Rebirth of a Farming Wife - Chapter 551

Chapter 551: Chapter 557: Can Bear It
 

Brother-in-law, oh brother-in-law, is the biggest pitfall out there. In the past, I’ve suffered quite a bit at their hands, all because of my wife in my heart, so I had to bear it. Now that I value my wife even more, I have no choice but to endure even harder. There are always some things in the world that are beyond our control,” Han Yu said with a heavy heart.

“Younger Sister seems to be in much better spirits. Did she rest well?” Su Hengyi walked over and looked steadily at his sister, his tone more gentle than ever. Although they had met last night, it was too late, and they only exchanged a few words since Younger Sister was worried about her child. Now, at last, he could really take a good look at her. He remembered how he couldn’t accept or believe the news that his sister had jumped off a cliff. He couldn’t believe that such a wonderful sister was gone. Fortunately, she was blessed by heaven, and even after jumping off a cliff, she was able to pick up her life again.

“Yes, I’ve rested very well. Finally back on my own turf, seeing relatives and children, I slept extra soundly and peacefully. And so I overslept,” Su Wenyue said, feeling a bit embarrassed about sleeping until noon.

“That’s nothing to worry about. I heard from brother-in-law that you’ve suffered a lot these days and have been through a lot of hardship. You need to rest well now. Forget about everything else; the most important thing is to recover your health,” Su Hengyi said as he touched his sister’s head, feeling an unprecedented sense of relief. It was only now that he truly felt relieved, thankful that his sister was still alive. If not, he couldn’t have borne the loss.

“I’ll listen to Elder Brother. I will definitely take good care of myself and get plump and healthy,” Su Wenyue said with a smiling face, thinking about how she had caused her family to worry again.

“That’s good to hear. Mother has already asked an old woman skilled in recovery to come over. Later, she will prepare medicinal meals tailored for your condition. When the time comes, you must cooperate and not be picky.”

“Ah? When did this happen? Mother didn’t tell me about it,” Su Wenyue said, her expression turning a bit sour when she heard this, as she dreaded eating medicinal meals the most. She had just managed to deal with Han Yu, and now it was Mother’s turn.

“Did you hear that?” Su Hengyi, who understood his sister very well, saw Su Wenyue’s reaction and put on the authority of a big brother, his voice rising at the end.

“I know,” Su Wenyue replied weakly, but in the end, she agreed. If it had been before, she might have been able to joke her way out of it, but this time she was being obedient. Su Wenyue couldn’t bear to refuse, knowing her family cared for her. She could imagine their reactions when they received the news of her jumping off the cliff, especially last night when she saw more white hair on her parents’ heads. In such a short time, they looked much older, no doubt due to the sadness over her situation.

“That’s the right attitude. Lady Yue is much more obedient since she came back this time,” Su Hengyi said with a sense of relief, his hand still on Su Wenyue’s head, enjoying the feel of it, and not planning to let go anytime soon.

As Han Yu watched his wife being doted on by another man, he struggled mightily to control his possessiveness and didn’t act out, not wanting to offend his eldest brother-in-law. But Su Hengyi was too much, claiming his wife and stingily not letting go. She was his wife, for heaven’s sake; if anyone should be stroking her, it should be him. His wife was only meant to be cherished by him!

“Elder Brother is right. Lady Yue is indeed becoming more sensible. You need not worry; I’ll take good care of her,” Han Yu said, his expression stiff with a forced smile, pulling his wife over to sit by his side and feeling much more comfortable.

Seeing Han Yu behave so, Su Hengyi didn’t bother to argue. After all, Han Yu had done well this time. For his sister’s sake, he had gone to great lengths; even Su Hengyi wasn’t sure if he could do the same for his wife because sometimes decisions aren’t so easy to make.

“Stop looking at me like I’m a wolf. She’s my own sister, my direct relative. It’s normal to be affectionate. The formidable General Han of the outside world, getting jealous over such trivial matters, now that’s really something,” Su Hengyi said, unable to hold back some teasing words. Seeing Han Yu listening obediently and not daring to retort made Su Hengyi feel quite satisfied.

“Speaking of which, Elder Brother, how did you escape from Chang’an?” Su Wenyue remembered how dangerous it was to go to Chang’an and had worried a lot for her cousin at the time.

“It’s a long story, but in general, I owe it to brother-in-law and the help of his friends. Without them, it wouldn’t have been so easy to execute the plan step by step. We might not even have been able to rescue eldest uncle,” Su Hengyi explained.

Hearing this, Su Wenyue looked gratefully at Han Yu: “Thank you, Husband.”

“It’s what I should do. Having married Lady Yue, becoming a son-in-law of the Su family, our families have become one. How could I possibly stand by idly when the Su family is in trouble? Besides, I couldn’t bear to see my wife sad,” Han Yu took the opportunity to express his love in front of Su Wenyue, looking to earn her favor.

Saying such things in front of so many people, especially in front of her own family, made Su Wenyue glare at Han Yu, her face flustered with embarrassment. She didn’t understand why Han Yu, normally so serious and dignified outside, was becoming so shameless.

“Husband, please stop, it’s making me embarrassed,” Su Wenyue said, her face blushing and voice slightly bashful. Although she was often impudent in private, she always maintained Han Yu’s dignity in public.

Seeing all this, everyone thought highly of Su Wenyue for her sense of propriety. Even though they were aware of the couple’s private interactions, it was enough that she didn’t falter in public, especially since those present were her relatives, naturally biased towards her.

“Tsk tsk, our dear cousin and brother-in-law seem to have a great relationship,” came another teasing voice. Su Wenyue turned to look and it was her cousin whom she hadn’t seen for many years. Though he had matured and looked worn by time, his features hadn’t changed much and his charisma was as dazzling as ever, undiminished by the trials he faced, so she recognized him at first glance.

“Cousin, you just know how to tease me. I won’t have it!” Su Wenyue pouted, though her face showed a touch of laughter and her tone was familiar and natural, without any awkwardness from years of separation, just like close siblings. Not only did Han Yu feel jealous, but Su Hengyi also felt a twinge of envy.

At that moment, Su Wenyue thought back to her previous life and all that her cousin had done for her. This was the first time she had seen him since being reborn, and her gaze was filled with fervor.

Su Hengjing could also sense his cousin’s extraordinary affection, the admiration and gratitude clear in her gaze.
