“You’re crazy, going over there now, you’re asking to get yourself killed!”

“If he dares to touch a hair on my head, I dare to lie down and watch the cars go by!”

“I’m going!”

“Let’s go together!”

“Hahahaha!”

“It’s exhilarating, this year’s fireworks are really fucking exhilarating!”

“Haha, my wife just asked around, Zhangruji Village blew 500,000 on that lot, and they’re cursing out the village head right now!”

The villagers were more excited than the next, the young people were still okay, but especially the older ones, those in their sixties and seventies, they acted as if they’d actually won a battle.

By the time the fireworks had finished, it was already past 10 o’clock.

After hanging around the village committee square for a while, around 11 o’clock, Lin Mo, pushing the wheelchair, was ready to take his family home to rest.

After all, they were patients and weren’t suited for long periods of activity, not to mention it was late and the temperature outside was very low, quite cold.

That’s when a group of people in their thirties, about Lin Mo’s age, came over.

One of them said with a smile, “Lin, come play a few rounds tonight? It’s rare to see you back, right?”

The others joined in the persuasion.

Another looked at Li Jinwen and said, “Sister-in-law, you can’t have my brother cooped up at home all the time, right? A man has got to have some time out with the guys, don’t you think?”

Li Jinwen smiled and said, “I’m not controlling him, if he wants to go play, I have no objections.”

And she truly had none.

She saw all the hard work her husband put in and hoped he could relax a bit and not live so tirelessly.

Li Jinshan chimed in too, “Young people need to socialize. You should go play, Lin Mo, unwind a bit, just don’t play for too much. If you’re scared to go alone, I’ll go with you!”

Zhao Huixian gave him a stern look, and Li Jinshan swiftly shut his mouth.

Lin Mo knew these people were trying to get him to be the dealer in a card game, and it wasn’t necessarily a trap but rather just to get closer to him.

Anybody who could toss out a million for village fireworks would’ve been worshipped by the old Lin Mo.

But he wasn’t much for gambling, himself.

Losing pained him for his money, winning pained him for others’.

Besides, in the last couple of days, Lin Mo had received two identical pieces of intelligence that villagers had lost a year’s savings and were ready to board the train to go find work.

Gambling was too damaging to relationships, and Lin Mo never liked it.

After a lot of talking and handing out a few packs of cigarettes, Lin Mo sent off those peers from the village and headed home with his family.

Better to keep warm in bed with his wife than to stay out playing cards.

It might not make sense to others.

But Lin Mo knew, the peace he enjoyed had not come easily!

After an exhausting day and waking up early, while everyone still hadn’t lost their excitement, they were also starting to feel tired.

After chatting idly for a bit, they all retreated to their own rooms.

Especially since Dad, Mom, Lin Xiaoxiao, and Zhang Li were still recovering and couldn’t stay up too late.

After a quick shower, when Lin Mo lay down in bed, it was almost midnight.

Once midnight passed, it would be truly a new year.

Lin Mo watched the sporadic fireworks outside the window, quietly waiting for the system notification to sound.

Because, once the system sounded, it meant midnight had arrived, a new day, a new year had begun.

“Just two more minutes!”

Lin Xiaoxiao hadn’t gone to sleep yet either, wanting to stay up with Mom and Dad to ring in the New Year.

Every year, that’s how they had celebrated it.

“One more minute!”

The family of three, sitting together, watching the countdown displayed on the phone.

“23:59:57”

“23:59:58”

“23:59:59”

“Happy New Year!”

The family shouted in unison!

Lin Xiaoxiao, barefoot, started jumping up high on the bed.

On any normal day, if Lin Xiaoxiao dared to jump on the bed, Li Jinwen would surely have scolded her.

But at this special moment, Li Jinwen even stepped aside, afraid that Lin Xiaoxiao might accidentally step on her stomach.

Now, Li Jinwen’s belly was beginning to show.

“Husband, happy New Year.”

“Yeah, happy New Year, wife!” Lin Mo hugged Li Jinwen, his hand gently caressing her belly. He smiled and said, “By this time next year, our family will have grown to four.”

Li Jinwen blushed slightly, watching her daughter bubbling with joy on the bed, “Yes, Xiaoxiao won’t be so lonely anymore.”

Lin Mo kissed Li Jinwen’s hair.

He then instinctively opened the Intelligence System to take a look.

But what he saw made Lin Mo jump.

His complexion turned ashen in an instant!

Fear flashed in his eyes!

Nestled in Lin Mo’s arms, Li Jinwen immediately felt her husband’s unusual behavior. She turned her head and, seeing his dreadful expression and panicked eyes, she sat up straight, looking worried, and asked, “What… what’s wrong? Husband?”

Staring at the content on the system panel, Lin Mo tried his best to hold back, but still couldn’t help trembling all over.

As for his wife’s question, he didn’t hear it at all!

How could it be!!

How could this happen!!!
