Chapter 1427 - 1429: I’m Too Ordinary
The others in the yard didn’t notice anything, they just thought Li Chuntao might be a bit shy. After all, Yang Dong is an unmarried man, and our family’s fourth child usually doesn’t talk much, so it’s not surprising they reacted that way.
Just because most people didn’t overthink it, doesn’t mean no one did.
See? Yang Gang’s wife started having wild thoughts.
The fourth child is not bad looking, in this rural area, he’s considered outstanding. Li Chuntao looks graceful and ladylike, and is also very attractive. When the two stand together, they surprisingly seem very suitable for each other.
She was thinking that, since her third sister-in-law has someone so remarkable around, why not introduce her to the fourth child.
If the two of them got together, what would happen to that Yang Xiaocui?
Whenever she thought about being related to that Lan Hua Aunt’s family, Yang Gang’s wife felt very uncomfortable, like she had swallowed a fly.
Although this was her brother-in-law’s business, they were a big family. If any family connection was unfavorable, it could cause a lot of trouble in the future.
Thinking about this, she couldn’t help but sigh, the fourth child really had no luck, just look at how nice this girl in front of him is.
In the kitchen, Xiaoxiao also heard that Yang Dong had returned.
She was extremely speechless, how come he never comes back normally, but appears precisely when she brought Li Chuntao over? How lucky could she really be?
She quickly walked out, afraid that Li Chuntao wouldn’t be able to handle it and would feel uncomfortable.
But as soon as she reached the door, she saw that everything seemed fine in the courtyard. It was peaceful, and didn’t seem to be a problem. So, she stepped back and thought she should quickly prepare the meal since the family was probably hungry.
The atmosphere in the courtyard became a little more stifling due to Yang Dong’s presence.
But luckily, with Yang Gang’s wife there, she and Li Chuntao chatted casually, which eased the atmosphere a bit.
After associating Yang Dong with Li Chuntao, Yang Gang’s wife couldn’t help but inquire further. Although she knew there was nothing between them, since Yang Dong was engaged, she was still quite interested in getting to know Li Chuntao more.
Anyway, she just chatted, "Chuntao, what do you usually do at home?"
"I usually stay at home and don’t go out much, just read some books and learn some words." Li Chuntao replied somewhat shyly.
"You can read too? That’s amazing." Though it was a question, the tone obviously conveyed admiration. In rural families, few people could read, let alone women.
She didn’t think much of literacy before, but since knowing her third sister-in-law and that Xiangxiang girl, she started thinking that literate women were destined for great things, unlike those who couldn’t read. So now she fully supported sending her daughter to learn to read.
"Well, it’s nothing special, just a way to pass the time at home."
Reading and writing weren’t just for passing the time; her parents specifically wanted her to learn. Not just her, but everyone in the family learned it.
Her parents couldn’t read, but they made sure all their children could.
The reason was that her father had suffered losses due to illiteracy. To prevent the children from being taken advantage of, boys and girls in the family all learned to read.
"Chuntao, you’re too modest. Literate people have great abilities, you won’t go wrong in the future either," the second wife said generously.
This made Li Chuntao feel very embarrassed, especially when compared to Xiaoxiao. After knowing what Xiaoxiao had accomplished, she knew she was far behind, "I don’t have Xiaoxiao’s skills, I’m just too ordinary."
