My niece, Lu Fengning, truly lives up to being the family’s bundle of joy: "Uncle Four, are you trying to make my dad and the other uncles gang up on you?"
Huo Jingrui belatedly looked at everyone and saw his brother-in-law and three brothers staring at him with resentful eyes.
Looking at the expressions of his sisters-in-law, he coughed lightly and said, "Yi’er is new here, so I naturally have to take extra care of her."
Lu Fengning, the little rascal, immediately stirred things up, "Uncle Four is blushing."
Huo Jingrui gave his niece a ’just you wait’ look and continued his great endeavor of serving food, as his thick skin shielded him from their teasing.
But he did grow wise and served quite a bit to his own mother as well.
Jiang Jingya jokingly said to Yunyi, "Yiyi, I’m grateful to you. This boy is showing some heart."
Overall, the dinner was a harmonious affair.
It reminded Yunyi of a saying, borrowing a bit: whether the Huo Family is chaotic or not depends on Duan Zhuangyu.
Look, as long as she doesn’t stir things up, it’s all joy and harmony.
After dinner, everyone didn’t stay long, as they had work and school the next day.
Yunyi prepared a gift for each family as a gesture of thanks for their busy help over the past few days, and together with Huo Jingrui, they watched everyone leave before heading back inside.
As soon as they entered, Jiang Jingya beckoned to Yunyi, "Yiyi, come sit."
Yunyi walked over and saw the ledger on the coffee table, "Mom, what’s this?"
Jiang Jingya smiled, "After they got married, I didn’t keep any of the gift money, you’ll be the same. Here is today’s gift ledger and money for you to keep."
Yunyi initially didn’t want to accept it, as most of the gift money was intended for her parents-in-law, not to mention future reciprocation.
Jiang Jingya naturally saw her intention, "That’s how it is for their siblings, there’s no need to decline."
Huo Jingrui nodded slightly to Yunyi, "Since it’s from mom and dad, just accept it."
