You are unlucky and I am tough

Chapter 191: Shit Everywhere

Cheng Shuang spoke briefly and told the story of how Bai Jinhu came to cause trouble and Xie Shuyu helped her but broke the jade pendant.

Cheng Guqiu also came out to explain, and said very remorsefully that it was her fault for causing Bai Jinhu to cause trouble, and she was afraid that Wei Qinglang would misunderstand something. She explained that she and Aunt Peng had been watching in the main hall, and Cheng Shuang and the young man had just talked a few words about compensation for the jade pendant.

Xie Shuyu had been looking at Wei Qinglang and recognized him as the man who had had dinner with Cheng Shuang at Taibai Tower that day. It turned out that they were husband and wife.

This man looks pretty good and is barely worthy of Cheng Shuang, but his temperament is much worse than his. He looks like a warrior.

Do you know kung fu?

I also know Kung Fu, and I am still as elegant and gentle as jade, so I am still better.

I am very wealthy, unlike this guy who can only live in the village, living in such a small shabby courtyard, and can't even take out five thousand taels and has to write an IOU.

After Wei Qinglang understood the whole story, he went over to look at the jade pendant fragments on the table. The broken surface had a fine texture, a unique luster, and was soft to the touch. It was indeed top-quality jade.

But isn't Xie Shuyu the third son of Taibai Tower? Why did he inexplicably come to the village and help Cheng Shuang so coincidentally?

His eyes met Xie Shuyu's with a questioning look.

"Brother Wei." Xie Shuyu smiled harmlessly and placed the IOU on the table. "This IOU was written to me by Sister Cheng. I told her I didn't have to pay her back, but she insisted on writing it. I have no choice. Why don't you take it back?"

Sister Cheng? She called her that in a rather affectionate way.

As soon as Wei Qinglang saw this boy, he knew that he was full of bad intentions. He picked up the IOU casually, glanced at it, and then tore it up.

Xie Shuyu laughed as he watched his actions. Sure enough, this man couldn't afford to pay the five thousand taels. He was really useless. He didn't know why such a beauty like Cheng Shuang would marry a poor guy from the village.

Forget it, he doesn't want the money, so that the man won't have to settle the score with the beauty after he leaves.

It is said that men from poor families are not very capable but have bad tempers. This poor guy won’t beat his wife, right?

Cheng Shuang saw the IOU being torn up and ran over. "Wei Qinglang, what are you doing? I just wrote this. I have to compensate him for this jade pendant no matter what."

Wei Qinglang raised his hand and threw the torn IOU into pieces, and the pieces of paper scattered all over the floor.

"Of course I have to pay, but the IOU has to be rewritten. You, a woman, owe him such a large sum of money, and the broken piece is a family heirloom jade pendant. If any gossip gets out, it will only cause more trouble."

Wei Nanxing also felt that he couldn't leave any room for criticism, so he immediately said, "I'll get some paper and pen and write him a new one."

Upon hearing this was their arrangement, Cheng Shuang was a little touched.

She didn't think too much about it, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized that the IOU was indeed inappropriate. Women in this dynasty valued their reputation more than anything else. If it were to leak out, it would be very easy for someone to make a fuss about it.

Cheng Shuang cleared her throat. "Then tear it up if you want. Why are you trying to be cool? It's all over the floor. Don't you need to sweep it?"

Wei Qinglang reached out and touched her head, "I'll sweep it later."

"Brother Wei is such a thoughtful person." Xie Shuyu felt unhappy as he watched the two of them look so loving and affectionate. "It was I who was negligent."

Wei Qinglang ignored him and was very smart in asking a prostitute to go to the restaurant to dance. He was afraid that his stupidity might be contagious.

Wei Nanxing quickly took out paper and pen and placed them on the table. Wei Qinglang went over, sat down and started writing.

Xie Shuyu, who was standing opposite him, looked at him and said, "Brother Wei, why don't you just forget about the IOU? I just threw something away and it got broken, how can I ask you to pay for it? If you really feel bad, just give me three or five hundred taels as a token of your gratitude."

"Whatever is due is what is due." Wei Qinglang continued writing, "If that stick didn't hit my wife today, I would be willing to pay her even if it was ten thousand taels, not to mention the jade pendant is worth five thousand taels."

When Cheng Shuang heard this, she glanced at him out of the corner of her eye. This guy is quite good at acting.

"Thank you, sir. I will collect the money as soon as possible and send it to Taibai Tower." Wei Qinglang pushed over the new IOU with his fingerprint on it.

Xie Shuyu was slightly stunned. "You, you know who I am?"

Wei Qinglang smiled and said, "Some time ago, my wife and I went to Taibai Tower for dinner. I heard people mention the name of Third Young Master Xie. I was also fortunate enough to witness Third Young Master Xie's...business talent."

Xie Shuyu: “…..”

Is this guy mocking him?

Didn't he just do something wrong because he believed his friend's slander? He was beaten by his elder brother and ridiculed by his friends for several days. How dare this kid laugh at him?

He is so mad, I must teach him a lesson.

Xie Shuyu picked up the teacup and took a sip, then put it down heavily, his face furrowed as he looked at Wei Qinglang.

Wei Qinglang looked at him calmly and thought to himself that he was indeed angry. These young masters just couldn't stand being teased. I've already given you the IOU, so if you're angry, just leave now.

Do you really think he's blind? The way you look at my wife is almost like flirting written on your face.

"Sister Cheng." Xie Shuyu's gaze suddenly moved to the side and fell on Cheng Shuang.

His face changed into something harmless again, like a Sichuan opera face-changing performance, and his eyes curved into a smile. "Chengjia Village has beautiful scenery with clear water and mountains. I've decided to bring more friends here to visit in the future. What do you think, sister?"

"Travel? Are you sure?" Cheng Shuang was surprised. "Master Xie, our village is not the villa where you city people hold gatherings. There is no one to serve you."

"That's fine. I see there are a few servants in Sister Cheng's house. When the time comes, just ask them to prepare some tea and snacks. Your family can even make some money to pay for the tea and snacks."

That’s nice to think about. Then you can come to my house again with a legitimate reason, right?

He wants to rely on her by being a creditor!

Cheng Shuang smiled and said, "What are you going to do with your friends, Mr. Xie? Even the roads in our village are not smooth. Your brocade boots will be covered in mud after a few steps. It's not a big deal if you step on some mud, but there are a lot of livestock in the village, and you might even step on cow dung."

"Pfft~"

Xie Shuyu spat out a mouthful of tea, "Ahem...Sister Cheng, you are a woman, you are so beautiful that you should speak more politely."

Cheng Shuang raised her eyebrows slightly. This reaction seemed to be due to her fear of getting dirty.

"Why is it ungentlemanly to talk about shit?" Cheng Shuang said innocently, "I haven't even finished talking. Master Xie, you not only step on cow shit, but also chicken shit, duck shit, donkey shit, horse shit, pig shit, and even human shit."

Xie Shuyu's expression became indescribable, his brows were furrowed and he looked like he wanted to vomit.

Cheng Shuang continued, "This is how it is in the village. The vegetable garden behind my house is irrigated with water made from compost made from chicken and duck manure.

Spring planting is about to begin in the village, and the rice seedlings in the fields are being fertilized directly from the village toilets. After the seedlings are planted, the chicken, duck, pig, and cow manure from their homes are used to fertilize the rice. This way, the rice grows large and plump, and after the harvest, the villagers are reluctant to eat it, so they sell it to the city for you wealthy families.

"That's enough..." Xie Shuyu raised his hand to stop her from continuing, "Madam Wei, I'm scared of you. Stop talking nonsense. I really want to vomit."

Wei Qinglang suppressed his anger and said seriously, "This is how it is in the village. There's shit everywhere. Since Mr. Xie likes our village, you have to overcome it and get used to it. How about letting my brother take you around the village to get used to it first?"

Xie Shuyu: “….”

He's not going, he wants to go home.

If he keeps listening, he won't have to eat today.

On the other side, on Yunxi Mountain, Cheng Pan took his younger brother and sister to accompany Lu Yinyin and her brother to play on the mountain. The mountain road was easy to walk on and there was no danger. With the four guards of the Lu family following behind, it became a paradise for these children to have fun.

I climbed trees, shot birds, picked flowers and wild fruits, and then walked to a mushroom field and started picking mushrooms.

Lu Yinyin and her brother were addicted to picking mushrooms. They played for almost an hour before going down the mountain at the urging of several servants of the Lu family. They picked two large backpacks full of mushrooms and said they would take them back for their family to eat.

After coming down the mountain, Yuanbao insisted on carrying the backpack by himself, so Cheng Chen, Cheng Xu and Song Qi helped him carry it. The four peers played together for an afternoon and became very close.

When the villagers saw the brother and sister coming again, they were no longer surprised, and some people even took the initiative to greet them.

Lu Yinyin ran the fastest. As soon as she reached the door, she shouted, "Sister Cheng, come quickly. Look, we have picked a lot of mushrooms."

The courtyard gate was open, and the first person to run out was Wei Nanxing.

When Lu Yinyin saw the person coming, she unconsciously raised her hand to smooth her hair and smiled, "Wei Nanxing, long time no see."

Cheng Shuang and Wei Qinglang followed behind, and she quickly added, "And Brother Wei too, long time no see."
