Rebirth of a Farming Wife

Chapter 546: Chapter 553: Mother and Son Meet

Brother Chen immediately climbed down from the bed and was about to go outside. Brother Xing had always been the more stable one, but this was a message regarding their parents, and he couldn’t hold back either. However, before leaving the room, he instructed his younger sister-in-law to dress warmly to avoid catching a cold. Only then did he sneak out, avoiding the nanny and servant girl who were resting in the concubine’s quarters. Right as he reached the door, he saw the figures they had longed to see, prompting the three little ones to rub their eyes.

“Big brother, am I seeing things? That looks like Mother, doesn’t it?” Brother Chen stared blankly at the figure approaching them.

“Big brother, that woman does look like Mother, but she seems a bit thinner. Could someone be impersonating her?” Sister Yu followed up.

At that moment, Brother Xing couldn’t care less about the younger ones, as his eyes followed the familiar figure drawing near. He had stayed strong and not cried during these days, but now, tears welled up in his eyes.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Are you stupid? Our mother is so beautiful, who else could impersonate her? It’s definitely our mother, no mistake. It looks like Dad is by her side. I hope Dad hasn’t been mistreating Mother. I heard Hu Wa, the kid next door, say that his dad has another woman and doesn’t like his mother anymore. He and that bad woman are mistreating his mom, and she has become very skinny,” Brother Chen seriously speculated.

“You are the stupid one. Dad loves Mother the most. He wouldn’t like any other bad woman. Our mother is so beautiful, and Dad isn’t foolish, he definitely wouldn’t mistreat Mother,” Sister Yu argued. Since Han Yu, their father, favored Sister Yu more than Brother Xing and Brother Chen because she was a girl, Dad held a significant place in Sister Yu’s heart; she couldn’t stand to hear Brother Chen speak ill of him.

Brother Chen’s eyes spun around: “How would you know? You’re the silly one. A man’s heart is unfathomable, like a needle at the bottom of the ocean; he falls in love with every woman he sees. Otherwise, why would he send Mother and us away? He must have fallen for another bad woman.”

At this time, Brother Xing’s mood had improved a little. Hearing his younger brother and sister’s conversation, a few metaphorical black lines appeared on his forehead. What a chaotic mess of words, likely picked up from playing outside.

“Enough, no more nonsense. Dad and Mother are fine; otherwise, why would they come back together? Weren’t you missing Mother? Stop blabbering here, I’m going to greet Mother,” Brother Xing said, showing a rare childlike side as he ran ahead with his little legs.

Seeing their elder brother running ahead, the two little ones, not to be outdone, quickly chased after him.

Su Wenyue was led by the Feng family’s servants to a quaint small courtyard, which turned out to be where the children had been staying during this time. The environment was quite nice. Su Wenyue was observing and just about to head inside when she saw three little figures running toward her. Before she could react, they crashed into her embrace. If Han Yu hadn’t been there to support her, she might have fallen over from the impact. Yet, being bumped into didn’t upset Su Wenyue; instead, she beamed with a delighted, almost foolish smile.

Brother Xing and Brother Chen, having run the fastest, were the first to reach Su Wenyue’s embrace. Sister Yu, a bit slower, seeing Mother’s embrace occupied, threw herself into Father’s arms. This made Han Yu’s initially somewhat dark expression brighten instantly; in his heart, only one thought prevailed: Daughters are indeed the best; daughters are considerate and know how to cherish their dad. Those two rascally boys didn’t even glance his way.

As for the fact that Sister Yu turned to Daddy’s embrace because she couldn’t get to Mother’s, Han Yu conveniently ignored it. He was now certain of one thing: daughters are more affectionate.

“Mother! Mother!” Brother Xing and Brother Chen, not content with just being in Su Wenyue’s arms, jostled each other, each wanting to hog more of Mother’s attention. Despite their young age, the two little guys were surprisingly strong. Su Wenyue, not particularly strong herself, was almost unable to cope.

Fearing his wife might tire, Han Yu set Sister Yu down and plucked the two little rascals out of Su Wenyue’s arms, one in each hand.

“You two rascals, quite sturdy for your size. There’s a bit of heft when I pick you up,” Han Yu remarked, his words laced with satisfaction. Not just about Brother Xing and Brother Chen, but even Sister Yu, when held, had a substantial weight. Seeing the three healthy and robust little ones, the daughter-in-law could now rest easy. In the beginning, Han Yu was worried that the three little ones, without their parents by their side, might not have been well-cared for and would be thin and weak. After all, everyone said how pitiable the three children were. It seemed his worries were unfounded.
