Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Even though the villagers were filled with regret, desiring to plead with Gu Zi to change her mind and help them, they dared not cause any more commotion. After all, who could they blame now?

The village chief had practically delivered the means to make money to their doorsteps, yet they insisted on blocking their own path with their shovels. The village chief was right, they were indeed a bunch of fools, deserving of their endless poverty!

The crowd gradually dispersed, leaving the front of the Lin family’s house quiet once more. Su Shen’s mood was not greatly affected. After all, this was nothing compared to the time when he wanted to start a pig farm, and almost everyone from three villages came out, fearing being implicated and wanting to drive him out of the village. He was not affected at all back then, let alone now.

To some extent, Su Shen was relieved that Gu Zi would not take over the village’s training class. He had always supported Gu Zi in doing her own thing. If she was too busy with her own affairs, she could ask someone to help look after the children. However, he didn’t want Gu Zi to be like him, working hard without any reward. Of course, he didn’t regret what he had done. Running a pig farm was his own business, and he was willing to bear all the consequences.

But now that his business was thriving, Gu Zi, as his wife, should have some choice. Since she could choose, he hoped that she would do what was most beneficial to her, whether it was studying or working. He wished her happiness and satisfaction, which might also be one of the main reasons why he worked hard to earn money.

Su Shen opened the door of the brick house, strode towards the sedan, opened the trunk with one hand, and took out the gift boxes that he hadn’t finished carrying earlier. Lin Cheng quickly followed to help, and the two men carried the boxes into the house.

Su Bing and Su Li had also heard the villagers’ words in the house. They felt both angry and relieved. It was a close call. Their mother almost agreed to lead the villagers. Wouldn’t that mean less time spent with them?

Fortunately, those people didn’t know what was good for them. Their mother would definitely not take over the training class now!

In the end, smiles appeared on the faces of the two brothers. They ran to Su Shen and Lin Cheng, eager to show off, because their mother was nearby and could see their performance. Su Li loudly volunteered, “Dad, Uncle, my brother and I are also men of the house. We want to help carry things too. Give us some.”

As Su Li spoke, he glanced at his mother’s reaction out of the corner of his eye. Seeing her smiling brightly, unaffected by the earlier commotion, he felt relieved. His uncle handed him two lighter gift boxes, and he happily carried them into the house.

Su Bing also received two gift boxes from his father. He was also very happy to be able to show off in front of his mother. He carried the gift boxes with his back straight and entered the house with a sense of pride. When he came out, his cheeks were red and adorable.

Before Gu Zi had a chance to speak with her sons, she turned and entered the kitchen. Her mother and sister-in-law, seeing her enter, quickly pushed her out. Li Hua said, “Didn’t we agree that the kitchen is my domain? You should rest. Dealing with those people earlier must have been tiring.”

An Yun also said, “Yes, go and eat something. Your sister-in-law and I are in the kitchen. Our cooking skills are improving. You should try our cooking today. Also, we support your decision not to take over the village’s training class. Don’t worry too much.”

With no other choice, Gu Zi was quickly pushed out of the kitchen. At that moment, Su Li came running out of the house with two large red couplets, saying to Gu Zi, “Mom, let’s paste the couplets together. Brother has gone to help Grandpa. Let’s show Grandpa our handwriting.”

The couplets were written by Gu Zi and her sons the night before as a New Year’s gift for their relatives. Handwritten couplets not only showed special intentions but also added to the festive atmosphere at home. Gu Zi felt that she had nothing to do at the moment, so pasting couplets with Su Li was just right. She followed him out.

After the mother and son pasted the couplets, the festive atmosphere was immediately enhanced. Su Bing carefully pushed Grandpa out. Grandpa’s leg had been taken out of the cast, but he was still recuperating. He couldn’t walk too far and it was best if someone supported him, so he didn’t have to put too much pressure on his leg and risk damaging the healing bone.

When Lin Lao’er saw his daughter, he hadn’t yet shifted his mood. The guilt on his face hadn’t completely disappeared. Clearly, he had heard the commotion outside earlier. He couldn’t help but say to his daughter, “Xiao Zi, I’m sorry for the trouble!”
