Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Yang Dong also wanted to go along, but it wasn’t appropriate, so he had to stay home and wait.

It was already winter by now, and it was very cold outside!

Fortunately, the Yang Family was doing fairly well now, they used a lot of firewood, and the house was warm.

Moreover, since Yang Ming was at home recuperating, Yang Dong went to his room, thinking his third brother could teach him some characters and calm his nerves.

However, learning characters wasn’t working for Yang Dong at this moment; he couldn’t calm his mind at all.

Noticing Yang Dong’s absentmindedness—standing up to look outside and making a mess with the ink—Yang Ming said, "Fourth Brother, don’t worry, Father and they will be back soon."

In his heart, he thought that after being away for two months, his younger brother had grown up and begun to understand the matters of the heart.

Xiaoxiao was by the side with Little Liufu and also advised, "They left in the morning, and now the sky is almost dark, and they still haven’t returned. It’s probably a success, so they stayed for dinner, which is why they’re late. So don’t worry, they’ll probably be back soon."

Yang Dong just hummed in response, didn’t say more, but indeed couldn’t continue with the characters.

So he thought of going out, but just at that moment, the sound of the yard door opened up.

Hearing the noise of the yard door, Yang Dong rushed out immediately.

Leaving behind a, ’They seem to be back, I’ll go take a look,’ to Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming.

Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming exchanged smiles, this fourth brother was understandably anxious.

"Let’s go and have a look too."

Xiaoxiao wrapped Little Liufu properly because it was cold outside and they were afraid he would catch cold; once ready, the two of them went out.

Once they stepped outside, they saw the dejected Yang Dong entering the courtyard, and both thought to themselves, this thing probably didn’t work out.

The family entered the house just like that.

After entering the house, Old Yang sighed, "This marriage proposal is probably not going to be easy."

"Father, tell us, what happened after all?" Xiaoxiao asked.

"The Li Family rejected our marriage proposal, saying it was Chuntao’s intention."

Actually, Xiaoxiao wasn’t surprised by such a result because when she talked to Li Chuntao before, she vaguely felt that the marriage might not be so easy, as Li Chuntao had lost her memory and didn’t remember Yang Dong.

"Fourth Brother, don’t get upset. Chuntao has amnesia and doesn’t remember you, so that’s a normal response. Don’t worry; her school is still here, so she’ll definitely come again. By then, your third sister-in-law will arrange for you to meet more often. Maybe she’ll fall for you again."

Xiaoxiao tried to console, but Old Yang sighed again, "Ah, third daughter-in-law, I’m afraid it’s not possible."

"Father, what’s the matter?" Xiaoxiao asked puzzled.

"Not only our family brought matchmakers today, but many matchmakers came. The Li Family directly rejected our proposal, but it’s heard they are considering others."

"..." Huh, what’s the situation?

This turn of events was astonishing, indeed causing some bewilderment. She expected the proposal might not be accepted but didn’t imagine the Li Family was selecting a bridegroom for Li Chuntao.

"Father, then why are you so late returning?"

Old Yang continued, "Wasn’t I trying to find out more about this matter? So I went to your house and sat for the afternoon, and I heard after they went back, matchmakers never stopped going to the Li Family. But your mother said Li Chuntao is still selecting, hasn’t found anyone satisfactory yet, so our Fourth still has a chance. And that is why I’ve returned to discuss with you all, what should we do about this matter?"
