Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 1387: Chapter 1389: Two Major Events in One DaySince the matter has been settled, everything proceeded quickly.

The next day, the mother and daughter went to town to buy all the necessary things, and upon returning, the Yang Family elders took Matchmaker Yang to visit Xiaocui’s house again.

The two sides exchanged gifts, and the matter between Yang Dong and Xiaocui was also settled. As for when they would marry, Yang’s father was cautious and suggested waiting until Xiaocui turns sixteen.

After all, the two kids didn’t really know each other; they were brought together by a tree collision, so there’s no rush.

Initially, Aunt Lan Hua disagreed, thinking it would be better to marry her daughter off early, as it would mean one less mouth to feed. Also, marrying early would allow her daughter to help the family make silver.

But Yang’s father insisted, saying the children were still young, especially Xiaocui, who looked quite young. If she married, it might not be good for childbirth, so it would be better to wait a couple of years.

Aunt Lan Hua couldn’t argue and reluctantly agreed to wait until her daughter was of age.

After concluding the matter, they began using ox carts and horse carts to transport hazelnuts to the Yang Family.

They even specifically sought out the Village Chief to write a document. After all, he’s the Village Chief and knows a few words. Though not as neat as a scholar’s handwriting, it was crooked, but decent enough in the countryside, and good for use.

After pressing the handprint, Aunt Lan Hua received five taels of silver, gaining a total of eleven taels in one day. Including the money from selling medicine previously, she now had twelve taels in hand, which was a lot in the countryside. She straightened her back and happily returned.

The Village Chief initially thought, with the Lan Hua family having a grudge with the Yang Family, it caused the Yang Family not to buy the mountain, and if anything happened to Lan Hua’s family, he wouldn’t assist them.

But now, the two families became in-laws. In the end, only he was unlucky, as the mountain sale did not go through, directly affecting his election to village head. With the election approaching, he had to rethink how to proceed with the Yang Family buying the mountain. With these thoughts, he left.

Within one day, two major events naturally spread, leading to villagers gossiping.

”Didn’t expect this to happen, did it?”

”Exactly, even those hard nuts were transported to the Yang Family. I heard from the Village Chief’s family that the Yang Family spent five taels of silver to buy them.”

”What? Why did the Yang Family spend silver on that?”

”The two families are relatives now; maybe that was Aunt Lan Hua’s condition.”

”Hmm, you might be right, haha. But who would’ve thought Xiaocui and Yang Dong would actually work out?”

”Unbelievable, truly.”

”Exactly, they don’t seem a good match, but that’s their family matter. Yang Ming and his wife don’t even know, and they’d surely be surprised when they find out.”

”Those two don’t have time for this. I heard that trouble happened at Yang Ming’s wife’s family; someone died at Stone Mountain and got taken to the government office but was released. Now the Stone Mountain is being parceled out, and many have claimed parts, even people from other villages. But we’re a bit far, otherwise we could’ve made some silver too.”

”What do you mean, parceling out the mountain? Tell me more.”

”...”
