Ugly girl only wants to farm

Uncle Meng glanced at the bamboo pole, which was still ten feet away from his wife. He was now in a difficult situation and stubbornly shouted, "You're the ones who scared your aunt to death! She's already frail and sickly. What will happen to her after you scare her like this?"

When Xu Chaoyan saw him shamelessly say these words, she sneered: "Second Uncle, even if you want to extort money, you should come up with a better reason. No dog would believe this reason."

Liu was strong and healthy; the idea that he was weak and sickly was completely unfounded.

At this moment, several figures were already moving towards this direction in the distance.

The woman who had just been joking with Uncle Meng also walked over in a few steps.

"Oh my god, what happened? Why is Liu lying on the ground? Meng Er, I told you two not to go too far, didn't you believe me?"

Uncle Meng glared at her and said, "Water melon, don't talk nonsense if you don't know. If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."

The woman called Shui Donggua stepped forward a few more times: "Oh, is this the eldest son of the Meng family, the scholar? I heard you injured your leg the other day, but it seems you've recovered quite well."

Meng Jiu nodded to her somewhat distantly and indifferently. This woman was the village gossip, and in no time, news of their situation would spread throughout the village.

He rarely went out in the village. His mother had told him that this man was very quick-witted.

Meng Taohua's eyes darted around a couple of times, and then she started wailing again: "Aunt Donggua, please do justice for my family! My cousin bullied us and beat my mother so badly that her head was bleeding, and she's unconscious right now."

At this moment, a few more people gathered around: "Hey Meng family, what are you doing? What are you doing making a ruckus in the fields? We could hear you howling like wolves from far away."

Meng Taohua and her second uncle became even more arrogant. Seeing that they were surrounded by gossipy women from the village and a few burly men, they seemed to feel even more confident.

Meng Taohua cried and talked as she recounted the whole story, and everyone looked at Meng Jiu and the others with dissatisfaction and contempt.

One of the women muttered, "This scholar Meng has at least studied the classics, how could he disrespect his elders and beat them? If this gets out, how will he ever face anyone again? No matter how outrageous Liu is, she is still your second aunt, your elder. You can't let your wife beat her elder. As the saying goes, when choosing a wife, one should choose a virtuous one. This woman is ugly and unfilial. This shrew should be divorced as soon as possible, lest she tarnish the reputation of your Meng family."

Meng Jiuxia spat at the women a few times: "I think you're just meddling in other people's business. You can't even manage your own affairs. Your wife and father-in-law were caught together behind the haystack, why don't you feel ashamed? You still have the nerve to shout here. You've got a blade of grass on your head, don't you want to choke to death?"

The woman was so angry at Meng Jiuxia's words that she grimaced and stared at her actions. If someone hadn't stopped her, she would have torn Meng Jiuxia to pieces.

Xu Chaoyan reassured her with a half-smile and whispered in her ear, "Little sister-in-law, don't fall for their tricks. These people can't stand to see us doing well. Don't worry, I've got everything covered. I won't let them succeed."

Meng Jiuxia took a few steps forward: "Second Uncle, since Second Aunt is currently unconscious and in critical condition, my niece-in-law knows a little about medicine, so I'll take a look at her. I hope that any uncle or aunt can help us invite the old woman in the village who knows medicine over. My Second Aunt is in critical condition, so please don't blame us for it. Everyone should be a witness for us."

When Uncle Meng saw her walking towards him, he stared at her warily, his voice less confident than before: "Hey ugly girl, don't try anything funny. Half the village is here. If anything happens to your aunt, I'll make sure you spend the rest of your lives in jail."

Xu Chaoyan looked at him with a hurt expression: "Second Uncle, what are you saying? I'm only thinking about Second Aunt. Since you want to extort money from us, I have to prove my innocence."

Meng Taohua also knelt directly in front of her mother with a resistant expression: "Let me tell you, ugly woman, don't even think about getting close to my mother. You've already hurt us enough before, what other tricks are you trying to pull now?"

Meng Jiuxia also came over to help, shoving her aside and saying, "Get out of my way and don't block my sister-in-law's path. Haven't you heard the saying 'A good dog doesn't block the way'?"

At this moment, several women came over and gathered around, advising, "Peach Blossom, just let her see. There are so many of us here, what tricks can she possibly pull? Don't worry, we aunties will stand up for you."

Meng Taohua and her second uncle were in a precarious situation, caught between a rock and a hard place. They could neither move forward nor retreat, and had no choice but to give in.

He wanted to see what tricks this ugly woman could pull; knowing his wife as he did, he was sure she would make this ugly woman suffer.

After Xu Chaoyan saw him move aside, she bent down and listened to Liu's chest. Everyone was very puzzled by her action.

Meng Taohua shouted from the side, "Ugly woman, what are you trying to do to my mother? Don't play dumb. Let me tell you, if anything happens to my mother, I won't let you off the hook."

Xu Chaoyan made a vague gesture to her, and then listened to her pulse about three more times before she dared to be sure. She then placed her hand on her pulse and carefully felt it for a while. This time she was finally sure that Liu was obviously faking it and trying to extort them.

She originally wanted to give Liu a first aid, but when she saw Liu's big mouth and the tartar on her teeth, she couldn't bring herself to do it. She had planned to pry open Liu's mouth and give her artificial respiration, spitting out a mouthful of thick phlegm with each breath to ensure that Liu would wake up immediately. But then she felt that it would be too easy for Liu.

After confirming the matter, Xu Chaoyan took her other hand and felt her pulse again, then pretended to flip her eyelids to look at her pupils, and finally looked at her legs.

Seeing her looking at his hands, legs, and even rolling his eyelids, everyone wondered what she was up to. They watched with amusement, and some even joked, "This scholar Meng's wife is truly extraordinary. She's the most beautiful and capable woman in our village, and she even knows this strange art of ecstasy. We country folk are so envious."

As Liu lay on the ground, after witnessing Xu Chaoyan's actions, she thought to herself that this ugly woman couldn't possibly come up with anything special; she could only roll her eyelids and touch her hands.

She continued to lie there contentedly, while Meng Jiuxia gently tugged at her sleeve and whispered in her ear, "Sister-in-law, are you sure that Second Aunt won't really kick the bucket?"

Xu Chaoyan gave her a reassuring look and then explained to everyone, "I have just examined Second Aunt by observation and palpation. There is nothing seriously wrong with her. I learned a massage technique that is specifically for fainting. Second Aunt just fainted due to a sudden shock. I will massage her for a while and she will wake up in less than 15 minutes."

Meng Taohua and her second uncle looked at her suspiciously: "You say it can work, so it can work? What if it doesn't wake up in half an hour?"

Xu Chaoyan secretly rolled her eyes and calmly said, "If he doesn't wake up in two quarters of an hour, you can do whatever you want with him."

A cunning glint flashed in the second uncle's eyes, and he couldn't hide the contemptuous smile on his lips: "Then we'll have to trouble you with your second aunt. We'll wait here. If she doesn't wake up in a quarter of an hour, she'll have to rely on you for the rest of her life. Your Peach Blossom's dowry, and my son's wedding betrothal gifts, all of these will depend on you."

The crowd had initially had some reservations about Meng Jiu and his group bullying their elders, but now that they saw Uncle Meng Er shamelessly saying these things, they felt it was going too far, and some couldn't stand it anymore.

"Meng Er, aren't you going too far?"

Peach Blossom glared at the woman who had spoken up: "None of your business. Just keep your own man in check."

The woman looked unwell and remained silent.

Xu Chaoyan lifted Liu's leg, bending the lower leg, and tried hard to recall the acupoints she had pressed before. She followed the lower leg and found a small depression. She pressed it twice tentatively, and even with just those two tentative presses, she could feel Liu's body tremble slightly.

She thought to herself that she had found the right spot and that she did have some talent. So she slowly increased the force in her hands.
