<h4>Chapter 8: Chapter 8: Returning to My Mother''s House with My Younger Brother-in-Law</h4>
In the evening, Xiaoxiaoy on the kang bed, revisiting the words her father-inw had said at dinner, "Third son''s wife, since the third son has gone to the Academy and won''t return until tomorrow, it''ll have to be the fourth son apanying you on your trip back home. Your mother has prepared everything for the return-home gifts!" Hehehe, to be apanied by a young brother-inw on a visit back to her parent''s house, aside from the unfortunate her, she guessed there was no one else quite as peculiar. It was just a matter of facing whateveres, she thought, and a good opportunity to see what sort of ce her parental home was!
Xiaoxiao tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Her mind raced through all the novels she had read like flipping off a light, considering how transmigration masters either had a "Golden Finger" or were just cheats in themselves, bing omnipotent in ancient times, able to create anything. Thinking it over, she felt that being life-disabled as she was, it would be best to find a substantial golden thigh totch onto—that was the real deal. In time, just like other transmigration masters, she would find a good husband, have a chubby baby, and live a happy, fulfilling life. Haha, after thirty years of being single, she finally fell asleep dreaming sweet dreams!
Yang Dong, the Yang Family''s fourth son, was the same age as Xiaoxiao, fifteen years old, with an estimated height of around 1.63 meters, healthy wheat-colored skin, and a youthful face that promised to mature into that of a tough guy. He had borrowed an ox-cart early in the morning and left with his third sister-inw.
As Xiaoxiao sat on the ox-cart, she checked the gifts for her return home: two chickens, a rabbit, twenty eggs, a jar of wine, and the pastries they had bought from the town yesterday. She wasn''t sure if it was too much or too little! She was somewhat impatient to visit her parental home, and about halfway through the journey, Xiaoxiao just couldn''t hold it in any longer!
"Fourth brother, let''s chat for a bit, it''s too boring to travel in silence!"
"Why don''t you tell me about our household, um, like who''s in the family, how muchnd we have, what we grow," she continued talking when she saw her fourth brother ignoring her.
"Counting you, there are twelve people in our family: father and mother, the eldest brother''s family of four, the second brother''s family of three, your family of two, and me."
"Thend is allocated per person; right now, we have eleven acres, and yours hasn''t been divided yet."
"We grow corn!"
"Is that it?" Xiaoxiao thought to herself that this really was a reticent fellow, answering only what was asked, sinctly at that, without a single superfluous word.
"Then tell me how our family earns money? Isn''t the third brother studying? Those brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones, and books are so expensive, do we have the silver to support him?"
"Thend is enough to feed us, and when we''re not farming, we go out to work. The third brother also copies books for others!"
"That''s it again! Can''t you say a bit more? It''s really boring when all you do is answer questions!"
The fourth brother fell silent once more, and Xiaoxiao felt like tearing her hair out in frustration. Fine, be silent!
Before they knew it, they had arrived at her parental home in Stone Vige. The sight was quite a contrast; while the Yang Family''s vige had houses of earth, Stone Vige was wealthier, with every house made of stone.
"Xiaoxiao''s back, and is this your husband? He looks quite handsome," the vigers started to inquire as soon as they saw Xiaoxiao entering the vige!
"Oh, no, this is my younger brother-inw!"
"......" The vigers were immediately dumbfounded. What was this all about!
Fourth brother looked on in astonishment. He had onlye to make up the numbers, and here his third sister-inw had blown his cover. Was third sister-inw really as naive as she seemed, or was it something else? He just couldn''t figure it out.
At this moment, an elderly woman in her fifties approached. When Xiaoxiao spotted her, she couldn''t help herself; she jumped down from the ox-cart and ran over, throwing her arms around the old woman, crying her heart out, all the pent-up grievancesing to the fore, as she blurted out words that no one else could understand.
"Mom! Mom..."
