Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 837: Chapter 840: Stay at My HouseHearing the voice, Yang Ming’s eyes lit up, and he immediately turned around to see a boy about seven or eight years old.

While he was dazed, the little boy asked again, ”Uncle, if I let you stay at our home, will you pay silver?”

”Yes, I will definitely pay silver.”

Hearing Yang Ming’s affirmative answer, the boy’s face lit up with joy, ”Then uncle, you can stay at my house.”

”Then where is your home, so uncle can drive the carriage over.”

”Uncle, I’ll take you there.”

Xiaoxiao waited for quite a long time without seeing Yang Ming return, and realized that finding accommodation might not work out. She thought if things didn’t work out, they could just move on to the next village for accommodation.

Feeling anxious from waiting, she got off the carriage with the baby and paced back and forth along the roadside, thinking that if she ran into villagers, she might as well inquire.

But the situation was the same as Yang Ming’s; as soon as she mentioned accommodation, no one paid her any mind. Later, when she stopped mentioning accommodation and only inquired about the whereabouts of the Divine Doctor Xue, she still couldn’t find anything.

Just when she was feeling disappointed, she saw Yang Ming returning hand in hand with a small child. She didn’t know who the child Yang Ming was holding was, but her heart was filled with joy, as Yang Ming must have found someone willing to provide accommodation.

Xiaoxiao waved to Yang Ming and asked, ”Honey, did you find a place to stay?”

Yang Ming nodded, ”Yes, I found it.” He then looked at the little child next to him and said, ”We’re staying at his house.”

The child looked at Xiaoxiao and said, ”Auntie, I’ll take you to my house.”

Just as Xiaoxiao thought, they were going to stay at this child’s home. Xiaoxiao asked, ”Little friend, thank you for willing to take us in. What’s your name?”

”Auntie, everyone calls me Little Shitou,” the child replied.

After exchanging a few words, Yang Ming urged, ”Dear, get on the carriage quickly, let’s go.”

”Okay.” Then Xiaoxiao got on the carriage holding Little Liufu.

Yang Ming and Little Shitou sat in the front to drive the carriage since Little Shitou needed to give directions. Xiaoxiao, seated inside, heard Little Liufu say from the front, ”Uncle, is this the carriage you mentioned? It’s so beautiful, it’s my first time seeing one.”

”Little Shitou, have you never seen a carriage before?” Yang Ming asked.

”No, in our village, there are no carriages. This is the first time a carriage has come into the village.”

”...” Hearing these words, Yang Ming felt a twinge of sadness in his heart, as Little Shitou probably never ventured out, so he’d never seen a carriage.

Regarding this village, he had just roughly looked around; every household had mud houses, much like those in the Yang Family Village, but it was far more remote than the Yang Family Village.

It could be said to be a complete backwater. The Yang Family Village, at least, was close to the county, making earning silver somewhat easier. The villagers here probably lived even more poorly than those in the Yang Family Village.

As Yang Ming was thinking this, he heard Little Shitou’s voice, ”Uncle, when we arrive at my house later, could you not mention to my mom about me accepting your silver?”

”Hmm?”

”If my mom finds out, she’ll definitely scold me, I’m begging you.” Little Shitou pleaded.

”Okay, we won’t say anything,” Yang Ming agreed. Anyone who could provide them a place to stay wasn’t easy to come by, and from the looks of this child, he probably had some unspeakable reasons.

”Thank you, uncle.”

A moment later, Little Shitou shouted, ”Uncle, the house up ahead is mine.”
