Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 738: Chapter 738: Didn’t You Bring This Upon Yourself

Huo Shanhe came over to Jiang Jingya after hearing that their son and daughter-in-law had left: "Let’s not get angry with them, it’s not worth it."

He hugged her into his arms and then asked, "Why did you pinch me earlier?"

Jiang Jingya replied irritably, "If I didn’t pinch you, you would have started swearing. You’re the father-in-law reprimanding the daughter-in-law; if that gets out, who knows how exaggerated the story will become.

Besides, I never care about what they say, because I have a clear conscience, and Gaodi and his brothers know the truth. I never took it seriously. If I didn’t hold you back, with your temper, things would have gotten out of control."

Huo Shanhe somewhat disagreed, "If you keep ignoring her once or twice, won’t she think you’re easy to bully?"

Jiang Jingya laughed at his complaint: "If she thinks I’m easy to bully, she’s gravely mistaken. I’m just giving face to Gaodi, after all, I should give Gaodi some room to maneuver."

Huo Shanhe was initially unhappy with their son’s performance, but after listening to his wife, he understood. After all, they are a unit, and it’s not good to lose too much face in public. As the old saying goes, oh right, ’Teach your child in public, but your wife in private.’

Some things are better said in private: "Jingya, thank you, you’ve worked hard all these years."

Jiang Jingya couldn’t help but laugh at Huo Shanhe’s words: "Let me see if you’re sincerely grateful or just flattering."

Huo Shanhe leaned his big head toward Jiang Jingya: "Heaven as my witness, I sincerely want to thank you. All these years, not only I but they have also seen your contributions.

Back then, you were a young and beautiful woman, and regardless of the reason, you agreed to marry me, an old man on his third marriage. I swore in my heart to treat you well, and even if you have this or that little flaw, I will strive to tolerate and accommodate you.

But you never made me worry in the slightest. Not only did you get along well with all four of them, but you also gave me another son and daughter, so I sincerely thank you. Maybe it’s because I accumulated great virtue in a past life that I met you.

So I really can’t tolerate anyone disrespecting you, including daughters-in-law and sons-in-law."

Jiang Jingya didn’t expect the man to say such heartfelt words: "Well said, keep it up."

Huo Shanhe looked at the smile on his wife’s lips and lovingly rubbed her cheek: "Okay, I’ll keep working on it."

After resting for a while and regaining some strength, Jiang Jingya pushed Huo Shanhe away: "I’ll start organizing things. Since I have some time over the next few days, I’ll see what’s missing and get it all ready. I won’t have time in a few days."

Huo Shanhe was long used to her temperament: "Alright, I’ll help you count."

As Jiang Jingya tidied up, she said, "I wonder when our son will be able to return to Beijing. If he comes back, then Yunyi can also come back soon, and we can see each other more often then."

Huo Shanhe glanced at Jiang Jingya: "You like Yunyi that much?"

Jiang Jingya paused her actions and raised an eyebrow: "Yes, why, are you dissatisfied?"

Huo Shanhe didn’t dare to take the bait: "Don’t wrong me, if the future daughter-in-law hears this, she’ll have a bad opinion of me."

Jiang Jingya rolled her eyes at him: "You brought this on yourself."

After speaking, she looked at the pile of things and said, "I don’t know when they’ll be back. If we don’t bring these things over, it feels like Yunyi is being wronged. But if we do, it’ll be a hassle when they return to Beijing."

Huo Shanhe chimed in: "At that time, we can arrange for shipping. I’ll have someone meet them, so they won’t be tired, don’t worry."
