Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 1002 - 1006: Did I Become the Hot Commodity?

At Du Commander’s house, Du’s wife, Ge Yinhua, was staring coldly at her mother-in-law: ”Mom, you’re putting my man’s future at risk for the sake of your daughter, aren’t you?”

Mrs. Du said somewhat awkwardly, ”How was I supposed to know that vixen would blow things up like this?”

Ge Yinhua was even more infuriated now: ”Who exactly wants to blow things up? If it weren’t for your unnecessary actions, would those leaders have come over? If they didn’t come, would things have escalated to this point?

Don’t think I can’t see through your schemes. I’ve told you before, Deputy Regimental Commander Huo is not interested in Meimei, but you wouldn’t listen. You keep coming over to gather information. If I’m not mistaken, your daughter would be after you by now, right?”

Mrs. Du, caught out by her daughter-in-law, simply dropped the pretense: ”Who am I doing this for? I want Meimei to marry well, isn’t it for your man? Now that something’s happened, you’re blaming me.”

Ge Yinhua found it pointless to reason with her mother-in-law any further: ”Now that it’s come to this, let’s just do as the military requires. Stop thinking about nonsensical things. If you want Meimei to marry a soldier, then find someone of the right match.”

Mrs. Du rolled her eyes: ”Our Meimei is not bad-looking. In the village, she’s a beauty. She should naturally find a good match, otherwise how can she help Dahai?”

Ge Yinhua was truly worn out by her mother-in-law’s words, which weren’t incorrect, but those people had to think well of your daughter first. Always thinking of marrying up, aren’t you afraid your daughter might end up an old maid? ”Mom, stop using helping Dahai as an excuse. If anything goes wrong for Meimei in the future, she won’t resent Dahai.”

This time, Mrs. Du didn’t argue: ”By the way, you need to help me with the cleaning in the Second District. It’s so cruel of them to make an old woman like me clean such a large area, they’re really trying to work me to death.”

”Mom, when the notice was given, you heard it too. The leadership from the Women’s Federation specifically said that no family members are allowed to help, otherwise the punishment will be extended.”

”This is really unbearable. It’s all because of that vixen, that wretched thing, really ruining this old woman.”

Ge Yinhua heard her ranting again: ”Mom, aren’t you embarrassed enough? Do you want the Women’s Federation to take you away for re-education?”

Mrs. Du originally wanted to vent her frustration, but hearing her daughter-in-law’s words, she quickly stopped: ”Now you’re saying I can’t even talk?”

Just as Yunyi couldn’t wait any longer and wanted to call her master to find someone to ask for specifics, Jiang Jingya’s call came in: ”Yiyi, they’ve come, they’re all here.”

”Mom, take it slowly, what’s all here, what do you mean?”

”The schools—no, the leaders, it’s the school’s leaders. Oh, it’s the admissions leaders from the schools. Not just from the Beijing Medical College you applied to, but also from Qing University, Beijing University, and Renmin University, they’re all here.”

”Mom, what’s going on?”

She asked this, but in her heart, she was thinking: could it be they’re here for me? Have I become the hot commodity?

Can it really be?

Jiang Jingya still hadn’t calmed down: ”Yiyi, they said they want to go to the military to find you. Dad asked me to give you a heads up, so you’re prepared.”

Looks like it really was as she imagined.

Jiang Jingya didn’t hear her daughter-in-law’s response: ”Yiyi, are you listening?”

Yunyi snapped back to reality when she heard her mother-in-law’s question: ”Mom, I’m listening. They’re coming to the military now?”
