Fang Rao hesitated for a moment and then said, "Bai Jing has a very paranoid temper. She and I have never had bad relations before, but she always targets me.
Now that I think about it, she must have been jealous."
"Jealous?" This was even more difficult for Lin Mengya to understand.
"I am not related to her, and I have never even heard of this person. If it is because of his son, it is normal for her to resent me, but I always feel that it may not be that simple."
Fang Rao was also puzzled. .??.
She could feel that Bai Jing really wanted to plot against Lin Mengya.
But looking at what she did today, it didn't look like she was seeking revenge for her son, but rather like she wanted to drive a wedge between their young couple.
"Perhaps you feel that after you and your husband separated, you no longer have anyone to support you, right?"
Lin Mengya could only think like this for the time being.
But she probably never dreamed that Bai Jing would become a thorn in Bai Jing's side and a thorn in her flesh simply because she had a happy family and a husband who loved her wholeheartedly.
Since today was New Year's Eve, Aunt Fang didn't say anything to kick the person out after asking for her opinion again and again.
It was just that during the New Year's Eve dinner, Lin Mengya's family did not show up.
Firstly, they are outsiders and it is inconvenient to appear at other people's reunion dinners. Secondly, they are out of sight and out of mind, so as to avoid any conflicts with Bai Jing and the two elders of the Zhao family at the dinner table.
In the courtyard where Lin Mengya lived temporarily, she, Long Tianyu, and two babies, plus Cai Ru and Bai Su, the six of them had a lively reunion dinner.
In order to welcome Xiao Fubao, the new member of the family, even the eldest baby Mo Yan carefully prepared a gift for his sister.
Looking at the little girl sleeping soundly in the cradle, her heart was filled with tenderness.
Although her little Fubao encountered the most serious crisis in his life just after he was born, she believes that the little Fubao who grew up with everyone's love will be safe, healthy and happy.
After the sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, the six of them kept vigil together, told stories and played games.
It's just that although the six people are familiar with each other, they are still more or less deserted compared to the singing and laughing outside.
Long Tianyu and Bai Su both talked little. She and Cairu had two children, no matter how lively they were, there would be some shortcomings.
Soon, apart from the childlike chatter of the two children, the adults in the room gradually became quiet.
It made her a little drowsy.
In order to wake up, she patted her face a little harder.
No matter what happens, we still have to stay up late!
But just staring like this was not an option. Soon, Lin Mengya thought of a good idea.
"Why don't we play mahjong?"
Fortunately , Lin Mengya previously created many modern games in order to vigorously develop the non-Yecheng entertainment industry.
The initial games of landlord fighting, mahjong and pai gow have become popular in non-leaf cities.
Later, she created a game like Werewolf, and its prospects were unprecedentedly popular.
It's a pity that those games only become more lively when more people play them.
The four of them had no choice but to share a table of mahjong.
The other three adults all relied on her.
This also caused a very fatal drawback——
"What nonsense again! Cairu, you can't keep dancing like this to me!"
Lin Mengya looked away, but she pouted, a little dissatisfied.
Long Tianyu next to him was still snickering.
See, he's not that stupid. He feeds cards calmly, so he doesn't get scolded.
Cairu also had a look of helplessness on her face, "I really didn't mean to do it, it's just that I haven't played with this thing much before, and my master's skills are so superb that I am willing to lose."
Ha! Lin Mengya glanced at her contemptuously.
Not even a dog-legger is so well-behaved.
She threw the cards away and was too lazy to play. Unexpectedly, an anxious voice came from outside the door.
"Hey, hey, I haven't seen enough yet, why don't you stop playing?"
The people in the room were instantly alert.
Cairu and Bai Su even picked up their own weapons, ready to teach people outside a profound lesson at any time.
Lin Mengya gave them a wink, telling them to calm down.
Then, he raised his voice and said to the outside, "Qian Jinzi, aren't you happy watching it outside?"
The people outside immediately became silent.
I guess you're annoyed that you just said what's on your mind so easily?
In fact, there was someone outside and the couple had discovered this before.
But I found that they seemed to just want to hide and had no intention of coming in, so I ignored them.
But unexpectedly, he was seduced by a simple mahjong tile.
After exchanging glances with Long Tianyu, the latter confirmed that there was no danger to the people outside, Lin Mengya said again, "You don't go home to celebrate the New Year honestly, so what are you doing here? I can tell you, I don't
I’ll give you extra reward money.”
Qian Jinzi suddenly felt insulted!
He was so angry that he couldn't hide it anymore and jumped in as high as he could.
"Stop looking down on people! I'm not the kind of person who only recognizes money but not people. I just miss the little girl, so why don't you come over and take a look?
?"
After saying that, he was still worried that his words were not credible, so he angrily picked something off his neck and slapped it in front of Lin Mengya's face.
"Did you see it? This is a gift I carefully prepared for the little girl. I will keep it safe so that she can grow up to ten years old. Okay, I've also given you the gift. I'll say goodbye and say goodbye."
Qian Jinzi scratched his neck and turned around to leave.
But if that step had been a little bigger, Lin Mengya would have believed it.
This guy clearly didn't want to leave. He was rubbing his feet here and there, and he didn't go even half a meter away for a long time. It was really funny.
Lin Mengya lowered her head and saw that the thing Qian Jinzi gave seemed to be the teeth of some kind of beast.
Probably out of fear of scratching the baby's delicate skin, it has been polished to be very smooth, and there are still traces of blood-red lines on it.
She once heard Long Tianyu say that Qian Jinzi could use the blood flute to suppress Xiao Fubao's imprisonment, but at the same time he would take great risks, especially since every time the blood flute was used, it needed to be nourished with his own blood.
Thinking about it, the reason why the animal tooth necklace became what it is now is inseparable from Qian Jinzi's contribution.
Well, she has to accept this favor.
Seeing the man's dawdling, she immediately said calmly, "Since you're here, why don't you stay and have a drink as a favor?"
Qian Jinzi's mood immediately turned into elation.
Just look at it, he knows that he is quite popular.
But he still had to keep his proud look, hold his head high, and refuse sincerely, "It's not necessary, I have never been in the habit of taking advantage of others."
Lin Mengya was just about to give him a few more words of advice in line with his temper, when she heard Long Tianyu next to him speak calmly.
"Two thousand taels."
Qian Jinzi's eyes shone, but before his proud smile showed, he heard the man continue to say, "Deducted, if you disobey my wife's kindness again, then another three thousand taels will be deducted."
"Why? No deductions allowed!"
Qian Jinzi was like a little rooster with fried feathers, his flesh ached so much that his heart and liver trembled.
His big eyes were wide open, full of angry accusations.
But Long Tianyu didn't accept his trick. He took over his wife domineeringly and said coldly, "My wife has spent so much money, and your work attitude is not dedicated at all. So, I will deduct the money."
Qian Jinzi was so aggrieved that he wanted to cry.
When did he stop being dedicated?
The animal tooth necklace cost him a lot of effort, and he had to use his blood to warm it up three times a day.
This was given to him for free because of the generosity of the Gong family leader. It was the first time in his life and it was very precious!
Forest Mengya glared at her man.
Those who are older than the Chinese New Year know how to bully children.
Long Tianyu didn't feel ashamed at all.
In this world, except for him and those few brats in his family, no one can be wronged by her wife and condescend to coax her.
Don’t even think about the money string in front of you!
"Okay, he was joking with you just now. Thank you for your kindness. You stay with your friends and let's keep the New Year's Eve together."
Qian Jinzi pursed his lips.
He really wants to leave this time, huh! Such good intentions are not rewarded!
But Lin Mengya's next sentence made his legs stop.
"In our family, the younger ones all receive red envelopes."
Lin Mengya looked at Qian Jinzi with a smile and found that the other person could not help but peek at the few red envelopes she had just taken out.
"One more person means more excitement. If you don't keep it, then this red envelope -"
Although money and gold are rare in this life, there are advantages that cannot be taken advantage of.
And! Moreover, the wealthy head of the Gong family actually took out several gold leaves and stuffed them into red envelopes.
Suddenly, Qian Jinzi's eyes shone, and he couldn't control his feet. He sat down directly opposite Lin Mengya, his eyes glued to the two red envelopes.
"This, is this really for me?" Qian Jinzi stumbled a bit as he spoke, showing how greedy he was.
Lin Mengya also generously stuffed six gold leaves inside, folded them and handed them to the other party.
"I don't know how old you are, but I hope everything goes well for you next year."
Qian Jinzi’s hands are faster than his brain.
By the time he was feeling annoyed that he couldn't resist the temptation, the six gold leaves had entered his pocket smoothly and steadily.
Lin Mengya relaxed into Long Tianyu's arms.
Narrowing her eyes, she felt that the money in front of her was quite interesting at this time.
Of course, she will not forget the cruel methods the other party used.
It can only be said that it was probably because of the atmosphere today and the gift the other party gave to Xiao Fubao.
At least today, they can sit down calmly and spend the last day of the old year well.
Qian Jinzi is also a thick-skinned person. After receiving the red envelope and the people staying, he started the previously suspended card game spontaneously.
It's just that although he watched it with great interest, he still felt confused after getting started.
After successfully lighting a double cannon, Qian Jinzi made a grimace and shouted outside at the top of his lungs.
"You dumb mute, come quickly! If I lose all my money, I won't have any money to pay you back!"
