It wasn't just because they didn't have much contact, but also because they always came to her house to ask her mother for help with this and that, and made a fuss if she didn't help. Especially in the first two years after they moved to L City, there was never any peace at home.

The most noisy family on dad's side is my eldest aunt's family, and the most noisy family on mom's side is my eldest aunt's family. In addition, the grandmothers and great-grandmothers on both sides are the kind of unreliable heads of the family. Fortunately, they don't live together and don't interact often, otherwise, she is afraid that she will be affected and grow up in a wrong way.

In previous years, going back to the village during the holidays was like reporting for duty to her, although sometimes she would encounter bad things, such as her grandmother nagging about her children being unfilial, or her grandmother urging her mother to help her aunt more. She would get annoyed after hearing this too often.

Now, she is not even needed to respond to occasions. Chao Shuyu is naturally very happy. She will be happy even if she does not go anywhere tomorrow.

The first day of the new year was no different from any other day for the mother and daughter who did not have to go out to pay New Year's greetings. They just treated it as if they were traveling and staying in a hotel after Shu Yu's holiday in the previous dynasty. If they wanted to go shopping, they could go shopping. If not, they could just stay in the hotel and rest.

Hua Lingling could stay in the house, but Chao Shuyu couldn't. When she went out for a stroll, she received a New Year's red envelope from the hotel manager. Although it was only five dollars, Chao Shuyu was very happy.

The next day, Hua Lingling got up early, bought a trunk full of various holiday gifts, rented a car and went to her parents' home.

Now that she was not short of that little bit of money, there was no need for her to squeeze into a bus with so many other people just to save a few hundred dollars. If she was unlucky, she would have to stand all the way, and the gifts she brought might even be snatched away by those who got off the bus earlier.

She had also encountered this situation and witnessed it with her own eyes.

It can be seen that this situation happens quite often.

This time when she went back to her parents' home, Hua Lingling brought her old mobile phone with her. After blocking her ex-husband's family, she put it in her pocket. Maybe everyone thought that her number was turned off and no one called her, which gave her a lot of peace and quiet.

This kind of tranquility only lasted until he entered Wang Hongying's house.

When I entered Wang Hongying's home, I was faced with my mother, brother, sister-in-law and several nephews, all of whom had gossipy gleams in their eyes.

My eldest sister and her family are now living in another place and have not come back for several years. They said they would come back to farm after their second son got married. But when someone else had a child, I still had to go and take care of the child. I also had to clean the house and cook meals for the family. If I don’t have money, I will be despised by my children and grandchildren. My eldest sister’s husband went to guard the gate of the factory again.

As for the two brothers' families, everything remains the same as before. Several nephews and nieces are still unmarried. As for whether they have a partner, Hua Lingling is not sure.

"Mom! Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year, big brother and big sister-in-law, big brother and big sister-in-law!"

After greeting each other with Happy New Year, the family sat in the house affectionately. Hua Lingling hadn't even had a sip of hot tea before her mother pulled her into the inner room and started talking to her.

It's just a long story. My daughter is already 40 years old. If she doesn't remarry Chao Mingyue, no one will want her. When she gets old, she will be alone. If she has an affair and becomes stinky, maybe no one will know...

Hua Lingling didn't want to quarrel with Wang Hongying during the New Year's Day, and she also had her own little thoughts when she came this time. What if there was no chance in the future?

She had a premonition in her heart that something might happen to her this year.

She listened attentively but didn't nod in agreement. The angry old lady slapped and pinched Hua Lingling. Anyway, it was winter and she was wearing thick clothes, so Hua Lingling didn't feel any pain. It was just that listening to it too much made her feel bad and she felt regretful every time she did it.

"Mom, the food is ready, let's eat!"

Ji Zhaodi spoke up to save Hua Lingling, who had been nagged by her mother for two hours, and was also given a sympathetic look.

At the dinner table, everyone couldn't help but have a deep discussion on the issue of Hua Lingling's divorce. Everyone had the same opinion, and everyone was persuading Hua Lingling to remarry. I don't know how they could be so unified in their minds, as they had been constantly in conflict before.

Hua Lingling said nothing, feeling regretful again.

Seeing that there was no way to discuss Hua Lingling's question and lunch was about to end, Hua Xiaofang quickly nudged Ji Zhaodi with her elbow, frowning and silently reminding her of something.

Ji Zhaodi lowered her eyes, feeling that this was not a good time, but she had to speak.

"Mom, my second brother, his second aunt, and my little sister. Xiaofang found a boyfriend at the factory last year. The young man is also from our area. The village is near the town. He is four years older than Xiaofang. He has three older sisters, all of whom are married. His family wants to arrange the wedding for the two this year and plans to arrange it before he starts working."

Ji Zhaodi felt her face burning, but this young man was the one her daughter had chosen and she was determined to marry him. She had been at home for several days and insisted on getting engaged before going to work. The man hadn't expressed anything yet, and she was in such a hurry to get him, only her own daughter could do that.

"Xiaofang works on the sixth or seventh day of the Lunar New Year, right? How many days are left? Why is this family so unreliable?"

After Liu Wenhua had finished her meal, she was cracking melon seeds. The crackling sound made Ji Zhaodi upset. She glared at her, but she found that the other person just lowered his head to drink tea, so her punch hit the cotton, while the other person kept chattering.

"Why didn't you mention the engagement when you came back before the New Year? Are you trying to save money on this New Year gift for your father-in-law? This family is really calculating and stingy!

My niece! I tell you, you must not marry into a family that is so stingy and calculating! "

"Second Aunt, you can't say that! My boyfriend's family treats me very well!"

Hua Xiaofang retorted unhappily.

"When I went to his house, his mother prepared four dishes. When I left, his grandmother gave me a red envelope of 200 yuan. If we hadn't returned so suddenly, his three sisters would have been there too!"

Liu Wenhua curled her lips when she heard this.

"Every household is well off now. Your future daughter-in-law is here for the first time, but her mother prepared four dishes for her. Who is she trying to embarrass? At least eight dishes and one soup are required.

His grandma gave you a red envelope? What about his mom? Don't say anything, right?

And his three sisters, what do you mean you came back so suddenly? You didn't even call your eldest brother and sister-in-law to tell them before you came home? Your partner didn't tell your family in advance?

I think it's obvious that the man's mother doesn't like you! Otherwise, why would she look down on you like this?

You're still thinking about getting engaged to a family like this? Don't let them bully you and make you cry every day at your parents' house!"
