I am a woman, I am a man, I want to marry a wife so that I can farm

Downstairs was a young woman selling wooden combs and bronze mirrors. The woman making trouble in front of the stall turned out to be Zhao Tao. The wooden comb she brought from home had only a few teeth left. She thought, since she was out here anyway, she couldn't just go back without buying anything, right?

Thinking of this, she walked to the stall involuntarily and asked the stall owner about the price of the wooden comb. As a result, her attention was attracted by the bronze mirror on the stall. It would have been fine if she just walked over, but now that the bronze mirror was in her hand, she was unwilling to put it back. She had never had a mirror of her own since she was a child!

What woman doesn’t love beauty?

However, an ordinary wooden comb costs ten coins, while a bronze mirror less than the size of a palm costs six hundred coins.

Zhao Tao wanted to buy it but couldn't afford it, and she was unwilling to give it up. She felt very uncomfortable. Finally, she hardened her heart and bargained for eight cents to buy a wooden comb. While the stall owner was collecting and counting the money, Zhao Tao secretly hid a bronze mirror under her sleeve. Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned around to leave, she was caught by the stall owner.

If you are caught stealing, most people would of course return the items rather than make a big deal out of it.

But Zhao Tao is not an ordinary person. After being caught, she became confident and said, "Didn't I just give you money? Why are you holding my hand? Let go!"

Even though the stall owner knew many people, this was the first time she had seen such a shameless woman. "You only have enough money to buy that wooden comb, but you didn't pay for the bronze mirror?"

"What bronze mirror? Where did it come from? You don't let me go, are you trying to blackmail me?" Zhao Tao pretended to be confused and asked back as if he didn't understand what was said.

The stall owner was anxious, "It's the bronze mirror hidden in your sleeve. How can you take it away without paying?" There were a number of bronze mirrors on the stall, and the stall owner could tell at a glance which one was missing.

Zhao Tao bit her lower lip and put on an aggrieved look: "This is mine, why should I give you money? I brought this bronze mirror from home!"

"What?" The stall owner argued with her angrily, "How can you do this, woman? These are clearly things from my stall, how did they become yours?"

The stall owner grabbed her hand and refused to give in, and the two of them started arguing across the stall. There were already many people at the market, and the commotion here quickly attracted many people to watch.

"What is going on?" asked a woman who didn't know the truth.

The stall owner then explained the whole story in detail. Just when she had explained it clearly and wanted to ask everyone for their opinion, she was interrupted by Zhao Tao loudly. Zhao Tao brought out her own set of excuses again. The bronze mirror was not only on her stall. Now the people who were watching the fun didn't know who to believe.

On the second floor of the teahouse, when Ye Ze saw that the person making trouble downstairs was Zhao Tao, he couldn't help but be surprised for a moment, and then he became worried. He was worried that Zhao Li, because of their deep sisterly love, would run down to help Zhao Tao clarify, and then he would definitely have to stand on the side of his wife.

As a result, Zhao Li just stood quietly by the window looking down, with no emotion on her face.

"Should we go down and help your cousin?" Ye Ze asked tentatively.

Zhao Li shook her head: "No, she's not a child anymore. She should learn to solve problems on her own."

Besides, the two families had long since severed their relationship, so how could Zhao Tao still be considered her cousin? Was there any cousin who would wait to see her younger cousin make a fool of herself?

After going through so many things, Zhao Li has grown up a lot. She is no longer the simple Zhao Li who is bullied by everyone. Many things that she couldn't understand when she was a child are now understood. She knows clearly who treats her well and who treats her badly.

Of course, she would repay double to those who treated her well. Similarly, why should she get closer to those who treated her badly or tried to scheme against her in every way?

After watching enough of the fun, the two sat down at the table. Pregnant women couldn't drink tea, so Ye Ze asked for sugar water for Zhao Li.

Ye Ze was very happy that Zhao Li could see Zhao Tao's true character and no longer associate with her. He reached out and poured Zhao Li a cup of sugar water, and also poured himself a cup of tea to sip.

Downstairs, more and more people gathered. As time went on, Zhao Tao couldn't help feeling a little flustered, but her face still showed that pitiful look of being wronged. She tried hard to break free from the stall owner so that she could leave here quickly.

At this moment, someone outside the crowd suddenly shouted: "The patrol officers are coming..."

The crowd that was surrounded tightly dispersed immediately. A kind-hearted woman reminded them, "Stop arguing, the patrol soldiers are here. We'll know who the bronze mirror belongs to after one trial!"

Today's city patrol soldiers are not vegetarians. They are the ones who can truly solve problems for the people.

The stall owner heaved a sigh of relief. Ever since the founding of the Qian Kingdom, the Emperor has made great efforts to improve the security of the capital. Nowadays, people in the south of the city do not lock their doors at night and people do not pick up things on the streets. If you dare to steal things, you will be skinned alive!

Zhao Tao listened to the discussions of the people around her and felt a buzzing in her head. She immediately broke out in a cold sweat. She couldn't let anyone know that she stole things, otherwise, Wen Ren would not forgive her!

In an instant, Zhao Tao seemed to suddenly wake up. She was so panicked that she didn't care about anything. She dropped the things in her hands, struggled to break free from the stall owner's grip, and ran to the other side like crazy.

At this time, the people watching the excitement finally realized that the little woman who kept shouting that she was innocent was actually a thief! Looking at her young age, I didn't expect her to be able to do such a thing!

Fortunately, Zhao Tao reacted in time, returned the items, and ran away. The stall owner did not pursue the matter any further. When he was tidying up the stall, he found that she not only returned the bronze mirror, but also did not take the wooden comb.

Zhao Tao trotted back to the rental yard and stopped. She stroked her chest and breathed, feeling a little scared. If she hadn't reacted in time and was really taken away by the patrolling soldiers, would it affect Wen Ren's scientific examination?

The answer is yes!

How could I be so foolish as to take the bronze mirror? Zhao Tao patted his head in regret and sighed. This is the capital, under the feet of the emperor. How could such a thing as theft be allowed to happen? He was really confused at that time.

However, fortunately, I ran fast enough, so Wen Ren shouldn’t know about this, right?

As Zhao Tao was thinking this, a clear female voice suddenly sounded behind her: "Eh? Is it you?"

Zhao Tao was so shocked that she turned around and saw a girl who was no more than fifteen or sixteen years old walking towards her.

Zhao Tao subconsciously asked: "Who are you? Do you know me?"

"Of course I know you. Aren't you the thief who just stole the bronze mirror?" The woman looked at Zhao Tao with disdain. Her next words made Zhao Tao panic. "This house is mine. I dare not rent it to a thief!"

"You, don't talk nonsense, I didn't steal anything!" Zhao Tao's heart almost jumped into her throat. She was really afraid that this little girl would tell this matter regardless of the consequences. What should she do then?

Just at this moment, Shen Wenren came back...

"Zhao? What are you doing here?" Shen Wenren spoke, his voice as gentle as jade but slightly cold.

Zhao Tao was stunned on the spot, with only two words left in his mind: It's over!
