The main thing is to make money, and the rest is just a matter of convenience.

Hua Yan took Hua Rong away to eat, and Hua Jingxing also sat at the table waiting for dinner.

Hua Jiao served the meal to everyone, and Hua Yan gave Hua Jiao the ham she brought back from Shengjing.

From then on, no one paid any attention to Liu Fengzhi.

The four father and daughters were having a great time and laughing. Hua Jiao felt a little emotional as she hadn't seen such a family atmosphere for a long time.

Liu Fengzhi lay on the kang with a hungry stomach, wanting to eat but feeling embarrassed.

After dinner, Hua Jingzhen and others came to get something.

Liu Fengzhi looked at Hua Jingzhen and the Liu brothers taking away so many things and felt like they were taking away her things.

Hua Jingqi didn't buy much, so he didn't leave it in the car and took it back with him.

After being out for so long, Hua Jingqi also realized that Hua Jingxing was really good to him, and he became close to this brother.

Hua Jingxing paid him a salary every month, and he only kept money for daily necessities, and asked Hua Jingxing to save the rest for him.

Hua Jingqi thought that he was old enough to find a partner and start a family, and if he didn't save some money, he might not even be able to find one.

next day

After breakfast, Hua Jingxing drove to Shengjing City to pick up Su Quan.

Hua Jiao took Hua Yan and Hua Rong to the library.

Liu Fengzhi, who stayed at home, wanted to see what Hua Jingxing brought back. Since she didn't get any money, she might as well send some things to old lady Hua.

Haha! Unexpectedly, all the things in Hua Yan's room were locked up, and she couldn't get them out at all.

Hua Yan had been on guard against Liu Fengzhi's move, otherwise she would not have been able to eat the things they brought back during the New Year, and they would have gone to Old Lady Hua.

Having gained nothing, Liu Fengzhi wanted to pry open Hua Yan's door, but Hua Yan's door lock was different from theirs and could not be pried open.

Since they had to prepare New Year’s Eve dinner in the afternoon, the three Hua Jiao sisters didn’t stay in the library for long and returned home.

As soon as Hua Yan entered the yard, she saw Liu Fengzhi circling around her window. Seeing Hua Yan and the others coming back, Liu Fengzhi was a little frightened.

They say that a thief is always guilty, and that's exactly what Liu Fengzhi was like at the moment. When she saw Hua Yan, she avoided his gaze and immediately went back into her room.

Hua Yan knew what Liu Fengzhi was going to do without even thinking.

However, Hua Yan just pretended that nothing had happened.

Hua Jiao took her two younger sisters to start preparing the dishes. She did everything she could, and for those she didn't know how to do, she waited for Hua Jingxing to come back and do them.

Liu Fengzhi could no longer be relied upon as she was not focused on cooking.

"Jiu'er, take some of the things you brought back to your grandma."

Seeing that she couldn't come up with it, Liu Fengzhi had no choice but to make it clear.

"Didn't my dad give you money and ask you to buy it for Old Lady Hua?

What we brought back was what we needed to eat during the New Year, not enough for others.

Also, Ms. Liu, I remind you that she is not my grandmother and has nothing to do with me. And don’t tell me about family anymore, they are not, and neither are you.”

After saying that, Hua Yan ignored Liu Fengzhi.

Liu Fengzhi smacked her lips twice, but finally said nothing more. She couldn't afford to offend this girl, so she'd better not provoke her.

There was no choice but for Liu Fengzhi to take the money given to her by Hua Jingxing and go to Old Lady Hua’s house.

Without Liu Fengzhi, the three sisters kept laughing, and Hua Yan took out the gift she brought for Hua Jiao.

"Jiuer, you bought another gift for your sister."

Hua Jiao took the box that Hua Yan handed to her. Although her tone was complaining, her smile was happy.

This was a leather pencil case that was particularly popular at the time. It was not only beautiful but also very functional.

After Hua Jiao opened it, I loved it so much.

Hua Rong also took out her gift, which was a set of paintbrushes. Since Hua Jiao often taught Hua Rong how to paint, Hua Rong specially chose this gift.

"Guo'er, is this what you chose for your elder sister?"

Hua Jiao looked at the colorful paintbrushes, carefully picked one up, and drew a big rooster for Hua Rong on the paper.

It turns out that Hua Jiao has a talent for painting and her painting of the rooster is very lifelike.

The three sisters prepared the dishes and waited for Hua Jingxing to come back. Liu Fengzhi also came back after a while.

"Mom! Let's start cooking. We don't know when Dad will be back."

Hua Jiao saw that it was already noon, so she went into the house and spoke to Liu Fengzhi.

"Why are you in such a hurry? It's only noon now. Wait until your dad comes back."

Liu Fengzhi sat in the room in a depressed mood, not knowing what she was thinking.

"But Dad is back and he's tired, so we can't let him cook anymore. Let's cook first so he can eat when he gets back."

Hua Jiao fought for it.

"Then just do it, what are you waiting for."

Liu Fengzhi looked at Hua Jiao with impatience.

"Mom! There are some dishes I can't cook, so only you can cook them."

Hua Jiao is no longer as submissive as she used to be.

"How can you be so stupid that you can't even cook a dish?"

Liu Fengzhi used to dislike Hua Yan, and now she also finds Hua Jiao annoying.

"It doesn't matter whether I can do it or not, because I'm just a child and no one will pick on me. Mom, it's enough if you can do it."

Hua Jiao has become more eloquent now.

Liu Fengzhi stared at Hua Jiao blankly and said angrily:

"You are being taken care of by Jiu'er now, and you are not sensible anymore."

"Mom! How can Jiu'er be so ignorant? She has been running around with Dad for our family. It's fine if you don't feel sorry for her, but you still say this to her. It's so hurtful."

Hua Jiao seemed to have no worries suddenly.

Liu Fengzhi looked at Hua Jiao as if she were a stranger. She felt like she didn't know this well-behaved and sensible eldest daughter anymore.

"She runs around just to have fun. What does that have to do with our family?"

Liu Fengzhi never admitted that Hua Yan had any abilities.

"Mom! We've prepared the dishes, go and cook, don't wait for Dad to come back and cook. If that happens, it won't be Jiuer who is immature, it will be you who is immature."

Hua Jiao's tone was full of alienation.

She used to feel sorry for Liu Fengzhi, as she didn't dare to resist when bullied by her grandmother. But now she understood that Liu Fengzhi was just suffering from her own fault and couldn't blame anyone else.

Liu Fengzhi looked at Hua Jiao's back as she turned and left, and suddenly thought of what Hua Jingxing had said to her.

"If you continue like this, the children will become more and more alienated from you, and you will eventually lose them."

Liu Fengzhi shuddered. She felt as if she was really going to lose Hua Jiao, because this eldest girl had never spoken to her like this before. It was all instigated by that prodigal girl.

At this time, Liu Fengzhi hated Hua Yan with all her might, and she never thought that Hua Yan was also her daughter and had spoken to her in a gentle voice.

She blames all the faults on others and never reflects on herself.

Having been outmaneuvered by Hua Jiao, Liu Fengzhi felt that if she continued like this, she might not be allowed to sit at the table for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Reluctantly, Liu Fengzhi began to cook with Hua Jiao, the only meal she had cooked in the whole year.

Hua Jiao looked at the clumsy Liu Fengzhi and really wanted to take the spatula and do it herself, but when she saw Hua Yan shaking her head at her, she gave up the idea.

If she took the spatula now, Liu Fengzhi would have an excuse to never cook again.

-

Hua Jingxing not only picked up Su Quan in Shengjing, but also picked up Su Ying and her family of three.

Su Xiao and Su Peng also called Su Quan today, saying that they were too busy in Shenzhen and didn't want to travel back and forth during the holidays. They would not go home this year and asked Su Quan to help take care of the family.

Secretary Su Wenchao also received calls from his two sons. Although he regretted that his sons could not come back to reunite with him, he was still happy to know that his sons were now being valued.

Hua Jingxing sent Su Quan home and gave both Su Quan and the branch secretary a red envelope.

The two said they didn't want anything, Hua Jingxing said:

"Uncle, with the help of Daquan and his brothers, my pressure is much less. It's New Year's Day, and I didn't buy anything for you. You can buy whatever you like yourself.

This is the wine Jiuer gave you, she said that drinking during the New Year will make your life long and happy. "

As he spoke, Hua Jingxing stuffed the red envelopes into the two men's hands.

【See you tomorrow! 】
