Ugly girl only wants to farm

Uncle Meng pointed at them with a bamboo pole, his face fierce: "Meng Jiu and Meng Jiuxia, are you trying to rebel? You even dare to hit your second aunt. Do you not respect your second uncle?"

Meng Jiuhe had caught his breath by now. He glanced at his unreasonable second aunt and the mud on his younger sister and snorted twice: "Second Uncle, don't you know what kind of people your own family are? This is my land. What is your second aunt trying to do? Stealing my vegetables and acting so self-righteous. She beat my wife and younger sister like this and still dares to accuse me first."

Only then did Uncle Meng notice the full basket of vegetables weighed down by his wife's feet, and the blood smeared on her forehead.

Although he felt a little guilty, he still stubbornly refused to lose face in front of the younger generation, otherwise how could he be expected to do so in the future?

He pointed at the patch of greens on the ground with a disdainful look: "So what if I picked a few of your greens? It's no big deal. It's better for our family to eat them than for those shameless people in the village to benefit from them. Were you home or not? We've been taking care of every inch of the area around the house these days. By rights, most of this land belongs to our family. Hurry up and apologize to your aunt, or when your parents come back, I'll tell them about this and see how they deal with you."

Xu Chaoyan got angry as their words became increasingly outrageous. Pointing at the field of vegetables, she said, "These vegetables were painstakingly dug up and planted by my mother, sister-in-law, and me. You can imagine how much effort we put in. How did it become your responsibility to take care of them for us? It's rained several times and the vegetables are growing well. Does that mean they belong to you? Does that mean my yard and fields also belong to you?"

Liu muttered to herself: I wish your yard and fields were mine. When my son grows up and needs to get married, her yard is a bit smaller than theirs. When her mother-in-law and her husband divided the family property, she complained that her eldest son's family had significantly more land and property than theirs.

She had made a scene several times before, and now a thought suddenly flashed through her mind. Before Liu could grasp it, Meng Jiuhe scolded her loudly.

"Second Uncle's words are unreasonable. Back then, Father taught you to read a few words, so you must be sensible. Don't you know that taking without asking is stealing? If you want to eat our vegetables, just say so. We'll let you pick them all without saying a word. Why do you have to do something sneaky and hurt my wife and little sister like this? It's disheartening. Even if this matter is reported to Father and Mother, so what? We're in the right either way."

Uncle Meng and his wife were speechless. It was true that they had taken it without asking, but they couldn't possibly let three juniors bully them.

Liu was not one to be taken advantage of, and she pointed at them and started cursing: "You three heartless dogs, you've been away from home these past few days. Summer is always rainy, and if my husband hadn't gotten up at night to look after your yard and this vegetable garden, your yard and this vegetable garden would have been washed away long ago. Don't be ungrateful."

Liu glanced at Meng Jiuhe again, her face full of sarcasm: "I didn't expect you to be so lucky, your legs are all healed now." In her heart, she wished he couldn't stand up anymore.

Uncle Meng then noticed that his nephew was standing there perfectly fine. In the morning, he had only caught a glimpse of the little girl's figure and hadn't seen Meng Jiuhe walk past at all.

A look of surprise appeared on his face. He had originally had some plans in mind, but seeing his nephew standing there unharmed, his expression suddenly changed several times.

At this moment, Peach Blossom tugged at his sleeve: "Dad, how is Big Brother fully recovered? Didn't you see his legs were trembling just now? I reckon he won't be able to stand for long before he collapses. Think about it, he fell from such a height and barely escaped with his life. It's no wonder his legs won't fully recover."

Uncle Meng then took a closer look at Meng Jiuhe and saw that his body trembled slightly and there was a stick lying beside him. Only then did he feel relieved.

Meng Jiu ignored their probing gazes and replied coldly, "My yard and fields don't need your care. Who knew we'd end up looking at your house? You should mind your own business."

Xu Chaoyan also joined in the accusation: "Second Uncle, you're really meddling in other people's business. With just this little courtyard and this little bit of land, why do you need to put down all my vegetables? I won't say anything about what you harvested before, but you have to give us an explanation for what happened today, or we'll call the village chief over."

Uncle Meng said fiercely, "When we men are talking, how can a woman like you have the right to interrupt? Is this how Meng Jiu and you discipline your wife? Disrespecting an elder and behaving like that. Is this how your father taught you? You've wasted your education."

Meng Jiuxia came over from the side: "How did my father educate my brother? It's none of your business. Just take care of your own affairs. Don't let outsiders say that our Meng family has a thief. I'd like to see how your daughter will find a husband in the future."

Seeing that his younger sister and Xu Chaoyan had no obvious injuries, Meng Jiuhe was too lazy to get entangled with these people any longer.

My second uncle's family is already difficult to deal with; if I continue to get entangled with them, I'll definitely be the one who suffers in the end.

He looked at them indifferently: "Second Uncle, I won't hold this against you this time. Just take care of your own family affairs. If there is a next time, I will not let it go so easily."

"Pah, who do you think you are? Brother, you never dared to treat me like this before. Back then, our family was poor and we used all our money to support your education. Your aunt and I lived a miserable life, and this is how you repay me?"

Seeing his shameless appearance, Xu Chaoyan wanted to tear off his hypocritical face. She was willing to believe that Aunt Meng was paying for her father's studies, but how could her second uncle be so despicable?

She didn't want to argue any longer: "Husband, let's go first. Let's not talk to them anymore. We have a lot to do when we get back."

After saying that, he gestured for his sister-in-law to come and help him, and the two of them planned to go back one after the other.

Uncle Meng was ignored like this, and feeling angry, he raised his hand and threw a bamboo pole. The sound of the bamboo pole flying through the air startled Xu Chaoyan, who quickly pulled him aside to avoid it.

Meng Jiuxia, pale-faced, stared at the bamboo pole not far from her, patting her chest and exhaling, "That scared me to death! Second Uncle, are you trying to kill us?"

Meng Jiuhe's face was even worse. If Xu Chaoyan hadn't pulled him away, the sharp end of the bamboo pole would have pierced his body. His heart was pounding in his chest.

Enraged, Xu Chaoyan picked up a bamboo pole and threw it back without a second thought. The couple's expressions changed drastically, and their bodies trembled. The second uncle pulled Liu Shi in front of him to shield her, his forehead covered in sweat.

Liu's eyes rolled back and she collapsed. Only then did her second uncle glance at the swaying bamboo pole on the ground and wipe his sweat from his brow.

“You shameless woman surnamed Xu, how dare you disrespect your elders and even fight back? Now that your aunt is unconscious, you have to give us an explanation.”

Uncle Meng took the initiative and shouted. With such a commotion, Liu's shrill voice carried far, and at that moment, a figure was walking towards them from afar.

"Meng Er, are you slaughtering a pig? What's your wife yelling about again? You two certainly have your own unique ways of doing things. You're not young anymore, be careful not to hurt your back, hahaha." A woman's teasing voice came from afar.

Uncle Meng, his face dark with anger, cursed, "Watermelon, shut your mouth."

Meng Taohua had just received a hint from her mother when she saw someone approaching. She immediately burst into tears, crying, "Mother? Wake up! This ugly monster is going too far! He disrespected his elders and beat you to death like that! What am I going to do now? I'm not even married yet and I've already lost my mother. Who will support me now?"

Xu Chaoyan looked on with amusement, thinking, "When it comes to acting, my second aunt's family is really something else. They've even surpassed their teachers! They managed to extort money from them like this."

Meng Jiuhe's patience had run out. He pointed to the bamboo pole not far away and said with a mocking look, "Second Uncle, that bamboo pole is still ten feet away from Second Aunt."
