However, Lin Guozhi now finds that the women in the family are all wealthy, making the men feel a bit weaker in terms of finances. Both he and his son and son-in-law are civil servants, with limited salaries. It gives off the feeling of living off their wives, yet this does not matter much to them. The men in the Lin Family never cared about such things. They all relied on their own skills to make a living.
Although Lin Wan is reluctant to take the money from the two stores in S City, Liang Hongmei feels uneasy, since they have been managed by her daughter ever since coming here.
So, during the New Yearâs red envelope-giving, Liang Hongmei specifically prepared a large one for her granddaughter, containing a savings book with tens of thousands inside. This made Lin Wan feel helpless but also deeply moved.
A few years ago, she had a falling out with her family because she lacked money for school. It was during that time that heaven gave her an opportunity.
But this money was sneakily given by Mom, fearing that Saozi might have opinions.
Actually, Ah Hui secretly told her about this, just worried she might have thoughts after knowing, but Mu Qing naturally had no opinion; she doesnât care about such matters, it ought to be given to the sister-in-law.
Ever since marrying into the Lin Family, her father-in-law, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law have treated her very well. After retiring, fearing sheâd be lonely, they even let her manage the hotel alone.
And this year, the profits from the hotel, her mother-in-law didnât want; she let her manage it all, clearly meaning itâs considered hers now.
How fortunate she is to be valued by such a family.
Mu Qing is also grateful, so whether at home or outside, she tries not to let her mother-in-law do any hard work.
Of course, this New Year, her own family has been quite peaceful. Perhaps, having gone through her situation, theyâve repented and stopped doing those inappropriate things often. Though she still doesnât talk much with her parents, itâs much more relaxed compared to when she first got married. Especially after having Tuantuan, her Mom and Dad have been very happy for her, thrilled that sheâs given the Lin Family a chubby boy, which would elevate her status in the Lin Family.
Mu Qing scoffs at their thoughts, but she didnât say much.
However, when the Lin Family is busy, they usually come over to help take care of Tuantuan.
Perhaps recently heaven has seen their good behavior and opened its eyes; her elder sister-in-law finally got pregnant. For someone as heavy to conceive a child wasnât easy. Now, they are doting on their treasure.
Originally, grandma mentioned wanting the family to go out and wander around during the summer, taking advantage of everyone being present, on the first day of the New Year, Dad brought the whole family to a newly developed hot spring resort in the suburbs of Z City.
This place has leisure areas, farm stays, and all kinds of accommodations. Thereâs stuff for both adults and kids to play with. The whole family planned to stay here for two days.
"Xiao Nian, how do you view Bai Jun and Xiao Leâs situation?" During a break area moment, uncle asked about the situation of little aunt and uncle.
"Whatâs there to think about? Of course, we approve, otherwise, we wouldnât let Xiao Le spend New Yearâs at his home this year." Little aunt still regards Shen Bai Jun quite highly, especially after learning Shen Bai Junâs connection to Han Yi; sheâs even more pleased. Someone worth entrusting.
"That kid is indeed good, very capable. I believe when he reaches my age, he wonât be worse off than I am." Uncleâs words made Lin Wan somewhat amused, always a hint of self-praise; clearly complimenting others yet not forgetting to include himself.
Seems her uncle is quite loaded with humor. This kind of gene is inherited; originally, her grandfather was someone with a natural humor aura.
"About the same; you both parents could meet up, discuss the kidsâ matters; Xiao Le isnât young anymore, the man is even older than Xiao Le. Heâs surely anxious to get married; Xiao Le is now studying as a graduate, not disallowing marriage." Grandpa is rather favorable towards this pair. In the family right now, only this grandson and granddaughter are not married.
Peng Li already has a partner, with work experience at the workplace; just waiting for a house to be allocated for marriage. Itâs said the allocation should come through after New Year. Then, the two can directly obtain a certificate, apply for housing. The second oneâs issues also resolved.
Now the youngest daughter also has a prospect, they can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Little auntâs eldest daughter-in-law, Sister-in-law Meili, is in the arts troupe; ever since Xiao Wan opened a clothing store, the two have interacted quite often, all because Sister-in-law Meili especially likes her shopâs clothes. For this, Lin Wan even specially gave her a 20% discount card.
Sister-in-law Meili is nice; easy to get along with, livelier than Sister-in-law Wang Xi. When a few sisters-in-law gather, itâs mostly Sister-in-law Meili who mediates the atmosphere.
