Liu Xiaoru didn't expect that there would be such a sudden fortune on the Dragon Boat Festival.

She took the 100 taels of silver and divided it on the spot. She and Zhang Yunniang each took 30 taels, and Niu Niu got 40 taels. This distribution method was completely based on the share of the shop.

"Thanks to Niu Niu's reminder, I didn't think of suing the officials, otherwise I would have no silver. I will give Niu Niu another 10 taels of silver as a thank you." Liu Xiaoru took the initiative to mention it, and was about to take out a 10-tael silver note and give it to Niu Niu.

Zhang Yunniang directly stopped Liu Xiaoru from trying every means to give money to Niu Niu. .

"This is also Niu Niu's shop. It's her duty to do something. Don't think of giving her money for a reason."

Liu Xiaoru saw that she failed to give money, and she immediately looked regretful.

Niu Niu raised her hand and wanted to give the money to Zhang Yunniang for safekeeping.

Zhang Yunniang smiled and said, "You keep it for yourself."

After Niuniu learned that she could freely dispose of such a large sum of money, she did not save it like a lucky money. She said to her family members generously on the spot: "Go shopping? I'll treat you!"

Liu Xiaoru squatted down and teased Niuniu deliberately, saying, "I don't want a child to treat me."

Niuniu asked very seriously, "Doesn't Aunt Liu like me?"

Liu Xiaoru immediately asked, "Why do you say that? How could I not like Niuniu? I like Niuniu the most."

Niuniu tilted her head and said seriously, "My mother said that any relationship can only last if there is give and take. Aunt Liu treats me well, and I treat Aunt Liu well, so that we can always be very good friends."

When Liu Xiaoru heard this, her heart seemed to be gently burned by something.

Zhang Yunniang patted her gently and said, "The child is filial, so why should we, as elders, stop him?"

Gu Zhao had been listening to them with his ears perked up. When he heard Zhang Yunniang's statement, he immediately asked, "Mom, do you really agree to my sister's treat?"

Zhang Yunniang nodded gently.

Gu Zhao immediately looked happy and began to calculate what he wanted: "I want to buy sugar figures, sugar paintings..."

But then she said, "You are not allowed to buy anything worth more than ten cents, and you are not allowed to buy sugar! Do you still want your teeth?"

Gu Zhao immediately made a bitter face and whispered, "Mom is so stingy."

Zhang Yunniang raised her hand and knocked on her youngest son's forehead.

Niuniu walked in front with a large silver note, and she walked out with the momentum of the richest person in Guang'an County.

"This dress has two colors, pink for Aunt Liu and light green for my mother!" Niuniu said to the boss lady in the ready-made clothing shop with her head held high.

The boss lady still remembered Niuniu. They had bought spring clothes in her store before.

"Niuniu, you have to pay for things. Do you have money?" The boss lady asked with a smile.

The richest Niuniu looked back at her family behind her and said with high spirits: "I have money! I want to buy clothes for the whole family!"

Liu Xiaoru didn't want to take advantage of this. She wanted to buy cheap clothes. But Niuniu fell in love with the most eye-catching dress in the store at first sight. She almost rolled on the ground and insisted that she try it on.

Zhang Yunniang advised again: "The child is really filial, just accept it."

Liu Xiaoru covered her chest and said: "I can't bear to let her spend too much money, I always feel uneasy."

Zhang Yunniang understood her mentality very well and said: "It's okay to get used to it. Although we are elders, elders are also people. They also want to wear beautiful clothes and eat delicious food. If everything good is left to the younger generation, over time, they will think that the elders are not worthy of enjoying good things."

Zhang Yunniang's words are undoubtedly contrary to the mainstream concept.

When people mention their parents, they always talk about how they have worked hard and how they have sacrificed for their children, but rarely face their side as human beings.

"The younger generation is really filial, and the elders are happy to accept it. This is considered complete filial piety." Zhang Yunniang said.

Zhang Yunniang's two-way filial piety concept fell into Liu Xiaoru's ears like a deafening sound.

Niuniu not only bought clothes for them, but also for grandparents and Gu Mingda who was not there.

But when she was about to buy clothes for her two brothers, Zhang Yunniang stopped her and said, "Your father and I will buy clothes for your brothers, you just buy some snacks for them."

Zhang Yunniang calculated very clearly, snacks are only a few cents, but a set of clothes is not cheap. Gu Yan and Gu Zhao are not as well-off as Niuniu, and the two brothers can't come up with gifts of equal value. It's better not to let them accept such an expensive gift from their sister.

Zhang Yunniang thinks that respecting elders and respecting brothers are two different things. She still remembers Liu Erni's affairs, and doesn't want to raise her daughter to be the kind of person who only wants to help her brothers. She is also afraid that her sons will get used to taking advantage of their sisters and become useless brothers.

Niu Niu whispered, "But my brothers usually take good care of me, I want to buy them clothes."

Zhang Yunniang touched her daughter's hair and whispered, "You bought new clothes for your brothers, they will definitely want to buy you new clothes, they have to empty their wallets to afford it, your eldest brother has no money to buy his favorite books, your third brother has no money to buy snacks, isn't it pitiful?"

"I can buy them books and snacks, I have a lot of money." Niu Niu said.

Zhang Yunniang smiled and said, "I just praised you for your good memory, and you forgot what you just said? Any relationship is give and take, and it can't last long if only one party continues to give."

Niuniu was immediately dejected, sighed heavily, and said: "When it comes to the people you like, you just want to be good to them. If you see what you want, you should give it to them. How can you think about how much you get."

Zhang Yuniang does not want her daughter to develop the habit of giving casually. She understands better than anyone else that if a woman wants to live well in this world, the most important thing is to have a clear mind.

Niuniu suddenly raised her head, looked at Zhang Yunniang, and whispered: "Mom, you must like me very much. When you took me home, you never seemed to think about getting anything."

Zhang Yuniang was startled when she heard this.

Niu Niu added: "Although Mom has never asked me to do anything, I must be very, very good to Mom. Niu Niu likes Mom the most!"

Zhang Yuniang could never stand her daughter's sweet words. After listening to these words, she wanted to buy all the good things she saw and give them to Niu Niu.

Niu Niu spent money to buy clothes for her elders. Mrs. Gu did not expect to receive Niu Niu's filial piety so soon.

She put on the newly bought ready-made clothes on the spot, and said to almost everyone she met: "Have you seen this dress of mine? My little granddaughter bought it. She is a filial child. I want her to spend less money and she will pay her back." I’m not happy, there’s really nothing I can do about her!”

Liu Xiaoru only felt funny when she saw Mrs. Gu's behavior, but she did not hesitate to give in. Every time she met an acquaintance, she would show off the new clothes she was carrying, and then explain calmly: "My sweet baby bought it for me. I don't want it even if I don't want it."

Then she would reveal the golden sheep pendant around her neck and show off again: "Guobao won this for me specially."

Even the stupid old man Gu would pull on his new clothes and emphasize in a vague voice: "New clothes... Niuniu... Niuniu bought them!"

The whole family went to the market in a grand way and arrived at the old place.

Niuniu's eyes suddenly lit up. She pointed to the Guanpu stall not far away, where many people gathered around her, and asked Zhang Yunniang: "Mom, it's a holiday today, can I play?"

Gu Zhao was also very excited and joined the Waimao team on the spot; "Mom, I want to play too, and I also want to get good things for you!"

Mrs. Gu also looked moved and said, "Mother Yun, it's the festival. If the children want to play, let them play. At worst, let them use their own money."

Zhang Yunniang glanced at everyone. Liu Xiaoru was already looking at the stall with half of her body. Even the young and mature Gu Yan had a look of emotion on his face at this time.

"Children can only play three times with their own money." Zhang Yunniang said helplessly.

Niu Niu let out a cheer on the spot.

Gu Zhao had a sad face, because he had already spent all his money, so he could only borrow money pitifully from his brother and sister.

After borrowing the money, Gu Zhao started shaking again and said to Niu Niu: "Niu Niu, look at what you want, and I'll win it back for you!"

As soon as the Gu family squeezed into the crowd, they saw the familiar two brothers at the stall.

The stall owner, who is the elder brother, took out a gold hairpin and said: "Twenty cents a time! Don't miss it when you pass by! You only need twenty cents to take away this gold hairpin worth five taels!"

As soon as the stall owner finished shouting, he turned around and saw Niu Niu who had squeezed to the front. He instantly recalled the painful past and was so frightened that he almost closed the stall and ran away!
