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."

Adam rolled his eyes upwards. Then he walked over and took the lucky money with a broad grin.

"Thank you. I accept it on behalf of Nancy."

Adam was satisfied when he saw the old woman frown with unwillingness. He deliberately counted the lucky money one by one and shouted surprisingly. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Oh my God. You are so generous. You gave me and Nancy 150 dollars respectively this year. But you only gave us 30 dollars in the past."

The old woman was irritated and kept a straight face at once. But the next second, she thought of how difficult it was to live without the support of the Brook family. She realized that she should not offend the Brook family. Otherwise, she and her family probably had to go back to their hometown and lived a poor life.

So she still tried her best to force a smile and also flattered Adam.

Adam was pleased to see the old woman dared not be arrogant. He gave Nancy her share of lucky money.

"Nancy, take it. Anyway, Dad will also give them lucky money. I used to be the only kid to receive lucky money in our family. The old woman always gives me 30 dollars, but Dad gives each one of her grandchildren 150 dollars. We often suffer losses."

Adam said with an indignant look. He hoped that his father could give them less lucky money.

The old woman said angrily, "Adam, how dared you say these words?"

She was always haughty and aggressive at her home, so she ran off her endurance easily. Moreover, she was teased by Adam, who was just a little kid. She couldn't help presuming her old age to scold Adam.

Neil patted Adam casually and apologized to the old woman with a smile, "Sorry. Adam is honest and direct at his age. Don't take it to heart."

The old woman was even madder when she heard the words "honest and direct".

The old woman was so angry that her chest was painful.

Marcus immediately called Philip, "Fetch a family doctor and put him on standby."

There was no room for blackmail!

Windy almost burst out laughing. She covered her mouth and leaned against her husband's shoulder. She was trembling because she tried hard to suppress a smile.

The haughty old woman was mocked by Windy's sons and took on an embarrassed expression. Windy was amused!

The Elderly Mr. Brook coughed suddenly.

He winked at Marcus and Neil. He wanted them to stop mocking the old woman. If the old woman got sick from being irritated, she must lay the blame on the Brook family.

Yvonne was sitting on the sofa with a fixed smile. She clenched her fists under her long sleeves. She visited Uncle James each New Year Holiday, but this time she was experiencing the hardest moment.

Marcus and Neil didn't like Yvonne and her family, but they would just ignore them in the past. But this year...

Yvonne bit her lip and her eyes fell on Nancy, who was being held by Neil.

As soon as Yvonne looked over, she met Marcus' icy gaze. Her face turned pale at once with fright.

Her face went paler when she thought of the warning Marcus had given her after Nancy's birthday party.

She thought it was all Nancy's fault. Nancy must have spoken ill of her in front of Marcus and Neil. How could Nancy be so insidious and despicable at such a young age! She wondered why they treated Nancy so well!

As the saying goes, one who apologized with a smile should be forgiven. The old woman and her family visited the Brook family with smiles today. In normal times, an excuse could be easily found to refuse their visit. But it was during the New Year Holiday now. It was tricky to deal with them.

The old woman restrained her anger and sat nearby the Elderly Mr. Brook to fawn on him. Her son and daughter-in-law also tried to find a topic for conversation. Liz stared at the snacks on the table and stuffed lots of them into her pocket.

Liz hadn't seen snacks at her home for a long time. Now her grandmother and parents weren't responsive to her needs anymore. She was told that it was all because of Nancy that her family lived a miserable life. So she disliked Nancy and put all the blame on her.

She was afraid of Marcus, so she could only cast Nancy a hostile glare from time to time. She didn't dare to look Nancy square in the eyes.

"Nancy, I am coming."

Ivan's voice came from outside. Then he ran into the house and wore the same red hoodie as Nancy, holding a sika deer plush toy.

"Here you are. I bought it for you in City A. Isn't it cute? I think of you when I look at its eyes."

The sika deer plush toy was snow-white. Its eyes were beautiful and lifelike, which was similar to Nancy's.

Shawn followed Ivan to come in. He changed the red hoodie into the clothes he usually wore. He looked aloof, detached and handsome. The moment Yvonne saw Shawn, she was deeply attracted

and felt her heart racing. She stared at Shawn with great affection.
