Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 1077: Chapter 1079: Have Your Wife Help Convince An’an for Me”It’s nothing.”

What else could Xue Zhiyi say? He could guess why An’an had such an attitude. It was all his own doing. He’d find another opportunity to explain later. Right now, the most important thing was to go up the mountain to gather herbs.

”Uncle An, although I’m a bandit from that mountain, you all don’t need to be afraid. We haven’t done anything bad, nor have we robbed anyone. We all make a living by hunting; the mountains have plenty of wild animals to sustain us.”

”This...”

”...” Xue Zhiyi felt a bit uneasy inside. Perhaps he shouldn’t have said that. Did he scare them? Was the relationship he painstakingly built about to break?

Old An felt a little saddened. How could a good Divine Doctor end up becoming a bandit on the mountain? It must be because of their family. He couldn’t help but kindly suggest, ”Xiaoxue, that mountain with many beasts is truly dangerous. Why don’t you all come down?”

Upon hearing this, Xue Zhiyi felt relieved. As long as they weren’t afraid. ”I don’t always go up the mountain. The brothers are skilled, and there won’t be any danger. Don’t worry.”

Old An nodded, realizing that Xue Zhiyi was a person with grand ambitions and was not someone he could sway, so he stopped trying to persuade him.

”No need to bring An Quan up the mountain. I’ll find some brothers to go herb gathering with me. There won’t be any issues.” With that said, Xue Zhiyi stood up, ”I’ll leave first and will return once I find the herbs.”

The family nodded, and Xue Zhiyi headed outside. At this time, Yang Ming stood up and said, ”I’ll go with you.”

Yang Ming gave his wife a glance, then followed him out.

The mountain wasn’t far from Anyi Village, so they went on foot. Actually, Xue Zhiyi didn’t want to bring Yang Ming along, hoping to have a few words with him alone.

On the way, Yang Ming remained silent as he was not a talkative person, and he didn’t know what to say. Still, Xue Zhiyi was the first to speak, directly addressing Yang Ming by name, ”Yang Ming, regarding your wife, I had no intention of doing anything to her. I was only disguising myself to hide my identity in Anding Village, but unexpectedly, I ran into you several times afterward. I had no choice but to continue pretending so you wouldn’t sense anything amiss.”

”I know!” Yang Ming had already realized something was off, but he never imagined it would come to this.

”...” Did this mean he wasn’t convincing in his act? Well, it was certainly exhausting to keep pretending. ”Rest assured, such a thing will never happen again.”

”Mm.” Yang Ming agreed, thinking that he had already given him a good beating, enough to vent his anger. So let this matter end here.

Moments later, Xue Zhiyi spoke again, ”Yang Ming, could you ask your wife to help persuade An’an, so she won’t misunderstand me so much? She’s angry with me, believing that my actions towards your wife wronged her sister.”

Xue Zhiyi pondered a bit, realizing he needed a mediator. He hadn’t managed to resolve it on his own along the way, and now the situation had worsened.

”...” Yang Ming was speechless. It was all self-inflicted. Did he really have to disguise like that while hiding his identity? Such a peculiar act.

However, he could tell that Xue Zhiyi genuinely valued the An Family. Once he entered the An’s courtyard, his emotions were undeniable. He was truly sincere, and since he had changed for the better, Yang Ming decided to help him out. Thus, he nodded in agreement, ”Alright, I’ll talk to my wife when we get back.”
