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

Qingshui Town holds a big market every five days. On this day, villagers will take the eggs and woven baskets they have saved at home to the town to sell them for money and then buy some other things they need.

Old Lady Ye and Zhao Li went to the village early in the morning to wait for the ox cart. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went to the market together. Old Lady Ye obviously favored Zhao Li, which made Chen complain again. She gave birth to two sons for the Ye family! Why did the old lady only ask Zhao to go to the market?

Lin was as diligent as ever. After cleaning the house, she went to the river to wash clothes. Ye Xiaomai and Ye Xiaocao didn't have to go up the mountain, so the work of feeding the pigs and chickens, digging wild vegetables and cutting grass for the pigs became theirs again.

As for Ye Wenli and Ye Wenhong, all they need to do is have fun.

Ye Ze kept shaking his head as he watched. He decided that when he had time, he would definitely teach the two little girls in his family to read. Girls should read books to gain knowledge, and become independent and strong.

By the way, he also taught Ye Wenli and Ye Wenhong, which was considered as an early enlightenment for them. After all, the original owner had been to school for a few years, so teaching people to read was not a problem.

When he arrived at Village Chief Ye's house, Village Chief Ye had already harnessed the ox cart and was waiting for him. When he saw Ye Ze coming, he hurriedly asked him to get on the cart, and the two of them drove the ox cart to the county town.

"Look at what time it is now? You knew something happened today but you didn't tell me to get up earlier." Village Chief Ye couldn't help but complain while driving the ox cart.

Looking up at the sun that had just jumped out of the horizon, Ye Ze could only secretly retort in his heart: Is it too late now? !

But what he said was something else: "Uncle taught me that I must get up early in the future. A day's plan begins in the morning. How can I waste time? Right, uncle?"

"Humph!" Village Chief Ye snorted coldly: "If it weren't for your mother and your elder and second brothers, I wouldn't bother to care about you."

"Yes, yes, it's me who caused you so much trouble..."

No matter what Village Chief Ye said, Ye Ze just went along with him, which made Village Chief Ye feel embarrassed to scold him anymore and he just drove the car properly.

The road from Liushu Village to Ninghuai County is mostly mountainous and rugged. It took the two of them nearly an hour to reach Ninghuai County and leave the ox cart at a storage place outside the county gate.

As soon as he got off the ox cart, Ye Ze felt that all the bones in his body were about to be shaken apart by the ox cart. Then he looked at Village Chief Ye. Although he was over 50 years old, he was in very strong body and walked steadily and powerfully.

After stretching his numb legs and feet, Ye Ze hurriedly followed the footsteps of Village Chief Ye and walked into the county town.

Compared with Qingshui Town, the roads in Ninghuai County are much wider. The main road is paved with stone slabs and is clean and tidy. People come and go on the street, and there are shops on both sides. There are even vendors setting up stalls on the roadside, and occasionally a horse-drawn carriage passes in the middle of the road.

Ignoring the beggar in the corner wearing tattered clothes and holding a broken bowl begging for food, Ninghuai County is still quite prosperous and lively.

Ye Ze was walking and observing the shops on the roadside when he was suddenly attracted by the sound in front.

"Please, sir, please be kind and give me some food. Please, sir, please be kind..."

"Get lost! It's so unlucky! It stinks..."

"Ah~"

The man was stopped by a little beggar to beg on the street. He covered his mouth and nose in disgust and kicked the little beggar hard in the abdomen. The little beggar screamed in pain and fell to the ground, curling up in agony.

Unexpectedly, the man was still not satisfied and kicked the little beggar again and again. The little beggar could only protect his head, rolling over and wailing: "Stop, stop kicking, stop kicking, I don't want you anymore, cough..."

"Oh, you are just a beggar that no one wants. Even if I beat you to death, who else can help you to redress your grievances? Pah! I will kick you! I will kick you to death, you ignorant person! You dare to beg from me without asking who I am!"

"Stop!" Seeing this scene, Ye Ze really couldn't bear it anymore. The education he received in his previous life did not allow him to stand by and watch.

A strong man beat up a skinny kid who looked no more than eight or nine years old in the street? What's even more infuriating is that no one stood up to stop it on the busy street. Are they all so indifferent? Are beggars not human beings? !

Village Chief Ye couldn't stop him, he could only stand there anxiously, this unlucky child, why is he meddling in other people's business? The old man sighed and followed him.

Suddenly someone appeared and shouted to stop. The man subconsciously stopped and looked back, and asked in a mocking tone: "What? Do you know him? Is he in the same group as you?"

Ye Ze ignored the man and walked straight to the little beggar, squatting down to look at him. The little beggar had been curled up, his face wrinkled in pain. Ye Ze didn't know how badly he was injured, so he didn't dare to help him up. He asked softly, "How are you? Can you move?"

The little beggar looked up at Ye Ze and forced a smile. It was obvious that he was a good man. The little beggar begged, "I, I'm fine... Can you give me a steamed bun? I just want a steamed bun..."

Ye Ze: “…”

Just want a steamed bun? Ye Ze was angry and clenched his fist unconsciously! He just wanted a steamed bun. If you give it to him, then give it to him. If you don't give it to him, then don't give it to him. What's the point of beating him up? Don't you take the poor man's life as your own?

Seeing that Ye Ze ignored him, the man's face darkened. He looked at Ye Ze quietly. Although the man had a fair face, he was wearing a patched coarse cloth shorts. He might just be a peasant from a nearby village who came to the county town to find a job.

Oh! A peasant like him actually has the mind to meddle in the affairs of a beggar. He is really bored!

The man suddenly regained his confidence and said arrogantly: "Hey, I'm asking you a question, kid! What's your relationship with this little beggar? He just soiled my clothes. You should compensate me for him, or I will report him to the police!"

"I don't know him, and we are not in the same group. Don't report to the police..." After hearing the man's words, the little beggar hurriedly defended Ye Ze.

"Don't know him? If he doesn't know him, how can he care about the life and death of a little beggar like you? Humph!" The man snorted coldly: "You have to pay today, whether you want to or not! This dress of mine is newly made and is worth two taels of silver!"

The little beggar's eyes widened in shock. Two taels of silver? He couldn't take it out even if he was beaten to death.

"You should compensate for soiling my clothes. I can afford the two taels of silver. However, the bill has to be settled clearly before we can talk about compensation, don't you agree, brother?" Ye Ze suppressed his anger, stood up, turned around and looked at him, saying sincerely.

At the same time, he looked at the man in front of him imperceptibly. He had a narrow forehead and a round face, and a pair of bright eyes that rolled around. The man was wearing a navy blue cotton robe that covered his feet, leaving only the tips of his shoes exposed. He didn't look like a poor man from the looks of his clothes.
