Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant novel Chapter 965

Chapter 965: Chapter 969: Gossip in the Family Compound

After Huo Jingrui left, Yunyi closed the main door and went straight back to bed to catch up on sleep.

But she hadn’t been asleep for long when the noise outside woke her up.

Thinking about cooking lunch for Jingrui, she decided to get up.

She took a round in the kitchen and saw that the oil at home was almost out. She didn’t have any stored in her space, so she thought of going to the supply store outside the residential area to check.

She poured the little oil left in the bottle into the cooking pan, put the empty bottle in the basket, and headed out with it.

Once out, she realized why it had been so lively earlier; it turned out that the son of Commandant Xu, who lived next door to Commissar Hong in the front row, was getting engaged today.

Yunyi saw Sister-in-law Lü chatting idly with someone, so she went up to greet her: "Sister-in-law Lü, busy?"

Wan Ruhua saw it was Yunyi and smiled, pulling her over: "Sister, where are you off to?"

Yunyi pointed to the oil bottle in her basket: "We’re out of oil at home, so I thought I’d check out the supply store."

Wan Ruhua followed her gaze and smiled, chiming in: "The supply store got in some soybean oil yesterday, you’re just in time."

Yunyi chuckled: "That’s great to hear. Well, you carry on, I’m off to get some oil."

Yunyi hadn’t walked far when she heard Luo Xiaofang, Commander Qiao’s wife, chirping in: "Really can’t manage a household — hasn’t been that long and already a bottle of oil is gone."

Wan Ruhua, not one to tolerate Luo Xiaofang’s gossiping, retorted: "The other day Deputy Regimental Commander Huo’s family hosted guests, so it’s normal for the oil to run out. Besides, it’s not like they’re spending your money. You’re minding business that’s too broad for you, aren’t you?"

Luo Xiaofang was displeased: "Wan Ruhua, I wasn’t even talking about you, why are you butting in?"

Wan Ruhua rolled her eyes: "What you’re saying doesn’t make sense, so I have to step in."
