Chapter 178 Nancy Wants to Buy a Farm
Early the next morning, Windy asked Marcus and Neil to put on the red hoodies.
Marcus was reluctant.
Starting from today, Nancy and her family would visit their relatives and deliver New Year Greetings. Nancy and Adam would say "Happy New Year" sweetly to their elders and then receive lucky money.
They visited both the friends of their grandfather and parents.
Nancy's cheeks were frequently pinched by her elders. She thought her cheeks became even more chubby and she couldn't help mumbling to herself.
"Why do those elders like to pinch my cheeks?"
She stroked her plump face with pity.
One day, James and Windy took their sons and daughters to visit Yale.
Yale came to open the door. When he saw Marcus wearing a red hoodie and keeping a straight face, he was stunned for several seconds.
Then...
He burst into laughter.
Howls of laughter resounded through the villa of the Thomas family.
Marcus cast a stern and icy glance at Yale.
Yale was bent double with laughter, "I'm not laughing at you. I've never seen you dress like this. Admittedly, you look younger in the red hoodie. It seems that you suddenly become a college student from a middle-aged officer. I was so shocked just now that I even thought when did you have a son..."
As soon as Yale finished speaking, Marcus expressionlessly threw a punch at Yale's stomach. Yale squatted down because it really hurt.
Yale's parents witnessed Marcus hitting Yale, but they didn't take it seriously and became inured to it. This was because Marcus and Yale grew up together. Yale was often beaten for his sharp tongue by Marcus when they were in school.
Yale's parents seldom saw Marcus for these years. They felt nostalgic when they saw their son being beaten by Marcus.
"Welcome. Amazingly, Nancy and her elder brothers wear the same clothes. Who came up with this idea? It's good! Nancy is even cuter in the red hoodie!"
Windy smiled merrily. She and Yale's mother went arm in arm intimately.
"That's my idea. They look so lovely and youthful in the same clothes. Marcus is still unwilling to wear the red hoodie. Nancy, come over and greet your uncle and aunt."
Kate beckoned Nancy over.
"Happy New Year!"
Nancy greeted Yale's parents politely and sweetly. She had a pleasant voice and looked pretty and adorable.
Yale's mother liked her so much. She only had a son. So she thought it would be perfect if she had a daughter who was as well-behaved as Nancy.
Nancy was warmly welcomed. Then she and Adam got lucky money from Yale's parents.
During the past few days, Nancy visited so many relatives and friends that she felt her legs become thinner. Moreover, she was happier when she counted the lucky money every night.
Of course, some relatives also came to visit Nancy and her family. So Nancy would inevitably meet people whom she disliked.
Yvonne and her family shamelessly came to deliver New Year Greetings. After suffering a great loss, Yvonne's grandmother, who was tart and mean, seemed to be less ungrateful now. She talked to Nancy kindly and even gave Nancy lucky money for the first time.
Marcus still sensed her reluctance when she gave Nancy lucky money. But the trace of reluctance soon disappeared. She didn't show her disgust in her expressions as before.
Maybe it was because she was used to being arrogant. So her pretense of kindness cracked easily.
Nancy could also feel the malice from the old woman and still disliked her.
Nancy hid behind Marcus and then was picked up by Neil in his arms.
The old woman flattered Nancy, "Nancy, I haven't seen you for some time. You look more beautiful. I'm Yvonne's grandmother. Did you forget me? Come here, this lucky money is for you."
