Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

The lunch at the Chu Family’s was very sumptuous, just like a banquet.

The dishes, each with names difficult to recall, looked exquisite and tasted equally great, prompting admiration; no wonder they are the owners of the Yuelai Restaurant.

The meal was spent in a lively and harmonious atmosphere, with the men still remembering to sip some wine.

...

Time flew by, and before long it was afternoon, with the sun setting on the western hills, signaling the time for the Yang Family to depart.

The Chu Family truly didn’t want Little Liufu to leave, as they had tried to persuade them to stay countless times throughout the afternoon, delaying the return. But now it was no longer possible to postpone, as it would soon be dark.

They also knew that Little Liufu was too young to travel at night; it wasn’t safe. Additionally, the weather was quite chilly, and it wouldn’t be good for the child to catch a cold, so they reluctantly saw the Yang Family off.

Yet the feeling of reluctance was genuine; at the entrance of the Chu Mansion, there was another round of cordial exchanges between both parties.

They spoke about how the two families should stay in touch more often in the future.

It was with such reluctance that the Yang Family was sent off.

Watching the departing carriage, the members of the Chu Family couldn’t suppress their stirring emotions any longer, each with eyes glistening with tears.

Madam Chu, wiping away her tears with a handkerchief, said excitedly, "That child is really good-looking and so sturdy!"

Seeing this, Old Master Chu also placed his hand on Madam Chu’s shoulder, "Alright, the days ahead are still long; the two families should stay connected, and we’ll surely be able to see the child often."

In fact, they initially thought of acknowledging Xiaoxiao as their goddaughter, thus making them Little Liufu’s legitimate grandparents. Yet, such a suggestion seemed inappropriate during a first meeting, so they held back, perhaps finding an opportunity after some time passes.

At this moment Wang Xiangxiang comforted them, "Dad, Mom, please don’t worry, the child won’t suffer any grievances with Xiaoxiao. Once the child I am carrying is born, we can let the two children play together, so that you can see him frequently."

Chu Lian also chimed in to console them, "Dad, Mom, you don’t have to worry. Although their family is used to being frugal, they live well enough. It’s actually better for the child to grow up in such a family. Don’t worry; I will offer my help whenever needed."

Honestly, Madam Chu and Old Master Chu understood this as well; still, he was their eldest grandson, and their hearts were filled with worries, wishing to keep the child by their side day and night. But they knew that wasn’t possible; they could only act as they did now.

Seeing the concern on the elderly couple’s faces, Chu Huan quickly changed the subject, "Dad, Mom, I think the child truly resembles my sister."

Mentioning the child indeed shifted the focus of the elders, "He does, indeed, especially the corners of his mouth. It’s true what they say: sons resemble their mothers."

"Well then, if sister-in-law’s unborn child is a son, should he resemble sister-in-law?"

Hearing this, Chu Lian was displeased, "My son is definitely going to resemble me more."

Chu Huan scoffed, "Sister-in-law is better-looking than you."

The family burst into hearty laughter, "Hahaha!"

"It doesn’t matter who they look like; you both don’t look bad."

"..."

"..."

The atmosphere finally improved a bit; the family went back inside and continued chatting for a long, long time, the topic always revolving around Little Liufu. The general idea was to maintain the current situation, not to discuss the matter further, and just watch the child grow up. Once the child grows a bit older, they will consider whether to reveal the truth to the Yang Family.
