As the month drew to a close, Lian Manman's family became increasingly busy. The shops needed inventory records to be tallied, annual earnings calculated, and dividends distributed. At home, they still had to prepare for the New Year, along with gifts for a few families they needed to visit. Naturally, Lian Manman couldn't slack off during this time. She went to town with Wu Lang for a few days. When they returned, they, of course, carried numerous large and small bags of New Year's goods.
This year's New Year was naturally more prosperous than ever before.
