The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

Anning Village Zhangjia

Zhang Yiju was studying by the window in his room. His mother went to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables and chatted with some acquaintances in the village. When she came back and saw that her son was very hardworking, she smiled with satisfaction, went to the water tank to scoop water to wash her hands, and said, "I heard from the villagers that Chu Xiaoxiao and Hunter Yan are engaged and will get married in a few days."

"Engaged?" Zhang Yiyu put down the book in his hand and walked out of the room to the yard. He felt a little uncomfortable. After all, he was her fiancé before. Even if she didn't want him, she still felt unhappy to marry him. "So soon."

Zhang's mother couldn't hide the smile on her face. "That's a good thing. Chu Xiaoxiao won't bring up the engagement anymore after she gets married."

She had never liked Chu Xiaoxiao. If her father-in-law had not arranged the marriage when he was still alive, and she had no suitable reason to cancel the engagement, who would be willing to marry a boy who they didn't even know if he could have children?

Now her son has become a scholar. Not only does the court give him a monthly salary, but he is also exempt from taxes. His life will surely get better and better in the future. If he marries a beautiful woman, she will be able to have two children in three years.

Zhang's mother now walks around the village, and everyone is envious of her. She feels more and more that her son will achieve great things. "You are a scholar, so of course I want to marry the best."

Zhang Yiju pursed his lips, thought for a moment and said: "Mother, even if the engagement is cancelled, you should not say bad things about the young man of the Chu family. His life will not be easy if he marries a hunter. He is also a pitiful person. Even if he spoke rudely a few days ago, there is no need to care too much. We are scholars and we should know how to be tolerant of others."

Zhang's mother was born and raised in a farming family, but she was influenced by her surroundings. Although her son could not speak the words, she could understand them to some extent. She was relieved and said, "Mother, I understand. I will not bother with that boy. But you, since the engagement is cancelled, you should find another good girl."

"Some time ago, your aunt told me that there is a girl in their village who is not only good-looking but also very hardworking. She is only fifteen years old and can earn money by embroidering handkerchiefs. She also manages the household well. If you think it's feasible, we can go and meet each other. We can get engaged this year and marry next year."

Zhang Yiju frowned when he heard this, "The mother should know who her son loves, why did she match him up with someone so randomly?"

"I don't know." Zhang's mother felt uncomfortable seeing her son unhappy, but she still said, "Listen to me, that girl is really pretty, and she is said to be easy to raise in the future. Most importantly, she can read and write. You are going to take the imperial examination and become an official in the future. It's not right to marry someone who can't read and write."

Zhang Yiju was stunned. What his mother said made sense, but he had never seen the person his mother was talking about. He hesitated and said, "Mother knows that I like Chu Wanwan."

"Chu Wanwan is a good kid, but you just cancelled your engagement with Chu Xiaoxiao, and he said that there was something going on between you and Chu Wanwan..."

Zhang's mother couldn't speak directly about her son, and she didn't want her son to have any stain on him. "If you really marry him, you will definitely be laughed at by the villagers."

Zhang Yiju didn't say anything for a long time with a stern face.

Zhang's mother saw her son's expression and knew that he was reluctant. "Do you really want to marry Chu Wanwan?"

Zhang Yiju still didn't say anything, just nodded.

Zhang's mother was a little anxious. She walked a few steps to Zhang Yiju. She even suspected that her son had been drugged by Chu Wanwan.

He didn't even remember saying that she was good, and he said, "Chu Wanwan has a thin waist and a small butt. She may not be able to give birth in the future. She has always been spoiled by Li Xiulan. I'm afraid she can't do the housework well. How can she take care of you in the future?"

"You will need to study in the future, and the family needs a woman to take care of it. How can she do that? And what happened that day, son, if you really marry her, it will be hard to say."

Zhang's mother belittled Chu Wanwan.

Zhang Yiju was even more unhappy: "Mom, do you dislike all the people your son likes? You mentioned Chu Xiaoxiao before, and now you mention Chu Wanwan. Since ancient times, marriage is indeed decided by parents. But if my son doesn't like someone, even if she comes into the house, I don't want to look at her even once."

Mother Zhang shook her head: "The Chu family is definitely not an option. It would be ridiculous to marry your cousin right after breaking off the engagement with your cousin. You are a scholar, don't you care about your reputation?"

Zhang Yiju remained silent for a long time.

"Son, I know you have your own ideas, but it's not easy for the Zhang family to support a scholar. You can't ruin your future for a woman."

"Think about it, son." Zhang Yiyu sighed helplessly.

……

Smoke rose from the farmyard, and Chu Xiao was awakened by the noises in the yard. Although the sound of pots and pans clattering was not loud, he could not fall into a deep sleep without the reassuring man by his side.

He looked at the thick beam above his head and missed Yan Zhenshen a little. He didn't know where he was or what he was doing. He got up, put on his coat, and went to the kitchen.

Yan Zhengdao was putting the pancakes he had baked this morning into the pan. Seeing that he had gotten up, he said with a smile, "Why did you get up so early today? If you haven't gotten enough sleep, go back to sleep for a while."

"I've slept enough." Chu Xiao glanced at the house. It was obvious that Zhao Guizhi and Yan Sanmei were not there. Only Yan Zhenbei was lighting a fire in front of the stove.

Chu Xiao asked: "Where are mother and third sister?"

"She went to the village to find Aunt Wang to make clothes for her. She also said she would go and check out the six acres of land. Although the title deed has been obtained, your uncle has already planted the rice seedlings. She wanted to see how the seedlings are growing. If possible, she would give your uncle some money to avoid disputes in the future."

Land has always been the most important thing in the countryside. After all, our food and daily necessities throughout the year depend on the harvest from the fields.

Although most of the work on the Chu family's fields was done by Chu Laoer and Chu Peng, Chu Xiaoxiao would also go along to help. From his memory he knew that it was very hard work.

Plowing the soil and sowing seeds requires not only labor but also money. Given Li Xiulan's character, she would definitely not just give the crops to them. If things go wrong, they might even cause trouble.

"It's up to you, Dad and Mom." Chu Xiao said as he went to scoop some water to wash his face. After washing, he returned to the kitchen: "Dad, you go and have a rest. I'll cook."

"No need." Although Yan Zhengdao's legs and feet were not very good, he was not completely unable to move. Besides, breakfast did not need to be complicated.

Chu Xiao said: "I have been here for a few days. Although I haven't officially married, I have received the marriage certificate. I am also a member of the Yan family. How can I do nothing? Dad, let me do it."

Yan Zhengdao smiled and stepped aside, but he was not idle, and continued to weave his baskets. "Xiao Ge'er has changed a lot, he is completely different from before."

Chu Xiao turned back in surprise: "Why did Dad say that?"

"Although I haven't been around the village for many years, I'm not blind and deaf. In the past, you didn't dare to speak loudly, always kept your head down and didn't speak. Even if others talked to you, you ignored them."

"But now you are braver than most men, and your ideas are more correct. If you hadn't grown up under everyone's eyes, everyone would think you were a different person."

Yan Zhengdao lowered his head and was busy with the work in his hands while speaking. He did not look up at Chu Xiao, but Chu Xiao was still startled by what he heard.
