The family sat around a big round table and ate glutinous rice balls and dumplings. After the meal, Old Mrs. Su gave each of her grandchildren 30 copper coins.

Normally, the villagers would give each person a red envelope of only one or two copper coins, but Old Mrs. Su thought that since she had the money, she couldn't let her grandchildren down.

Su Muyao and her brothers kowtowed to their grandparents and wished them a happy new year. After she and her brother returned to the house, they kowtowed to their own parents and received some New Year's money.

But before the money could even warm up in his hands, his mother grabbed it and said, "Take out your New Year's money. I'll keep it for you. If you lose it outside, you won't have anywhere to cry."

Su Mingxuan immediately refused: "It won't fall off, I can keep it myself."

Su Muyao also nodded in agreement, "It won't fall off, I will hide it."

"What if it falls? Mommy will fill your pockets with candies and snacks, okay? You kids don't spend money anyway."

Wang Taoxiu was still coaxing the two little kids in front of her, but in fact she mainly wanted to take the money from Su Mingxuan.

But you can't be so obvious as to accept only sons and not daughters.

In fact, she knew that the one-year-old baby in front of her had a special place to store things, so she would definitely not lose them.

"No, no," Su Mingxuan said as he struggled hard to escape from his mother's clutches.

Seeing this, Su Sanlang said with a smile: "Let them go, it's just a few coppers."

Wang Taoxiu knew that her husband had said so, so she didn't want to force it anymore and just turned around and glared at Su Sanlang.

We had another rich dinner in the evening and the children ran around the village.

Su Muyao looked at what was in front of her and felt very warm.

The next day, Wang Taoxiu and Su Sanlang took the two little ones back to her parents' home to pay New Year's greetings.

Wangjia Village is not far from Taoliu Village, but it is not close either, about ten miles away.

Su Sanlang specially chartered an ox cart from the Daniu family at the entrance of the village and took them to Wangjia Village.

Ever since I brought my daughter home, I have never brought her home to see my parents. This time, I must let them take a good look at her.

"My dear, we are going to see your grandpa, grandma and your three uncles."

Su Muyao's eyes widened. She actually had three uncles.

When Wang Taohua was at home, she was also spoiled by her parents. She had three older brothers and she was the only girl.

The two elders of the Wang family knew that their daughter and son-in-law would definitely come back today, and they had been standing at the door waiting for them.

It was not until he saw an ox cart slowly coming towards him that he could see clearly that the people sitting on the cart were his son-in-law and daughter.

The old lady of the Wang family hurried over to greet them.

"Oh, my little grandson."

Old Mrs. Wang picked up her little grandson from the ox cart and put him in her arms.

Just when her peripheral vision accidentally drifted into her son-in-law's arms, holding a baby, her eyes widened.

"Girl, this is"

"Mom, this is your granddaughter, she is just one year old this year."

Old Mrs. Wang suddenly felt that the chubby grandson in her arms was no longer attractive.

He simply took Su Mingxuan from his arms and put him back into Wang Taoxiu's arms.

"Oh, my baby, come, grandma, hold me."

Su Muyao sweetly called the kind old lady in front of her "Grandma"

"Oh my, look at this sweet-mouthed baby, she is really her grandmother's sweetheart."

Su Muyao was fascinated by this kind old lady who called her "Baoer" every time.

He hugged Old Lady Wang's neck and laughed.

"Old woman, please take your little granddaughter back to the house quickly. It's freezing cold outside."

"Yeah, that's right."

The old lady with bound feet walked into the house with the little baby in her arms.

Su Sanlang and Wang Taoxiu followed behind with big baskets and small bags, distributing gifts to their brother, sister-in-law, and several nephews and nieces.

"Sister-in-law, use this yellow cloth to make a floral dress for my niece."

"Brother, when the time comes, ask your sister-in-law to make you two new sets of clothes."

In addition, Wang Taoxiu gave each sister-in-law a new pair of shoes she embroidered herself and clothes for her little nephews.

This time, it was the most generous return gift I had ever received since I got married.

The brothers and sisters-in-law were also satisfied, at least they knew that their little sister was living well there, otherwise she would not have been able to bring back so many things.

The sisters-in-law also felt much more comfortable. In the past, they had to support their sister-in-law themselves, but they never expected that there would be times when the sister-in-law would come back with so many things.

Old man Wang looked at the things his daughter brought back and became a little angry. "What will your mother-in-law think if you bring so many in-laws back? What did I teach you? When you get married, you have to consider your in-laws in everything, and you can't think about your own family all the time."

Su Sanlang, who was standing nearby, quickly came over to smooth things over. "This is what my mother prepared. Recently, our family has made some money from finding herbs, and we have saved some money. We plan to send a few children to the academy in the spring."

When Old Man Wang heard this, he slapped his thigh and said, "Great! It's a good thing to send the child to school. Your parents are really open-minded."

Old Lady Wang looked at the new clothes her daughter brought for her and patted her hands, "Taoxiu, why did you buy these materials? I am an old woman with the earth buried up to my neck, how can I use such good new clothes and new materials?"

"Pooh, pooh, pooh, mother, stop saying that. How can you live to be a hundred years old but not wear new clothes and new materials?"

Su Laosan next to him also echoed.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Taoxiu took out two taels of silver from her bag and said, "Mom, this is your son-in-law's gift to you as a token of filial piety."

When Old Lady Wang saw that it was actually two taels of silver, her eyes widened and she quickly waved her hand.

"Why are you giving me so much money? I'm not going anywhere. There's no need to spend money. You can keep the money to buy food for the two little kids."

"Put it away quickly. This is your son-in-law, who is filial to you. There is no reason for you to not want him. The two little ones have plenty to eat. Mother-in-law often buys snacks for them, and they have become picky eaters."

Old Mrs. Wang couldn't persuade her daughter, so she finally accepted it.

However, when I thought that my daughter's life seemed to be better now, I was happy for her from the bottom of my heart.

To be honest, my husband and I didn't like the Su family's mistress.

It’s not for any other reason, it’s just that their family conditions are average, and my own family is not much different from theirs.

But after all, she is the daughter that he has spoiled himself with. He thinks that since she is pretty, he must marry her to someone with better conditions.

I just don’t know how they fell in love with each other, but she was determined to marry Su Sanlang. There was nothing I could do, so I just let her go.

Fortunately, after marriage, Su Sanlang treated his daughter well, and the old couple were relieved.

Old Mrs. Wang went into the room, took out a red envelope that she had prepared long ago, prepared another one, and then took the two red envelopes out and handed them to the two little kids.

“Thank you, Grandma.”
