Chapter 68: Conflict Arising?
Jiang Xue was talking with her parents in the room, while outside Bai Yuhua was busy entertaining the guests. As it was the baby’s full month celebration, quite a few people wanted to see the child. With Jiang Xue’s permission, Bai Yuhua brought the people inside.
Soon, the room was crowded with people. Fearing that too many people might affect Father Jiang’s illness, Jiang Xue took them to rest in the adjacent room before the others came in.
Bai Yuhua picked up her grandson from the bed and showed him to everyone. Each person who came to see the baby praised how well he was born while stuffing cash into the baby’s swaddle.
When Jiang Xue returned from the next room, she saw the small swaddle filled with cash.
Jiang Xue watched and didn’t want to accept it, trying to return the money to everyone. But they said, "Jiang Xue, don’t be like this. It’s a tradition. Our red envelopes are for the baby, you just help him keep it."
Hearing everyone say this, Jiang Xue didn’t insist anymore, thanked each of them, and then saw them off.
Bai Yuhua watched from the side and started to smile. She was very pleased with Jiang Xue’s performance. Honestly, although Jiang Xue had changed, she still worried that one day she might revert to her old ways.
Especially since Jiang Xue didn’t really like to socialize, with so many people at once, she feared Jiang Xue might get annoyed.
Fortunately, Jiang Xue did not disappoint her, nor did she bring shame to the Mu family.
As one group left, another group came in. Jiang Xue entertained them one group after another until just before the banquet was to start, and the visitors gradually dwindled.
