Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Chapter 22: Encounter by chance, the original owner's old lover

The streets of Ding'an County are filled with all kinds of shops, with hawking sounds coming one after another. Yao Qingnian bought some snacks and candied haws for Yinuo.

"Girl, do you want to have your fortune told? You must ask for money!"

There was a fortune-telling stall with a white beard on the side of the road. He called out to Yao Qingnian.

"Hey, no money!"

Yao Qingnian just thought he was a charlatan and ignored him.

"Girl, you and I are destined to be together. Can I tell your fortune for free?"

Is there anyone who is eager to tell fortunes for others? This old man is probably trying to trick people out of their money.

"No thanks, old man."

"Girl, within half an hour, you will be in bloody disaster! I, the old man, will wait for you here."

Bloody disaster? Tsk tsk, what nonsense.

Yao Qingnian did not take the old man's words seriously and was happily strolling on the street when suddenly a man bumped into him and "bang", two streams of blood flowed down his nose.

"Blood disaster?"

This old man is amazing! No, I have to go back and find him!

Yao Qingnian didn't look for anyone to settle the score with, but the one who bumped into her took the initiative and said, "Hey! Don't you have eyes for what you're doing?"

A woman in a blue dress came over with a man who looked like a scholar, and the woman came up to him and started cursing.

Yao Qingnian took some medicine from the space and took it, and the nosebleed stopped immediately.

"Big sister, you bumped into me, are you saying you don't have eyes?"

Yao Qingnian rolled her eyes. She felt that the man looked familiar!

Isn’t this the original owner’s old lover, Meng Jingyu? Well, I just couldn’t remember him at once.

"Who are you calling sister? Oh, who did I think it was? Isn't this Yao Qingnian? What? Are you here to see my husband again?"

"Big sister is talking about you!"

The woman in front of me is the wife of scholar Meng Jingyu—Gu Linger.

Her face was thin and pale, and her eyes revealed a sinister and sharp look, making her look very mean.

Gu Linger is Meng Jingyu's cousin and lives in the county town. Relying on her family's wealth, she controls Meng Jingyu very tightly. She is a typical henpecked husband. Meng Jingyu's mother looked down on Yao Qingnian because of her cousin. There was some emotional foundation between the two of them at the beginning.

Gu Linger secretly teased the original owner several times, hoping to persuade Meng Jingyu to take her as a concubine and make the original owner look ridiculous in front of everyone.

"Yao Qingnian, I've said before that there's no chance for us. Just give up on this idea! Don't come looking for me again."

Meng Jingyu has a chubby figure, slicked-back hair and powdered face, is not tall, has squinting eyes, and speaks in a slick tone.

What kind of taste did the original owner have? She thought Meng Jingyu was some kind of handsome man who fascinated her. With such a look, he wouldn't even want her and was still begging for him.

"Who is here to see you? The county town is your home, so I can't come here?"

"Humph, this isn't the first time you've done something like this. You might be here to guard my Yulang."

"Yulang, ugh..."

Yao Qingnian was shocked by Gu Linger's pretentiousness.

Meng Jingyu observed her expression and found that she was not chasing him as relentlessly as before.

"Yao Qingnian, if you kneel down and beg me, maybe I will let Yulang take you as his concubine! Hahahaha"

More and more people gathered around, and since you want to play, then I'll play with you, Yao Qingnian came up with an idea.

"Meng Lang! I already have your child, please, don't abandon me... wuwuwu..."

Yao Qingnian suddenly changed her tone, took Meng Jingyu's hand and placed it on her arm, crying breathlessly.

"Yao Qingnian, why are you crazy?!" Meng Jingyu was at a loss for words because of Yao Qingnian's sudden change.

"Meng Lang, we were still in love a few days ago, but you changed your mind in the blink of an eye? That day in the dilapidated temple outside the city, you said you wanted to take me as your concubine. I don't blame you, but our child is innocent..."

Yao Qingnian became more and more addicted to the performance.

"Meng Jingyu! Is what she said true? She has your child?"

Meng Jingyu did go out of town frequently in the past few days, saying that he was going back to the village. This coincided with what Yao Qingnian said, and Gu Linger was very suspicious and believed it immediately.

"Ling'er, it's unfair! I've already made it clear to her. You're the only one in my heart now."

Meng Jingyu now relies on Gu Linger for his food and clothing. He tries to please her in every way, fearing that he will make her unhappy and cut off his financial resources.

"Meng Lang, you said at the beginning that I was the only one in your heart. Our vows and sweet words beside the bed were all false?"

Yao Qingnian added fuel to the fire.

"Not only did you get her pregnant, but you also made a promise to her?!"

Gu Linger was going crazy. She had heard about the affair between Meng Jingyu and Yao Qingnian a long time ago, but she only believed it after Meng Jingyu repeatedly assured her that he had nothing to do with her.

"Meng Lang, I didn't expect you to be such a person. After all, I made a mistake. I won't bother you anymore." Yao Qingnian raised his hand and slapped him twice, then ran away with his face covered.

The people pointed at Meng Jingyu and talked.

"Yao Qingnian, stop right there and explain yourself!"

Meng Jingyu was so angry that he wanted to chase Yao Qingnian, but several enthusiastic brothers stopped him: "You scumbag, you raped the girl and didn't take responsibility. I can't stand pretty boys like you the most!"

Several people surrounded Meng Jingyu and beat him up with fists and kicks, leaving him with a bruised face.

"Yao! Qing! Nian!"

The culprit, Yao Qingnian, had already escaped and went straight to the fortune-telling stall.

The old Taoist with white beard seemed to know that she would come, and sat there leisurely waiting for her.

"Girl, I've been waiting for you for a while."

"I was delayed by something, and you said you would tell my fortune for free?"

"You said it was just now, now the price is different."

There are still a few hundred copper coins in my pocket...

"I'm sorry to bother you! Goodbye, Master!"

"Stop! Why are you so stingy? If everyone were like you, I would have starved to death long ago."

"Hehe, there's nothing I can do. It's because I'm poor!"

Yao Qingnian sat down in front of the old Taoist priest's stall.

"Let me tell you a fortune"

The old Taoist priest closed his eyes and began to mutter to himself, and it was a while before he opened his eyes.

"The girl's identity is extraordinary, she came from another world."

"How did the Master know?"

"What do you think I do? I tell fortunes. How else can I know?"

It seems that this master has some talent, as he can tell that she is not from this world.

"Then may I ask why I came here?"

“For good and for evil”

"What do you mean, Master?"

"It can only be understood, not expressed."

Is this just for the sake of loneliness?

"Can I still go back?"

If you are blown to pieces, there is no way back.

"Girl, everything is destined, just let it go and don't force it."

"Thank you, Master. I'll leave now if nothing else."

Yao Qingnian was in a hurry to drive the ox cart back to the village.

"If you encounter difficulties, you can come to Jingguo Temple to find me. We will meet again."

Jingguo Temple is a famous temple in Ding'an City, located on a hillside in the south of the city. It is said that the Bodhisattva there is very effective, and the most famous one is Master Xuanfeng, who is said to have eyes and hands that can see through the sky.

Yao Qingnian got on the carriage back to the village at the last minute.

"Qing Nian, why didn't you buy anything? You have nothing in your hands?"

Luo Erya looked at Yao Qingnian who came up empty-handed and asked.

The things are still in the space. I planned to take some out when I got on the ox cart, but I forgot.

"I didn't buy what I wanted. I'll come back another day."
