Chapter 291: Chapter 292: Let’s Divide the House

The Chen Family simply couldn’t compare with the Gu Family in terms of wealth, it seemed like they wouldn’t be able to repay the money.

They decided to invite the Gu Family of three over for dinner that evening, using the leftover takeout dishes, stew a couple of pork trotters and stir-fry some rabbit meat, and even break out the half bottle of wine left from the New Year’s celebration.

Helian Qiao looked up and said innocently, "One was given by Aunt Jiang, and the other by Gu Tingyun."

Hearing this, the older members of the Chen Family looked at Gu Tingyun with newfound respect, as if he were a shiny little god of wealth.

A single red envelope from him contained twenty yuan - he was richer than their own adults.

Upon hearing this, Li Chunhua felt a twinge of jealousy. Why couldn’t Xiaobao play with him?!

Otherwise, Xiaobao could’ve also gotten a share of the red envelope!

Chen Erni, kneeling at the door, felt a bitterness in her heart.

She had seen them give the red envelopes under the table, but she hadn’t known that they contained so much money; her own red envelope had only two yuan in it!

What made her less than Guibao?! Why did everyone favor her?!

Zhou Zhaodi, however, happily put the money back into the red envelope and handed it back to her niece, "Guibao, with so much money, you have to keep it safe in future."

If Comrade Jiang and Director Gu were so generous to Guibao at this time, then when they become family in the future, they would surely give all the good things in their home to Guibao!

At that time, they, as the maternal family, could also share the good fortune. After all, their little niece Guibao had always been filial and sensible, she would certainly not forget her maternal family.

Helian Qiao accepted the red envelope and casually passed it to Ma Xiulian.

Ma Xiulian accepted the red envelope and said, "Next time, I’ll sew a deeper pocket inside your clothes so that it won’t fall out easily."

Children’s pockets are shallow, they like to jump around, so the things inside their clothes are prone to falling out.

Zhou Zhaodi’s heart soured instantaneously, this was so touching!

The two yuan red envelope that her two rascal children received was confiscated by her through coaxing and grabbing.

Liu Lanzhi, however, once again came to a deep realization of how much her mother-in-law doted on Guibao, her little niece.

She originally thought that her mother-in-law would at least berate her for being careless, after all, if those forty yuan were picked up by someone else, she would be heartbroken!

Late in the evening, Dabai returned from the mountains with a large, wild pheasant in its mouth and a full stomach.

Ma Xiulian praised Dabai joyfully and immediately slaughtered the pheasant to make soup, adding another dish to the dinner menu.

After the two families merrily finished their dinner, everyone tidied up and retreated to their rooms early.

Ma Xiulian lay in bed, lightly patting her little granddaughter, and whispered, "Old man, once our eldest daughter-in-law and fifth daughter-in-law give birth and complete their confinement period, let’s divide the household."

Her tone was even, devoid of emotional fluctuations; it was clear that she had thought about this thoroughly.

As parents, they had fulfilled their responsibilities by finding wives for all their sons.

Now, only their fourth son had yet to marry, but it was unlikely he would return any time soon.

"Now that the children have grown up, they’ve become more greedy, and are increasingly unable to tolerate Guibao. Right now, it’s just jealousy, who knows what they might do in the future! Moreover, in a few years, our grandsons will grow up and marry, not just our grandsons and granddaughters, but even our sons might harbor resentment for Guibao."

Ma Xiulian sighed faintly, and upon looking at Guibao’s cute sleeping face next to her, her mood lifted.

Chen Dazhu nodded, mumbling, "Whatever you say! As the tree grows its branches spread, they’re all settled down, they’ll be planning for their own families, this family can’t stay together for much longer."

Ma Xiulian smiled, chattering, "We two old folks are still capable, we won’t follow anyone, we’ll live separately with Guibao and wait for our fourth son to return..."
