Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 65: Chapter 65 left the onlookers dumbfounded

The Branch Secretary has certainly educated the younger generation well, Yunyi thought. ”Take these. It’s to thank you for running all this way in the scorching heat. If you don’t accept them, then I can’t accept this meat either.”

The young boy looked troubled. He glanced at the candy in Yunyi’s hand, then at Yunyi’s earnest face. After a moment’s hesitation, he reached out and took the candy. ”Thank you, Chu Zhiqing.”

Once she saw he’d accepted, Yunyi smiled and took the bowl, pouring the rabbit meat stewed with green beans into an aluminum lunch box. ”Wait a second, let me wash the bowl.”

She had barely finished speaking when Yang Lidong snatched the bowl away. ”Don’t bother! My grandma said before she left that the bowl doesn’t need washing. We can’t waste the grease on it.”

At first, Yunyi didn’t quite understand. By the time she realized what he meant, Yang Lidong had already run off with the bowl.

Yunyi assumed Yang Lidong was just shy, but then she heard him call out from afar, ”Thank you for the candy! My family’s waiting for me to eat, so I need to hurry home. I’m heading out!”

Yunyi couldn’t help but laugh. It’s not that his family is waiting for him to eat; he’s probably just eager to go home for the meat!

What Yunyi hadn’t expected was that, because of these two rabbits, she had made a name for herself in the village without even making an appearance and had unknowingly fostered a lot of goodwill.

When those people returned to work in the afternoon, they were even more dedicated.

Before it even got dark, the two small courtyards had been tidied up.

Liu Chenglin had already given the wages to the Branch Secretary in advance, so he wasn’t seen at this time.

After the wages were settled, someone spoke up, ”Chu Zhiqing, you’re not a delicate girl, and you handle things so efficiently! If you need anything in the future, just say the word.”

The others chimed in, ”That’s right, that’s right! You handle things straightforwardly, young lady. You’re a good sort.”

Perhaps remembering something, they specifically added, ”That Liu Zhiqing is also good, just not very talkative.”

Just as everyone was preparing to leave, Carpenter Yin and his son arrived with a flatbed cart, delivering the furniture they had bought.

Everyone pitched in to help, and the furniture was quickly placed in the designated spots.

Yunyi grabbed two handfuls of fruit candies. ”Here, everyone, take a few candies for your children at home as a treat.”

Most of the country folk were simple and unassuming. They had only lent a hand, so the thought of receiving candy in return made them feel rather embarrassed. One by one, they quickly waved their hands in refusal. ”No need, no need! It was just lending a hand; how could we take candy for that?”

Yunyi said with a smile, ”Now that the house is tidied up, I can consider myself settled. From now on, I’ll be a member of our Songling Brigade. I’ll inevitably need to ask all the uncles, and the aunties from your families, for your guidance in the future. Please accept these.”

With that, she directly handed the candies to the Branch Secretary. ”Uncle Branch Secretary, please do me the honor of distributing these to everyone.”

Even Carpenter Yin and his son, who had come to deliver the furniture, received a few pieces. After a round of pleasantries, everyone finally departed.

Yunyi watched them go until they were out of sight, then closed the main gate and returned to the courtyard.

Looking at the newly tidied courtyard, she was in high spirits. She drew water and went back into the house to prepare the kang and hang the curtains.

「Meanwhile, in Beijing.」

Sun Ruiming and Su Aiyu, upon learning the outcome of their situation, went from blaming each other to harboring deep resentment. When they were being escorted together to depart for the Northwest, they came to blows.

As a result, Su Aiyu was sent directly to the hospital. Her life was saved, but the child in her womb was lost. Due to the severe trauma, her body was damaged. The doctor said that if she didn’t recuperate carefully, her chances of getting pregnant in the future would be slim.

Even so, she couldn’t escape the fate of a ”trip” to the Northwest.

Because of this incident, the Su Family rushed to the Sun Family’s home and smashed things up. The furniture and valuable items in the Sun Family’s house, which Yunyi had tampered with, fell apart like shoddily made goods right before everyone’s eyes.

This not only frightened the Su Family but also drove the Sun Family members to madness. Furthermore, it left the crowd of onlookers completely dumbfounded. Everyone was bewildered, What in the world just happened?
