Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 487: Chapter 487 Why spend this unjustified money?

When Old Master Hua heard this, he came over, leaning on his cane. ”Quickly, come in! When did you get back?”

Xi Qunying stepped aside. ”Dad, slow down. The Chu girl isn’t going anywhere.”

Upon entering the courtyard, Yunyi saw the old master heading her way. ”Grandpa Hua, please don’t trouble yourself. I’ll come over to you.”

Old Master Hua was beaming. ”You’re a considerate girl, still remembering to visit an old man like me.”

Yunyi walked towards the old master. ”Why don’t you say that perhaps I’m only visiting because I need something?”

Old Master Hua observed the young girl’s more cheerful disposition and nodded. ”Good. It seems going to the countryside has indeed tempered you. Your personality is much livelier than before.”

Noticing she was still carrying something, he asked, ”You silly girl, just your visit is enough. Why bring presents?”

Xi Qunying, who had followed, quickly took a bag from Yunyi’s hands. ”Exactly! We don’t lack anything at home. Why spend money needlessly?”

Yunyi smiled as they walked towards the house. ”These fruits are quite delicious, so I specifically brought them for you all to try.”

Chatting and laughing, they entered the house. Xi Qunying, without standing on ceremony, took several apples to the kitchen. She washed and sliced them, then brought them out. ”Dad, please try these. They’re from the Chu girl, a token of her filial piety.”

While speaking, she also placed a plate in front of Yunyi. ”Let’s eat together.”

The old master’s teeth weren’t very good, and he usually didn’t care much for such things. However, he politely picked up a piece and took a small bite. To his surprise, it was just as Yunyi had said.

His eyes instantly lit with delight. ”Mm, not bad! These taste even better than the specially supplied apples.”

Products from the space are naturally premium; their taste is, of course, exceptional, Yunyi thought.

”If you like them, Grandpa Hua, please eat more. Eating plenty of fruit is good for your health,” she said.

The old master chuckled and agreed, eating several more pieces before stopping. ”Chu girl, I haven’t asked yet, what brings you back?”

Yunyi didn’t hide anything. ”My grandfather’s biological younger brother has been found. I’ve returned to formally acknowledge our kinship.”

This was news to Old Master Hua. ”What? When did this happen?”

Xi Qunying handed Yunyi a cup of water. ”Dad, keep your voice down.”

Yunyi accepted the cup with a faint smile. ”I only received the news a few days ago, so I requested leave from the Agricultural Reclamation Group to hurry back.”

Old Master Hua frowned slightly. ”Are you certain he’s your grandfather’s biological brother?”

Yunyi nodded. ”He bears a resemblance to my grandfather, and he also has a family photograph taken before they were separated. Most importantly, his account matches what my grandfather told me before.”

Hearing Yunyi’s words, Old Master Hua sighed, ”If your grandfather were still alive, he would be overjoyed. His greatest wish in life was to find his lost brother. It’s truly the work of fate.”

He grew somber, reflecting that if it hadn’t been for the Hua Family’s involvement, Old Master Chu wouldn’t have met with misfortune.

Seeing her father-in-law like this, Xi Qunying worriedly suggested, ”Dad, how about we invite Uncle Chu and his family for a meal? It would be a way to extend our hospitality as hosts.”

Hearing his daughter-in-law’s suggestion, Old Master Hua nodded emphatically. ”You’re right. Call your eldest brother and have him arrange it.”

Yunyi had initially wanted to refuse. But considering her own position, she decided against it. After all, Second Granduncle Chu is the true Chu family member. As for whether they could foster a good relationship with the Hua Family in the future, that will depend on their own destiny.

To ease her father-in-law’s mind, Xi Qunying immediately called her eldest brother-in-law. ”Big Brother, it’s Qunying...”

Hua Wanqing naturally had no objections, and so the matter was settled.
