I stole your luck and caused my wife's death, making you regret being a human being.

"The God of Wealth is knocking on my door..."

"Baby, come and light the lamp..."

"New Year's red envelopes and the sound of firecrackers..."

New Year’s Eve.

Dabao was woken up by the sound of the TV.

She sat up quickly and found that Lao Zheng and her mother were no longer in bed.

She threw the pillow to the ground, and her body fell down. She fell onto the pillow and got safely ashore. She climbed out of the bedroom and went to the living room. The TV was on and there were two aunts dressed festively, clasping their fists and singing.

Dabao also learned to bow and babbled.

We have to worship on New Year’s Eve.

Zheng Wendong bought it ready-made and it was already prepared.

After Su Ying took Dabao to the bathroom to wash up, she changed her clothes and gave the red envelope for her parents-in-law to Zheng Wendong.

Zheng Wendong took it, brought Dabao along, and got the red envelope the moment he got it.

Zheng Wendong suddenly remembered, "Su Ying, where is your mother's family?"

Su Ying said, "I'll make a phone call in a moment."

Zheng Wendong was extremely confused, but Su Ying rarely mentioned her family, so he had to nod and take Dabao to take a taxi. He reported a location that was a little far away from the third brother's community to avoid running into Dong Dacheng who would think he was rich.

After they went out.

Su Ying also packed up and went out, found a phone booth and inserted a thirty-yuan phone card.

I first called the number in Singapore and asked for the answer.

After hanging up the phone, he dialed the area code and number of Shanghai.

"Hello? Happy New Year, I'm Su Qi. Who is this?" The phone was picked up on the other end.

"Cousin, Happy New Year, I'm Su Ying..."

Su Qi was surprised.

And here.

Zheng Wendong took Dabao to the third-room apartment building and took out the offerings and placed them there.

His biological father and the ancestors of the Dong family worshipped together.

Dong Li happily came over and picked up Dabao, "Dabao, come on, sister will take you to play."

When Dabao saw his brothers and sisters, he jumped for joy and was then carried away by Dong Li.

Zheng Wendong saw Dong Li put Dabao and Dong Xi together.

I didn't see the second room.

Puzzled, "Where's the second one?"

He Shujun said, "He hasn't come yet... Lao Si, go and urge him."

Dong Si went to urge them.

When he came back, he stuck out his tongue.

"My second brother and his wife seem to be arguing."

He Shujun said, "Why are you arguing during the New Year?"

Dong Yao stared at the steamed buns for the offering and complained loudly: "My dad was talking about how much red envelope to give to grandpa and grandma. He said that since the family is splitting up and he's not around anymore, I need to give more. My mom said that we just rented a house and we don't have that much money, so I need to give less..."

He Shujun's face darkened. "Your mother is always fussy."

What's wrong with a son being filial?

After a while, Dong Cai and Ma Xiaoyan arrived.

His face was pitch black.

Dong Cai also had a sour face, "Brother, the third brother..."

Zheng Wendong asked, "Did you have a fight?"

Dong Cai was embarrassed.

Zheng Wendong sighed and said, "What are you arguing about? Look at me and your sister-in-law. We didn't even argue during the New Year."

Dong Cai was confused, but envious.

Since we are dividing the family this year, the red envelopes given to the two elders should also be given on New Year’s Eve.

Zuo Ziwen gave it first.

Then there is Ma Xiaoyan.

Dong Dacheng took it apart on the spot and showed it to him.

Dong Hua was given eighty, which means forty to each of the two elders.

Ma Xiaoyan gave forty.

Dong Si is unmarried and does not need to give money to her parents.

When Ma Xiaoyan saw that the third wife gave eighty, her face turned green.

Dong Cai didn't take it to heart, and said casually, "Mom and Dad, our family's financial situation is average this year..."

He Shujun smiled and said, "It's enough for you to be filial. The third child gave too much, and you still have children to raise. Your father and I will only take 60."

Zuo Ziwen said, "Mom, no need. It's not easy for you. This is a gift from Dong Hua and I."

Ma Xiaoyan was angry that she thought she was great because she was rich and didn't consider her at all.

Logically, it is best to give about the same amount to brothers and sisters-in-law.

But Zuo Ziwen gave her so much without discussing it with her.

It makes her and her husband seem unfilial.

Zuo Ziwen was proud of it.

This worship...

Zheng Wendong took a look and saw the incense burning.

I don’t know whether our ancestors are happy or not.

But those who bowed were secretly competing for a red envelope as a lucky charm.

But you should blame the third daughter-in-law or the second daughter-in-law for being petty.

neither.

When Zheng Wendong looked at his stepfather, he realized that this was the biggest problem.

When children give red envelopes, it is a sign of filial piety.

Smart parents will accept it but won’t reveal the amount.

Children will not compete with each other behind their backs. Even if children do not compete with each other, sisters-in-law will.

But his stepfather opened the banknotes on the spot, and it was clear who gave how much. Zuo Ziwen gave 60, and the second wife got 20.

Just these twenty.

I guess it’s enough for the second brother and his wife to quarrel from this year to next year and start a new round of pocket money.

Zheng Wendong thought to himself, it’s a good thing Su Ying didn’t come.

Then, He Shujun suddenly looked at Zheng Wendong, "Boss, why didn't Su Ying come? I haven't seen her once since we moved."

Zheng Wendong said, "Oh, she wants to come, but I won't let her come. Every extra person on the bus costs extra money. I rely on her to support my family and myself, but she doesn't make much money..."

As he said this, he took out a red envelope from his pocket.

"Mom and Dad, this is for you."

He Shujun's goal is the red envelope.

Take over.

Zuo Ziwen and Ma Xiaoyan seemed to be working, but they were actually watching.

Just like before, Dong Dacheng took it apart.

There was a ten-dollar note and a two-dollar note in it.

The smallest.

Ma Xiaoyan felt that forty was too much and couldn't help but glare at Dong Cai.

Zuo Ziwen felt that this was too shabby.

The two elders ate and drank with the third wife.

The boss just gave me twelve dollars as a deposit and didn't say anything else.

Seeing that the money was so little, Dong Dacheng's expression became much calmer and he started talking about Dong Hua's business.

He Shujun also frowned.

Twelve...

Compared with the two-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments, the difference is huge.

The family took such a large sum of money.

The third brother refused to borrow money to buy a house.

She had some opinions about Zheng Wendong.

So, the old couple deliberately ignored Zheng Wendong and stopped talking about him.

Dong Si saw how deliberate his parents were and frowned.

Zheng Wendong was calm and composed. In his previous life, he might have felt guilty and sorry for his parents for being able to give so little.

But now?

Dong Dacheng and He Shujun are not yet of retirement age.

Why do you need children to support you in your old age?

According to Zheng Wendong, they should work harder.

It is best not to have children to support you in your old age.

Just like what he and Su Ying had planned for Dabao.

Before I had children, I thought supporting my parents was filial piety.

After having a child.

He discovered that Su Ying and he loved Dabao very much.

He loves so much that he feels that the child is not born to provide for old age, but is born because they hope to have the child, not because the child himself wants the child to have the child.

They are the ones who need to take responsibility for the children, but Dabao doesn't want her to bear anything at all.

People still have to get married and have children.

Once you have a child you will realize this clearly.

Your parents don't love you as much as you think. Your biological mom and stepfather only care about their future. Don't be a burden to them. Make money and bring it home. Love them, what the hell?

It’s better to love yourself more.

After the worship, Dong Dacheng took the things and started distributing them to his grandchildren.

Zheng Wendong immediately picked up Dabao, collected the offerings, and said goodbye.

He can read people's faces.

But he would not let his daughter suffer the same treatment as he had suffered before.

Being deliberately treated coldly and biased.
