Chapter 455: Chapter 152: The Embarrassed Yanfei’s Mom is Generous when Rich (Subscription Requested)_2

While saying this, he pulled out a fifty cents, swaying from another pocket towards his mother with a boastful smile, "Did you see? This is fifty cents! One of these can be exchanged for five of yours!"

Hence, Yanfei’s mom became even more embarrassed. When did this kid learn to recognize money?

The little guy didn’t mention how proud he was, he continued to show off: "One dime can only buy two White Rabbit Creamy Candies, my fifty cents can buy ten. Two fifty cents is one yuan, one hundred of one yuan is a hundred yuan. You want to exchange my two hundred yuan notes with thirty cents, no way!"

Yanfei’s father looked at his triumphant young son, then at his eldest son and future daughter-in-law who were quietly laughing together, his face full of satisfaction: one son was smart and calculating at a young age; one son can make money and became a little nouveau riche; he also has a future daughter-in-law who can attend university and teach his younger son - he didn’t think the little guy learned all these from Yan Fei, it must be the future daughter-in-law’s effort.

In the end, he almost burst into laughter looking at the awkward Yanfei’s mom.

Even more embarrassed was Miss Xu Xiaoyan. Facing her future mother-in-law, she wanted to laugh but was too shy, so she had to hold it in. Unable to suppress her laughter any longer, the joyful Yan Fei had to suffer. This lady, in order to hold back her laughter, was secretly pinching Yan Fei’s thigh hard...

The little guy was getting more and more excited, revealing his calculation inadvertently: "Our tuition fee is only ten yuan. One of my hundred yuan notes can be exchanged for ten ten-yuan notes. When I give one to the teacher, the teacher will have to give me change..."

As he spoke, he began to calculate, using his fingers to figure out how much is left after subtracting one from ten. One hand was not enough, so he put the fifty cents in his pocket and started counting with both hands alternately. Then he lifted up his head, looking delighted: "I give one to the teacher, the teacher will have to give me back nine!"

Then he turned his head to Xu Xiaoyan: "Sister-in-law, did I calculate correctly?"

Xu Xiaoyan, her face red, nodded: "Yes, Xiaochao is very smart!"

The little guy then tilted his head back, filled with pride: "I can now calculate money, and mom wants to trick me out of what’s mine! One of my bills could afford more than ten catties of beef, more than twenty catties of pork, and quite a few catties of off-season vegetables, even a couple of big pots of wine! With your thirty cents, you can’t buy anything. Hmph!"

Indeed, his abilities have grown during this New Year celebration - off-season was just too hard for him to pronounce, so he said anti-qi instead.

Yanfei’s mom was both pleased and helpless: "You must keep it safe then, or else you’ll get your butt beaten if you lose it."

The little guy achieved victory, boasting: "Don’t worry! This is enough money to buy my White Rabbit Creamy Candy for a very long time, I definitely won’t lose it!"

The family suddenly found this to be quite hilarious.

Reality proves that no matter how crafty a fox is, he can’t beat the hunter.

Yanfei’s mom didn’t end up forcefully taking his two hundred yuan. Instead, before lunch, she took out the new clothes she bought for the little guy in the county town and shouted to him: "It’s the New Year, you need to change into new clothes, come here and let mom put on your new clothes."

As he was playing around, the little guy instantly rushed over in high spirits: "To wear new clothes!"

The little fellow was so focused on his awesome new clothes that he completely forgot about the money in his old clothes. Now, everything was taken in one fell swoop.

No one knows when he’ll remember about the money. But once he does, it’s likely he won’t get a chance to enjoy the joy of ’being rich’ again, because Miss Xu Xiaoyan, who had been waiting here until almost lunchtime, had gone home!

She needed to return home for the New Year as well; a girl who wasn’t married off yet couldn’t celebrate New Year’s at someone else’s house!

When his future daughter-in-law left, the little guy lost his guardian. If he continued to make trouble, he wouldn’t get away with it. Considering Yanfei’s mom’s patience, if soft methods didn’t work, she’d likely resort to tough ones...

The rest of the days was spent joyfully celebrating the New Year!

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, they went to the cemetery to offer money to the ancestors. On the second day, they went to visit maternal relatives. Starting from the third day, based on the distance and closeness of various relatives, they started visiting each family one by one.

Yan Fei, standing next to his parents, looked more formidable than his father, but even though he was still unmarried due to his young age, he still received New Year’s money. Ten bucks, eight bucks, no amount was too large, three cents, five cents, no amount was too small, he accepted everything.

Starting from last year, he stopped having his mother ’take care’ of his New Year’s money. He joyfully stored each New Year’s red envelope he received - not that the cash amount matters, it’s New Year’s money that bring good luck.

It took until the end of the Fifth day of the New Year to visit all their relatives’ houses - this was still quick as some families would spend until the Lantern Festival visiting relatives.

After the visits to the relatives’ houses and returning home again with Xiaochao, Yan Fei headed over to the vegetable greenhouse, where his face turned sullen - it was bustling with activity, a group of kids were scurrying around inside and outside of the greenhouse, looking at tigers and bears, then golden eagles and sables.

Safe or not aside, the problem was, Heizi was setting up a table outside charging ’admission’!

Yan Fei understood immediately and exasperatedly said to Heizi: "Aren’t you bothered by your conscience?"

Heizi defended himself proudly: "How is this bothering my conscience? Anyway, the money in their pockets isn’t doing anything, if they don’t spend it here, they will spend somewhere else. What is wrong with taking it? Moreover, if they wanted to go to a zoo to see tigers, they would have to take a car to the city. You ask them how many of them have ever been to the city, what’s wrong with me allowing them to broaden their horizons with small change?"

Yan Fei was speechless and helplessly said: "You’re really bothered about that small amount of money? You might as well collect your antiques with the time you have spared! There’s a chance that you might make a fortune from one of them. Is it necessary to target kids’ pockets?"

Heizi gave a strong rebuttal: "I am collecting these admissions for you, not for myself."

Yan Fei was even more helpless: "Everyone knows that I got a piece of bezoar before the new year, ready to make a fortune. You’re ruining my reputation by doing what you are doing!"

In terms of shamelessness, Heizi had absolutely reached the paramount level.

This guy did not go around visiting relatives during the New Year, instead he busied himself all day and wandered around. It turned out he had been advertising the ’zoo’ opening for these past few days!

No wonder he ran over to the greenhouse early in the morning before Yan Fei and his parents had left. It turned out he was eager to start charging for admission.

During the New Year, even if children’s New Year’s money was ’safeguarded’ by their parents, there would always be a few coins left in their pockets. Heizi had come up with the idea to tap into these coins – how ruthless must he be to scheme such a small amount of money!

That’s just too ruthless. Yan Fei did not care about this small amount of money, but it was burning a hole in his pocket.

As for people being envious because Yan Fei was rich, and tarnishing his reputation, it was the least of his concerns. The main point was that it was not easy for these kids to save this money. Just look at Xiaochao, who knew how much ’fighting’ it took to have so much money left in his pocket. Could Yan Fei bring himself to take these kids’ money?

Luckily, it was the first day, and the children had to go with their parents to visit relatives in the morning. Heizi had just started collecting money, and the kids who were playing there hadn’t left yet.

After thinking for a while, Yan Fei found a new task for Heizi: "You go look at the vegetables in the greenhouse, pick some tomatoes and cucumbers and give one to each child. If you want to collect money in the future, you have to do it this way. Can’t you remember how we earned those few cents in our pockets when we were young? Aren’t you embarrassed about this?"

Once Heizi heard his reasoning, he felt hit in the gut, he probably remembered all the New Year’s money that had been ’guard’ by his parents when he was young.

It’s not that he didn’t want to give out vegetables, but: "Our tomatoes and cucumbers are not something you can buy for a few pennies. Won’t you lose money by doing this?"

Yan Fei waved his hand: "Whatever it is, how much can they be worth? Consider it spending money on getting these kids to keep my brother company..."

It’s true that when you have money in your pocket, you stand tall! That’s the spirit of rich!

When Heizi heard him say this, he accepted it. Although he was still somewhat unwilling, he went to pick vegetables obediently.

Xiaochao was overjoyed, and the boy trotted after Heizi: "Brother Heizi, I will help you pick the vegetables..."
