Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 1390: Chapter 1392: Forget About What We Talked About BeforeXiaoxiao didn’t expect that during her stay at her parents’ home, such an event would occur at her own house.

Since Yang Dong is already engaged, Li Chuntao’s situation would have to be let go; perhaps it simply wasn’t meant to be.

She couldn’t disrupt Yang Dong’s engagement just for Li Chuntao’s sake.

After all, no one knew if Li Chuntao and Yang Dong would truly match.

As a sister-in-law, it would be overstepping for her to interfere.

Moreover, the family had tried advising Yang Dong, and since it’s his own decision, they would respect it. After all, it’s his path to walk, his life to live, and he’s no longer a child.

If this path turns out well, everybody would be happy. If not, it would just be a part of his life’s experiences, after all, only through experiences can one grow.

Moreover, she didn’t know much about Yang Xiaocui, and couldn’t dismiss her just because of Aunt Lan Hua. They’d see how things turn out; she might be a good person, after all.

After all, it’s just an engagement, not a marriage. Even if it turns into marriage, there’s always divorce.

However, this incident did make Xiaoxiao realize that Yang Dong also had his opinions.

He was clever enough to buy those hazelnuts, and judging by Second Sister-in-law’s vivid storytelling, he handled Aunt Lan Hua with both toughness and fairness.

Given this, she decided to proceed with buying the mountain and stop keeping the Village Chief on hold.

Seeing Second Sister-in-law’s indignant look, Xiaoxiao could imagine how she was at that time. Since the other family members were rather straightforward, it naturally fell on her to speak up. She calmly said, ”Second Sister-in-law, don’t be angry; things are already like this, so let’s just leave it at that. After all, it’s just an engagement. We’ll have more opportunities in the future to interact with Yang Xiaocui and get to know what she’s really like. No rush on this matter.”

Zhong Dalong didn’t stay long before departing, as he was in a hurry to go back. After all, they had just started operating Stone Mountain, and there was plenty to be done.

Yang Ming’s mother, aware of the many affairs at the in-laws’ house, didn’t insist on him staying.

Xiaoxiao asked Zhong Dalong to pass a message to Chuntao’s mother, just to tell her that the previous proposal was off.

Since it was a non-starter, it was better not to publicize it. Even with her own brother, Xiaoxiao didn’t go into detail. A simple word like that would suffice for Chuntao’s mother to understand.

After Zhong Dalong left, Xiaoxiao finally returned to her room with her child.

Seeing the lock on the door, Xiaoxiao smiled. Yang Ming was efficient, as she’d asked him to get a lock, and he had already installed it.

She recalled a tweet she’d seen once, where a woman was complaining about her husband.

Woman: Honey, the water’s boiling.

The man came to check: Yes, it is boiling.

Woman: So, what are you doing? Turn off the stove!

The man turned off the flame and returned.

Woman: Aren’t you going to pour the water into the thermos?

Man: You should have told me all at once; now I’ve had to make three trips.

Woman: Isn’t it obvious? When I say the water’s boiling, it means to turn off the stove and pour the water. Just like when I say dinner’s ready, you come to eat directly, don’t you? Or would you just come for a look, say yes, it’s ready, and wait for me to call you to get chopsticks before you start eating?

Back then, many users commented that it was already good enough that he went. Their husbands wouldn’t even move, just saying, ”You go, you do it.”

Thinking of this, Xiaoxiao’s smile grew wider; she thought she’d found herself a good husband.

But she wondered when he could come back. During the busy farming season, neither of them had helped out with the family’s work, which seemed a bit much. Luckily, her family was understanding and didn’t hold a grudge.

She got the key from her mother-in-law before finally retreating into the room with her child.
