Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1362 - 1364: She Fainted from Hunger

Back then, Xiaoxiao also used the trick of forced marriage, but the second daughter-in-law didn’t intervene.

She didn’t intervene because she was intimidated by Xiaoxiao’s family, who were truly a fierce bunch, and she couldn’t afford to provoke them. Also, at that time, her family was poor and had no confidence.

But now things are different.

Yang Xiaocui’s family isn’t as formidable as Xiaoxiao’s family. Living in the same village, she’s quite familiar with Yang Xiaocui’s family, who are all talk and dare not resort to violence, unlike Xiaoxiao’s family, who truly resorted to beating up people. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Most importantly, Yang Xiaocui’s family values money. So, if they really disagree with the matter, they can settle it with some silver.

So the second daughter-in-law felt that this matter could definitely be contested with Aunt Lan Hua’s family, and there was no need to compromise.

At this time, Yang Laoye, who hadn’t spoken, started to speak, "You know, what your brothers and sisters-in-law said isn’t entirely without reason. Getting married is a big deal, not just between the two of you but also between the two families, so you must be cautious. Do you truly fancy that Yang Xiaocui?"

Asked by his father, Yang Dong finally spoke up, "Dad, I’ve been thinking about this all afternoon. It’s not Yang Xiaocui’s fault, it’s all on me. If I had just waited there for Aunt Lan Hua and the others to come, it would have been fine. But I just went ahead and carried her back myself, and ended up being seen by so many villagers. Even if Yang Xiaocui didn’t wake up or hit a tree, the villagers would probably still spread the word about me carrying her. By then, Yang Xiaocui’s reputation would have been ruined anyway."

Yang Laoye sighed. What the fourth son said wasn’t without reason. The problem was that the fourth son carried the girl. Even without Yang Xiaocui’s aggravation, the villagers might still gossip, and by then Yang Xiaocui’s reputation would be gone. The young girl did it to protect herself, to maintain her innocence.

Upon hearing this, the second daughter-in-law voiced again, "Fourth brother, don’t be foolish. What if Yang Xiaocui was just pretending to be faint, setting a trap for you to fall into, just to tie you down?"

Yang Dong had indeed suspected this, but the doctor confirmed that she was indeed sick, and she had starved herself into that state, so it shouldn’t be an act. Moreover, when he just sent the doctor back, he specifically asked if the sickness from starvation could cause fainting, and the doctor said it was possible.

After getting this response, his resentment slightly diminished.

To be honest, Yang Xiaocui didn’t particularly catch his eye. Besides her average looks, her build was too slender.

At fourteen years old, she didn’t look much older than their Yang Guangguang.

She didn’t talk much with anyone in the village, didn’t get close to anyone, only known for hard work.

Today’s incident was indeed his own rashness that left the girl with no choice.

If he were to go back on his word, the rumors in the village might drive her to despair.

After thinking it over, since he promised, so be it.

With the promise, his matrimonial affairs were settled, so his mother wouldn’t have to worry about him anymore.

Even though Yang Xiaocui’s looks were a bit lacking, and her build wasn’t strong, with some nourishment, she should get better.

Although her family wasn’t great, she was a hard worker, which was an advantage.

As for their family, he’d try to avoid them as much as possible in the future.

But, as the third sister-in-law mentioned, the kind of heart-stirring feeling, after getting along for a long time, should develop, right?

"I asked the doctor about it, she fainted from hunger."
