Shrank to a 3-Years-Old Child Chapter 136: Sibling War
Everyone understands that Qingqing gave Anran so much money mainly to subsidize her studies abroad.
This is for her living expenses.
Aside from Fu Sishen, no one knew that An Ran had inherited a large sum of money from her brother.
In Qingqing’s heart, she was still a child with little income who needed to rely on her, her only elder, for support. Therefore, it was only natural for her to give her child more living expenses.
So no one said anything about the different amounts of red envelopes the mother gave before and after, and everyone happily accepted them.
Qingqing gave it as a token of her affection; no one can say a bad word about her if she doesn’t.
However, Yu Yu was still taken aback by Fu Sijin’s sudden transfer.
She sent a message very quickly.
[Little Yu: Why did you suddenly give me so much money?] She was so frightened that she thought Fu Sijin had done something bad behind her back.
[A-Jin: My mom gave me New Year’s money.]
[Little Yu: There are too many, I can’t accept them.]
[A-Jin: Take it, we all have some.]
[A-Jin: If you return it, my mom will be unhappy.]
[Ah Jin: I’ll be unhappy too.]
[A-Jin: Are you willing to do that?]
Little Yu: …
[Little Yu: You’ve said everything, good and bad, what else can I say?]
This means you’ve implicitly accepted the money.
[Little Yu: Please thank Auntie for me.]
[Little Yu: Do you think I should buy something for aunt? She’s given me so many things before, and I haven’t been able to reciprocate.]
She’s not the type to like owing people favors; if she gets something in return, she always tries to find a way to repay it.
[A-Jin: Giving her a daughter-in-law is the best reward you can give.]
Yu Yu didn’t respond. Her cousin, sitting opposite her, looked at her with a puzzled expression: “Sis, why is your face so red? Are you sick?”
“No, it’s probably because the heating in the house is too high.” She came to her senses and smiled awkwardly at her cousin.
After ignoring everyone for a while, Yu Yu found herself being bombarded with a series of attacks.
[Ah Jin: Can I visit your home on the second day of the Lunar New Year? To formally meet my future in-laws.]
[Ah Jin: I’ve already ordered our wedding rings. Do you want to take a look? (Image attached)]
[A-Jin: My mom said she wants to invite your parents out for a meal to discuss our marriage.]
[A-Jin: Let’s get our marriage certificate at the beginning of the year! I can’t wait!]
…
This person kept dropping bombshell after bombshell news, completely overwhelming Yu Yu.
However, it is undeniable that along with shyness and inexplicable nervousness, there was more joy and anticipation in my heart.
After many years of dating, she is finally going to marry the person she loves most.
The Mother Yu, who had cut a plate of fruit to serve the guests, noticed her daughter’s expression. She had a guess in her mind, but did not say anything.
Anyway, her daughter will definitely come to them to confess, so we just have to wait and see.
Sure enough, when she went back to the kitchen to prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner for the whole family, Yu Yu came over and wrapped her arms around her waist in a coquettish manner.
She called out “Mom” in such a mushy way.
“Hey~” In a good mood during the New Year, Yu Yu’s mother didn’t mind playing with her daughter for a while: “What’s wrong? Why are you suddenly being so clingy?”
“That… is…”
The words are on the tip of my tongue, but I’m too embarrassed to say them.
Fortunately, Yu Yu’s mother was very patient and didn’t rush her daughter. She continued cooking by herself. This calm attitude, however, made Yu Yu anxious, and she blurted out her decision.
“My boyfriend said he wants to visit you and my dad at our home on the second day of the Lunar New Year.”
With a “thud,” the crab in Yu Yu’s mother’s hand fell to the ground.
She ignored the crab struggling in the sink, turned around quickly, and looked directly at her daughter seriously: “Are you talking about the father of the child in your belly?”
“Mom!” Yu Yu exclaimed in shock, “How…how did you know?”
She didn’t dare tell her parents about this and kept it a secret, never expecting that her mother already knew.
“You silly girl, next time don’t throw the pregnancy test out the window.” Yu Yu’s mother rolled her eyes at her daughter’s foolish behavior.
The room where Yu Yu was located was right next to the public garbage collection point on their street. Throwing it down there was indeed the same as throwing it into the trash can. But she didn’t consider that the garbage truck had just cleared away the garbage that morning, and when she came back from grocery shopping, she saw a box of pregnancy test strips lying there quietly. How could she not have some suspicions?
Having been through it all, Yu Yu’s mother carefully observed her daughter and understood everything.
She was both angry and anxious, fearing that her daughter would be deceived by a scumbag.
Her husband comforted her, saying that they should see how their daughter handled the situation before intervening, so as not to frighten the child or cause any further accidents.
Fortunately, since the man is willing to make a formal visit, it means that he does not want to take responsibility.
As for whether the other party is worthy of her daughter, she will naturally investigate that herself when the time comes.
Having made up her mind, Yu Yu’s mother readily agreed: “Alright, have him come over for dinner on the second night of the Lunar New Year.”
No, not at noon, she also had to go back to her parents’ home to visit, so she could only receive this special guest when she returned in the evening.
Having received confirmation, Yu Yu immediately ran out happily to report back to Fu Sijin.
Seeing her usually gentle and quiet daughter suddenly become so lively, Yu Yu’s mother knew that her daughter was truly in love.
She shook her head helplessly, sighed inwardly that daughters grow up and leave home, and then continued to process her crabs.
On the other hand, Fu Sijin was also overjoyed to receive a positive reply from his fiancée. He could hardly wait to go to the second year of junior high school to meet Yu Yu’s family.
However, for now, he still had to stay home and spend the Lunar New Year with his family.
The Gu family, having received the news long ago, had already made all the necessary preparations.
When the housekeeper learned that her beloved young lady was coming back for the New Year, she was overjoyed and prepared a huge feast, leaving the Gu family’s chef with no opportunity to use his skills.
Gu Lan was waiting at the gate early to pick them up.
Upon seeing his sister’s family arrive, he hurried forward, and unsurprisingly, was patted on the head by an overly excited woman.
Gu Lan’s face darkened, and he subconsciously reached out to retaliate, but he didn’t expect that Gu Qingqing was already prepared. She hopped three times like a rabbit and hid behind Fu Heng.
It even poked its head out and made a face at him!
This brat is really something else; if you don’t discipline him for three days, she’ll be tearing the roof off.
Just as the siblings were about to start arguing, Fu Heng stepped in to stop them: “Come and help me move things.”
Gu Lan, who was called away, could only reluctantly act as a laborer, while Qingqing had already happily run into the house to find the housekeeper.
Please feed me.
When Gu Lan and the others finally managed to carry a bunch of things into the house, they saw Qingqing already comfortably nestled on the sofa, holding a bowl of mango pomelo sago and enjoying it.
“Give me a sip.” Gu Lan snatched the sugar water from Qingqing’s hand without any hesitation.
“You can only drink a small sip.”
Qingqing was very anxious, afraid that her younger brother would drink it all in one gulp.
Gu Lan, who originally only wanted to drink a sip to quench his thirst, deliberately took a big gulp when he saw Qingqing’s reaction, finishing off the last bit of the mango pomelo sago, and then returned the almost empty bowl to Qingqing.
“Thanks, sister.”
“…” Qingqing stared blankly at the bowl, dumbfounded.
If it were the old Qingqing, she would probably be crying in distress by now, but she’s grown up, so…
“Gu Xiaolan, you’re dead!”
Enraged, Qingqing grabbed a pillow and charged at Gu Lan, furiously slapping the scoundrel across the face.
“That’s enough, don’t think I wouldn’t hit a woman.”
After being hit several times, Gu Lan lost his temper. While resisting Qingqing’s attacks, he struggled to move to the sofa, picked up his weapon (a pillow), and fought back.
As a result, a perfectly good sibling reunion was turned into a pillow fight by the two grown-up kids.
The men of the Fu family couldn’t even find a way to break up the fight.
Finally, the housekeeper heard the commotion and came out shakily, roaring angrily from the bottom of her lungs, “Anyone who makes a fuss won’t be eating!”
The effects of not being able to eat are obviously significant, especially the food prepared by the housekeeper, which has an even greater effect.
No one wanted to miss the opportunity to enjoy the delicious food, so everyone agreed to a truce.
I’ll settle the score with you next time!
Snort!
If eyes could materialize, Fu Sijin would definitely see the crackling of lightning.
He was also very helpless. His uncle doted on his mother when she was little, so how did they become such a bickering couple as they grew up ?
They never stop until they’ve caused a huge scene every time they meet.
But as soon as they’re apart, they start missing each other again. This sibling relationship is really baffling.
Despite the fun and laughter, everyone remained harmonious at the dinner table.
The family, including Gu Lan and the housekeeper grandmother who stayed at the Gu family ancestral home, consisted of six people.
Even though there were fewer people, it was still much more lively than before. The housekeeper was all smiles. She was old and had a small appetite, so she liked to feed the younger generation.
One person peeled shrimp, another picked up meat, and yet another served soup; they were all busy and happy, and even Fu Heng was taken care of.
He wouldn’t refuse the old woman’s kindness; he politely thanked her and quietly ate the durian pastry in the bowl.
The meal was a great success, and after it was over, everyone moved to the living room to chat or play games.
There weren’t enough people to even set up two mahjong tables, so Fu Sishen simply invited his mother and brother to play Dou Dizhu (a card game). Each round cost one yuan, which was a small amount of money, but it was just for fun.
Qingqing used to know how to play, but not now, so Fu Sishen treated her like a beginner and taught her.
I don’t know if it was because of this that Qingqing had some good luck as a beginner, but she was having an exceptionally good day. Not only did she keep getting good cards, but she also kept winning.
Even if it’s a game that only costs one dollar, she still made nearly one hundred dollars in one night.
Qingqing was so happy that she immediately took out the money and ordered milk tea.
Let’s all drink together!
That way, Fu Heng wouldn’t scold her; Qingqing’s inner thoughts were racing.
She was restricted to drinking only one cup of milk tea per week, and she had already had hers for this week, but there has to be an exception during the Chinese New Year.
Thanks to the milk tea shops that stayed open during the Lunar New Year, Qingqing happily held a cup of milk tea and went between her two sons to watch them play video games with each other, with Fu Heng’s tacit approval.
