Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 825: Chapter 825: As Proud As You Are Now, As Embarrassed As You’ll Be Later

Granny Qi is really brave. At such an old age, she isn’t afraid of injuring herself.

She rummaged through the house for quite some time, then came out carrying a bunch of stuff, glancing around nervously like a guilty thief. After confirming that there was no movement in Yunyi’s new house, she hunched over and sneaked to the main gate.

Yunyi watched Granny Qi’s actions all along, never expecting she would have such nerve, directly opening the courtyard gate from inside and strutting out.

Afterwards, she even thoughtfully closed the gate, probably wanting Yunyi to think she had forgotten to latch it the next morning.

The moment the gate closed, Yunyi opened her door and left the courtyard, leaping onto the top of the gate in a few bounds.

From this spot, Granny Qi wouldn’t notice her, but she could clearly photograph all of Granny Qi’s actions.

Watching Granny Qi bring the items back to her own house, and then come out to carry away the ladder propped against the courtyard wall, Yunyi finally wrapped up her task.

In the middle of the night, she didn’t want to stress herself out or trouble anyone else.

She went back to her room, tidied up briefly, collected the lean meat porridge simmered in her space kitchen into storage, and prepared to rest, as she had plenty of things to handle tomorrow.

The next morning, Yunyi took out a bowl of lean meat porridge from her space for breakfast.

She then grabbed her camera and went out.

First, she went to the Workers’ Hospital to follow Director Qiao and the others on ward rounds, then told her colleagues in the same department, ”I have to go out for a while. If anyone comes looking for me, please ask them to wait a bit.”

Because she had tasks to complete today, she specifically rode her bicycle over, reaching the county’s state-owned photo studio in just over ten minutes, asking them to urgently develop the photos.

However, times now weren’t like the later generations; even with urgency, she couldn’t get them immediately. She only heard the staff say after issuing the order, ”Come and collect them after 2 PM.”

Yunyi took the photo collection ticket: ”Alright.”

At this time, Old Lady Qi was affectionately touching the back of what she stole from Yunyi, thinking: With these scarce goods, there’s no fear of losing face when visiting her mother’s home. With her nephew’s wedding, she, as the aunt, would certainly make a grand entrance. Let’s see if her sister-in-law dares to put on airs in the future?

In the morning, she had deliberately kept an eye on the opposite house, personally seeing Vice Factory Director Huo’s wife leave for the Workers’ Hospital before returning home.

Wanting to avoid complications, she decided it was best to deliver the goods now to prevent any mistakes later.

No sooner said than done, she changed her clothes, tidied up a bit, and instructed her eldest granddaughter at home, ”Xiaoyu, there are two-in-one buns steamed with milk in the kitchen cupboard. Just make do with those pickles for lunch. I’ll be making a trip to the countryside, so watch over Xiaobao.”

Qi Xiaobao, hearing that grandma was going to the countryside, said, ”Grandma, I want to go with you.”

Granny Qi wouldn’t dare bring him, fearing that children couldn’t keep secrets, ”Be a good boy, and I’ll bring you some treats when I come back in the afternoon.”

Qi Xiaobao, upon hearing he would get something tasty, relented.

Granny Qi, with baggage over her shoulder, left the family compound.

Yunyi, who had been keeping a close watch on the Qi Family, saw everything clearly: Good, it’s not enough to just embarrass you in the family compound; it’s best if everyone knows.

However you flaunt now is however you’ll be humiliated later.

Elsewhere, Pan Huixin finally found the chance to meet the man she had been thinking about day and night, Huo Jingrui: ”Jingrui, long time no see.”

At the sight of her, Huo Jingrui frowned and replied coldly, ”What’s the matter?”

Pan Huixin was struck by his tone, ”Even if we weren’t meant to be together, we shouldn’t be strangers, right?”

Huo Jingrui found such clingy behavior most annoying, ”Men and women should have their differences, not to mention I’m a married man. If there’s nothing important, please step aside.”
