Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1299 - 1301: Zhong Lihui

The person entering the village is none other than Xiaoxiao’s eldest cousin, the eldest son of Uncle’s family, Zhong Lihui.

Zhong Lihui entered the village with a cheerful face, greeting the villagers with a smile, "Aunt Li, busy, huh?"

"Aunt Wang, resting, huh?"

"..."

"..."

The villagers only nodded and smiled when they saw Zhong Lihui but said nothing. Recently, the Zhong Family encountered a big issue that stirred quite a bit of gossip among the villagers, but the Zhong Family scolded them into silence, telling them to stop spreading it.

When seeing members of the Zhong Family, everyone dared not speak, but once Zhong Lihui had walked some distance away, they couldn’t help but speak up, "The eldest son of the Zhong family is back; he probably doesn’t know about the incident yet."

"Seeing his cheerful demeanor, he certainly doesn’t know."

"..."

"..."

Zhong Lihui indeed didn’t know what happened at home; he had just returned from Beijing. His cheerful demeanor was also because he had just landed a big business deal and rushed home as soon as it was finalized.

After entering the village, he noticed the villagers looked somewhat strange but didn’t think much of it, only eager to share the good news with his family.

Upon entering the house and finding no one there, he headed straight to his second uncle’s house without a second thought.

Entering the yard, he shouted, "Second Uncle, Second Aunt, it’s Lihui, is Mom here?"

Upon hearing his voice, his aunt hurriedly got off the kang and, while walking, said, "My son’s back."

The family thus went to greet Zhong Lihui in the yard.

Upon seeing her son return, Zhong Lihui’s mother seemed to unburden her heart instantly, hugging him and crying, "Lihui, you finally got back."

Seeing his mother cry, noticing so many people gathered, Zhong Lihui sensed something was wrong, promptly asking, "Mom, what’s wrong?" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Crying, his mother replied, "Your father and your four uncles have been taken by the government office. It’s been three days, yet there’s no news. Your brothers went to the office to bail them out, but there’s no word."

Hearing this, Zhong Lihui was in shock. During his absence, what on earth happened at home? Supporting his mom, he walked inside, asking as he went, "Mom, what on earth happened? Why were they detained?"

Once inside, Zhong Lihui’s mother explained the situation’s details to him, "Lihui, what should we do? Only you could come up with a plan."

Zhong Lihui, after hearing the whole story, stood there silently, his face clouded heavily as though pondering something, which made Xiaoxiao feel her cousin was withholding something in his heart, "Cousin, Cousin, what’s wrong?"

Only after hearing Xiaoxiao’s voice did Zhong Lihui come to himself, quickly comforting everyone, "Mom, don’t be anxious. I’m heading to the County right away to check."

Zhong Lihui stepped out a bit absent-mindedly, making Xiaoxiao feel even more that something troubled him. She couldn’t let him go alone, especially since she trusted Yang Ming could handle it, so she stopped him, "Cousin, you don’t need to go. Let my husband handle it; it should be fine. You just got back; take a break, haven’t eaten yet, right?"

Upon Xiaoxiao’s inquiry, Zhong Lihui’s mother also said, "Yes, Lihui, you just returned. There’s no rush, eat first."

While speaking, she motioned to her eldest daughter-in-law, "Li Hui’s wife, hurry to the kitchen and see what’s there to eat and prepare something for your husband."
