Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1116 - 1118: Take Her Away
"How old are you now? The older you get, the more determined you are, huh?" Old An continued to reprimand An’an. As children grow up, some things need to be taught with discipline; who knows what bigger issues they might cause otherwise.
An’an kept her head down, not speaking, as she listened to her father’s scolding.
Seeing An’an being scolded, Xiaoxiao stepped in to plead, "Uncle An, An’an already knows she was wrong. She definitely won’t do such dangerous things again."
"Sorry to let you witness this." Old An said to Xiaoxiao, feeling a bit embarrassed.
However, as a parent, he couldn’t help but nag a bit more, "This time, nothing happened, but what if it had? You can’t be so willful anymore. Do you hear me?"
"I understand." An’an complied.
Seeing An’an admitting her mistake, Old An stopped saying more. After all, there were others present, and he shouldn’t have said so much; he just couldn’t help it.
Since An’an had been reprimanded, she didn’t dare bring up learning medicine from Xue Zhiyi again. She was afraid that her father, still angry, would disagree, so she planned to mention it after dinner.
Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming understood the young girl’s intentions and didn’t bring it up either. Xue Zhiyi thought not mentioning it was for the best, so everyone tacitly left the topic alone.
The An Family prepared dinner, and everyone ate together.
At the dinner table, Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming mentioned to the An Family that they truly planned to return home this time.
The An Family agreed; after all, there’s no such thing as a feast that never ends, and everyone must part ways eventually as they have their own homes.
The meal was quite enjoyable, and everyone talked a lot.
After dinner, Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming planned to leave, but An’an hadn’t addressed her main issue yet, so they decided to wait to help her speak. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
However, even after the table was cleared and the kitchen tidied up, with everyone gathered inside, An’an still hadn’t mentioned the issue.
Xiaoxiao felt a bit helpless; the young girl had been resolute when talking about this matter, but at the crucial moment, she backed down.
Xue Zhiyi initially thought it was fine if An’an didn’t speak up. If she didn’t say anything, the matter would just pass. But seeing An’an so restless and recalling what she had told him, he thought if he didn’t take An’an with him, she might run off on her own one day, which would be even more dangerous.
After much consideration, he decided he should be the one to bring it up since, in the end, he would be the one taking her away, and he owed the An Family an explanation.
He stood up, looked at Old An, and said, "Uncle An, I’d like to discuss something with you."
An’an, sitting there, suddenly looked up upon hearing his voice, staring at Xue Zhiyi. Was he going to speak on her behalf?
Feeling An’an’s gaze, Xue Zhiyi turned and gave her a reassuring look, signaling her to be at ease.
But this interaction was witnessed by Old An, whose face immediately darkened. He absolutely wouldn’t allow his other daughter to have any relations with Xue Zhiyi. He spoke very sternly, "What do you want to discuss?"
"I want to take An’an as my apprentice, teach her medicine, and take her with me," Xue Zhiyi stated succinctly.
But to Old An’s ears, he ignored the first part and zeroed in on "take her with me." He stood up angrily, slammed his fist onto the nearby table, and roared, "This is absolutely not happening, you can’t take An’an away."
