Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1245 - 1247: Seeking No Wealth or Glory, Only Peace and Safety

Inside the house, there were bursts of laughter, and shortly afterward, the little maid at the Guo Mansion entered the room, "Master, Madam, dinner is ready."

Upon hearing this, Master Guo and Madam Guo stood up, and Master Guo said, "In-laws, you must be hungry from the journey. Let’s go have dinner first, we can chat while we eat."

"Alright, alright," replied Yang Ming’s father, and the group moved to the dining hall.

As soon as they entered the dining hall, the little maid had prepared basins for washing hands, and everyone washed and took their seats.

As they sat down, dishes with various names were brought in one after another.

The setup was akin to a banquet at a restaurant, with a very lavish preparation of various dishes.

The Yang Family was very well-mannered too. After sitting down and seeing the variety of food on the table, they did not act impulsively, which greatly changed Madam Guo’s view on country folk.

Master Guo glanced at the little maid who was serving the dishes. The little maid spoke up, "Master, all the dishes have been served."

Master Guo nodded and gestured for the maid to leave, then said, "In-laws, we’re all family, feel free to eat."

At this moment, Guo Feng, afraid that the Yang Family might be too restrained, quickly added, "Father-in-law, there’s no need for formality when we eat at home. You all must be hungry from the journey, so go ahead and eat."

After Guo Feng spoke, Yang Ming’s father gave everyone a look, and they began to eat, but they were still very courteous, without any sign of ravenous eating.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was harmonious, and the men from both families even drank a little wine.

On the way here, Yang Ming’s mother had specifically urged Yang Ming’s father to drink less and not embarrass their daughter. This time, Yang Ming’s father held back and did not drink much.

While the men drank, the ladies conversed.

Madam Guo, being very sociable, made many complimentary remarks, "In-law, you truly are blessed. Look at your sons and daughters, each seems capable, and your three daughters-in-law are all harmonious and clearly filial. The children are all so obedient and sensible."

Listening to Madam Guo’s words, Yang Ming’s mother smiled broadly. She was naturally not very eloquent and felt a bit shy, so she modestly replied, "Hehe, country folk, we don’t wish for great wealth, just for peace and a good life. The children aren’t that talented but are willing to work hard and aren’t lazy."

Madam Guo heard Yang Ming’s mother’s humble response, which did not seem boastful at all, and her fondness for the Yang family increased, "In-law, you’re right indeed. No matter the family, they only wish for peace. But don’t belittle the children; they are all so hardworking. I heard from Yang Qiu that your family is quite capable; you’re quite skilled! You’ve set up workshops, fishponds, and even a Grand Theater and Escort Agency."

"It’s all thanks to our third son’s wife. Our family members are just laborers. Without our third daughter-in-law, they wouldn’t accomplish much," Yang Ming’s mother replied without feeling embarrassed about it.

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxiao immediately chimed in, "Mom, you’re truly undervaluing everyone. I’m just the leader; without everyone, we wouldn’t be able to achieve anything. They each have their own ideas, and if they ventured off on their own, they’d truly succeed."

"Stop praising them. I know the worth of the children I raised," Yang Ming’s mother laughed. Before their third son’s wife came, their life wasn’t much. Even if the children are doing well now, it’s all thanks to their third son’s wife."
