Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 1585 - 1587: I Think You and Sister Make a Good Match

As soon as those words were said, the atmosphere became awkward.

Li Chuntao’s face was burning with embarrassment from such words; she quickly explained, "No, no, she’s from the same place as my sister. My sister was coming to town and happened to ride on his carriage, so we came to town together to shop."

The child looked at Yang Dong with an inquisitive face, and Yang Dong was also quite embarrassed. Such misunderstandings were really unpleasant. As a man, he didn’t mind much, but it was different for Li Chuntao, as she was a woman and a very nice one at that, such gossip was unacceptable.

He quickly nodded to the child, letting him know that what Li Chuntao said was true, he was just here to drive the carriage, not anyone’s fiancé.

Children are like this, they speak whatever comes to their mind without thinking much. After hearing the explanation, the child didn’t think much of it and continued, "I thought he was sister’s fiancé. You two look well-matched."

Such words made Li Chuntao’s face, which had cooled down a little, instantly heat up again.

Not only did Li Chuntao’s face heat up, but even Yang Dong felt his ears turning red. The two of them exchanged a glance, both feeling awkward because of the child’s words.

The situation was quite awkward until a kind-hearted old lady broke the tension.

With a slap on the child’s back, the kind-hearted old lady admonished, "Kids these days, what do you understand about being a good match? Stop talking nonsense!"

Then she looked up at Li Chuntao and quickly apologized, "Chuntao, don’t mind what the child said, he’s just talkative without thinking."

Then she looked at Yang Dong, "Young man, don’t mind what the child said either. Are you here to buy some meat? The meat here is good, I’ll weigh it generously for you."

The old lady’s words eased the situation, and Yang Dong spoke up, "It’s nothing, I won’t take it to heart. Ma’am, weigh me some meat—I need five pounds of fatty meat, three pounds of pork belly, all of those large bones, and those pig trotters."

"Alright!" The kind-hearted old lady immediately got busy, weighing the meat for Yang Dong, using weights set high.

Whether for Li Chuntao’s sake or the child’s impolite words earlier, she couldn’t weigh low.

After calculating the price, she wrote off the change, and Yang Dong paid Silver, then he and Li Chuntao left the meat stall.

While the old lady was weighing meat for Yang Dong, Li Chuntao secretly placed Silver on the counter; she couldn’t take the meat for free.

The two left the meat stall and headed to other stalls. Yang Dong really wanted to ask how the old lady knew Li Chuntao, whether Li Chuntao’s health was okay.

But such questions, he couldn’t ask; it wasn’t his business to ask, as he and Li Chuntao weren’t in any kind of relationship.

Yet, the more they roamed the market, the more he discovered Li Chuntao was quite familiar with the people there. At every stall, they received enthusiastic greetings, and his curiosity grew.

Her popularity was surprisingly strong. Clearly, everyone liked her, and because of Li Chuntao, everything he bought was generously weighed, so he got quite a bargain.

Li Chuntao also noticed Yang Dong’s curiosity. She had to explain, smiling as she looked at Yang Dong, she said, "Actually, I used to live in this town for a while, they are my neighbors, so we’re all quite familiar."
