Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 988 - 990: When Has She Ever Been So Humble?

Xiaoxiao found a serving tray, placed the dishes on it, and was just about to leave when someone came in from outside.

The arrival was none other than the third leader of the stockade. As he entered, he shouted, "Are the dishes ready? If they’re done, hurry up and serve them. It’s time to welcome the Big Boss."

The third leader was somewhat dissatisfied, clearly having planned well, but things didn’t go according to his plan.

The Big Boss’s reaction meant that tonight’s feast was entirely a bust.

"Third Leader, everything is prepared," someone in the kitchen replied.

"Then serve the dishes," came the command.

"Got it!" the people in the kitchen responded, and immediately began bustling in and out.

There were many people in the stockade, and everyone ate together outside in an open area in the stockade.

Xiaoxiao saw everyone busy and wanted to take the dishes outside too.

But she noticed a fierce glare directed at her.

Indeed, at that moment, the third leader was glaring at her viciously. Thinking about how this woman had angered the Big Boss made him furious.

And why was she in the kitchen again? Did she really think of this place as her home?

Xiaoxiao was speechless. Had she unintentionally offended the third leader too?

She smiled awkwardly at the third leader, her expression friendly.

But the third leader ignored Xiaoxiao’s friendliness, snorted, and walked out.

Xiaoxiao didn’t bother with him anymore; her priority was to handle the Big Boss, and everything else would fall into place. Others were not on her radar.

"Big Sis, I’ll take the dishes to the Big Boss now."

"Girl..." Yuniang wanted to say that the banquet was about to start and the Big Boss would come out to eat, but the words didn’t come out.

She watched Xiaoxiao leave.

Xiaoxiao carried the tray filled with dishes to the door of the room.

She politely knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside.

Xiaoxiao knocked again twice, still no response.

Was he still angry? She decided to admit her mistake first, so she spoke up.

"Um... about the wedding attire, I’m really sorry. I thought you were still planning to marry me, so I got angry. I really didn’t know how important that wedding attire was to you. If I had known, I wouldn’t have done that."

Xiaoxiao paused, pressed her ear to the door, but heard nothing. Was the person even inside?

"You haven’t eaten all day, you must be hungry. I just made a few dishes for you in the kitchen, why don’t you come out and have some?"

Xiaoxiao waited, but the only answer was silence. Xiaoxiao was a bit annoyed; when had she ever been this humble?

"Hey, I’ve already apologized so sincerely, what more do you want?"

"Think about it from my perspective, shouldn’t I be angry? You know well that my relationship with my husband is great, yet you kept me here and sent these wedding items. If I didn’t make a fuss, that wouldn’t be me. You know me, it’s not like we just met."

"Hey, at least make some noise. I cooked for you sincerely. If you don’t want to eat, I’ll take it away."

Xiaoxiao said, pressing her ear closer to the door again, but as expected, there was no sound.

Xiaoxiao was almost in tears; all her words were in vain.

There wasn’t a single sound inside. Clearly, no one was there. Did he leave just while she went to the kitchen for a bit?
