Mr. Lu, don't be arrogant.

"What's wrong with you? You've made your daughter and son-in-law so angry, and you're laughing here? Jiang Shangru, what do you want to do? Do you want me to deal with you?"

Yu Qingya was so angry that she started scolding her husband, but she did not forget to close the study door gently.

Seeing his wife coming, Jiang Shangru stood up to greet her.

He helped his wife sit down on his chair, poured her a cup of hot tea, and then stood behind her skillfully to massage her shoulders and back.

"I, Jiang Shangru, have a successor. Shouldn't I be happy? Shouldn't I be smiling?"

"Is there a successor? You mean Wan Ying? Why are you scolding her?"

"You don't understand. And when I say there's a successor, I'm not just referring to Wanying."

"What do you mean?"

"Don't be anxious. You've been tired for most of the day. Have some tea first."

Jiang Shangru's movements were very skillful, as if they had been specially practiced, and in a short while he had relieved most of his wife's anger.

But he did not become proud because of this. Instead, he worked harder, pinching his wife from the top of her head to her waist, not leaving out a single spot, explaining as he went.

"Wanying quarreled with me on purpose. She must have sensed something, so she deliberately quarreled with me in front of outsiders at this critical moment, making those people downstairs mistakenly believe that we are not getting along. In fact, none of us took what happened just now to heart, let alone seriously. Qingya, you don't have to worry."

"Really?"

"When have I ever lied to you?" Jiang Shangru took the opportunity to peck his wife on the cheek, but was pushed away by his wife Yu Qingya with disgust. "You spit all over my face again! Jiang Shangru, be serious!"

"Yes, yes, yes! My wife is right!" Jiang Shangru grinned and continued to massage his wife's back. "Qingya, our daughter Wanying has really grown up. She is very stable now. She doesn't show her emotions on her face. She has a lot of things in her mind. She won't get angry when encountering things. She can keep her composure and looks like she can handle great things. She has really lived up to my expectations. Jiang, I can really leave the responsibility to her!"

"Shangru, you mean these people downstairs..."

Yu Qingya and her husband have completely different focuses.

Jiang Shangru nodded and whispered softly in his wife's ear.

Yu Qingya's face turned pale instantly. "Shangru, what did you say? It's him! It's actually him! He, he actually dared to say that to Wanying..."

"Don't be like that. Look at our daughter and son-in-law. Are they afraid of him? Just wait and see. Our daughter and that brat Lu Linfeng will make him depressed sooner or later. We don't have to worry about anything. Just wait happily for our grandson to hold."

Jiang Shangru was calm and composed.

He pinched her shoulders and back, then her hands, and boasted to her smugly, "Qingya, Wanying just changed her way of addressing me. She uses 'you' instead of 'you'. It seems I'm one step closer to being called 'Dad'."

"congratulations!"

Yu Qingya teased, still not recovering from what her husband had just said.

Even though her husband confidently told her that she didn't need to be afraid of that man given her daughter's abilities, everything that had happened in recent days still made her feel scared and unable to accept it calmly.

Jiang Shangru laughed, "Thank you, wife. By the way, where's Xia Xia? Why haven't you seen her since early this morning? Is she still awake?"

"How could that be? He was called away by that bastard next door."

"Lu Chengfeng?"

"Who else but him?"

"Really? What does he want to do? Was it not painful enough that I beat him last night? You bastard! Where did you take Xia Xia?"

Jiang Shangru got angry when Lu Chengfeng was mentioned.

He was even angrier than Lu Linfeng, that brat who always contradicted him.

I wish I could kick him a few more times.

Yu Qingya sighed, "How should I know? Our daughter is willing to go out with someone, what else can I ask? Let them be. Whether they are together or apart, as long as our child is happy, that's all that matters. Anyway, like you said, we don't expect our children to have any great success, but a healthy and happy life is better than anything else. Alas, my Wanying has a miserable life!"

Yu Qingya mentioned her little daughter again, and then she took her husband's hand and said, "Jiang Shangru, I have something you must do!"

"explain."

Jiang Shangru's voice was gentle.

Yu Qingya immediately said, "We owe Wanying so much. What other children have, Wanying must have too. Today is her first time celebrating Spring Festival at home, so you have to give her some lucky money!"

"Okay, here you go!"

"Give it all!"

"Give it all? Including Lu Linfeng and the little baby she brought?" Jiang Shangru thought it was nothing to give to his daughter and the little girl, it was what he should do. But when he thought of Lu Linfeng who always made things difficult for him, he not only didn't want to give a red envelope, but wanted to slap him in the face. However, under the strong pressure from his wife, Jiang Shangru nodded obediently, "Okay, okay! I'll give it all, okay?"

"Not only that! You have to make up for everything we owe her over the years. Stop rubbing my back. Go, give her a red envelope, and do it now!"

"Qingya, where can I get so much cash?"

"Then you transfer money to the children, one for each year of age, no less! If I miss one, I will never forgive you!"

"Okay, okay, no less, not a single one less, I'll do as you say. Calm down, honey, calm down, it's not good to be angry on New Year's Day."

Jiang Shangru practices what he preaches.

When his wife ordered him to send out red envelopes, he had already taken out his cell phone and sent a red envelope to Mu Wanying and Lu Linfeng.

Mu Wanying transferred one thousand yuan via WeChat.

The text reads: "This is for the child I brought you. I don't have much cash, so you can transfer it to the child and let her buy something delicious. I'll ask your mother to bring the New Year's money down to you later. Remember, keep it secret and don't tell anyone except me and your mother, especially that bastard Lu Linfeng."

Mu Wanying: ...

Lu Linfeng’s New Year’s money was a WeChat red envelope, the amount was one dollar!

It’s really just one dollar!

Not even a penny more.

And also thoughtfully added the text: Wanying’s mother said she must give it to you, you remember to tell Wanying and Wanying’s mother that I gave it to you, a big red envelope!

Lu Linfeng glanced at his phone and almost laughed out loud. He clicked to receive the red envelope and muttered, "The old man is quite vindictive! Well, on such a wonderful holiday, I have to show my filial piety to my father-in-law."

As he said that, Lu Linfeng also replied bluntly, "Okay, I understand. Thank you, Uncle Jiang. Happy New Year, Uncle Jiang."

Then a "bigger" red envelope was given to her father-in-law Jiang Shangru, the amount was: one cent!

It’s really just a penny!

I'm too lazy to even pay two cents.

The post reads: I don't need Wanying to remind me to be polite. Uncle Jiang, you're welcome. Take it and spend it. If it's not enough, I'll give you a cent after I apply for funds from Wanying. You're welcome!

The father-in-law upstairs who received the red envelope opened it and saw the number clearly, and almost rushed downstairs and hit Lu Linfeng on the head with a stick.

But for the sake of his wife and daughter, he finally held back.

He turned around to get an envelope and handed it to his wife.

"This is the New Year's money I gave to Wanying. You'll tell the child later that there are 24 portions in total, one for each year, and they're all on the card. The password is her birthday, and the phone number and ID information reserved are also hers. Don't lose it."

"I understand." Yu Qingya nodded, and quietly handed the envelope to Mu Wanying when she saw her daughter and son-in-law off.

Mu Wanying thought it was just a small token of appreciation, perhaps tens or even hundreds of thousands of yuan at most, so she didn't think much of it and accepted it just to make her mother happy. But when she got home and looked at the number on the card, she was so frightened that her hands almost shook...
