Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 1058 - 1162: Didn’t Expect She Hid So Deeply

After Ye Wenhao went out, he didn’t return for a long time, which made Xia Dongxue restless: "Yiyi, Jingrui, you stay at home, I’ll go see what’s happening?"

After all, the argument outside was getting fiercer.

Yunyi also got curious: "Jingrui, let’s go take a look too."

By the time they got to the scene, a lot of people had already gathered outside the courtyard.

Huo Jingrui was worried Yunyi might get squeezed, so taking advantage of people’s inattention, he jumped and brought her onto the rooftop of the house in front, now they could clearly see what was happening in the courtyard below.

After listening for a while, they finally understood the cause of the incident.

The mistress of the Zhang Family, Miao Cuixiang, was a second wife, and she brought a son named Du Weixing when she married into the family.

This Du Weixing spent his days doing no good, like a street loafer, which worried his mother Miao Cuixiang sick. To keep him from being sent to the countryside, she insisted he repeat a year in junior high, barely letting him scrape into high school.

Now with six months left until high school graduation, although there was no worry of being sent to the countryside, with his grades, thinking about college was pointless.

Miao Cuixiang was fretting over her son’s future, then someone approached her.

Little daughter of the Zhang Family, Zhang Shuqin, had taken the college entrance examination this year, but hadn’t received an acceptance letter, presumed she missed out on college, and was constantly gloomy.

Miao Cuixiang had been looking for matches for her lately, intending to marry her off; unexpectedly, on the way to a matchmaking appointment today, she ran into a distant relative of the new stepmother. Upon seeing her, the relative congratulated her and even stuffed her ten yuan as a token of goodwill from an elder.

Zhang Shuqin was momentarily confused, and after hearing the explanation, found out she had been accepted into a university.

Upon learning she hadn’t received the acceptance letter, the relative took her to the education bureau, where after verification, it was confirmed she was admitted to Jingshi University and the letter had been sent to the school long ago.

With the relative’s accompaniment, the two reported the incident directly, the police reacted quickly, went to the school and soon uncovered the truth.

The school’s guidance office director’s niece, Zhang Shuqin, also took the college entrance exam this year but failed.

Perhaps the family anticipated such a result early on, and so prepared for two outcomes.

Actually, Zhang Shuqin had been targeted long ago, but she was entirely unaware.

So that family approached Miao Cuixiang early on, reaching an agreement to keep Zhang Shuqin stable in exchange for arranging an official job for her soon-to-graduate son.

Afraid of exposing the matter, Miao Cuixiang wanted to marry the stepdaughter off far away, so the matchmaker sought suitors either in military service or working out of town, the principle being, a far-off marriage.

Zhang Family’s Second Brother, Zhang Shuwan, and the stepson brought by the stepmother, Du Weixing, were now fighting each other, while relatives from Zhang Shuqin’s maternal family were also scuffling with Miao Cuixiang.

The onlookers outside whispered: "This Miao Cuixiang is really inhuman, truly the most venomous is a woman’s heart, she actually wanted to ruin Shuqin’s future for her incompetent son."

"Who wouldn’t agree, we were all fooled by her before, didn’t expect she hid so deeply."

When Zhang Family’s patriarch Zhang Changjiang returned, he saw the crowd at his doorstep: "Make way, what happened?"

When everyone saw Zhang Family’s patriarch return, they opened a path.

Zhang Changjiang looked at the chaos in the courtyard: "Stop it, all of you."

This shout was full of force, and soon those people stopped, hearing the youngest daughter’s sobbing, understanding the cause, he stared straight at Miao Cuixiang: "Did you really trade my daughter’s future for your son’s?"
