Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant novel Chapter 88

Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Falling into Someone’s Scheme

In Songling Village, team leader Xu Wenchang had just returned home from the brigade headquarters when he saw his wife, Ma Jiuxiang, enter the courtyard with a dark expression. "What’s the matter with you?"

Ma Jiuxiang threw the vegetables she was holding onto the stone table in the courtyard. "That courtyard of Educated Youth Jiao and Educated Youth Yan has been rented out by the village! Do you know about this?"

Team leader Xu Wenchang nodded. "I just went to the brigade headquarters. They told me about it."

Ma Jiuxiang raised her eyebrows. "So, what are we going to do now?"

Team leader Xu Wenchang took out a dry tobacco pipe from his pocket, filled it with tobacco, lit it, and took a leisurely puff. "Renovating that house... they spent twenty yuan just on materials, and they also paid the helpers. Asking them to move out now might not be possible."

Ma Jiuxiang flared up. "Then how do we explain this to the in-laws? And what do we say to Xingwang when he comes back?"

Hearing his wife’s words, team leader Xu Wenchang’s brows knitted tightly as well. "Who knew things would turn out to be such a coincidence."

Ma Jiuxiang didn’t see it that way. "I think Yang Gengtian is deliberately opposing us! He knows full well our Xingwang has found someone, and the in-laws also made it clear they must have a courtyard of their own. He just wants to make our family a laughingstock!"

Xu Wenchang’s already foul mood worsened, as if a storm was brewing. "Enough! Can’t you say a little less? If people from the village heard this, what would they think of me as the team leader?"

The Xu Family was originally large. Xu Wenchang was the Second Brother. Previously, their fifth brother required long-term medication. Later, the entire family pooled their resources to secure a job for the seventh brother, Xu Wenhua, at the county shoe factory. This left them living very tightly.

When the family split two years ago, their debts had just barely been paid off. All the brothers felt that the seventh brother, Xu Wenhua, now capable, wanted to strike out on his own for a better life. This created a very awkward situation at the time.
