After being beaten by Li Mei for a few times, Lao Yu still expressed his concerns, "It's not right to chase people away within an incense stick of time after returning home."

Lao Yu usually idles around in the village and likes to deal with others. He is the kind of person who has no ability and loves face, and dares to bully others at home. This is also part of the reason why he adopted Yu An. Of course, the main reason is to be able to openly occupy Yu An's family's land.

"Then what do you want to do?"

"Or let Yu An and his family finish their meal before leaving?" Lao Yu said tentatively.

Li Mei's eyes widened after hearing this, and she punched Lao Yu twice, angrily: "You still want to invite them to dinner? The food at home is free!"

Lao Yu sighed, "How about this, go get a piece of red paper, I'll wrap a red envelope to send them away."

This way, even if outsiders see that Lao Yu didn't invite anyone to dinner, he still gave a red envelope, which is reasonable.

Li Mei wanted to say something, but she also knew her partner very well, so she agreed reluctantly, and finally asked: "How much?"

Lao Yu thought that it wouldn't be visible if it was wrapped in red paper, so there was no need to wrap too much. When the time comes, he will give it out in front of everyone in the village. In this way, he will have both face and money.

"Five cents." Lao Yu replied.

Li Mei turned her head and snorted lightly, that's good enough, go get him some red paper.

Ying Youchu almost fell asleep waiting in the hall, and then Lao Yu and Li Mei came out, and Li Mei didn't have any water in her hand.

"Auntie, where is our water?" Ying Youchu asked knowingly.

Li Mei pursed her lips impatiently and said perfunctorily, "I just remembered that there is no cup at home."

Ying Youchu was not annoyed, "Oh, then all right," he turned to look at Lao Yu, "Father-in-law, I can take the civil service exam again next year. Believe me, I will pass this time. By then, I will be an official and make a fortune. Your family's land can also be registered under my name, so you don't have to pay national taxes, so can you lend me some money?"

Lao Yu thought to himself, you are here to borrow money, and when you pass the exam, you might as well pin your hopes on my grandson.

"It's a good thing that you have this intention, but how much money can we earn by digging for food in the fields," Old Yu casually found an excuse and said, "It's getting late. The Zhang family had something to do with us yesterday, so we won't keep you for dinner."

Yu An finally waited until his uncle ordered him to leave, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Ying Youchu knew that Yu An was restless here, and he didn't plan to tease Old Yu any more. He went with the flow and stood up with Yu An to say goodbye briefly and planned to let them go, but Old Yu insisted on seeing them out the door, so he knew there was someone waiting for him behind.

As soon as the door was opened, there were several people outside, just as Ying Youchu expected, including the aunties he had greeted when he came.

At this time, Lao Yu took out the red envelope he had prepared in advance and said loudly: "Hey, Xiao Yu, it's not easy for you to come here. There is nothing else in the uncle's house. You must accept this red envelope."

As he said, Lao Yu stuffed it into Yu An's pocket. Yu An was surprised that his uncle suddenly became generous, but with so many people watching, he definitely couldn't accept it. Just as he was thinking about how to refuse, the red envelope was taken away by Ying Youchu.
