Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 1397 - 1399: The Wealthy Family’s Young Lady

The matter of eating was settled just like that. As soon as Xiaoxiao got home, she told her father-in-law and mother-in-law.

The two elders were very happy. They originally thought they would be eating at home, but to their surprise, the old lady invited them over to eat.

Early the next morning, Yang Chun and Yang Gang went to the town, bought some food, and hurried to deliver it to the eldest uncle’s house.

Although the meal was for the evening, quite a few relatives had already arrived at Yang Dazhu’s house early in the morning.

The wives were all helping prepare the food, and others gathered around to chat; the atmosphere was just like New Year’s.

This made the villagers quite curious about what the Yang Family was up to.

It wasn’t New Year or a festival, and it was the busy farming season. Instead of shelling corn at home, they were holding a feast. What was the happy occasion?

"Hey, what’s the happy occasion at the Yang Family today?"

"Haven’t heard of any happy occasion."

"If there’s a happy event, isn’t it the matter between Yang Dong and Yang Xiaocui? What else could it be?"

"Come on, I think there’s something going on at Yang Dazhu’s place. If it were Yang Dong and Yang Xiaocui’s event, why is everyone going to Yang Dazhu’s to eat? And if it were the kids’ event, why is Xiaocui’s family still working in the field, and why is Yang Dong helping out as well?"

"I really have no idea then."

"..."

"..."

Any small event in this village could spread around, and sometimes it’s the elderly who spread the news.

Isn’t that the case today? A group of elderly people was chatting leisurely in the main square.

Because of their age, their hearing wasn’t good, so they spoke loudly enough for anyone passing by to hear them clearly.

As Xiaoxiao was planning to take the child to her eldest uncle’s house, she overheard them.

Speaking of Yang Dong, Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but feel helpless. Since he came back, he was out early and back late, helping the Xiaocui family harvest corn. Aunt Lan Hua really didn’t treat Yang Dong as an outsider. The most impressive thing was that even on the day of the Yang Family gathering, she didn’t let Yang Dong off.

Regarding Yang Dong and Xiaocui’s affair, although Xiaoxiao hadn’t said much, she had talked to Yang Dong, telling him not to rush. After all, Xiaocui was still young. They should take their time and not feel pressured that things were set in stone. If the person turns out to be good, then it’s fine; if not, they could still call off the engagement. Yang Dong agreed, saying he understood, so she didn’t press further, as it was ultimately Yang Dong’s matter.

As Xiaoxiao was about to pass by, she heard the discussion again.

"Hey, did you see that, the daughter of the wealthy family came in."

"Saw her, saw her, that girl is so pretty, way prettier than the girls in our village."

"Exactly, I saw her too. What is she doing here in the countryside?"

"Who knows? Maybe it’s because of the busy farming season. Their family has so much land to harvest; they must send someone."

"..."

"..."

Hearing this, Xiaoxiao was a bit surprised. The daughter of the wealthy family?

Isn’t she the one who bought the rental cottage before? She remembered the Village Chief mentioning someone would come to live in the countryside for a while, and she wondered why she hadn’t come yet.

At that time, she thought it might be for someone, and if it were Yang Ming, hmm...

Thinking about it now, she realized how silly her thoughts were.

However, coincidentally, the rented cottage was right next to Aunt Lan Hua’s house. When she went to her eldest uncle’s place, she might pass by, maybe even run into her.

With that thought, Xiaoxiao walked away.
