"But no matter how much I persuaded her, the old lady refused to go to her daughter's place. She used her retirement money to rent a house for herself, saying that it was quiet and peaceful to live alone. In fact, this was only one of the reasons. The old lady once told me privately that she felt guilty towards her daughter."

"Because of the house?"

"Some of it, and some bits and pieces from the past. Every family has its own problems, alas..."

Lan Yun started the car while muttering.

Wen Xi stared out the window in a daze.

What kind of people are my master and my great-grandmaster? How could they have such a disrespectful son?

It's true that good bamboo produces bad shoots.

The master in the previous life died of a sudden illness. Could it be that this son was responsible?

Thinking of this, Wen Xi's brows frowned.

If that's the case...she doesn't mind teaching this bastard a lesson.

The Chinese New Year is approaching, and the festive atmosphere on the streets is getting stronger. Even the community radio has started to play cheerful songs such as "Happy New Year" and "Here Comes the God of Wealth" in a loop.

Ever since parting with Aunt Lan that day, Wen Xi went straight home and never even left the house.

Her parents had already filled the refrigerator and storage cabinets before going on a business trip, so she didn't even have to go shopping.

I review in the morning, serialize "Mountains and Seas" in the afternoon, and organize materials in the evening. Every day is packed.

However, she still took advantage of the break to draw ten door god pictures.

She got one each for Grandpa He, Master, Aunt Lan, Uncle Wu and Old Dai, and she plans to give the rest to her lovely fans.

Gifts for elders must be delivered in person.

My legs are almost broken after running all day.

After taking back a bunch of things that the elders had forced upon him, Wen Xi lay listlessly on the sofa.

After taking a breath, he took out his phone and posted on Weibo.

"Happy New Year, everyone! Cool and handsome, fierce and domineering, cute and adorable... so many door gods, do you like any of them? If you like them, act fast, or you'll miss out!"

After uploading the 5 pictures, Wen Xi still chose the lottery platform provided by Weibo, just like last year, which saves trouble.

Shortly after the Weibo post was published, dozens of replies poured in.

"Fortunately, we learned from last year's lesson and paid special attention to it!"

"Great! The boss is here to give us benefits again~~~ God, please bless me to win the prize this time, Amen~~~"

"I finally waited for you. Fortunately, I didn't give up. Oh, oh, oh..."

The fans were chattering and the reply section was extremely lively.

When Wen Xi came back from taking a shower, the number of messages had exceeded 100.

Some people were praising her, some were wishing her a happy new year, and some were asking her to write an article...

She picked out some replies while eating.

The cherry tomatoes grown in Aunt Lan’s yard are super delicious and sweet.

Wen Xi quickly replied to one message and was about to reply to the second one.

The bowl is empty...

Xiao Ba was lying on the side burping, rubbing his swollen belly with his little paws.

When did this guy sneak in? She didn't even know!

"You're getting more and more courageous!"

"Oh, oh, oh." Xiao Ba half-closed his eyes, looking like he was enjoying himself to the fullest.

Wen Xi picked it up and stroked it wildly.

"You dare to steal my sister's things? It seems you are tired of living, huh?"

"Hmm..."

"Don't be so pitiful in front of me. I'm still hungry. Tell me, should I braise you or stew you? Or, why don't you choose for yourself?"

As if he understood Wen Xi's words, Xiao Ba shook his head wildly, his long ears almost fell off, and his pair of round eyes widened.

Seeing its terrified look, Wen Xi felt amused.

He poked its round belly lightly with his finger and teased, "You don't want to choose? Fine, then stir-fry it."
