Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1388 - 1390: Mom, I’m Home

Ten days later, the Yang family’s busy farming season was mostly over, and the corn and corn stalks had all been brought back.

The corn stalks were stacked into piles to be used as firewood in the future.

The corn was piled up in the yard, and the whole family sat there working, shelling the corn, delivering what needed to be handed over, and milling the rest for flour to keep as food for the year.

But this year, we probably don’t need to mill as much since cornmeal is no longer the main staple, so we don’t need to shell much corn. Whatever is left can just be stored for now.

The ox cart and horse cart were, of course, borrowed by Xiaocui’s family, and Yang Dong went along too.

The second daughter-in-law sat there shelling corn and said, "Mom, I’m just saying, this marriage shouldn’t have been agreed to. Look at Xiaocui’s family; they knew to use our ox cart and horse cart but haven’t been out in the fields for ten days."

"If they were a decent family, would they just leave their own fields like that? How could they not bring back something over these few days, even a little is better than nothing, but they haven’t brought anything at all, just waiting for our cart."

"They saved that time to go and earn money for themselves. I heard they went to work for that big landlord’s family, harvesting land."

"Mom, what kind of family does that?"

Listening to her second daughter-in-law’s complaints, Yang Ming’s mother didn’t reply. She didn’t know what to say; she couldn’t judge other people’s business, but this wasn’t something she could do herself.

The second daughter-in-law continued to complain, "Borrowing the carts would be fine, but they also called away our youngest. Isn’t our work done? And Lan Hua’s aunt shamelessly treats him like one of their own."

This time Yang Ming’s mother responded, "The youngest, after all, is their son-in-law. It’s not unreasonable for him to help with his in-laws’ farm work. Fortunately, he’s strong, so let him go."

The second daughter-in-law was straightforward, saying whatever she thought, "Mom, I’ve heard that recently Xiaocui’s sisters-in-law have been showing off about being related to our family outside. It seems like they think marrying into our family will make them rich. I think they’re planning to squeeze Silver from us. Mom, your ears are too soft, you better hold onto your Silver tight, and don’t give to just anyone."

Yang Gang also joined in to remind his mother, "Mom, my wife is right, you really need to keep an eye on your Silver."

Being lectured by her son and daughter-in-law left Yang Ming’s mother a bit embarrassed. But she couldn’t blame them, she knew herself, "Well, don’t worry, Mom gets it. Besides, there’s still your father. If anything happens, I’ll ask your father."

Though the mother-in-law agreed, the second daughter-in-law still didn’t trust her, not just her mother-in-law; everyone at home was too honest, and she feared they’d be too gullible and get tricked.

With that in mind, she couldn’t help but sigh, "Ah, I don’t know when the third sister-in-law will return. How is her family’s situation?"

At this time, the eldest daughter-in-law spoke up, "She should be back soon, I heard that the third sister-in-law’s family is in Bao Mountain, and a lot of people went there. The mountain work should be finished by now."

During this chat, they heard the sound of a horse cart arriving at their door. Everyone looked toward the yard gate, expecting it to be the youngest driving back.

However, they saw the elder brother-in-law from the in-laws driving the cart, indicating that the third daughter-in-law had returned.

Everyone immediately went over to greet them and saw Xiaoxiao getting off the cart with her child. Seeing her family, Xiaoxiao smiled slightly, "Mom, I’m back."
