The Best System in the World (3)

Brother system gave her New Year money!

And the points were not deducted!

She had points to spend!

It was not used to pay off her debt!!!

Aaaaaa, the system is the best in the world!! And also her best friend!!

Jiang Xiaoman sniffed and said, “Brother System, you are so kind. You will always be my good friend.”

“En… Happy New Year.”

This was the happiest New Year that she could remember. Of course, this was also the first New Year she celebrated ever since she could remember. She was too young previously, and her memories were vague, and she didn’t know what New Year meant.

Jiang Xiaoman was so happy that she felt like she was going to float.

She hummed an unknown tune and planned to find the children in the village to play. But as soon as she was about to go out, Jiang Xiumei said, “Everyone is going back to visit their relatives today, visiting their maternal families. Your little friends are not here, so don’t go.”

“What does visiting relatives mean?” Jiang Xiaoman asked curiously.

This kid had a different question to ask every day.

Jiang Xiumei replied, “All kinds of relatives come to visit on New Year’s Eve. Daughters who married off came back, and daughters-in-law went home. If you don’t believe me, look at Zhu Zi’s wife next door, she has also returned to her maternal family.”

Jiang Xiaoman immediately went to see and found that not only was Zhu Zi’s wife gone, but her baby was too.

They were not there.

Jiang Xiaoman quickly came back and obediently stayed home.

“But Grandma, don’t our family have any married off daughter? Why are there no relatives coming here?”

Jiang Xiumei’s hand stopped for a second, and her face looked a bit upset.

Who said there wasn’t one?

Jiang Yue, her daughter.

Unfortunately, the person was already gone.

Jiang Xiumei’s eyes were hot, and she said, “Then it depends on when your uncle could get a wife. If he couldn’t get a wife, then we won’t get a relative to visit.”

So while the other people’s homes were lively, theirs were quiet.

And there was also Jiang Xing, this kid; she did not know where he went off.

Jiang Xiaoman said ‘oh’ as if she understood but not really, and asked her while putting her cheeks on her hands. “Doesn’t Grandma have a maternal family? Why aren’t you going back to visit?”

“Me?” Jiang Xiumei sighed hard. “I’m already old, and the people I want to see are no longer there. Why go back?”

Jiang Xiumei’s parents were gone, but she still had brothers. According to the customs, she should go back and visit.

But Jiang Xiumei was unwilling because she had a bad relationship with her maternal brothers, so she didn’t even think about it.

Jiang Xiaoman didn’t know about the older generation’s grievances, but she was a smart and sensitive child. She realized that her grandma’s mood was not good, so she didn’t continue the conversation, immediately hugged Jiang Xiumei’s waist, and said in a spoiled voice while rubbing her head. “Then, I will accompany Grandma and not go anywhere.”

Her little padded jacket was sensible. Who wouldn’t love this cute little thing?

Jiang Xiumei stroked her head with a smile and didn’t stay depressed for long. She soon picked up her mood and did her daily tasks.

When evening came, those who visited their relatives gradually returned, and the village began to be lively again.

Jiang Xing was also back.

It was just that his face was hideous; his forehead was a little red and swollen, and he came back with injuries.

This was still New Years’; couldn’t he stop for a bit? This kid didn’t go out and cause trouble again, did he? Hadn’t he been quite good the past year? Why was he going wrong also?

Jiang Xiumei stared at him and tried to say something, but Jiang Xing covered the wound on his forehead and said very annoyedly before she could. “Mom, my uncle is here.”

That one sentence immediately made Jiang Xiumei’s face sink completely.

Jiang Xing’s uncle was Jiang Xiumei’s maternal brother.

He’s coming in this New Year to bring bad luck!
