Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

The boss’s wife looked around, saw no one, and pulled the second wife aside, saying, ”I’m afraid you’ll say something you shouldn’t later, so I wanted to remind you. Didn’t you notice? Xiaoqiu is matchmaking.”

”What?” The second wife was stunned by this.

Isn’t it just having someone over for dinner? How did it become matchmaking?

She honestly hadn’t thought in that direction. She heard the rumors about Xiaotian recently, but the family said it was all out of consideration for the third brother’s face. The person was also a victim. Now having him over for dinner seemed normal.

The main thing is that Wang Kui is tall and burly, and when standing next to Xiaoqiu, they don’t look like a match, so she didn’t think further.

Now hearing the sister-in-law say this, she was full of disbelief.

”Why do you think Xiaoqiu suddenly started dressing up? Would the clever third sister-in-law doll her up just because we have guests at home? And why does mother care so much about this dinner? Worried something might not be right? Just now, when I wanted to go in to serve tea, mother didn’t let me and specifically asked Xiaoqiu to go. Why do you think that is?”

After saying this, seeing the second sister-in-law still in a state of confusion, the boss’s wife reached out and pulled her, ”If Xiaoqiu heard what you just said, or if Wang Kui heard it, what would we do? Mother set this whole thing up, surely afraid the two wouldn’t hit it off and wanted to keep things from being awkward later. So when we go inside, don’t say a word.”

Reminded like this, the second wife immediately understood, repeatedly saying, ”Oh, oh, oh, I won’t say anything.” She was also thinking in her heart not to speak once she goes inside to avoid ruining her sister-in-law’s prospects.

They poured the tea and quickly went inside.

However, little did they know that their supposedly quiet conversation was all overheard by Wang Kui in the outhouse.

Technically, Wang Kui shouldn’t have heard them; they were speaking very softly.

However, Wang Kui had developed an excellent set of skills over the years, not inferior to those of army soldiers or generals. His hearing was exceptionally good, and since the outhouse was near the front door and not as sealed as the house, he overheard.

He stood there for a moment, not knowing what to do.

He just felt his heart pounding like never before, beating so vigorously.

So there was a deeper meaning behind the invitation for dinner?

Was it to matchmake him?

No wonder Yang Qiu dressed like that today.

No wonder indoors, the elders asked about his marital status and family.

Even when he mentioned living dangerously, the elders still entreated him like that.

Turns out, they wanted him as their son-in-law.

He couldn’t understand how he, causing so much trouble for Yang Qiu that it could affect her prospects, was not resented by the elders—they even invited him for dinner!

Could someone like him really appeal to someone?

Why did he feel like he was dreaming?

But with Yang Qiu dressing like that, she must have agreed, right?

A warmth spread in his heart. A smile tugged at his lips, wanting to curse, ”To hell with living dangerously. He also wants a wife.”

He composed himself and walked out of the outhouse, promptly meeting Yang Qiu’s gaze.

Yang Qiu called to the third sister-in-law and others to come out for dinner. Everyone tidied up before coming out. She was at the back, not expecting to meet Wang Kui head-on.

They already knew each other, and since Wang Kui arrived, apart from serving tea, they hadn’t exchanged words. Yang Qiu felt a bit embarrassed, so she smiled and said, ”Brother Wang, the dining room is this way. Follow me.”
