The main thing is to make money, and the rest is just a matter of convenience.

"No, it's Chinese New Year tomorrow, and no one has been here for three hours."

Qiu Jiu answered without blushing or beating his heart.

The foreign man looked at Qiu Jiu intently, trying to find any flaws in his eyes, but there was nothing, only a look of sincerity.

When the man was wondering whether to leave or continue asking questions, he suddenly heard a "creak" sound of a car stopping outside.

Qiu Jiu smiled and nodded to the foreign man, then quickly walked out of the bar and headed towards the door. He was afraid that it was An Xin who came over and asked about the situation of the person inside. In this way, the foreign man would be exposed without having to ask anything.

It was indeed An Xin who came. Qiu Jiu immediately went up to him, pinched An Xin's arm, and then said:

"Sir, welcome to the Xilai Hotel."

An Xin was full of suspicion after being pinched, but now being welcomed by Qiu Jiu, he knew that something must be wrong. He immediately understood and suppressed the doubts in his heart.

"There was a foreigner inside who came to look for the injured person. He said they were friends, but they didn't come together. One came in front of the other."

Qiu Jiu quickly and quietly explained the situation.

-

On New Year's Eve, Hua Yan gave Hua Jingxing face and did not argue with Liu Fengzhi. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; they had been really worried.

On the first day of the New Year, Hua Jingxing brought Hua Yan back to the village to wish Secretary Su a happy new year and talk about work.

Liang Dong insisted on following him no matter what. Deng Zhi thought that she had to go back to her parents' home to pay New Year's greetings on the second day of the New Year, so she brought her children back with her.

Only Liu Fengzhi, Hua Jiao and Hua Rong were left at home. Hua Rong looked at Hua Yan eagerly, wanting to follow but not daring to say it.

The car was driven away by Hai Yitian, and the few of them had to take the train back. They were afraid that Huarong would be cold, so they didn't take her with them.

"Be good, Guo'er. Sister will be back in the evening."

Hua Yan hugged Hua Rong and kissed her, feeling reluctant to let go.

"Yeah! I'll wait for my sister to come back."

Huarong nodded obediently with tears in her eyes.

Hua Yan brought a lot of things, big and small. When Hai Yitian came back earlier, Hua Yan asked him to bring back some books to enrich the village library.

Although they are no longer in the village, the library they worked so hard to build cannot be abandoned.

When they got off the bus, they saw Chai Lu waiting for them at the exit of the train station. Hua Yan had called Chai Lu in advance and asked him to arrange a tractor, otherwise they would have to walk back to the village, which would not only be tiring but also a waste of time.

"Dad Chai, Brother Chai Yuan, Happy New Year!"

When Hua Yan saw Chai Lu and Chai Yuan, she immediately wished them a happy new year.

"Okay! Okay! Here's a red envelope, take it."

Chai Lu hurriedly took out red envelopes from his pocket and gave them to the children. Liang Xin and Liang Yin also hurried to wish them a happy new year.

Chai Yuan also took out red envelopes, gave a thick one to Hua Yan, and the other two to Liang Xin and Liang Yin.

Everyone greeted each other and without wasting any more time, Liang Dong drove a tractor and took everyone to the village.

Chai Yuan looked at the tractor going away with a look of reluctance on his face. He also wanted to go with it, but he didn't know anyone in Shuanglou Village.

"Let's go, son. Go and pay New Year's greetings to your grandparents and spend some time with them. After the New Year, we'll be gone and won't be back for at least half a year."

Chai Lu pulled Chai Yuan and walked towards his parents' home.

As soon as the tractor arrived at the village entrance, it saw Old Lady Hua walking towards it from the opposite direction.

Not many families could afford tractors during that period, but Old Lady Hua didn't care at all because her son had a car, which was rare even in the town. Although she had never ridden in one, it didn't stop her from showing off.

"Humph! What's so cool about driving a junky tractor? We have a car at home."

Old Mrs. Hua spoke in a loud voice and spat in the direction of the tractor.

Although no one could hear what she said, her expression was extremely arrogant.

When the tractor came closer, Mrs. Hua saw that it was her son sitting on it.

"Hua Jingxing, you're a spendthrift. You don't even bother to drag your brothers and sisters down with you when you run a business. You even embarrass them, make them do the dirty work, and torture them in every possible way. Have you lost your conscience?"

As Old Lady Hua said this, she came over and was about to hit Hua Jingxing.

"Auntie, Happy New Year! What's wrong with you?"

Liang Dong quickly stopped the car and jumped out.

"What's wrong with me? You guys are enjoying the good life with Hua Jingxing, while letting my own son and daughter suffer. What's wrong with me?"

Old Lady Hua looked like she wanted to tear everyone apart, especially when she saw Hua Yan, she became even more furious.

After hearing what Old Lady Hua said, Liang Dong and Deng Zhi were unable to continue and looked at Hua Jingxing in confusion.

Hua Jingxing felt a breath stuck in his chest and was about to speak when Hua Yan spoke first.

"I say, Mrs. Hua, my dad asked them to go because he was giving you face. They don't have the ability and can't do it, and you think you can blame my dad.

No one begged them to come. You were like leeches, staring at my dad, and he had no choice but to agree.

I gave you a chance, but you didn't behave properly and are still cursing at me. How can you be so shameless? I feel like my dad is definitely not your biological son, otherwise it doesn't make sense."

It was only at this time that Hua Yan realized that Hua Jingyu and Hua Jingxian had been sent back.

"You're a money-loser. You have no right to speak. Get out of my way."

Old Mrs. Hua pointed at Hua Yan and raised her voice considerably.

"I don't know if I'm the one who's paying the bills or not, but your precious daughter and son are the ones who are losing money. They can't do anything and they never have enough to eat."

Hua Yan curled her lips, her eyes full of disdain.

"Get down here, or I'll beat you to death."

Old Lady Hua came over with her teeth bared and tried to grab Hua Yan.

Hua Yan didn't give in either. She stood up and jumped off the tractor.

No one expected Hua Yan to get off the car. Deng Zhi was the first to get anxious and got off the car as well. She had to protect Hua Yan.

Old Lady Hua broke free from her horse and pounced on Hua Yan, as if she was going to eat her alive.

Hua Yan doesn't want to pamper anyone now, let alone Old Madam Hua, even if it's Liu Fengzhi who gave birth to her, she won't give her face if she has any bad intentions.

When Hua Yan waited for Old Lady Hua to pounce on her, she quickly stepped back. With a loud thud, Old Lady Hua fell flat on her face. There was a medium-sized stone on the ground, which hit Old Lady Hua's face. Haha! Another of her few teeth fell out.

"Oh my God!" Old Mrs. Hua let out a long scream and raised her head with blood all over her face. She looked a little scary, which scared Liang Xin and Liang Yin. Even Liang Dong and Hua Jingxing were scared.

"Misfortunes sent by heaven can be forgiven, but those brought upon oneself cannot be forgiven! You are trying to steal a chicken but end up losing the rice."

Hua Yan stood by and watched the fun. Old Mrs. Hua didn't know that her face was covered in blood, she only knew that her teeth had fallen out.

Now there are many people walking on the street, going to visit relatives to wish them a happy new year. When they see Old Lady Hua's appearance, they all look at each other. Some look at Hua Jingxing in surprise, some can't help laughing out loud. In short, no one goes forward to help Old Lady Hua.

Deng Zhi was afraid that everyone might not know the truth, so he quickly said:

"Auntie, Jiu'er is still a child. She was frightened when you hit her! Look, you didn't hit her, and you fell down yourself. Hurry up and get up."

Deng Zhi saw someone approaching and hurried to help the old lady Hua.

"Wow! Aunt Liang, why did she hit me? I was wishing him a happy new year, and she hit me. Wow!"

Hua Yan is also a drama queen. Seeing Old Lady Hua like this, she wanted to laugh, but now for the sake of public opinion and influence, she can only pretend to cry.

"Don't cry, Jiu'er. Your grandma was impulsive and wanted to hit you."

As he spoke, Deng Zhi hugged Hua Yan in his arms with a distressed expression.

Hua Yan and Deng Zhi were acting here. Liang Xin and Liang Yin had already told everyone the whole story, but they didn't mention the episode where Hua Yan contradicted Old Lady Hua.

Everyone looked at Old Lady Hua with disdain, thinking, why doesn't she love such a good son and granddaughter, but only loves those two children who hate cats and dogs.

Oh! I don’t know what’s going on in this old lady’s mind.
