Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 1819: Chapter 1821: There’s Something Else for You to Do

Upon hearing the news, his heart felt especially uncomfortable; he was the boss of the family, yet in the end, he turned out to be the most useless one in the family. Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but lower his head, feeling somewhat dejected and unable to face his family.

Seeing her husband’s demeanor, Yang Chun’s wife guessed what he was thinking, so she reached out and gently nudged him, giving him a meaningful look. Only then did Yang Chun raise his head to continue listening.

Though Yang Chun’s wife usually spoke little and wasn’t good at conversations, she was not lacking in cleverness; she was even somewhat sharp-minded. The sister-in-law spoke like this for a reason, there must be some arrangement behind it, it wouldn’t be without purpose, so she signaled her husband not to worry and to keep listening.

Indeed, Xiaoxiao continued, "Our Angling Garden can’t open without the grilled fish skills; these skills I don’t intend to pass on to outsiders, only our family will do it. This way we can attract others to come fish and eat fish at our place. I want Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law to learn this skill, then they’ll manage the Angling Garden. Right now the fish pond is running smoothly, then Second Brother can manage both places."

Everyone understood Xiaoxiao’s words; although they weren’t business savvy, over the past year they’ve picked up quite a bit from Xiaoxiao, and they knew that the grilled fish was central to the Angling Garden.

Second brother’s wife was the first to speak, "Sister-in-law, if you trust us, we’ll do it."

Second brother Yang Gang also promised, "Sister-in-law, don’t worry, Second Brother will definitely handle it well."

Xiaoxiao nodded, "We’re all family, of course, I trust you."

Then she turned to look at the Eldest Brother and Sister-in-law, noticing that Eldest Brother’s emotions seemed off, fearing he might have misunderstood, she quickly said, "Eldest Brother, Sister-in-law, don’t overthink it. The reason Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law are managing the fish pond is because there are other things for you to do."

"Eldest Brother, aren’t you always going out with Fourth Brother to find new things, gather wild goods? You’ve probably seen a lot of wild goods outside, and I was thinking maybe we also have some on our mountain, we don’t necessarily need to go outside to gather them. So I want you to manage our mountain this year, have people go into the mountain for wild goods, and also manage the hazelnut grove. Whatever wild goods you gather, let Sister-in-law handle them. Sister-in-law is meticulous, better than all of us."

Upon hearing this, Eldest Brother Yang Chun’s eyes lit up; he realized he wasn’t being excluded, but rather entrusted with another task. He excitedly agreed, "Sister-in-law, don’t worry, leave it to Eldest Brother."

Yang’s father saw his eldest son’s earlier expression, and quickly spoke, "Third sister-in-law has no ulterior motives for this family, and neither should you. Everyone does what they are good at, don’t start imagining things just because someone isn’t involved in something. If anyone harbors any doubts, they should go ahead and live separately."

Upon hearing this, Eldest Brother Yang Chun shivered a little; the father seemed to be admonishing him, so he quickly said, "Father, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have doubted just now. I was just thinking as the boss in the family, I’m not as useful as my younger siblings. I won’t think like that in the future, I’ll do what I can, and certainly harbor no ulterior motives."

As the topic shifted, Yang Ming promptly interjected, "Father, don’t worry, none of us siblings dare have any outside thoughts. Let’s all hurry up and eat, the fish is really quite tasty."

After Yang Ming’s attempt to smooth things over, everyone else also assured there were no ulterior motives, and so the family resumed eating.
