Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1241 - 1243: They’re Here, They’re Here

Guo Mansion Front Hall

Mrs. Guo asked worriedly, "Master, our son has been gone for three days now. When do you think they will arrive?"

"I believe our son might arrive tonight, but he’ll need some time to prepare. He should reach the in-laws tomorrow. The in-laws probably need to arrange their household matters first." Mr. Guo analyzed while speaking, "If they didn’t come yesterday, it means they were organizing things at home. They’re surely eager to see our daughter-in-law, and they should be here today."

Hearing this, Mrs. Guo couldn’t sit still. "If you say so, they’ll be here shortly. I must go make arrangements."

As she spoke, Mrs. Guo stood up and walked out the door, heading first to the kitchen. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Seeing Mrs. Guo coming over herself, the Kitchen Maid was too scared to breathe. "Madam!"

"There might be guests tonight. Are all the ingredients prepared? If not, quickly go buy some. Start prepping now; don’t delay. Prepare enough for twenty people."

"Yes, Madam."

After giving instructions in the kitchen, Mrs. Guo went to the courtyard, spotting the flowers and trees, she hurriedly called over the house servant, "Quickly trim all these, and clean the courtyard thoroughly."

"Yes, Madam."

Mrs. Guo inspected the courtyard and then went to the guest room, speaking to the Little Maid next to her, "Clean these guest rooms, replace what needs to be replaced, discard what needs to be discarded."

"Yes, Madam."

Mrs. Guo checked every corner of the house once again, worrying that something might be overlooked. In fact, she had already given instructions after Guo Feng left, but now she was having everyone do it once more, showing how much she valued this, fearing she might be negligent in manners.

After checking everything, Mrs. Guo returned to the front hall, making Mr. Guo speechless for a moment. "Madam, didn’t you give all these instructions already?"

Mrs. Guo sat down to rest, saying, "Do it again, just in case of omissions."

"The in-laws are farmers; they shouldn’t mind too much."

"That won’t do. I don’t care if they mind or not; we can’t afford any oversight that might cause embarrassment." It must be said, Mrs. Guo carried herself with considerable grace.

...

The commotion in Guo Mansion caught the attention of Xiaotian in the garden, who asked, "Zi Lan, why are they cleaning again?"

"Madam said your family is coming, so everyone is cleaning the house again." Zi Lan replied, congratulating Xiaotian, "Madam values you and your family greatly, Young Madam."

Xiaotian smiled, feeling very moved by everything Mrs. Guo did.

Nearby, Yang Qiu overheard and remarked, "Sister, brother-in-law left three days ago. Your parents might arrive tonight."

"Really?" Hearing this, Xiaotian began to feel nervous.

Yang Qiu nodded, "Yes, everyone must be eager to see you. As long as brother-in-law didn’t get lost, they should definitely come."

"Yes."

Seeing Xiaotian like this, Yang Qiu reassured her, "Sister, don’t be nervous, our family is very nice."

"Yes."

Time passed quickly, and before they realized it, evening had arrived. Xiaotian and Yang Qiu had been chatting inside the room when suddenly Zi Lan rushed in, "Young Madam, they’ve arrived, they’ve arrived."

Upon hearing this, Xiaotian and Yang Qiu quickly stood up, only to hear Zi Lan continue, "Young Madam, your family has arrived; they’re already in the front hall. The young master is asking you to come over."
