Burning down my ex-husband's house! I won't raise these bastard children anymore

A chubby little boy, unwilling to be outdone, shouted at the top of his voice, "Chief, I wish your business will be booming this year, crackling like firecrackers!"

There was also a mischievous boy who rolled his eyes and shouted with a smile: "Chief, I wish you find a tall and handsome boyfriend this year!"

As soon as these words came out, the children around burst into laughter.

Lin Panpan was both angry and amused. She glared at them in feigned anger and said, "Who taught you this, you little brats? Come over here and get your gift bags."

The children immediately lined up obediently, standing straight with their eyes fixed on the red envelope in Lin Panpan's hand.

One after another, they obediently took the red envelopes from Lin Panpan's hands, bowed, and thanked her in a baby voice.

Children from several neighboring villages stood by, staring at the scene with envy written all over their faces.

Their little hands tightly grasped the corners of their clothes, and they swallowed from time to time.

A child from Zhoujia Village bravely took small steps forward and asked softly, "Sister Panpan, can we get a red envelope?"

Hearing this, Lin Panpan looked at the children and said gently, "You also have red envelopes."

Although she had some past conflicts with the adults in Zhoujia Village, these children were quite nice.

In her previous life, she was very busy selling tofu. Whenever she was overwhelmed, these little guys would come and help her.

Some helped her carry tofu, and some helped her sell tofu. Lin Panpan always kept it in mind, so at this moment, she gave red envelopes to these children without hesitation.

The children were so excited that their little mouths were as sweet as honey, and they shouted in crisp voices: "Sister Panpan, Happy New Year! I wish you two babies this year, and three in three years."

The other children joined in the fun, chattering, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, and then your brother-in-law is tall, handsome, and super rich, and he'll spoil you to the sky!"

The children were talking to each other, making it very lively.

Lin Panpan's face flushed instantly. She waved her hands hurriedly, saying with a mixture of laughter and tears, "Who did you learn this from, you little brats? Stop talking nonsense and take your red envelopes and go home!"

The children cheered and ran away happily, not forgetting to turn around and shout: "Sister Panpan, remember to treat us to wedding candy!"

Looking at their receding backs, Lin Panpan couldn't help laughing out loud.

Gu Mobai smiled and joked, "These kids are so interesting. With their little mouths, it would be a shame if they didn't become lobbyists in the future."

Lin Panpan looked at the direction the children left and nodded. "It's really interesting. These kids have helped me a lot in the past. Although they are young, they are very enthusiastic."

The children of Zhoujia Village skipped back, their laughter like silver bells echoing over the village.

As soon as they arrived at the village entrance, the laughter and joy were interrupted by a burst of discordant discussions.

Several villagers were gathered together, their faces gloating. One of them lowered his voice and said:

"Hey, you guys say this Lin Panpan is really strong-willed.

This year, I’m afraid there won’t even be any stutterers left in her family.”

Zhao Damei was cracking melon seeds, her face full of disdain, and she raised her voice and said:

"How powerful do you think she is? She's just a paper tiger.

I want to see how she can continue to act and how she can live her life.

Now that their village has gone to the production team, they can't even earn work points. I also heard that no one asks her to prepare a banquet anymore.

She used to be able to make some money from this, but now she can’t make a cent at all! I guess she has nowhere to cry now.”

The people around nodded, and a woman with a shrill voice quickly answered:

"That's right, she just has no tact.

If I had followed your Zhou army, I wouldn't have ended up like this. I could have easily enjoyed the best food and the best drinks."

Zhao Damei heard this and showed a hint of pride on her face. She shook her hair and said, "That's right. My Zhou Jun has gone to the brigade now. Lin Panpan doesn't have this blessing."

When the children heard these slanderous words, they couldn't suppress the anger in their hearts.

The leading child blushed and shouted back, "You're talking nonsense! Who said Sister Panpan has no money? She just gave us red envelopes!"

As they spoke, the children raised the red envelopes in their hands high.

Seeing this, Zhao Damei snorted coldly, her face full of disdain, and said in a shrill voice:

"It's just a few red envelopes! Who knows if there's money in them? Maybe they're just pretending.

You guys are still treating me like a treasure, why are you so happy?"

There was an impatient child who, upon hearing this, immediately tore open the red envelope in dissatisfaction.

"Wow, I have a dollar here!" He widened his eyes, waved the banknote excitedly, and his voice trembled with excitement.

The other children were not to be outdone and hurriedly opened the red envelopes.

"I have one here, too!"

"Mine too!" The children's exclamations came one after another, and their young faces were full of pride and satisfaction.

You know, this was 1973, and the purchasing power of a dollar couldn't be underestimated.

It could buy several kilograms of rice or a few feet of cotton cloth. In that era when supplies were not abundant, this one-dollar red envelope was really worth a lot of money.

Zhao Damei shouted, "How is this possible? Is Lin Panpan crazy? She actually took one dollar as New Year's money."

In the crowd, Aunt Li's eyes widened and she shouted at the top of her lungs, "Oh my God, so much money! Should we return it? It's only one dollar each!"

Aunt Wang also came over, touched her chin, and agreed, "That's right! Panpan is really generous."

"Every time my son Xiao Ming goes to help her sell tofu, she gives him candy and sometimes even money!" Mrs. Zhang had a smile on her face and her tone was full of praise.

"Yes, yes, whoever marries Panpan as his wife will be very lucky!" Everyone spoke one after another, and praises came one after another.

Uncle Chen suddenly raised his voice:

“This girl used to make dozens of dollars a month, and she must be making even more now.

Look at this move, life is so comfortable now."

Zhao Damei crossed her arms, snorted coldly, and said in a sarcastic tone:

"Humph, I'm just pretending to be rich, and you really believe it?

Maybe they can’t even open the pot behind the scenes.”

Mrs. Zhang frowned and glanced at Zhao Damei with dissatisfaction:

"Sister, please don't talk nonsense.

Everyone knows what Lin Panpan is like; she is not that kind of person."

A group of people gathered together, talking one after another, and speaking up for Lin Panpan.

Aunt Zhang was so angry that she put her hands on her hips and pointed at Zhao Damei's nose and said:

"Sister Zhao, tell me honestly, how did Panpan ever treat you badly in your family before?

From the time the rooster crows until dark, we take care of all the housework without you having to lift a finger.

Grinding tofu, making tofu, which one wasn't she responsible for all by herself? She is even more filial to you, she loves you more than her own daughter!"
