Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 1407 - 1409: Yang Xiaocui Makes Amends

Seeing the visitor, Li Chuntao was very surprised. Why did she come?

The visitor was none other than Yang Xiaocui from next door. She had come over after dinner, thinking she should build a good relationship with the wealthy family’s daughter.

After making eye contact with Li Chuntao, she hesitantly asked, "Can I come in?"

"Yes, you can." Li Chuntao didn’t know why Yang Xiaocui had come, but she let her in anyway.

Besides Li Chuntao and Alu, there were others in the courtyard, all sent by the Li Family to harvest corn.

The Li Family’s corn already had fixed buyers. The corn was temporarily stored in the courtyard and would be transported all away after being shelled.

Everyone had eaten and returned to their rooms to rest, after a tiring day of work.

Yang Xiaocui entered the courtyard and said, "My name is Yang Xiaocui, I live next door. I’m really sorry for what happened with my mom during the day. I apologize on her behalf. Our family has been poor for so long, that’s why my mom behaves like that. She must have embarrassed you."

Li Chuntao had not expected Yang Xiaocui to come for this reason. It seemed Yang Xiaocui really was different from that auntie. No wonder Yang Dong agreed to the engagement.

She bitterly smiled to herself, mocking her own petty thoughts.

Before that, she thought if Yang Xiaocui also turned out to be unpleasant, maybe Yang Dong would change his mind, and she might have a chance.

Now it seemed she had overthought it.

"It’s okay, really. The issue has been resolved, and I wasn’t put at a disadvantage."

Seeing that Li Chuntao was not bothered, Yang Xiaocui felt at ease. To express goodwill, she took out a brand new kerchief from her pocket. Although the fabric was coarse and the embroidery was rudimentary, the effort was evident.

Yang Xiaocui handed the kerchief to Li Chuntao, "This is for you. We’ll be neighbors from now on. By the way, what’s your name?"

Such a gesture left the simple-minded Li Chuntao slightly overwhelmed. She felt even more guilty, thinking how kind this girl was while she was coveting her fiancé. It was unforgivable.

She accepted the kerchief from Yang Xiaocui and said, "Thank you, my name is Li Chuntao."

"Can I call you Chuntao from now on? You can call me Xiaocui."

"Oh, sure."

At that moment, a loud shout came from next door, "Yang Xiaocui, where did you run off to?"

Hearing the voice, Yang Xiaocui quickly said, "My mom is calling me, I have to go back, or she’ll start scolding me."

Yang Xiaocui turned to leave, but Li Chuntao stopped her, "Wait for a moment."

Not knowing why Li Chuntao wanted her to wait, Yang Xiaocui stood there in the courtyard. Li Chuntao briefly went inside the house and returned with a paper package, handing it to Yang Xiaocui, "Take this with you."

"This is..."

"Just take it."

Again, that shout came, "Yang Xiaocui, Yang Xiaocui."

"Your mom is calling you, you should hurry back,"

"Oh, okay, thank you for this."

With that, Yang Xiaocui left the courtyard with the paper package Li Chuntao handed her.

Actually, what Li Chuntao gave Yang Xiaocui was some pastries. She was not someone who liked to owe others favors.

Moreover, she had no intention of becoming close with this Yang Xiaocui.

Whether it was because of Yang Dong, or because of her mother.

She felt it was better to keep a distance, and besides, she wouldn’t be staying long anyway. Accepting the kerchief was just a matter of courtesy, as they were neighbors after all.
