In the past, Lan Shu would definitely have eased the relationship between her adoptive parents and tried her best to let the old couple resolve their conflicts.

But now, she is tired and doesn't want to care.

And she felt that her adoptive mother was really too selfish.

She can't stop a person who only thinks about himself, regardless of whether the other half around him is good or bad.

So Lan Shu listened to her elder brother's words, but didn't react at all.

The second brother Lan Xiuming actually said that after he returns to Linjiang City in a few days, he will find an opportunity to talk to his mother so that the relationship between his parents will not be so bad anymore.

The three brothers of the Lan family did not say much about this matter. Today is the third day of the Lunar New Year, and the four brothers and sisters have made an appointment to have dinner together.

The four families gathered together at the home of Lan Dazhuang, the eldest brother of the Lan family, and had a lively meal.

Before the show was over, Lan Xiuming told his brother and sister that he would return to Linjiang City tomorrow.

This time he took his wife and son to Kyoto to celebrate the New Year, so his daughter-in-law's relatives haven't visited her relatives during the Chinese New Year. He went back early so that he could have time to visit his relatives' homes during the last two days of annual leave.

Listening to her second brother's words, Lan Shu said she understood.

Before leaving her eldest brother's house, she did not forget to share the New Year's red envelopes she had prepared with her nephews.

Lan Shu handed out the red envelopes, and Gu Qingning and Gu Zerui also received red envelopes from their uncles.

Although Gu Qingning is nineteen years old, in the eyes of her elders, as long as she doesn't get married, she is still a child.

So it was really embarrassing for Gu Qingning to take this red envelope...

…

On the other side of the Meng family, Meng Dabao's daughter-in-law Zhou Lan, as the new daughter-in-law who married into the family, also received red envelopes from her elders during the Chinese New Year.

The elders of the Meng family were not stingy with their daughter-in-law, so they directly gave her a big red envelope worth a thousand yuan!

Feeling her husband's family's love for her, Zhou Lan was a little moved.

Before she came to Kyoto to work, she never thought that she would settle down in Kyoto and have a home here.

And on this day that moved Zhou Lan, the Meng family also ushered in something happy!

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, during lunch, Zhou Lan suddenly had a nausea and vomiting reaction to a table of meat dishes.

When the elders of the Meng family saw this situation, they looked at each other and understood that if nothing else happened, their family would have offspring again!

Meng Dabao's grandfather burst out laughing immediately, because he knew that he would soon have a great-grandson!

Why is it a great-grandson, not a great-granddaughter? Old Man Meng is confident in his family's genes.

Starting from the generations above him, the first births were all sons!

So the granddaughter-in-law must be carrying a boy.

Zhou Lan is pregnant and must be careful when working.

In fact, Meng Dabao had thought about asking his wife to quit her job and rest at home, but Zhou Lan was embarrassed to stay at home when she was only a few months old.

Coming from a small place, she still hopes that she can make more money.

This is not only for myself, but also for my current home and future children.

Because of Zhou Lan's pregnancy, the Meng family focused almost all their attention on her as their daughter-in-law/granddaughter-in-law, so much so that Meng Xiaoxiao, who originally attracted much attention at home, was ignored.

Meng Xiaoxiao saw the whole family surrounding her sister-in-law, and she suddenly felt like she was being left out.

In the past, it was her brother who was cared about by the family, but now it is her sister-in-law. She feels that after her sister-in-law gives birth to a child, she will no longer be cared about by the family...

Meng Xiaoxiao felt very sad. She instantly disliked Zhou Lan as her sister-in-law——

The Meng family didn't know what Meng Xiaoxiao was thinking, and Meng Dabao didn't know what his sister was thinking.

Only Zhou Lai, as a woman, noticed something strange about her sister-in-law.

It seems that ever since I got pregnant, my sister-in-law has been avoiding me?

But she didn't pay much attention to it.

My sister-in-law is only ten years old this year. What else can she have at such a young age?

As a sister-in-law, all she can do is ask her sister-in-law what she likes when she has time.

After her salary is paid, she will buy something for her sister-in-law, and her sister-in-law will probably stop avoiding her.

…

The annual vacation is over, and the workers gradually return to work. After the fifteenth day, students also start to go to school.

Nine-and-a-half-year-old Gu Zerui entered the third grade of elementary school. When school started, he quickly resumed his life between school and home.

Gu Qingning is a sophomore this year. During the Chinese New Year, besides playing with her cousin and younger brother, she was also busy with stocks.

Things have been going well recently. During one winter vacation, she made thousands of dollars just from stocks!

Now Gu Qingning has more than the original 23,000 yuan for stock trading. Over the past year, her money has snowballed, reaching a total of 60,000 to 70,000 yuan.

When you have sufficient funds and great maneuverability, you can make more money.

In addition to Gu Qingning and Gu Zerui, Lan Juncheng also went abroad a week ago.

The start date of the school at the Conservatory of Music is earlier than in China. This time, parents Lan Dazhuang and Tang Chu still sent their sons to school in person.

Only by seeing their son enter school safely can the two of them feel at ease.

After sending his son to the music conservatory, Lan Dazhuang was not in a hurry to return to China. Instead, he listened to his younger sister and took the time to take his wife to have fun abroad for a few days.

Lan Dazhuang only had a junior high school education and could not understand the language with foreigners abroad. Fortunately, he went to college in the early Tang Dynasty and knew some English.

Although Tang Chu had only scratched the surface of learning foreign languages ​​at that time, when her son Lan Juncheng was learning English a few years ago, she also picked up this language course again, so she was able to overcome the language outside.

Unreasonable problem.

While Lan Dazhuang and his wife were traveling abroad, Lan Xiuming was facing a problem in Linjiang City.

His mother, Chang Chunfang, came back from her parents' home yesterday. She seemed a little unhappy, so much so that Lan Xiuming had only been working for a few days after she came back, so he had to take time off to go to his mother's house and listen to his mother's complaints...

…

Linjiang City, the residence of Lan Family and Chang Chunfang.

Lan Xiuming was sitting on the sofa in the living room of his home, hearing his mother's aggrieved voice in his ears.

"...If it hadn't been for me, how could they have found such a good job? I thought they were grateful, but I didn't expect that my two nieces would say bad things about me behind my back!"

"I just went back to my parents' house for a few days, and I still lived in the same house I lived in when I was a child. They were not happy about it! Although they didn't say it, I knew they thought I was eating free food at home every day!"

"What's wrong with the benefits they get from me, and I only have a few meals? I don't even plan to stay at my parents' house for too long. They all seem to be afraid that I won't leave~!"

Chang Chunfang was indeed wronged, so she vented her feelings in front of her son.

Lan Xiuming listened silently, already having a rough understanding of his mother's recent situation at her parents' home.

He sighed, not even surprised by what the hell happened to him.

When his mother took a breath and drank some water, he spoke -

"Mom, have you ever thought that as long as grandpa said a word, so many things wouldn't happen?"
