Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1014 - 1016: Your Three Hundred Taels Are Still Here, They Won’t Be Lost
Hearing this, Yang Ming turned to look at his wife, who was still curling up her small body, pursed her lips, and then continued to sleep.
This little action made Yang Ming not know whether to laugh or cry. Their lives were almost lost, yet his wife was still thinking about those three hundred taels of silver.
Yang Ming adjusted the quilt for his wife again, saying indulgently, "Don’t worry, your three hundred taels are still there, they won’t get lost."
It seemed Xiaoxiao heard Yang Ming’s words and murmured, "En."
And then she continued to sleep.
Yang Ming had a smile on his face and as he got up, he noticed Old An was still there. He said somewhat awkwardly, "My wife was just talking in her sleep."
Old An also laughed, saying, "The child must be exhausted, let her sleep here. You go wash up."
The two talked as they went out. Yang Ming originally planned to wash up quickly, but Old An insisted he take a good hot bath, and as the family had already prepared hot water, he didn’t postpone any longer.
After all, he had just fought with wild wolves, and his body was covered in a bloody scent, so he really needed a good wash.
After washing, he indeed felt much more comfortable.
Then he quickly washed the clothes he had taken off, hung them to dry, and went to check on his son, inquiring about his condition. This constant flurry of activity made Old An feel a pang of sympathy; this child obviously hadn’t slept for two days, had to deal with wild wolves, and also take care of his wife, truly a burden for him.
He anxiously asked, "Her mother, is the food ready? If it’s done, quickly give the child something to eat; they’re all hungry."
"It’s ready, it’s ready, it’s coming," An’an’s mother replied.
Soon, the food was brought up, and before An’an’s mother could say a word, Old An said, "Child, quickly have some food, then go get some sleep. You don’t have to worry about Little Liufu, there are plenty of us here watching over him."
"En." Yang Ming replied, his eyes slightly reddening.
If his wife hadn’t been taken up into the mountains, he wouldn’t have entrusted his son to the An family, nor would he have told them about Little Liufu’s six toes. After all, in their area, six toes were considered an ominous symbol, one that people avoided whenever possible.
But after he and his wife returned, they didn’t see any disgust on the An family’s faces, only concern.
He thought, is this what it means for good people to receive good things?
They saved An’an, and the An family also helped them in return.
Seeing Yang Ming dazing off, Old An continued, "Quickly eat, there’s more if it’s not enough."
"En, thank you, Uncle An, Aunt An." Yang Ming ate the meals prepared by the An family quickly. Even though the dishes were still light, Yang Ming found them delicious, as he was truly very hungry.
After he finished eating, Yang Ming went to the room where his wife was sleeping. He took the bedding from the kang frame, lay down beside his wife, and fell asleep in just a few seconds.
He really was exhausted.
After leaving the An family, he first went to town to buy sleeping powder before heading up the mountain. Actually, he had been on the mountain for a while, but couldn’t find the way and wandered for a long time in the mountains, encountering small wild animals during this time. In order to conserve his strength, Yang Ming avoided them as much as possible, only fighting when there was no other choice.
Even so, he still used up quite a bit of energy. Finally, heaven did not disappoint the diligent, and he encountered people transporting wine up the mountain. He figured they must be bandits, so he followed them all the way. Just as the bandits encountered a wild beast that needed to be dealt with, he took the opportunity to put the sleeping powder in the wine jar, and that’s how he followed them to the stockade.
