Rebirth of a Farming Wife-Chapter 310 - 318: Deliberate Misinterpretation

Chapter 310: Chapter 318: Deliberate Misinterpretation

My younger sister used to be quite a troublemaker, but ever since she married, she became a different person—every action she takes is for a reason. Even though I don’t understand what could possibly draw her attention to an obscure woman, I’ve decided to leave someone in Jiyang to continue looking for information about this woman.”

“Younger sister, do you have any other clues about this woman? It’s quite difficult to find someone in a big place like Jiyang with only the information at hand. Could this woman pose a threat to you in the future?” This was Su Hengyi’s main concern.

Su Wenyue felt warmth in her heart upon hearing Su Hengyi’s question. How fortunate she was to be born into such a loving family, pampered by her parents and cherished by her brother. Despite this, she didn’t want her brother to worry for nothing.

“This woman won’t pose a threat to me, but she’s a very formidable woman. Although she hasn’t shown her true capabilities yet, I don’t know if she’s intentionally hiding her sharp edges or if it’s for some other reason. I’m curious about her and want to keep an eye on the matter, so that’s why I asked my brother for help in gathering information about her. She might not be called Chen Li, but I’m certain her surname is Chen, and she’s around thirteen or fourteen years old.”

Su Wenyue spoke of her thus, yet Su Hengyi didn’t quite believe it. He hadn’t missed the complex expression that flashed across his sister’s face when she mentioned this woman—there had to be some reason behind it. Since she chose not to divulge, he didn’t press further, simply arranging for someone to find the woman sooner and keep an eye on her. If this woman dared to harm his younger sister, he would show no mercy.

“Rest assured, younger sister, if such a person exists, I’ll have someone continue the search. Sooner or later, we will find her. Don’t worry, just live your life in peace. I, as your big brother, won’t let anyone disturb you. If Han Yu dares to wrong you, no matter how high he might climb, I won’t let him off the hook,” Su Hengyi had clearly misunderstood. After all, Su Wenyue was asking him to find a seemingly harmless woman, but in some ways, his assumption wasn’t entirely unfounded, particularly since Su Wenyue was actually quite sick of the rumors about Han Yu and Noble Consort Li. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Hearing Su Hengyi say this, Su Wenyue’s lips twitched, but her heart was filled with warmth, “Big brother, don’t worry. Your younger sister isn’t useless. I’m searching for that woman for a different reason. If you find her, don’t mistreat her. As for Han Yu, if he ever does betray me, there’s no need for you to intervene; I won’t let him go easily myself. I’m quite formidable now!”

“That’s my sister! Truly worthy to be Su Hengyi’s sister, the daughter of the Su family. You should be confident. No matter what, you have the entire Su family to support you.” Su Hengyi was very satisfied with his younger sister’s current attitude. He had previously worried about her being too spoiled and not capturing her husband’s heart, then later feared that her being too virtuous might lead to mistreatment by her husband’s family. Now, hearing these words from her, Su Hengyi was even more reassured.

Su Hengyi then inquired about Su Wenyue’s recent affairs, and about the New Year: “This year, our family will also come to the prefecture city to celebrate the New Year, and we will stay there for a while, making it convenient for you when you come back, little sister.”

Upon hearing this, Su Wenyue’s face lit up with joy, “Big brother, is that true? Our family has always abided by the ancestral teachings to keep a low profile, and father and mother are accustomed to living in the countryside. Why suddenly plan to spend the New Year in the prefecture city? It wouldn’t be for my sake, would it?”

Even though Su Wenyue knew it was somewhat unlikely, given her parents’ and brother’s love for her, she couldn’t think of any other reasons.

“Isn’t that flattering? Little sister is getting more and more confident. Is it from being pampered by your brother-in-law? The ancestral teachings are for times of peace. The world is now in chaos, and we have become entangled with the main house; not to mention the other reasons. A large part of our family business is in the prefecture city, and it constantly requires father’s and my management. Instead of running back and forth and not having a peaceful New Year, we might as well move to the city. Besides, the eldest aunt and others are living at home, so moving to the prefecture city would be much more convenient. However, little sister hasn’t guessed wrong; indeed, part of the reason is because of you. Father, mother, and we all are worried about you; the prefecture city is not as simple as the county town. It’s your first time here, and we don’t want you to be bullied. Your husband’s family will also be in the prefecture city for the New Year, and with us here, they wouldn’t dare to cause any trouble or bully you.”

Su Hengyi hadn’t forgotten the grievances his younger sister had suffered in her husband’s family and held a low opinion of her in-laws. His tone worsened when he brought them up.

“Big brother, you’re so good to me. Having a family like you is my greatest fortune and support,” Su Wenyue’s eyes heated up as she affectionately grasped Su Hengyi’s arm and snuggled against it, rubbing her head against her big brother to hide the emotion in her eyes.

When Han Yu found out that his brother-in-law had arrived, he hurried over, but his face darkened at the scene before him. That girl simply never learned; hadn’t he told her not to be so intimate with other men?

Han Yu had set this rule not because he doubted Su Wenyue’s fidelity; it was purely out of jealousy, seeing his wife so ‘intimate’ with anyone but himself, especially targeted at the two brothers-in-law who liked to ‘roughhouse’ with his wife. To put it bluntly, he was just being unreasonably jealous. Even though he knew it was irrational, he insisted on his wife’s agreement.

“Big brother is here! Wife, you really don’t get it. You’re not a small person anymore. When big brother arrives, why don’t you entertain him properly, instead of clinging onto big brother like that, still thinking you’re a child?” Han Yu said with indulgent affection in his voice while nonchalantly pulling his wife away from her eldest brother-in-law and holding her in his arms, which was quite an eyesore for Su Hengyi.

Being a man with his own wife, Su Hengyi fully understood Han Yu’s little schemes. He found it both amusing and gratifying, and was relieved to see his younger sister held such a prominent place in her brother-in-law’s heart. If it weren’t for care, the brother-in-law wouldn’t show such behavior.

As soon as Su Wenyue saw Han Yu return, remembering how he had ‘shamelessly’ threatened her before, she knew her husband was being petty again, unable to stand her closeness with her big brother and second brother.

Those were her real brothers, and it had always been like this since childhood. Han Yu was the one being unreasonable here, but on this matter, the man was simply illogical. If she didn’t agree, he would persistently torment her, so when Han Yu came in, Su Wenyue’s embrace around Su Hengyi stiffened a bit, letting Han Yu pull her away.

“Brother-in-law, what you’re saying isn’t quite fair. My little sister is the epitome of understanding. She might have been a bit spoiled at home due to our doting, perhaps a little willful. After marrying into the Han family, she went through hardships, and nearly lost her life, all for your sake. She became so sensible that it pained us to watch. Saying such things is a bit heartless! If you are truly unsatisfied with my sister, I can take her back home right now, so she won’t be picked on by others again in the future,” Su Hengyi deliberately misinterpreted, knowing full well that wasn’t what Han Yu meant.
