmao touched the red envelope she had prepared and felt a sense of peace.
Si Mao pushed up his glasses, his eyes filled with a deep, unfathomable look, and tapped his fingers on the sofa, lost in thought.
Xiao Yingying and Li Xin were on the second floor. Li Xin was wondering how much red envelope his grandmother and great-grandmother would give him later.
As soon as the three of them got into the car, they saw Da Mao with a smile on his face. His military overcoat was particularly eye-catching, but it caught Ma Linghua's eye.
“Da Mao, not bad. Seeing you like this reminds me of the past.” He sighed and continued, “Our family used to have such a hard life! We worked ourselves to the bone to support you all, and now, in the blink of an eye, Grandma is all old.”
As she spoke, she became sad, "Mom, don't be sad! It's the New Year, isn't it easy to support them?" She couldn't understand where all the hard work was.
Ma Lihua: "……………………"
What could she possibly say?
"Don't talk! Why are you interrupting me? If she didn't work herself to death, would Pear Blossom be so weak?" After thinking for a moment, she continued, "Isn't it because her brothers have run out of nutrients for her? How could my poor Pear Blossom be like this?"
Ma Lihua immediately gave Li Damao a rather unfriendly look.
Li Damao: "…………………………"
No, what does this have to do with them? They're not sextuplets.
Li Damao remained silent in the car, driving cautiously with a hunched back.
When she arrived at Da Mao's house, she noticed that it wasn't as big as the villa in Bingjiang Park, and she glanced at Da Mao again.
Why are you looking at me?
Li Damao felt a surge of nervousness.
"After all these years of hard work, you're living in this dilapidated house?" Ma Linghua was unhappy.
Li Damao: "…………………………"
Is this a dilapidated house? What are the houses in Black Wind Village like? Thatched huts?
"You're not thinking that what I said was wrong, are you?" Ma Linghua stared at him intently.
Li Damao: "……………………"
Sure enough, she's still her grandma; she can tell what kind of poop someone has just lifted up their butt.
"No, Grandma, you're right. I'll buy a big house next year."
"Hmm! Not bad, you've got the awareness."
Ma Hehua is quiet now. What is she doing? She is putting on makeup.
"Mother, isn't there a bit too much blush on your face?" Ma Lihua couldn't bear to look at it anymore.
"Will it?" The mirror looked left and right, and felt that it wasn't red enough.
"Daughter, what color lipstick do you think I should wear?" she said, taking out a stack of lipsticks.
"Mom, where did you get the money to buy all this?" she asked softly.
"Hey! It didn't cost any money. Your dad sent these. I heard they're all brand names. I think they're just so-so, but they're okay to use." As soon as she finished speaking, she turned to pick out lipsticks.
What do you think of this bright red one?
"good."
"Then let's use this color!" she said, taking the mirror to apply lipstick.
Li Damao didn't dare to look at it. Every year during the New Year, her mother would dress up without fail, making her even uglier than the Nian monster in the cartoon.
As soon as she entered Da Mao's house, Ma Lihua frowned.
"What's wrong, honey?"
"No, maybe I smelled it wrong." Ma Lihua sensed a foul odor wafting around them.
As soon as they entered, Ma Linghua and Ma Hehua walked into the hall with their heads held high and chests puffed out. They looked around like tigresses surveying their territory.
The brothers didn't dare to move, just waiting for Ma Linghua to speak.
"Alright, it's rare for everyone to get together like this, so line up now and come one by one," Ma Hehua said excitedly.
Her mother, for the sake of saving face, stubbornly refused to speak up, but she was capable!
She's shameless! Besides, it's time to collect interest after having five money-losing babies.
Da Mao took out three bulging red envelopes and, in order, gave them to his milk first, then to his mother and sister.
In previous years, their father would collect the money and hand it over, but this year, for some reason, their mother and the others came directly to collect it.
The brothers were unaware that Li Fagu and Li Zhongguo had long since vanished without a trace…
Those two are having a wonderful time in Kyoto!
Sanmao seemed to have more money than his brothers, and Ma Linghua looked at him with new respect.
