Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1374 - 1376: Sell the Medicine

Upon hearing that her mother finally agreed to the marriage, Yang Xiaocui’s eyes showed a hint of a smile, "Thank you, mother."

Yang Xiaocui’s three sisters-in-law were unwilling but dared not speak up since the mother-in-law had already compromised and was not on their side anymore. When she was on their side, they could voice their opinions, but now that she’s not, speaking up would only earn them scolding, and they might even miss a meal.

Aunt Lan Hua agreed to this matter, but she’s shrewd. If she hadn’t thought of something, why would she easily agree to it?

"Daughter, alright, there’s no need to rush this matter. Your mother will certainly let you marry into their family, don’t worry." Aunt Lan Hua said while advising, "Go back to your room and rest. Don’t do anything these days, just stay home and recuperate well."

Knowing her daughter was pretending to faint, she must stay home and rest; otherwise, she might be exposed. This act must be played to the fullest.

Though it’s clearly pretending, the doctor said her daughter was sick, an absolute quack. She thought, how could eating less cause some illness? They all came through hunger in their childhood without any illness.

However, the news of her daughter fainting from hunger surely spread. If she continued to skimp on her daughter’s food, the villagers would criticize her again.

Besides, her daughter’s frame is indeed small. If she marries over and doesn’t have a child within a year or so, being blamed for being too small would be bad.

Thinking it over, she couldn’t skimp on her daughter’s food, but the medicine wasn’t necessary. Her daughter was just pretending to faint, not really sick, so why drink such costly medicine? If sold, it could fetch a few pieces of Silver.

So she said, "Daughter, you’re pretending, not really sick, so don’t drink the medicine. I’ll go to town one day, sell the medicine, and use the Silver from it to buy some meat to properly nourish your little body."

Upon hearing the medicine would be sold, knowing it was two pieces of Silver including the consultation fee, even after subtracting the consultation fee, and with her sister-in-law having drunk some over the past two days, the remaining medicine could still fetch at least a piece of Silver. The sisters-in-law began calculating again.

"Yes, the little sister isn’t sick. I said that doctor is a quack, a big scam artist, just trying to deceive rural households out of Silver. Fortunately, our family didn’t spend that Silver; otherwise, it would’ve been a huge loss."

"Indeed, it’s better to use that Silver to buy some meat and nourish the whole family. Our family hasn’t tasted oil for a long time, and the little ones are still growing."

"..."

"..."

Hearing the words of her mother and sisters-in-law, Yang Xiaocui was extremely surprised. She looked around the room; although her brothers didn’t speak, it was obvious they thought the same since they wanted to nourish their own children.

She never expected everyone would neglect her health. Though she was pretending to faint, how could the town doctor be fake? Her body was indeed malnourished because she could feel that gripping hunger inside, and her chest really hurt, really hurt.

They even wanted to skimp on her medicine, just for the Silver.

Silver, Silver, Silver, everything was caused by Silver.

At this moment, Yang Xiaocui’s eyes dimmed. She held back, forcing a smile, "Sure, let’s listen to mother and sell that medicine."
