Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

In the blink of an eye, deep winter has arrived, and heavy snowflakes are falling outside, making it too cold for anyone to want to venture outdoors.

Yang Ming’s wound is no longer a serious issue. Originally planning to go to the academy in spring, he decided against running all over with the escort agency due to his injury and returned to the academy for classes instead. After all, he hasn’t forgotten his wife’s wish for him to become the Top Scholar.

Yang Ming’s mother also returned from Lin County. It is said that the little girl has grown beautifully, becoming more and more adorable, weighing twelve pounds in just over a month. She eats and sleeps well, which makes Xiaotian much less stressed. Everyone says daughters are their mother’s intimate little cotton jackets, and this is certainly true.

Wang Xiangxiang’s belly is on the verge of bursting, and it’s estimated the little one will arrive at the end of the year or after, perhaps even on New Year’s Day. The Chu Family is quite anxious, always at her side. It’s said that due to Wang Xiangxiang’s pregnancy, they don’t plan to return to their hometown this year.

The pickled cabbage, bean sprouts, and sauerkraut from the elder uncle, third uncle, and fourth uncle’s families are supplied to Yuelai Restaurant, and each family has earned quite a bit of Silver. The third uncle’s family is even more impressive. As per Xiaoxiao’s description, they have developed soy skin, tofu puffs, and dried tofu products. Though they’re not perfect yet, they’re about fifty percent right. But it shouldn’t take long before they reach seventy percent accuracy, and in a place like this, seventy percent accuracy is good enough to make a splash.

Yangqiu Town’s cloth shop is bustling with business, and the personality of the workers has become much more lively.

Nowadays, the eldest and second sisters-in-law are not as busy as before. They go to the workshop during the day to help supervise things and mostly just cook at home, without other tasks. Each has gained a few pounds, and their mother-in-law has given them the task of nourishing themselves well to welcome new members to the family, as there aren’t enough children, and they must have more.

The surface of the fish pond has formed a thick layer of ice, though it doesn’t affect fishing at all. Shanshi County only has this one fish pond, and business has always been in high demand.

The Angling Garden is taking shape; the houses around it are already built, and the fencing is completed. Come spring next year, it can officially start operating.

Several simple houses have been constructed around the base of the mountains, and people have been hired to guard the area to prevent improper cutting and destruction of the Hazelnut Trees.

Everyone is bustling about with their own little lives.

Yang Dong stepped in from the snow outside, saying, "Third sister-in-law, I brought the hazelnuts as you requested."

"Ah, good, let’s try roasting the hazelnuts."

The quantity of hazelnuts isn’t much, so Xiaoxiao wasn’t in urgent need and only started processing them now, planning to sell them after the New Year.

Since returning from Stone Village, Yang Dong has been helping with family chores. Although Li Chuntao hasn’t visited Yang Family Village, he isn’t worried anymore, since the Li Family agreed not to choose a husband for her, and Li Chuntao herself said she would come. He would give her time and wait for her to come.

Moreover, he couldn’t be idle all day; he had to find something to do. Otherwise, even if she came, the gap between them might still make it unlikely he could match her.

To the third sister-in-law, he said, "Sure thing."

Then he went back outside to fetch some firewood.

Seeing Yang Dong like this, Xiaoxiao felt very gratified. Though romance is important, one can’t be so lost that one neglects to eat or work. Fortunately, Yang Dong understands this well and has become more diligent than before.

Yang Dong brought the firewood into the house and said, "Third sister-in-law, tell me how to do it! I will do it."
