Chapter 244: Chapter 243: Going to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative

“San Ya, you’re another year older as the new year comes, you must continue to study hard next year, strive to get into university, and bring honor to our ancestors,” Jiang Dashan also instructed.

“I know, Grandpa,” Jiang Mianmian said obediently.

As Sun Lixia and her husband finished handing out red envelopes, she turned to Jiang Changhai, trying to please him, “Eldest brother, you’ve made so much money this year. During this grand Lunar New Year celebration, shouldn’t you also hand out some lucky money to the children to match the festive spirit?”

“Sure, that’s a good idea. Our family changed policies this year, and everyone has some extra cash. I think all of us elders should give the kids some lucky money.”

Jiang Changhai didn’t really care about the money, but he wasn’t willing to let Sun Lixia take advantage.

Upon hearing this, Sun Lixia was immediately unhappy. Is the eldest’s brain not working?

The second branch of the family has four children, but her own family has just two. The lucky money she’d give out wouldn’t be coming back, how could she agree to such a losing deal?

However, Sun Lixia seemed to forget that, by her logic, the main branch with only one child would be the biggest loser.

She even tried to manipulate, “Eldest brother, the way you talk, our small amount of cash can’t compare to yours. You hand out money to the children this year, and next year, when we have more money, we’ll do it.”

Jiang Changhai scoffed, “You wish, I never do a losing deal. Either we all give, or none of us do.”

One sentence left Sun Lixia with nothing to say, and she began cursing internally.

How stingier the richer, indeed.

Blinking not an eye when stashing things away for herself, and now she begrudges giving the children some lucky money, how about strangling this miser to death?

Although he decided against giving lucky money, Jiang Changhai magnanimously declared, “Kids, come, Uncle will take you to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative for some treats.”

“Uncle, really? You’re really going to take us to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative for treats?” The two boys exclaimed in surprise.

Because Sun Lixia always said their uncle was miserly, the two brothers had always felt their uncle was stingy.

The girls from the second branch looked at Jiang Changhai full of anticipation; they had never been to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative before.

“Of course, why would I lie to you, kid?” After saying this, Jiang Changhai led Jiang Mianmian out first.

The children immediately followed him with great excitement: “Oh oh, off to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative!”

Zhang Guihua saw the eldest leading the houseful of children to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative and quickly followed to the door, shouting, “Eldest, don’t splurge, just buy something for the two boys, don’t buy for the girls, it’s a waste of money.”

Jiang Changhai heard his mother’s biased instruction but didn’t respond, just continued leading the children on his own.

They were all his siblings’ children, and he certainly didn’t lack that bit of money; why treat them differently?

Sun Lixia was still inwardly cursing Jiang Changhai for being stingy, miserly, and crafty, she didn’t expect that he would take the children to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative again.

At this moment, she didn’t know whether to feel angry or to secretly smile.

Anger because she knew Jiang Changhai had just deliberately made her lose face in front of the family.

Glad because her two sons could go to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative to shop, regardless of what they bought, it was definitely a better deal than a single penny in a red envelope.

Once the group arrived at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, Jiang Changhai asked the bunch of little followers, “What do you all want?”

Zhiwen was the first to answer, “Uncle, I want candy and marbles.”

“I also want candy and marbles,” Zhiwu raised his hand and jumped, afraid that Jiang Changhai wouldn’t hear his request.
