The girl traveled through another world and forced the prince to take the imperial examination
Chapter 269 An ignorant child
Hu Xiuyun had never suffered a loss in her life, let alone been beaten! She was stunned at first, and then she was so angry that she almost exploded. She quickly took a few steps back and rushed towards Mu Qingcheng with great momentum.
If this collision really hits, Mu Qingcheng, with her frail body, will be knocked away more than two miles!
The village chief was so frightened when he saw this that his face turned pale. He quickly reached out to stop Hu Xiuyun. However, he was old and his legs were not as flexible as before, so he was still a step too late.
Since Mu Qingcheng dared to take action, she must have a chance of winning. She thought to herself that as long as it wasn't a close-quarters fight involving hair pulling and clothes ripping, she would definitely not be Hu Xiuyun's opponent if it was just a matter of strength. However, if it was a matter of agility, then she definitely had a chance of winning!
The moment Hu Xiuyun charged, Mu Qingcheng deftly dodged to the side. But Hu Xiuyun was using too much force and couldn't stop. After a sudden tremor, Hu Xiuyun plunged headfirst into the ditch behind them.
Fortunately, there was no water in the ditch due to the severe drought. Hu Xiuyun fell into the ditch with her feet in the air, causing laughter all around. Only Sun was anxious and jumped up and down, but unfortunately, her hands were chained and her mouth was gagged, so no one paid any attention even if she was spewing feces.
The Sun mother and daughter have been domineering in the village all day long, and the villagers have long been dissatisfied. This time someone finally stood up to teach them a lesson, how can everyone not be happy.
Mu Qingcheng saw it clearly from the side. It was the frail little girl Ximei who tripped Hu Xiuyun when she rushed over. Otherwise, she wouldn't have fallen into the ditch. The two looked at each other, both knowing what was going on.
Village chief Fang was relieved to see that Mu Qingcheng did not suffer any loss. He was also extremely fed up with this mother and daughter, but he had endured it again and again.
It was simply because Hu Xiuyun's father, Hu Chengcai, had drowned while saving his grandson, and the Fang family owed him a life. There was nothing they could do! They could only watch the mother and daughter act up every day, and he had to clean up the mess behind them.
Oh! What a sin! The old village chief always gets a headache when he sees them.
This time is different! The old village chief inexplicably feels that Mu Qingcheng's background is not simple, and she is someone they cannot afford to offend, so this time he can't let this mother and daughter do whatever they want.
The village chief didn't want to bother with Hu Xiuyun in the ditch, nor did he look at Sun's resentful eyes. He took a few steps forward and walked over to Mu Qingcheng to apologize.
"Oh... Miss Mu, please forgive me. These village women are ignorant and frightened you. It's all my fault..."
Ximei was speechless with shock. She had never seen the village chief so polite to anyone before. He usually kept his face in his pillow, simply because he was the only scholar in Fangjia Village and had even passed the imperial examination when he was young. Village people all had a sense of awe for scholars.
Mu Qingcheng said frankly: "Village Chief, you are too serious. What does this have to do with you?"
"Oh, look, I forgot to invite the village chief into the house. This place is so simple, please don't think we are not hospitable enough!"
What?! We still want to entertain the village chief? Are we going to keep them for dinner? Ximei had just emerged from Hu Xiuyun's shadow, and this time she was frightened again.
Mu Qingcheng looked at Ximei's expression, which seemed to be about to cry. For some reason, she could read Ximei's mind. She felt very happy. It was as if she had grasped Ximei's weakness.
Several villagers who followed the village chief followed him into the main house of the Fang family.
Mu Qingcheng was stunned the moment she entered the house! She had never imagined the Fang family was so poor they didn't even have a bench, table, or chair. The bare house only had a brick bed in the west, covered with a worn straw mat. This main room was slightly larger than the one Mu Qingcheng had lived in before. There was also a small inner room to the east, presumably where Ximei's older brother lived.
Mu Qingcheng was a little embarrassed. Where should people sit?
Unexpectedly, Village Chief Fang sat on the earthen kang without any embarrassment, as if this was a common occurrence. Some villagers came into the house, some standing and some squatting, and no one noticed anything was wrong.
Mu Qingcheng could only stand and talk with the village chief. When talking about her origins, Mu Qingcheng further processed the words she used to deceive Ximei and told them again.
"So that's how it is. You are so lucky, young lady! You may not know that our mountain is called Wild Wolf Hill. There is a pack of wolves on this mountain that are very ferocious. They often come down the mountain to harm the villagers. Sometimes, if you encounter one on the mountain, you will be in danger of death."
Mu Qingcheng was shocked. This meant she was indeed lucky. She had encountered a pack of wolves and was still unharmed. She was definitely a favorite of heaven! She immediately clasped her hands together and bowed to the heavens.
The village chief and the villagers all laughed out loud when they saw this: "Miss Mu really should go and pay homage to the mountain god. It's all thanks to Fang Bo, the most talented young man in Fangjia Village."
It was Fang Bo again! Mu Qingcheng wondered who this Fang Bo was, so she asked, "Who is Fang Bo?"
"It's my elder brother, it's my elder brother..." Ximei finally got the chance to interrupt: "Sister-in-law, Fang Bo is my elder brother, I'm not lying to you, my elder brother is very capable..."
Mu Qingcheng frowned and scolded Ximei: "Little sister, how many times have I told you that I am not your sister-in-law, please don't yell at me and make people misunderstand!"
Ximei said anxiously, "My eldest brother saved you, and your life belongs to him. Why don't you want to marry him? My eldest brother is so capable, he can make sure you have meat every meal. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
Mu Qingcheng was so angry that she laughed. Just because he saved her life, he had to marry her? Should she be satisfied with having meat every meal? What kind of logic was that? She didn't want to argue with such an ignorant child. It would be a waste of time.
Mu Qingcheng turned to the village chief and said, "I am deeply grateful to Mr. Fang for saving my life. I will always remember this kindness in my heart! I will do my best to repay Mr. Fang for saving my life. I can repay this kindness in any way, but I cannot repay it with my own marriage! That's all I have to say. I beg the village chief to seek justice for me!"
Ximei listened attentively at the side. She seemed to understand what Mu Qingcheng said, but when she mentioned marriage later, Ximei finally understood.
"No! How can you, can..." What word was it? She wanted to say "indecisive", but she just couldn't remember. Ximei was so anxious that she scratched her head and cheeks, her face flushed red. "Anyway, you can't have two or three minds. You can only marry my eldest brother, otherwise you will be like that Sun Qianpo, not a good woman... just... just... the kind of bad woman who hooks up with men everywhere..."
"shut up!"
Before Mu Qingcheng could get angry, the village chief jumped up and stopped Ximei from talking nonsense.
"You, you all... you're really going to piss me off to death. Xi Meizi, Xi Meizi, you've been well-behaved since you were little. Ever since you lost your parents, I've seen you diligent and sensible, and I thought you were a good child. I didn't expect it! You, you've also grown up crooked. Where did you learn all this nonsense? Who taught you that? Was it your eldest brother? Or your second brother? Or do you also want to emulate Hu Xiuyun and be a badass?"
Ximei was so frightened that she huddled up, trembling and unable to speak. The village chief had never spoken to her, let alone scolded her! But what had she done wrong? She just couldn't understand why the village chief scolded her.
Mu Qingcheng's anger subsided after hearing the village chief's words. Alas! It turned out to be a poor child without parents. Out of gratitude for saving her life, she advised herself not to get mad at a child. However, if this were her sister, she would definitely have pinned the brat to the ground and given him a beating.
