After being driven out of the farm by Miss Luo, Madam Luo had to live in a tavern in the market.

Looking at the shabby and narrow house, listening to the sound of raindrops outside, and thinking about the unfinished task, Mrs. Luo felt very annoyed.

Fortunately, the rain stopped after three days.

Mrs. Luo wore wooden clogs and went to the market street to relax.

Not long after they walked, someone bumped into her. Mrs. Luo grabbed the man and asked, "Where are your eyes?"

The two women who followed her, Lai Xi's family and Awang's family, grabbed the man on the left and right, and said, "You are courting death! How dare you bump into our Lady Luo?"

The one who ran into Madam Luo was Xia Jicai.

When he saw the elegantly dressed woman in front of him, his aura suddenly waned, and he hurriedly apologized, "Madam, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

"Jicai, what's the matter?" Xia Chen strode over holding the hands of her youngest son and daughter. She found her eldest son talking to a noble lady. She stared at the lady for a few seconds and said in surprise, "Oh, I know you. You are Mrs. Luo, a relative of Luojiazhuang, right?"

Seeing that there was no loss, Mrs. Luo patted her sleeves and turned to leave.

The streets are full of such people, and she is too lazy to talk to the country women and men.

But Xia Chen walked over, stopped Madam Luo and said with a smile, "Come to think of it, Madam Luo has some relationship with us."

Mrs. Luo was in a bad mood, and she became even more annoyed when she was stopped by a country woman, "Get out of the way."

Seeing that Luo's wife had turned cold, Awang's wife pointed at Xia Chen and sneered, "Who are you? Who has anything to do with you? Stop flattering yourself."

Xia Chen smiled and said, "My daughter is Mr. Yan's fiancée. You all saw my daughter on the day Mr. Yan held a banquet, right? Oh, to be precise, it's my second daughter. The eldest daughter is married." She pushed Xia Chunfang again, "This is my third daughter."

When Yan Heng hosted a dinner party, many people in the village gathered at the gate of the manor to watch the fun. Xia Chenshi also went there quietly and saw Madam Luo entering Yan Garden with people carrying gifts. She heard someone calling the woman with a Beijing accent "Madam Luo".

Because everyone else was a local, only Mrs. Luo and her entourage spoke the Beijing dialect, so she remembered it.

It would have been fine if Xia Chenshi hadn't said anything. But as soon as she said she was Xia Xiaorou's mother, Mrs. Luo's face immediately turned gloomy and cold. "So you're a member of Xia's family. Haha, a woman from the countryside is qualified to talk to people from the capital? Get out of here!"

She pushed Xia Chen away and left arrogantly with her two female attendants.

Xia Chen glared, "From the capital? Are people from the capital so great?"

She held her youngest son's hand and scolded Xia Jicai, "Let's go, let's go buy some rice!"

Xia Jicai waved his hand and said, "Mom, I have something to do."

He turned around and squeezed into the crowd, chasing after Madam Luo.

Xia Chen stamped her feet and cursed, "Stop causing trouble for me!"

Xia Jicai had already walked far away and didn't hear it.

He chased Madam Luo all the way to a small teahouse.

"Madam." Xia Jicai cupped his hands towards Madam Luo and flattered her in a flattering manner.

Mrs. Luo looked disgusted, "What's the matter?"

"Xia Xiaorou...is not my sister, but my stepsister, my mother's stepdaughter." Xia Jicai said respectfully with a smile.

"So what?" Madam Luo said calmly.

"Actually... she was engaged to me since childhood, but she broke her promise and got together with the boy from the Song family. The boy from the Song family didn't want her, so she ran off to find Mr. Yan. Alas... I'm a country boy, how can I compare to Mr. Yan?" Xia Jicai shook his head and lamented.

Madam Luo narrowed her eyes and stared at Xia Jicai, "Have you ever been engaged to Madam Xia?"

"Yes, it was my stepfather and my mother who made the decision. It was based on our parents' orders," said Xia Jicai.

"Ms. Luo, this Madam Xia is really not a simple person." Awang's family looked disdainful and smiled softly.

"I wonder if Mr. Yan knows about this?" Lai Xi's family also said.

"What you said is not false, right?" Madam Luo stared at Xia Jicai and asked.

Xia Jicai felt guilty, so of course it was fake.

Xia Xiaorou is actually going to marry Yan Langjun. She has married someone so high that she doesn't even help her family. Xia Jicai is very angry.

That damn girl never even looked at him straight in the eye, he was going to teach her a lesson.

He straightened his neck and said loudly, "Of course it's true. If you don't believe it, go ask my mother."

Madam Luo chuckled, "What's the point of telling me all this? I'm not Mr. Yan. You should talk to Mr. Yan. If Mr. Yan knows that you are engaged to Xia, he will definitely divorce Xia. In this way, you will have a wife, right?"

After saying that, he patted Xia Jicai on the shoulder and said, "If you marry your stepsister, I will definitely give you a gift."

Xia Jicai opened his eyes wide, "Really?"

Madam Luo took out some money from her sleeve and handed it to Xia Jicai, "Of course it's real. I'll give you some wine as a reward. Think about how to tell Mr. Yan."

Xia Jicai took the money and nodded with a smile, "Thank you, madam."

"You're welcome." Madam Luo smiled and left with her two female attendants.

After walking for a while, Awang's family turned back to look at Xia Jicai and asked Mrs. Luo, "Mrs. Luo, that man just now was obviously a liar. How could you believe what he said?"

"If he still wants to get more money, he will show it. No matter whether what he said is true or false, as long as he goes to find Xia Xiaorou, the money will be worth it." Mrs. Luo raised her lips and sneered, looking at the two of them, "In this way, haven't we completed the task?"

The eyes of the two female attendants lit up. Yes, this is a good thing.

-

How could Xia Jicai really dare to look for Yan Heng?

Even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare.

But he dared to look for Xia Xiaorou.

Xia Jicai took the thirty or so coins given by Mrs. Luo, spent ten coins to buy a pot of liquor, and then went to the gambling house with the remaining money. Unexpectedly, he lost all his money before he could even sit down.

Having no money can give you more courage.

Xia Jicai rolled up his sleeves, hurried back to the village, and went straight to Xia Xiaorou's house.

Xia Xiaoying's two children were playing outside the house.

When they saw Xia Jicai, they blinked and asked, "Uncle, who are you looking for?"

"Where is your aunt?" Xia Jicai stretched his neck and looked towards the courtyard gate.

"My aunt went to the fields and is not at home." Xia Xiaoying's eldest daughter is four years old and can understand the conversation between adults. She said while blinking her big eyes.

"Yes, in the fields." Xia Xiaoying's youngest daughter also said.

"So you went to the fields." Xia Jicai touched his chin, patted his sleeves, chuckled, and went back to the fields.

There are fewer people in the field, so it is easier to get things done.

Xia Jicai, relying on his drunkenness, walked towards the field where Xia Xiaorou often went.

It was a coincidence that when he reached the edge of the field, he saw Xia Xiaorou walking alone, looking at the crops in the field as she walked.

"Xiao Rou." Xia Jicai bravely walked towards Xia Xiaorou.

This piece of land was sold to Yan Heng by Song Liu. It was about twenty acres in size. Only a few farmhands hired by Xia Xiaorou were sowing seeds in the front, and no other villagers were seen.

Xia Xiaorou was checking the sowing situation of the farmhands. When she heard the idle Xia Jicai calling her, she just looked up and ignored him.

But Xia Jicai didn't let her go. He walked up to her and said, "Xiao Rou, I called you, why didn't you say anything?"

"Xia Jicai, I have nothing to say to you." Xia Xiaorou raised her head, patted her sleeves and said coldly, then turned and left.

"Actually, Dad wanted you to marry me, but why did you get obsessed and marry the Song family? Look, the Song family doesn't want you, right? Now you want to marry Yan Langjun, but he's even more powerful. I'm afraid he won't want you in a few days. You'd better stay with me. I won't abandon you." Xia Jicai laughed and reached out to pull Xia Xiaorou.

Xia Xiaorou ignored the first half of his words, but when he talked more and more outrageous, her face turned cold and she turned around.

At this moment, she saw Xia Jicai's hand reaching out to her.

"Get out!" Xia Xiaorou narrowed her eyes and shouted loudly.

"Looking for death!" Someone suddenly jumped out from behind a tree beside the ridge and kicked Xia Jicai.

But Xia Xiaorou also took action at the same time and kicked Xia Jicai in the stomach.
