Ugly girl only wants to farm

In the golden autumn season, a time of great harvest, the smiles on the faces of the villagers were impossible to hide.

Hongmiao Village is enjoying a bumper harvest, and the villagers are very happy. This year they can finally have a good New Year and a full meal. After a heavy snow last year, the crops grew very well, and people were immersed in joy.

The Meng family courtyard at the east end of the village was filled with the sounds of gongs and drums, and the children were shouting and cheering.

"Wearing red flowers and new clothes, with gongs and drums, the bridal sedan chair arrives. The groom should hurry to fetch his bride to celebrate the New Year. One on the left and one on the right, and after five years, they will have a whole litter."

A woman in a blue dress grabbed a handful of candy and handed it over, her face beaming as she gently scolded, "You little rascals, stop making a ruckus here and take these candies to play somewhere else."

"Mother, you're being so generous. We don't usually get to taste this kind of sweetness. Why are you giving away so much today?" the girl said with a regretful expression.

The woman smiled and said, "Today is your elder brother's special day, so let's celebrate."

The girl's face fell, and she said indignantly, "Mother, you know what tricks the Xu family used to force my brother to marry that pitted woman. She won't let me call her sister-in-law."

The woman, who had just had a kind expression, now looked serious: "How did your mother teach you, Xia'er? No matter what, she has entered our family today, so she is now a daughter-in-law of the Meng family. You must know the rules and not embarrass her. I've just spoiled you too much."

The girl lowered her head and muttered softly with some dissatisfaction, "The Xu family used dirty tricks and they won't let anyone say anything. My brother's life is ruined because of this woman."

"Cough, cough, cough." The woman couldn't help but cough.

"I won't hold it against you today. Today is your elder brother's special day. From tomorrow on, you'll stay home and do your needlework properly. How have I taught you to be so talkative?"

After saying these words, the woman couldn't help but cough again, and the girl, looking worried, quickly went up and gently patted her back.

"Mother, I understand."

After calming down, the woman took the water her daughter handed her, took a small sip, and felt a little better.

"Xia'er, go to the courtyard gate and see if the bridal sedan chair has arrived yet."

Li San Niang knew that her son was unhappy with the marriage and had suffered some injustice, but now that it was a done deal and the marriage was in her Meng family's courtyard, she couldn't treat the other party unfairly.

The villagers weren't so particular about their feasts; they ate whatever was available. When the Meng family hosted their feast, Master Xu, seeing their means, didn't hesitate to bring over a few pigs to slaughter, bringing joy to the villagers.

Today, the Meng family courtyard was packed with people. The old and the young alike had satisfied smiles on their faces. They usually couldn't stand the sight of meat, but today the meat was served in large chunks, and they ate it with great gusto.

Seeing her son drinking silently, Li San Niang went over and said with some concern, "Jiuhe, you should drink less. Today is your big day, don't neglect them."

Meng Jiuhe raised his head, his eyes devoid of any light, only a fleeting look of disgust. At this moment, several young men from the village came over with their wine bowls and teased, "Scholar Meng, we originally thought you would marry that gentle and well-educated young lady, but we never expected you to marry that trumpet flower from the Xu family. You are truly blessed. The Xu family is one of the wealthiest families in our town. You will never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life. It's something to be envied."

Meng Jiuhe ignored him with a cold face and continued drinking. After the man finished speaking, he staggered over and bumped his head with him: "Come on, groom, finish this bowl of wine and hurry into the bridal chamber. A moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold. Hahaha, the taste of that morning glory must be quite good."

Li San Niang looked somewhat worried. She saw her son's slender fingers clenched tightly together, making a cracking sound. His face looked unwell, and his eyes radiated a cold expression.

With a "bang," the wine bowl was slammed onto the table rather roughly. Mrs. Li pressed her son down to sit properly.

"Zhang Mazi, are you drunk? Don't act like a drunkard here."

The people accompanying him quickly tugged at his clothes, and Zhang Mazi showed a disdainful look: "Why does Scholar Meng have to look so unwilling? If you don't want to marry that trumpet flower, just refuse the marriage. There are plenty of people who want to marry her."

Hongmiao Village originally relied on the weather for their livelihood, working hard in the fields for generations. There were many bachelors in the village who couldn't find wives.

Zhang Mazi was one of them. Because his family was poor and he had many pockmarks on his face, the women who were going to arrange marriages with him disliked him. He envied the scholar who won the favor of Master Xu, who not only married Trumpet Flower but also received a generous dowry. He was so jealous that he went crazy.

Li Sanniang glanced at her son's expression and quickly said to the person next to her, "Quickly take Zhang Mazi away and make him drink the whole bowl of hangover soup."

After everyone left, Meng Jiuhe's cold expression faded. He felt a throbbing pain in his forehead. Seeing her son like this, Li Shi felt a little sorry for him: "Jiuhe, if you really don't want to, why should you wrong yourself for the sake of our family? I'll go and talk to your father."

Meng Jiuhe comforted his mother, "No need." He then took the wine bowl and poured another bowl down his throat.

With a blurry vision, Xu Zhiyan slowly opened her eyes. Where was she? She had just been walking along the road when she suddenly fell into the lake. Why was everything so blurry? Had she blinded herself?

Hearing my commotion outside, she reached out and pulled the thing off her head, finally seeing the scene before her: two red candles, a plate of peanuts and longans, and a large red "囍" character that looked like something for a wedding.

She was puzzled. Just then, the door creaked open and an old woman walked in: "Oh my good girl, you're finally awake! Thank goodness! Why did you take off the veil? It can only be taken off when the groom arrives. It's a bad omen. Put it back on quickly."

After saying that, she covered it up again. Xu Zhiyan vaguely heard the old woman muttering to herself. She had just unluckyly joined the time-travel trend.

She felt a slight headache, and her mind was filled with the original owner's information, like a movie playing in her head. Xu Chaoyan was the daughter of a wealthy merchant in town, who had a fondness for handsome men and fell in love with Meng Xiucai at first sight, relentlessly pursuing him.

A few days ago, she accidentally fell into the lake and hit her head, remaining unconscious ever since. Master Xu, who loved his daughter dearly, followed the master's advice and decided to find a son-in-law to marry into his family to bring good luck to his daughter. He used some tricks to force the scholar Meng to marry into his family to bring good luck to his daughter.

At first, Meng Xiucai refused to submit to the marriage, but in the end, he had no choice but to agree to it, on the condition that he would not marry into the Xu family unless he married into their household. Master Xu, who loved his daughter dearly, agreed.

Xu Chaoyan had been unconscious since falling into the water a few days ago, and even today's wedding ceremony was completed with the help of two old women.

She woke up now and had become Xu Zhiyan, who had transmigrated from another world. Oh well, since she was already here, she might as well make the best of it. After all, she was a modern woman from the 21st century, so she might as well treat this ancient world as a game of murder mystery.

"I'm starving." He rubbed his flat stomach.

When the old woman heard her daughter say she was hungry, she was overjoyed and cried. She quickly ran over to search for some, and then handed her a bowl: "Young lady, this bird's nest is something I brought from home, just in case. You should eat some to fill your stomach."

Xu Zhiyan, as if starving, took the bowl and gulped it down in a few mouthfuls, looking like he wanted more: "Is there any more?"

Granny Xu took the bowl with a pained expression: "Young lady, rest for a while. You just woke up, don't eat too much, your body can't handle it."

Xu Zhiyan's face turned red as she thought to herself, "They're not even letting me eat my fill!" She wanted to eat braised pork ribs and beef stewed with dried bamboo shoots. She swallowed hard.

"Girl, are you feeling unwell? Should we see a doctor? Does your head still hurt?"

Xu Zhiyan chuckled awkwardly, "I'm perfectly fine in every way, except maybe I need something to eat. I'm starving, so don't make me anything too soupy or watery that won't keep me full."

Granny Xu felt a little sorry for her daughter who had been unconscious for so long. Seeing that she had lost a lot of weight, she broke off a soft pastry and said, "Girl, have a bite to tide you over. When your husband comes back, we'll have dinner together."

Xu Zhiyan then glanced at the room. The "double happiness" characters were pasted everywhere, and there were several dishes on the table in front, but they didn't look appetizing at all.

After being given some more alcohol, Meng Jiu was drunk and shoved into the room by a group of people who were making a ruckus at the wedding.

Xu Zhiyan let out a "hiccup" and saw the groom in a red dress. His face was flushed, his clothes were wrinkled, his hair was slightly messy, and he was tall and slender. His handsome face was tinged with the smell of alcohol, but it could not hide his handsome eyebrows and eyes.

She's indeed quite good-looking; no wonder the original owner took a liking to her and insisted on marrying her.

Granny Xu quickly grabbed the gauze scarf and rushed over with a worried expression: "Girl, quickly cover your face."

Xu Zhiyan: "Why?"

Before she could explain, Granny Xu covered her face with a thin veil and went to greet Meng Jiuhe with a smile, saying, "The son-in-law has arrived."

Meng Jiuhe, looking drunk, squinted at the old woman in front of him, then flung her away with disgust: "Get out of here."

Xu Zhiyan was still in a daze. She was getting married, and tonight was her wedding night. She hadn't gotten used to this new experience yet.

Is this man going to have sex with Jiang Jiang tonight?

Although she was a worldly person, she still felt somewhat resistant to having intimate relations with a strange man tonight. Even though the man was good-looking and she wouldn't lose out, she still felt a bit resistant to such close contact with a stranger. She thought she should proceed gradually.

After Meng Jiuhe shoved Granny Xu away, a hint of displeasure flashed across her face. Before leaving, the master had instructed her to make sure to choose a suitable son-in-law. The sorcerer said that his daughter would definitely wake up tonight, which was truly miraculous.

She had to make sure the two of them had consummated their marriage so she could report back tomorrow.

Xu Zhiyan and Meng Jiu stared at each other without saying a word. Granny Xu picked up a wine pot from the side and came over: "Young master, if you two drink this wine today, the wedding will be complete."

There aren't many rules in the countryside; once you drink the nuptial wine, that's it.

Meng Jiuhe was impatient. Looking at the woman in front of him whose face was covered by a veil, a feeling of disgust swept over him. Xu Chaoyan's face was pockmarked, and some of it was still oozing pus. He really couldn't bring himself to eat her.

After my father passed the imperial examination at the county level, he failed the exam repeatedly. Later, due to financial difficulties, he became an accountant for the Xu family. A few days ago, my grandmother fell ill at night, and my father rushed back from town in a hurry. In the dark, he broke his leg, and since then, the family has been struggling.

My mother has been ill for many years and needs to take medicine. The family is supported by my father's meager income.

Miss Xu had been relentlessly pursuing him, forcing him to take a detour every time he went to school. I heard that she fell into the water and hit her head the other day, and that Mr. Xu took the opportunity to rob her. He had no choice but to marry her.

He really didn't want to consummate the marriage with her right now, but before he left today, Master Xu had said that everything that was supposed to be there would be included, as long as he behaved well and treated his daughter well.

His father's accountant was able to stay, and he would receive a monthly salary. He would also find a doctor to treat his grandmother's illness, and everything at home would be taken care of, including his tuition for his future studies.

"Son-in-law," Granny Xu called out from the side.

Meng Jiu shook his head vigorously, trying to clear his mind. He rudely took the wine cup and was about to drink it down when Granny Xu stopped him: "Young master, you and the young lady should drink this wedding wine together."

After saying that, she pulled him over to sit down on the bedside. Granny Xu tied the corners of their clothes together, said a few auspicious words, and poured two cups of wine.

Meng Jiu was extremely annoyed and wanted to end these tedious rituals as soon as possible. He was exhausted after a long day and wanted to lie down and rest, but this old woman was too much trouble.

After the two of them clasped hands and drank the nuptial wine, Granny Xu smiled with satisfaction. She had skipped several procedures, just because her young lady was in poor health.

Before she left, she said to Meng Jiuhe, "Young master, this old servant will wait outside tonight. Please take good care of our young lady, as she is delicate and frail."

Xu Zhiyan downed the wine in one gulp. This ancient wine was made from pure grains without any adulteration. The spicy taste burned her throat as soon as it entered her throat, and her stomach also felt hot after swallowing the spicy wine.

She wanted to tell Granny Xu to take the man away, as she wanted to sleep alone tonight. But before she could even finish her sentence, she felt dizzy. Oh no! She thought to herself that she was a lightweight drinker, and it seemed she was still like this even in ancient times.

Meng Jiuhe got up to put the cup down, but almost stumbled and fell, only to realize that the two of them were tied together.

He saw the woman staring at him with her bright, moist eyes, like those of a fawn.

He took a deep breath, his head starting to spin. Taking advantage of the alcohol, he loosened his clothes, pressed the woman down on the bed, and began to grope her with his eyes closed.

Xu Zhiyan's head was still spinning after drinking that glass of wine. Now, with the man pushing her onto the bright red quilt, her head swayed slightly, but she was still a little dazed. Her back ached, and she squirmed a few times, reaching out to touch it before grabbing a handful of longans, peanuts, and red dates.

Then she felt her skirt being roughly lifted up, and the weight on her body made it hard for her to breathe.

She was feeling drowsy and weak, and a pleasant scent wafted over her. She was somewhat captivated by it and thought to herself, "Well, I won't lose anything, I'll just treat it as finding a male model."

This man seems to have a decent physique and a good face, but he's a bit cold and doesn't say much. Couldn't she at least try flirting with him a little? Or maybe she could flirt with him too.

A wave of pain swept over me.

Xu Zhiyan groaned softly, not because she was being dramatic, but because she really didn't feel anything good, and her muddled mind cleared up a bit.

A rustling sound of fabric rubbing against each other rang out, followed by the man's icy voice: "Now you've got what you wanted. Can the dog at the door leave? I don't like being watched while I sleep."

Xu Zhiyan was completely bewildered. This person was all looks and no substance, just a pretty face with no substance.
