Shen Ci and Han Zheng demanded that it had to be Zhao Sulan willingly spending the days with them.
And they were indeed willing to spend the days with Zhao Sulan.
Otherwise, they could just retreat.
The money given now, they would not take back, and from then on, everyone would no longer be in contact.
However, if they could continue living with Zhao Sulan in peace and ease, either Han Zheng or Shen Ci would keep paying them a not-too-much-not-too-little amount of money, allowing them to live a comfortable life.
Of course, if they wished, they could also rely on their own abilities to start a business, and if successful and wanting to leave Zhao Sulan, it would be possible.
At that time, they would just need to compensate Zhao Sulan for the money they obtained for nothing.
In other words, both Han Zheng and Shen Ci wanted to find someone willing to deceive Zhao Sulan for a lifetime.
The intention behind this was impure and quite harmful, but for Zhao Sulan, it wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.
After all, if she really had a fallout with Meng Chuyue and Zhao Xiaoxin, her life wouldn’t be better than this arrangement.
The strategies of Han Zheng and Shen Ci were surprisingly in agreement, but the two of them didn’t know about each other’s plans, and aside from the person involved in the matter, no one else knew, including Meng Chuyue and Zhao Xiaoxin.
On New Year’s Eve, Meng Chuyue finally delivered the hats and scarves she hand-knitted for everyone.
Han Xiao, Han Muchuan, and Lee Mi had theirs too.
However, since they arrived later, they didn’t ask Meng Chuyue to knit for them personally, so their gifts were hastily bought by Han Zheng and given by Han Muyang.
Han Zheng wasn’t short of money, so what he bought was all high-end and looked very pretty.
At the time, these three were unaware of the trick, having no extra thoughts about it.
The next morning, Han Muyang handed a hat and scarf to Su Jinnian who came early on the first day of the New Year to pay a visit and freeload a meal, and Su Jinnian excitedly said, "Thanks, Chuyue, you worked hard. Um, I feel that compared to others’, mine looks the best."
Han Muyang chuckled, "Really bad at talking, can’t you just say that everything Yueyue knitted looks good?"
Zhao Xiaoxin also came over to join in the fun, "Yeah, we all think ours look the best."
Han Xiao, Han Muchuan, and Lee Mi noticed the trick in the conversation and after a closer look, realized that aside from their hats and scarves that were bought, all the others were hand-knitted, becoming aware of the situation.
Although they knew they couldn’t blame anyone, they were quite upset in their hearts.
Especially Han Muchuan, he secretly regretted his negligence, otherwise he would have owned a hat and a scarf hand-knitted by Meng Chuyue.
It was just that it wasn’t appropriate to ask Meng Chuyue to do anything on the first day of the New Year; otherwise, he really wanted to shamelessly ask for one, even just one item would be okay.
Actually, one could also go out to pay New Year’s visits on the first day.
However, due to the cold, most people preferred to stay at home.
After everyone had eaten, considering it was not suitable to work on that day, they decided to play cards together.
Regarding this national essence...
Meng Chuyue didn’t have much understanding from her past and future lives.
But with the space cheating tool at hand, when there was a shortage of one player for the three Mahjong tables, she agreed.
Seeing Han Muchuan, who heard Shen Ci didn’t know how to play Mahjong, pulled Han Xiao and Han Muchuan to join together, she cheerfully requested to switch tables with Shen Ci.
Shen Ci knew she wanted to use her space to cheat and win the money from Han Muchuan and others, and he agreed with a smile.
Their table consisted of her, Han Xiao, Han Muchuan, and Han Muyang.
Seeing that it was all siblings of the same family, it seemed reasonable.
The other two tables, one consisted of Han Zheng, Su Jinnian, Han Muchuan, and Shen Ci—the four Mahjong experts.
Another table had Zhao Xiaoxin, Lin Muyun, Lee Mi, and Song Enzhi who couldn’t wait to come over for her hat and sweater.
This last table was said to be full of beginners, but whether that was the case or not was unclear so far.
However, all three tables played big.
Because none of them was short of money.
Then everyone discovered that Meng Chuyue was genuinely a novice, as she had to ask Han Muyang to explain the rules of the game before starting.
