Several of the younger cousins looked at Su Mu with a somewhat timid expression.

She seemed a little afraid of Su Mu, though it was unclear whether it was due to shyness.

"Quickly call for help."

The elders nearby immediately urged the child to greet them.

Su Mu noticed the child's unease and couldn't help but smile, remembering how he had gone through the same thing when he was a child.

After putting the vegetables down, Su's mother immediately began to busy herself with cooking.

The uncles standing nearby said things like, "Don't bother," and then left after sitting for a while.

Su Mu sat to one side, chatting with her uncles.

A moment later, the aunts and the others said to Su Mu, somewhat embarrassed.

"Hey Little Su, your cousin wants to get into the government system and he'd like your help."

The aunt standing to the side said somewhat embarrassedly.

Upon hearing this, Su Mu glanced at his cousin beside him and then smiled.

"I thought it was something serious; you can just make a phone call."

Su Mu helped that neighbor she wasn't particularly close to yesterday, so there's no reason she shouldn't help her aunt's family.

"Cousin, where are you going? Tell me which company and place you're going to, and I'll have someone put in a good word with you."

It's no big deal, he'll just go and say hello later.

Upon hearing this, the relatives standing nearby were overjoyed.

Everyone knew that my sister's child had become successful, but no one expected it to be so decisive.

They agreed without even asking where I was from.

Judging from appearances, they must have a very strong network of connections, which is why they can get things done anywhere.

My cousin, who was standing nearby, was also delighted to hear this and quickly told me which company he wanted to go to.

After hearing this, Su Mu took out her phone and sent a message.

The person on the other end of the phone immediately replied to Su Mu Su Mu, informing her that they would handle it as soon as possible.

"Alright, just wait for news. If you haven't heard from me by the Lantern Festival, then contact me again."

Su Mu looked at the reply and then said.

Once this matter was resolved, the atmosphere among relatives became much more harmonious.

After everyone had finished eating, Su Mu saw his relatives off.

Relatives just kept coming in waves.

Su Mu, who was staying at home, began to busy herself with receiving guests.

Su Mu's parents were overjoyed; their house hadn't been this lively in a long time.

As for Su Mu, as long as her parents are happy, that's all that matters.

He spends most of the year away from home, and now that he's back, Su Mu hardly shows any interest in cultivation, focusing all his energy on home.

When New Year's Eve arrived, the house became even more lively.

Not only did many relatives come, but Zhang Hualing and others also came.

Zhang Hualing walked in carrying large and small bags, her face beaming with smiles.

" Mr. Su."

Zhang Hualing looked at Su Mu with great respect, and Zhang Hualing's child beside her also looked at Su Mu cautiously.

He wasn't afraid of anyone, but the person in front of him Su Mu, truly made him feel a powerful sense of pressure.

The sense of oppression he felt stemmed from his experience of being saved by Su Mu after he fell ill.

Ever since that incident, he knew that the man in front of him was extremely unusual and mysterious.

"No need to be so polite."

Su Mu looked at Zhang Hualing, then at his wife and son, and couldn't help but say something.

"Not at all. I haven't visited during the holidays. It's rare to have time during the New Year, so of course I had to come and pay a visit. I was just worried that Mr. Su might find it a bit annoying."

Zhang Hualing spoke exceptionally well.

Given the other person's feelings, no normal person would say they're annoyed with you.

"Auntie probably needs some help in the kitchen, I'll go in and lend a hand first."

At this moment Zhang Hualing's wife spoke up, saying that having learned from her previous experience, she didn't dress too extravagantly this time.

It was just a regular set of clothes.

Zhang Hualing nodded upon hearing this, looking at his wife with a broad smile.

"Sit."

Su Mu gestured for the other person to sit down, then brought a teacup and poured tea for them.

Zhang Hualing glanced around. There were quite a few people in Su Mu's house this time, all curiously sizing each other up, unaware of each other's origins.

Some people could tell that they were Su Mu's relatives because they could tell from the dialect they spoke and the conversation they had with Su Mu's father.

" Mr. Su's house is really lively today."

Seeing this, Zhang Hualing smiled, somewhat moved.

Even during the Lunar New Year, his family has never been this lively.

It's quite rare to see someone like Su Mu, with all her relatives coming and the place packed with people.

It's normal for the New Year to be a bit lively.

Su Mu smiled upon hearing this.

Just as Su Mu and Zhang Hualing were talking, another number of cars drove up.

After glancing at the license plate, Su Mu raised an eyebrow; the license plate looked like it belonged to some organization.

Sure enough, Su Mu recognized the people in the car at a glance after they got out.

"You must be Mr. Su!"

Upon seeing Su Mu, the person who got out of the car quickly stepped forward and looked at Su Mu somewhat awkwardly.

Who are you?

Su Mu didn't recognize these people, but one of them looked somewhat familiar.

Like last year when I came with Zhou Jianhua.

"We're from the province, and we came specifically to visit Mr. Su's parents, and also brought some tonics."

Su Mu suddenly realized what was happening and invited these people inside.

Seeing this, the others quickly waved their hands, realizing that Su Mu already had so many people at home, and that staying would only cause more trouble.

So he quickly waved his hand, indicating that it wasn't necessary.

After saying that, he put the gifts down and drove away.

Seeing this, Su Mu shook his head. Since the other party was unwilling to stay, Su Mu couldn't force them.

After waiting a while, once the food was ready, three tables were set up and everyone sat down.

Firecrackers started popping and crackling outside, accompanied by the sound of fireworks.

Su Mu invited the relatives to sit down and eat, then went to the side to serve the dishes.

Serving dishes is actually hard work, but it was quite easy for Su Mu.

But Su Mu's actions made Zhang Hualing feel a little uncomfortable, as if Su Mu was serving her.

Zhang Hualing, who wanted to help, could only sit down and continue eating after Su Mu refused.

Zhou Jianhua didn't come today; I guess something must have happened.

Su Mu thought about this and actually thought it was a good thing. So many people had already come; if any more came, there wouldn't be enough room to sit.

It wasn't until Su Mu finished her work and sat down to eat that she received a call from Zhou Jianhua, and only then did she realize that things were not so simple.

Zhou Jianhua asked Su Mu urgently if she had any free time.
