Chapter 100 is complete, Death Note.
The two ladies of the Wang family were overjoyed when they saw Yuan Chun being brought over by the wet nurse. They hugged her with obvious affection, and they truly loved this niece.
Currently, only the eldest wife of the Wang family has a son. The second wife of the Wang family does not have any children yet. She really likes the child and wants to hold him to share in his good fortune.
Jia Hu and Jia Zhu sat on the stone benches in the courtyard, not wanting to go inside.
Seeing that her brother was unhappy, Jia Zhu offered her little face for him to pinch.
"Brother, are you unhappy?"
Jia Hu's anger had actually subsided considerably; he was confident he could handle this person. He pinched his younger brother's cheek and said:
"Stay away from your cousin from now on. Avoid contact with him if possible, understand?"
Jia Zhu nodded obediently.
"I don't actually like this cousin very much either."
Jia Hu: "If you don't like it, then stay away."
She couldn't let Wang Ren get close to her cute little brother.
Jia Zhu suddenly clenched her little fist and asked angrily:
"Brother, did he bully you at the door?"
Jia Hu laughed when he saw his younger brother's adorable expression, as if he wanted to stand up for him.
"It's alright, he wouldn't dare."
Jia She and Jia Zheng came over, and Jia She smiled and said:
"What are you two saying? Hu'er, are you tired? Your uncle is coming, are you still going?"
Jia Hu immediately perked up.
"go."
My maternal uncle is here, so my cousin must be here too. I wonder if he likes the improved scooter I sent him.
Jia Zheng felt conflicted. His in-laws' child had received such a evaluation, so he decided to keep Zhu'er away from that child.
When his cousin arrived, Jia Hu went up and gave him a hug. His cousin was the best.
Zhang Shiyan was overwhelmed by his cousin's enthusiasm; his cousin had missed him so much after only a few days apart.
Jia Zhu objected, feeling that someone was trying to take away his elder brother. Zhang Shiyan looked at the child beside him, pouting and looking up at him, and laughed:
"You must be Zhu'er's cousin. You are just as cute as Hu'er said. Here, this is for you."
As he spoke, he handed over a small jade tiger pendant.
Jia Zhu was taken aback and felt a little embarrassed. This cousin was actually a nice person, good-looking, and even praised her for being cute.
Jia Hu laughed and said:
"Take it, it's from my cousin."
Jia Zhu obediently thanked him and accepted the carving. It was a small, reclining tiger, which looked adorable. Jia Zhu liked it very much and decided that if this cousin passed the test, he might be a decent person and could be her cousin, albeit barely.
Once everyone had arrived, the adults began exchanging pleasantries, and Jia Hu and Jia Zhu wanted to drag their cousin Shi Yan out to play.
When Jia Hu came in, he was thinking about how he would refuse if Grandmother Jia asked him to take Wang Ren to play. But when he came in, he learned that Wang Ren had gone to see Madam Wang, and he breathed a sigh of relief and took his cousin to see his toys.
Zhang Shiyan looked at his cousin's various toys and was amazed.
"Cousin Hu'er, did you do all this?"
The scooters in front of me have handlebars, some don't, and there are also puzzles, building blocks, Rubik's Cubes—did my cousin make all these things?
Jia Hu, fearing his cousin thought he was wasting his time on frivolous pursuits, quickly explained:
“Cousin, I made all of this during my vacation. I didn’t do any of this when I was in school. Little brother Zhu’er can testify to that.”
Jia Zhu nodded in agreement.
My brother is amazing; he did all of this in the last few days.
Seeing his cousin's nervousness, Zhang Shiyan knew he had misunderstood and smiled:
"I'm not saying that my cousin Hu'er didn't study hard, but I'm surprised that he's so amazing, making such a thing in such a short time."
Jia Hu immediately puffed out his chest, and together with Jia Zhu, the two began to explain the origin of each item.
“The master carpenter made all of these as soon as I asked, and little Zhu’er and little Zhen’er from that courtyard also helped out.”
Jia Hu was very proud. Seeing Shi Yan's curious expression, he waved his hand and said:
"Cousin, I'll send you a copy of each one."
Jia Hu felt that a childhood without toys was incomplete. Even though his cousin was like a little adult now, he was still a child.
Zhang Shiyan looked at his cousin, who seemed to think, "I'm so amazing!" and praised him with a smile.
"Thank you very much, cousin. I really liked the scooter you gave me last time. I ride it at home every day. My grandfather and father are so envious of me."
Jia Hu's eyes lit up and he said, "My maternal grandfather and eldest uncle also like it. Then I'll make an adult version and send it over later."
How could I forget? If we make this bigger and sturdier, adults can ride it too.
Zhang Shiyan praised him again, saying that out of respect for his grandfather and father, he didn't tell his cousin Hu'er about how they secretly rode his bike and almost fell off.
"By the way, Hu'er, the scooter you asked me to give to the grandson of the emperor is very popular with him. He said he would thank you when we meet. Grandfather also told me to tell you that he will go back the day after tomorrow."
Jia Hu realized that he would be meeting the Crown Prince the day after tomorrow, and he was quite excited. His maternal grandfather was really efficient; he thought he would have to wait until after the New Year to meet the Crown Prince.
Soon the three Shi brothers and their families arrived, and everyone was finally gathered.
The maids came to call them over, saying that all the guests had arrived.
Jia Hu greeted everyone and received many gifts. After sitting down, he started matching people with gifts for himself. Everyone in the room had left. What was this New Year's gathering?
[These four great families are all here except for the Xue family. They really are the four great families. And what is that official protection talisman? What is that official protection talisman? It's the Death Note!]
Those whose names are on the list die or disperse, just like the King of Hell calling roll.
Forget about the "Four Great Families"! Wake up! It's about to be a battle royale!
The Jia family was prepared from the beginning. Although they were still a little nervous, they quickly regained their composure.
As Jia Daishan was smiling and talking with Wang Ziteng, he was satisfied to find that the boy was indeed an outstanding young talent and began to cherish his talent.
Hearing Jia Hu's words, his expression didn't change, but he was certain in his heart that a purge was inevitable.
Zhang's eldest uncle sipped his tea with a smile, observing the expressions of the people in the room. Indeed, only those related by blood could hear this.
As my father had said before, apart from the Jia family, the other four families are currently only relying on the blessings of their ancestors. This is a good thing, because if their children and grandchildren are talented, they can rise up later. If not, it is better for these families to keep a low profile.
It seems the eldest nephew wants to sever ties, which is the right thing to do. However, the Jia family is on the rise, and other families won't easily allow a break. They'd rather find connections than not have them. Besides, the four great families that have always been intermarried can't be easily separated. It seems this won't be easy.
