Chapter 554: 554, help wife steal alcohol

Fu Qi angrily spoke, “Ziyang, your Uncle Huo was originally mine, until your aunt suddenly appeared and stole him from me. If it hadn’t been for her, your Uncle Huo could have been your uncle. Do you understand?”

“…” Fu Ziyang remained silent.

“You should not listen to everything your aunt tells you. That woman is quite crafty! Ziyang? Ziyang?”

Fu Qi shouted several times, but all she heard was Fu Ziyang’s snoring.

Was he really asleep?

Fu Qi closed her eyes in irritation.

How long has this little scamp known Su Wanwan?

How could he be so quick to switch his loyalty?

What kind of fox-like charm did Su Wanwan use?

Brother Jingshen sides with her!

And now, even Fu Ziyang is doing the same!

It’s just infuriating!

Next door.

Huo Jingshen gave his wife a speechless look as she sat on the bed, with five red packets in front of her, which she was opening one by one.

First, she opened the red packet from old Master Huo.

“Grandpa gave me a New Year’s gift of 8,888 RMB!”

Then she opened the red packet from old Madame Huo.

“Wow, also 8,888 RMB, and a bank card!” Su Wanwan was shocked.

Even though she didn’t know how much money was on the card… there’s a bank card!

At least it should start at 100,000, right?

The thoughtful old lady even provided the password.

“Grandma is so good to me!”

It must be because she noticed how harsh a certain person was on her during the mahjong game, only giving her 3,000 thumb money each month, so she secretly gave her a bank card.

Grandma, you really are my sweet grandma!

Su Wanwan wanted to rush next door and give the old lady a big hug!

She was so moved that she was on the verge of tears.

Huo Jingshen gripped his hand as he looked at his wife’s shameless expression… it really was beyond words.

Then, Su Wanwan successively looked at the red packets from Huo Juncheng and Mingzhu.

The couple also gave 8,888 RMB each, probably the elders all decided on this amount, aiming for a good and lucky start.

Finally, Su Wanwan solemnly picked up the red packet from Huo Jingshen, “Now, it’s time to test you!”

Huo Jingshen: “…”

Su Wanwan opened up the red packet and pulled out a stack of RMB bills.

She exploded instantly, “Didn’t we agree on 10,000 RMB?”

Not even counting, the thickness clearly wasn’t that of 10,000!

Such a cheapskate.

Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, “Why don’t you count, sweetheart?”

“Why don’t you just tell me directly?”

“Don’t you love counting money the most, sweetheart?”

Su Wanwan: “…”

As if she is a mini tycoon!

Su Wanwan huffed twice and began counting the money.

A hundred, two hundred, three hundred…

Yum, smells good.

Finally, she finished counting. Su Wanwan frowned, “Why is it not 10,000!”

“New Year’s money is meant to ward off evil spirits and ensure safety. Why do you need so much?” Huo Jingshen said seriously.

“Who are you fooling?” Su Wanwan put away all the money.

“Aren’t you curious why it’s 7777?”

“Why?” Su Wanwan inquisitively asked.

“Because… Ride, Ride, Ride, Ride…”

“What do you mean?” Su Wanwan still didn’t understand.

“You’ll find out later, sweetheart.” After hinting, Huo Jingshen headed towards the bathroom after closing the bedroom door, “I’ll go fill up the bath.”

“Wait a minute!” Su Wanwan suddenly called out to him.

“What now?”

Su Wanwan rubbed her little hands together, wearing a somewhat flattering smile, “It’s New Year’s day, can I have a little drink?”

Huo Jingshen: “…”

That girl.

Is her alcohol addiction so strong?

“I was too shy to drink just now, only had two to three sips, yet the wine was really nice.” After saying this, Su Wanwan leapt from the bed and swayed Huo Jingshen’s arm back and forth, “Hubby, can you please go downstairs and sneak a couple of bottles of wine back?”

Huo Jingshen again: “…”

“Come on, hubby, hubby, hubby, please hubby…”

Each plea softer and sweeter than the last.

A movement flickered in Huo Jingshen’s eyes, “Okay.”

“I’ll keep an eye out for you!” Su Wanwan immediately ran over, opened the bedroom door, looked left and right, and gestured deceitfully, “Quick, there’s no one in the hallway.”

Huo Jingshen: “…”

It’s his own home, just going downstairs to get a bottle of wine. Why so sneaky?

“Hurry up!” Su Wanwan urged.

Before Huo Jingshen left, she reminded him, “Be careful, don’t let grandma and grandpa find out. I can’t destroy my good daughter-in-law image!”

“Mm-hmm.” Huo Jingshen replied casually and walked out of the room.

Su Wanwan immediately closed the bedroom door, went back and carefully stashed away the money from the red packets.

She was scared that after he returned he might confiscate it, so she hid all the money in the innermost part of her bag.

Now, he won’t be able to find it, right?

At last, she dodged a bullet!

As for Huo Jingshen.

As soon as he got downstairs, he found Huo Nuanyang still sitting on the living room sofa…watching the Spring Festival Gala?

Hearing the noise, Huo Nuanyang turned his head and nodded in greeting, “Brother.”

Huo Jingshen also nodded gracefully before heading toward the dining room.

But…

The bottles of red wine that were originally in the cabinet were gone.

He had no choice but to walk out again, “Nuanyang, do you know where the dining room’s red wine was put?”

Huo Nuanyang said, “I don’t know, maybe ask Aunt Xiu?”

There were only two housekeepers staying over for the New Year. After tidying up, they went back to their rooms to rest and watch the Spring Festival Gala.

Huo Jingshen didn’t want to disturb them, so he said, “I’ll go check in the kitchen.”
