Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 511: Chapter 511 Are You Waiting for Me

Chu Xiaojue was about to say something when Jiang Yuli pulled her over. "What are you dawdling for? If we’re going to divide the family, then it needs to be done clearly and openly. Besides, your grandfather was the one who wanted us to see the account book."

Under her mother’s murderous gaze, Chu Xiaojue had no choice but to take the account book. The accounts were recorded in great detail; Grandfather indeed hadn’t tampered with it.

Seeing her put down the account book, Chu Yucheng felt utterly disappointed in the Second House. Although he had been the one to suggest checking the accounts, the fact that his second daughter-in-law insisted on it showed they didn’t trust him.

His second son was no different, not even uttering a word to stop it. Chu Yucheng continued, "Since the accounts are correct, divide the kitchen utensils per person. That’s how it will be. Tomorrow, when your younger sister and brother-in-law come over, have them witness and sign the family division agreement."

Jiang Yuli wanted to argue that this division was unfair. If her father-in-law was going to live with the main house, why should he also get a share of the Money Coupons?

But before she could voice her argument, she was pulled back by her husband. "Enough. Are you satisfied now?"

After speaking, he took their share and went back into their room.

Jiang Yuli was fuming. "What exactly do you mean by that? So, you’re all good people, and I’m the only villain here?"

Regardless of what everyone was thinking, the family was divided.

Yunyi and the Hua Family were, of course, unaware of what had happened at the Chu residence.

But after Old Master Hua returned home, he said, "From now on, with this Chu family household, just maintain formal contact during holidays."

The Hua brothers nodded. "Understood."

Xi Qunying then added, "It’s a good thing Yunyi didn’t let them move in. With the temperament of the Second Daughter-in-law of the Chu Family, if she had been allowed to move in, getting her to leave wouldn’t have been so easy, would it?"

Hua Wanqing poured a cup of tea for Old Master Hua. "Reconnecting with this family... for Yunyi, is it a good thing or a bad thing?"

Old Master Hua took the teacup. "Old Master Chu’s younger brother is no fool. I think the people from the Chu Family’s main house are quite good. At least they are paternal relatives. Yunyi is a thoughtful person. Even if something happens, she still has us and the Gu Family to protect her."

Meanwhile, Yunyi, the subject of their discussion, had already been driven home by the Hua Family’s driver.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Wei Hongyan emerged from Wei Hongjun’s room. "Yunyi, you’re back?"

Yunyi hadn’t expected Wei Hongyan to still be here so late. "Were you waiting for me?" she asked.

Wei Hongyan stepped forward and took her arm. "Indeed I was! I have to work during the day, you’re busy with dinners in the evenings, and you’re leaving the day after tomorrow. So, I could only wait for you here."

Yunyi was amused by her aggrieved expression. "Oh, look at you, so put-upon."

Saying this, she opened the door to her room. "Come in."

However, Wei Hongyan didn’t follow her. Instead, she trotted towards the kitchen. "You go in first. I’ll get you a bowl of sweet fermented rice dumplings. It’s my mom’s specialty. Think of it as a late-night snack for you."

A moment later, Wei Hongyan returned with a small bowl. "Look! My mom made this specially for you. Hurry and try some."

Yunyi smiled as she accepted it. "Have a seat. I didn’t expect Auntie Wei to remember I liked this."

Wei Hongyan said, clearly fishing for praise, "It was my suggestion!"

Yunyi scooped a small spoonful into her mouth. "These dumplings have such a wonderful chewy texture! Where did the Guihua come from?"

Wei Hongyan laughed. "Ding Dawei brought it over a few days ago. His second paternal aunt married someone from the south and brought a lot back with her when she visited. His mom portioned out a small bottle and had him deliver it to us."

Noticing the shy glint in Wei Hongyan’s eyes, Yunyi teased, "It looks like your happy occasion is near! I’m afraid I won’t be able to make it back for the wedding, so it seems I’ll have to prepare your wedding gift in advance."
