Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1282 - 1284: All Piled Up in the Courtyard

In the shaded area of the village square, several women were cooling off.

"Hey, did you hear? Those few families sent the food they got from the mountain to Yang’s family."

"I heard, and you know what, that Yang family is really something; they even paid them wages."

"Indeed, Aunt Li’s family received half a tael of silver, and those people barely worked a few days. If I’d known, I would’ve gone up the mountain myself."

"Oh, stop it, don’t do that kind of mean thing."

"I’m just saying, I can’t really do it anyway."

"Hey, do you think their family can really sell that food for a good price?"

"Who knows, it’s uncertain. But if they really sell it high, won’t those people regret it terribly?"

"Hahaha, you’re right, they might."

"Come on, what do they have to regret? They can’t sell it themselves, better to earn some wages now and not offend the Yang family."

"You’ve got a point there."

"I heard Lan Hua’s family didn’t send the stuff back."

"Hm, this will be interesting."

"..."

"..."

The news about those families sending hazelnuts back to Yang’s family and the Yang family paying wages spread quickly in Yang’s village. Everyone had something to say: some were jealous, some found it funny, while others defended the Yang family. Each person had their own view.

Just as the conversation heated up, they saw Yang Gang’s wife walking past the square, and, wanting to inquire, they swarmed around her since she liked to talk.

"Yang Gang’s wife, what are you up to?"

"I’m heading to the rental cottage; you all are chatting here, huh." Yang Gang’s wife greeted normally.

"Yang Gang’s wife, come here, we’ve got something to ask you!"

Seeing those women waving at her, Yang Gang’s wife walked over, "What’s up?"

"We heard that those folks sent food to your family and your family paid wages. We are just idly curious, are you planning to sell those things?"

Upon hearing the question, Yang Gang’s wife started speaking, "Don’t mention it, I just don’t get it. Why bring all that worthless stuff home and waste those wages."

Yang Gang’s wife spoke with displeasure, "Sell what? It’s all piled in the yard. My sister-in-law is foolish; she didn’t take the stuff back when the villagers sent it. No choice but to not take it for free; our family isn’t the type to take people’s things without paying!"

Hearing Yang Gang’s wife’s complaint, the villagers asked again, "So your family isn’t buying the mountain?"

Talking about buying the mountain made Yang Gang’s wife raise her voice, "Buy the mountain? When it’s so worthless, why buy it? The mountain is so expensive."

"Oh dear, I won’t talk anymore, thinking about this annoys me. I must quickly get to the cottage." Yang Gang’s wife said and started walking away.

Leaving everyone looking at each other, realizing that the Yang family probably accepted the food because they couldn’t refuse.

After Yang Gang’s wife turned away, her expression unchanged, she silently thought to herself. Good thing they asked her; her sister-in-law already explained what to say. If they asked the elder sister-in-law, she might have blurted it out!
