Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1022 - 1024: Even Made Him Cry Out of Anger

Originally, Xiaoxiao thought those people were just passed out from drinking. How could everyone who’s drunk be sprawled there motionless like a dead pig? People act in all sorts of ways after drinking, not just this one kind of state.

Sometimes Xiaoxiao is incredibly shrewd, and sometimes she’s overly innocent. With a slight smile on his lips, Yang Ming said fondly, "Wife, you’re really smart to think of getting them all drunk and passed out. It’s a good thing you did; otherwise, I wouldn’t have known how to get in and rescue you."

"Haha, I knew you’d come to save me. If I managed to get one drunk and passed out, you’d have one fewer to deal with. I didn’t expect to get them all like that. Am I awesome or what?"

Yang Ming playfully ran a finger along his wife’s nose and said, "Yeah, my wife’s amazing. But from now on, you shouldn’t drink like this, got it?"

Drinking is inherently harmful to the body, and it’s better if Xiaoxiao doesn’t drink. Moreover, the thought of Xiaoxiao trying to escape on her own terrified him; they both nearly lost their lives. It would have been so dangerous if she’d gone down the mountain by herself.

"Hmm, understood." Xiaoxiao had already decided not to drink anymore because drinking is harmful to the body, and she needed to take care of her health. She couldn’t drink like this; it was a special circumstance this time. "You haven’t told me how you found the stockade. This mountain is huge."

"Yeah, it wasn’t easy to find. I wandered around the mountain for a while, then came across some people transporting wine. I figured if they’re lugging wine up the mountain, they must be bandits, so I followed them."

"So that’s how it was. Did you encounter any wild beasts on the mountain?" After last night’s ordeal, Xiaoxiao knew there were many wild beasts on the mountain. Yu Niang also mentioned the abundance of wild beasts here.

"No, it’s not that easy to run into them. I only came across some little critters." Yang Ming didn’t tell the truth because he didn’t want his wife to worry. "If I had encountered any, would I have made it to the stockade?"

"True, haha."

Yang Ming suddenly recalled the bandit hideout when the topic came up. "I really didn’t expect the person we met in Anding Village to be the Bandit Leader, let alone him taking you up the mountain. Did he do anything to you?"

"He didn’t do anything to me, but I nearly drove him crazy with anger." Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, and it indeed seemed to be the case.

"... What exactly did you do?"

"I even made him cry with rage."

"..."

Xiaoxiao recounted how she made a scene in the bridal chamber and stepped on his wedding clothes. Yang Ming’s face went dark upon hearing this. "How outrageous."

"..." Okay, she admitted it was a bit excessive, but she didn’t know those wedding clothes were that important.

"He actually wanted you to be his village bride. I should’ve dealt with him yesterday."

"..." Huh? Yang Ming’s focus was on this? "Um, it wasn’t him who took me up the mountain, nor did he plan to make me his bride. It was all his subordinates acting on their own."

"Not him? What happened?" Yang Ming’s focus, of course, was on the village bride issue because that was his wife they were talking about. He didn’t care in the least whether that guy cried or not.

"When I was taken up the mountain, he wasn’t there at all. The people in the stockade didn’t even know when he’d come back, but he returned later..."

Xiaoxiao then told Yang Ming everything that happened on the mountain, including how the stockade didn’t seem like a bandit hideout. She also analyzed that the people rescuing them might have been the ones returning to the stockade.

They chatted until late into the night, and finally, Xiaoxiao began to feel sleepy. The couple then went to bed.
