Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1350 - 1352: Yang Xiaocui’s Thoughts (Part 1)
After everyone had left, the small figure lying on the kang opened her calculating eyes.
Actually, she had already been awake; one could say she hadn’t slept at all.
In the family, she was always the least favored, eating the least and doing the most.
Above her, there were three married brothers and two married sisters.
Logically speaking, as the youngest daughter, and having been born when her parents were old, her treatment shouldn’t have been so poor.
But unfortunately, just a few years after she was born, her brothers’ children started being born, and most of them were boys.
As the saying goes, grandchildren are even closer, so ever since her nephews and nieces were born, she was completely ignored by her mother.
Her brothers, of course, loved their own kids more, and with their wives whispering in their ears, they cared even less about her.
Her sisters were married off and struggled at their in-laws’, rarely coming home each year.
Her father passed away years ago, and from a young age, she started helping take care of her nephews and nieces, assisting with household chores, becoming the main labor force in the family.
If she didn’t care well for her nephews and nieces, or didn’t do chores well, she was sure to be scolded and beaten.
Over the years, she endured plenty of grievances, sometimes even when it wasn’t her fault, she put up with it.
Over time, she became less talkative, focusing solely on her work, eating only what’s allotted to her, though it was far from enough, leaving her stomach very hungry.
Because her mother always said that a mere girl wouldn’t need so much food, she became very self-conscious, feeling that this was all because she was a girl, thinking that if she were a boy, perhaps more food would be given to her.
Over the years, her demands were minimal; she only wished to have a full meal.
As she grew older, she understood that she would have to get married someday, and she hoped to marry into a good family, at least to have enough to eat.
Finally, she was fourteen, and her mother began arranging her marriage.
She knew her mother had her eye on Yang Dong, the youngest son of the Yang Family, and knew that Yang Dong was also looking at girls.
For this, her mother even brought her birth details to the matchmaker, hoping the matchmaker would say good things about her, but the matchmaker replied that he wasn’t interested in her.
She was extremely disappointed, thinking it was expected; with their family being so good now, how could they be interested in a plain-looking and poor girl like her.
She had actually given up, but unexpectedly met Yang Dong on the road at noon today.
Seeing his well-defined features, she got impulsive and wanted to fight for herself once.
She pretended to faint, and to her surprise, he was truly a good person, immediately coming over and carrying her back to the village.
Lying on his broad back, she thought to forgive herself this once; if successful, she would treat him well in the future.
Finally entering the village, hearing the villagers’ voices, she realized an opportunity had arisen, so she woke up.
With her repeated efforts, he agreed to marry her, though she could tell he was very reluctant.
The farce finally ended; she used her reputation to exchange for his proposal, feeling utterly shameless at the moment, she pretended to roll her eyes and faint again.
Sure enough, he was a good person, carrying her back, even taking her to his home to get a doctor.
She planned to wake up early, but wasn’t sure how to face it, so decided to keep pretending.
Feeling the moisture on her forehead, she knew it was her future mother-in-law wiping her face; the cloth touched the big bump on her forehead, it hurt so much, but she was used to enduring pain since childhood, this little pain she could bear.
