And so the three parties parted on bad terms.

Upon returning home, Huang Youfu was immediately apprehended by the mother and daughter and obediently accepted their questioning.

Upon learning the whole story, Huang's mother was filled with rage at her eldest and third sons, who had tried to drag their family down.

Seeing his wife and precious daughter like this, Huang Youfu immediately stood up and declared, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid. Why would I give up a good life to add to your burden?"

"Adopting these two idiots' nephews and then having to take care of them, buy them houses, cars, and help them get married—isn't that just a complete waste of their lives!"

At this point, Huang Youfu's intelligence has once again taken over the top spot.

After the young couple gets married, they will often visit their relatives in the next village during the Spring Festival. They can even spend the Spring Festival at their house a few more times.

After the New Year, my daughter will go back to her parents' home, and then we'll go back to our own home. If we do this, our own home will also have a lively and festive New Year!

Hehe, I'm so smart!

Zhang Hu slept very soundly, completely unaware that he had missed a major event.

The next morning, as soon as I got up, I saw Xiao Xi, dressed in his pajamas, squatting by the cabinet looking for a toothbrush and towel for him to wash up.

Upon seeing that Zhang Hu had woken up, they pounced on him.

I gave him a sweet good morning kiss.

After he went downstairs, he enjoyed 300% more hospitality from his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

They're practically living a life of ease, with food served to them and clothes handed to them by others.

He was so engrossed in this blissful life that he almost forgot it was the day his parents were coming home!

Fortunately, Huang Qianqian was eager to impress her future mother-in-law and kept a close eye on her mother-in-law's movements.

After lunch, they dragged Zhang Hu away.

The two arrived just in time; Zhang Long's Alphard had barely come to a stop when they arrived.

Zhang Long clearly had a very strong hand, and even his uncles and elders were showing great enthusiasm.

Zhang Long was well aware of their thoughts, but he wasn't some turtle at a wishing well that he would grant everyone's wishes.

On the surface, they were just polite and courteous, and that was it.

Having experienced the joys and sorrows of his previous life, he only extends a helping hand to those brothers he deems worthy.

Anyway, he wasn't very familiar with his other cousins. They only exchanged nods and glances during the Lunar New Year.

They're not even as familiar as Xiao Zhou, whom they've only known for a short time, and they don't even know who's behind them!

On the other side, Hu Xinxin, who was in the passenger seat, couldn't help but shrink her neck after getting out of the car.

The temperature in this mountainous area may seem only three to four degrees lower than in the city, but the winds from the south can be quite powerful.

This gave this girl from the north a profound lesson.

Without further ado, Zhang Long distributed cigarettes to everyone and quickly took his girlfriend upstairs to upgrade her equipment.

Hu Xinxin's appearance caused another round of exclamations. Putting aside her appearance, her temperament alone was very problematic.

A person's temperament is something that can't be clearly defined, but it's something that can definitely be felt by others.

Jun was the only one here who knew Hu Xinxin's identity, so while everyone else was discussing it, Jun sat there calmly by the fire like a Buddha.

"Oh my, this is your room."

This was also Hu Xinxin's first time visiting Zhang Long's hometown, so it was still quite new to her.

"Tsk tsk tsk," she remarked as she looked around the room.

Zhang Long, holding the little cutie, whispered in her ear, "This room is quite ordinary, but my dad did all of this himself, including this cabinet and the bed."

Hu Xinxin's eyes were filled with disbelief.

“Really? Fake!”

"Uncle has this skill too?"

Zhang Long put his arm around his girlfriend, acting as her human mini stove.

"Hehe, there's a lot you don't know. Apart from his bad luck with money, my dad has a wide range of interests, including calligraphy, painting, and sculpting, none of which he's not good at."

"Why don't you change your clothes first? No one here can refuse a full set of magic resistance gear."

As she spoke, she took out two sets of extra-thick pajamas that she had prepared earlier from the box.

"Come, come, let me show you how to do as the locals do!"

"Oh, and put this on too!"

As he spoke, Zhang Long handed over a fluffy little bunny earmuff, which looked absolutely adorable!

When they came downstairs, Mom had already put on an apron and was directing her daughter-in-law to start working.

Originally, Mom didn't intend for her two daughters-in-law to do the work, but she couldn't resist the younger daughter-in-law's desire to show off in front of her mother-in-law.

And so this scene unfolded. Hu Xinxin was intrigued when she saw it and wanted to go and help, but her mother forcibly chased her away.

Only Zhang Hu and Huang Qianqian were left. Originally, Zhang Long couldn't have escaped either, but he benefited from his girlfriend's influence.

Her mother was worried that since she was new to her hometown and unfamiliar with the place, she asked Zhang Long to go out and introduce her to the local people.

As soon as Zhang Long and Hu Xinxin appeared, they immediately attracted the attention of many brothers and uncles present, who waved to them and told them to come over and warm themselves by the fire.

He brought his girlfriend directly to squeeze into a spot next to Jun Ge, clearly indicating that Jun Ge and his wife, who had met once before, were quite friendly towards Hu Xinxin.

He expertly took out a cigarette and offered it to others, then made conversation by saying, "Brother Jun, I heard you almost spent the New Year on the highway?"

Upon seeing Zhang Long strike up a conversation, Jun Ge began his performance.
