From childhood to adulthood, he had never been treated like this by his grandfather.

"Tongwen, do you want to drink today? Although drinking is not allowed in the army, you can still indulge yourself at home."

As Mr. Shen spoke, he filled Shen Tongwen's cup.

Shen Tongwen looked at the old man in surprise.

I was very surprised that the old man could pour the wine himself.

This gave Shen Tongwen an unprecedented feeling.

At this moment, the person has already floated.

Mr. Shen returned to his seat, raised the wine glass in his hand, and said, "All the dishes on this table today were made by Xu Mo. Let's all raise our glasses and clink them with Xu Mo."

The wine glasses and drink cups collided in the air, making a "clang clang clang" sound.

Everyone laughed heartily and said in unison, "Happy New Year!

"Hahaha……"

During a meal, cups clinked in the house, and outside, thousands of houses were lit.

No matter how cold the weather is, it cannot cool the warm hearts of the people.

In contrast to the lively atmosphere is the Chen family next door.

Grandpa Chen sat alone at the table eating dumplings. There was no New Year atmosphere at home at all.

Mr. Chen listened to the aroma of food and the lively atmosphere coming from next door, and felt that the dumplings in his bowl no longer smelled good.

He stood up, threw away the few dumplings he had eaten, and went back to the house to lie down.

Another important activity on New Year’s Eve is staying up all night.

In the past, it was necessary to set off firecrackers at midnight, but now large-scale celebrations are not allowed, so firecrackers have been cancelled.

But the tradition of staying up all night has not been forgotten.

Moreover, many people probably couldn't sleep that night.

After all, the family atmosphere is so lively, how can I bear to go to sleep?

After the Shen family finished their meal, Mr. Shen and Xu Mo were responsible for cleaning up the dishes.

Shen Tongwen went to see Xia Shumo off.

Xia Shumo hasn't married Shen Tongwen yet, so it's not appropriate for her to stay in the man's house for too long.

Shen Tongwen had been drinking and couldn't drive, so he walked Xia Shumo back home.

Fortunately, the two stores are not far from each other and only take fifteen minutes to walk there.

The two walked side by side under the silvery moonlight.

Shen Tongwen took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Xia Shumo.

"As agreed, this is your New Year's money. I'm giving it to you in advance."

Xia Shumo took it generously, opened it and looked inside.

"So much, it must have emptied the family property!"

Shen Tongwen's family background is profound, but he himself does not have much money.

Xia Shumo was clear about this.

Shen Tongwen put his hands in his trouser pockets and said proudly, "Anyway, I can afford to support you. I will work hard to make money in the future."

Xia Shumo laughed and said, "Why don't I just support you? My wealth is enough to support you for several lifetimes."

When Xia Shumo's parents passed away, they left her a large inheritance. It can be said that she is now a small wealthy woman.

Shen Tongwen frowned deeply.

"Do you think I'm a freeloader?"

"Well... if I raise you, you can fight less for a few decades, isn't that good?"

Shen Tongwen: “…”

The man breathed heavily, pinched the back of Xia Shumo's neck, and said viciously, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll execute you on the spot."

Xia Shumo was not afraid of him and said, "I have seen your butt before, and you have lost your virginity a long time ago."

Shen Tongwen was so angry that he wanted to laugh, and retorted, "Then I have seen all of you, so don't you already belong to me?"

Xia Shumo choked and went to hit Shen Tongwen in anger, "Shen Tongwen, you stinky hooligan."

Shen Tongwen ran away, and Xia Shumo chased after him.

When they arrived at the gate of the community, Shen Tongwen finally stopped.

Xia Shumo finally caught up with him and pinched his face when she got the chance.

"It hurts, it hurts, stop it."

"Don't you dare to talk nonsense?"

"Of course...I dare!"

"you……"

"Shumo, Shumo, you are finally back."

A voice sounded behind them, and the two people who were still fighting stopped and looked back.

She is Xia Shumo’s second aunt.

Xia Shumo frowned, "What are you doing here?"

Mother Xia walked up to Xia Shumo and pleaded, "Shumo, I apologize to you. It was Second Aunt who was wrong. Please stop being angry with us and let us come back!"

She looked at Shen Tongwen again and said humbly, "Please give us our jobs back! We can't survive without jobs."

In just a few days, Xia's mother seemed like a different person.

His cheeks were sunken and his body was dirty.

Xia Shumo did not feel guilty or sympathetic towards her pitiful appearance.

Because she knew that if she let them come back, it would be like inviting a wolf into the house.

How could she make the same mistake again?

Xia Shumo said coldly, "I have severed ties with you, and I don't owe you anything. You should know how much money you have spent on me, and I will not ask you for that money. Just consider it as a token of your kindness in raising me over the years.

But if you come to bother me again in the future, I will report to the police and tell them that my second uncle was involved in bribery and fraud while in office.

By then, you may not even have the comfortable life you have now!"

After Xia Shumo finished speaking, she ignored Xia's mother and pulled Shen Tongwen into the community.

Xia Muqi's heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys are all in pain.

Xia Shumo, you ungrateful bastard, I wish you a miserable death.

Mother Xia didn't dare to bother her anymore and left angrily.

Shen Tongwen sent Xia Shumo downstairs and said worriedly, "Why don't you stay at the guesthouse for a few days? I'm afraid they will come to trouble you again."

"It's okay. I have the leverage over them. They won't dare to come again. Besides, I'm not a weak woman. If they push me into a corner, I will really kill people with a scalpel."

Shen Tongwen couldn't beat her and had to compromise.

After sending the person back upstairs safely, Shen Tongwen did not go home directly.

Instead, he followed Xia's mother, wanting to see what they were planning.

Mother Xia dragged her hungry body back to the old dilapidated house.

As soon as she got back, Xia Wenwen and Xia's father looked at her expectantly.

Xia Wenwen asked anxiously, "Mom, have you seen Xia Shumo? Did she agree that we can go back?"

She fantasized, "I must eat a big pork elbow first when I get home. I'm really hungry! If I don't eat now, I'll starve to death."

Xia's mother said with a guilty conscience, "She didn't agree to let us go back, and she said if we went to look for her again, she would report us to the police station."

Xia Wenwen was immediately stunned.

The big elbow that was still in my imagination also disappeared.

Xia Wenwen collapsed and screamed, "Ah... Why, why didn't she let us go back? We were so nice to her before, how could she be so cruel!"

Xia Wenwen turned her attention to her mother again, pointing at her nose and cursing, "It's all because of you. You must have abused Xia Shumo on weekdays, so she is so cruel to us. It's all because of you. You compensate me for the pork elbow, and I want to eat the pork elbow."

Father Xia became even more furious, and as if he agreed with what his daughter said, he went up and slapped Mother Xia.

“Pah.”

The sound is clear and loud.

Father Xia was not satisfied after the beating, so he slapped Xia Wenwen in the face again.
