Rebirth: Divine Doctor, Sweet Wife

Jiang Yingqiu did not know what to say. “Anyway, the divorce isn’t a big deal as long as Yao Yao isn’t hurt. As for your Uncle Gu… I’ve never noticed much affection between him and Zhang Xiaohui anyway. Meeting someone like Zhang Xiaohui… was his misfortune!”

Mo Beihan did not want to say too much about this matter. He unpacked the parcel, starting with the muffler. “Mother, Yao Yao made this for you. It’s to wrap around your neck. And these two quilted jackets are for the two of you.”

Mo Beihan handed the two quilted jackets to the children.

Children always longed for new clothes. The moment they heard there were new quilted jackets, they immediately reached for the jackets in excitement.

Jiang Yingqiu took the muffler and wrapped it around her neck. It was in a novel wrap design, stuffed with cotton wool and lined with new cotton. She had altered some old clothing to make the outside so that it was not so conspicuous.

Then she looked at the two children’s clothes and felt them. They were stuffed with new cotton wool and were just as soft, but the outer layer was made from old clothes which had been altered.

The stitches were very fine, and the clothes fitted the children well.

The quilted jackets were worn as an inner layer, and they wore their coats over it. By wearing the jackets inside, they were even less conspicuous.

Jiang Yingqiu laughed. “This child is really discreet. By making them in this way, no one can tell they’re new unless they touch the clothes. This is better. We won’t arouse the envy of others.”

In these times, everyone was very poor. Most people had very little, and only a very few had new winter clothes. A quilted jacket was an item that was greatly envied.

If any child wore a new quilted jacket, the children in the entire brigade would be jealous.

Their family had always kept a low profile. In these times, discretion was crucial.

The two children’s eyes shone as they hugged their new clothes. “Elder Sister Gu is so nice!”

Mo Beihan looked stern. “You should refer to her as ‘Aunt’!”

Mo Chengrui: “…”

Mo Chengxu: “…”

Mo Chengrui was older and much more mature. Mo Chengxu was still young, and did not understand. “But Elder Sister Gu is so young! Elder Brother Goudan also calls her ‘Elder Sister’!”

Mo Beihan: “…”

These were his nephews. How could they refer to his future wife as their elder sister?

They must get the family hierarchy right.

“That won’t do. Elder Brother Goudan is not part of our family, so it’s different for him. He can call her whatever he likes. Also, Elder Brother Goudan is older than you, so he should call her ‘Elder Sister’. But it’s different for you. In the future, you have to call her ‘Aunt’!”

Mo Chengxu bowed his little head and thought of Elder Sister Gu. He had to call such a pretty elder sister… Aunt?

He just could not bring himself to do it!

“‘Aunt’ sounds too old!”

Mo Beihan was irritated. “Don’t you think I’m too young to be called ‘Uncle’? Am I really that old?”

Mo Chengxu: “…”

His little head was in a muddle. His uncle’s words were just too abstract!

Jiang Yingqiu laughed and patted Mo Chengxu’s little head. “Listen to your uncle. In the future, just call her ‘Auntie’.”

“Okay!”

He would just obey, even if he did not understand.

Gu Qingyao tidied the house, then went to her room to sleep. As the night grew still, she entered her living interspace.

She had planted many trees and medicinal herbs here.

This time, she was here to pick some fruits.

She had peaches, oranges, apples, grapes and strawberries. Gu Qingyao smiled broadly as she looked at the glistening fruits!

She carried a small basket and picked a few at a time!
