Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 384: Chapter 384: Wife, don’t cry, I agree At the entrance to Xiawa Village.

Yang Wuzhu and his wife watched their nephew and his wife leave and were reluctant to return for a long time, feeling a complex mix of emotions.

It took a while before Yang Wuzhu finally spoke, ”Wife, you go back first, I’m going to look for some helpers at the villagers’ homes.”

”Yes.”

The living standards in Xiawa Village were slightly poorer than in the Yang Family Village. When they heard Yang Wuzhu was looking for people to dig the ground, offering twenty wen a day with meals, and payment settled daily, they all readily agreed.

It didn’t take long before fifty people were gathered, just waiting for Yang Wuzhu to lead them to the fields the next day.

Yang Wuzhu was in especially good spirits today; after all, it had been a long time since he had seen his relatives. He was somewhat excited and drank a couple more glasses at dinner.

As soon as Yang Wuzhu’s wife returned home, she prepared the Sobriety Soup. Seeing her husband return, she immediately brought it to him and anxiously asked, ”Husband, is everything taken care of?”

Yang Wuzhu took the Sobriety Soup and gulped it down, ”Yes, everything’s taken care of. Don’t worry, wife.”

Hearing this, Yang Wuzhu’s wife was relieved. After all, Yang Ming and his wife had asked them for a favor for the first time; they couldn’t afford any mistakes.

Afterwards, she fetched water for her husband, cared for him as he washed up, handled everything, and then the two of them lay on the heated brick bed, chatting idly.

”Husband, may I discuss something with you?” she began as soon as they lay down.

”What is it?”

”Could we stop going to the distillery to work?”

Ever since the niece-in-law had mentioned it, she had been overjoyed. She desperately wanted a child, and even if it wasn’t certain, she wanted to try.

She knew her husband felt bad about not contributing to the household, which is why he sought work. He would definitely be angry, but the matter of having a child was paramount, so she gathered her courage to speak.

Upon hearing this, Yang Wuzhu frowned. Why would his wife suddenly bring this up? She clearly knew why he had to work.

”Today, the niece-in-law told me about the days of the month when it’s easier to conceive a child.”

”...” Yang Wuzhu didn’t respond, listening as his wife continued.

”The days she mentioned are exactly the days when you are not at home. Maybe if you were home, we could conceive.”

”...” Yang Wuzhu was stunned by her words. What had his niece-in-law filled his wife’s head with, discussing such a delicate topic?

He didn’t believe a word of it. Whether or not they could conceive had nothing to do with which days they were intimate; his wife must have been misled by the niece-in-law.

”Wife, you are the elder. How can you discuss such matters with the niece-in-law? It’s not proper.”

No sooner had he spoken than his wife flung off the covers, sat up, and yelled, ”You say it’s improper, but whom am I doing this for? Isn’t it all for the sake of us having a child?”

After shouting, she started sobbing mournfully, ”Wuu, wuu.”

Seeing his wife cry over the matter of a child again, he immediately sat up and embraced her, ”Wife, don’t cry.”

Yang Wuzhu’s wife continued sobbing, ”Wuu!”

”...” Yang Wuzhu had originally thought that maybe his niece-in-law had some exceptional insight, and had wanted her to help with something.

But now it seemed that his niece-in-law was unreliable, feeding his wife all kinds of nonsensical ideas, raising her hopes then dashing them again.

Yet his wife had been despondent over this issue for days. If this new hope made her happy, he was willing to support it.

So he held his wife close, ”Wife, don’t cry anymore, I agree.”
