Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside Chapter 688 - 690: Cutting Toes is Imperative

Yang Ming had gotten the child from his sister-in-law as soon as he got ho, thinking it was better to take care of the child himself.

The family actually already knew about the child’s six toes. He and Xiaoxiao had told the family before they went to Lin County. Living together, such a thing could not be hidden; asking the sister-in-law to take care of the child would inevitably expose it sooner or later.

Although everyone initially rejected the idea, fearing that the six toes were a bad on, they were persuaded by Old Father Yang to keep the matter secret and not let the villagers find out. Once discovered, they feared the villagers might drive the child away or even them.

Yang Ming had just soothed the child to sleep when he noticed his wife had co into the room.

He was sowhat surprised, "Wife, how did you co back?"

As soon as Xiaoxiao entered the room, she called out, "Son."

"Shh!" Yang Ming quickly gestured, "The child has just fallen asleep, keep it down."

"Oh, oh." Hearing that her son was asleep, Xiaoxiao tiptoed to the side of the kang and glanced at her son, who appeared to be sleeping soundly.

"Wife, how did you co back, weren’t you supposed to stay there for the night?"

"Yeah." Xiaoxiao’s mood was clearly low; she had been in a carriage all day and had only just gotten ho, completely exhausted. She then flopped down onto a chair by the kang, leaning back, "Husband, I’m so tired."

Yang Ming quickly ca over, massaging his wife’s shoulders, and asked, "What exactly happened?"

While enjoying Yang Ming’s massage, Xiaoxiao said in a low tone, "It’s confird, my sister is getting married to the Han family in three days."

Upon hearing this news, Yang Ming’s hands paused for a mont but then continued massaging his wife’s shoulders, too shocked to comprehend, How could this be?

"In three days, my sister will marry out from our ho, how could I not co back for that, as we need to discuss with our parents what all we need to prepare."

"Isn’t this too sudden?"

"What can we do? Sister has made up her mind; all we can do is bless her." Xiaoxiao continued, "But, I’ve already told Acheng, he should be able to go see Master Chu; anyway, that’s the situation."

Yang Ming had intended to visit Chu Mansion to check if Chu Lian had returned, but it seems he had not; they could only rely on Acheng now.

"Wife, I want to discuss our son’s matter with you."

Hearing this, Xiaoxiao beca alert, sitting up straight, "Husband, those soldiers today..."

Yang Ming nodded, "Yes, I fear they ca for our son; they weren’t here to take the child back. In my view, they ca to take his life."

These words made Xiaoxiao’s heart skip a beat, she had thought the sa, "Husband, actually in our place, having six toes is no big deal; we can find a doctor to remove one and he’ll look just like a normal person. Do you have such doctors here?"

Xiaoxiao expressed her thoughts; she initially did not consider the six toes to be a big deal, but after encountering the soldiers, she no longer felt the sa. For the sake of their son’s future safety and to live normally in the village, removing a toe was imperative.

Hearing his wife’s words, Yang Ming’s eyes lit up, if it was as his wife said, then their son would be safe, "Wife, then let’s find such a doctor."

"Yes, but we must not talk about it everywhere, to avoid exposure."
