Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 1426 - 1428: Official Introduction

When asked about her marriage prospects, a blush instantly appeared on Li Chuntao’s face.

She said somewhat embarrassedly, "I haven’t talked about marriage yet. My parents are alive and well, my elder sister has been married for many years, and I have three brothers, all of whom are married and each with children."

This response indirectly confirmed to everyone that she was indeed the chubby girl rumored about.

For a moment, everyone in the courtyard felt as if a drum was beating in their hearts.

They all thought that these rumors were really unreliable. Take the third brother’s wife, for instance. People said all sorts of bad things about her, but in reality, she turned out to be quite good. Without her, could their family be what it is today?

Then there’s this girl in front of us, rumored to be ugly and fat, but in reality? She’s not fat at all and quite pretty.

They also said she was lazy and did nothing, but now she’s here helping us thresh the corn.

Where’s all that nonsense from outside? This girl seems quite amicable and down-to-earth.

We really can’t trust rumors anymore.

Such a good girl hasn’t talked about marriage. It’s probably not as the rumors say. Perhaps the Li Family has high standards and wants her to marry someone of equal standing. How could they choose someone from the countryside?

Just as they were chatting, Yang Dong walked into the courtyard, making everyone curious. Yang Ming’s mother asked, "Fourth, why are you back?"

The fourth brother was helping out at Yang Xiaocui’s house and usually ate with them in the fields, so why had he returned today?

Seeing Yang Dong, Li Chuntao stiffened, feeling quite uneasy. He promised not to come back, so why was he here?

Yang Dong didn’t expect the pretty girl his sister-in-law knew to be at his house, and even helping out in the yard. He heard her mentioning she hadn’t talked about marriage as soon as he entered.

Yang Dong didn’t want to explain more, just said, "I came home to eat."

Then he went next to his elder brother and started threshing corn together.

Seeing him like that, looking somewhat upset, they suspected that Aunt Lan Hua might have given him a hard time. With Li Chuntao also present, no one dared to ask and just let him be. Anyway, the meal wasn’t ready, so they could all continue working for a bit longer.

With a stranger in the courtyard, Yang Dong neither greeted her nor asked who she was, just squatted down to work. This left Yang Ming’s mother feeling a bit embarrassed, thinking her son was somewhat impolite or even rude. She quickly explained, "Chuntao, this is my youngest son, Yang Dong. He’s a bit blunt, please don’t mind him."

"No, no, it’s my fault for coming by so abruptly." Li Chuntao said, her eyes glancing towards Yang Dong.

Due to the embarrassing incident last night, Yang Dong felt somewhat awkward and hadn’t dared to look at Li Chuntao. Hearing his mother, he finally looked up and said, "My name is Yang Dong."

The sudden introduction made Li Chuntao inexplicably nervous, causing her to stutter, "I, I am Li Chuntao."

After speaking, both quickly lowered their heads and continued with their tasks.

With her head lowered, Li Chuntao’s heart was pounding, as this was her official introduction to Yang Dong.

Yang Dong, with his head lowered, though his expression unchanged, was thinking, oh, so her name is Li Chuntao, that’s a nice name.
