Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 1574 - 1576: Who Told You to Lie to Me?

School’s out for the day. Although today, the kids didn’t need to be picked up by adults, Yang Dong passed by and thought of taking the three little ones home.

At the main gate, however, he noticed that today Li Chuntao wasn’t standing there with her usual smile, bidding everyone goodbye. Instead, it was the little maid.

Though he was puzzled, he didn’t ask, and just as he was about to leave with the three children, someone else asked.

"Why isn’t your lady here today?"

Although the academy announced that children didn’t need pickup today, a few parents still came because their kids were younger than others, wanting them to get used to the place a bit more.

Upon hearing the question, Alu replied, "Um, the miss is a bit tired today, so she didn’t come out."

Upon hearing this, someone said, "Must be tired from going to Nanshan, right? I saw her going to Nanshan this morning."

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was attentive. Yang Dong was surprised. Li Chuntao also went to Nanshan?

Yang Daniu and Yang Xiaocui also went there. Why were all three of them heading to Nanshan?

"Uncle, should we go?"

In his confusion, he heard Yang Shushu urging, prompting him to finally lift his leg and take the three kids home.

Li Chuntao locked herself away for a day, initially deeply saddened by what happened, unable to get over it herself.

But ultimately, she overcame herself, realizing that since the incident had already happened, living in the past wasn’t an option.

Besides, nothing happened with Yang Daniu!

How dare Yang Daniu try to force her? She definitely wouldn’t let him off.

But before that, she needed to confirm who it was that made the child lie to trick her. Was it Yang Daniu, or was there someone else?

She found the child who had deceived her that day and said, "Lying is wrong. Tell the teacher, who told you to lie to me?"

The child, upon realizing his lie had been exposed, initially refused to speak out of fear that Yang Xiaocui would make him return the boiled egg.

Seeing the child unwilling to speak and looking very frightened, Li Chuntao pretended to coerce him, "If you don’t tell me, I’ll inform your parents and you won’t be able to attend school anymore."

Upon hearing this, the child was terrified. It wasn’t easy for his family to send him to the academy. He had defeated a few of his brothers for the spot, and if he were sent home now, his parents would scold him to no end.

Thus, the child confessed everything, "It was Sister Xiaocui at the academy who told me to say that. She gave me a boiled egg and asked me to help, saying if I ever mentioned it, she’d make me return the boiled egg. Teacher, can you not say that I told you? I can’t afford to pay back the boiled egg."

Hearing this, Li Chuntao was utterly shocked, never expecting Yang Xiaocui to be the one harming her.

She had been helping Yang Daniu to deceive her up the mountain, even using Yang Dong’s name as a guise.

Since Yang Xiaocui was able to use Yang Dong to trick her, it indicated she already suspected her feelings for Yang Dong.

Regardless, she could confirm one thing: Yang Xiaocui and Yang Daniu were colluding.

What else would they conspire about, besides deceiving her?

"I won’t tell anyone, but lying and deceiving is wrong. I will be watching you. If you continue to do such things, you won’t be able to attend the academy, understood?"

"Understood, I won’t dare do it again."
