Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 508: Chapter 508: I Really Don’t Know Where My Brother-in-law Found Such a Charming Person

Being family, Huo Jingrui naturally didn’t dare to strike out. He raised his arm in a defensive stance and asked, ”What are you all doing?”

The two children watched with great enthusiasm, clapping their hands in delight. ”Go for it!”

After a round of what could only be described as suppression by blood ties, Huo Jingrui watched helplessly as they snatched the photo from his shirt pocket. ”Be careful, don’t damage it,” he warned.

Seeing them succeed, Gao Ruyi quickly stood up and hurried over. ”Let me see, let me see!”

Jiang Jingya was the first to see the photo. ”This girl is truly lovely, son. You have good taste.”

Huo Weiyu playfully smacked her brother’s arm. ”Jingrui, what kind of incredible luck did you stumble upon?”

Huo Jiayuan’s eyes widened in amazement. ”She’s gorgeous! Brother, quick, tell us, where did you find this young sister-in-law?”

Huo Jingrui glared at his younger sister. ”Call her Fourth Sister-in-law. What’s this ’young sister-in-law’? It sounds awful.”

Lu Fengning, ever the clever one, piped up, ”Let me see what Fourth Aunt looks like!”

Hearing his niece’s words, Huo Jingrui immediately jabbed at his sister, ”See? Even a child has better manners than you.”

Huo Jiayuan, her eyes completely captivated by the fairy-like girl in the photo, couldn’t care less what her fourth brother was saying. ”Alright, alright, Fourth Sister-in-law, Fourth Sister-in-law. Happy now?”

Gao Ruyi chuckled, covering her mouth. She didn’t know why her younger brother-in-law was so particular about the terms ’young’ and ’fourth’. He wouldn’t allow his younger sister to call him ’Little Bro’; it had to be ’Fourth Bro.’ He also wouldn’t let the younger generation call him ’Young Uncle,’ insisting on ’Fourth Uncle.’ Yet, they seemed to love defying him precisely over these titles, often bickering playfully. Her mother-in-law never intervened; in fact, she seemed to enjoy watching their playful squabbles.

When Gao Ruyi finally saw the person in the photo, she couldn’t help but feel a twinge of envy. It brought to mind the saying, ”A lotus flower emerging from clear water, naturally beautiful without embellishment.” The girl was truly pure and elegant, needing no adornment. She really wondered where her younger brother-in-law had found such a charmer. Thinking of her third sister-in-law, Duan Zhuangyu, who was always trying to one-up others and loved to critique people’s looks, Gao Ruyi wondered what she’d have to be smug about now.

This thought wasn’t unique to her; everyone else naturally thought the same.

Then, Huo Jiayuan piped up, ”Shouldn’t my Third Sister-in-law tone it down a bit now?”

Huo Weiyu added, ”She’s not even in the same league. This is an absolute knockout.”

Jiang Jingya, however, found herself liking the girl in the photo more and more. Her daughter-in-law, Jiang Jingya’s daughter-in-law, should be exactly like this!

”She and Jingrui truly are a talented man and a beautiful woman—a match made in heaven.”
Hearing this, Huo Jingrui couldn’t help but think smugly to himself, As expected of my mom; she has the same excellent taste as I do.

Lu Fengning, growing impatient, cried out, ”Grandma, quick, let me see Fourth Aunt’s photo!”

Behind her, Huo Xiaoxi, who had scrambled down from his chair, was also eager. ”Grandma, I want to see Fourth Aunt too!”

Jiang Jingya, being tugged at by her granddaughter, had no choice but to hand over the photo. ”Careful now, don’t tear it.”

When Lu Fengning saw the photo, she exclaimed, ”Wow! Fourth Aunt is so pretty! Much prettier than Third Aunt!”

Hearing his cousin, Huo Xiaoxi chimed in, ”Yeah, Fourth Aunt is pretty! Prettier than Third Aunt!”

Gao Ruyi lightly smacked her son’s hand. ”You can’t say that in front of your Third Aunt, understand?”

The little fellow didn’t understand and looked up, asking, ”Why?”

Gao Ruyi was at a loss as to how to explain it to her son. Jiang Jingya squatted down and said softly, ”Xiaoxi, if I said you were ugly, would you be happy?”

Huo Xiaoxi’s head shook back and forth like a drum rattle. ”Xiaoxi isn’t ugly!”

Jiang Jingya whispered in her grandson’s ear, ”If you say that out loud, your Third Aunt will be unhappy too. It’s enough that we know in our hearts that Fourth Aunt is beautiful, okay? Understood?”

She knew perfectly well what kind of person her third daughter-in-law, Duan Zhuangyu, was. Even though her future daughter-in-law was indeed leagues ahead of Duan Zhuangyu, she didn’t want to create animosity for the new bride before she even married into the family.
