Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 1067 - 1671: If You’re Not Married, You’re Still a Child

In previous years during the New Year, Auntie Zhang would always take leave to celebrate with her daughter’s family, while the women of the Huo Family would take turns cooking the meals.

This year, because she was pregnant, Yunyi’s mother-in-law was afraid she might overexert herself, so she asked Auntie Zhang to stay back.

Auntie Zhang was naturally more than willing. If it hadn’t been for Yunyi’s intervention last time, her own granddaughter might have been in danger. She would remember this kindness for a lifetime.

Yunyi understood her mother-in-law’s good intentions, but she also wanted to express her gratitude to Auntie Zhang, which is why she prepared a red envelope for her in advance.

She didn’t want to create any trouble for the other families, so she discreetly handed the red envelope to Auntie Zhang.

After giving the red envelope, she turned around and walked out of the living room.

She couldn’t help but hear her mother-in-law’s voice: "Mom, Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year. Our Yiyi looks so beautiful today."

Yunyi twirled around on the spot: "It’s because of Mom’s good taste; I really like these clothes."

After tidying herself up, she put on the clothes her mother-in-law previously bought for her. She genuinely liked them and wanted to make her mother-in-law happy since she had put a lot of thought into it.

Jiang Jingya was overjoyed seeing her daughter-in-law so pleased: "As long as you like them."

While the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were chatting, the other families started to stir.

Yunyi greeted with a bright smile, "Big Sis, Second Sis, Happy New Year."

The two sisters-in-law responded with a smile: "Happy New Year to you too, Little Sis/Yiyi."

Next came the ritual of Jiang Jingya leading all the family children in distributing red envelopes, even including their daughters-in-law and daughters.

Gui Hongmei joked with a smile: "Ah, we’re lucky thanks to Yiyi this year. We got red envelopes too."

Jiang Jingya didn’t feel awkward: "You’ve forgotten, you’re going to become a mother-in-law soon. You forgot how it was when you first got married, but you’re right, it’s all thanks to Yiyi."

Gao Ruyi raised her red envelope with a grin: "Big Sis, the first year we entered the family, Auntie Jiang also gave us red envelopes, but this year it’s definitely due to Little Sis."

The two sisters-in-law naturally had no objections; Auntie Jiang has always been fair in her actions. If she had any other intentions, she certainly wouldn’t distribute the red envelopes in front of them.

After that, it was the turn for the aunts and uncles in-law to give red envelopes to the younger generation, keeping the kids happily busy.

Yunyi handed the last red envelope to Xiaodong.

Xiaodong shyly said, "Fourth Aunt, I’ve already started working; I shouldn’t be accepting red envelopes."

Yunyi directly placed the red envelope in his hand: "This is the first year since I married into the Huo Family; all the young ones get a share. Besides, you’re still considered a child until you start your own family.

Once you have a family and children, the red envelopes will be for your sons and daughters, not for you."

Xiaodong felt even more embarrassed, especially since his wedding date had already been set.

Gui Hongmei looked at her son with a smile: "All right, your Fourth Aunt gave it to you, so just accept it."

"Thank you, Fourth Aunt."

Seeing her son’s embarrassment: "Your grandfather is outside with your Dad and the others shoveling snow, you’d better go help them."

The children clamoring to build a snowman chimed in, "We’ll go help too."

Breakfast was simple, with a few small dishes and dumplings.

The people shoveling snow outside came in just as the dumplings were being served.

This year, without Duan Zhuangyu’s snarky comments, the New Year celebration was especially harmonious.

Initially, Jiang Jingya planned to take Yunyi around to pay visits to different families, but before they could leave, guests arrived at their doorstep.

Qiao Wenyu didn’t wait for his mother to greet the Huo Family; he first greeted Yunyi: "Yunyi, Happy New Year."

Yunyi was very happy to see Qiao Wenyu: "Happy New Year."
