After eating the New Year’s Eve dinner at home, Jiang Tian went to the He’s house again, carrying several dishes prepared by the restaurant.

The lights at the supermarket entrance were still on. The He family's elders had already prepared a large New Year's Eve dinner, waiting for their granddaughter to come and celebrate the New Year together.

"Grandpa and grandma, happy new year, may you have more abundance every year!"

"Okay, okay! Come over and have a bite with us. We'll give you New Year's money after you're done." Grandpa He pointed to the seat next to him with a smile.

Jiang Tian brought out several hot dishes from the basket, and the He family’s large round table was almost full of them.

Knowing that Jiang Tian had already had a meal at her biological mother's house, the two elders did not force her to have another meal. They just poured her a glass of orange juice, picked up a pair of chicken wings, and let her nibble on them slowly while she accompanied the two elders for the reunion dinner.

At the same time, Han Jisong was also having a reunion dinner with his grandfather in his new home on the provincial road.

Grandpa Han is now an old man envied by everyone in the village.

Originally, everyone in the village thought that as an old widower raising a non-blood-related grandson, he must have a hard life.

Who would have known that Han Jisong's adopted grandson would be so promising? He not only built a brand new brick house for the old man on the side of the provincial road, but also hired several carts to go to the new province to trade local dried goods, mutton, leather materials and the like.

It is said that when you deposit the money you earn in the bank, the bank will spend a long time counting it!

How much does that cost?

Thinking about how good Han Jisong was at making money, many families in the village became interested.

There are people who want to propose marriage to Han Jisong.

Some people want to marry him as their son-in-law.

There are even more outrageous things. Some people want to find a companion for Grandpa Han and become Han Jisong's cheap grandmother.

Han Jisong knew what was going on, but he kept it to himself and said nothing before the Chinese New Year. He waited until the Chinese New Year was almost here, and suddenly he took Grandpa Han to move to a new house that had just been built on the provincial road.

After the Chinese New Year, they didn't plan to return to the village to live. Anyway, when they were poor, they didn't have many relatives and friends in the village. Now that they have some money, there is no need to find so many "second ancestors" for themselves.

Grandpa Han laughed at his grandson for being timid.

Unexpectedly, Han Jisong readily admitted:

"You can make money again, but you only have one grandfather."

"I don't want someone to plot against you for money when I'm not at home one day."

"If they really only want money, that's fine. What I'm afraid of is that someone would kill for money."

Don't think that all country people are simple and kind.

Han Jisong has been making a living by selling things in the countryside since he was very young. What kind of people has he not seen?

A few years ago, a tragedy happened in the town next to them. A migrant worker was crushed to death by a truck on a construction site. The owner of the construction site paid more than 10,000 yuan in compensation.

As a result, just for this little money, the mother-in-law forced her daughter-in-law to marry her younger son. The daughter-in-law refused and made a fuss for a long time. Half of the compensation was taken away by the mother-in-law and brother-in-law. She took the other half and found a man to remarry.

After she got married, she found out that this second-married man was actually a compulsive gambler. In less than half a year, he lost all the thousands of dollars she had and even sold her son to pay off his gambling debts.

In the end, the woman gave the gambler a bowl of noodles with rat poison added, poisoning him to death, and she herself was sent to prison.

It was a pity for the two children. They were kicked out by the family their mother later married into. Their grandmother also didn’t want them. No one knew where they went later…

Han Jisong was not the kind of person who looked down on his poor relatives just because he made money. He was just afraid that his grandfather would be soft-hearted. If he trusted the wrong person and was cheated of money, that would be a small matter. But if he met someone who wanted to kill him if he didn't give him money, like the remarried woman mentioned above, he couldn't really kill anyone. So how could he get rid of that person?

Instead of falling out with the villagers at that time, it would be better for each other to remain kind.

Even relatives are more fragrant when they are far away, but smell more terrible when they are near. Han Jisong thinks that it is similar among neighbors.

Being far away from them, I don't feel unbalanced because I can't see how much money they make every day.

Those who want to plot against them won’t be able to find them easily.

…

It’s funny to say that this year during the Chinese New Year, almost everyone who was close to Jiang Tian chose to stay on the provincial road to celebrate the New Year.

Except for Han Jisong, Yao Huifen and her family did not return to the village.

I used to have no home to return to. My ex-husband had remarried, and my parents' home didn't even have a place to live.

If it were the former Yao Huifen, perhaps in order to give her two children a "complete home", she would really find a divorced partner and marry him with the children.

But now, she no longer needs to envy others for having a family.

Because she used her own hands to build a new home for her two children.

Ever since Hu Qiongfang started to distribute dividends to her as the store manager, Yao Huifen decisively took back the two storefronts that she had rented out.

Anyway, the annual rent is not that much, and she is worried about her children at home because there is a stranger living in the front room.

During this year's Spring Festival, Yao Huifen cleaned up the two front rooms and divided them into three rooms, one large and two small, just enough for the three of them, one room each.

When He Chunling and her brother went home for the holidays, they were very happy to see that they had their own rooms.

What made them even happier was that Yao Huifen said that this year they would not return to the village to celebrate the New Year.

There is no need to wish New Year's greetings to those relatives who speak in a sarcastic manner.

There is no need to rack your brains every day, put on a smiling face, and deal with relatives and neighbors who ask how much money Yao Huifen has made and when Yao Huifen will find someone to remarry...

It’s great that the three of them can spend the New Year in peace and quiet!

When she was a child, He Chunling felt that the home was lively only when guests came during the Chinese New Year.

But when I grew up, I found out that the malicious temptations, calculations and scrutiny from relatives actually turned the "festival" into a "tribulation".

In order to entertain relatives and friends, my mother has to stay in the kitchen all day, cutting vegetables, cooking, washing pots and dishes, and she is busy sweating even in the middle of winter.

The brother and sister couldn't stay in their room to read or do homework, and had to chat with their relatives while eating melon seeds.

In comparison, although there were only three people in their family celebrating the New Year this year, the atmosphere was happier than in previous years.

Yao Huifen made a lot of money this year and bought a lot of New Year's goods. Together with the "benefits" given out by the store, there were so many candies and snacks at home that they could not be eaten up. The siblings got up early in the morning and never stopped eating.

When it was time to eat the New Year's Eve dinner, unlike before, the delicious food at home was given to dad and uncle first. Yao Huifen cooked a large table of dishes, and the various delicious dishes almost made the siblings die of hunger.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, the brother and sister received a thick red envelope of New Year’s money.

When I opened it, it turned out to be a brand new stack of Big Unity!

When I counted them, there were actually ten of them!

On the night of New Year's Eve, with ten big unity sheets under their pillows and listening to the lively sound of firecrackers outside, Yao Huifen and her two sons unexpectedly slept until eight o'clock in the morning of New Year's Day!

No one urged them to get up and make dumplings.

There aren't so many familiar and unfamiliar relatives to entertain.

This kind of Spring Festival is what they really want~
