Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1221 - 1223: Need to Verify the Results

Xiaoxiao looked again and confirmed she wasn’t mistaken; Yang Ming was holding something like a bow and arrow in his hands. Was he changing his path? Not going to school anymore? Planning to learn martial arts?

"Yes, I want to learn archery." Failing to protect his wife from the hungry wolf last time lingered as a regret in Yang Ming’s heart. He felt that merely having superficial skills wasn’t enough, and he needed to improve in all aspects. Especially after witnessing those people shoot the wolf dead from afar, his desire to learn archery intensified.

Having thought about this continuously, he went to the County today to get it done. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

He also visited Xuntian Escort Agency to learn about the agency’s current situation and discussed with Wang Kui. Then he spoke, "Wife, I want to discuss something with you."

Xiaoxiao asked curiously, "What’s the matter?"

Yang Ming looked at his wife, his face serious, "In a few days, I plan to go out with Wang Kui and the others."

This decision wasn’t impulsive; Yang Ming had been contemplating it for some time. As the leader of the Escort Agency now, he couldn’t always stay behind his brothers. He wanted to personally take charge and make things happen. Operating an Escort Agency wasn’t easy; he needed to team up with Wang Kui to open up new paths, traversing both legal and less legal routes, instead of solely relying on Wang Kui.

"Are you going out on an escort mission?" Xiaoxiao had a suspicion and asked tentatively.

"Yes, and I also want to expand the Escort Agency a bit, to explore external connections."

How could Xiaoxiao not understand Yang Ming’s intentions? "It’s fine, but, husband, are you not going to school anymore? You haven’t gone for months?"

"I’ll resume school next spring. Don’t worry, it won’t be neglected."

Seeing Yang Ming’s seriousness, Xiaoxiao didn’t plan to stand in his way. Even if she wanted to, she couldn’t stop him; she couldn’t obstruct Yang Ming’s progress, "Alright, as long as you’ve decided. When are you going to be leaving?"

"Early next month."

"Then when will you be back?"

"It’s hard to say, it might be soon, it might take months."

"Oh!"

As they spoke, the two entered the house. Hearing Xiaoxiao’s ’oh’, Yang Ming knew his wife felt a bit down. Once inside, he put his things down and hugged her, "Wife, I’ll return as soon as I can."

"You can come back whenever you want, but it shouldn’t be more than half a year." Xiaoxiao’s voice grew softer, her face lowered, slightly shy as she added, "I’ve been taking medication for six months now, and need to verify the results."

Her words made Yang Ming feel mixed emotions. The thought of his wife enduring the bitter medication filled him with heartache. But hearing she wanted to verify the results made him smile, eager to return quickly to be with her, "I understand, wife. I’ll definitely return for you to verify the results."

Slightly embarrassed, Xiaoxiao moved away and pointed to the archery practice target, asking, "Where do you plan to set up that thing?"

"Just in the courtyard."

"Huh?" Xiaoxiao looked incredulous, "Better not in the courtyard; if your shot goes off target and hits someone, that wouldn’t be good. Better set it up farther away, and our courtyard isn’t very big either."

Feeling mildly dissed by his wife, Yang Ming initially wanted to argue, but realizing his lack of archery skills, he had to agree. Although his aim was sometimes accurate, it wasn’t consistent, and he needed practice. Once proficient, he’d surely impress his wife, "Alright, I’ll go up the mountain to find a place to set it up."
