Chapter 246: Chapter 245 Feeling Pretty Good Chapter 246: Chapter 245 Feeling Pretty Good Every year, she openly gave every grandchild a one-penny red envelope, but secretly she would also give two grandsons a five-penny big red envelope.
However, this matter couldn’t be let known to others, especially the Eldest, or he would surely make a fuss.
But she had not expected that as she sneaked into the Third Branch’s house, Zhaodi, who had just come back from the toilet, saw her and immediately guessed what she was up to.
Because in a previous life, the old lady had secretly given red envelopes to two boys and Uncle had found out and caused a big scene.
It caused such a commotion in the house that the old lady was forced to give every child a five-penny big red envelope.
Thinking of the old lady’s pained expression, Zhaodi felt quite delighted.
Besides, five cents per child, with the four sisters combined, that made twenty cents, not too little at all.
But she couldn’t tell Uncle directly, she had to tell San Ya.
Children care a lot about New Year’s money, and if San Ya knew that the old lady gave only the boys red envelopes and not her, she would surely feel aggrieved and tell Uncle.
Uncle loved his daughter so much, he would definitely cause a scene just like in the previous life.
Thus, Zhaodi walked up to the main room’s doorway and called out Jiang Mianmian, who was lying on the kang.
“Third Sister, I just saw Grandma with red envelopes heading to Third Aunt’s room.”
She lowered her voice, her face full of mystery and tension, totally the demeanor of a little girl sharing a secret.
Jiang Mianmian felt this had nothing to do with herself, then she heard Zhaodi whisper, “Third Sister, don’t be upset, I like you the most.”
So, she was taking up her grievances.
Jiang Mianmian immediately shook her head, “I’m not upset.”
Zhaodi: “… But Third Sister, you are clearly smarter and more capable than Big Brother and Second Brother, why would Grandma only give them red envelopes?”
This was completely different from what she had expected.
Seeing her indignantly pouting, Jiang Mianmian even comforted her in return, “It’s okay, even if Grandma secretly gave Zhiwen and Zhiwu red envelopes, they wouldn’t be able to spend it. It will surely be taken away by Third Aunt.”
Zhaodi looked at Jiang Mianmian like that, but she couldn’t force her to tell Jiang Changhai about the matter.
Having no other choice, she could only nod dryly, “I understand, Third Sister, I’ll go back first then.”
“Alright, here’s a candy, go back now.” Jiang Mianmian gave Zhaodi a piece of White Rabbit Milk Candy from her pocket, coaxing her.
After she returned inside, Jiang Changhai casually asked, “Daughter, what did Zhaodi come to see you for?”
Jiang Mianmian replied with a smile, “Just now, Zhaodi saw Grandma secretly giving Zhiwen and Zhiwu red envelopes, she was taking up my grievances. It feels pretty good to have such a sister.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Changhai slightly furrowed his brows, then changed the subject, “Come, daughter, Dad has also prepared a big red envelope for you.”
It was a real big red envelope, containing a whole dollar.
Jiang Mianmian smiled all the more sweetly, her voice sugary, “Dad, I love you the most!”
In Stone Bridge Village, the custom was that on the second day of the Lunar New Year, the daughters would return to their maiden home to visit relatives.
Thus, early the next morning, the Second Branch and Third Branch each took their children and husbands to visit their relatives.
Su Wanyu had no natal home, naturally she didn’t need to visit relatives, and the state-owned restaurant in the town wasn’t open, leaving her family with nowhere to go but to stay at home.
Jiang Changhai, having no sisters or daughters returning to their maiden home to visit, and without the need to entertain guests, the family of three just lay on the kang and had a long sleep.
