Chapter 171: Take Care, God of Wealth!
Visitors to the old courtyard weren’t just Liu Sanjin’s relatives, but also Lu Lanhua and Lu Miaomiao, particularly Lu Lanhua who felt like sitting on pins and needles. She was anxious to find Shen Meng, but Liu Sanjin was busy showing off his two daughters, his son, and daughter-in-law, making it difficult for her to leave.
Finally, when everyone had arrived and there was some free time, she quickly grabbed the gifts she brought and headed to Shen Meng’s house.
Lu Mingyang’s children spread their hands to show their loot from this gathering. Not bad, they threw tantrums and said auspicious words, and finally got some spending money, quite a bit actually, 20 cents each. That was pretty good, as most families would make their kids thrilled with just a penny.
"Alright, keep this money, and you can decide what you want to buy next time you go to the county with mom. Just put all of it away. Don’t carry it on you, in case your father doesn’t check your pockets when doing laundry and accidentally washes it!"
"Yay, thank you, mom, I’ll save it, and buy you a roasted pancake when we go to the county."
"I’ll buy mom some meat."
"I’ll also save, to buy mom a silk scarf, a very beautiful one, bright pink, really vivid."
Shen Meng: "..."
Thank you, my dear son, but is bright pink too garish? There seems to be something off with your aesthetic, my boy.
The warmth was still present when Lu Lanhua, clutching cans, pork, malted milk, and shortbread candies, hurriedly knocked on the door.
