Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 558: Chapter 558: Stirring Up Trouble

Seeing someone come in, Zhang Dali stopped talking, but his gaze at Yunyi became even more brazen.

Yunyi’s face turned cold immediately, and after giving some instructions, she turned and left the ward.

Zhang’s mother watched Yunyi walk away: ”Son, this won’t do. Like Qu Xiaohong, just having a pretty face. For a life partner, you need someone down-to-earth.”

Zhang Dali didn’t argue, thinking what his mom said was right. Marry someone practical to live a stable life, and once he retrieves the money from the mountains, he could have any woman he wants.

Imagining such good things, he even felt that his body wasn’t hurting as much as before.

Huo Family in Beijing

Duan Zhuangyu, after finding out that Old Four brought his partner home without notifying them, directly went to her sister-in-law Gui Hongmei: ”Sister-in-law, isn’t this bullying? Why is it that the Second Wife couple and the two aunts are present, but our two families didn’t get informed?”

Gui Hongmei’s face didn’t look good either: ”Alright, don’t complain to me, tonight we’ll go back to the main house together and see what they say?”

Gui Hongmei and Jiang Jingya have been openly and secretly battling for years, feeling they’ve finally seized on Jiang Jingya’s weakness as the stepmother. Naturally, she didn’t want to miss this opportunity. Anyway, if anything goes wrong, it’s the third family’s problem, not hers.

The two of them quickly reached an agreement.

When Jiang Jingya got home, Huo Shanhe was already there: ”Why are you back so early today?”

Seeing her carrying so many bags, Huo Shanhe quickly went up to take the stuff from her: ”After the meeting, I didn’t return to the Military Region, just came straight home. Why did you buy so many things?”

Jiang Jingya felt happy thinking about the things she had bought: ”It’s the holiday season, so there’s more supply than usual. I picked some things that can’t be found in Ji Province and bought a bit more, to send to our daughter-in-law later.”

Seeing her so excited, Huo Shanhe decided not to rain on her parade, not even considering what day it was today. Even if they sent it out, it wouldn’t arrive by New Year’s.

Jiang Jingya threw the stuff on the sofa: ”I’m exhausted.”

Thinking about her son’s upcoming wedding next year: ”I really wish it was next New Year already, so I could go shopping with my daughter-in-law.”

Huo Shanhe couldn’t help but laugh: ”Is there any mother-in-law like you?”

Jiang Jingya shot him a glare: ”What do you know? I have only one daughter-in-law, and I won’t be like others, making trouble for her everywhere. Besides, with Yunyi’s personality, I’m perfectly satisfied.

I’ve become good friends with Weiyu, so naturally, I can become good sisters with my daughter-in-law. I definitely won’t be a wicked mother-in-law.”

Huo Shanhe saw his wife speaking animatedly, feeling spoiled he said: ”As long as you’re happy.”

But just as he finished speaking, he noticed his eldest and third daughters-in-law walking in.

As soon as the third daughter-in-law entered, she started causing trouble: ”Dad, Aunt Jiang, why didn’t you inform us when Old Four brought his partner over?”

Jiang Jingya wasn’t one to tolerate her nonsense: ”Jingrui’s fiancée came to Beijing for business, and out of courtesy, decided last minute to visit us. So what if we didn’t inform you?”

Duan Zhuangyu glanced at her silent sister-in-law, signaling her to speak.

But how could Gui Hongmei possibly step in? She focused on the items on the sofa and walked over, saying, ”Aunt Jiang went shopping today?”

Jiang Jingya gave a nonchalant ’hmm’, considering it an answer.

Then she stared straight at the third daughter-in-law, waiting for her next move.

Duan Zhuangyu didn’t restrain herself, even with her father-in-law present: ”During our first visits, the whole family was present. But Old Four’s partner visits unannounced, I’m puzzled. Is Aunt Jiang dissatisfied with her or are we unworthy to meet her?”
