Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside
Chapter 36: Coddling the Old Child

Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Coddling the Old Child

"Grandma, you’re right, your grandson is just like you, handsome as a jade tree in the breeze, suave and debonair, truly a sight to behold. I’m like burning incense to my good fortune for being able to marry him, snagging such a great deal!" Haha, haha, not even knowing what one looks like, oh heavens, please forgive me for telling such blatant lies with my eyes wide open! But that part about being like you wasn’t a lie at all, speaking in such an annoying way! How could one just bluntly call someone ugly? It seems Yang Ming has inherited the old roots, definitely inherited!

"Hmm, at least you know what’s good for you!" The old lady’s frown slowly relaxed upon hearing Xiaoxiao’s words!

"How many days have you been married by now?"

"Grandma, it’s almost ten days now!"

"Almost ten days! What, you look down on me who’s nearly ready to be buried?"

"How could I, Grandma? There’s an old saying that a family with an elder is like possessing a treasure. How could you be nearly ready to be buried? You ought to live to a ripe old age! Just wait for us, your descendants, to dote on you...."

Xiaoxiao once again unleashed her silver tongue, almost spitting as she spoke, but it was quite a feat to have sweet-talked this old child! It really was no easy task!

Laughter echoed from within the house, and Uncle’s entire family was surprised. This old lady was notoriously hard to please, yet this new daughter-in-law managed to make her so happy that she even laughed out loud; it had been so long since they’d heard laughter from the old lady since Grandfather passed away!

"Quick, get the food ready!" Uncle Yang Dazhu was truly delighted. Just seeing how happy the old lady was, today’s meal was a must.

"Hmph!" Auntie responded disdainfully, but regardless, she truly admired Xiaoxiao for having tamed the formidable old lady and obediently went to the kitchen to prepare the meal.

"Lovely, lovely, sing another one!"

"And then, what happened next? Did they switch the real and fake princesses back?"

"..." Xiaoxiao was at a loss for words, entertaining this old child was really not easy, singing, dancing, and storytelling, she even brought in ’Legend of the Pearl Princess’! This old lady was either eccentric or suffering from senility that needed pampering!

Knock, knock! The sound of knocking on the door rang out!

"Mom, the meal is ready!"

"Stop the noise, I haven’t finished listening yet!" The old lady glanced disdainfully at this daughter-in-law who dared to interrupt her story time!

"Grandma, you may not be hungry, but I am. Can you bear to let your granddaughter-in-law go hungry? Don’t you feel sorry for me?" Xiaoxiao internally gave a hundred and twenty thumbs up to her Auntie, her true savior. She was about to talk herself hoarse, and now, at last, she didn’t have to keep going!

"I do feel sorry, I do, come along with Grandma and let’s eat!" The old lady took Xiaoxiao by the hand and headed to the kitchen. Uncle’s family had plenty of rooms, so they had a separate dining room; unlike at Xiaoxiao’s mother-in-law’s place, where they had to carry meals to the Main House when it was time to eat.

Upon reaching the kitchen to eat, Xiaoxiao saw Uncle’s whole family: Uncle, Auntie, their eldest son’s family of three, their second son’s family of three, and their third son’s family of three. Xiaoxiao wondered why there were no daughters in the family; were the genes here so good that they only provided Y chromosomes? Her own family had all boys, and now in her in-laws’ house, it was the same, but it wasn’t until much later that Xiaoxiao learned there was a big secret behind her in-laws’ situation!

Though Auntie seemed rather formidable, she was never lacking in human kindness. The table was laid out with abundant dishes, and not a bit of the two pounds of meat they brought was withheld. Xiaoxiao thought to herself that sometimes you can’t judge a person by their appearance; considering the matter of repaying the money, if it hadn’t been for her, they might have been paying it back for ten years, which is not something the average person would agree to so readily!
