Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 1829: Chapter 1831: In the End, She Still Couldn’t Say It

In the evening, Guo Feng came home, still unaware of what had happened.

As he entered, he heard Little Yueyue crying and immediately walked over, speaking in a very indulgent tone, "Oh dear, my sweet daughter, why are you crying?"

Little Yueyue was very obedient and sensible. Since she was born, she could eat and sleep well, seldom crying in this way that couldn’t be soothed.

"Let me hold her, let me see what’s wrong?"

Guo Feng took the child into his arms, but Little Yueyue continued to cry and hadn’t wet or dirtied her diaper.

This situation made Guo Feng worried, "My wife, could our daughter be sick?"

"Maybe she’s hungry, she didn’t seem to eat enough today," Xiaotian replied.

Since being questioned by her mother-in-law, she had been so upset that it led to her milk drying up, leaving Little Yueyue without food.

Upon hearing this, Guo Feng, not realizing Xiaotian’s milk had dried up, simply thought Little Yueyue was growing and eating more, so he quickly instructed the kitchen to warm up some milk for Little Yueyue.

The family had already taken precautions against the child being underfed by keeping a dairy goat.

After giving instructions to the household, he returned to Xiaotian’s side and comforted her, "It will be ready soon, don’t worry, the child is growing and can eat more."

"Okay."

Xiaotian said nothing more; she really couldn’t bring herself to speak. She felt that mentioning separation and taking the child away would be too cruel for him.

However, if she told him the truth, he would still be hurt.

She was torn; she felt if she didn’t exist, none of these things would have happened. She had hurt two men who cared for her.

Guo Feng seemed to notice Xiaotian’s absent-mindedness, so he asked, "Wife, what’s wrong?"

"Nothing!"

Very soon, the goat milk was brought in, and after drinking, Little Yueyue finally fell asleep peacefully.

Guo Feng and Xiaotian also lay down to rest.

Lying there, Xiaotian couldn’t fall asleep. She tentatively asked, "Brother, I’m still very worried. If Mom and Dad find out about Little Yueyue, they might not let us stay together."

With these words, Guo Feng finally understood why Xiaotian was so preoccupied; she was still worried about this matter.

"Don’t worry, with me here, if they find out and can’t accept it, I’ll take you and move out."

Upon hearing this, Xiaotian’s heart sank; she knew he wasn’t going to let go.

But she also didn’t want to see him in conflict with his family because of her.

What was she supposed to do now?

Xiaotian said nothing more, and Guo Feng, afraid she might overthink, continued, "Don’t worry, I’ll definitely protect you."

"Okay!"

...

...

Ultimately, Xiaotian still couldn’t bring herself to speak, and three days passed like this.

Madam Guo saw that Xiaotian and her son showed no intention of separating, and she was furious.

She found Xiaotian again and sternly said, "I’m giving you a chance to divorce my son and leave with dignity, but you refuse. Do you really want to tear things apart? Should I invite your parents over and tell them the sordid things you’ve done?"

Madam Guo felt she had already been very accommodating. The reason she asked Xiaotian to initiate the separation was, first, to avoid a fallout with her own son, and second, to give Xiaotian some face.

After all, Xiaotian was a child she had raised for ten years, and though not her biological daughter, she had treated her as her own. If she hadn’t been desperate back then, she wouldn’t have sold her.

But now, what use was it to say this? No matter what, Xiaotian had hurt her son, and she had already done everything she could.
