Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant novel Chapter 91

Chapter 91: Chapter 91 This is a good idea

Even without Feng Simei spreading the news, word that Yunyi had brought back a large package was already causing quite a stir in the village.

Widow Qiu, who lived in the alley, had just served sweet potato leaf porridge when her youngest son started complaining, "Mom, can’t we have something decent to eat for once?"

Widow Qiu slammed her chopsticks on the table. "You think I don’t want to eat solid food? In a few more days, we might not even have this porridge, yet you’re still being picky! Eat it or don’t!"

Qiu Baolin saw that his mother was serious and didn’t dare say anything more, only muttering, "When will these days ever end?"

Widow Qiu glared at her youngest son, grinding her teeth. "Day after day, all you do is laze around, and you still dream of eating your fill? Dream on!"

Just then, Qiu Baojuan came running in. "Mom, is the food ready? I’m starving!"

Widow Qiu immediately scolded her, "Where have you been running off to again? You’re so grown up, yet you never think to come back and help with the cooking."

Qiu Baojuan reached into the basket and took out a wild vegetable cornbread. "I was with Lingzi under the big locust tree, listening to the educated youths talk about city life. I wonder when I’ll ever get to see a big city?"

No sooner had she spoken than Widow Qiu’s slap landed. "Always daydreaming about nice things!"

Qiu Baojuan clutched the back of her head where it stung. "Mom, can’t you be a little gentler? What if you knock me silly?"

Widow Qiu glanced sideways at her daughter. "You’re not that bright to begin with. If you become a bit sillier, you might even be more obedient and save me some worry."

Qiu Baojuan let out a "HMPH!" and fiercely bit into the wild vegetable cornbread in her hand. "I wish I were Chu Zhiqing!"

Qiu Baolin took a sip of sweet potato leaf porridge. "Finish eating and go to sleep. Maybe you’ll dream about it."
