Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Li Family in Stone Village

As soon as Li Chuntao got off the carriage, her mother came up to meet her. "Daughter, how did it go?"

Li Chuntao was a bit speechless. Hadn’t they already decided it was just going through the motions, and they’d talk about the marriage later? Why was her mother still so full of hope, like she thought it might actually work out.

Before she could speak, her third brother spoke first. "Ma, we went just to fob them off, what else could it be!"

Seeing this, Chuntao’s mother didn’t say anything more. In theory that was how it was, but it was still a meeting a prospective match after all. What if the other party turned out to be a good person? She couldn’t help asking. But seeing her daughter and son’s attitude, the other side probably wasn’t anything great either, so she dropped it.

"Then hurry inside, I made meat for you. Go eat, quick."

The few of them went into the house like that, and it happened to be mealtime.

Li Chuntao simply washed her hands and came to the table. Seeing the whole table full of meat, she was overjoyed. She didn’t know why, it just felt like she hadn’t eaten meat in a long time. She couldn’t get enough of it, and it even tasted better than before.

Looking at all this good food, she tossed that little incident to the back of her mind, picked up her chopsticks, and started eating big mouthfuls.

Seeing her daughter like this, Chuntao’s mother was over the moon. A girl should be like this—how can you stop eating meat just to slim down? If you don’t eat meat, what joy is there left in life?

Thinking about it now, her daughter losing her memory wasn’t so bad. At least she started eating meat again. These days she’d been nourishing her daughter like crazy. Look at her—seems like she’s put on a bit of flesh again.

Thinking of this, Chuntao’s mother picked up a piece of fatty meat and put it in her daughter’s bowl, afraid she wasn’t eating enough.

On this side, Chuntao’s mother was all happy because her daughter was eating meat.

But Alu, off to the side, was a bit gloomy. If Miss kept eating like this, wouldn’t all their previous efforts be wasted?

And the doctor had specially warned them that if this went on, she’d gain the weight back.

How come after Miss lost her memory, she didn’t care about any of this anymore?

Earlier she’d wanted to remind her on purpose, but Madam said Miss was injured and needed tonics, so she had to swallow it. But now Miss’s injuries were all healed; there was no need to keep stuffing her like this.

Madam didn’t treat her like an outsider either, letting her sit at the table to eat, and it was all meat too. She even tried to brainwash her, wanting to fatten her up as well. Alu felt that if this went on, she really might end up brainwashed.

She thought to herself that she still had to find a chance to remind Miss. She really couldn’t keep eating like this.

So many people were coming to propose now all because Miss had turned into a beauty. If she got fat again, those proposals might disappear.

By then, Miss’s marriage would become a huge headache all over again.

So at her young age, Alu had already turned into a worried old housekeeper in advance.

There wasn’t much to do in winter anyway, and the Li Family didn’t have much work to do to begin with, so everyone was relaxed. After eating, Li Chuntao squeezed into a room with a few sisters-in-law to do some needlework and chat about this and that to pass the time.

Suddenly they heard someone come into the yard.

"Auntie Li, Uncle Li, are you home?"

When Li Chuntao heard it, she knew it was Xiaoxiao’s voice. She immediately stood up and went out. "Xiaoxiao, you’re back?"

Seeing how energetic Li Chuntao looked, Xiaoxiao was relieved. "Mm, the three of us came back to my parents’ place, and we thought we’d come see how you were doing. Looking at you, you seem pretty lively, so you must be fine."

As Xiaoxiao spoke, she pulled Yang Ming over and said, "Oh right, this is my husband, Yang Ming."
