Chapter 234: Chapter 235 Happy New Year
“Little sis, I’m taking off first.” Xu Laoer, sensing that the situation wasn’t right, guiltily looked up at his little sister and bolted.
Xu Ying’s face was full of woe, all that money, all drifted away from her.
She picked up the pillow and angrily threw it down; she still wanted to fall back into dreamland.
Glancing at the sun outside the window, Xu Ying reluctantly crawled out of bed, and her eyes immediately caught sight of several red envelopes beside the pillow.
Xu Ying’s face brightened as she picked up the red envelopes, her eyes curving into smiles. She quickly got dressed and dashed downstairs.
“Mom and Dad, happy New Year!”
“Happy New Year to eldest brother and sister-in-law.”
“Happy New Year to second brother, third brother!”
“Shitou and Hu Zi, you’ve both grown a year older, happy New Year, oh, here, take your red envelopes.” Xu Ying took out the red envelopes she had prepared the night before, giving each of the youngsters one.
This was the first New Year that Shitou and Hu Zi received red envelopes from their little aunt. Both kids smiled with their eyes curved, “Thank you, little aunt, may you always be pretty and happy every day.”
“Thank you, little aunt, only you can make money every day!” Hu Zi chimed in.
Xu Ying was as happy as if she had eaten honey.
The Xu family thought to themselves, great, now we have a little money-grubber on our hands.
“Mom and Dad, after eating, Jingjing, Daya, and I are going out for a bit, we won’t be home for lunch.” Xu Ying wiped her mouth after eating and prepared to get up and leave.
When Shitou and Hu Zi heard that their little aunt was going out, they immediately drooped their ears and looked despondent.
“What’s wrong, why so unhappy?” Xu Ying asked.
“You hardly get to rest, little aunt, and now you won’t play with Shitou and Hu Zi.” Shitou looked up at Xu Ying with a face full of woe.
Xu Ying couldn’t help but laugh out loud, patting the two youngsters on their heads, she smilingly said, “Okay then, little aunt will take you both out to play in the afternoon.”
Shitou and Hu Zi’s faces changed in an instant. Upon hearing this, their faces lit up with smiles, nodding their heads furiously, “Okay!”
“Going out running about during the New Year,” Mrs. Xu said unhappily.
Xu Ying stepped out of the courtyard and ran into Lu Daya and Xu Jingjing, who were looking for her. The three of them walked together towards the school.
“Daya, you stay back later, wait for us to get things arranged,” Xu Jingjing advised, worried she might hold them back.
Lu Daya nodded her head.
The trio walked briskly and soon arrived at Yushan Commune’s school grounds, little did they know they would stumble upon a golden opportunity.
There was Sun Yiliang, smiling like a spring breeze, chatting up a storm with a girl, who occasionally burst into laughter at his banter.
The two of them walked together, astonishingly in harmony, very much looking the part of a couple.
Upon seeing this scene, Xu Ying let out a cold laugh, thinking that in her previous life, indeed it was no easy feat for him to end up with Chen Yanran.
“Sun Yiliang, aren’t you and your sister going home for the New Year?” Xu Ying called out to Sun Yiliang.
Hearing her voice, Sun Yiliang’s body stiffened sharply, and as he turned his head to see Xu Ying, a flash of panic appeared in his eyes, which he quickly suppressed.
With a face blooming like spring, he smiled and said, “Xu Ying, what brings you here? My sister and I aren’t heading back this year. Our family’s far away, and we haven’t saved much money, so we’re just celebrating the New Year right here.”
The girl next to Sun Yiliang felt a twinge of sympathy upon hearing his words, and a hint of admiration flitted through her. She promptly said, “Mr. Sun, if you’re short on money, I can lend you some.
With the New Year, everyone’s gone back home, and you and your sister must miss your family after having been here so long, right?”
Xu Ying looked astonished, “Mr. Sun, is your family very poor? I saw Sun Yunjuan just bought a new outfit and a lot of New Year’s goods. She seems to have spent quite a bit of money.
New n𝙤vel chapters are published on novelbuddy.cσ๓.
At least several yuan, right? And going back and forth by train is just two yuan. Isn’t that enough for you all to return home?”
When she said this, Xu Jingjing paused for a moment. Several yuan was not a small amount of money; how could they possibly be broke?
“Yingying, could you be mistaken? Normally, poor families wouldn’t dare to spend so freely.”
Sun Yiliang’s face immediately stiffened, and he seemed unable to maintain his composure. If his act was exposed, wouldn’t all his efforts at playing the poor man have been in vain?
“Xu Ying, you must be mistaken!” Even as Sun Yiliang said it, he felt it sounded hollow.
“No, I really saw Sun Yunjuan wearing the latest clothing from the textile factory, and I heard it’s popular and hard to come by,” Xu Ying asserted confidently.
The girl beside Sun Yiliang felt uncomfortable upon hearing this. She knew about the new clothing from the textile factory.
She had heard an outfit cost twenty or thirty yuan, and yet that girl only mentioned several yuan—nowhere near enough to buy it.
Her mother worked in the newly established textile factory workshop. The clothes were really attractive, and she had begged her mother to buy her an outfit, but her mother couldn’t bear the expense.
Fortunately, she hadn’t given Sun Yiliang any money. His family was much wealthier than hers.
“Mr. Sun, that outfit costs over thirty yuan. Your family must be really wealthy,” the girl said, distancing herself from Sun Yiliang after speaking.
Hiding on the side, Lu Daya was also shocked. That clothing was designed by Yingying, so she naturally knew about it, but she never expected Sun Yunjuan to be able to afford those clothes.
Lu Daya suppressed her anger and wanted to confront him. Every day, Sun Yiliang claimed life was tough and wouldn’t even spare the money for a movie ticket to treat her.
Yet he went straight ahead and bought an outfit for his sister, and it cost over thirty yuan.
“Ah? Perhaps that girl saved the money herself. I give her five yuan a month for pocket money; maybe she saved it up because she was reluctant to spend it.
A girl’s love for beauty, especially during the New Year, might have made her unable to resist buying an outfit. But over thirty yuan is really too expensive. I’ll make sure to scold her when I get home,” Sun Yiliang said angrily.
But the girl wasn’t foolish. After hearing this, she glanced at Xu Ying and excused herself, saying she had to leave.
Now that there were fewer people, Xu Ying spoke more directly, “Mr. Sun, are you and Lu Daya in a relationship?”
Sun Yiliang didn’t want to admit it, but considering Lu Daya’s relationship with Xu Ying, he reluctantly nodded.
“Yes.”
“Mr. Sun, since you and Lu Daya are dating, when do you plan to take her to meet your parents?
Both of you are not young anymore and are of marriageable age. It might be better to let your parents meet her sooner rather than later. It doesn’t look good for Daya to follow you around without any formal commitment,” Xu Ying pressed him.
A trace of undetectable shame flitted across Sun Yiliang’s eyes. He and Lu Daya were just dating; they hadn’t reached the step of marriage yet.
Moreover, his initial target had been Chen Yanran. That girl got along well with his sister, and their family was doing quite well. He believed he could take good care of his sister partially because of that.
But after arriving, he realized that Chen Yanran wasn’t quite what his sister had described. On the other hand, Lu Daya was a teacher, had a job, and was reasonably attractive.
Most importantly, she was obedient and from the same village. He thought about relying on her to help care for his sister.
At first, things were fine, but as time passed, Lu Daya brought up marriage, and Sun Yiliang’s good feelings towards her diminished completely.
Plus, his little sister often spoke ill of Lu Daya, and over time, Sun Yiliang also felt that Lu Daya was not a good match for him.
That girl he was just speaking with was the daughter of the village chief from the neighboring village, with a good family background, and she was also the scorer for the team.
He had just started connecting with her when Xu Ying’s few words stirred up trouble.
