Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 976 - 980: Your In-Laws Treat You So Well

At first, he was shy about reaching for the sweet and sour pork and the pickled fish, but Jiang Jingya saw him only picking the dishes in front of him: ”Xiaochen, we’re all family here, don’t be shy.”

Once he reached out with his chopsticks and tried a bite of pickled fish, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Previously, when the commander bragged, he thought the old commander was exaggerating a bit, but now it seems, it was not just boasting.

After dinner, Jiang Jingya originally wanted to help Yunyi clean up the dishes, but was refused by Yunyi: ”Dad, Mom, you still have work in the afternoon, don’t get delayed here, go back early and get some rest.”

She really didn’t dare let her mother-in-law help, because her mother-in-law not only had no talent for cooking, she was truly incompatible with the kitchen. If she helped wash dishes, she feared the dishes wouldn’t survive.

Jiang Jingya was still a bit reluctant: ”Yiyi, Jingrui is on a mission anyway, why don’t you come back to the city with us?”

Previously Yunyi did have this idea, but now she has to stay and observe Yu Liqin: ”Mom, I have some things here, I can’t leave for a moment. If I finish my business in a few days and Jingrui hasn’t come back, I’ll go to the compound to stay with you.”

Jiang Jingya felt comforted hearing what her daughter-in-law said: ”Okay, okay, I’ll be waiting for you.”

Huo Shanhe looked at his wife’s joyous expression, thinking to himself: Your son has gone on a mission, aren’t you afraid he’ll be upset knowing you act this way?

Xiaochen carried the pickles Yunyi brought for Jiang Jingya onto the car ahead of time. Watching the scene of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law reluctant to part, he was a bit bewildered: Can the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law be like this?

In their village, it’s already considered good if the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along peacefully. Otherwise, it’s either the mother-in-law or the daughter-in-law who is strong-willed, or neither gives way to the other, with small quarrels every three days and big ones every five.

Just after sending off the in-laws, he saw Wan Ruhua approaching from afar: ”Sister-in-law, where have you been?”

Wan Ruhua glanced behind Yunyi: ”Your guests left?”

Yunyi smiled and explained: ”They weren’t guests; they were my in-laws. Knowing Jingrui went on a mission, they came to see me and delivered some things.”

Taking out some things from space, it provided a perfect excuse.

Wan Ruhua quickly approached Yunyi, full of smiles: ”Your in-laws are really good to you, even came specially to see you.”

To avoid trouble, her father-in-law wore casual clothes when he came over, and the car he drove wasn’t his official vehicle: ”Yes, they are quite good to me, afraid I’m not accustomed, they sent quite a few things.”

”By the way, sister-in-law, where have you been?”

”Camp Commander Feng’s wife was discharged and returned home, I went over to check.”

Hearing this, Yunyi couldn’t help but think of Zhao Xue and asked: ”How is the situation?”

Wan Ruhua sighed: ”Zhao Xue originally wanted to stay one or two more days for observation, but her mother-in-law was distressed by the expense, so wouldn’t agree no matter what.”

Yunyi thought of the situation that day: ”How did Zhao Xue end up falling that day?”

Wan Ruhua, upon hearing the question, looked around: ”I heard from Sister-in-law Ma of Commander Cao’s fourth regiment that that day Zhao Xue wanted to steam an egg custard to eat, but Camp Commander Feng’s mother insisted on making egg drop soup.

Zhao Xue was a bit upset and came out of the kitchen to go back to her room, but didn’t know why she returned to the kitchen, only to hear Camp Commander Feng’s mom scolding her for being pretentious, selfish, and such.

She got angry, turned around and went back to her room, probably walked too quickly and didn’t notice the small stool by her feet and tripped over.”
