Best friends transmigrate into a book! They marry a high-ranking official! If you run, I run too!

Wang Gang was pleasantly surprised by the child's thoughtfulness and nodded happily, "Okay, Uncle eats, Uncle eats."

"Qiuqiu eats too."

Inside the house, Li Hua took the fried dough sticks and placed the cloth bag she had brought on the table. She then opened it to show Wang Xiaohui, saying, "I thought it would be inconvenient for you to be with the child, so I brought you some steamed buns and dumplings."

I'm worried about inconvenience, but I'm really worried that she won't have it.

They had witnessed Qiu Yuefang's ruthlessness firsthand.

A man who won't let his daughter-in-law eat while breastfeeding his baby—what kind of good person is that?

Now that they live separately, and Lin Jinghui is with his mother's side, he doesn't give Wang Xiaohui anything during harvest time. It's probably impossible for him to remember to give her anything during the New Year.

Even if Lin Jinghui wanted to, Qiu Yuefang probably wouldn't agree.

Qiu Yuefang disagreed, and expecting Lin Jinghui to stand firm was also impossible.

If he were tough, he would have been tough long ago.

It shouldn't have taken this long.

I never expected my daughter to fry dough sticks and sugar cakes.

Tears welled up in Li Hua's eyes; she was so happy.

Looking at the bag full of steamed buns and dumplings, tears welled up in Wang Xiaohui's eyes.

Her family was just an ordinary family, not well-off.

This bag of steamed buns and mantou was entirely saved from the food of other people.

But the fact that such a bag of steamed buns and dumplings was delivered shows that her family members didn't object, and that they all care about her.

After showing Wang Xiaohui the contents of the cloth bag, Li Hua casually asked, "It's almost Chinese New Year, have your mother-in-law and Jinghui come to invite you to celebrate the New Year with them?"

Wang Xiaohui shook her head; she felt no sadness whatsoever about the matter.

Honestly, if Lin Jinghui really came to ask her to spend the New Year with Qiu Yuefang, she would probably curse him out.

She had made up her mind to never have anything to do with Qiu Yuefang again.

It's no use what anyone says.

She won't change anything.

"I won't go, and it's impossible for me to go even if I said I would."

Although Wang Xiaohui said that neither Lin Jinghui nor Qiu Yuefang would go, neither Qiu Yuefang nor Lin Jinghui had mentioned it. Li Hua couldn't help but curse them, "A bunch of heartless bastards."

Gu Jinfeng couldn't help but speak up, "Xiao Hui, come to our house for the New Year. I'll have Jiao Jiao come and call you first thing tomorrow morning."

Gu Jinfeng also thought that Qiu Yuefang's family was a bunch of scoundrels, but she would never say such a thing.

If someone overhears us, things could get messy.

Wang Xiaohui shook her head. "It's okay, Auntie. I've bought everything I need. I'll live with Qiuqiu."

Before Gu Jinfeng could speak, Li Hua said, "Then come home with me for the New Year!"

Wang Xiaohui did not shake her head in refusal to accept Li Hua's suggestion.

It's Chinese New Year, and everyone else is having a happy reunion with their families. How could she not be envious!

But the Gu family had already helped her a lot, and she didn't want to cause trouble for others.

But when my own mother asked...

"What will others say..." Wang Xiaohui hesitated, worried about causing trouble for her family!

Li Hua immediately retorted, "Let whoever wants to talk, talk. Just close the door and live your own life. Why are you bothering to care what other people say?"

Gu Jinfeng and Gu Jin also chimed in, "Yes, Xiaohui, your mother is right."

"Yes, since your mother has spoken, you should take Qiuqiu back to your mother's house for a few days."

Wang Xiaohui nodded and said, "Okay!"

Not much food was fried, so while they were talking, Gu Jin had already turned off the stove, and Gu Jinfeng had also taken the sugar cakes out of the oil.

After everything was fried, Gu Jinfeng said, "It's getting late. If you're going, let's pack up and head over!"

"Don't stay up too late, it's cold."

"We're going back first."

Gu Jinfeng was about to leave when she told Gu Jin.

Wang Xiaohui wanted to pack some fried dough sticks and fried sugar cakes for Gu Jinfeng and Gu Jin to take with them.

Neither of them wanted it. They wiped their hands and left the room, then quickly walked outside with their heads down.

When Wang Xiaohui chased after them outside, Gu Jin and her niece Gu Jinfeng had already gone their separate ways.

Wang Xiaohui couldn't split up to chase after the two people, so she could only go back inside.

She knew that even if she caught up with them, Gu Jinfeng and Gu Jin would never want her; they both pitied her.

Never mind, there's always another day.

After returning to her room, Wang Xiaohui began packing her things.

Wang Xiaohui planned to bring fried dough sticks, sugar cakes, and other New Year's items.

When Wang Xiaohui packed fried dough sticks and fried sugar cakes, Li Hua stopped her, saying, "Don't pack these. Keep them inside. When you come back after the New Year, you can eat them with Qiuqiu. Fried things can be stored."

Wang Xiaohui shook her head. "What if I leave it at home and the rats take it away? Then all that frying would have been for nothing."

She's been away from home for a few days; who knows, someone might take her door down!

She dared not overestimate the shamelessness of that family.

The fried food, the things she bought, and her and Qiuqiu's clothes filled several pockets.

When Lin Jinghui returned from outside, he saw his brother-in-law sitting at the door.

Wang Gang disliked his brother-in-law; whenever he saw him, he would give him a stern look.

Lin Jinghui only felt pain in his ribs.

When the Wang family came before, his brother-in-law, who was the odd one, kicked him the hardest.

But Lin Jinghui still walked over with a forced smile, saying, "Big brother's here."

He now wants to mend his relationship with Wang Xiaohui, and he increasingly feels that his mother is unreasonable.

He was angered by his mother when he left home.

Although Wang Gang didn't want to talk to him, he still gave a firm "hmm" out of consideration for Wang Xiaohui and Qiuqiu.

Lin Jinghui didn't know what to say next, but he still moved closer to the door.

Then he saw the plum blossoms inside the house. Upon seeing them, he awkwardly called out, "Mother!"

Li Hua stiffened her neck and grunted in response.

Then he saw the large and small bags Wang Xiaohui had packed, "Xiaohui, what's this..."

“We’re taking Xiaohui home for the New Year,” Li Hua said irritably.

She couldn't bring herself to be nice to Lin Jinghui.

Normally, it's one thing to let Wang Xiaohui and her daughter live alone, but with the New Year approaching, they haven't even said a word. It's infuriating!

Lin Jinghui "..."

"...Mother, isn't this inappropriate?"

Li Hua was furious and put her hands on her hips. "What's wrong with it?"

"Is it appropriate to let her and her daughter spend the Lunar New Year alone?"

Li Hua raised a finger and pointed at Lin Jinghui, wanting to have a good talk with him.

Wang Xiaohui stopped her, saying, "Mom, we've packed our things. Let's hurry up and leave before it gets dark by the time we get home."

After saying that, she said to Lin Jinghui, "I'm taking Qiuqiu home for the New Year. If you're free, could you watch the house for me and make sure no one takes anything from it?"

Lin Jinghui couldn't say anything else, he could only say, "Yeah, don't worry."

Wang Xiaohui looked around the house carefully, and although she was still worried, she took the child and left.

The grain was sealed up, the oil was hidden under the firewood, and the money was carried on his person.

They were betting on whether Lin Jinghui had any humanity left and whether he would actually help her take care of the house.

On New Year's Eve, the Gu family was busy preparing early in the morning.

In the morning, I would fry, sauté, and cook.

This year, many people still came to Lin Jingshen to write Spring Festival couplets.

But as I was writing, snowflakes started falling from the sky.

Fortunately, the Gu family has now built a new house with high ceilings and spacious rooms, so Lin Jingshen moved inside to continue writing.

Because of the snow, everyone finished writing and left without lingering, so they finished writing before noon.
