Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside Chapter 1394 - 1396: Why Aren’t They Cut Out for Studying?

When Xiaoxiao says she’ll do sothing, she gets it done. The next day, she went to her uncle’s house.

The reason for going to her uncle’s house first is that her uncle is the elder of the Yang family, and also her grandmother lives there. When inviting soone, you must follow seniority, and naturally, her grandmother is the first.

At this ti, many people were in the uncle’s courtyard, all sitting there shelling corn, of course chatting as they worked, so they didn’t notice Xiaoxiao entering the courtyard.

Leading the conversation were her uncle and aunt.

Aunt: "This year’s rain has been great, look at how much corn we’ve harvested. We should have enough to eat this year."

Uncle: "Even if it’s not enough, it’s okay. This year, our family worked at the second brother’s ho and earned quite a bit of money. If it’s not enough, we can supplent it."

Aunt: "What are you talking about? No one complains about having too much money. Of course, it’s good if the food is enough, but I still want to save the silver for the younger generation. The second brother’s kids have all been sent to school, while ours are still at ho."

Uncle: "Those kids of ours are not cut out for studying."

Aunt: "Why wouldn’t they be cut out for studying? Besides, we don’t expect them to study as well as Yang Ming and pursue a civil service title. Just like the fifth brother, even if he doesn’t stay at ho, at least he can go out and find work, right?"

Hearing this, Xiaoxiao chid in, "Aunt is right, studying doesn’t necessarily an aiming for a title. It’s always good to learn more knowledge, broaden the kids’ horizons, enrich their experiences. It’s very useful for them. Not to ntion, knowing more words will also prevent them from being fooled in the future."

Xiaoxiao wasn’t intentionally eavesdropping; it’s just that no one noticed her entering the courtyard.

She initially intended to speak up, but when she heard her aunt and uncle talking, she instinctively kept quiet, wanting to hear if they were complaining about her family behind their back. But unexpectedly, she heard such conversations, making her feel a bit small-minded.

It seems this aunt of hers is not short-sighted and also wants to send the family’s kids to school, only troubled by the lack of silver now.

Xiaoxiao’s words made everyone in the courtyard notice her, and her aunt said in surprise, "Oh, Yang Ming’s wife, what brings you here?"

"I just got back from my mother’s place a few days ago and thought of coming over to check on Grandma."

"Everything okay at your mother’s place?"

"Yes, everything’s fine. Have you finished the farm work?"

"Yes, all done, just left with the threshing. We’ll grind the cornal for this year’s consumption."

Xiaoxiao exchanged a few pleasantries while standing outside, then said, "Uncle, Aunt, I’ll go inside to see Grandma first."

She was here for business, sothing she had to discuss with Grandma.

"Sure, go on in. Your grandma’s inside," her aunt said and then called toward the house, "Mom, Mom, Yang Ming’s wife is here to see you."

The old lady imdiately ca out when she heard the call, seeing Xiaoxiao with a face full of smiles, she waved, "Granddaughter-in-law, co in, co in."

"Grandma."

And just like that, Xiaoxiao followed the old lady inside. Once inside, the old lady warmly inquired after her well-being, "Granddaughter-in-law, co here, let Grandma have a look at you."

"Why have you gotten thinner? Is it lack of sleep, poor eating, or is it too tiring taking care of the child?"

"When you get back, let your mother-in-law feed you well."

"And our eldest grandson left again? Leaving you at ho alone? That’s outrageous."
