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, âBrother System, you are so kind. You will always be my good friend.â
âEn⦠Happy New Year.â
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 didnât 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, âEveryone is going back to visit their relatives today, visiting their maternal families. Your little friends are not here, so donât go.â
âWhat does visiting relatives mean?â Jiang Xiaoman asked curiously.
This kid had a different question to ask every day.
Jiang Xiumei replied, âAll kinds of relatives come to visit on New Yearâs Eve. Daughters who married off came back, and daughters-in-law went home. If you donât believe me, look at Zhu Ziâs wife next door, she has also returned to her maternal family.â
Jiang Xiaoman immediately went to see and found that not only was Zhu Ziâs wife gone, but her baby was too.
They were not there.
Jiang Xiaoman quickly came back and obediently stayed home.
âBut Grandma, donât our family have any married off daughter? Why are there no relatives coming here?â
Jiang Xiumeiâs hand stopped for a second, and her face looked a bit upset.
Who said there wasnât one?
Jiang Yue, her daughter.
Unfortunately, the person was already gone.
Jiang Xiumeiâs eyes were hot, and she said, âThen it depends on when your uncle could get a wife. If he couldnât get a wife, then we wonât get a relative to visit.â
So while the other peopleâs 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 âohâ as if she understood but not really, and asked her while putting her cheeks on her hands. âDoesnât Grandma have a maternal family? Why arenât you going back to visit?â
âMe?â Jiang Xiumei sighed hard. âIâm already old, and the people I want to see are no longer there. Why go back?â
Jiang Xiumeiâs 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 didnât even think about it.
Jiang Xiaoman didnât know about the older generationâs grievances, but she was a smart and sensitive child. She realized that her grandmaâs mood was not good, so she didnât continue the conversation, immediately hugged Jiang Xiumeiâs waist, and said in a spoiled voice while rubbing her head. âThen, I will accompany Grandma and not go anywhere.â
Her little padded jacket was sensible. Who wouldnât love this cute little thing?
Jiang Xiumei stroked her head with a smile and didnât 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 Yearsâ; couldnât he stop for a bit? This kid didnât go out and cause trouble again, did he? Hadnât 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. âMom, my uncle is here.â
That one sentence immediately made Jiang Xiumeiâs face sink completely.
Jiang Xingâs uncle was Jiang Xiumeiâs maternal brother.
Heâs coming in this New Year to bring bad luck!
