Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 1073 - 1077: Why Should We?

Mrs. Zheng saw her son’s happiness, and a smile appeared on her face as well. She wasn’t an evil mother-in-law; she disagreed before only because she was thinking of her son’s future. Now that both of them have been admitted back in Beijing, how could she not agree?

At this moment, an abrupt voice chimed in: "Looks like the younger brother’s good news is near, but with the house being so small, where will they live if they get married?"

Mrs. Zheng was aware of the tight living space at home but couldn’t stand the eldest daughter-in-law’s behavior of wanting to meddle in everything: "You don’t need to worry about this. Your dad and I will figure it out. At worst, they’ll move out and rent a place."

The Eldest Sister-in-law Zheng was opposed to the idea of renting: "Xuewen has to attend school. If they rent a place, won’t the family have to pay for it? That would be a waste of money."

Mrs. Zheng was also getting annoyed: "Then you guys give up the house."

"Why should we?"

"Because you have a unit-assigned house, and because Zheng Xuewu is the eldest in this family, he should yield to his younger siblings."

The Zheng Family heard the commotion and gathered around.

The Eldest Son of Zheng Family didn’t catch the earlier conversation, but he heard the last few words from his mom: "Mom, it’s the New Year, why bother with this?"

Mrs. Zheng was upset with her eldest son: "Why don’t you ask what your wife said earlier?"

Already angry with the sister-in-law, at this moment, the elder brother, not knowing the full story, defended his wife: "Sister-in-law, you’re something else. Sister-in-law is terrified I’ll take advantage of the family’s resources, always finding ways to hinder my marriage. Now seeing you like this, it’s probably you two planning it together, huh?"

The Eldest Son of Zheng Family didn’t expect his younger brother to be involved, so he cleared his throat: "You know your sister-in-law’s temper. Don’t take it to heart. As for your marriage, we certainly have no objections."

The Eldest Sister-in-law Zheng was directly angered by her man’s words: "What do you mean, you have no objections? Can’t they wait for a few more years, until after they graduate, to get married?"

Mrs. Zheng was genuinely angry now: "Jiang Peiling, the things you say as an elder sister-in-law, are those even human words?"

The Eldest Son of Zheng Family saw his mother was truly angry and quickly tugged at his wife: "Say less, look how you’re angering mom."

"What did I say wrong? After graduating from college and getting a job, the unit will definitely assign a house. This way, we don’t all have to squeeze together, nor will we need to spend more on renting a place. Isn’t this the best solution?"

Mrs. Zheng retorted directly: "You really dare to say that. Why don’t you say you and Xuewu separate first and only reunite when you have a house?"

The Zheng Family was stunned now. This had truly enraged Mrs. Zheng to the point where she even suggested they separate.

The Eldest Daughter-in-law Zheng looked incredulous: "Mom, how can you say such a thing? I’m pregnant with a Zheng family grandson in my belly!"

"Don’t use the baby in your womb to threaten me. As a sister-in-law, you dare to say anything. Why should I be afraid as a mother-in-law?"

It was Mr. Zheng who couldn’t bear to see it anymore: "Enough, Xuewen’s matters are up to your mother and me. The rest of you don’t interfere."

Mrs. Zheng was quite infuriated with the eldest daughter-in-law: "What nonsense, an elder sister-in-law having the audacity to meddle in the younger brother-in-law’s marriage. The Jiang Family really raised you well. What’s even more infuriating is that our clueless son is siding with his wife."

"Enough, during the New Year, it’s not worth getting angry. Since we’re back in Beijing, let’s not delay the marriage plans. It’s best to settle it as soon as possible."

He also feared delaying it longer would cause changes, and then the son would blame them: "If it really won’t work, let Ling Lan move back to her parents’ room, and Xue Yan can squeeze in with us, leaving that room for Xuewen as a wedding room."

"Do you even realize that if we really did that, the eldest family would surely raise hell?"
