Miao Chunjuan sighed and pretended to speak earnestly, "Xiao Qi, it's not that Second Aunt wants to say anything bad about you, it's just that Second Aunt can't bear to see you go on wasting time like this. Although you have a diploma from a foreign university, that kind of certificate is not recognized in China, you still have to do a solid job, and if you can't do that, you can help your parents at home.

If you keep imitating those old men and women who cheat people under the overpass and act like charlatans, you won’t even be able to find a husband in the future.”

As soon as she finished speaking, her mother-in-law, Old Lady Wang, couldn't bear it anymore.

"Chunjuan, today is a happy day, why do you keep complaining about the child? Things are different now than in the past. Young people have more choices and don't have to compromise for the sake of stuttering like people in the past. Xiaoqi likes fortune-telling, as long as she is happy, you don't care whether she makes money or not. Even if she is giving away money, she still has her master, senior brothers, parents, and brothers to support her. She doesn't eat your rice, so don't worry about it, just take care of your son and daughter."

Although Yan Chenqi is not her biological granddaughter, she has watched her grow up since she was a child, and she calls her "Grandma" all the time, which is so endearing.

Besides, Yan Chenqi is straightforward, kind and sensible, while her granddaughter Xu Kairuo is arrogant, vain, and a little petty.

Miao Chunjuan grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Isn't it all for her good?"

Yan Chenqi glanced at her parents who were cooking in the kitchen. She didn't want her mother to have a miserable birthday, nor did she want to argue with a vulgar woman, so she quickly took the pair of gold earrings and walked over to Old Lady Wang.

She smiled and said, "Second Aunt is right. As an elder, she talks to us young people with love. Look, grandma, I bought you a gift too."

Old Lady Wang was surprised and delighted. "Hey, Xiaoqi, why are you buying such expensive things for an old lady like me? It's so hard for you to earn some money on your own."

"It's not expensive, and I earn more now than before. You are already over 70 years old, so isn't it my duty to show my respect to you?"

Although her grandmother did good deeds and accumulated virtue all her life, she was not very long-lived and would pass away in her sleep in five years.

So she wants to be nicer to her grandmother during these years.

As he spoke, Yan Chenqi helped Old Lady Wang put on the earrings.

Old Lady Wang held her hand and her nose was sore with emotion, "Xiao Qi, you are so thoughtful."

Her husband passed away early, and she had only two sons but no daughter. The family conditions of her two sons were also average. She was somewhat envious when she saw other old ladies showing off that their daughters bought gold jewelry.

I didn’t expect that her granddaughter bought her a pair of gold earrings. Tomorrow she will also be able to hang out with those old girlfriends.

Then, Yan Chenqi put the small gold lock on Xu Youyou, and finally took the gold bracelet into the kitchen.

"Dad, mom."

Liu Cuiyun was cooking and saw her and said quickly, "Why did you come in? We'll be eating soon, get out."

"I'll do the cooking, Mom, you go take a rest."

Yan Chenqi pulled her mother away and quickly put the gold bracelet on Liu Cuiyun's wrist.

She deliberately chose this time to give it to her mother. If her mother had waited until she was done with her work, she would definitely not accept the gold bracelet and would have asked her to return it.

Even Liu Cuiyun insisted on taking it off, "Oh my god, the gold bracelet is so expensive, why did you buy it, Xiaoqi? Your mother's hands, which cook well, can't match such a beautiful bracelet."

Yan Chenqi flipped the vegetables with a spatula and said, "Mom, if you take it off, I won't eat this meal. I'm leaving."

"You kid!"

Xu Dafu smiled and said, "The child bought it for you out of love, just to see you happy. If you don't accept it, wouldn't it be like pouring a basin of cold water on her head? She will be very sad."

After saying that, he picked up a piece of braised pork that had just come out of the pot and handed it to Yan Chenqi's mouth, "Come on, girl, try it."

"Well, it's delicious."

Yan Chenqi likes the food her father cooks the most, which is better than that cooked by five-star chefs.

With tears in her eyes, Liu Cuiyun reached out to smooth the hair on Yan Chenqi's forehead. Looking at her fair and beautiful face, she felt a strong sense of pride.

"Having a precious daughter like you is truly a blessing that your parents have accumulated for eight lifetimes."

Yan Chenqi smiled, turned around and kissed her on the cheek, "I am so lucky to have parents like you. Happy birthday, mom. May you always be happy and healthy."

"Hehe...thank you baby."

The family had lunch happily. The cake was brought out and the candles had just been blown out when Zhang Mei from the same street arrived.

"It's Sister Cuiyun's birthday. Happy birthday, Sister Cuiyun."

Liu Cuiyun greeted her with a smile, "Meimei is here, come sit down and have a piece of cake."

"No, no, I'm here to borrow a gas can from you. We're out of gas, and the gas delivery guy happened to say he had something to do today, so he can only deliver it tomorrow. My pancake stand relies on business at night, so how can we run out of gas?"

"That's right." Liu Cuiyun called Xu Huadong, "Go to the kitchen and fetch a can of gas and give it to your aunt."

Zhang Mei quickly said, "No, no, a can of gas is so heavy, I can handle it myself, you two can just have fun together."

Just as she was about to go out with the gas tank, Yan Chenqi couldn't help but call her, "Aunt Zhang Mei."

Zhang Mei turned around and was smiling brightly, but her face was stiff and her forehead was black.

"What's wrong, Xiaoqi?"

Yan Chenqi took a deep breath and looked at her with some sympathy, "You are going to die tonight, so don't set up a stall at night. If you have any unfulfilled wishes or last words, just do it."
