Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 935 - 937: Did I Accidentally Become a God?

Hearing his daughter mentioning several times to talk after entering the house, Old Man An quickly agreed and led the group inside.

An Quan was quite upset that his sister wanted to let the family of three, who were asking about Divine Doctor Xue, into the house. But since his father had already agreed, he had no choice but to follow them unwillingly.

The onlookers at the door, realizing they couldn’t get any information, started to disperse. However, soon the entire village knew that the old girl from the An Family had returned, which sparked all sorts of wild speculations about An’an’s return.

"What do you think, how exactly did An’an come back?"

"I bet she might have escaped on her own."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. So many people couldn’t handle just one little girl?"

"Then how do you think she came back?"

"I reckon the heavens must have seen how miserable this family was and rescued her."

"Are you saying there’s divine intervention?"

"Exactly, there’s no way the girl could have run away on her own. Even if she did, that family wouldn’t just let it go easily."

"..."

The villagers continued their heated discussion under the tree at the village square. If Xiaoxiao knew about their conversations, she’d definitely have mocked them for being superstitious. How did she end up becoming a divine savior just by mistake?

Just then, a voice interrupted, "Who are you all talking about?"

The voice made everyone shiver, and they quickly dodged the question, "No one, no one. We’re just chatting nonsense. I need to go, lots to do at home."

"Yeah, I’ve got a lot of work to catch up on too, I’m leaving."

The group of gossipers scattered quickly upon that person’s arrival, each feeling a cold sweat, fearing trouble brewing for the An Family.

Indeed, the person was none other than Mrs. Chen from the Old Tian Family in the village. It was she who had advised her distant relative to lend the An Family twenty taels of silver. When the An Family couldn’t pay it back, they’d come to take the daughter to marry the fool, and she would earn a two-tael commission.

Now hearing about An’an’s return, it implied the wedding hadn’t happened today. Fearing she might lose her two-tael commission, she hurried off to her distant relative to find out the situation.

The village where An’an was to be married wasn’t far, just the neighboring village, about two hours’ walk. Xiaoxiao and they encountered them midway, so they didn’t have to walk far before entering the village.

Mrs. Chen, anxious about her two taels of silver, moved swiftly. Halfway there, she encountered her distant relatives.

They all looked fierce and were clearly furious, coming to take An’an back.

Mrs. Chen approached with a smile, "Uncle, what on earth happened?"

"Hmph! What happened? That little wench ran away halfway. We’re going to Old Man An’s house to settle the score. Since the daughter ran, we’ll take their daughter-in-law instead." He was determined to find a wife for his foolish son, believing the twenty taels weren’t spent in vain. Since the young girl ran, he’d take their daughter-in-law as compensation.

"Uncle, don’t be so angry. That girl has returned to Old Man An’s house, she can’t escape."

"Returned to Old Man An’s house? Perfect. Watch me skin her alive for trying to run. Let’s go." With that, the group marched aggressively towards Old Man An’s house.
