Chapter 431: Reporting to the Police
Lin Fengying brought her village habits to Kyoto, making a lot of dumplings two nights before the New Year’s eve to be eaten on New Year’s eve and the first day of the year. It was cold, so the dumplings wouldn’t go bad.
Before, making dumplings during Chinese New Year was the happiest time for the family. The three children would help her, the family would chat and laugh together, but now it felt particularly cold and lonely.
After all, she was a mother and the thought of Si Chen spending the New Year alone in the staff quarters made her heart ache. She was thinking of sending him some dumplings tomorrow, taking the opportunity to ease the mother-son relationship.
No matter how harsh her arguments were with her eldest son, deep in her heart, she never wanted to break ties with him.
"He doesn’t even consider you his mother, why do you care about him!" Si Xiaohui rolled her eyes, thinking to herself that her mother always favored her elder brother more. Even though he wanted to break the mother-son bond completely, her mother still worried about him.
"After all, he is your elder brother, the child I bore for ten months." Lin Fengying said.
Since Lin Fengying had said so, Si Xiaohui didn’t say anything more.

Last year, Si Chen had to work during the New Year and had no rest, so this year he had two days off for the holiday. He was not at work from the New Year’s Eve to the second day of the New Year and had to resume work on the third day. After having breakfast on the New Year’s eve, everyone discussed and decided to go and put up the Spring Festival couplets in the shop and staff quarters.
Tong Yao and Si Chen would paste the Spring Festival couplets in the shop, while Tong Yaohui and Wen Yun would paste them in the staff quarters.
