Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant novel Chapter 216

Chapter 216: Chapter 216: He really is a brown-noser

Back then, Auntie Jiang and Du Shujian’s father had their issues, which all the siblings more or less knew about.

That’s why they didn’t dare let out a whisper about their younger sister and the Du family boy’s situation, for fear of angering Auntie Jiang and causing unrest at home once again.

But this matter couldn’t be dragged on any longer. Du Shujian was a man; even if a few more years passed, he wouldn’t worry about finding a bride. However, if their younger sister delayed any longer, it wouldn’t be good for her.

At this moment, a noise came from the front door. "We’re back."

Huo Jiayuan composed herself. "Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law."

Second Brother Huo Qianjin, who was leading the way, was attentive. "Little Sister, what’s wrong with your eyes?"

Huo Jiayuan rubbed her eyes. "It’s nothing. I’ve been busy these days, and my eyes are a bit uncomfortable from rubbing them."

Considering Huo Jiayuan’s job, they believed her. However, Second Brother Huo Qianjin still nagged, "Don’t always try to be so strong in the future."

Huo Jiayuan knew her second brother cared about her. "Mm, I got it."

Third Brother Huo Gaodi then lightly tapped his little sister’s head. "You agree so readily, but how many times have you actually followed through?"

Huo Jiayuan covered the sore spot on her head and said to Duan Zhuangyu, who was walking in, "Third Sister-in-law, please control my third brother."

Duan Zhuangyu waved her hand. "I can’t intervene in matters between you siblings."

Gao Ruyi glanced at Duan Zhuangyu, who had already seated herself on the sofa, and thought, This sister-in-law is certainly something, always bickering with her own husband. Her younger sister-in-law even gave her an easy way out, but she’s still putting on such airs.

Huo Jiayuan hadn’t expected it. Ever since the day her third brother casually told his wife, "Little Sister’s affairs are none of your concern," her third sister-in-law had taken it to heart and wouldn’t let it go. After that, Huo Jiayuan’s attempts to chat with her were met with such indifference that it made her wonder if there was something wrong with her sister-in-law’s mind.

Indeed, the relationship between a husband’s sister and his wife was a tricky one to navigate.

Fortunately, her eldest sister-in-law was outspoken but straightforward, and her second sister-in-law was steady and considerate. It was only her third sister-in-law who was always nit-picking.

Huo Shanhe was preoccupied today. When he arrived home right on time, only his eldest daughter’s family had not yet arrived.

Huo Jiayuan ran over. "Dad, happy birthday! I had someone bring back some seafood for you; make sure you eat plenty tonight."
