"Grandma, let's each take one of these red envelopes!"
"Shall I treat you to braised pork at the state-run restaurant tomorrow?"
"You should treat me to a state-run restaurant; that's the salary those two siblings saved up for more than two months without eating or drinking."
"Take that. You're all grown up now, you should have some money on you!"
Li Yueliang suddenly remembered that he had given him two hundred last time, and swiftly snatched the red envelope back.
"No, I already gave you 200 last time."
"Here, take this 10 yuan as New Year's money. I'll mail the rest to Qingci next time I write a letter!"
"She mailed so many things home, I wonder if she has any money left."
"This stuff doesn't look cheap at all. I told her not to worry about the old woman and to take care of herself first, but she just wouldn't listen!"
"I reckon all the money I transferred to her went into this!"
Su Jindong looked at the ten yuan in his hand and said, "Grandma, this is no way to be biased!"
"What? You think it's not enough? Give it to me, give it to me!"
"Su Chang'an is about your age, and he's already giving your grandpa a lucky six-digit bonus. Where did your salary go?"
"Give me 120 yuan every year from now on, and I'll save it for your wedding!"
"You don't know the cost of money until you're in charge of the household!"
"Let me tell you, it won't be so easy to get any extra money out of the old man anymore. You're all grown up now and have your own salaries. I'm almost out of ideas."
Su Jindong quickly stuffed the ten yuan into his pocket, saying, "I don't mind it being too little, I don't mind it being too little!"
"We'll talk about marriage later, later..."
"In the future, you'll be 20. When your grandfather was your age, your father was already three years old."
Li Yueniang raised an eyebrow. "I think the little girl from the Guo family next door is quite nice. She's always liked to follow you around since she was little. Why don't I talk to her grandmother and ask her to arrange a marriage for you?"
Su Jindong was exasperated by Li Yueniang's enthusiastic expression.
"Grandma, please don't do anything reckless. I've always considered Wenjing my own little sister."
"In my heart, she is like Qingci. Don't try to play matchmaker for me. I already have someone I like."
Li Yueniang's eyes lit up. "What? You have someone you like? What kind of girl is she? What does she do? How old is she? What's her name? How did you meet? Does she know you like her? Does she like you...?"
Su Jindong looked at Li Yueniang, who seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, her face flushed red, and said, "Grandma, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Li Yueniang glanced at her grandson's expression and said with disdain, "You're not still in unrequited love, are you?"
"What a spineless person."
"With your fiery brain, it would be strange if any girl liked you."
"Wow, it's really there?"
"Then you'd better take the initiative. Go out with some girls, maybe see a movie or something."
"But I'm warning you, you have to respect women. Don't touch them inappropriately, even if it's a woman who makes the first move!"
"Also, please don't bring me back a Qin Xiangxiang."
"Ideally, she'd be a quiet, gentle girl!"
Li Yueniang stared intently at her grandson's expression. Seeing him nod with a blush on his face, she couldn't help but feel sorry for Guo Wenjing.
She had known for a long time that the polite, quiet little girl who always followed her grandchildren around liked her grandson.
At first, she thought Su Jindong was clueless, but she never expected that he would fall for another girl as soon as he did.
However, matters of the heart should not be forcibly interfered with, otherwise it will backfire.
At most, she could only mention the little girl more often in front of her grandson, hoping to give him a different idea.
Military compound.
It took Qin Xiangxiang a long time to recover.
Seeing that Qin Xiangxiang was about to explode with anger, Su Yi felt inexplicably guilty. He clutched the five yuan in his pocket like a precious treasure and went into his room early.
Dad hid, Mom fell down, and Su Meifang could only curse as she rolled up her sleeves to clean up the mess on the table.
"That old hag is nothing but a bloodsucking bug, she's shameless."
"She can't live without a man, and she's always coming to our house to freeload..."
"I curse her to die soon. It's true what they say, good people don't live long, but evil people live a thousand years. You old slut who won't die."
Su Meifang grew angrier the more she cursed, and slammed the bowl she was holding heavily onto the table.
"You bitch, how could we have believed her lies!"
"They don't even let people have a good time on New Year's Eve."
As Su Meifang continued her rant, her voice even cracked with sobs.
She felt so wronged.
She spent most of the day helping her mother prepare a large meal, but she still didn't get enough to eat.
After exchanging a few words and giving a red envelope, the entire table of food was devoured by that glutton Su Jindong, leaving only scraps.
What's even more infuriating is that, not only did they not get enough to eat, but everyone else ate and drank their fill and left, leaving her to clean up the mess.
Despite losing such a large sum of money to please his father, Su Yi ended up clutching Su Changqing's five yuan as if it were a treasure.
Her good fortune, her filial piety...
"Wow... Ah~"
Su Meifang was so angry that she couldn't hold back any longer. She threw the bowls and chopsticks she was holding onto the kitchen stove and started howling.
Qin Xiangxiang had to lift her head and get up from the sofa. "Meifang, what's wrong?"
"If it doesn't work, just leave it there. We'll have the housekeeper clean it up when she comes tomorrow."
Su Meifang sobbed, "Mom, I feel terrible... Waaah~"
"They're bullying us too much."
“I’m still hungry. I haven’t eaten much. That Su Jindong is a glutton.”
