Su Shen regarded her with a puzzled gaze. What nonsense was this petite woman spouting now? Yet, in the next moment, she stood up, wrapped her arms around his waist, and tiptoed to kiss him. He didn’t dodge, instead, a slight smile tugged at the corners of his mouth as he cooperatively engaged in an intimate exchange of tongues with her.

Gu Zi felt the man’s hand on her waist tighten, his grip growing stronger, causing her breath to hitch. A tingling sensation spread from her waist, coursing through her entire body, causing her to tremble involuntarily.

Su Shen was pleased with her reaction. His tongue continued its assertive invasion of her mouth, one hand cupping her breast. To him, she was like a ripe peach, full and round. He always wanted to undress her, to lower his head and suckle there, convinced he could draw out the sweet nectar of a peach.

Just as their intimate moment was about to escalate, a commotion erupted outside. Gu Zi clutched her collar, blocking the man’s wandering hand. “Stop, we can continue later. Let’s go see what’s happening outside.”

Su Shen held her waist, steadying her. Once she had adjusted her clothes, they exited the room together. Outside, they found a crowd of people, some of whom had caused trouble the day before. Today, they carried eggs and cured meat, some even held sugar and biscuits. It was as if they were visiting relatives, their faces tinged with a hint of apology.

Su Shen instinctively shielded Gu Zi, his voice deep as he said, “Didn’t we clear things up? It’s the New Year, let’s not cause trouble. Otherwise, I won’t be so polite.”

Seeing that Su Shen seemed to have misunderstood, someone quickly explained, “Mr. Su, we’re not here to cause trouble. We’re sorry about yesterday. My child came home last night and said he received a fifty-cent red envelope here. I think it was from your wife. I felt guilty, so I brought a pound of sugar today as an apology and a return gift. Please forgive us.”

After one person spoke, others chimed in, addressing Gu Zi, “Yes, we’re here to apologize and return the favor. We were foolish and misunderstood you yesterday. Despite that, you were generous and gave our children red envelopes. We’re truly sorry. Please accept our gifts!”

Hearing that they weren’t there to cause trouble, Su Shen was willing to let Gu Zi face them. Gu Zi said, “Let’s not dwell on the past. It’s the New Year, and it’s a good thing that you’re willing to visit. As for the red envelopes, you don’t need to worry about it. Adults are adults, children are children. I was happy yesterday and gave the children red envelopes according to tradition, just for the joy of it. There’s no need for return gifts.”

Gu Zi’s words were met with praise. The villagers didn’t dare to mock her anymore. They were eager to please her, fearing that if she was unhappy, Su Shen might move his pig farm away. They had heard about a nearby county where a prosperous pig farm had collapsed, causing many people to lose their jobs. Some even committed suicide. It was a terrible situation.

“No, no, please accept our gifts. They might not be worth much to you, but they represent our sincerity. Please accept them!”

Although Gu Zi said she wouldn’t accept the gifts, the villagers still insisted on giving them to her. Those who couldn’t reach her gave their gifts to Mother Lin, who had come out from behind. Mother Lin had no choice but to accept them, but she was happy. Her daughter had found a good man. With Su Shen supporting her, Gu Zi would never be wronged. That was a good thing!

Following the events of the first day of the New Year, for several days afterward, people continued to visit the Lin family, bringing gifts. The house was bustling, filled with a festive atmosphere. Gu Zi didn’t mind the commotion. After all, a busy house was a prosperous one, and prosperity was always a good thing.

On the fifth day of the New Year, Lin Lao’er’s brothers from his hometown visited. They lived in the town and didn’t have much contact with Lin Lao’er’s family.

Lin Laoda had distanced himself from Lin Lao’er’s family because they were poor. He and his wife feared that their impoverished relatives would drag them down. They thought it was better to have no contact at all.

But things were different now. Lin Lao’er was now the father-in-law of the wealthy Su Shen. His sister-in-law, Mother Lin, had even opened a meat shop in town. He needed to reconnect with them. After all, he and Lin Lao’er were brothers. They couldn’t possibly avoid each other forever.
