Originally, Lady Wilson had agreed to work at the supermarket today. 1 The supermarket supervisor had also promised to give her double pay today.

However, Lady Wilson slumped on a chair and could not get up as her blood pressure rose critically all of a sudden, after her hard-earned money was stolen and getting mocked by Elaine. 1 Although there was nothing serious with her health, she could only helplessly cancel the thought of going to work today as her blood pressure rose critically due to extranger.

Seeing her hard-earned money was stolen and losing the opportunity of earning double pay at work, Lady Wilson was extremely dejected. 1 She wanted to let Wendy work at the supermarket today for the double pay.

However, once she thought of Christopher and Harold who were lying on the bed, paralyzed, and herself, who suffered hypertension, could not even take care of herself let alone the two paralyzed men, she dared not let Wendy leave.

The four of them could only stay in the luxurious villa, helplessly staring at each other.

They were penniless now. The only thing they had was the leftover food from yesterday.

Originally, they were just leftover dishes with soup, but after being left for a night, they had been in ruins and looked horrible. 4 Wendy suggested heating up the leftovers for lunch later, but Lady Wilson was against it.

She said to Wendy, "The leftovers are the only food we have now. If we eat them now, we'll have to starve tonight." With that, Lady Wilson sighed and continued." Tonight is New Year's Eve. Didn't we say that no matter what, we can never starve ourselves on the night of New Year's Eve? So let's save the leftover food for tonight." Wendy cried and said, "But grandma, those leftovers are not even enough to feed the four of us. What's the point of keeping them for tonight..." 1 Lady Wilson chided, "You don't get it! We must have the New Year's Eve dinner no matter what! If we don't, we'll be fated to be poor for next year and there's no turning back!" 1 Harold also cried at this point. "Grandma, didn't you say that you would makedumplings tonight? Why are you makingeat those leftovers again?" Lady Wilson was filled with extrhelplessness. "I can't help it too, Harold. Afterall, we don't have any money now. How are we supposed to buy flour and meat?" Harold wailed sorrowfully. "Grandma, today is New Year's Eve. Even if we can't afford a lavish feast, at least lethave sdumplings. I don't want to eat those leftovers again. The soup has an ambiguous smell of dishwater and rusty kitchen knives. It's too horrible..." 3 Christopher, who was standing aside, said while choking, "That's enough, Harold. It's good enough that we still have food... It's better than spending New Year's Eve on an empty stomach..." 5

With that, he gritted his teeth and cursed, "It's all your mother's fault! That son of a b*tch stole aft your grandma's money! We could at least eat a bowl of hot dumplings otherwise..." 2 Wendy wailed as well. While sobbing, she said, "Mom is too much! Didn't she think about us when she stole grandma's money?" 4

Lady Wilson blurted furiously, "Hmph! If she was at least a bit considerate to all of us, she wouldn't have m prostituted herself in the coal mine in the first place! She is nothing but an unfaithful sl*t! I hope God will punish her for what she's done!" 4

She slumped back on the chair, slapping her thigh while crying, oh God, please open your eyes and look atus! Please look at how our living conditions are now!" 1 Then, she covered her face and cried loudly. 1 The others also kept whimpering, and thunderous cries echoed in the villa...
