My humble days in ancient times

Wang Erdan was filled with resentment. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. As soon as he got home, he yelled at Jiang, "Go and cook."

Jiang was also filled with anger. She had just struggled to pull him over and back again, and was so exhausted that she was out of breath, but he was still so arrogant.

Seeing Jiang standing there motionless, Wang Erdan became even more furious. He limped over angrily and was about to hit her. Seeing that the situation was not good, Jiang quickly ran into the kitchen.

Wang Erdan saw the new house today. It was so big. It seemed that Xu Ruyi had really made a lot of money.

Thinking that his legs were given to him by Xu Ruyi, he felt so angry that his teeth were itching, as if millions of ants were gnawing at him.

Jiang returned to the kitchen, still furious as she cooked. Wang Erdan had been a jerk before, but he hadn't been rude to her. But now, why was he so displeased with her? The more she thought about it, the more she felt wronged, tears welling up in her eyes.

Jiang was filled with sorrow and absent-minded, and she accidentally burnt the rice.

When Wang Erdan saw this situation, he became even more furious. His face turned red and his neck became thick. He cursed and said all kinds of nasty things.

On this day, Xu Ruyi was carefully collecting eggs at home when villagers came over one after another.

Everyone was happy, with bright smiles on their faces, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Only Jiang didn't look very happy. She looked sad, as if she had a heavy burden on her heart.

Xu Ruyi noticed it and asked with concern, "Aunt Jiang, what's going on? Why do you look unhappy?"

Jiang lowered her head and said in a muffled voice, "Wang Erdan's temper has become a little strange recently. He always gets angry for no reason. I'm so angry about him. I feel so upset."

The neighbor kindly advised: "Erdan is a bit of a jerk, but it's wrong for him to lose his temper for no reason. You should ask him what's going on and have a calm and peaceful talk with him."

Xu Ruyi thought it made sense and said, "It's Aunt Jiang, why don't you take him out to relax? He's stuck at home all day and he's going to get moldy."

Jiang just answered with a sigh, and it was not known how much she heard. She took the money and left in a hurry.

When Jiang returned home, she saw Wang Erdan lying on the bed with his legs spread out, snoring loudly!

When Wang Erdan slowly woke up, Jiang Shi hurriedly said, "You can't stay in the house like this all day. You have to go out and get some fresh air and relax. That way you can pass the time."

Wang Erdan lazily turned over and replied weakly, "Don't you know that I have difficulty walking? It's not as easy as you say."

Jiang turned and went into the kitchen, then came out with a thick stick and said, "Take this, at least it can give you some support and make walking more stable."

Wang Erdan suddenly became angry and shouted, "I'm fine lying here. I don't want to go out at all."

Jiang continued earnestly, "You sleep too much during the day, so you can't sleep at night. At night, you can't sleep and you keep moaning, which makes it impossible for me to rest properly."

Wang Erdan got angry, his eyes widened and he yelled, "Oh, you still despise me? I tell you, I'm still not satisfied with you."

Jiang immediately pressed the issue, "Then tell me what I did wrong, and what else are you dissatisfied with me for?"

Wang Erdan curled his lips and said, "You are too stupid. You can't speak or do anything well. Nothing you do makes me worry."

Jiang retorted unconvincedly, "There are no such things as fools in the world. I am simply too kind-hearted to do anything malicious."

Jiang paused, then continued, "But you, all you do is eat and do nothing all day, even doing all sorts of shameful things like stealing and cheating. You don't live a down-to-earth life. Now you've gotten yourself into this state, who can you blame?"

Wang Erdan never expected that Jiang, who usually rarely contradicted him and almost obeyed his words, seemed like a completely different person today. She actually dared to talk back to him like this and criticized him so badly.

Besides, what's wrong with stealing? It's also a skill. Besides, shouldn't the stolen money be used for household expenses?

Wang Erdan's face turned livid when he thought of this. He raged, "How am I lazy and gluttonous? And what's wrong with stealing? Don't you have any use for the money you stole?"

Jiang immediately replied firmly, "How can this last? If you get caught, you'll either be reported to the authorities and thrown in jail, or you'll be severely beaten. You'd better be like the other villagers, doing your job honestly and working hard. Then I'll have less fear and worry."

Wang Erdan was completely furious and shouted angrily, "You're really treacherous! Are you really that bold today? How dare you speak to me like that?"

Jiang's eyes were red as she said, "You weren't like this before. You've been acting so abnormally lately. If someone didn't know, they would think you had someone else outside!"

When Wang Erdan heard this, it was as if a stab in the heart suddenly hit him. Thinking of the things he had done with Widow Wang... he was even more angry and gnashed his teeth and said, "You stinky woman, you really deserve a beating. If it weren't for my disabled legs, I would definitely teach you a lesson today."

After saying that, Wang Erdan angrily picked up the water bowl on the box beside him and threw it hard at Jiang.

Jiang was unable to dodge and the bowl hit her forehead.

Jiang felt a sharp pain on her forehead, so severe that it felt as if her skin was cut open, and a cool liquid flowed down her cheek.

Jiang realized it belatedly and said, "This is blood, Wang Erdan, you are such a heartless bastard."

Jiang suddenly sat on the ground, feeling aggrieved, crying her heart out and shouting until she was hoarse. Seeing Wang Erdan standing by and watching indifferently, Jiang felt completely disheartened and thought that this day was a dark and hopeless one.

After a long while, Jiang forced herself to get up, enduring the pain. Then she left home in a daze and staggered to Doctor Qian.

Wang Erdan saw Jiang sitting on the ground howling in a miserable state, looking like an ugly monkey. He thought with disgust: How could I marry such an ugly and stupid woman? I am so unlucky.

After spending a few nights fooling around with Widow Wang, Wang Erdan suddenly realized that the differences between people were so great, and women were also very different from each other.

Wang Erdan sat there, thinking carefully about the women in the village. Some of the women were as beautiful as flowers and charming; some of the women cooked delicious meals that made people salivate; some of the women had outstanding and exquisite needlework skills.

Only his wife seemed to have nothing to show for herself and had no skills that were worthy of presentation.

As Wang Erdan pondered, his thoughts drifted to Xu Ruyi. Putting aside her eloquent and powerful mouth, it seemed there was nothing else to fault about her: she was beautiful, a superb cook, and a great earner. I heard she could even play music! Her ability to play music alone was far superior to the other women in the village. And when it came to earning money, she even surpassed the women in the village... no, she surpassed all the men and women in the village.

Oh, I really didn't know until I thought about it. It was shocking. Wang Erdan suddenly realized that Xu Ruyi was definitely not a simple girl. Could it be that she was so young that night, but she was already so scheming? ...

Wang Erdan felt as if he had discovered a huge secret. He suddenly felt inexplicably happy and thought that Xu Ruyi was a really interesting girl.
