A new year, a new beginning; early in the morning, Zhulan bled a considerable amount of money, handing out red envelopes to all the branches of the family and to the children.
On the first day of the lunar new year, Zhou Shuren engaged his sons in a card game, with the too obvious aim of winning silver. In the end, Mingyun and the others found it too painful to watch.
Zhulan was speechless, but Zhou Shuren was quite happy. He didn't care whether his sons were deliberately losing; he was more concerned with the increasing amount of silver he won.
Chang Zhi was the first to bow out, for a very simple reason: he had lost all the pocket money he had saved up and the red envelopes he just received. Mingyun was then pushed to take his place.
Zhou the elder breathed a sigh of relief. They had all been bullying him just now!
