Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 795: Trouble Befalls the Third Lady!

The group photo was spreading like wildfire on Weibo.

Gu Shengrong, holding his phone and fuming with anger, stormed into Zhao Lang’s room and slapped the phone onto the table, pointing at it and saying, "Look at this, look, the whole world has had dinner with Miss Jiang, everyone but you."

Zhao Lang: "....."

He thought back seriously, "Actually, we have had quite a few meals together."

Especially during the time in Chixia Village, they practically ate together at every meal.

The old man snorted coldly with his hands behind his back, "Then why haven’t you brought her to our house? It’s been a year, and I haven’t even seen her face!"

"There’s no rush, Grandpa." Zhao Lang closed his eyes, "The New Year is almost here, and there will surely be a reason to invite her over."

On New Year’s Eve, the Jiang Family got up early and were busy preparing.

Unlike the bleak New Years of the past, this year the Jiang home was exceptionally lively.

All the children were there, and almost none of the grandchildren were missing.

As dawn broke, Jiang Yan, together with Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shixu, pasted the couplets on the door.

This year’s couplets were personally written by Jiang Li, with lively strokes that looked better than those sold in the market,

And the paper-cut window decorations were crafted by Lin Manru together with Shen Lan.

Lin Manru had very skillful hands, especially after opening her studio and taking on many haute couture orders, her handiwork had become even more impressive, able to cut out almost any complex pattern.

Jiang Mingyu and Jiang Mingchuan were also busy, leading the servants to renovate the home from top to bottom.

Looking at this harmonious scene, Jiang Zhao Yuan, sitting in the living room, revealed a knowing smile for the first time.

Indeed, there’s more festive spirit when many are gathered.

After all these years, he had finally experienced the joy of being surrounded by children and grandchildren.

However...

"It would have been nice if Bu Fan and Bu Chen could have returned too. I haven’t seen them in a year, and I do miss them."

Hearing this, Lin Manru exchanged a glance with Shen Lan before saying, "Dad, you know it’s not like those two kids are in great health, and with the heavy snowfall in the Capital recently, the exit roads from Lanwan Village have all been blocked by snow. It’s normal for them to not be able to make it back. If you really miss them that much, we can have Ming Chuan bring them back after the snow melts."

"If Ming Chuan was willing to pick them up, they would have come back already!" snapped the old man gruffly.

Lin Manru didn’t respond.

Ever since they got married, Lao San and his wife had never gotten along. Even though she was the eldest sister-in-law, she couldn’t exactly meddle in their affairs.

Every time the third sister-in-law returned, it would lead to an argument with Lao San.

Those two little demons could also turn the house upside down.

It was quite peaceful like this.

After lunch, Lin Manru hurriedly started organizing the New Year’s Eve dinner.

In the past, their New Year’s dinners were simple affairs, with only her own family accompanying the old man, but this year was different, with almost everyone back, a new year required a more elaborate feast.

"Seafood platter, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, dragon fish, shark fins, Wagyu beef... The ingredients are almost ready, that should be it."

A succession of delicious dishes was being brought in, lighting up Jiang Mingchuan’s anticipation.

"The elder sister-in-law is really something, preparing so much for this year, can we even finish it?"

"If we can’t finish it, then we can’t finish it, it’s about having leftovers for prosperity. Lao San has worked hard at the company this year, of course, he deserves a good feast."

Jiang Mingchuan laughed, "How could I possibly not have good wine for a reward?"

Saying so, he turned to the old man, "Dad, can I go pick something special from your wine cellar this year? The second brother is back, we should celebrate properly, right?"

Jiang Zhao Yuan snorted coldly, "Your second brother is allergic to alcohol, are you celebrating by yourself?"

Jiang Mingchuan: "....."

Jiang Mingyu muttered gloomily, "Ming Chuan... you don’t know, do you? Right after dinner, Jiang Yan took Shi Xu and the others down to pick out wine..."

"What?!"

...

In the wine cellar underground, Jiang Yan looked at the vast array of wine bottles in front of him, his grin almost reaching the back of his head.

"This one, this one, and this bottle too, get them all for me."

Finally, the old man let him enter the wine cellar, and he was going to splurge to his heart’s content.

Jiang Yan dumped all the bottles he’d taken out into the arms of the two kids, watching as he held the precious aged wine, Jiang Shixu lowered his gaze, "Big brother, should this be enough? These are too many."

Jiang Yan said, "Enough for what? These are barely enough for me alone."

Jiang Cheng glanced at another bottle Jiang Yan was trying to reach and widened his eyes, "Jiang Yan, are you sure you want to touch the top shelf? That’s for Grandpa’s collection."

"Wine is meant for drinking, isn’t it? If we don’t drink it during New Year’s, then when? Do you want to leave it for outsiders? Shoo, shoo, stand back, don’t bother me."

Saying so, he stepped onto a footstool.

But the top shelf was really too high, and in his eagerness, the stool he brought over was not tall enough, so he had to tip-toe to reach it.

Before he could grab it, he lost his balance and fell backward.

He landed right on top of the two kids standing behind him.

In an instant, the wine bottles they were holding shattered on the ground, and the banging sound echoed continuously in the wine cellar.

Jiang Shixu was frightened, staring at his wine-stained body, tears fell in large drops.

Jiang Cheng’s face also paled, glaring at Jiang Yan and just about to say something when he heard voices from outside the wine cellar.

The alert Jiang Cheng immediately stood up and shouted, "Brother, what happened? How could you be so careless? It’s bad enough that you broke the wine, but you also made Shi Xu cry!"

Jiang Yan: ????

"I....."

Didn’t you see I also fell?!

The tardy Jiang Zhao Yuan arrived at this extremely "bloody" scene, his anger about to explode.

"Jiang Yan!!! Look at what you’ve done!"

Jiang Yan quickly waved his hands, "No, I...."

Jiang Zhao Yuan gritted his teeth, "How old are you? Making such a mess just taking some wine. You’re not drinking tonight, and if you ever set foot in the wine cellar again, I’ll break your legs!"

Jiang Yan: "No, Grandpa, that’s not fair!!!"

He hadn’t even run a couple of steps before he was tripped by the fragmented bottles on the ground.

As he fell, he thought, this year must have been adverse for him; after dinner, he would have to go ask Jiang Li for a couple of talismans to hang on to!

With the crackling of firecrackers, the New Year’s Eve dinner officially began.

Jiang Mingchuan was the first to stand up with his wine glass, "It’s rare that we are all together this year. Here’s to the Jiang Family getting better and scaling new heights next year."

Everyone cheerfully raised their glasses.

Jiang Cheng glanced at Jiang Shixu, who had successfully squeezed in next to Jiang Li, and snorted, "Kid, why are you drinking milk? Oh right, you’re still underage."

Jiang Shixu: "...." Who’s the more childish one?

Similarly served milk, Jiang Yan silently stared at his glass.

Can’t drink alcohol, so they couldn’t even give him a glass of juice?!

The dinner table was steaming hot, and everyone’s face was glowing with a faint blush.

As everyone was cheerfully chatting, Jiang Ye came running in from outside, frantically. Without even brushing off the snow on him, he exclaimed, "Disaster! Trouble! The Third Lady has had an accident!"
