Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 751: Chapter 751: This Is Just Too Bizarre, Why Isn’t There a Single Good Thing?

Auntie Qi hadn’t finished speaking when she blew her nose loudly.

Huo Jingrui looked at her with a slight feeling of distaste and discreetly stepped back half a step, turning his gaze towards the gate of the family courtyard.

Just then, her son, who had been transferred back from the city machinery factory to be the workshop director at the third workshop, rushed over: ”Mom, what are you doing here?”

After asking, he hurriedly greeted Huo Jingrui: ”Vice Factory Director Huo, I’ll take my mom back right away.”

He said as he reached out to grab his mother.

But Auntie Qi, who had recovered by now, freed one hand and grabbed her son’s arm: ”Guoqing, quick, the dog’s taken our cornbread.”

She pointed in the direction where the dog ran away.

Qi Guoqing, hearing his mother’s words, looked around only to see no sign of the dog, feeling his mother made him lose face in front of Vice Factory Director Huo: ”Mom, don’t be silly. Besides, the dog must have run far away by now, can you still eat that cornbread if you catch it?”

What he didn’t say was, once something enters a dog’s mouth, it’s unlikely to come out.

Auntie Qi heard her son’s remarks and slapped her thigh: ”That damned dog, just barely took my eyes off it and it took my cornbread that I made with the fresh yellow cornmeal we got. I even added less saccharin, it was so tasty.”

Looking in the direction where the dog ran, she showed a face full of regret.

Suddenly thinking of something, she turned to Huo Jingrui: ”Vice Factory Director Huo, see this, had I known your family was allergic to yellow cornmeal, I wouldn’t have sent it over. It’s a fortune for that damned dog.”

The words sound alright on the surface, but best not to dwell on them.

Huo Jiayuan, in the courtyard, keenly noticed a cat jumping up onto the Qi Family’s courtyard wall, heading toward the empty bowl: ”Auntie Qi, if you keep complaining here, that bowl on the wall might be at risk too.”

Auntie Qi, hearing this, quickly looked towards the wall, a cat heading for the bowl.

Auntie Qi feared the bowl might be knocked to the ground, and shouted loudly: ”Go.”

She said as she ran toward it, only her series of actions scared the cat, which leapt to escape. But its hind leg kicked the bowl, causing it to fall from the wall, landing perfectly on a stone usually used to rest feet.

A clear sound echoed, and the bowl was done for.

Huo Jiayuan and Yunyi, seeing this scene, laughed wickedly but dared not laugh aloud.

And Auntie Qi, who saw her cornbread taken by the dog and the bowl broken by the cat, became furious, picking up stones to throw at the cat.

Only today her luck was truly poor; the stone landed directly on her eldest granddaughter’s head, who had come out due to the noise, causing her to bleed with a cry of ”Ah.”

Huo Jiayuan and Yunyi exchanged glances, evidently surprised by the coincidences, as if things were orchestrated, everything happened so smoothly.

This left Huo Jingrui unable to just stand at his door watching the drama unfold, and as Qi Guoqing rushed over, he followed.

Yunyi and Huo Jiayuan naturally followed too, since the injured was a girl, and in case of need, it would be easier to lend a hand.

Before reaching them, they heard Auntie Qi crying out: ”Oh, Xiaoyu, Grandma didn’t do it on purpose.”

She shouted this with her mouth, but inside she thought: today is truly cursed, why isn’t a single good thing happening?

At this time, the bleeding Qi Xiaoyu was crying her heart out.

Out of a healer’s instinct, Yunyi reached out intending to help check the situation, but Auntie Qi, perhaps acting out of madness, directly pushed Yunyi: ”What are you doing?”
