"Sister-in-law, you can't deceive people about this." Xiao Mei said anxiously.
"Even if the Provincial Committee rewarded us with five hundred thousand, what's it got to do with you?" Mother Xiao looked at the group, puzzled.
As the question arose, the group immediately became embarrassed. Xiao Mingguo looked at his younger brother, Xiao Minghua, Xiao Minghua looked at his older sister, Xiao Mei, and Xiao Mei turned her gaze back to her eldest brother, Xiao Mingguo. They looked at each other, each waiting for the other to speak.
"Of course, it's got nothing to do with it!" Xiao Mei quickly shook her head and said, "We're all family, how could we be after that money."
"Right, where's Xiao Han?" Xiao Mingguo asked, "I haven't seen our Xiao Han yet. I was planning to give him a red envelope."
"He's not at home!" Mother Xiao shook her head, then said, "He's been out for a few days now, the reporters were bothering him so much that he left."
"I see." Xiao Mingguo nodded.
