That afternoon, the eldest son and his wife from the Huang family were arrested because the Qiu family accused them of fraud. This meant the Huang family wouldn't have a pleasant New Year.
Mother Huang even thought of going to the Lu family to ask Lu Yichen for help, but her family stopped her. They already upset the Lu family today, and visiting them again would only add to the trouble. It's truly a way to dig their own grave.

This year's New Year's Eve dinner wasn't with the eldest family because they took their daughter back to Gansu to celebrate the New Year.
Lu Ran was pregnant, but Zhou Lei's grandmother was having her 80th birthday on the third day of the lunar new year. Before knowing about the pregnancy, the young couple had directly promised to go home for the New Year and to attend the birthday celebration on the third day.
Originally, Zhou Lei was ready to call his family to say they couldn't make it, but Lu Ran stopped him.
