Rebirth in the XNUMXs: The Hot Mom is in Charge

Chapter 78 Just help other families

His voice was a little deep, and it sounded like he had a cold.

"Is it really okay?" The man seemed not to let her go.

Shen Qingyue sighed, raised her head and looked at him, frowning slightly, "I'm fine, I'm just a little distracted."

Her gaze made Jiang Mingyuan slightly absent-minded. He had met her many times, but every time he saw her she was always so easily attracted to him. He admitted that her beauty did fascinate him, but he also knew that her inner being attracted him even more.

"It's really okay."

Although Shen Qingyue sat there quietly, she was keenly aware of the strange atmosphere at the other end of the dining table.

Huang Guibing and the other two daughters-in-law of the Jiang family gathered together, whispering, and seemed to be discussing something.

Shen Qingyue's eyes turned to them involuntarily.

There was a hint of subtle cunning on Huang Guibing's face, while the other two daughters-in-law nodded in agreement.

Although their voices were small, they still caught Shen Qingyue's attention in the noisy background.

Shen Qingyue couldn't help but feel a little doubt in her heart. She didn't understand why Huang Guibing wanted to discuss it privately with other daughters-in-law.

She knows Huang Guibing's character and likes to do little things behind his back.

Shen Qingyue didn't want to get too involved in the Jiang family's affairs, but she couldn't completely ignore it, especially when these small actions might affect her and Dongdong.

The three of them exchanged glances, seeming to be discussing some secret plan.

When they found Shen Qingyue's eyes staring at them, they did not stop talking, but showed a look of disdain.

Shen Qingyue felt this hostility, but she did not react immediately. She turned her head and continued to concentrate on eating her meal.

In the joyful atmosphere of the New Year's Eve dinner, the children's expectations reached their peak.

Each of them ate dumplings while searching with the hope of finding the lucky coin.

Suddenly, a strong voice cut through the noise, and he shouted in surprise: "I found it! I found the coin!"

He carefully took out a shiny one-dollar coin from his mouth, a look of pride on his face.

The children's reactions varied. Some showed disappointment, while others expressed congratulations to Qiangqiang.

Old Man Jiang was about to take out a red envelope from his pocket and give it to Qiangqiang, with a satisfied smile on his face.

At this moment, Liu Fanglian's daughter suddenly spit out a one-dollar coin from her mouth and shouted happily: "I got it too! Look, I have a coin too!"

The scene became a little chaotic for a while, and everyone was surprised that the two children found the coins almost at the same time.

Mrs. Jiang opened her mouth in surprise, "How is that possible? I only put one coin in!"

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Minghui's son Junjun also shouted excitedly: "I found it too! I also have coins!"

He proudly displayed his trophies.

The scene was filled with laughter and whispers.

The adults looked at each other with confusion and curiosity in their eyes.

A sneer curled up at the corner of Shen Qingyue's lips, and she finally understood the purpose of Huang Guibing and the other two daughters-in-law's whispers.

Obviously, the three of them were plotting how to use Old Man Jiang's game to get more money from him.

Although this behavior is cunning, it is also a clever method.

Old Man Jiang had an embarrassed expression on his face. He didn't expect that the little game he set up would turn into such a situation.

He turned to Mrs. Jiang with a questioning look in her eyes.

Mrs. Jiang spread her hands with an innocent look on her face. It was obvious that she did not expect this to happen.

A sudden episode broke the original atmosphere. Dongdong suddenly shouted softly: "Mom, it hurts so much."

Shen Qingyue's heart immediately rose to her throat.

She quickly put down her chopsticks, turned to Dongdong, and asked with concern: "Dongdong, what's wrong with you?"

The child's sudden discomfort suddenly made the atmosphere at the table tense.

Other family members also paid attention to Dongdong's situation.

Dongdong's little finger pointed to her mouth, with a trace of confusion in her eyes.

Shen Qingyue quickly opened his mouth to check, and found that there was actually a coin in his mouth.

Shen Qingyue was stunned by this unexpected discovery, and she quickly took out the coin.

Other members of the Jiang family noticed this scene and gathered around, their faces full of surprise.

Mrs. Jiang walked over quickly and asked anxiously: "What's going on? What's wrong with Dongdong?"

Shen Qingyue showed the one-cent coin and said in a deep voice: "Dongdong just spit out this coin from his mouth."

The scene was silent, everyone was shocked by this unexpected discovery.

Old Man Jiang's face changed even more, and he looked very confused: "How is this possible? What is going on?"

Everyone's eyes fell on the coin in Shen Qingyue's hand.

For a moment, several family members began to whisper, their expressions full of ridicule.

"Look, my sister-in-law is so poor that she can't even get out a dollar, so she actually uses one-cent coins!" Huang Guibing said with a malicious smile.

"That's ridiculous. What kind of trick is this? Stuffing a one-cent coin to get a red envelope is so stingy!" Liu Fanglian also sarcastically said.

When Shen Qingyue heard these words, there was no expression of anger or embarrassment on her face. She fully understood that these taunts were not important.

Old Man Jiang's expression became heavier as the scene changed.

He didn't like this sudden and rude ridicule, especially on such a New Year's Eve that was supposed to be warm and harmonious.

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Jiang walked over quickly, her expression becoming extremely complicated.

Her eyes fell on the one-cent coin in Shen Qingyue's hand, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.

It turned out that what she wrapped was a penny in the dumpling, not a dollar coin.

Mrs. Jiang stood there with complex emotions in her eyes.

She recalled that when Old Man Jiang asked her to wrap coins, Old Man Jiang said that he should put in a one-dollar coin.

However, she felt that one dollar was too much, so she privately decided to change it to one-cent coins.

Mrs. Jiang looked at the one-cent coin in Shen Qingyue's hand. She knew that if she told the truth, the red envelope would be given to Shen Qingyue, so in this special situation, she chose to remain silent.

She did not publicly disclose the fact that she had originally wrapped only a penny, nor did she show any signs of explaining herself.

Her expression was cold, and she didn't seem to care whether Shen Qingyue and Dongdong could get the red envelope, or in other words, she didn't want them to get it at all.

Under Old Man Jiang's questioning gaze, Old Woman Jiang simply shook her head and did not provide any explanation.

Her attitude seemed a little cold, as if the whole situation had nothing to do with her.

Shen Qingyue stood there, facing the ridicule around her, her expression remained calm and calm.

She was fully aware of the significance of Mrs. Jiang's silence, but she did not show any anger.

She smiled faintly and said to the family members surrounding her: "It's okay. Dongdong is fine now. As for the red envelopes, our family doesn't lack them. It's better to use them to help other families."
