Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

It was just dinner time, and the dishes were already on the table.

Yang Dong quickly washed up, and everyone sat down for dinner.

Since everyone knew about Yang Dong renting a shop, they were all definitely waiting to hear from him, so every eye was fixed on Yang Dong.

Yang Dong certainly understood what his family meant, so before they could ask, he explained, "I didn’t rent a shop, I found a nice one, it’s a grocery store, the shopkeeper is in desperate need of money. It’s a storefront with a small courtyard in the back, and it comes with all the goods in the store and the supply channels. Altogether, it cost 230 taels. I thought it was a good deal, so I decided to buy it without consulting you all."

After Yang Dong finished speaking, he took out the land deed and showed it to everyone.

The moment he said this, everyone was shocked; the guts on the fourth child were too big! It was more than 200 taels of silver, and he bought it just like that without discussing it with the family?

The land deed quickly passed from hand to hand among everyone.

When it got to the second sister-in-law’s hands, she spoke up, "Is this real? I can’t read well, third sister-in-law, take a look."

Xiaoxiao took the land deed; the black text on white paper was quite clear, and it had the government office’s official seal on it, so it seemed unlikely to be wrong.

While everyone was busy with the land deed, Yang Dong explained, "I have been wandering around the county town for several days, and I know the general prices for shops. Usually, transferring a shop costs three to four hundred taels, and renting a shop, even for the worst case, costs dozens of taels a year. Over a few years, it would cost the same money. It’s better to just buy it, and the shop would be ours. If we can’t run the business, we could rent it out in the future and still make dozens of taels a year, so we wouldn’t lose out. That’s why I made the decision on my own to buy it."

Xiaoxiao was all smiles as Yang Dong said these things; what he said made a lot of sense. Otherwise, why do those modern people speculate in real estate? "This land deed is real."

Seeing this, Father Yang spoke up, "Since that’s the case, fourth son, do your best, and if you need any help, just ask your elder brothers and sisters-in-law."

"Got it, dad," replied Yang Dong, which concluded the matter just like that.

Yang Ming looked at Yang Dong, thinking that his younger brother had really grown up. His wife was right; some things should just be left to them to handle. They’re not incapable, on the contrary, there might even be unexpected surprises.

Now it seems, the fourth brother did a good job indeed. He suggested, "Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, how about our whole family goes to the county town? The streets over there are lively, and there are lanterns to see at night. We could also check out that shop, and if we can’t come back at night, we could squeeze in at the Escort Agency for the night."

Upon hearing this proposal, Yang Dong said, "We could also stay at the shop. The shopkeeper who sold it said that their whole family will move out tomorrow morning. They’re leaving in a hurry and can’t take many home things, so they’ll leave them, including pots, pans, bedding, and so on."

When they heard about going to the county town to play and see the lanterns, the three little ones were overjoyed.

"I want to go, I want to go."

"Me too, I want to see the lanterns."

"..."

"..."

The whole family was very excited, all thinking about the trip to the county town tomorrow.

Finally, Father Yang spoke up, "Alright, then we’ll all go tomorrow and check out that shop the fourth child found."

"Hurray! Hurray!"
