Taking Liu Yifei back to Northeast China for the Chinese New Year has sent the entire internet into

Liu Yifei looked at the hand outstretched in front of her.

Palms facing up, fingers long and slender.

If this were in an idol drama, it would definitely be a close-up of the male lead passionately inviting the female lead to dance.

But now, the owner of this hand is staring intently at her with a look that says, "Hurry up and pay me."

Liu Yifei took a deep breath, her chest heaving violently.

I've never been so speechless in my life.

She reached into her pocket and pulled out the thick red envelope.

Tear open the seal.

Inside was a stack of brand-new 100-yuan bills.

Liu Yifei didn't even count; she simply cut it in half.

He pulled out half of it and slapped it hard into Fang Yu's palm.

"Here you go!" The voice was almost squeezed out through clenched teeth.

Fang Yu tightened his grip on the money.

He flicked his thumb quickly along the edge of the banknote, and hearing the crisp "clatter," his face scrunched up in a wide grin.

"Thank you, sis! You're so generous!"

"Wishing you great fortune and many romantic opportunities this year!"

Liu Yifei's face turned ashen; she didn't even want to look at him.

She stood up, put on her shoes, turned around and walked quickly out without looking back, going back to her room to sleep.

Fang Yu got up from the ground and looked at the half stack of banknotes in his hand.

A thought flashed through my mind.

Am I being a bit too harsh?

She's a national goddess, after all. She came all the way here for the New Year, only to be tricked into kowtowing repeatedly and then extorted out of half of her New Year's money.

This thought lingered in Fang Yu's mind for a full second.

Then, he patted the money in his palm and hummed a cheerful tune.

"Congratulations on your fortune! Congratulations on your amazing success!"

Fang Yu strolled back to her room with a smug look on her face, stuffed the money under her pillow, took off her clothes, and pulled the blanket over her head.

"Sleeping! That's how simple and unpretentious the lives of the rich are!"

In the live stream, viewers who stayed up all night to watch the show witnessed the whole thing, and the chat exploded with comments.

Holy crap, he actually took it! That was a red envelope his own mother was giving to her future daughter-in-law!

[Fang Yu's skin is so thick, even a missile couldn't penetrate it, right?]

[Poor Fairy Sister! Anyone in Northeast China offering to play for her? Hefty reward offered!]

[Fang Yu's move is the most hardcore, single-by-strike strategy on the entire internet!]

New Year's Day.

It was just getting light outside.

Fang Yu slept until he woke up naturally.

He rubbed his eyes, yawned, got out of bed, and pushed open the door to his room.

The atmosphere was off the moment I stepped into the main room.

Fang Daqiang and Zhao Guifang sat side by side on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), arms crossed, their faces ashen.

Two pairs of eyes stared intently at him.

Beside the elderly couple, Liu Yifei held an enamel mug and sipped hot water slowly.

She tried her best to hide it, but the barely suppressed smile at the corner of her mouth betrayed her extremely happy mood at that moment.

Fang Yu's heart skipped a beat.

broken.

The fairy sister has gone astray; she's learned to tattle on others!

Sure, Liu Yifei!

You've only been here a few days and you've already unlocked a new skill!

If things continue like this...

Wow, I can't even imagine.

But Fang Yu wasn't flustered at all.

I even felt like laughing.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year!

Northeast China's ironclad rule: Do not hit or scold children on the first day of the Lunar New Year!

Who dares to break the rules passed down from our ancestors?

And I... I guess I'm a child too!

Fang Yu stretched and grinned as he moved closer.

"Dad, Mom, you're up so early? Happy New Year!"

Zhao Guifang snorted coldly.

"Okay? I'm perfectly fine."

"I heard you were pretty good last night?"

Fang Daqiang also chimed in with a stern face.

"You've gotten quite the big shot, haven't you?"

"You even dare to scam Yifei out of her New Year's money?"

Upon hearing this serious accusation, Fang Yu immediately cried out that he was wronged.

"Dad! Mom!"

"You can eat anything, but you can't say anything!"

What constitutes a lie?

He pointed to Liu Yifei, who was watching the show from the side.

"She said it herself last night: as long as I call her 'sister' and kowtow to her, she'll give me half of the red envelope."

"This is an equivalent exchange! This is the spirit of a contract!"

"How can you call it cheating when I earned the money by kowtowing myself?"

Liu Yifei almost choked to death on a mouthful of hot water.

She put down her teacup and stared at Fang Yu with wide eyes.

How can this person say such shameless things so confidently?

"You...you were the one who tricked me first, saying that unmarried people had to kowtow!" Liu Yifei couldn't help but retort.

Fang Yu spread his hands.

"That's an introduction to local customs!"

"Besides, it was you who offered to split the red envelope in half so I could kowtow to you."

"I strictly followed the client's requirements!"

Liu Yifei was furious.

When it comes to eloquence, even ten of her tied together wouldn't be a match for Fang Yu.

Is there really no one here today who can teach this heinous villain a lesson?

Early risers in the live stream burst out laughing when they saw this.

[Such an exciting laning match on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year? Worth it!]

Fang Yu's logic is impeccable! Even outlaws would have to offer him a cigarette.

[The fairy sister is still too inexperienced; she can't possibly win an argument with this sixth brother.]

[Oh no, is there no one in this family who can handle Fang Yu? Is there no law left?]

Fang Daqiang was so confused by his son's twisted logic that he didn't know how to refute him for a moment.

Just then, Zhao Guifang, who had been stationed in the central command, finally made a move.

She didn't look for the broom bristles, nor did she pick up the soles of her shoes.

She simply looked at Fang Yu calmly, a mysterious smile playing on her lips.

"Okay, you make a good point."

"Earned through my own abilities, there's nothing wrong with that."

Fang Yu was taken aback.

You passed the test so easily?

This is not like his mother's personality.

Before he could figure it out, Zhao Guifang gave Fang Daqiang a look without making a sound.

Fang Daqiang understood immediately, stood up with a serious expression, and strode out of the house.

Fang Yu was stunned. What was Old Fang doing so early in the morning?

Before he could ponder it further, Zhao Guifang's tone suddenly became incredibly gentle.

So gentle it sends chills down your spine.

"But what did you just say?"

"Those who are not married are all considered children."

"You said that, didn't you?"

Fang Yu felt an extremely ominous premonition.

"Mom, what are you trying to do?"

Zhao Guifang smiled like a benevolent Bodhisattva.

"Since you're a child, Mom will keep your New Year's money for you for now."

"After you get married and start your own family, Mom will give it to you exactly as it is."

Fang Yu was struck dumb, frozen in place.

magic!

This is magic defeating magic!

He fooled Liu Yifei with the excuse of "traditional customs".

His mother punished him using "traditional customs"!

Mom will save your New Year's money for you!

This phrase can be described as a universally recognized childhood trauma curse across the country.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, it accurately hit a 23-year-old adult.

However, Fang Yu quickly came to his senses and let out a cold laugh.

"Mom, you think you can fool a three-year-old with that kind of talk!"

"Trying to fool me? Too late!"

He crossed his arms and leaned against the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).

He adopted a tough-guy stance, determined to defend his property to the death.

"Use whatever means you have!"

"I will absolutely not hand over a single penny!"
