Extra Eight

Shen Manman had gone to visit this time, and they ate the New Year's Eve dinner at Big Uncle Zhuang's place.

The dinner on the first evening of the new year was at the home of her stepfather's brother in Ten-miles Village.

On the second day, Zhuang Yan's half-sister came to visit her maternal home.

Since they were her elder brother and sister-in-law, they had to host her properly.

Zhuang Yan's half-sister, named Xia Yu, was twenty-five this year, and she really had good fortune.

Despite her father's remarriage in her childhood, bringing her a stepmother and a brother,

her stepmother treated her well, and although her brother was a bit unreliable, he never bullied her.

After the elders in the family passed away one after another, it was Zhuang Yan who looked after her.

Even though Zhuang Yan was not fond of work, he made quite a good amount of money, so their family was never short of food.
