Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1228 - 1230: Why Is He So Mouthy?

Xiaoxiao and the others went by a horseless cart from home.

Although there was a carriage prepared at home, they still usually used the horseless one as they needed to go to the fields, transport farm tools, and haul corn during the autumn harvest, which a carriage couldn’t handle.

Passing by the previously rented courtyard, Xiaoxiao noticed it had been renovated, and remembered what the Village Chief had said, mentioning that the lady would come to stay in a few months. It’s been months, maybe she’s here now? She asked aloud, "Is anyone living here now?"

"Yes, the manager occasionally stays here with a few people," Yang Dong replied.

Xiaoxiao asked with some confusion, "The manager stays? Not the lady?"

"What lady?"

"Nothing." From Yang Dong’s reaction, Xiaoxiao realized that the lady never came to the Yang Family Village. It’s better that way, so she didn’t think about it anymore.

The cart quickly arrived at the fish pond!

Looking over, Xiaoxiao felt overjoyed and immensely proud.

During their long absence, the fish pond had transformed. When they left, it was just freshly dug, but now simple houses had been built around it, and the pond was fenced off.

Inside, flocks of ducks occasionally splashed into the water to play. Judging by their size, another couple of months and they’d be plump ducks.

Xiaoxiao walked to the edge of the fish pond and looked into the water; it was quite clear, and she could still see the fish inside.

The fish weren’t fully grown yet, probably needing another month or two.

Seeing this, Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of the Angling Garden idea she had before and said, "Hubby, what do you think about turning this place into an Angling Garden..."

Xiaoxiao eagerly explained the idea to Yang Ming, "Last time in Lin County, when that lady gave birth, later her husband gave us a fishing rod, which gave me the idea. What do you think?"

Listening to his wife’s talk about the Angling Garden, Yang Ming found it quite interesting and unique, but he still shook his head. "Honey, I don’t think it’s a good idea."

"Why not?"

"I think our fish pond should mainly supply the fish market. If we have too many people fishing here every day, it may affect our fish pond, and you also mentioned cooking the fish here, which seems chaotic. If we had another pond specifically for this, it might work."

After hearing Yang Ming’s words, Xiaoxiao realized that she had thought too simplistically. He wasn’t wrong—having both an Angling Garden and selling fish to the market would be chaotic. If it’s for the market, it should be for the market; if it’s for recreation, it should be for recreation. "Yeah, you’re right, I didn’t consider everything."

Seeing his wife a little disappointed, Yang Ming couldn’t bear it and began to suggest again. "If you really want to, we still have about a dozen acres of land; we could make a small fish pond there."

"But didn’t they say there’s no water underneath that land?"

"The villagers didn’t dig deep back then, did they? Think about it—we managed to dig out a fish pond here in this low-lying area; there must be water underground there, too."

Hearing this, Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up. "Hubby, you’re so smart. I didn’t think of that. Let’s dig a little pond over there specifically for the Angling Garden, and this side will supply the market. Maybe it could even help promote our hazelnuts or something."

"..." Yang Ming was speechless. Why did he have to say anything? His wife would just find more things to worry about, wouldn’t she?
