Generosity and Innocence: A Family's Dilemma

"Yeah, yeah, take this money back. My mother said we can't accept it, and I agree," Li Chengyuan chimed in, his typically reserved demeanor giving way to a touch of innocence.

Jiang Lixia sighed at the family's sincerity and kindness. As she heard the coughing of the elderly Li from the adjoining room, she quickly proposed, "Mrs. Li, how about using this money for our father’s medical treatment? We can't afford to delay."

"That wouldn't be right..." The old lady Li hesitated, still reluctant to accept, but Lin Yanfen emerged, holding little Fu bao.

At the sight of Fu bao, Jiang Lixia couldn't help but feel drawn to her.

Despite being born into modest circumstances, Fu bao was undeniably adorable, like a little bundle of joy.

"Eh..." Fu bao's eyes lit up at the sight of the red envelope, her tiny hand reaching out towards Jiang Lixia.

Grandma, Dad, if someone offers you money, why refuse? If you won't take it, then I'll gladly accept it on your behalf.

"Yeah, this is Fu bao, such a pretty and sweet little girl! I've never seen a baby so lovely at just a month old; Fu bao is truly beautiful! When Fu bao grows up, she'll be a captivating beauty for sure. Yes!"

Jiang Lixia praised sincerely, her words heartfelt. Seeing Fu bao reaching for the red envelope, she swiftly placed it in Fu bao's hand, saying with a smile, "Fu bao, this is a gift from Auntie. Once you accept it, you can't give it back, okay?"

Don't worry, no need to return it.

Fu bao appeared innocent and adorable on the surface, but inwardly, she was pleased with herself.

"Grandma, you can't just take someone else's money and give it back," the old lady Li tried to retrieve the red envelope, but Fu bao clutched it tightly, refusing to let go. Seeing her grandma insist, she began to cry and stand her ground.

Seeing her daughter in distress, Mrs. Li intervened, suggesting, "Mom, look... Fu bao is crying. Perhaps it's best to let her keep it."

The old lady Li couldn't help but chuckle, "Is our daughter already so fond of money?"

How could they accept this? It felt embarrassing to take money for no reason, especially from someone unfamiliar.

Huo Zirui tugged at Jiang Lixia's sleeve and said softly, "Mom, let's give this money to Fu bao. Don't take it back; we'll use it to buy her tasty treats."

Mrs. Li hadn't anticipated this suggestion and smiled, "Fu bao is still too young to eat, so we'll save the money for you to buy something delicious later."

With that, she turned to Fu bao and whispered, "Fu bao, give the money to grandma and return it to the others."

"Waaah..." Fu bao began to cry once more, clutching the red envelope tightly.

Jiang Lixia seized the moment, "Grandma, since Fu bao is crying again, you should accept the money! If you don't, my son and I won't leave!"

Fu bao stopped crying upon hearing this, blinking innocently with teary eyes. She was so adorable that Jiang Lixia wanted to shower her with kisses and gifts.

At least Huo Zirui thought so, but he resisted the urge.

The more Jiang Lixia looked at Fu bao, the more she adored her. She couldn't help but declare, "Fu bao is so cute, she makes me want a daughter of my own. Now, this red envelope belongs to Fu bao. Don't even think about returning it to me; it's hers now."
