Chapter 224 Returning to the Countryside

Wang Yuemei originally thought that her daughter was going to break up with her boyfriend, but two days later she heard that her daughter was going to go back to the countryside with the boyfriend's parents for a while.

"No, I don't agree. How can a girl like you go there by yourself!"

"Oh, Mom, I'm not alone. I also have Yu An's parents. They said they're not used to city life and want to go back to the countryside. Yu An is busy with work, so I'll just take them back," Xiao Xiao said casually.

"You silly child, how could you be so foolish? Aren't you busy with work?"

"I'll take a few days off, that'll be a good time to rest and take a vacation."

"When will you be back?" Wang Yuemei still looked worried.

"It's only for a few days, Mom, don't worry," Xiao Xiao comforted her.

"Older sister, why is this child so disobedient? How can I be at ease letting her, a girl, go to the countryside all by herself?" Wang Yuemei cried to Old Lady Liu again.

Grandma Liu didn't approve of the idea either, thinking it was too dangerous for a young woman, but all she could do was comfort Wang Yuemei.

“Auntie, that’s perfect. The man’s parents are like this in the city. They’ll definitely dislike your daughter when they go back to the countryside. They’ll definitely cause trouble for you.”

Wang Yuemei became even more worried after hearing Lin Liuyi's words; their daughter had never suffered any hardship.

"Then I'll go and try to persuade Xiaoxiao again!"

“Auntie, your daughter is still not giving up. If you ask me, just let her go. As for your safety concerns, you can hire a bodyguard to go with her without her knowing, but you can find a place to stay nearby. If your daughter changes her mind, you can just take her away.”

Wang Yuemei hardened her heart. Her daughter hadn't given up after several attempts. She was so caught up in the romance that she didn't think there was anything wrong with her boyfriend's family. So she decided to listen to Lin Liuyi and let her suffer a bit. Let's see if she still won't give up this time.

Xiao Xiao followed Yu An's parents to the countryside, and Wang Yuemei secretly followed along with her husband and two bodyguards she had hired.

Xiao Xiaozhou arrived in the countryside exhausted from the journey. When she saw Yu An's mud house, she regretted her decision. However, seeing the beautiful mountains and clear waters surrounding the village, she felt at ease again.

But didn't Yu An say that his family asked him for money to repair the house? How come the house is still so dilapidated?

"Uncle and Aunt, didn't Brother An say that the house was being renovated?"

“Xiao, building a house costs a lot of money. You and Yu An have just graduated, and the family doesn’t want to burden you, so we just did some simple renovations for now.” Yu’s father acted as if we were doing it for your own good.

Xiao Xiao felt a little uncomfortable; how did the house repairs at Yu An's house become her and Yu An's responsibility?

After following Mr. and Mrs. Yu into the house, Xiao Xiao had just put down her luggage when Mrs. Yu called her out to clean.

"Xiao, if we hadn't gone to the city, we wouldn't have needed to clean this house much. Look, now I have to make you help me clean. Ugh, all that dirt outside!"

Xiao Xiao didn't want to talk. If she didn't want to go to the city in the first place, she should have just gone home earlier.

After finally finishing the cleaning, Yu's mother said she was going to kill a chicken for Xiao Xiao and asked her to cook the other dishes at home first.

So Xiao Xiao, who had just finished cleaning, immediately started cooking again.

By the time she finished cooking, her parents still hadn't returned.

What are they doing at this moment? Of course, they are sitting under the tree at the entrance of the village chatting with people.

"Hey, An-ge's mom, didn't you have guests? Why are you still sitting here? Aren't you going to entertain them?"

"Hey, what kind of guest is that girl? She's my Yu An's future wife!"

"Daughter-in-law, then we absolutely must entertain her!"

"No need, my wife makes her cook at home! Once you marry into our family, you have to know how to do chores!"

Yu's father was also bragging to others about how great life was in the city and how successful his son, Yu An, was.

"Yu An is so successful! He even lives in a big house in the city!"

"Yeah, you bet! There's a park downstairs, and a subway station nearby. It's so convenient!"

"Since your Yu An lives in a big house in the city, why didn't you think about fixing up your house? Look, your house is the only one in our village that's still mud. Even Yu Lao Liu's family is building a two-story house this year!"

"A two-story house is nothing, we're building one this year too!"

"Wow, the Yu family has really risen to prominence!"

"Yes, Yu An is really promising!"

The two were still chatting, while Xiao Xiao was starving at home. She was already tired from the journey and transfers, and after getting off the bus, she hadn't rested, but cleaned up and cooked. Now she had been waiting for quite a while.

But since her parents hadn't returned, she didn't dare to start eating.

Finally, after all the villagers who had been chatting at the village entrance had gone home for dinner, Yu's parents packed up and went home.

"Oh dear, Xiao, look how clumsy I am! I didn't even catch the chicken. But Xiao, you're so virtuous. You've already prepared the meal. We, the old couple, are finally enjoying our daughter-in-law's filial piety. An-ge'er was absolutely right when he said you're a good girl!" As soon as Mother Yu came back, she praised Xiao Xiao.

Mr. Yu sat down, tasted a bite of the dish, then coughed and said, "The food's all cold. We'll cook it again when we're almost back!"

Xiao Xiao's initial joy was instantly extinguished. She had worked so hard to cook so many dishes, and Yu An's father still complained that her food was cold.

Xiao Xiao finished her meal in a huff, and then when she wanted to take a shower, she was stumped again.

There was nowhere to take a bath. Her mother told her to boil water and go to the toilet to wash, but she shook her head frantically.

She was extremely prepared when she went to the toilet in the afternoon, afraid that she might fall in. Now, she thought it was better not to go there to take a shower.

Unable to take a bath in the end, she lay on the wooden bed and fell asleep feeling aggrieved.

The first day in the village passed just like that. On the second day, before dawn, Xiao Xiao was woken up by her parents, who said they had to go to work in the fields and asked her to stay home to cook and do laundry.

Xiao Xiao was so sleepy that she nodded absentmindedly and went back to sleep.

Even after the sun rose and Yu's parents returned from the fields, Xiao Xiao still hadn't gotten up.

When Yu's mother saw that the house was empty and the stove was cold, she got angry and went to knock on Xiao Xiao's door.

"Xiao, what time is it? Why aren't you up yet? I asked you to cook, but you won't. How can you be so lazy, little girl!"

Xiao Xiao had been up all day yesterday and had finally managed to get some rest when she was woken up by Yu's mother.

She was so angry that she wanted to cover her head with the blanket, but as soon as she got her head under the covers, she smelled the rotten smell of the blanket and quickly stuck her head out to breathe.

Outside the door, Yu's mother was still knocking incessantly.

Xiao Xiao could only get out of bed with a belly full of morning grumpiness.

"Auntie, why did you wake me up so early in the morning?!"

"Xiao, the sun's already high in the sky, and it's still early morning! You little rascal, how can you be so lazy!"
