Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1377 - 1379: Bought Meat?

Aunt Lan Hua was eager to sell those herbal medicines, and her steps were quick. She was back from the town by afternoon.

She was carrying a piece of meat in her hand, looked like almost half a pound, and her face was all smiles.

As soon as she entered the village, she ran into the villagers. The two families’ failed marriage negotiations in the morning flew around like a level ten gale, spreading everywhere.

Logically speaking, Aunt Lan Hua shouldn’t be so happy to go and buy meat.

Could it be that in just this half a day, the matter was resolved?

On second thought, the matter probably had to be resolved. Yang Dong agreed to the marriage in front of so many people.

Someone, curious as ever, asked, "Aunt Lan Hua, why are you so happy? Did the marriage get settled? And you went to buy meat?"

Seeing someone asking, Aunt Lan Hua stopped and said, "Regarding the marriage, it’s almost there. I’ll go to their house tonight to discuss it further, and it’ll be basically finalized."

Aunt Lan Hua knew what everyone meant. She had gossiped about others before. At times like this, everyone was just watching for entertainment. Since her daughter had found a good match, most were probably jealous, hoping it wouldn’t work out, but she was determined to prove them wrong.

She raised the piece of meat in her hand, showing off, and said, "This meat is for my little daughter, to nourish her."

With that, she headed towards her home, leaving the people behind looking at each other.

Nourish her body? Yang Xiaocui was already as skinny as a bone, and now they thought of nourishing her?

Thinking of how Yang Xiaocui looked, it seemed she didn’t match with Yang Dong. Moreover, thinking of Aunt Lan Hua’s family, they truly felt sorry for Yang Dong.

This village was small, and no one’s living situation was affluent. For someone as stingy as Aunt Lan Hua to buy meat, the news quickly spread again.

Yang Xiaocui’s brothers and sisters-in-law were working in the fields when they heard about it. Everyone was craving the taste of that meat, and their hands worked faster despite their empty stomachs, as they were long used to hunger.

That evening, the whole family finally tasted the flavor of meat. Half a pound of pork, for over a dozen people, how many bites could each person get?

Everyone ate without a care, wolfing it down, leaving Yang Xiaocui feeling quite helpless.

Her mother seemed so happy; it must mean the medicine sales made a good profit, but they only spent a dozen copper coins to buy half a pound of meat. Yet, that half pound wasn’t enough for the family to even fill their teeth gaps.

She hadn’t even managed to get a bite before it was all gone. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

She sighed in her heart, thinking it was nearly impossible to eat something good at her mother’s house. If she could get enough food in the future, it would be fortunate.

It seemed she’d have to wait until she married into Yang Dong’s family to think about nourishing herself properly.

Aunt Lan Hua, however, still had a bit of conscience. Seeing everyone’s behavior, she quickly knocked on the chopsticks holding the last piece of meat, "Eat, eat, eat, all you know is to eat. Leave some for your sister."

As she spoke, she picked up the last piece of meat and put it in Yang Xiaocui’s bowl, looking very caring, "Daughter, you eat."

Yang Xiaocui looked at that thin slice of meat in her bowl, picked it up with her chopsticks, and slowly savored the taste of pork. No matter what, she finally tasted the flavor of pork, exchanged for by her medicine.

After dinner, Aunt Lan Hua went to Yang Dong’s house. Of course, the family didn’t forget to remind her about using the Yang Family’s ox cart and horse cart, adding another layer of consideration in Aunt Lan Hua’s heart.
