Since he can pick it up, then let him pick it up.

Mu Xiaowan looked at her hand and played the different single card.

Every time it's Mu Xiaowan's turn, as long as it's not the same type of card he just threw out, she'll pick it up. Sometimes, if she has extra cards, she'll play them out.

She keeps going back and forth like this, and no one else can make their hand work, nor can anyone figure out what she's holding.

There are three types of tiles, named the same as in Mahjong. Each player has nine tiles. If a player draws a new tile that they need, they win. If someone else plays the tile they need, they also win.

The old lady, Chu Shaoting, and An Muxue all stared at Mu Xiaowan, annoyed that she was playing recklessly and making it impossible for them to win.

They were terrified that Mu Xiaowan would win this round.

But they were afraid they couldn't get past it; Mu Xiaowan won.

Of course, how would Mu Xiaowan know whether she would win or not?

She wouldn't have known if Jiang Yinglan hadn't reminded her.

Mu Xiaowan glared at Chu Junbai, who had been standing behind her the whole time without saying a word.

Chu Junbai looked completely innocent.

Mu Xiaowan twitched the corners of her mouth, still having the nerve to act innocent.

“Let’s continue!” An Muxue blinked, feigning mischief. “Auntie, you can’t tell Xiaowan anymore, she’s so smart!”

"Sister-in-law is trying to win my money. I don't understand the rules, so no matter how smart I am, I'm still clueless."

Mu Xiaowan was forced to participate in the event, and she was prepared to lose, so she was carefree and played however she wanted. She didn't care about winning or losing, so she was naturally relaxed.

In contrast, An Muxue had exquisite makeup, was dressed in designer brands, and gently stroked the cards with her slender fingers, her eyes full of confidence.

She was a regular at the card table, and every time she played cards with the old lady, she could make the old lady very happy.

Even after losing the game, she could still say a few words to cheer up the old lady.

Therefore, when An Muxue won the game, Old Madam Chu couldn't help but praise her.

"Mu Xue, you're such a smart child. Your card skills are getting better and better. No wonder I watched you grow up." As she spoke, she couldn't help but glance at Mu Xiaowan, her disdain in her eyes was obvious.

An Muxue covered her mouth and chuckled, "Grandma, you flatter me. I was just lucky." Chu Shaoting chimed in, "That's right, sister-in-law is really good at cards. She'll definitely win a lot later."

Mu Xiaowan didn't refute, and continued, "Sister-in-law, you're really something. It looks like my wallet is doomed. You'd better go easy on me."

An Muxue subconsciously put on an arrogant expression again.

But no one expected that the subsequent course of the game would completely surprise everyone. Every time Mu Xiaowan played her cards, seemingly without any strategy, she always managed to accidentally come up with a good hand.

She won her first hand in no time.

"Oh dear, I... I don't know how it happened."

Mu Xiaowan looked surprised and a little embarrassed.

An Muxue's smile froze on her face instantly, and Old Madam Chu's expression also changed slightly. Only Chu Shaoting still managed to say, "This is just the beginning. There will be plenty of opportunities later."

But in the following rounds of the game, Mu Xiaowan seemed to have a cheat code, winning one hand after another. Old Madam Chu's brows furrowed more and more, and she instructed Jiang Yinglan to make some tea, seemingly trying to dispel her displeasure.

Jiang Yinglan's lips curled into a slightly mocking smile.

"Mom, I'll go."

Chu Zhihui was very sensible; she knew that her grandmother was deliberately making things difficult for her mother because her second sister-in-law had won the game.

Why doesn't she order her second aunt around?

Besides, there was clearly tea on the table.

An Muxue bit her lip tightly, her nails digging into her palms.

"How is this possible? Xiao Wan, you wouldn't have secretly learned card skills and deliberately kept it a secret to fool us!" An Muxue finally couldn't help but question Mu Xiaowan.

Mu Xiaowan waved her hand aggrievedly: "Sister-in-law, I really don't know how. I was just randomly hitting and got lucky."

Chu Shaoting chimed in sarcastically, "Hmph, no matter how lucky you are, you can't win all the time. Who knows what tricks you might have used?"

Chu Junbai said coldly, "Grandpa is here too. With so many people watching, and facing you veterans, what tricks can Xiao Wan play? She can't even afford to lose this little bit of money. Playing cards is all about character. Shaoting, you can be willful at home, but no one will indulge you when you're out in the world."

Chu Shaoting was afraid of Chu Junbai, so she pouted and dared not say anything more.

Chu Shaoze put his arm around An Muxue's shoulder and said affectionately, "The most important thing about playing cards is to have fun. Don't be afraid of losing money to me. This game is all about luck, so it's not your fault."

Instead of being comforted, An Muxue became even angrier.

Why is it that her luck and fortune are not as good as Mu Xiaowan's?

As the game drew to a close, Old Mrs. Chu, her face ashen with defeat, pushed her cards away and said, "I'm not playing anymore, I'm not playing anymore. My luck today has been absolutely terrible."

Seeing this, An Muxue immediately turned her attention to Mu Xiaowan: "Xiaowan, you're really serious. Why don't you know how to let your grandma win? You have to consider who you're playing cards with. It's the New Year, filial piety is the most important thing. You only know how to win, and you've won all of your grandma's money."

Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaowan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law's words have taught me a lot, and I will keep them in mind! I was just too stupid and didn't know how to play cards, so I focused all my attention on the cards and didn't pay attention to anything else."

Mu Xiaowan returned the money to the old lady. "Grandma, my sister-in-law just said that playing cards isn't fun if you don't talk about winning or losing, and I can't spoil everyone's fun. But what you said makes a lot of sense. How can I take Grandma's money?"

Mu Xiaowan turned her head, smiling at An Muxue with a sincere expression, "I know that my sister-in-law is filial and will definitely give me this money on behalf of Grandma. If I don't take it, you'll say that the fun isn't worth it. If I take it all, it would be a bit mean and heartless, so sister-in-law, just give me a symbolic amount. I can't spoil everyone's fun during the New Year."

Upon hearing this, An Muxue was speechless. How could Mu Xiaowan be so shameless?

The whole family was taken aback by Mu Xiaowan's move and were at a loss for words.

Chu Shaoqing, always eager for a good show, said, "Second sister-in-law, eldest sister-in-law is well-off and so filial, how could she possibly shortchange you?"

Bai Jiao'e glared fiercely at her son.

An Muxue reluctantly took out the money. Although the money was nothing to her, she couldn't swallow her pride.

Who does she think she is, daring to boss people around like that?

Looking at them, Mu Xiaowan felt relaxed and happy. She handed the money to Chu Shaoqing and Chu Zhihui, saying, "You two are the youngest in the family, so don't think this is too little. Consider it my pocket money."

Chu Shaoqing and Chu Zhihui accepted the gift and thanked her together, "Thank you, sister-in-law!"

Mu Xiaowan won nearly twenty yuan, and she handed it to the two people without even blinking, leaving everyone stunned once again.

They had initially thought Mu Xiaowan was heartless, but it seems she was right.

An Muxue was furious.

Jiang Yinglan grew increasingly fond of her daughter-in-law.

Under the dim light, Chu Junbai's eyes also became sticky.
