Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 1706: Chapter 1708: Estrangement

Li Chuntao left the Yang Family with the support of her family.

She originally didn’t want to be supported like this, as the injury on her waist was minor and didn’t hinder her walking. But her mother insisted on supporting her, and her father nodded firmly. She had no choice but to go along with her mother.

Chuntao’s mother didn’t think her daughter was fine; she believed her daughter had just recovered from a serious illness. If anything happened, what could they do? So she insisted on supporting her, saying they’d discuss matters once she was fully recovered.

On the way to Hope Academy, they encountered many villagers.

Everyone was surprised to see Li Chuntao awake, considering she’d been unconscious for several days. There were rumors she might not make it and was beyond saving.

Now seeing her looking well as if nothing had happened, it was indeed surprising.

One by one, they greeted the Li Family with words of gratitude, congratulations, and the like.

Faced with the villagers’ enthusiasm, the Li Family responded with a few words. Xiaoxiao saw that Li Chuntao was unfamiliar with everyone and found an excuse, saying Chuntao had just woken up and needed to rest, so the group left.

After they left, the villagers buzzed like a beehive.

"It’s truly heaven’s mercy that the Li Family’s young lady woke up."

"Indeed, this means there’s no problem with the academy anymore. It won’t be ruined."

"Isn’t that true? But did you notice how the young lady looked at us? It’s like she didn’t recognize us, not like the warmth of before."

"Maybe she’s just scared from waking up, considering the mess that happened."

"That’s true."

"..."

"..."

As people chatted, the discussion shifted to Yang Xiaocui, given Li Chuntao’s current condition was due to Yang Xiaocui.

"It turns out that Yang Xiaocui is marrying Yang Daniu."

"Xiaocui’s mother went just recently, and now she’s getting married. It’s really improper."

"Isn’t it? Over this matter, Yang Xiaocui’s brothers have said they will sever ties with her."

"If my family had a sister who caused ruin like this, we’d cut ties too."

"Who wouldn’t?"

"..."

"..."

Li Chuntao soon arrived at Hope Academy with her family’s support.

She felt unfamiliar with the academy in front of her, the crowd they’d just passed, the enthusiastic in-laws of Xiaoxiao when she left the yard, and even the girl named Alu bustling around her—all was unfamiliar to her.

Standing at the gate, looking at the sign that read Hope Academy, she heard her mother say, "Daughter, this is the academy you founded. You’ve truly shown great capability, making us proud."

On the way, her mother had already told her they were moving out of the Yang Family to live at the academy she established.

She was very surprised; founding an academy?

Could she really accomplish such a big task?

What had happened in this year that led her to transform from her previous self to the current state, and open an academy in Xiaoxiao’s in-law’s village?

Perplexed, she followed her family into the courtyard.

Strangely, this ordinary courtyard radiated a scholarly atmosphere familiar to her.

But isn’t it supposed to be an academy?

Why does it seem like there’s no one around?

Seeing the puzzled look on her mistress’s face, Alu quickly explained, "Miss, there are no children at the academy today because it’s a holiday. Our academy closes three days each month."
