Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1359 - 1361: Who Knows How Much Silver We’ll Have to Fork Over to Their Family

As soon as Yang Gang and his wife got home, Yang Gang’s wife said angrily, "Dad, Mom, our family’s fourth is just foolish." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Yang Gang also said worriedly, "Dad, Mom, if we really make a marriage alliance with their family, I’m afraid fourth brother’s future won’t be good. Lan Hua Auntie’s family is a bottomless pit. Fourth brother might end up pouring countless pieces of silver into their household."

Old Yang sat there with his brow furrowed. Why is the second couple so worked up; did they suffer some loss over there?

He asked, "What’s going on?"

"The doctor said Yang Xiaocui got sick from hunger and prescribed medicine costing two taels of silver, but Lan Hua Auntie’s family refused to pay. You didn’t see it, Xiaocui’s third sister-in-law refused to pay and called the doctor a fraud, she really upset the doctor..."

Yang Gang’s wife rattled off everything, not leaving out a single detail about the doctor’s visit to Yang Xiaocui and the ugly attitudes of Lan Hua Auntie’s family. She ended with an indignant remark, "Dad, Mom, you tell me, isn’t the fourth foolish? They have money but won’t buy medicine for their girl, and the fourth just handed over the two taels of silver. I think Yang Gang is right, if we end up allying with their family, who knows how much silver will be squeezed out of us."

Hearing that Yang Xiaocui fell ill from hunger, Yang Ming’s mother softened, "Poor Yang Xiaocui, she’s never been full all these years yet she’s done plenty of work. If she truly marries our fourth, she would be a capable worker."

As soon as she heard this, Yang Gang’s wife worried her mother-in-law might compromise and quickly said, "Mom, there are plenty of capable women, it doesn’t have to be Yang Xiaocui. Besides, with that family, they’re really not suitable for a marriage alliance. And also, Yang Xiaocui isn’t particularly striking."

As soon as she said this, everyone in the room’s expressions changed. Yang Gang’s wife immediately reacted, "Okay, none of us sisters-in-law are particularly striking, but our families have nothing bad said about them. But Yang Xiaocui’s family, they’re lacking in every way."

Yang Ming’s mother sighed deeply after hearing this, "But, but your fourth brother really embraced Yang Xiaocui, and promised right in front of so many people. If our family goes back on this, can we?"

"Mom, fourth brother was rescuing her. In my view, there’s no need to fear them. Remember when Xiangxiang sister tried to kill herself, it was my Yang Gang who carried her out, and she didn’t beg or make Yang Gang marry her. To me, Yang Xiaocui is just being overly emotional. She targeted fourth brother and staged this to force him into agreeing to marry her."

One cannot deny, Yang Gang’s wife is spot on with her analysis. However, whoever has to deal with this will be troubled. In this conservative era, it’s difficult to justify with words alone.

No matter what, the decision on this matter ultimately lies with the fourth. There’s no point in discussing it further here. After a moment, Old Yang spoke, "Alright, let’s wait for the fourth to come back tonight and plan. For now, let’s eat and then get to the fields. We still need to bring back the corn."

There’s still a lot of work in the fields, and the corn picked earlier today is still lying there not brought back, all delayed by this matter. So delayed that they haven’t even eaten yet, but instead filled their stomachs with frustration.

The family hurriedly ate just a few mouthfuls and then went to the fields, deciding to bring all the corn picked today back home.
