Come on in.

Seeing the cultured and refined Li Chuhan, Mother w.a.n.g smiled and welcomed her into the home.

Regardless of the relations.h.i.+p between the two of them, since they were here, she naturally had to receive them.

Kid, why didnt you tell me in advance that you were coming back? I didnt prepare anything, w.a.n.g Cuiping whispered.

Mom, stop pretending. Ji Qingyan must have told you over the phone. Dont think I dont know.

Dont talk nonsense. Qingyan didnt tell me.

Then your acting is too poor. Youre actually not excited at all.

w.a.n.g Cuiping looked at Lin Yi and thought to herself, You brought another woman back. You almost scared me to death.

The family chatted for a while before w.a.n.g Cuiping stood up.

You guys havent eaten yet, right? Ill cook for you.

I havent eaten anything since this morning. Please get me something to eat. Im starving.

Wait, Ill do it now.

Auntie, Ill come help, Li Chuhan stood up and said.

Thats not necessary. Ill do it myself.

Its okay.

Just as Li Chuhan was about to help, Zhao Quanfu stopped her.

No need, no need. You and Lil Yi can just stay here. How can I let you help with the work? The two of us can handle it.

As he spoke, Zhao Quanfu pulled w.a.n.g Cuiping to the kitchen and said,

Whats wrong with you? This is her first time here. Why did you ask her to come to the kitchen?

Although Cuiping w.a.n.g acted like she had rejected the offer, it was not a firm rejection. To Huaxian people, it did not even count as a rejection.

She said she wanted to help, w.a.n.g Cuiping mumbled.

I think youre biased. Zhao Quanfu said.

When Qingyan came, you didnt let her do anything. Now that its someone else, you let her into the kitchen. Why is your heart so crooked?

Qingyan is my daughter-in-law. Cant I make her work?

Hes Lil Yis friend. Why are you making her work?

Its not as simple as a simple friends.h.i.+p, w.a.n.g Cuiping said. Maybe theres something going on between them. I cant let Qingyan down.

Youre already so old. Dont worry too much. Zhao Quanfu lectured.

Let him handle Lil Yis matter himself. Just do your job well. If he brings one back, you entertain one. As a mother, if you dont treat them well, wont you be slapping Lil Yis face?

Nonsense. My son is rich now and hes good-looking. Those women outside cant stop themselves from pouncing on him. If he brings them all back, am I supposed to receive them all?

Thats because hes capable. Other people dont even have two prospects. Zhao Quanfu said, Anyway, dont worry about Little Yis matters. Just focus on your own things.

Also, let me tell you, dont fuss about the relations.h.i.+p. When they leave, dont forget to give her a red packet.

A red packet?

Its her first time here, and she even bought us something. Why shouldnt you give her a red packet? Why is she getting worse treatment?

w.a.n.g Cuiping did not hate Li Chuhan. She even sort of liked this gentle and refined girl.

However, she firmly believed that she was a mistress, so she had to take her stand on this matter.

If Qingyan were here, youd give her everything. Now that Little Li is here, you wont give her anything? Whats going on?

w.a.n.g Cuiping thought about it and felt that he was making sense, so she did not refute.

I can give her a red packet, but only 500 yuan.

Why is it only 500 yuan? The days are good now. 500 yuan is too little.

When Qingyan is here, I only gave her 500 yuan in the red packet. If I gave this girl more and Qingyan finds out, how will I be able to face her? w.a.n.g Cuiping said.

Anyway, this is the rule. There are so many brats in the orphanage. No matter who brings their girlfriend back in the future, they will be given 500 yuan.

Alright, alright. You can decide how much you want to pay so long as you remember that you have to pay.

Hurry up and fry your eggs. I know how to handle this.

Because she knew that Lin Yi was coming back, w.a.n.g Cuiping had already stewed the pork ribs and beef. They could eat after she stir-fried a few vegetables.

Twenty minutes later, six dishes were served. w.a.n.g Cuiping asked,

Son, I heard that you came back this time to do something. Can you stay for a few more days?

Thatll be tough. There are still many things to do in Zhonghai. Dont worry, even if I leave, Ill come back again.

Now that he was home, Lin Yi stopped pretending and said whatever was on his mind.

Be careful when youre busy with work. Dont tire yourself out. Money isnt earned in a day.

As she spoke, w.a.n.g Cuiping even put a few pieces of pork ribs into Li Chuhans bowl. Miss, eat more. Youre too thin.

She saw Li Chuhan quietly eating.

w.a.n.g Cuiping felt a little apologetic. She felt that what she did just now was indeed not right.

However, the red packet could only contain 500 yuan. No one could receive more than their eldest daughter-in-law.

Thank you, Auntie.

Mom, hows the orphanage now? Do you need me to buy anything? Lin Yi asked.

Dont worry, we dont lack anything. Didnt you see that theyve all gained weight? w.a.n.g Cuiping couldnt stop smiling. She danced around and said,

Now that were able to go out to buy things, were very satisfied. We often go to the slaughterhouse to buy pork and beef one by one. Were all feeling good eating it.

Yes, dont be stingy. Let me know if you need money.

We dont lack money, but its more troublesome at school. They often have parent-teacher meetings, but theyre all held at the same time. Your father and I dont know who to visit.

Talk to the teacher about this. Its usually not a big problem.

Thats true. The teachers in the school are quite open-minded. They know our situation and gave us the green light. They dont make things difficult for us.

Thats good. Lin Yi said, If there are any other difficulties, remember to tell me. Ill help you solve them.

Dont worry. You dont have to worry about this place. Everything is going fine.

They ate happily, and Lin Yi and Li Chuhan played with the children for a while before leaving.

Child, take this.

Seeing w.a.n.g Cuipings red packet, Li Chuhan took two steps back and waved her hand.

Auntie, I cant take this.

Why not? w.a.n.g Cuiping said with a straight face, Do you think Auntie gave you too little?

Thats not what I meant. You can save it for the children in the or[hanage. There are still many places to spend money you.

Having lived for so long, this was the first time Li Chuhan had seen such a scene.

She also knew that this red packet seemed to have a secondary meaning.

This has nothing to do with money. This is the rule. I have to give you a red packet during your first visit, w.a.n.g Cuiping said.

Take it quickly, or Auntie will be unhappy.

Take it. Its not much. Its just a token of his mothers appreciation.

Li Chuhan shyly tucked her hair to the side and took w.a.n.g Cuipings red packet with both hands.

Thank you, Auntie.

What are you thanking me for? In the future, when you have nothing to do, come over with Lil Yi to play.

Got it, Auntie.

Mom, I have something to do. Ill leave first. Ill visit you again when I have time.

Alright, lets get back to work.

As everyone watched Lin Yi and Li Chuhan drive away, w.a.n.g Cuiping sighed.

Old Zhao, why did I feel so uncomfortable when I gave her the red packet?

Why are you feeling unwell? Did you have a heart attack? Ill bring you to get a checkup.

Its not that my heart is uncomfortable. I just feel sorry for Qingyan. Im too two-faced, w.a.n.g Cuiping said.

In the afternoon, he was still chatting with Qingyan. Then, he gave another girl a red packet. Is this something a good person should do?

Its fine. Youll get used to it after he brings back a few more in the future.
