Claire helped Charlie wash and cut the vegetables and prepare other ingredients, while Jacob chopped the dumpling fillings manually with a kitchen knife. 3 It was such a rare and harmonious atmosphere as the four of them were helping out in the kitchen. 2 As the sky gradually darkened, dishes one after another were served on the dining table. 1 At villa A04, Jennifer, Yara, and Yulia were getting busy in the kitchen as well.
The three ladies lived quite a modest life. In addition to the preparation of dumpling dough and meat fillings, they also bought a chicken, a fish, and two pounds of ribs to cook a few home-cooked dishes with a combination of meat and vegetables, s Jennifer felt that it was a blessing for the three of them to have the opportunity to live in such a nice villa, so she dedicatedly bought an incense burner, a handful of incense, and a cheap Goddess of Mercy portrait to set up a small shrine. 2 Before dinner, Jennifer took Yulia and Yara to kneel in front of the shrine.
Holding three incense sticks with both hands, Jennifer said with immense devotion, "Oh, Goddess of Mercy. Thank you for blessing the three of us who had lived a bitter life, for being able to stay in such a good villa in this lifetand live a good life that we could not even dare to dream of before. Rest assured that we will work hard and will never be lazy. Please kindly oversee our lives! Also, please bless us with a better life in the future!" 1 On either side behind her were Yulia and Yara.
At this moment, while holding three incense sticks up high, both of them also followed suit and said, "Oh, Goddess of Mercy! Please bless us!" Subsequently, they grovelled devotedly at the portrait and gave three loud knocks to the ground with their foreheads in token of worship to the Goddess of Mercy.

After the other two did the same, she said contentedly, "Alright, ladies! Let's go and eat New Year's Eve dinner!" 2 The other two said in unison, "Let's go, sis Jennifer!" When the three of them went to have dinner, Wendy and Lady Wilson, who had been hiding at the corner of the stairs, watched gingerly. They could not resist coming down to take a look because they smelled the aroma of the dinner. 1 Although Lady Wilson wanted to save the leftovers that she brought back yesterday for New Year's Eve dinner, the four of them had finished them before nightfall due to unbearable hunger.
The leftovers were not much, and each of them was not even half-full after the meal, so they were still starving.
1 Lady Wilson and Wendy were drooling as they looked at the table with home-cooked food made by the three ladies. 2
When the three ladies started eating, Wendy asked Lady Wilson in a m hushed voice, "Grandma, do you think they will leave any leftovers later?" Lady Wilson shook her head while swallowing her saliva again. "I don't know, but I hope so..." 2
Wendy said aggrievedly, "If only they could leave two pieces of ribs and a bowl of rice I'm afraid they wouldn't Er leave anything at all..." 1 With that, tears had already streamed down her cheeks. 1
Looking at the incense burner in front of the Goddess Of Mercy's portrait, Lady Wilson said in a serious tone," Wendy, don't worry. See that incense burner over there? Its inside is filled with rice! Let's wait till they go back to their rooms to rest at night, and we'll use those rice to make porridge!" X Like RICH WOMEN? These women desperately want a mature men!
