Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

But when someone tells you, ”I’ll only tell you this, don’t tell anyone else,” it often doesn’t mean anything.

As a result, the gossip spread more and more wildly, starting from the idea that Yang Qiu was going to take a husband from the village to the rumor that Wang Kui was going to be the one.

Even though it was spread privately, there are no walls that don’t leak air.

When Wang Kui heard the news, he was so angry his nose almost got crooked.

This time, he did go out to explain and shocked everyone, trying to stop the rumor.

But the more Wang Kui acted this way, the less people believed him. On the surface, everyone was afraid of Wang Kui and didn’t dare to say a word, but in private, they still believed it was true.

Wang Kui felt very sorry about this incident, thinking it had ruined Yang Qiu’s reputation.

He awkwardly found Yang Ming, ”Store Manager...”

Wang Kui wanted to say something, but Yang Ming understood immediately, so he said, ”It’s nothing. This is not something you could control either. You just wanted to stand up for my sister. It’s not your fault, give it some time, and after a while, nobody will talk about this incident anymore.”

Even though he said this, Wang Kui still felt very guilty, wishing he hadn’t raised such a fuss initially, causing so much trouble for Yang Qiu.

Seeing Wang Kui still feeling guilty, Yang Ming added, ”Maybe in a few days, Yang Qiu will find her ideal man, and by then, the rumors will dissolve on their own.”

But those words made Wang Kui feel uncomfortable, yet he couldn’t say anything.

Yang Family’s Village

Xiaoxiao was playing in the yard with Little Liufu, and Yang Xia was playing with Little Yueyue.

Yang Ming’s mother asked, ”Third son’s wife, that Wang Kui they’re gossiping about outside, is it the same Wang Kui from the third son’s Escort Agency? Do you know?”

Xiaoxiao nodded, ”Yes, I know. Mother, you don’t believe those rumors, do you?”

You don’t even need to think about it to know they’re false. Xiaoxiao continued, ”Mother, don’t you know those people outside? They’re just spreading nonsense. This is unlikely. He was just being kind, seeing Yang Ming’s sister being gossiped about, so he spoke up. I didn’t expect such a big misunderstanding to occur.”

Xiaoxiao didn’t think too much about it, just like Yang Ming. It’s not entirely their fault either, and they can’t blame them. They can only wait, and with time, people will stop talking about it, or some other big news will cover it up. It will take some time after all.

”I know he meant well, and I don’t blame him. I’m just worried about Xiaoqiu. It’s been so long, and she still hasn’t found someone. Since Wang Kui can stand up for her like this, he must be a good person. That’s why I wanted to ask, how is he? Is he married?”

This question really stumped Xiaoxiao. She’s not familiar with Wang Kui. Yang Ming doesn’t often talk about the Escort Agency at home either. ”Mother, I really don’t know. Wang Kui seems about the same age as Yang Ming, just a bit —”

”What? Not good-looking?” Yang Ming’s mother asked, thinking that as long as he’s not an eyesore, it’s okay.

”Not really, he’s okay looking, just very burly. Standing next to Xiaoqiu, it’s really like...” How to describe it? Beauty and the Beast?

Not really, Wang Kui isn’t ugly, so Xiaoxiao rephrased it, ”Our Xiaoqiu standing next to Wang Kui, she’d probably reach up to his armpit.”
