Chapter 396: Chapter 223 Good Parents-In-Law_3
Cheng Yue could tell good from bad and upon hearing Lady Wu say this, her eyes reddened as she spoke, "Mother-in-law, Yueyue knows you and father-in-law treat Yueyue well."
Qian Yeejin said spiritedly, "If she dares to make my mother unhappy, I’ll divorce her. Also, my wife must not only have a good temper but must also be as beautiful as my mother."
Qian Yixiu laughed again, "Someone as beautiful as our mother, only our father has the ability to find. For anyone else, it’s simply impossible. So, brother, according to your criteria, you’ll basically find no one."
The dinner was filled with the family’s hearty laughter and continuous joy, even Monkey Sister couldn’t help but grin broadly.
After the meal, the younger siblings accompanied Cheng Yue for a stroll in Hexi Garden, with Monkey Sister and Tiaotiao following them.
At this moment, it was sunset. In Hexi Garden, the mountains and the eaves and corners of buildings peeking through the bamboo groves and forests were all draped in the golden hues of the evening glow. The afterglow of the setting sun stretched their shadows long, and the breeze skimming the lake surface sent the lotus leaves rippling like emerald waves, making the swaying golden lotuses even more graceful.
The laughter and noise of the servants’ and workers’ children from behind the courtyard wall, along with the occasional barks and crowing, disrupted the quiet of the garden, pulling the enchanting Hexi Garden back to the mortal world.
After walking in silence for a while, Qian Yeejin suddenly said, "Sister, brother has just realized, it’s not only our father who has the ability to find a woman as beautiful as our mother. In the future, when sister becomes as beautiful as our mother, won’t sister’s husband also be as capable as our father?"
The troublemaker was still fixated on that matter; it was all a mistake of my own making.
Qian Yixiu replied, "Don’t worry, brother, there will definitely be someone as beautiful as our mother. Once you grow up and meet more people, you’ll find them."
Qian Yeejin shook his head, "That won’t happen, at least in brother’s heart there will never be anyone more beautiful than mother and sister."
Qian Yixiu retorted, "That’s because brother has only seen the people of Huaxi Village. The books say it as well, do they not? ’In books, there are beauties, with skin as fair as jade.’ When brother becomes a graduate, he’ll see plenty of jade-like beauties."
Qian Yeejin shook his head, not convinced.
Qian Yixiu teased, "Brother, you’re not already thinking about getting married at such a young age, are you?"
Cheng Yue also smiled with pursed lips, "Jinwa, how shy."
Qian Yeejin’s face turned red and he pouted, "Not at all, we just got on the topic, didn’t we?" He waved his hands dismissively, "Okay, okay, let’s stop talking about this. Marrying a wife or marrying off a sister, that’s still a long way off."
As they were speaking, they saw Monkey Sister suddenly dash towards the back gate, with Tiaotiao closely following. Suddenly, a monkey leaped onto the courtyard wall, jumped down to unlatch the back door, and in rushed Dashan, White Wolf, and Benben one after another, White Wolf even carrying a dead wild animal in its mouth. Once they were all inside, the monkey re-secured the door before moving to meet Monkey Sister.
If that monkey wasn’t Monkey Brother, who else could it be? It joyously lifted Monkey Sister into its arms and ran together with Dashan’s family toward Qian Yixiu.
Looking at how Monkey Brother opened and closed the door, it had gotten sharper than before.
Not far from the back door, several rooms had been built for Su Sanwu and Li Erniu, who took turns living here, managing the safety of West Lake’s fish and lotus roots and Hexi Garden. Su Sanwu was on duty today, and as he heard the commotion, he walked out of his house. He smiled at Monkey Brother, "Oh, you’ve grown more capable now, not even needing me to open the door for you."
Monkey Brother, Dashan, and Benben had been in the mountains for over a month, the longest period they had been away, causing worry among the household.
The young siblings let go of Cheng Yue’s hand and headed towards them.
Qian Yixiu was still complaining, "You were gone for such a long time; don’t you know we were worried?" She then smiled at White Wolf, "Welcome, Uncle Wolf."
Being a son-in-law and a guest, White Wolf was naturally treated differently. Moreover, it always brought gifts whenever it visited; today, it had brought a young bear that had yet to reach adulthood. Even though immature, it still weighed over a hundred pounds.
All of them were drenched and clean, having obviously bathed in the creek outside. Qian Yixiu, along with Qian Yeejin and Cheng Yue, led them to Linfeng Garden, then instructed Su Sanwu to take the bear to the kitchen for preparation. They also asked for a few bowls of minced meat and egg soup and a basin of marinated meat mixed with rice to be brought to Linfeng Garden.
Linfeng Garden was surrounded by many trees and had more open terrain around it, leading to slightly stronger breezes within the courtyard, causing the leaves to rustle loudly.
Once inside the hall, Qian Yeejin had his mother and sister sit on the arhat bed, and personally brought a bowl of water mixed with fruit syrup for Cheng Yue. Xiao Ching, the maid of Linfeng Garden, also served a bowl to Qian Yixiu.
