Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 202: Chapter 202: Scholars are Humans Too, They Also Need to Coax Their Wives ”Little sister, if it’s not about that, then what’s been going on with you these days?” The eldest sister-in-law asked with concern.

”...” Should she say it? If she didn’t, she felt she would suffocate. Her mood was so oppressive every day, and she really wanted to talk to someone about it, but didn’t understand what was wrong with her.

”It’s just Yang Ming stood me up. He said we’d have lunch together these past few days, but he never showed up.”

Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and finally spoke her mind, feeling relieved.

”...” That’s it? That’s hardly a big deal. So what if he didn’t come? It seems this little sister really has a thing for the third brother. Despite his shortcomings, she’s so enamored with him.

”Pfft, hahaha!” The second sister-in-law couldn’t help but burst into laughter at Xiaoxiao’s behavior, finding her pouting and looking angry quite adorable. It’s just too bad that the third brother isn’t up to par, ”That’s what you’ve been upset over for days?”

”Standing me up is a minor thing?” Xiaoxiao pouted, clearly unhappy.

”Hahaha! Eldest sister-in-law, look at her.” The second sister-in-law laughed incessantly, foreseeing a challenging future for the third brother.

”Little sister, if he didn’t go, then he didn’t. Don’t starve yourself over it. Maybe he’s been busy at the Academy, right? He’s coming back on the first of next month anyway!”

Xiaoxiao was clearly not swayed by the eldest sister-in-law’s words.

”Then why don’t you go see him tomorrow and ask?” Seeing the little sister like this, the second sister-in-law stopped laughing and put forth a suggestion.

”Go see him? I’m supposed to be aloof!”

”...” Aloof? What’s that supposed to mean? The little sister was using words they didn’t understand.

”So what do you want to do? You’re not seriously expecting him to apologize to you, are you?” The second sister-in-law said offhandedly.

But Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, ”Second sister-in-law, that’s a great idea.”

The second sister-in-law hastily responded, ”Little sister, do you really expect the Scholar to apologize to you?”

”What’s wrong with the Scholar? The Scholar is human too, he needs to coax his wife.”

The words escaped Xiaoxiao’s mouth without thought, but as soon as she said them, she froze, face turning as red as a cooked shrimp. What was she saying? She had unwittingly cast herself as the budget husband’s wife, and her face burned with embarrassment.

”Right, right, you’re the Scholar’s wife, he should pamper you. Let us, your sisters-in-law, coddle you on behalf of the third brother, okay?” The second sister-in-law teased as she saw the red-faced little sister.

”Scholar’s wife, don’t be angry.” The second sister-in-law said while performing a gesture of respect, something she must have picked up from somewhere.

”...”

The eldest sister-in-law, seeing the comical manner of the second sister-in-law, also chuckled along.

”Alright then, since the eldest and the second sister-in-law have pleaded on his behalf, I won’t be angry anymore,” Xiaoxiao declared, feigning composure to cover up her earlier lapse.

”Now that I’m fine, you should hurry back. The eldest and second brothers must be waiting, hmm?”

Having been teased, she was determined to get back at them someday. She ushered the eldest and second sister-in-law out the door.

After sending off the eldest and second sister-in-law, Xiaoxiao took a deep breath. She could only feel that her heart rate was irregular. What had she been doing these days?

Behaving like a petty woman, throwing a tantrum when it was clear he had been driven off by her, wasn’t it normal not to come for the meal?

And still, she couldn’t let it go. She felt her intelligence was obviously not keeping up, having learned to be unreasonably demanding.

Was this proving that saying, ”A woman in love has a negative IQ”?

Was she in love? Had she fallen for the budget husband?

At this moment, her mind was a mess. What was liking someone even supposed to feel like? Not long ago, she was still earnestly teaching her younger brother, but when it came to herself, she was totally confused.
