Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant novel Chapter 522

Chapter 522: Chapter 522: When parents love their child, they make far-reaching plans for them.

Although the men of the Huo Family never came out to lend support, they had been paying close attention to the developments outside.

On the surface, they seemed calm, but the women of the Huo Family knew that the men and sons from the families who came today were probably not going to have good days ahead.

There was still some time before dinner, and Yunyi didn’t want this incident to affect everyone’s mood, so she took out the gifts she had prepared.

First was for Jiang Jingya, her future mother-in-law. "Auntie, you sent me a lot of fashionable clothes from Beijing before, and I’m really grateful. I made this dress myself, and I hope you like it."

Jiang Jingya accepted it with a delighted expression. She hadn’t expected Yunyi to make her a dress. The moment she opened it and saw the dress, her eyes lit up. She really liked the style. "This dress is really beautiful."

Slightly incredulous, she looked up at Yunyi. "Did you make this?"

Yunyi smiled and nodded. "Yes. My grandmother once worked as an embroiderer for a wealthy household. Although my mother didn’t learn everything, she picked up quite a bit. I started learning needlework from my mother when I was a teenager."

Thinking of this body’s foster mother, her heart couldn’t help but feel warm. The original owner had no talent for needlework and had thought of giving up several times, but her foster mother would hold her and persuade her, saying, "A girl will someday become a wife and mother. Sewing may not need to be perfect, but you can’t not know it. Our Yunyi is the smartest. Mother believes it won’t take long before you’ll definitely find the tricks." After persistent effort, the original owner finally managed to learn sewing to a decent degree. Of course, that was far inferior to my own abilities, but this didn’t stop me from using it as a convenient excuse. The foster mother’s instruction to the original owner perfectly embodied the saying that parents’ love for their child reflects their long-term planning. Even if they spoiled her, they wouldn’t indulge her when it came to learning necessary skills. In the modern day, it might not matter if children don’t learn these things. If they can’t do it, they can’t—it’s all about buying ready-made items. However, this era is different. You can’t just throw away clothes for lost buttons or tears, nor can you always go to the tailor.

Jiang Jingya held the dress against her body, examining it from various angles. "Yunyi, your craftsmanship is no less than that of a master tailor! Our Jingrui has truly found a treasure in you."

Recalling something, she quickly explained, "What I mean is, your skill is *this*."

Of course, I understand what my future mother-in-law means. Seeing her anxious explanation, Yunyi couldn’t help but laugh. "I understand what you mean."

Upon hearing this offer, Jiang Jingya couldn’t care less about propriety. "Alright, then I’ll go try it on."

She knew just by looking at the size that the dress would definitely fit. However, since her dear daughter-in-law had made it herself, she really wanted to put it on and show it off right now!

While Jiang Jingya was changing, Yunyi took out the tea leaves she had prepared for her future father-in-law. "I heard you enjoy tasting tea. I just happened to get two cans. Would you like them?"

Seeing that Yunyi had also prepared a gift for him, Huo Shanhe accepted it, his face wreathed in smiles. "You’ve really gone to a lot of trouble."

Huo’s second brother, also a tea lover, could hardly contain himself after his father opened a can. "Dad, why don’t I brew a pot for you? I’d like to share the enjoyment too."
