Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 1018 - 1022: Loyal Supporter—Protector Feng

Camp Commander Feng came home and saw his wife holding a little tiger-head hat, looking it over. ”Xiao Xue, where’s Mom? Why don’t I see her?”

Zhao Xue looked up at him. ”Mom went to Sishui Village to find someone to trade for eggs. She’ll be back in a bit. Did you send the stuff over?”

Camp Commander Feng lifted up the cloth bag in his hand. ”I had to talk her into it, but Sister-in-law Huo finally accepted it. Oh right, she said there’s a return gift for you in this bag.”

As he spoke, he opened the cloth bag, but when he saw what was inside, he froze for a moment.

Once he recovered, he hurriedly reached in and took the item out.

But before he could say anything, Zhao Xue beside him cried out, ”Ginseng?”

After she finished speaking, she looked up at her husband. ”We went there to thank her, how did we end up accepting something this valuable?”

Camp Commander Feng hadn’t expected the return gift to be ginseng either, and for a moment he was troubled. ”If we send it back, that doesn’t seem right either. No wonder Sister-in-law told you to put it away properly.”

The couple stared at that small root of ginseng for a long time, not knowing what to do. In the end, it was Camp Commander Feng who made the call. ”Since Sister-in-law gave it, then we’ll accept it. We have to remember this kindness in our hearts.”

Zhao Xue nodded. ”Alright, I’ll listen to you. When Mom comes back, have her keep this ginseng.”

Camp Commander Feng sat down beside his wife. ”Have Mom slice a few pieces later and stew chicken soup for you to drink, just right to build you up a bit.”

The two of them were just talking when they heard movement outside.

Old Lady Feng walked in smiling. ”My luck is really good today. I not only traded for eggs, I even got an old hen back. Just right for the two of you to build yourselves up.”

Even though she knew her mother-in-law was treating her so well because of the child in her belly, Zhao Xue was still quite moved when she heard this. ”Mom, you should drink some too, you’ve really worked hard these past few days.”

Old Lady Feng waved her hand. ”It’s enough if you drink. It’d be a waste on me.”

After she finished speaking, she looked at her son. ”Shengli, in a bit you deal with the chicken and then get it stewing.”

Camp Commander Feng stood up and explained the matter of Yunyi giving them the ginseng. ”Mom, take a look.”

Old Lady Feng might like to take a little advantage, but she was someone who knew how to repay kindness. ”That Deputy Regimental Commander Huo’s wife really has a good heart. Not only did she save Xiao Xue and the child, now she’s given us something this valuable. From now on, if anyone dares say a single bad word about the Deputy Regimental Commander’s wife, this old woman will be the first not to let them off.”

Yunyi had no idea that because of a small root of ginseng she had gained a loyal supporter—Protector Feng.

In the days to come, whoever provoked Yunyi, Old Lady Feng would be the first to charge forward. She wouldn’t even spare those who dared gossip about Yunyi behind her back.

As for Yunyi, with Su Yuemei joining in, she basically didn’t have to worry about anything anymore.

Jiang Jingya walked into the house and saw Yunyi spacing out on the sofa. ”Yiyi, what are you thinking about?”

Yunyi didn’t hide it. ”I’m wondering when Jingrui will be able to come back.”

When Jiang Jingya heard this, she asked, ”Yiyi, do you regret marrying Jingrui?”

Seeing the serious look on her mother-in-law’s face, Yunyi suddenly laughed. ”If Jingrui knew you asked me that, what do you think he’d do?”

Jiang Jingya imagined her son glaring at her and couldn’t help shivering. ”Forget it, you’re already married and there’s already a baby. Asking that really isn’t appropriate.”

After speaking, she sat down beside Yunyi, wanting to tell her about Duan Zhuangyu.

Yunyi simply leaned against her mother-in-law’s shoulder. ”Mom, I know what you’re worried about. When I chose to date him back then, I already knew what I’d have to face in the future. He guards the nation, I guard the home. I won’t let him have any worries at the rear. Don’t worry.”
