Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

This year was a rare family reunion. Grandpa Tao and Grandma Tao were very happy. They prepared a lot of things to celebrate the new year.

Grandpa Tao took out a brush that he had not used for a long time and personally wrote the couplet. The other juniors also took out their own skills. Each of them created a couplet. After they finished writing, they paste the couplets on the door.

Grandma Tao gave all the servants a holiday and gave them red packets, telling them to go home for the New Year. Although the Tao family manor was much quieter without servants, it did not reduce the lively atmosphere at all.

Tao Zhi’s mother took out a stack of freshly cut window grilles and handed them to the three Tao brothers. “These are the new window grilles that Xiao Rou and 1 designed overnight. You guys go and paste them on the window.”” Before the window grilles were finished, Second Aunt Tao came over and called out to Mother Tao, “Sister-in-law, Mom said that we’re going to play cards. Do you want to come along?”

Mrs. Tao wasn’t very good at playing cards, but she would play with the old lady for a while during the new year to cheer her up.

“Alright, 1’11 go right away.” Mother Tao put on her coat and instructed her sons, “I’ll bring Xiao Rou over to play cards with Grandma first. You three can go over after you’re done here.”

Tan Rou didn’t know how to play cards. She said, “Why don’t I stick window grilles with Big Brother and the others?”

“How can 1 let my precious Rourou do such tiring work?” Mrs. Tao held her daughter’s hand and said with a smile. “Leave it to your brothers. They are more suitable for tiring work.”

Tao Zhi also said, “Xiao Rou, go with Mom first. Grandma likes to give out red packets when she plays cards. As long as she wins, she will give them out. Go over and bask in the joy.”

Tan Rou thought for a second and decided to go over to take a look.

Grandma Tao had already prepared the game for four people, but there were five or six people watching from the side. Those who didn’t know better would think that they were all waiting for Grandma Tao’s red packet.

Mother Tao played a few rounds, but her skills were not good and she kept remembering the wrong cards, so it was Aunt Tao’s turn. When Aunt Tao had nothing to do, she would ask her sisters to play cards together, so her card skills were the best.

This time, it was Grandma Tao’s turn to lose money. She was the kind of person who was skilled and loved to play. There was no need to worry about her giving out too many red packets because she would win all the time. Anyway, she would not win many rounds. Most of the time, it was the juniors who let her win.

Although they played it casually, the amount of money was very large. The money given to them was several times higher. For example, they were supposed to pay 20 yuan for losing a game, but they set the amount to loo yuan. It was boring to play with too little money.

As soon as Tan Rou entered the door, she sat beside Grandma Tao. Grandma Tao said that Tan Rou was her lucky star and that she could win money by sitting beside her. However, ever since Tan Rou sat beside her, she had not won a single round. The stack of cash in the drawer was almost gone.

“What’s going on today?” Grandma Tao asked in annoyance. “Why didn’t 1 win a single round?”

Tao Yue glanced at Tan Rou and smiled. “Perhaps it’s because of dear cousin?”

Tan Rou glanced at her and said, “Grandma, do you need me, your lucky star, to help you?”

Grandma Tao was a little surprised. “Does Rourou know how to play cards?”

“I don’t but I can try?”

Tao Yue understood what Tan Rou meant. “Eldest Cousin, did you really think you can play cards after watching it a few times, do you?” She mocked. “I’ve watched it for so many years, but I can’t understand how the game is played.” “Everyone’s different. Just because you can’t learn it doesn’t mean that others can’t,” Tan Rou said mercilessly.

“Well, learning it wouldn’t make you an expert in it.” Tao Yue continued. “You better not lose all of Grandma’s money.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t touch Grandma’s money.” Tan Rou said. “Let’s play a few rounds first. If we lose, it’s on me. If we win, it’s on grandma.”

Grandma Tao said generously, “Xiao Rou, don’t worry. If you don’t have enough money, 1’11 go get you more.”

Tan Rou didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Grandma, 1 haven’t even started playing yet. Why are you expecting me to lose?”

Grandma Tao spat out a few times. “Bah, bah, bah, I’m bad at talking. Our Xiao Rou won’t lose. She will kill everyone and win them all.”

Tao Yue despised her in her heart. She didn’t think Tan Rou knew how to play the game. When Tan Rou lost, she would laugh at her and vent her anger..
