After transmigrating, I became a stepmother.

"Okay, okay, you're so nagging!" The boy jumped off the chair, muttering as he stuffed a piece of peanut brittle into his mouth, his voice somewhat indistinct.

Walking up to Lin Hao, he casually wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said, "Happy New Year, Auntie! Wishing you prosperity!"

Lin Hao was immediately embarrassed. She had just come back from outside and hadn't prepared any New Year's money or gifts.

She couldn't help but look at Gu Liunian, who gestured for Mo Ran to present the prepared items. Lin Hao was overjoyed.

That's awesome! No wonder she chose him as her sugar daddy; he's so easy to cling to! She's a genius at making choices!

Seeing Lin Hao's bright, adoring eyes, Gu Liunian used the act of drinking tea to conceal the smile on his lips.

Fu Gui'er accepted the New Year's money without even glancing at it, but immediately put the longevity lock that Gu Liunian had prepared around his neck, looking extremely pleased with it.

She turned around and went back to her seat to continue eating pastries, leaving Lin Hao awkwardly withdrawing her hand and forcing a smile from her still-open mouth.

This kid's speed really caught her off guard! She was already prepared to say "You're welcome," but unfortunately, she didn't get the chance to say it.

Perhaps feeling that her son's behavior was truly shameful, her cousin-in-law scolded, "You brat, you took something and didn't even know to thank me!"

Seeing her son engrossed in eating, oblivious to everything else, she could only smile apologetically at Lin Hao: "I'm so sorry to have troubled you, sister-in-law. I got up early this morning and the child didn't have time to eat anything. He's starving right now!"

"It's alright, it's alright, he's just a kid, he's growing up!" Lin Hao could only offer a perfunctory response.

"My sister-in-law is so generous. Let's not talk about that rascal. This is my youngest daughter, Fang'er. She's only four years old, but she's much more well-behaved than her brother!"

My cousin's wife pointed to the little girl standing next to her and nudged her in the back: "Quickly greet her, this is your aunt!"

The little girl was pushed forward a step and smiled sweetly at Lin Hao: "Fang'er greets Auntie, Auntie is so beautiful!"

Lin Hao was quite happy to be praised by such a little person, and replied, "Fang'er is very pretty too!"

She then gave out the prepared New Year's money and longevity locks. She had just seen them; one longevity lock depicted a carp leaping over the dragon gate, and the other a lucky bat. Clearly, Gu Liunian had made some preparations.

This time, the little girl thanked Lin Hao in a sweet, childish voice, giving Lin Hao a way to express the words he hadn't said earlier.

Lin Hao looked around, and she really didn't want to sit next to her cousin-in-law, so she stood there awkwardly.

Perhaps sensing her hesitation, her cousin-in-law began to scold her son: "You have no sense at all, come over and make room for your aunt!"

"She keeps nagging, but she didn't say anything herself!" the boy muttered reluctantly, while also taking away the plate of pastries.

"Please don't take offense, sister-in-law, have a seat!" The cousin's wife didn't think anything of her son's behavior and greeted Lin Hao with a smile.

Lin Hao smiled but didn't say anything, though she was wondering to herself, "Whose house is this?"

She looked at Gu Liunian with a questioning look in her eyes, wondering what was going on.

Gu Liunian gently shook his head, which only deepened Lin Hao's confusion.

Then they heard the old lady laugh and say, "You haven't been here for quite some years. Look, even Yu-ge'er's mother doesn't recognize you!"
