Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 970 - 972: Let Me See Who Dares to Stop Me

This stockade exudes a mysterious ambiance, making people feel quite uneasy.

You say they’re not like bandits, yet they truly claim to be just that, even the neighboring village is spreading the word that bandits have come up the mountain.

You say they are bandits, then why don’t they rob carriages, or seize money? Why only her?

If she was as beautiful as a fairy, that would make sense.

But she’s plain and ugly, a married woman with a child, what’s worth seizing? Xiaoxiao really couldn’t figure it out.

After wandering for a while, Xiaoxiao felt like she’d discovered a new world—there’s a little wooden house over there. How did she miss it earlier?

Xiaoxiao, driven by curiosity, was about to walk over when Yuniang stopped her.

"Miss, you can’t go there, let’s head somewhere else."

"..." Huh? Can’t go? Could it be a forbidden area? The more it seemed so, the more Xiaoxiao wanted to see. What if it’s some dirt on the stockade?

Xiaoxiao didn’t listen to Yuniang and instead headed that way.

"Hey, miss, you really can’t go over there, let’s hurry away." Yuniang shouted anxiously, trying to stop Xiaoxiao.

Xiaoxiao didn’t know where her strength came from, but Yuniang couldn’t stop her as she headed right over there.

However, before she could get close to the little wooden house, she was stopped by a guard, "You can’t enter here."

The more they said no, the more Xiaoxiao felt there had to be something fishy inside, she had to see.

So she put her hands on her hips, entering a bossy mode, "You won’t let me in? Do you know who I am?"

"???" The guard was utterly confused, isn’t she the one caught yesterday to be the stockade wife?

Xiaoxiao snorted coldly, her gaze as sharp as knives, chin held high, nostrils flared, giving off the air of the stockade’s matriarch, "I’ll tell you, I’m about to be the stockade wife your Big Boss will marry."

"..." Yes, they were aware, she’s the one they caught.

"Then why don’t you move aside quickly? You’re still going to boss me around? Watch out, I’ll complain to your Big Boss and you won’t know what hit you."

Having said this, the opponent remained expressionless and didn’t move aside, leaving Xiaoxiao speechless. She’s not usually the villain here—she might break down any moment.

"I’ll tell you all, I’m Big Boss’s wife, and with Big Boss not here, everyone in the stockade has to listen to me, you have to listen to me, or when Big Boss returns, he’ll kick you all out."

Seeing this, Yuniang hurriedly pulled Xiaoxiao, wondering where she got the guts and confidence from, "Miss, let’s just go, this place isn’t somewhere we should be."

"No way, I have to go in today, even the cats and dogs want to boss me around? What’s the point of being the stockade wife if I have no authority?" Xiaoxiao rolled up her sleeves, wanting to charge forward, but deep down she lacked the confidence—she’s a hostage after all, and didn’t know if the title of stockade wife could fool the small fry in the stockade, "Let’s see who dares stop me."

Just as Xiaoxiao was about to charge forward, a voice rang out, "Are you sure you want to come in?"

Xiaoxiao was scared to death by the voice, and quickly looked up. Damn, someone comes and tells her why there’s someone inside!

If she had known the Second Boss was here, she wouldn’t dare enter even with ten lions’ courage. She was just trying to intimidate the guards; she didn’t want to anger a tiger-level figure, she couldn’t afford it. Who knows when the tiger might become fierce?
