Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 848: Chapter 848: I Wouldn’t Dare Take Credit for This

Huo Jiayuan thought of something: "Mom, you’ll see, when my Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law get married, my Third Brother’s ears will surely suffer."

Jiang Jingya imagined the scene and suddenly felt a bit sympathetic for Huo Gaodi: "Well, he deserves it. Among all the girls chasing him, he chose the most pretentious one. I couldn’t say much back then, but your dad did remind him a lot, yet he couldn’t help it, he wanted her."

Speaking of which, she continued: "Fortunately, whether it’s your Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister, or your Second Brother and Third Brother, they’re all upright people. If any of them were soft-eared, your Third Brother would have turned this family into chaos long ago."

Huo Jiayuan quickly flattered: "It’s all because you manage the family well, Mom, that none of my siblings turned out crooked. Your contribution is the greatest."

Jiang Jingya isn’t one to take credit: "I wouldn’t dare take credit for that. It simply shows they inherit the good qualities of your dad and their biological mom. Even without me, they’d still be noble in character."

Huo Jiayuan didn’t expect her mom to say this: "True, both my First Mom and Second Mom were extraordinary people, so naturally, my brothers and sisters wouldn’t fall short.

Mom, you’re actually quite lucky too, to have encountered such sensible and understanding stepchildren."

Jiang Jingya laughed heartily: "What you said is true. I am indeed quite lucky."

After all, back when she married a remarried military officer, there were quite a few like her, but not many led a life as comfortable as hers.

What the two didn’t know was that their chat was overheard by Huo Shanhe and Huo Weiyu, who had come up together to find Jiang Jingya.

Father and daughter shared a glance, both with smiles on their faces.

Huo Shanhe cleared his throat lightly to alert his wife and daughter inside, then smiled and pushed the door open: "I’m back."

Jiang Jingya immediately saw Huo Weiyu behind Huo Shanhe: "You’re back from your business trip?"

Huo Weiyu grinned and lifted the bag in her hand: "I came here right after I returned."

Jiang Jingya tossed the clothes she was holding: "Our Weiyu is still the best."

As soon as she said that, Huo Shanhe and Huo Jiayuan beside her dared to be more annoyed than to speak.

Huo Jiayuan stood up directly: "Sis, where’s my gift?"

Huo Weiyu smiled at her little sister: "When have I ever forgotten yours? I’ll give it to you in a bit."

Jiang Jingya hadn’t expected Huo Weiyu to bring her perfume: "This stuff isn’t cheap, is it?"

Huo Weiyu leaned close to Jiang Jingya’s ear: "This is a foreign product, but it was repacked later. You can’t see anything from the bottle. I only got three small bottles, so don’t show off, or you’ll get caught."

Jiang Jingya thought of something: "I bet the other two small bottles are for Fourth Sister-in-law?"

Huo Weiyu put up a thumbs-up: "That’s exactly how I arranged it."

The two kept whispering, attracting frequent glances from Huo Shanhe and Huo Jiayuan.

While they were chatting upstairs, they heard some noise from downstairs.

Jiang Jingya glanced toward the door: "Jiayuan, go down and see who’s back?"

Huo Jiayuan immediately pulled her dad along: "Come on, Dad, you’re unnecessary here, come downstairs with me."

Huo Shanhe was amused by his youngest daughter’s words: "Are you jealous?"

Huo Jiayuan pouted: "If I were jealous of this, I’d have drowned in vinegar long ago."

Father and daughter joked as they went downstairs.

Once downstairs, they saw the Second Brother and Third Brother’s families had all come with their families.

Huo Shanhe reached out and picked up the nearest Huo Xiaoxi: "Did you miss Grandpa?"
