Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

The Yang Family all heard that Yang Ming and Xiaoxiao had come back, and everyone was really surprised.

Their mouths were busy scolding, but their hands didn’t stay idle; they all started bustling around—those in charge of heating the kang went to heat the kang, those in charge of cooking went to cook.

Yang Ming finally lay down on his own warm kang at home.

Looking at the room glowing red and warm, just the same as before, not changed at all, there was no telling how warm his heart felt.

The feeling of coming home really is wonderful.

Afraid his wound would get worse, the Escort Agency’s doctor who had come along hurried to help check the wound and apply medicine.

Only after hearing the doctor say that it was nothing serious did the whole family finally relax.

Now that Yang Ming was already home, all he needed was to rest quietly, change his medicine carefully, and drink his decoctions, and he’d be fine. So Yang Ming told the Escort Agency men to go back to Lin County tomorrow. After all, there were still injured brothers over there who needed the doctor, and they’d need the doctor to go along on future escorts too; they couldn’t have everyone stay here. If anything happened to him, they could just go into town to find a doctor; a round trip would only take two hours.

The Escort Agency brothers couldn’t argue him down, so they had no choice but to agree.

The Escort Agency brothers were entertained by the other family members, while Xiaoxiao turned in early.

Looking at his wife and child beside him, Yang Ming thought of that saying: wife, child, warm kang.

The corners of his mouth couldn’t help but lift.

On Xiaoxiao’s side, she coaxed the child to sleep, tucked Little Liufu in, and when she turned her head she saw Yang Ming grinning. She opened her mouth and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"I’m laughing because wife, child, warm kang—it’s really great!" As Yang Ming spoke, the smile at the corners of his lips spread even wider.

Hearing this, the corners of Xiaoxiao’s lips curved up as well. She felt that "wife, child, warm kang" sounded even nicer as "wife and kids on the warm kang."

"Go to sleep, heal up properly. Once you can walk far again, I’ll take you to see Hope Academy. And our newly dug fish pond is all done too, the fry have already been put in; right now they’re building houses around it. Next year we can officially open for business. And there’s also a house built up in the mountain; by then we’ll get someone to guard the mountain. Now the only thing left is the hazelnuts—they haven’t been dealt with yet. In a few days I’ll start working on selling the hazelnuts."

As Xiaoxiao spoke, she went to blow out the candle. The room instantly went pitch black, and Xiaoxiao felt her way onto the kang and slipped into the quilt that held Yang Ming’s warmth.

Naturally, she pillowed her head on Yang Ming’s arm and went on talking, "We’ll just have to get through this winter like this. When spring comes next year, we’ll start building our big house..."

Xiaoxiao talked to Yang Ming about things at home, and Yang Ming listened very seriously, responding now and then.

This feeling of having his wife at his side nagging away was really wonderful.

Without thinking, he pulled his wife’s body a little closer to him. "Wife!"

"Mm?"

"Give me a kiss, will you?"

"..."

Here at home, in a room that belonged to just the two of them, Yang Ming really wanted to sit up and steal a kiss from his wife. But he was afraid she’d say he didn’t care about his health if he got up, so he said it this way instead.

He wasn’t the type to say things like that, but ever since he’d been with his wife, he kept shamelessly saying that sort of thing.

Seeing that his wife didn’t speak, he thought to himself, forget it, I’ll wait until I can sit up tomorrow.

But what he didn’t expect was—

He felt his wife move, and very quickly, his lips were sealed.

The feeling was so wonderful it made him want more.

So he reversed roles and, taking the lead, savored this sweetness that had come right to his lips.

The room was instantly filled with an ambiguous air.

A moment later, the two finally ended this kiss that left them both still wanting more. Xiaoxiao lay back down at his side and said with a bright smile, "It’s ’wife and kids on the warm kang.’"
