On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Qingyue was still lazily lying in bed, planning to take a nap, when there was a loud knock on the door.

"What time is it and the door is still not open? Is there any girl like you?"

Xu Qingyue scratched her messy hair, got up angrily and opened the door, then saw a group of women rushing in, including her eldest aunt, eldest aunt, second aunt, aunt, and her aunt's cousin.

Xu Qingyue glanced at Li Cuihong who was standing outside the door watching the fun. How could she not understand? She thought she was not easy to mess with, so she didn't dare to provoke her, so she called a group of people to come and make trouble for her, treating her room as a tourist attraction, so it was so crowded.

"Everyone, you can't just sit on my bed. I went to a fortune teller yesterday and he said that putting dirty things on the bed will cause you to lose money."

My aunt was wearing a bright red cotton coat and a pair of red trousers. Judging from the thickness of the coat, she must have been wearing cotton trousers tucked inside.

She looked around Xu Qingyue's room and asked in confusion:

"Is this true? You haven't been fooled."

Then he realized that Xu Qingyue was cursing, and immediately started to speak:

"What do you mean? You're a grown woman who didn't get up early to greet us on New Year's Day, and didn't help your mother with the housework. You called us dirty people from afar, and we care about you and make mistakes."

Xu Qingyue sneered and asked her aunt:

"I wonder if my aunt's family has a throne to inherit, or if I am your princess, and you need me to get up early to pay my respects to you. If that's the case, I don't ask for much, just give me the house you live in."

Xu Qingyue paused, then bowed to the five people and said, "Everyone, everyone, congratulations on your prosperity. Give me your red envelopes. Those who have money can show their support, and those who don't have money can show their support."

My aunt sneered:

"How old are you? You are already 18 and you still want red envelopes. Where have you learned anything? Have you fed it to the dog?"

Xu Qingyue is not outdone:

"I'm sorry, auntie. Of course I learn what I know. I can never learn what you know."

"You called me a dog?"

My aunt screamed and was about to beat her, but her cousin stopped her in time and comforted her:

"Sister, it's New Year's Day, don't be angry, you are pregnant with another one."

"Oh, here we go again. Congratulations."

When everyone heard this, they immediately congratulated him.

My aunt raised her head proudly like a victorious hen:

Yes, I always like to eat sour food recently, this time it must be a son."

The first and second aunts were even happier after hearing this. The first aunt hurried over to support my aunt and pretended to blame her:

"You didn't even bother to tell us. If it weren't for your sister, we wouldn't have known this good news."

My aunt said shyly:

"I'm just thinking about telling everyone about this during the Chinese New Year to make everyone happy. Li Zhuang also said the same thing."

Li Zhuang is Xu Qingyue's uncle and Li Cuihong's younger brother. The Li family has four children. Li Cuihong is the third. Li Zhuang is the youngest and the only son.

Second Aunt agreed with envy:

"I am happy. They say sour boys and spicy girls are the best. Now our Li family can be considered to have an heir."

Xu Qingyue burst into laughter after hearing this:

"Second aunt, what you said means that my uncle's sister is not my uncle's descendant? You are putting this hat on my aunt's head. I wonder if my aunt agrees or not."

After hearing this, Second Aunt glared at Xu Qingyue and explained to her aunt:

"Oh, Xiaoling, you know that's not what I meant. This damn kid, how come his mouth is so poisonous at school? He's talking nonsense even more."

My eldest aunt also echoed, "They really have no sense of propriety and morality at school. They are now planning to take over my house. If you ask me, why would they go to college? Nowadays, the more kids go to college, the more disobedient they become."

As she spoke, she began to pull Li Cuihong and persuade her:

"Sister-in-law, if you ask me, it would be better for her not to take the college entrance examination. A high school diploma is enough for her to find a job."

Auntie came over and interrupted:

"That's right. Let me tell you, the more educated a person is, the more disobedient they are. You know my neighbor, the one who always brags to me about her daughter getting a PhD. She was the first one in our neighborhood to get a PhD. She's so proud of her mother, bragging everywhere. I don't know what's the point. She only gave birth to one daughter, and she wouldn't listen when I asked her to have another one. Now she's 35 and still hasn't found a marriage. It's so embarrassing."

Li Cuihong asked hesitantly, "Is it because they earn more?"

Second Aunt smiled secretly, thinking she knew a lot, and explained to Li Cuihong with a smile:

"What's the point of earning a lot? After marriage, it all belongs to the husband's family. How much money can she give to her mother?"

Xu Qingyue blinked her eyes and asked innocently:

"Second aunt, how much money do you and eldest aunt give to grandma every year? Aunt, it's not easy for you and uncle to support grandma. When my brothers were young, they all lived in grandma's house. Mom, why doesn't grandma help you take care of the children? My brother and I have never lived in grandma's house."

Li Cuihong glanced at her aunt and thought, isn't this what Xiaoling tried so hard to stop? Li Cuihong was very dissatisfied with her mother's favoritism. They were both girls, so why did she help her brother's family but not her?

At that time, Xu Qingyue's child was about the same age as Xiaoling's. Her grandmother had to help her aunt take care of the children, so naturally she couldn't take care of her.

My aunt forced a smile on her face, but she was naturally uncomfortable in her heart. The old lady was old and often had minor illnesses, but these people didn't come to see her when she was sick. It would be fine if she didn't bring anything when she came back during the holidays, but she also had to bring something to her husband's house. She had been dissatisfied for a long time, and Xu Qingyue's words today touched her heart.

When the eldest and second aunts saw that their aunt looked unhappy, they felt even more resentful towards Xu Qingyue, but they couldn't show it at the moment.

My aunt and my uncle smiled and said:

"Xiaoling, you know that my son just started working this year and doesn't make much money. Not only can he not support the family, but your brother-in-law and I have to give him several thousand yuan every month. I really don't have any money."

Xu Qingyue knew that her cousin from her aunt's family was about the same height as her, less than 1.7 meters, with a face full of acne and eyes narrowed into slits. Most importantly, he was not only ugly, but also became lazy and gluttonous because of the doting of her aunt's family. He was an out-and-out mama's boy.

Xu Qingyue asked with a smile:

"Aunt, what does your eldest cousin do? He's so handsome and looks the most like you. Has he found a date?"

The aunt smiled unnaturally, always feeling that this girl had bad intentions.

"He found a job at a listed company. His supervisor asked him to manage hundreds or even thousands of people every day. The salary was a little less, but it would be good if he could be a regular employee. The company's leaders are very optimistic about him."

Second Aunt was envious when she heard this:

"Oh, my eldest nephew is so promising, he must not forget us when the time comes. He once came to my house for a meal when he was a child."

When my aunt heard this, her face was full of wrinkles from laughing.

"Then you can forget about his aunt no matter who you forget."

My aunt naturally didn't want to hear that, so she asked my second aunt:

"Second sister, your son has been working for several years. Tell me, this child is older than his brother (eldest aunt's son), but he was able to find a job so early. It's not easy."

The second aunt was so proud when she heard this, she took my aunt's hand and started to show off:

"He is quite sensible and doesn't spend money recklessly. He even wanted to give us 200 yuan every month, but we thought he didn't earn much, so we didn't take it."

The three sisters of the Li family seemed to be carved from the same mold: ugly, mean, and very smart. The eldest aunt was particularly stupid, the second aunt loved to take advantage of small opportunities and had done many sneaky things, while Li Cuihong was short-sighted and gullible.

Xu Qingyue seemed very happy for her second aunt, and she took the initiative to praise her:

"My second cousin is so filial. They say a son resembles his mother. It must be my second aunt who set a good example for him."

My aunt then added:

"Yes, second sister, you are also very good to our mother. Our mother said that she always misses you and wants you to take care of her for a month. I think you have time."

When the aunt heard this, she was immediately unhappy:

"Xiaoling, what do you mean? You mean Cuihong and I are unfilial and treat our mother badly, so our mother won't nag us."

Second Aunt was just thinking about how to shirk responsibility, but after hearing the stupid speech of First Aunt, she secretly laughed and called her "idiot".
