There was a hint of grievance in Dongdong's voice, and he seemed to feel unfair about this matter.

Shen Qingyue looked at the unhappy expression on Dongdong's little face, and her heart was filled with tenderness.

She smiled and took out a red envelope from her pocket and handed it to Dongdong.

"Dongdong, although we didn't get the red envelope outside, mom has a special red envelope here, specially prepared for you." Shen Qingyue's voice was warm.

Dongdong's eyes immediately lit up, and he took the red envelope with the unique joy of an innocent child on his face.

He opened the red envelope and smiled even brighter when he saw the new banknotes inside.

"Thank you, mom!" Dongdong said excitedly, holding the red envelope tightly with his little hands, as if he was holding a precious treasure.

New Year's Eve slowly comes to an end amidst family disputes and a heavy atmosphere.

Although Shen Qingyue and Jiang Mingyuan tried their best to maintain calm and calmness, disharmony and tension within the family still filled the air.

In the room, Shen Qingyue and Jiang Mingyuan sat quietly. Although they had their own thoughts in their hearts, they didn't say anything more.

Dongdong was playing with his new red envelope and occasionally looked up at his parents, with a child's confusion in his eyes.

Outside the window, the cold wind of winter night blew gently, taking away the hustle and bustle of the day, leaving behind tranquility and reflection.

The lighting in the room is warm and soft, adding a touch of warmth to this extraordinary New Year's Eve.

Shen Qingyue sighed softly, looking through the window and staring at the starry sky in the distance.

She knew in her heart that although this New Year's Eve was not pleasant, at least she now had Dongdong by her side, which was a strength she could rely on.

Jiang Mingyuan sat silently next to Shen Qingyue. His eyes were firm, as if he was secretly determined to protect this little family no matter what difficulties and challenges he would face in the future.

Dongdong finally fell asleep. Shen Qingyue and Jiang Mingyuan gently covered him with a blanket. They exchanged a warm look, and then walked into the night's contemplation together.

Early the next morning, Shen Qingyue and Jiang Mingyuan took Dongdong, who had just woken up, to prepare for New Year greetings.

On the first morning of the new year, although the air was still cold, the sun was exceptionally bright, lighting up the entire Jiang family courtyard.

Shen Qingyue was wearing simple and elegant clothes with a faint smile on her face, as if she had left the unpleasantness of last night behind.

Dongdong wore her new clothes excitedly, clutching the red envelope she got last night tightly in her hand, her face filled with the unique joy of a child.

"Mom, where are we going to pay New Year's greetings today?" Dongdong asked curiously, his little face full of expectation.

Shen Qingyue gently stroked Dongdong's head and replied gently: "We are going to visit some relatives in the village."

Jiang Mingyuan added on the side: "Yes, on the first day of the New Year, we want to pay New Year greetings to our elders and express our blessings."

As soon as they walked out of the door, Shen Qingyue's family met Shen Qingyue's eldest brother Shen Yan and sister-in-law Lin Shuang who came to Jiang's house to pay New Year's greetings.

The sun shone on them, adding a bit of warmth to the morning.

Shen Yan and Lin Shuang were smiling, and when they saw Shen Qingyue and Jiang Mingyuan, their faces showed expressions of surprise.

"Qingyue, Mingyuan, happy New Year!" Shen Yan's voice was full of enthusiasm.

Shen Qingyue and Jiang Mingyuan responded with smiles on their faces: "Happy New Year, brother and sister-in-law, you came here so early."

Several people greeted each other, and the New Year's blessings looked particularly warm in the early morning sunshine. When Dongdong saw her parents paying New Year greetings, she also imitated their behavior, bowed carefully to Shen Yan and Lin Shuang, and said in a childish voice: "Uncle and aunt, happy New Year!"

Shen Yan and Lin Shuang both laughed when they saw Dongdong's cute appearance. Lin Shuang even bent down, gently picked up Dongdong, and kissed his cheek: "Dongdong is so good, happy New Year."

Shen Yan turned to Shen Qingyue and Jiang Mingyuan, with a sincere invitation in his tone: "Qingyue, Mingyuan, how about coming to my house for dinner at noon today? By the way, call the rest of the Jiang family to celebrate the New Year together."

Shen Qingyue felt a little hesitant when she heard her eldest brother Shen Yan's invitation.

Considering the unpleasant experience at the Jiang family the night before, she didn't really want to get together with the Jiang family again.

However, facing her eldest brother's sincere invitation, she couldn't refuse it directly.

She pondered for a moment, with a polite smile on her face, and said softly: "Okay, brother, we will be there on time."

Jiang Mingyuan saw Shen Qingyue's hesitation and gently shook her hand to express his support for her decision.

Shen Yan noticed Shen Qingyue's hesitation, but didn't ask any more questions. He just smiled and said, "That's great. We'll wait for you at home."

Lin Shuang also smiled and nodded, as if looking forward to the family reunion.

Dongdong heard everyone's conversation and asked curiously: "Mom, are we going to uncle's house to play?" His little eyes shone with the anticipation of a child.

Shen Qingyue gently touched Dongdong's head and replied softly: "Yes, Dongdong, we will go to my uncle's house for dinner at noon."

After Shen Yan and Lin Shuang said goodbye, Shen Qingyue took Jiang Mingyuan and Dongdong to visit other relatives' homes in the village to pay New Year's greetings.

Shen Qingyue, Jiang Mingyuan and Dongdong shuttled through the village, visiting relatives and friends from house to house.

Although this small village is not big, every household is filled with the joy and warmth of the New Year.

Along the way, they received warm hospitality and sincere blessings from the villagers.

Every time he went to a house, Shen Qingyue would bow respectfully with Dongdong, while Jiang Mingyuan accompanied him with a smile.

"Happy New Year, auntie." Shen Qingyue's voice was gentle. Every time she said it, she would hand over a small gift or red envelope as a return gift.

Dongdong followed her mother's example and said obediently: "Happy New Year!" The little guy's cute appearance always attracted bursts of laughter and praise.

Although Shen Qingyue was still a little worried, seeing Dongdong so happy, her mood gradually relaxed.

In less than two hours, they had visited all their relatives and friends and were ready to go home.

Returning to the Jiang family, Shen Qingyue found that several members of the Jiang family had gathered in the yard.

They seemed to be discussing New Year's plans. Seeing Shen Qingyue's family returning, the atmosphere became a little tense for a while.

Shen Qingyue maintained a calm and composed attitude, greeted everyone with a smile, and then conveyed Shen Yan's invitation to the Jiang family present.

"My brother invited us to have dinner at his house at noon. I hope everyone can go." Shen Qingyue's tone was calm.

Upon hearing Shen Qingyue's words, several members of the Jiang family looked at each other.

There was obvious sarcasm in Huang Guibing's voice, and he laughed coldly, looked at Shen Qingyue and spoke.

"Sister-in-law's family is so rich, don't just take something and send it away to us."
