Dinner table

The old man asked again about the details of the two little ones' 100-day celebration, just in case something was overlooked.

"Have you confirmed the number of relatives from Yi Yi's maternal side?"

We need to send a car to pick up our relatives and friends in the south of the city and arrange their accommodations; we can't be careless.

"It's confirmed. The car and accommodation have been arranged." Lu Yaozong nodded.

"Yaozong and Mengjie, you two be careful not to be impolite and make Yiyi's family feel that we don't value her." The old man glanced at his son and daughter-in-law beside him.

"Okay!" Lu Yaozong replied softly.

"Mengjie, have you prepared the red envelopes for the children's 100-day celebration?" the old lady asked.

"We packed three hundred, the same amount we used for their wedding, twenty packs at a time," Qin Mengjie said hurriedly.

"Make some more, we can't afford to make too many or too few," the old man said.

"Okay! I'll go and pack two hundred more after we finish eating," Qin Mengjie agreed with a smile.

The Tao family members were stunned.

A red envelope contains twenty...

Three hundred red envelopes would amount to six thousand.

That's not enough?!

These days, many people only give ten or twenty yuan as a gift.

They only give twenty yuan in red envelopes to children...

Isn't that a sure way to lose money?!

"Xingning, you should also go and help take care of Ruibao and Qibao as soon as possible. There are many people in the hotel, so make sure no one touches them..." The old lady's gaze shifted to Lu Xingning.

There are always some people who, under the guise of teasing children, pinch and rub a child's face, without caring whether their hands are dirty or not.

When Xiaojiaojiao turned 100 days old, the relatives from He's hometown were in that kind of situation.

A pair of old hands, like withered tree bark, stroked Xiao Jiaojiao's face, and in no time, her fair face turned red.

Those people were elders of the He family. Lu Xingqing and He Yi felt uncomfortable, but they could only keep it to themselves.

"Grandma, don't worry. If anyone dares to touch my Ruibao and Qibao's faces, I'll make them lose face," Lu Xingning promised.

There are some things that adults shouldn't say, but it's easy to say to a "child" like her who doesn't have much sense of propriety!

The old lady, the old man, Lu Yaozong, and Qin Mengjie all gave her an appreciative look at the same time.

After the meal, Qin Mengjie took out money and red paper to make red envelopes.

The bills for the "Great Unity" were all brand new, numbered bills, clearly from stacks of bank withdrawals.

Lu Xingning, Tao Xiaoyue, and Liu Hailan also helped wrap the red envelopes, and the two hundred red envelopes were quickly wrapped.

“My parents are so generous, unlike the Chen family, who only gave a one-yuan red envelope for the full moon celebration.” Lu Xingning helped Qin Mengjie put the red envelope into her handbag.

"I only have two grandsons, Ruibao and Qibao. If I don't spend the money on them, who will I spend it on?" Qin Mengjie said with a smile as she zipped up her handbag.

These are Qin Mengjie's honest thoughts.

Although she advocates for gender equality, in Qin Mengjie's mind, the things in the house belong to her grandson.

"Mom, does this mean you don't want your daughter anymore now that you have a grandson?" Lu Xingning pouted, feigning displeasure.

"With a grandson and a daughter-in-law, why would I need a son or a daughter?" Qin Mengjie scoffed.

"Dad, listen to what Mom is saying. She said that once she has a grandson and a daughter-in-law, she doesn't need sons or daughters anymore." Lu Xingning turned to Lu Yaozong, who was playing chess with his father on the balcony, and complained.

“Your mother’s words make sense!” Lu Yaozong said without even looking up.

"Boys are raised for their daughters-in-law, daughters are raised for their sons-in-law, and in the end, only grandsons and daughters-in-law are truly family."

"According to you, the grandson is still raised by the granddaughter-in-law!" Lu Xingning retorted.

“At least until Ruibao and Qibao get married, they are still ours!” Lu Yaozong picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip, his eyes never leaving the chessboard.

Lu Xingning was speechless.

So, once a son or daughter gets married, they belong to someone else?

The Tao family members felt their hearts sink even deeper as they listened.

They never imagined...

The Lu family is so sexist.

"Wang Ma, has the soup for Yi Yi been simmering yet?" the old lady asked as soon as she came out after checking on the two little ones.

"It's stewing." Wang Ma said with a smile as she came out of the kitchen.

"Go and pick some more corn to cook, it'll taste good when Yiyi wakes up." The old lady looked up at the clock on the wall.

"Just break off one to satisfy her craving, don't give her too much, that stuff is hard to digest if she eats too much," the old man hurriedly said.

"Yes!" Wang Ma responded and jogged to the backyard.

The Tao family's hearts sank once again.

They now realize that the Lu family has no one in their hearts but Lu Yujing and those two little brats.

As for the guy from that small county, he was only there because she was breastfeeding...

They'd seen plenty of families that favored sons over daughters, but this was the first time Tao Yong and Liu Hailan had ever seen a family as blatantly sexist as the Lu family.

Especially the old lady and Qin Mengjie...

That was blatant favoritism.

He really isn't afraid of hurting his daughter's feelings.

As soon as the corn went into the pot, Jian Qingyi and Lu Yujing came out.

“Wang Ma, my sister-in-law and brother are up.” Lu Xingning was the first to see them.

"Okay!" Wang Ma replied from the kitchen.

Then came the soft clattering of pots and pans.

“Sister-in-law, Mom and Dad said that with you, Ruibao, and Qibao around, my brother and I are no longer needed.” Lu Xingning presented the fruit platter to Jian Qingyi.

"It's okay, your sister-in-law will take good care of you from now on." Jian Qingyi reached out and picked three grapes, feeding one to Lu Xingning, one to Lu Yujing, and the last one to herself.

“My sister-in-law is the one who loves me the most in this family.” Lu Xingning snorted coldly at Lu Yujing.

"Sister-in-law, if my brother ever bullies you in the future, I will definitely stand by your side."

"Very good!" Jian Qingyi smiled and patted Lu Xingning on the shoulder, acknowledging her loyalty.

"Lu Xingning, can't you wish me and your sister-in-law a better relationship?" Lu Yujing said with great dissatisfaction.

"He's too busy doting on his young wife to bully her..."

Bully……

He thought of his young wife crying pitifully.

If that counts as bullying.

So he really is...

They're bullying the young wife.

While the group was chatting and laughing, Wang Ma brought out the heated food.

For lunch, I made chestnut and black chicken soup.

Because of consideration for Jian Qingyi's appetite, the soup was prepared to be very light in flavor.

Lu Yujing served his young wife a bowl of soup as soon as he sat down at the table.

"Wife, be careful, it's hot."

While they were talking, Lu Yujing had already started peeling shrimp.

Grass prawns, the king of freshwater prawns, have thin shells and thick meat, with a protein content as high as 20% and a fat content of only 1% or 2%.

Although it's not the peak season for eating grass shrimp right now, the shrimp meat is still firm and sweet.

Jian Qingyi ate several in a row.

Perhaps it's because she's breastfeeding the two little ones, but Jian Qingyi's appetite is now comparable to that of her late pregnancy.

A large bowl of soup, a few prawns about the thickness of a thumb, a small bowl of loofah and tofu, a few pieces of sweet and sour pork ribs, a small dish of stir-fried romaine lettuce, and a small bowl of rice.
