Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

So that’s what it is, he’s gone to make literacy cards for the children. He knows about these literacy cards because his third sister-in-law mentioned them at home.

Thinking of Li Chuntao’s Hope Academy, Yang Dong couldn’t help but admire her from the bottom of his heart. Such a young woman, being able to achieve this, is truly remarkable.

Yang Dong unhesitatingly blurted out, ”I’m really impressed by you.”

”...” This kind of comment made Li Chuntao pause slightly. Admire her? How so?

Admire her for going to town alone to inquire about this matter?

Seeing Li Chuntao’s confused expression, Yang Dong realized he hadn’t made himself clear, and saying something like that so abruptly was indeed a bit sudden, so he quickly explained, ”I mean about Hope Academy. I’m really impressed by you.”

Being praised like this by Yang Dong, Li Chuntao felt quite embarrassed, ”I haven’t really done anything, it’s all Xiaoxiao’s credit. She was the one who came up with all the ideas.”

Yang Dong knew about the Academy, much of it was his third sister-in-law’s planning, but the class for learning female arts was suggested by Li Chuntao. She wasn’t as useless as she described herself. She had her own ideas, and that’s what he admired about her.

Moreover, no matter how much advice his third sister-in-law gave, a young woman starting an academy is already quite impressive. She wasn’t just opening an academy; she also taught the children from time to time. She wasn’t someone who knew nothing.

According to his second sister-in-law, Li Chuntao was really too humble. ”There’s undeniably your contribution in this too.”

Hearing Yang Dong compliment her like this, Li Chuntao felt elated inside. She thought she had left a good impression on Yang Dong. If it weren’t for the presence of Yang Xiaocui, perhaps Yang Dong might take notice of her.

Thinking about this, she said, ”Let’s not talk about me, let’s talk about you instead. It’s pretty boring on the road anyway, consider it a way to pass the time.”

Yang Dong didn’t expect Li Chuntao to ask him to talk about himself. He didn’t know where to start, and his life had been quite boring. Would Li Chuntao even be interested in his affairs?

”Talk about me? My life has been pretty bland over the years, not much to say.”

Hearing this, Li Chuntao felt a bit despondent. She felt Yang Dong seemed unwilling to talk to her, but it didn’t matter. She was about to speak when she heard Yang Dong say, ”What do you want to know? Why don’t you ask?”

This kind of statement instantly made Li Chuntao’s previously disheartened heart leap with joy. Did this mean he was willing to talk to her and share his life with her?

Could she then boldly ask her question?

With a smile on her face and a gossiping expression, she began to ask, ”After I came to this village, I’ve heard a lot of rumors about you. They say you used to see many girls, but none were good enough for you, and you were quite picky. But in the end, you were forced into marriage. Can you tell me what you were thinking at that time? Why did you agree to this marriage? Of all the girls, you didn’t like any, but did you agree because you had your eye on Yang Xiaocui next door?”

Li Chuntao asked all of this directly. This was a question she had been curious about for a long time, wanting to know what Yang Dong really thought.

However, given her relationship with Yang Dong, it wasn’t appropriate to ask such a question. But today, for the sake of reminding Yang Dong, she boldly asked. She actually didn’t expect him to answer.
