Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 704: Chapter 704: Could Gong Fangyue Be a Jinx?

She now regrets it immensely; she shouldn’t have arranged for her son to marry Gong Fangyue early just for the sake of insurance.

Now with this daughter-in-law, she has no choice but to accept her.

How did things end up this way? She raised her hand to rub her temples.

Thinking about today’s events again, it’s likely that it won’t be long before it spreads all over town. Who knows how many people are laughing at her?

The first person she thought of was Jiang Jingya. Back then, she used tricks to snatch Du Chuanqin, thinking she could trample her underfoot, but never expected Jiang Jingya to turn around and marry a military commander. She often mocked her for becoming a stepmother.

She just wanted to see Jiang Jingya’s misfortune.

But she didn’t expect that Huo Shanhe, a rough guy, would treat her like a treasure. Even those stepchildren treated her well, decade after decade.

Even now, when those stepchildren have families of their own, their attitude towards her is still respectful. Even if the daughters-in-law have any complaints, they dare not voice it in front of her. After all, Huo Shanhe is protective. If anyone makes Jiang Jingya uncomfortable, he would make that person uncomfortable.

Sometimes she wondered, if she hadn’t done that back then and had married someone else, what would her life be like?

A sudden ringing of a bicycle interrupted her thoughts: ”Move, move, get out of the way.”

Zhang Xiaolu was startled by the shouting, and by the time she reacted, she was already lying flat on her back on the ground, dizzy and seeing stars, with her whole body in pain.

After a long while, someone rushed over, panting: ”Aunt, are you okay?”

Zhang Xiaolu, already very annoyed, even cursed directly at hearing this: ”I’m like this, and you’re asking me if I’m okay. Are you blind?”

The young man wasn’t good-tempered either: ”You suddenly came out of the alley, and you blame me. You’re really ungrateful. Fine, since your mouth is not virtuous, then just lie here. I’m not serving you anymore.”

After he finished speaking, he turned around and went back the way he came from.

It wasn’t entirely the young man’s fault. Zhang Xiaolu, lost in thought, wasn’t paying attention to her feet and didn’t know what she stepped on. It tripped her, causing her to jump several steps forward, right to the center of the intersection.

The young man was coming from a downhill road, and most people, when coming out of the alley, would check if any vehicles were coming downhill. Who knew this person would not only ignore the traffic but also jump right to the middle of the road? Despite shouting to move, she stupidly didn’t react.

Out of humanitarian concern, he came over to check, and yet was cursed. What rotten luck.

Zhang Xiaolu didn’t expect the young man to leave immediately after speaking, and she cursed angrily: ”If you dare to run off, I’ll make sure you rot in jail.”

As she said this, she started complaining with ”Ouch, ouch”. Chen Jialiang was a little rascal and wasn’t intimidated. He retrieved his bicycle, which had fallen to the side, swung his long leg over, and with a push of his foot, left with a ”Do whatever you want.”

Then he rode off into the distance.

Zhang Xiaolu was left alone, cursing to the sky, angrily pounding the ground. The pain in her hands kept her from being too rash.

At this time, the students were still in class, and those working hadn’t finished their shifts. The intersection was deserted, and Zhang Xiaolu couldn’t help but think: Could it be that Gong Fangyue is a jinx?

The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Otherwise, why would things start going wrong the moment he married her?

The more she thought about it, the more regretful she became. She couldn’t help thinking that if something really happened to the Gong Family, her son should divorce her early so as not to get dragged down.
