Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 509: Chapter 509 What qualifications do you have to bring up work with others?

After the excitement died down, everyone finally settled back into their seats.

Yunyi’s photo had at last made its way back into Huo Jingrui’s hands.

When she saw her son carefully tuck the photo back into his jacket pocket, Jiang Jingya said, "Tomorrow morning, I’ll personally go to the market to buy groceries and have Auntie Zhang prepare a few of her signature dishes."

Then she added gloomily, "Ah, it’s a pity I have no talent for cooking. Otherwise, I would definitely make a few dishes myself to entertain."

She had just finished speaking when several voices spoke up in unison, "Mom, you really dare to say that! When it comes to cooking, you don’t just lack talent—it’s downright disastrous."

"Mom, what did you say? Is Yunyi coming over to our house?"

"Mom, Yunyi is in Beijing?"

Upon hearing their questions, Jiang Jingya first retorted to her daughter, "If you don’t speak, no one will think you’re mute."

After her retort, she then looked toward Huo Weiyu and Gao Ruyi. "Yes, that young lady is back in Beijing for some matters and will visit our home tomorrow evening. I haven’t had the chance to tell you yet."

Gao Ruyi finally reacted, "Jiayuan, did you also know that Yunyi is coming to our home?"

Huo Jiayuan smiled awkwardly. "I just found out as well. I was about to tell you all over dinner at the restaurant, but who would have thought you’d all rush back here?"

After hearing her sister-in-law’s explanation, Gao Ruyi turned to her mother-in-law. "Mom, look, since I now know about Yunyi’s visit tomorrow night, our whole family will come back too. You won’t object, will you?"

Jiang Jingya was amused by her second daughter-in-law’s cautious expression and said with a laugh, "If you want to come back, then come back. I’d be overjoyed; why would I be upset?"

She had originally planned to call the whole family back. However, her son had said that since this visit was arranged hastily and everyone was busy, there was no need to make a big deal and call them all back this time.

Actually, it was Yunyi’s idea. If Jingrui hadn’t told the family in advance, she wouldn’t have planned to visit the Huo family at all this time.

However, since the family now knew, and Yunyi and Jingrui were heading towards marriage, not paying a visit would indeed be impolite.

Jiang Jingya looked at her son, and Huo Jingrui said, "Everyone is quite busy, and we decided on this visit so suddenly. I heard my Third Sister-in-law has been on a business trip these past few days, so let’s not trouble her this time."

This was Yi’er’s first visit, and he didn’t want her to be unhappy about anything. After all, his Third Sister-in-law sometimes truly failed to consider the circumstances. Even though he knew she had no chance against Yi’er and couldn’t bully her, he didn’t want her to spoil the atmosphere, especially since this was Yi’er’s first visit to their home as a guest.

Seeing her son insist, Jiang Jingya said, "Alright then, we’ll let things take their natural course and won’t specially notify anyone."

Huo Weiyu, who also couldn’t stand her third sister-in-law, still tried to smooth things over for her younger brother, Jingrui, saying, "Jingrui is so considerate, always thinking of the family."

Hearing this, Jiang Jingya chimed in, "They are on a tight schedule this time. It wouldn’t be right to ask everyone to change their work plans at the last minute. Work is more important."

Gao Ruyi’s mouth twitched. No wonder her eldest sister-in-law got along so well with their mother-in-law. Just look at how perfectly she phrased that!

「Meanwhile.」

Jiang Yuli, upon returning home, said unhappily, "Dad, it was such a good opportunity! Even if you didn’t want me to mention the house to Yunyi, why couldn’t I even ask the Hua Family about a job?"

Chu Yucheng said with a grim face, "They were merely being hospitable out of respect for your uncle. What right do we have to ask them about jobs?"

Jiang Yuli retorted, "I already looked into it! Our uncle’s trouble is connected to the Hua Family. Why couldn’t I mention it?"

Seeing his second daughter-in-law’s unyielding persistence, Chu Yucheng finally exploded with anger. "Fine! We’ll split the family assets, right now!"
