Noticing the strange looks from others, Old Man Luo was furious. He would not have given the dead girl a red envelope if he had known! The village chief and the others were watching. He did it for outsiders to see. He wanted to save face, but ended up losing face instead.

Seeing Luo Yue opening the red envelope in public, Old Man Luo reached out to hold it down but it was too late.

When the red paper was opened, there was only a one-dollar bill inside. Everyone looked at Old Man Luo with a hint of contempt.

One dollar was prepared for the children in the village who were not related to the family. After all, they came empty-handed, just said a happy new year and left.

In order to have a son, every household has at least two children. Under the threat of fines for having more than one child, it is normal to have three or four children. Although one dollar is little, it cannot offset the large number of children.

But for his own grandchildren, he would only give ten yuan or even fifty yuan.

Five dollars is too little, and my son and daughter-in-law will despise me if I give it to them.

But old man Luo only gave one dollar to his own granddaughter who came to visit him during the New Year. He was really stingy.

"Why is there only one dollar? Grandpa took the wrong one." In order to save face, Old Man Luo snatched the bill from Luo Yue's hand and handed him a twenty-dollar bill.

"Thank you, Grandpa." Luo Yue took it with a smile on her face and put it back in her pocket. She looked around and asked, "Where's my uncle?"

"He drove to the hospital and will be back in the afternoon." The old woman's test results should be out. Old man Luo thought to himself that it would be best if he died tomorrow and let her make trouble with him!

After receiving the red envelope and since her uncle was not around, Luo Yue left decisively.

Chenjiacun.

Early in the morning, Chen Guangzong came to his parents' home and sat in the low and dim main room, with a lingering musty smell lingering around his nose.

The house is dilapidated. When it rains heavily outside and lightly inside, it is normal to have a musty smell. If it is the rainy season, the house will be flooded.

Chen Guangzong sat back in his chair with his legs crossed on the table, frowning impatiently: "Why hasn't Xiaoyue come to pay New Year's greetings yet?" It was the first time he got up so early, just to wait for Luo Yue to come and pay New Year's greetings and ask about the Luo family's sixth son's wealth.

Granny Chen walked to the door and looked outside, then turned back to look at him, "We didn't help your sister before, will she still hold a grudge against us for this?"

"How dare she!" Old Man Chen scolded fiercely, "How dare a little girl have such a temper!"

"That's right!" Chen Guangzong echoed, "A money-loser is so rebellious, right? My uncle is more important than anything else. If she dares not to come and pay New Year's greetings, I'll show you how I'll deal with her."

The three of them waited and waited, watching the time pass by little by little.

Chen Guangzong, who couldn't stand it any longer, suddenly stood up and kicked over the chair, "What a stupid girl! How dare she not come to pay New Year's greetings?!"

Mrs. Chen, who had been standing at the door, suddenly shouted, "Here they come! Here they come!"

Chen Guangzong immediately picked up the chair that had fallen to the ground and sat back, assuming a triumphant posture.

Mrs. Chen also went back into the house and found a chair to sit down. She couldn't let her granddaughter see that she had been waiting at the door. Suddenly she remembered something and blamed her, "I saw the child when she came. She had nothing in her hands!"

Chen Guangzong's face darkened immediately when he heard this, "Then don't let her in."

Old man Chen's lack of objection meant he acquiesced.

Mrs. Chen hesitated: "Isn't this bad? Your brother-in-law is dead, your sister has been arrested, and Xiaoyue lives alone. It's hard for her to study. How can she have money to buy things?"
