Chapter 109 – Red Envelope (2/2)

Zhao Yanyan gave Yu Ting and Liu Yue a cue, then said quietly, “Quickly call mom!”

“Mom!” Liu Yue and Yu Ting said together with a blush.

“Good! Good! You’re all my good daughters-in-law. Here’s a red envelope each! Everybody has one!” With that, she took out four red envelopes from her pocket and handed one to everyone.

The four girls did not lack money, but the meaning behind this red envelope was different, so all of them received it excitedly then bowed towards my mom, “Thank you, popo!”

Then, all of them carefully put the red envelopes in their pockets.

I really suspect that they actually practiced this beforehand.

“Mom, where’s my red envelope?” I said with a troubled expression.

“Yours? There isn’t anymore!” said my mom.

“I used to have it every year before!” I still didn’t give up. Although I didn’t care about it, all of the four girls had one, so if I didn’t, that truly is embarrassing!

“Yeah, you were supposed to this year as well, but who let you add an extra person in last minute, so I gave yours out!” My mom replied innocently.

I sweat! This really is trouble brought upon myself! I finally had a taste of my own medicine.

February 15th 1999, it was Chinese New Years eve.

All four girls took the initiative to help my mom in the kitchen to prepare the dinner. Actually they didn’t have to do much since the servants in our home already did all of it. However, cooking was a woman’s instinct, so they all wanted to go and join in.

Not long later, a large table full of dishes was prepared.

My dad looked at the table full of people, then couldn’t help but exclaim quietly, “Liu Lei! It’s not good if you continue like this, should we change this table to a larger one next year?”

My dad’s words caused me to blush, but since some things have already happened, I can no longer stop it.

“Say, Liu Lei, I heard Yanyan say that you seem to still have someone outside, right?” My mom said with a sullen expression. “What exactly do you want to do? You already have so many beautiful and good girls, do you still not have enough?”

“Mom, I can’t help it!” I said forcefully.

“I don’t care, I’m telling you, if you add any more, I won’t welcome them next year!” My mom said.

I know that my mom was just saying things, if there was a few more, my mom wouldn’t be able to harden her heart to kick them out.

Zhao Yanyan giggled when she saw me. In response to this, I could only pretend like I didn’t see her.

“Mom! Just don’t scold Liu Lei now, actually I have responsibilities as well. He has my permission!” said Zhao Yanyan.

Seeing Zhao Yanyan like that, my mom could only sigh and said, “It’s just because that you’re too loose with him that he is doing whatever he wants!”
