Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

Their backs carried a heavy weight of the past, the marks left by past pain and suffering.

But at this moment, their steps were incredibly firm, filled with hope for the future.

After today's two verdicts, Qin Min has completely severed ties with Chen Dong's family.

What awaited Qin Min was imprisonment, which began a few days later when he was taken to jail.

A fifteen-year prison sentence is enough for him to pay a heavy price for his heinous acts.

The Chen family has finally broken free from this unbearable past and ushered in a new life.

For a period of time after that, Chen Dong's life was filled with sweetness and warmth.

He seemed to have found the true meaning of life, which was being with Chu Mengran.

Most of the time, he wasn't on a sweet date with Chu Mengran; the two were strolling through the streets and alleys, sharing their thoughts and joys.

As I walked along the road to meet Chu Mengran, my heart was filled with joy and anticipation, and everything along the way seemed exceptionally beautiful.

They lived a happy and carefree life, as if they were soaked in honey.

Time flies like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, the atmosphere of the New Year has permeated the streets and alleys.

The streets and alleys are decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and big red lanterns are hung high.

People's faces beamed with joy as they made their final preparations for the upcoming New Year.

On New Year's morning, sunlight streamed through the window and gently fell on Chen Dong's face.

The warm orange light was like a gentle hand, softly caressing his cheek.

Chen Dong slowly woke up, stretched, and looked at the brand-new curtains and the red lanterns swaying in the wind outside the window. The corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

That smile was full of anticipation for the New Year.

Chen Dong quickly dressed, tidied himself up, and put on the brand-new clothes his mother had prepared long ago.

This garment was sewn by his mother herself, every stitch filled with her love.

Chen Dong walked out of the bedroom looking refreshed and energetic.

"Dad, Mom, Eldest Sister, Happy New Year!"

Chen Dong's voice was clear and loud, full of youthful vigor, echoing in the room.

It was as if a cheerful breeze had been brought into this peaceful home.

Chen Jianguo and Li Huazhen were sitting in the living room when they saw Chen Dong come out, and their faces were filled with happy smiles.

Chen Jianguo was wearing a brand-new Zhongshan suit, the fabric of which was smooth and brightly colored.

Her hair was neatly combed, without a single stray hair, making her look exceptionally energetic.

Li Huazhen was wearing a festive red cotton-padded jacket.

The embroidery on the cotton-padded jacket was exquisite and delicate, with auspicious patterns that shone brightly in the sunlight.

She was carefully arranging the fruit platter; the fruits were fresh, tender, and attractively colored, and arranged in a pleasing, staggered manner.

Upon hearing Chen Dong's voice, Li Huazhen quickly looked up, a kind smile spreading across her face.

"Hey Dongzi, Happy New Year!"

Li Huazhen said with a smile, her eyes full of love, a gaze that seemed to melt Chen Dong's heart.

"Come and have some fruit, we're going to have a good time today."

The eldest sister, Chen Xiumei, also came out of the room.

After making money at her small jewelry shop, Aunt Chen Guilan moved out of the house.

She lived with her two daughters, Daya and Erya, in a rented house near a small jewelry store.

As for the eldest sister, Chen Xiumei, due to Qin Min's criminal case, the property they originally shared has been seized by the court.

Regarding related compensation and division of marital property, the court made corresponding judgments.

However, you can't get the judgment immediately.

Since Qin Min is in jail, he doesn't have any money or anything like that; he'll have to wait until he gets out of jail.

So now Chen Xiumei has come back to live here.

At this moment, Chen Xiumei's face still bore traces of life's hardships, marks left by the pain she had suffered for her family.

But amidst the joyful atmosphere of the New Year, there was also a sense of ease and relief.

Chen Xiumei wore a red sweater paired with light-colored pants, looking both warm and elegant.

"Dongzi, Happy New Year! You look so energetic, you must have slept well last night."

Chen Xiumei joked with a smile.

"Of course! Just thinking about celebrating the Lunar New Year today and being able to be with my family makes me so happy that I slept like a log."

As Chen Dong spoke, he walked over to Chen Jianguo and bent down to straighten his collar.

He gently pinched the wrinkles in his father's collar to make it neater.

Then he looked up and said with a smile, "Dad, you look so energetic today. Wearing these new clothes makes you look several years younger."

Chen Jianguo laughed heartily and patted Chen Dong's shoulder forcefully.

The slap made Chen Dong take a slight step back, but his face was full of a happy smile.

"You have such a sweet tongue. In the new year, may our whole family be well."

"You need to take good care of yourself too, and get along well with your girlfriend Chu Mengran."

"I know, Dad. Don't worry, Mom and I will be fine."

Chen Dong nodded seriously, his eyes firm.

At that moment, an enticing aroma wafted from the kitchen.

The allure of delicious food permeated the air, making one's mouth water.

Li Huazhen stood up and tied on the blue apron.

There were several cute little plush toys on the apron, and the plush toys seemed to feel the New Year atmosphere, becoming especially interesting.

After skillfully tying the ribbon, she began to busy herself in the kitchen.

"Come on, let's go to the kitchen. We need to cook a big New Year's Eve dinner to celebrate."

Li Huazhen greeted everyone with a smile.

Upon hearing Li Huazhen's words, the family members all headed towards the kitchen.

Upon entering the kitchen, the lively atmosphere was like a fire being lit.

Chen Dong and Chen Xiumei took the initiative to help.

Chen Dong went to the vegetable washing basin, put handfuls of fresh vegetables into the basin, and began to wash the vegetables carefully.

The vegetables danced merrily in his hands, becoming clean and tidy after being rinsed with water.

Chen Xiumei, meanwhile, skillfully picked up a knife on the cutting board and chopped the vegetables into even small pieces.

The knife tapped rhythmically on the cutting board, producing a crisp sound, like a beautiful melody.

Chen Jianguo was in charge of starting the fire, and he looked like a seasoned old craftsman.

Pick up a bundle of firewood, skillfully place it into the stove, and then gently stir the flames with fire tongs, letting the fire burn happily in the stove.

As the flames burned, a warm aroma filled the entire kitchen.

He would occasionally add more firewood to the stove to make the flames burn brighter.

The leaping flames seemed to be cheering for the arrival of the New Year.

"Mom, what kind of filling should we make for these dumplings this year?"

While washing the vegetables, Chen Dong asked curiously.

"Pork and cabbage filling, that's your favorite."

Li Huazhen replied with a smile, "I'll also make some with chive and egg filling; your older sister loves them too."

"Great! I haven't had my mom's dumplings in ages. Just thinking about them makes my mouth water."
