Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1075 - 1077: Reconciliation and Forgiveness

The An Family thought they were just sending An’an back and didn’t realize there was anyone else in the carriage, so they didn’t pay much attention.

But now seeing Xue Zhiyi getting off the carriage, everyone was very surprised, so much so that they were momentarily stunned.

In the end, it was Old An who reacted first and he spoke, "Xiaoxue is back!"

Old An used to call Xue Zhiyi Xiaoxue when he was in the An Family because he looked young. Old An didn’t know his age, so he just called him that. Later, when he learned his age and found out he was involved with his daughter, he didn’t change the nickname.

"Hmm." Xue Zhiyi nodded, somewhat at a loss. Had the family truly forgiven him? But even if they had, he could not forgive himself.

"Well, let’s go inside, and we’ll talk inside." Old An invited them, and the group entered the courtyard.

As Xue Zhiyi stepped into the small An Family courtyard again, each step felt unimaginably heavy, his mind filled with memories of him and An Ping in this courtyard. The time had been short, but he couldn’t and hadn’t ever forgotten.

Finally, he entered the house, and everyone sat down, but he remained standing.

"Uncle An, about An Ping, I’m sorry." He sincerely apologized, then bowed deeply to the An Family members.

This was the first time he faced the An Family directly after An Ping had gone. Previously, he had always been turned away at the door, let alone being invited inside.

The address "Uncle An" was initially something An Ping forced him to use. He had been quite unwilling since her father was only in his forties, not much older than himself.

But An Ping insisted that calling him uncle would make them appear of the same generation. If he didn’t, she would get upset and ask whether he wanted her to be a daughter instead of a wife. He couldn’t argue against her, so he called him uncle.

Now, he didn’t want to change it, because he still wanted her to be his wife.

Thinking about this, his eyes turned slightly red. He still couldn’t accept her departure.

He remained there bowing and didn’t straighten up, waiting for the An Family’s response.

Seeing Xue Zhiyi’s sincerity, what more could the An Family say? The incident was not his fault to begin with. Eventually, Old An sighed and spoke, "Ah, Xiaoxue, An Ping’s situation is only due to her own unfortunate fate. It’s not your fault, please get up."

After Xue Zhiyi stood up, he heard Old An continue, "It was us back then who got too fixated, blaming everything on you and driving you away. We were wrong, and you were wronged because of it."

Hearing this, Xue Zhiyi hurriedly said, "No, no, no, it was all my fault. If I hadn’t left, An Ping wouldn’t have..."

Xue Zhiyi’s words were interrupted by Old An, who shook his head and continued, "It truly wasn’t your fault. Xiaoxiao has already helped us analyze it. If it weren’t for your appearance, who knows, An Ping might have taken her own life over the broken engagement long ago. You allowed us more time with An Ping, and we should thank you, not blame you. Don’t blame yourself either. I heard you stopped practicing medicine? How is that right? So many people are waiting for you to save them."

At this moment, Xue Zhiyi really didn’t know what to say. The An Family’s understanding made him resolve silently to practice medicine diligently, to heal more people, and to prevent tragedies like An Ping’s from happening again.

With that, the An Family and Xue Zhiyi finally reconciled.
