Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1324 - 1326: No One Came!

It’s already dark, and Zhong Dalong, who went to the Village Chief’s house, hasn’t returned yet.

This made Xiaoxiao’s mother a bit worried, and she couldn’t help but ask, "Old man, why hasn’t Dalong returned yet?"

Old Zhong, sitting there, was actually anxious inside, but when his wife asked, he pretended to be calm and said, "What’s the rush? He’ll be back soon. Go heat up the food, so we don’t have to make it when he returns."

"Dad, I’ll do it." Dalong’s wife agreed quickly and went to the kitchen.

"Such a big matter, how can I not be anxious?" Xiaoxiao’s mother said.

Listening to the elderly couple’s conversation, Xiaoxiao could see all of her mother’s worries written on her face. Although Old Zhong didn’t show it on the surface, his body was moving, as if something was growing under him—he couldn’t sit still, showing his inner concern as well.

Xiaoxiao spoke up, "Dad, Mom, don’t worry, it’s already so late and he hasn’t returned; there must be a lot of people signing up."

After hearing their daughter’s words, Xiaoxiao’s mother chimed in, "Yes, our daughter is right. If no one signed up, Dalong would have returned long ago. It’s already dark, and he hasn’t come back, so there must be many people."

The family really thought so, and thus they weren’t that anxious anymore.

Soon, Zhong Dalong’s son, Zhong Yu, who had been waiting at the door, ran in, shouting, "Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt, Dad is back, Dad is back."

Hearing the shout, the few people inside the house instinctively stood up. Although they maintained some composure, they were truly anxious inside, eager to know the result.

Just as Zhong Yu shouted, Zhong Dalong entered the house.

Once inside, Xiaoxiao’s mother immediately asked, "Dalong, why are you back so late? Are there many people at Bao Mountain?"

Seeing Zhong Dalong’s dejected expression, Xiaoxiao’s heart sank. Could it be that things didn’t work out? It doesn’t make sense. What went wrong?

Indeed, Zhong Dalong spoke up and said, "No one came."

Upon hearing these words, the people inside the room were first stunned, with Xiaoxiao’s mother appearing even more incredulous, "What did you say? No one came?"

"Yeah, we waited at the Village Chief’s house. We waited until it was dark and no one came," Zhong Dalong explained honestly.

"What are we going to do now?" Hearing this, Xiaoxiao’s mother became anxious.

Xiaoxiao hadn’t expected such a result either, but she could only offer comfort, "Mom, there’s no need to be anxious. There are still three days, everyone surely went back to think about it. Once they figure it out, they’ll come. Besides, even if our village people don’t come, we can still look for other villages."

At this time, Old Zhong spoke up, "Alright, the matter is already like this; let’s just go with the flow. It’s such a big issue, people have to properly consider it."

Seeing Zhong Dalong had returned, Dalong’s wife also brought the dishes in from the kitchen, and Zhong Dalong quickly ate a few bites. The family then went back to rest.

Early the next morning, Zhong Dalong still went to the Village Chief’s house to report. No matter what, he still had to wait. Maybe some villagers would change their minds.

In the afternoon, Xiaoxiao also went out with her child. She wanted to see what the villagers’ situation was. Originally, she had planned everything well, so why weren’t things going according to plan?

The best place to catch the gossip would be the main square, where there would certainly be people discussing this matter at the moment.
