Chapter 173 - 73: Her Space Is Not for Show
Shen Meng watched Wu Xianglan thanking her and couldn’t help but laugh; she wasn’t doing this for them after all. She feigned a cough and gently shook Lu Lanhua’s arm.
"Wow, Lanhua, you really are the best. That’s why, with you as their aunt, the kids will never suffer in the future. Yongqiang and Yongli have gotten theirs, so Xiao Gang and Ni can’t be left out. We can’t ignore them just because they’re young. Here, you give it to me, and I’ll bring it to them later."
The people from the Liu Family breathed a sigh of relief seeing Shen Meng sticking to Lu Lanhua.
Zhou Jiaojiao and Lu Jiaxuan frowned as they watched Shen Meng acting like this; they really looked down upon her shameless behavior, their eyes full of contempt. So, when Shen Meng’s gaze turned to them, Zhou Jiaojiao simply pulled out four yuan from her pocket - three yuan for Shen Meng, and one for Wu Xianglan.
"This New Year’s gift money was already prepared, just waiting to give to the kids on the first day of the new year. I didn’t expect the elder sister-in-law to be so impatient. Here, take it. Not to be blunt, but elder sister-in-law, you’re about to go work in the city, you should care about your image. Don’t embarrass our big brother."
"Heh, thank you so much, the children’s Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt. What’s this to me? With so many kids at home, there are even more expenses that keep me up at night. You two thinking of the kids shows you still have a conscience. After all, Jiaxuan contributed to getting the job at the commune, and your big brother helped out too, that’s a fact, right?"
Zhou Jiaojiao choked on her words, and Lu Jiaxuan’s face changed color, his grip on the chopsticks turning white.
Lu Changzhu watched with a cold eye as Shen Meng went around asking for New Year’s gift money, not daring to say a word. According to Shen Meng’s temperament, she would never do such a thing. She used to care so much about her image. She must be doing this on Zhenping’s instructions, and she might even be watching his reaction. It had been a long time since he had seen his son give him a smile, and at this moment, he felt that he should contribute.
