After returning, Li Chuntao had been cooped up at ho the whole ti, ultimately having no choice but to be pushed out the door by her mother.
The reason was her mother kept coming up with ways to make delicious food for her, hoping to make her regain the weight she had so painstakingly lost.
Her mother said she looked too ugly being this skinny, and since she didn’t have to think about marrying Yang Dong now, it was better to gain it back first, so it would be easier to find a match after gaining the weight back.
Li Chuntao was utterly speechless; she didn’t understand why her mother would have such a bizarre idea.
Didn’t her mother know that it was because she was too fat that her reputation outside was so bad?
So bad that no one even ca to propose marriage, yet her mother still wanted her to gain the weight back, only to continue having no suitors?
The main thing was, how was she any better looking when she was fat?
Her features were almost squished together; who didn’t say she was ugly?
Only their family said she looked good!
This truly reflected the saying, a family doesn’t mind their own family.
Oh, right, she forgot, everyone in their family was a chubby person, of course, they wouldn’t mind.
However, she didn’t really think she looked that bad before; if it weren’t for her reputation worsening with her weight and reaching the point where she couldn’t get married, plus having an interest in Yang Dong, she wouldn’t have changed.
Now she still thinks she looks better after slimming down, and she only has the courage to stand in front of Yang Dong after losing weight; she would never want to gain back the hard-lost weight, never, even to death, so she had to escape.
She had no choice; her mother knew her too well, cooking whatever she liked to eat.
She almost couldn’t resist several tis.
Once outside, she actually didn’t have anywhere to go; she was fat and ugly before, not familiar with anyone in Stone Village; the only one she was familiar with, Xiaoxiao, had married into Yang Family Village.
She could only stroll around the main square.
Even though it was a busy farming season and so families hadn’t finished their farm work, there were still a few scattered people on the main square.
Li Chuntao recognized those few people; it would be too impolite not to greet them, especially since even when she was fat, she greeted everyone, and her reputation in this village wasn’t too bad.
If it were really bad, how could her family tolerate it?
It was just because her appearance was really too much; people didn’t want to marry her.
But when the word spread outside, it twisted the story, worsening her reputation farther out.
"Sister-in-law Wang, Aunt Han, Aunt Qian..."
Those few people had already noticed Li Chuntao; they were wondering whose relative looked this pretty and ca to Stone Village for a visit.
But hearing the girl calling out, obviously recognizing them, they were all shocked and asked, "Whose daughter are you?"
"Aunt Han, I’m Li Chuntao."
Hearing this, they were shocked again, incredulously asking, "Are you really Li Chuntao?"
Who didn’t know Li Chuntao, chubby, features hard to describe; if she looked as nice as this girl in front, the matchmakers would have worn out the threshold at the Li Family, but because of her unappealing face, even though her family had money, no one wanted to propose.
Facing everyone’s questioning, Li Chuntao felt a bit awkward; she hadn’t appeared in Stone Village in ages because of losing all that fat.
When returning ho, the carriage went straight to her house, and when leaving, it left directly out of the village, so she hadn’t appeared before anyone in the village.
Now it was so much so that no one recognized her.
She hurriedly explained, "It’s really . I reached the age of marriage, but no one ca to propose, so I thought it might be because I was too fat. So over the past year, I controlled my weight a bit, and now I’m finally slim enough to be seen."
