When Chen Shuqin's family saw this, they immediately pouted and asked, "Why don't they just give me a red envelope?" As for the refusal for so long, besides, the red envelope was wrinkled and torn, so it probably didn't even cost 500 yuan.
Liu Jianye smoked a cigarette and said nothing. He acted very well as a junior official and seemed to disdain talking to the people at the dinner table. As for Ye Jiuzhou's red envelope, in his opinion, it was even more child's play.
Chen Shuqin was thinking about the red envelope in her heart. She felt that given the circumstances of Chen Shuying's family, even if she hugged the Xie family, she would be very generous and just give her a few hundred yuan.
Fortunately, her son was already married, otherwise she would not be angry at Ye Jiuzhou's stingy greeting gift.
Chen Shuqin thought about it, and her heart suddenly became balanced. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Chen Mengmeng running in sweating profusely, with a childish face that turned red, as if something urgent had happened.
"What's wrong with this? It's so frizzy!"
Chen Song glared at Chen Mengmeng, "If I don't help you cook, why are you here again?"
"Dad, that just now..."
Chen Mengmeng looked down at her hands. What she was holding tightly in her hands was the crumpled red envelope.
"Inside this red envelope is... a check."
"Tsk tsk tsk."
As she spoke, Chen Shuqin deliberately made some noises to attract others' attention, and then said:
"I'm talking about Mengmeng. You are a senior in high school and about to go to college. You are so nervous after receiving a tattered red envelope. You are too ignorant of the world, right?"
After Chen Shuqin finished speaking, she looked at her younger brother Chen Song again. This younger brother had been slow in doing things since he was a child. When he grew up, he had no ability. He didn't marry his wife until he was in his thirties, and then gave birth to a girl like Chen Mengmeng. Sure enough, Like father, like daughter, this Chen Mengmeng probably won't accomplish anything big.
Being so frightened by a crumpled red envelope, it is not necessary to get into a prestigious university or a junior college.
"no!"
After hearing what Chen Shuqin said, Chen Mengmeng shook his head repeatedly, "How can it be so little!"
"Huh? How many can there be?"
Chen Mengmeng's reaction made Chen Shulan also curious and asked.
She really wanted to know, that red envelope was crumpled and too small, how many bills could it hold?
And Ye Jiuzhou, who gave the red envelope, was just Xie Zhiqiu's husband who came to visit him. How much money could he have?
"Six, six..."
Chen Mengmeng was so nervous that she almost couldn't say anything bad.
"Only sixty yuan?"
Before Chen Mengmeng could finish speaking, Chen Shuqin interjected, "Zhiqiu, your door-to-door son-in-law is really interesting. These days, I can't even give you a red gift. Why don't you give me sixty? Is it funny?”
"It's sixty-six thousand!"
After hearing what Chen Shuqin said, Chen Mengmeng became very angry and shouted loudly.
When people in the room heard this, they were instantly stunned.
Chen Shuqin, who originally wanted to continue taunting her, opened her mouth wide, but could not pronounce a single syllable.
Liu Jianye took out another Chinese cigarette from the cigarette case and was just about to light it. When his hand shook, it directly burned his chin, causing the pain on his fat face to tremble.
Sixty-six thousand?
Is this a meeting gift or a betrothal gift?
I've never seen anything like this in the news!
When Chen Shuqin's daughter-in-law came, she saw the children and the red envelope was only three to two hundred. Even Chen Shuqin thought it was too much.
Ye Jiuzhou sat in his seat with a calm expression. This amount of money may seem like a lot to others, but in his opinion, it is no different than a few dollars.
"Ye, Ye Jiuzhou, listen to my uncle, this Mengmeng is too big, so don't give me a red envelope. Besides, this red envelope is too, too big!"
Chen Song was red from face to neck, and he kept wiping the sweat on his face with napkins. This much money was his entire year's salary! It was so much as a face-to-face gift, it was so scary!
"This is nothing."
Ye Jiuzhou said calmly, "The college entrance examination is about to take place in a few months. Buy some nutritional supplements. If you don't understand that bit of knowledge, go directly to the provincial capital to find the best cram school. This money should be enough."
After saying that, Ye Jiuzhou smiled at Chen Mengmeng again and said: "Mengmeng, study hard and don't think about anything else. If you get admitted to a prestigious university, my brother-in-law will give you a big gift!"
"this……"
The relatives present all took a breath. Inside a crumpled red envelope was a check for 66,000 yuan. So how much is this big gift package worth?
They knew very well the situation of Chen Shuying's family. How could they have so much money? Unless Ye Jiuzhou himself was a rich man, but wasn't it said that Xie Zhiqiu's husband was just a top soldier?
Chen Shuqin and her husband Liu Jianye looked at each other with expressions as if they had eaten shit. They had no idea why Ye Jiuzhou was so generous.
Ordinarily, they shouldn't. They have a very clear grasp of Chen Shuying's family's wealth.
The family of three now has a son-in-law, Ye Jiuzhou, making them a family of four. Only Xie Zhiqiu works in the Xie Group. It is said that she is squeezed out by the rest of the Xie family, doing the most tiring work and earning the least money.
Their financial resources simply cannot allow Ye Jiuzhou to be so generous!
There may be something fishy here...
Liu Jianye's mung bean eyes flashed with disdain, and he looked at Chen Shuqin. Chen Shuqin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, and then stared at Xie Zhiqiu, looking carefully.
Although she didn't dislike Xie Zhiqiu, she had to say that this niece was really beautiful, pure and charming. How could such a beautiful woman with no money not be remembered by others?
This Xie Zhiqiu must have been supported by some rich boss, and this Ye Jiuzhou just reached an agreement with Xie Zhiqiu to be Xie Zhiqiu's shield!
Xie Zhiqiu naturally didn't know that Ye Jiuzhou casually gave a red coral finger ring and gave Chen Mengmeng a meeting gift. This troubled aunt could actually create a big drama in her mind.
The old lady was staring at the red coral ring in her hand, taking it off to play with, and putting it on her finger. She seemed to like it very much.
I don't know if the old lady is doing it intentionally or not, but she always talks to Chen Shuqin, and she always talks about red coral.
Chen Shuqin was full of disdain, but in front of so many people, she could only say things like "it looks good" with a smile on her face.
The old lady not only asked Chen Shuqin, but also Chen Shulan.
Of course, Chen Shulan also praised the red coral finger ring vigorously. She was very unhappy in her new life. They bought a high-end footbath just to show off at the birthday banquet, but who expected that they would be overwhelmed by the gift from Xie Zhiqiu's family.
Come to think of it, if the old lady has a ring that costs tens of thousands of dollars, why would she go back and look at their footbath that costs several thousand dollars?
The smell of rice came through. Ye Jiuzhou closed his eyes and smelled it, feeling even hungrier.
The morning came in a hurry and he ate much less than usual.
Seeing Ye Jiuzhou's greedy look, Xie Zhiqiu said with a smile: "My aunt's cooking skills are so good! You will definitely like it. I haven't eaten the food cooked by my aunt in several years."
