Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1332 - 1334: This Girl Might Be a Fool

Xiaoxiao’s mother felt a bit embarrassed; with such a big issue recently at home, they had completely forgotten about the Mid-Autumn Festival.

They really weren’t in the mood to celebrate it, yet surprisingly the in-laws remembered.

As the mother-in-law, she had forgotten to prepare anything for her daughter-in-law’s family.

Not to mention a return gift for Xiaoxiao’s husband’s family—what should she do about it?

Thinking of this, her face turned a bit red and she said, "Yang Dong, take a seat, I’ll go prepare some food."

Hearing this, Yang Dong hurried to stop her, "Auntie, there’s no need to prepare anything, I’ll be leaving soon."

"That won’t do. You’re a guest here, you must eat before you go." Without giving Yang Dong a chance to refuse, Xiaoxiao’s mother went out.

She went straight to Xiaoxiao’s room; Xiaoxiao was changing clothes for the child, taking care of Little Liufu’s little bottom, when she saw her mother come in and asked, "Mom, why are you here?"

"Daughter, what should we do? Your husband’s family sent all those things, and we didn’t prepare a return gift."

Thinking it was something serious, but it turned out to be just this, Xiaoxiao didn’t stop her actions and responded nonchalantly, "Mom, it’s fine, it’s just a gift. I can explain it to them when I go back."

To Xiaoxiao, the return gift wasn’t a big deal, but in her mother’s eyes, it was a matter of great importance, "That’s not okay, that’s not proper etiquette. No, I’ll find your brother and have him ride a horse to town to buy something quickly."

Seeing her mother about to go and find her brother, Xiaoxiao quickly stopped her, "Mom, don’t send brother. If you really think it’s improper, then choose something from what I brought back and let Yang Dong take it to them. We came directly from town, and they don’t know what exactly we brought home."

"Really?" Xiaoxiao’s mother asked, concerned that if they knew what had been brought, sending it back might be awkward.

"Really." Xiaoxiao nodded; she knew the Yang Family wouldn’t mind, but her mother was particular about these traditions.

Hearing this, Xiaoxiao’s mother felt relieved, "Okay, then let’s pick some things from there to take to your husband’s family."

As she said this, Xiaoxiao’s mother remarked, "Daughter, your father-in-law and mother-in-law are so thoughtful. I didn’t even prepare anything for your sister-in-law’s family."

"When brother gets back, he can go to town tomorrow to buy something and send it to sister-in-law’s family, there’s still time," Xiaoxiao suggested.

Seeing the matter resolved, Xiaoxiao’s mother didn’t stay long and quickly went to choose a return gift, while Xiaoxiao returned to the main room with the child.

Yang Dong, sitting there, had been quite uneasy, although Old Zhong wasn’t really doing much other than asking some questions about the family and engaging in small talk; Yang Dong nervously answered whatever he was asked.

Seeing his third sister-in-law enter the room, he seemed to see a lifeline, "Third Sister-in-law."

"Is everything going well at home? Is it time for the farming season?" When she left home, Xiaoxiao knew it was about time for farming, just not exactly when. She had just heard at the big square that it was happening in a day or two.

Yang Dong replied truthfully with the family’s instructions, "Third Sister-in-law, everything’s fine at home, don’t worry. The farming season is about to start, but you don’t need to do any work. Father and Mother said you don’t have to go back; since there’s such a big issue at your parents’ place, they want you to stay here and help them."

"Okay, as long as everything’s fine," Xiaoxiao was relieved.

On hearing his daughter’s words, Old Zhong furrowed his brow, thinking his daughter might be a bit naive.
