Chapter 829: Chapter 830: Returning Home in Glory

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Song Xiaodong’s Second Uncle’s house was bustling with activity. Besides them, the Third Uncle’s family was also there. It was natural to visit relatives during the New Year, and today was perfect for having a good meal and chat together.

"Oh, it seems someone is arriving by car." A minivan parked at the gate, and Second Auntie happened to see it.

"Ah, it’s Xiaodong and Xiaoru coming back." Third Aunt looked up just in time to see Song Xiaodong and Song Xiaoru getting out of the car and hurriedly called everyone out to greet them.

Second Uncle and Third Uncle’s families quickly exited the house, and Song Xiaodong and his companions had already walked into the yard.

However, what left both families dumbstruck was that Song Xiaodong had not only returned with Song Xiaoru but also brought six other stunningly beautiful women. They knew about Miao Qingqing’s relationship with Song Xiaodong, but as for the others, they were clueless, not understanding why Song Xiaodong brought so many beautiful women.

"Happy New Year, Second Uncle, Happy New Year, Second Auntie, Happy New Year, Third Uncle, Happy New Year, Third Aunt!"

Song Xiaodong greeted them, and the seven beautiful women lined up beside him, then simultaneously bowed to the elders to wish them a happy new year.

"Good, good!" Second Uncle and the others were somewhat dazed, wondering what the situation was with these girls. They quickly ushered Song Xiaodong and his group into the house.

As the eight of them entered, the room started to feel a bit crowded. Third Aunt, ever quick to speak, asked: "Xiaodong, who are all these beautiful girls?"

Song Xiaodong replied with a smile, "These are all your nieces-in-law."

"What?"

Song Xiaoru, feeling somewhat awkward, still stepped forward and said, "Indeed, they are all Xiaodong’s wives. This year, they came together to celebrate the New Year and pay a visit to the uncles and aunts."

Second Uncle and the others were dumbfounded. They knew Miao Qingqing was Song Xiaodong’s girlfriend, and they were aware of what happened between Song Xiaoru and Song Xiaodong, especially since they later had to provide a proof of non-blood relation.

They had been worried that Song Xiaoru and Miao Qingqing might give Song Xiaodong a headache, but not only was there no issue, he even brought back five more women.

Now the question was, who among them was official, and who was the mistress... even down to a ’Mistress Seven’.

"Ah, little baby, little baby, Sister Sijie, look, it’s the little baby!" Xiao Yingying, seeing Second Uncle’s grandson on the kang (a traditional Chinese bed), immediately excitedly called out.

Several of the girls became interested and went over to take a look.

Song Xiaodong, Song Xiaoru, and the four uncles and aunts moved aside, and Third Aunt asked, "What exactly is going on?"

Song Xiaoru gave a small smile and explained, "Xiaodong is too fickle-hearted, keeps finding one after another, and they all willingly follow him, so it has to be this way."

Third Aunt grimaced, asking, "Xiaoru, how could you agree to this?"

Song Xiaoru shrugged, "I couldn’t disagree; now, Xiaodong is the head of our family, we all have to listen to him."

Song Xiaodong put his arm around Song Xiaoru’s waist, laughing as he said, "Sis, in my heart, you’ll always be my sister. What you say, how could I not listen?"

Song Xiaoru rolled her eyes at Song Xiaodong and then reassured the uncles and aunts, "You don’t have to worry; we are all doing well together."

Third Aunt grimaced again, saying, "Even if Xiaodong is rich, I still feel this isn’t right. If people start questioning, it could become quite troublesome."

Song Xiaoru laughed again: "Don’t worry, Dongzi not only has money now, but also some other influences. As long as we keep it low-profile and don’t publicize, no one will pursue it."

"Oh... as long as you all are doing well, that’s all that matters," Second Auntie remarked.

"No no, this is too much, I can’t accept it." At this moment, Song Xiaodong’s sister-in-law’s flustered voice caught everyone’s attention.

"This is for the little baby, don’t be shy." Miao Xuanxuan said with a smile as she stuffed a big red envelope under the child’s blanket.

And it wasn’t just Miao Xuanxuan; each of the girls had prepared a big red envelope, judging by the thickness of the envelopes, there should be a hundred bills in each.

In some places, to make the New Year’s money look more, they switch to new ten-yuan bills, so even giving two or three hundred would look a lot, and the kids would be happier.

Second Auntie hurriedly said, "Giving New Year’s money to the children, two or three hundred is enough, how could you give a thousand at once?"

The daughter-in-law of Second Auntie quickly said, "Mom, these are not ten-yuan bills, they are hundred-yuan bills."

"Ah!" Second Auntie suddenly exclaimed. This means one red envelope alone is ten thousand yuan, and with six people each giving one, isn’t that sixty thousand yuan?

Song Xiaoru rushed to say, "Second Auntie, this is everyone’s sincerity, please don’t refuse, they are all the baby’s aunts, it’s only right to give a big red envelope."

As she spoke, Song Xiaoru also went over and took out an even larger red envelope, saying, "They are aunts, I am both an aunt and an uncle, so I can only give a bit more."

"Sister Xiaoru!" Second Auntie’s daughter-in-law was even more stunned.

Song Xiaoru said with a smile, "Keep it, this is our Song family’s first little baby, we must nurture him well, so that he can achieve great things in the future."

At this point, Song Xiaodong laughed and said, "Everyone has given red envelopes, I can’t not give one." Saying this, he also took out a red envelope as big as Song Xiaoru’s and handed it over.

Second Auntie’s family was at a loss for words at once, all overwhelmed with excitement, just the red envelopes for the child added up to a hundred thousand yuan, that is simply striking it rich.

When Song Xiaodong saw Third Aunt’s envious gaze, he chuckled and said, "Third Aunt, hurry and let your brother get married and have children, then you’ll have red envelopes too."

Third Aunt suddenly felt a bit embarrassed and said, "This darn kid, he’s not in a hurry right now, but this time I must push him."

At that moment, Song Xiaoru took out two extra-large red envelopes and said, "Second Uncle, Third Uncle, we haven’t come to see you very often, you can use this money for your expenses."

"Ah! We get some too?" Both Second Uncle and Third Uncle’s voices trembled, mainly because the red envelopes were really big, probably as much as fifty thousand yuan.

Song Xiaoru said, "You are our uncles and aunts, now that we’ve become wealthy, naturally we can’t forget you."

Third Uncle immediately said, "No, no! We can’t take this money, at your most difficult times, we didn’t even lift a finger to help you, now that you are doing well, and yet you’re giving us money, that makes us feel guilty."

Third Aunt blushed recalling the previous issues that originated from her, she said awkwardly, "Yes, indeed, Third Aunt regrets those times even now, if I take your money again, it will make me feel even more uneasy."

Song Xiaodong directly stuffed the money into the hands of the two uncles, saying, "No matter what, you are our relatives, and my sister and I only have you closest relatives, that’s unchangeable."

Both Second Uncle and Third Uncle’s families experienced a mix of emotions; moved and excited, but also guilty.
