Chapter: 2183

Sighing, she added: "Tonight is New Year's Eve, what shall we say? We can't just go hungry, so let's leave this leftover food for tonight and eat it then."

Xiao Vivi crying said: "Nanny, those leftovers aren't enough for us four to have half a meal's worth, what's the point of leaving them?"

Mrs. Shao spoke seriously: "You don't understand! We must eat on New Year's Eve, or else we'll be poor as dogs for the rest of the year and won't be able to turn our fortunes around!"

Xiao Haile immediately burst into tears upon hearing this: "Nanny, didn't you say you'd give me some potsticker filling to eat tonight? Why are you making me eat these leftovers again?"

Mrs. Shao was at a loss for words: "Haile, Nanny can't do anything about it... We have no money now, what can we buy with? Face and meat?"

Xiao Haile cried even more pitifully: "Nanny, tonight is New Year's Eve, I really don't want to eat yesterday's leftovers again. Those leftovers are a mix of the flavors of brushing off the pot and the smell of rusty knives... It's just too hard to eat."

On the side, Xiao Chang Jian sniffled and said: "Alright Haile, let's just eat what we have... At least it's better than going hungry on New Year's Eve"

He then gnashed his teeth and said: "This is all because of your mom, that good-for-nothing! She stole Nanny's hard-earned money, otherwise we could at least have some hot potsticker to eat"

Xiao Vivi also cried, sobbing and saying: "Mom was too extreme... When she stole Nanny's money, didn't she think about our family?"

Mrs. Shao's anger boiled over: "She doesn't care! If she really had us in her heart, she wouldn't have sold her body in a black coal mine initially! This kind of woman who doesn't keep her dignity is not worth heaven's attention!"

After that, Mrs. Shao slumped down into her chair, hitting her thighs and crying: "Oh Lord, please take a look at our family... What kind of life are we living now?"

After that, Mrs. Shao covered her face and cried in pain.

The others didn't stop sobbing either, with all four family members crying together

Meanwhile, next door's Ye Chen family started preparing their New Year's Eve dinner from noon onwards.

Various ingredients filled the entire kitchen counter.

Ye Chen was the best cook at home, so he naturally took charge of cooking this year's New Year's Eve dinner.

Ma Ran had bad legs and sat on the ground picking vegetables; Xiao Chuanran helped Ye Chen wash and chop the vegetables, as well as prepare other ingredients. Meanwhile, Xiao Changkun used a manual chopper to grind the stuffing for dumplings.

All four family members were working together in the kitchen, creating a harmonious and warm atmosphere.

As the sky gradually darkened, dish after dish was brought to the dining table.

Inside the a04 villa, Zhang Gui Fen and her two companions had already started bustling around in the kitchen.

The three women lived a more down-to-earth life; apart from preparing the dough and filling for dumplings, they also bought a chicken, a fish, and two pounds of pork ribs to make several dishes that complemented each other's flavors.

Zhang Gui Fen felt like she had the opportunity to live in such a good villa with three people's blessings, so she even specially bought an incense burner, some incense, and a very affordable Bodhisattva painting.

Before eating, Zhang Gui Fen took Dong Yu Ling and Li Yue Qin kneeling in front of the Bodhisattva painting.

Zhang Gui Fen held three joss sticks in her hands with utmost sincerity, saying, "Rescuer Bodhisattva, thank you for protecting us three miserable sisters. Let us live in this good big villa and have a life we never dared to dream about before. I promise that after this, the three of us will definitely work hard to earn money and not be lazy, so please bless our lives to become even better!"

Behind her were Dong Yu Ling and Li Yue Qin. JrNovels.com
