Ugly girl only wants to farm

Everyone was puzzled. Then Meng Jiuxia raised her teary eyes, looked at him with a pitiful expression, and said, "Big brother, why are you here?"

Meng Jiuhe took out a handkerchief and wiped her face, saying softly, "You're such a grown-up, why are you still crying? Aren't you ashamed?" His words were full of doting affection, and Xu Chaoyan felt a little envious upon hearing them.

While crying, Meng Jiuxia pointed at those people and accused them: "These gossipy women are talking badly about you. I can't stand them, but they're so quick-witted that I can't argue with them!"

Meng Jiuhe sighed and patted her head to comfort her: "Silly girl, don't cry. Take this earthenware pot over and share it with your sister-in-law."

Everyone who had been puzzled when they heard the word "sister-in-law" seemed to understand now, and their eyes looked at Xu Chaoyan with a hint of envy.

Wang Guihua's face darkened with displeasure as she watched her seemingly secured son-in-law slip away.

Meng Jiuhe walked up to Xu Chaoyan and said in his usual gentle voice, "Are you hungry? I brought you some food. Take a bite while you can. I've been waiting for this for a long time."

The women who had just been talking to Xu Chaoyan now looked at her with gossip in their eyes and asked, "Who is this?"

“This is my older brother. He’s a scholar who’s very good at reading,” Meng Jiuxia said proudly.

"Young lady, you are blessed."

"This scholar is truly handsome."

Wang Guihua looked at the handsome young man in front of her and felt a surge of resentment. How could that ugly woman have gotten away with it again?

She spoke in a sarcastic tone: "I didn't expect you to actually have a husband. I didn't realize this ugly woman had such seductive skills. It's just a lucky guess. This pretty boy is the one you kept at home while doing manual labor, isn't he?"

Meng Jiuhe, his face dark with anger, was about to argue with her when Xu Chaoyan quickly stopped him and patiently explained, "Husband, don't be angry. This foolish woman is just good with words. Let her talk if she wants. It won't hurt her anyway, so don't worry. These days, jobs are hard to find. Just treat it as a dog howling and don't cause trouble."

Meng Jiuhe's complexion improved slightly, and his voice remained gentle: "Yes, I was just afraid of offending your ears."

Wang Guihua: "Who are you calling a dog, an adulterer, a dog couple?"

Xu Chaoyan: "Whoever speaks up is the one to be mentioned. We didn't name names, so you have to figure it out yourself."

Meng Jiu took the bowl from his younger sister and gently blew on it a few times: "It's a little hot, be careful."

Seeing her older brother like this, Meng Jiuxia smiled. Her older brother finally knew how to treat his sister-in-law well.

Xu Chaoyan was a little uncomfortable for a moment. She took the bowl and thanked him. She was not used to Meng Jiu speaking to her so gently.

Have you eaten it?

She glanced at Meng Jiu and only asked a polite question.

"Never."

She really didn't expect him to be so honest and say no. She glanced at Meng Jiuxia and gestured for her to bring it over quickly.

The little girl, whether due to poor eyesight or simply not understanding, sat there as steady as a mountain.

Wang Guihua couldn't stand it any longer. The two of them were being so lovey-dovey, and she wasn't willing to let them off so easily. She continued to nag them relentlessly.

“Hey pretty boy, how could you do that at night? Your face is covered in pustules and pimples, don’t you find it disgusting? Take my advice and get away from this menace as soon as possible. I’ll introduce you to a good marriage.”

Someone couldn't help but burst out laughing, and was glared at threateningly. The person seemed to have just come in from outside and didn't seem afraid of the woman: "As if everyone knows what you're thinking. Is the good marriage you mentioned just your daughter? That chubby little boy, aren't you afraid of crushing him to death with that big physique..."

After glaring at him, Wang Guihua smiled and continued to persuade him: "These dumplings should be eaten hot, and you should marry a plump woman to be lucky. Young people don't understand, I'm just passing on my experience to you."

Someone nearby joked, "Wang Guihua, I don't think your family is doing well. You've almost drained your husband dry. The news about you and someone naked in the vegetable garden the other day has already spread. You're quite fat, so fat that you broke Gousheng's ribs. You've only just recovered, and you're already making things up again."

Xu Chaoyan was listening intently when she noticed Meng Jiuhe's pale face. She looked at him with a puzzled expression and asked, "What's wrong? Are you hungry?"

Meng Jiuhe pointed to her ears: "Your language is foul and uncivilized. Cover your ears and don't listen to it."

Xu Chaoyan: "I don't want to. Why can't I listen to the exciting gossip? It's too interesting. I want to listen for a while longer."

When Wang Guihua saw someone expose her past, she immediately lost face: "Sister Li, don't slander people so easily. I didn't steal your man, so why are you so indignant?"

After glancing at her, Sister Li scoffed, "You dare to dream? You think you can seduce my man? You wish! I don't want to be a widow. Stop with your petty schemes. Why are you arguing with another woman? Don't you know your own limitations?"

Xu Chaoyan couldn't help but glance at that person a few more times, secretly clapping her hands in approval. It was truly gratifying!

Wang Guihua was once again exposed and her past was exposed, which made her face even worse. She couldn't get rid of the resentment in her heart, and she felt suffocated.

"Hey pretty boy, do you even know how to put a mouth on someone at night? Aren't you afraid of pustules accumulating and jumping around in your mouth?"

Meng Jiuhe had reached her limit, her face as cold as ice in winter: "Foolish woman, if you keep spouting nonsense, I'll beat you up."

After he finished speaking, he gasped for breath, his chest heaving. He had never heard so much vulgar language before, and he didn't know how to retort.

"Oh dear, you're already angry? Did I hit a nerve? I told you you couldn't sleep at night, didn't I? But you didn't believe me. Why don't you find someone else sooner rather than later? Your aunt will be your matchmaker."

Seeing that Meng Jiu's fingers were cracking loudly, Xu Chaoyan was afraid that he would get angry and quickly signaled her sister-in-law to come over and persuade him.

She knew that her current appearance was unsightly and unappealing, and that she was not very appealing to others. She had forced Meng Jiuhe to marry her, which must have been unfair to him and probably touched a nerve.

After finally managing to persuade Meng Jiuhe to stop, the master of the house arrived. Seeing everyone gathered together without working, his expression was not much better.

This group of shrewish women kept chattering and arguing. If it weren't for the fact that it was hard to find someone else, he wouldn't have wanted to keep these gossipy women around. It would have been a waste of time. Two women were only as strong as one adult man. Fortunately, the wages were cheap, so he could save half the cost.

Xu Chaoyan had to persuade Meng Jiuhe for a long time before she finally let Meng Jiuhe go back first. They would finish later, and she couldn't understand how Meng Jiuhe knew they were here.

The porridge in the bowl just now tasted even better than yesterday's. Looking at his sweat and the stains on his body, he must have put in a lot of effort.

She was still thinking about how to explain this tonight. Since he already knew what he was supposed to see, she might as well tell the truth.

Meng Jiuxia also asked her with a worried look how to deal with it. Her older brother saw them arguing with these women while they were working, and he guessed that he would give them a lecture when they got back.

After they finished work and went back, Meng Jiuhe didn't say anything, but prepared warm water and rice for them, and prepared everything.

Xu Chaoyan and her sister-in-law sat at the table without saying a word, like children who had done something wrong, with their heads down and not uttering a sound.

Xu Chaoyan was actually a little sleepy. She had gotten up early in the morning to do physical labor all day, and now that she was sitting here and relaxing, she felt her eyelids starting to droop and she began to doze off.

Meng Jiuxia saw her as guilty, so she tugged at her sleeve and leaned closer to whisper, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. Actually, my brother isn't fierce. If he yells at you later, just cry. That way, he won't yell at us anymore. I used to do that all the time when we were little."

"Ouch."

Meng Jiuxia rubbed her head in pain, looking at the culprit with a dissatisfied expression.

"Big brother, you're so kind as to attack someone from behind."

Meng Jiuhe put down a basin, and a fragrant aroma wafted over. Xu Chaoyan, no longer sleepy, opened her eyes and looked over, staring at Meng Jiuhe like a puppy seeing food.

He smiled slightly, and his voice softened a bit: "Stewed tofu, Brother Zhang brought it over today. It's a new recipe I learned. Give it a try and see how it goes."

Meng Jiuxia glanced at the tofu with a skeptical look: "Brother, you're bragging. You can only make this because your aunt helped you."
