Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Releasing the Tiger Back into the Mountains Brings Endless Troubles Li Residence

”Young master, Li Fugui has gone to the Bookstore to pick up the book copying work!” Li Fuyou’s confidant immediately reported to his master upon receiving the news.

”So soon? I thought he would take a few days to recover from his illness!” Li Fuyou was taken aback, he really hadn’t expected that good brother to get back on his feet so quickly, was it because of that little maid? It seems the blow wasn’t severe enough!

”Young master, should we...?”

Li Fuyou revealed a sinister smile, then spoke, ”No need, let him copy for a few days first. You go cut off the little maid’s sources of income!”

”Yes, young master.”

Yang Family Village, Yang Ming’s home

”Yang Ming, Li Fugui had it pretty bad this time, if we get the chance, we should still help him out.”

”...” His wife was so kind to everyone, but their relationship with Li Fugui was terrible. However, he felt she was right, he wanted to help too, ”Mhm!”

”You hear what’s spreading down the main street! I can tell there’s something fishy about it.”

”What fishy business?”

”That second young master of the Li family! He’s clearly seized the family property and still received praise, don’t you think it’s strange?”

”...”

”Li Fugui must have become a casualty in the fight for the estate. With him being such a simpleton, how could he vie for any property!”

”...” Was Li Fugui really that bad? His wife’s words painted him as utterly worthless!

”But the second young master made a mistake!”

”What mistake?”

”Haven’t you heard the saying, ’A tiger released back into the mountain will be a perpetual threat’? It remains to be seen if Li Fugui is that tiger! But judging by his performance today, I think he has the potential to become one!”

”...” Just a moment ago, Li Fugui was belittled to nothing, and now he has the potential to become a tiger?

”That second young master must be some kind of twisted psychopath!”

”Why’s that?” He realized his wife had a knack for analyzing problems as if she had experienced many things, and it seemed everything she said made sense.

”He could have just let Li Fugui join the army and be done with it! But he had him released, there’s only one reason for that—he wants Li Fugui to suffer all the miseries of the world under his watchful eye, and without a doubt, he will put obstacles in his way at every turn! Isn’t that a twisted mind?”

Upon hearing his wife’s words, Yang Ming felt they made a lot of sense.

”Let’s wait and see how things unfold. We’ll help if we can, but with the second young master being so dangerous, we’d better not get involved!”

Yang Ming also had his concerns, for such a dangerous person, it was better for his wife to keep her distance.

The poisoned pickles incident thus came to an end, and the greatest satisfaction came from knowing that the family who bullied Yang Qiu had been enlisted and couldn’t return.

Xiaoxiao started researching vests and underpants these past few days, as the partnership with Wang Xiangxiang would begin after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and she had to show some real skills. Although she couldn’t draw other designs, she could draw underpants.

”Yang Ming, make me a charcoal pencil; I need to draw a few designs!”

”...” She could draw? He was curious to see what she would sketch!

But when he saw them, he was taken aback; they looked so much like the underpants she had made for him!

”What’s this on the side?” he asked shamelessly, pointing at the drawing!

”Oh! These are women’s underpants, the couple’s matching type! It’s something the husband and wife wear together, a pair!” Xiaoxiao replied nonchalantly.

”...” Husband and wife? A pair! His eyes unconsciously glanced at his wife; was she wearing them?
