Reborn as Tycoon's Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 14 - Your tone is too heavy

14: 14 Your tone is too heavy

14: 14 Your tone is too heavy

Early in the morning, He Ximei went to work in the fields, and Su Peng was not at home either.

Su Peng’s daily tasks were to take care of the fodder for the two pigs at home, as well as the weeds for the fish pond.

As He Ximei put it, if these two things were managed well, there would be a sum of money coming in at the end of the year.

After she got up and washed up, she began to change her dressing.

Since her arrival, she hadn’t taken a good look at the wound on her head, which must have been quite serious; otherwise, it wouldn’t have cost the original host her life.

When she removed the gauze, a stark and somewhat fierce scar was exposed before her eyes.

She was taken aback.

She had expected the wound to look somewhat fierce but had not anticipated it to be this ugly.

By the looks of it, she would have to live with a scar on her forehead in the future.

She measured it, and realized that if she left her bangs long, they could cover it up and make the scar less obvious.

After disinfecting herself with antiseptic, she applied medication.

Because she used a bit too much force, the wound that had already started to scab suddenly began bleeding again.

Xiaofeng quickly pressed down on it with the gauze on one side.

It took a while for the bleeding to stop.

Throwing the gauze aside, it landed right on the Bronze Mirror.

The bloodstained gauze was affixed to one side of the mirror, and the bloodstains, not yet dry, imprinted themselves onto the mirror.

The mirror suddenly flashed with light.

The flash was like the fleeting white glare when sunlight strikes a mirror, or the brief gleam of light reflected on a wall from a mirror.

The flare came quickly and disappeared just as fast, so fast that Xiaofeng hardly noticed it.

After dressing her wound, she checked herself in the mirror and, confident there were no issues, headed for the kitchen to prepare breakfast for the family.

She then took feed from the pig feed bucket to the pigsty.

The two pigs at home had been raised since just after the New Year and had grown to be several tens of pounds over the past month or so.

The piglets, seeing their owner bringing food, immediately nudged over, snouts already rooting around in the trough, waiting for the food to be poured in.

For Xiaofeng, this was a return to familiar work.

As a child, she had also been an expert at raising pigs in her family, her daily tasks being cutting grass for the pigs, feeding them, and then waiting for the pigs to be sold to receive a five yuan allowance.

Watching the little pigs eagerly eating, a smile played on Xiaofeng’s lips.

In the nineties, there were no large pig farms, and livestock were mostly raised by individual households – one family might have one pig, another three, and so on.

There were no slaughterhouses in town, just independent butchers.

“Sis,” said Su Peng, who had just come back with a bundle of pigweed, a few strands still sticking to his head.

His tall frame immediately overshadowed Xiaofeng, “Feeding the pigs?”

“Mhm,” Xiaofeng answered, plucking the grass from his head, and said to Su Peng, “Brother, keep an eye on them.”

“Hehe, alright,” the simple-minded big brother laughed foolishly upon being called brother by Xiaofeng again.

“Xiaofeng,” called Su Xiaotao from the doorway, smiling and waving at her, “Come here, I have a question for you.

Are you really not considering going back with your mom to the Lin Family?”

Xiaofeng was of the same age as Su Xiaotao, and the two of them were very close.

With her plain looks that wouldn’t stand out in a crowd, Su Xiaotao was given a cursory glance by Xiaofeng, “I haven’t decided yet.”

“Are you silly?

The Lin Family is so wealthy, why wouldn’t you go back there?

I’ve heard that your stepmom plans to marry you off to the fool from Li Family village in exchange for a relative.

If you don’t go back to the Lin Family, your stepmom will surely trade you off sooner or later,” Su Xiaotao earnestly expressed what she believed to be the true situation, looking at Xiaofeng with a look that suggested she was viewing a complete idiot.

Seeing that Su Xiaofeng didn’t speak, Su Xiaotao lowered her voice, “Perhaps it was your stepmother who orchestrated your pregnancy.

Think about it, once you got pregnant, you couldn’t marry into a respectable family and had no choice but to marry that idiot from Li Village.

Xiaofeng, don’t be so naive.”

When it came to the pregnancy, of course, it landed squarely on Su Xiaotao’s shoulders.

If it hadn’t been for her colluding with Liu An, she definitely would not have fallen down the mountain, nor would there have been what followed.

“Yeah, I am naive.

Liu An said that day, it was him who instructed you to lure me to the mountainside so he could proceed with his plan.

Su Xiaotao, I want to ask you, what exactly are you plotting?” Su Xiaofeng asked with obvious mockery in her eyes.

The original owner treated the other party as a true friend, but they only took the original owner as a laughing stock.

“What do you mean, do you doubt me?” Su Xiaotao became anxious upon hearing this, “How have I treated you, don’t you know?

That Liu An is a scoundrel, his words can’t be trusted.”

“I don’t believe Liu An’s words, but I do believe what I have heard and seen.”

“Believe it or not.” Su Xiaotao was also angry, “I guess you’ve spent too much time with an idiot and it’s made you stupid, unable to see who truly cares about you.”

Thinking of something, Su Xiaotao said angrily, “Su Xiaofeng, if I care about you in the future, I’m a bastard.

Marry whoever you want, it has nothing to do with me.

You’re better off marrying that fool from Li Village.”

Saying this, she stomped off toward home.

Su Xiaofeng narrowed her eyes upon hearing her words, “Stop right there.”

Taozi felt a surge of joy inside, thinking, I still have control over you, don’t I? freewёbnoνel.com

Just like that, you submit once I get angry.

She stood there, waiting for Xiaofeng to come forward and coax her like before when she got angry, telling her she had misunderstood or something.

But after a long wait, she only got one sentence: “Xiaotao, in the morning, you should still brush your teeth to avoid your breath being too heavy, it affects others’ mood at breakfast.”

Su Xiaotao: “….”

Turning around in a huff, she saw that Su Xiaofeng had already returned to the house.

She shouted towards Su Xiaofeng’s mud-brick house, “Su Xiaofeng, you’ll regret this, just you wait.”

A pregnant unmarried woman has no right to appear so lively in her presence.

A woman like Su Xiaofeng would have to live with her tail between her legs in the village and beyond.

No, a woman like Su Xiaofeng should be driven out of the village to taste the scorn of others.

When Su Xiaotao got home, Hu Xiulan had just returned from the fields.

Seeing her daughter angry, Hu Xiulan asked, “Taozi, what happened, who made you so angry?”

“It’s that idiot Su Xiaofeng.” She said I didn’t brush my teeth in the morning and that my breath was bad, it made me so angry I could explode, “Mom, I think she’s perfectly suited for that idiot in Li Village.”

“Carrying a belly, the Li Family might not even value her.” Hu Xiulan chuckled, “Being paired with an idiot is too good for her.

Isn’t Liu An interested in marrying her?

I think she and Liu An are a perfect match.”

“Mom, do you think Liu An really wants to marry her?

He’s just attracted to her appearance.”

“Liu An is lazy and irresponsible, of course, he wouldn’t sincerely want to marry her.” Hu Xiulan leaned in conspiratorially, “With two bachelors in the Liu Family, if Su Xiaofeng truly ends up marrying into their household, it’d be a miracle if she isn’t tormented to death.”

The younger one lacks decency, and the older is no good either.
