The Stepmother’s Counterattack: Raising a Child in a Bygone Era

Zhou Hui said this while carefully watching Zhao Dafa’s expression.

Seeing no reaction from Zhao Dafa, she pretended to joke, "If one didn’t know better, they might think you picked this time on purpose to wait for us to visit."

Zhao Dafa also laughed, "According to you, Mingzhu must be a master fortune teller who precisely predicted our visit on the first day of the new year."

Zhou Hui glanced back at Zhao Yun behind her, "Maybe Xiaoyun let something slip."

"Auntie Hui, you can’t wrong me like that. I went to bed early last night and only woke up when you guys were about to leave this morning."

"Besides, it’s just two red envelopes. My dad doesn’t lack this little bit; look how upset you are about it."

Zhao Yun directly called out Zhou Hui’s thoughts, not giving her any face.

Zhou Hui laughed awkwardly searching for an excuse, "You child, that’s not what I meant. It’s just strange to chat with your dad about it, just don’t go telling Ziheng about this."

Zhao Yun rolled her eyes, "I’m not as brainless as Liang Xiaowen. Plus, Ziheng is my sworn brother. I’d happily give all my New Year’s money to him."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Hui internally cursed the stepson for being a brainless dummy, easily coaxed into splashing out money, and continued jokingly, "Then would you spend your New Year’s money on Xiaowen?"
