Ugly girl only wants to farm

Meng Jiuhe planted a kiss on her lips, then looked up at her, his voice low and husky: "You're the one who provoked me, so tell me how you're going to coax me?"

Xu Chaoyan never expected Meng Jiuhe to say such a thing. In her impression, this person was a high-and-mighty flower, and no matter how she teased or joked, he would never show his emotions.

The only time she saw him break down was when he was injured. After she stopped him from committing suicide, he rarely showed his emotions on his face, and he only missed his parents in private.

Xu Chaoyan also discovered it at night. Now that these words came out of his mouth, she was indeed a little incredulous. She stared at him blankly, unable to help but lick her lips. Her hand slowly went deeper into his clothes, and finally grabbed him.

Meng Jiuhe's eyes changed slightly, and when Xu Chaoyan saw his restrained expression, she immediately felt a surge of smugness.

Meng Jiuhe was so angry at this moment that he gritted his teeth and was about to tear the woman apart. He spoke the most vicious words with the fiercest eyes, but the words that came out of his mouth had a unique flavor.

"Is it easy to touch?"

After that, no more words were spoken from inside the house.

When Xu Chaoyan woke up in the morning, she rubbed her aching back and couldn't help but sigh inwardly that it was good to be young and strong. People always had inexhaustible energy and once they had tasted the sweetness of meat, they were unstoppable. She had always thought that Meng Jiuhe had some hidden illness.

The two had always slept together without anything happening, but it was as if this person had suddenly unlocked their full potential, going from initial awkwardness to later ease and control.

She marveled at this person's learning ability; were men all self-taught in that area?

Seeing him there, tidying his clothes with a satisfied look, he looked radiant and had a smile on his lips.

She couldn't help but curse him in her heart. Men are indeed men. The bastard doesn't recognize his wife after he's done his work. She was still suffering from back pain, while he looked refreshed.

Meng Jiu turned around and saw Xu Chaoyan staring blankly at him, with a hint of resentment and some dissatisfaction in her eyes. He was puzzled and walked over to sit down on the edge of the bed. He gently tucked her messy hair behind her ear and said softly, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Why don't you rest at home? I'll have Xia'er come over and help you. You've had a hard time these past few days."

Xu Chaoyan thought to herself, "You know how hard it is, but thankfully this man isn't ungrateful and sees all the hardships she's endured."

A smile played on her lips as she spoke with great tenderness: “It’s not hard at all. It’s my own choice to support my husband’s studies. As long as you pass the imperial examinations, don’t forget your wife who has shared your hardships. I’ve seen many plays that say high-ranking officials abandon their wives who have shared their hardships to marry noble ladies and rise through the ranks without taking any detours.”

Meng Jiuhe's raised hand suddenly froze in mid-air. He frowned and his tone became stern: "What nonsense are you talking about so early in the morning? Am I the kind of person who would abandon his wife who has shared his hardships? I have seen it all along. Is this how you think of me? In our family, there is only widowhood, not abandoning one's wife and children."

Xu Chaoyan saw that the man's expression was displeased and realized that she had bitten off more than she could chew. She had only said a few words casually, but who would have thought that he would take them seriously.

She quickly put on a flattering look: "Husband, don't be angry. I was just saying it casually. Besides, you are so kind and loyal, you would never abandon us."

No matter how eloquently Xu Chaoyan spoke, Meng Jiuhe ignored him, gave him a cold look, and slammed the door shut as he left.

As he walked, he muttered to himself, "Am I really that untrustworthy?" This woman seemed afraid that he would abandon her in the future. From the moment he agreed to marry her into the Meng family, although he wasn't too happy at the time and had some reservations, he gradually accepted her. Even if he was unwilling in his heart, he would never do anything to abandon his wife and children.

The Meng family would never allow such a thing to happen. Meng Jiuxia greeted her elder brother as usual, only to see that her elder brother had a sullen face and seemed very angry. Xu Chaoyan followed closely behind, and she knew that the two of them had probably quarreled again. It must be that her sister-in-law had displeased her elder brother.

Even at breakfast, she deliberately said things to get her older brother's attention, and intentionally or unintentionally said some nice things about Asahi, just to make a good impression on him.

"Brother, you have no idea how tough it is for my sister-in-law and me out there. Those people are cunning and strange, especially those women. They always bully us. Do you remember Wang Guihua who bullied us before?"

Meng Jiu didn't care about what his younger sister said at first. He pretended not to hear, but when he mentioned Wang Guihua, he still paid attention for a few moments, as if the woman's words from last time were still ringing in his ears.

He suddenly became curious and stole a glance at Xu Chaoyan's face. He noticed that she still had some pimples and acne scars, and he wondered to himself whether the method that woman mentioned actually worked. This was supposed to be to reduce internal heat, so why was she still like this?

Seeing that her elder brother didn't respond, Meng Jiuxia continued, "That Wang Guihua is absolutely despicable. She ruins our reputation outside and makes those women isolate us. My sister-in-law and I have received a lot of scorn from those people. Fortunately, my sister-in-law always protects me. So, elder brother, you must study hard and pass the imperial examination to be worthy of us. I am going to be the sister of a top scholar in the future."

Xu Chaoyan ate in silence, glancing up every now and then. Seeing that the man didn't answer, she also remained silent, feeling bored.

After breakfast, she personally escorted Meng Jiuhe to the gate of the courtyard and told him to be careful on the way and to come back from school early.

Meng Jiuhe remained indifferent and ignored her.

Xu Chaoyan felt a little annoyed that he was ignoring her. "That scoundrel, all he said was wrong, is it really necessary to make such a fuss?"

She sighed softly, then jogged a few steps forward, gently tugging at his sleeve with a pitiful look on her face: "Husband, please don't be angry, okay? Xiao Qi knows she was wrong."

Hearing her pitiful voice, Meng Jiuhe's heart softened. He realized that he had indeed gone too far with his words, and he felt guilty for saying such hurtful things. She worked so hard to take care of the family, and yet he treated her like this.

Xu Chaoyan felt a chill in her heart when she saw that he ignored her, and she secretly cursed him: What a bastard! She had already apologized to him so humbly, what more did he want? Forget it, she couldn't be bothered with him anymore. Let him be angry if he wants to. He's like a bullshit egg. Why should she shamelessly try to coax him? After thinking it through.

She let go of his hand and stopped holding onto his clothes. Meng Jiuhe couldn't bring himself to apologize to her, so he went straight to the school. When he passed by the Zhang family's courtyard, he still called Zhang Xuyang to come with him. No matter what he decided yesterday, he still had to act as usual.

Zhang Xuyang's face was stained, and he was wearing an apron, making him look somewhat disheveled.

"Jiuhe, could you please ask me to take leave today? Father is busy selling tofu, and I'll stay home to take care of Mother."

Meng Jiuhe nodded and, before leaving, reminded her, "My wife said last night that you should think about it. I'll ask for a day off on your behalf today. Take good care of your mother."

After Xu Chaoyan returned, Meng Jiuxia quickly came up to her: "Sister-in-law, what happened between you and my brother again? You two were fine for no reason, why are you angry again? My brother has rarely been angry since he was a child. The most times I've seen him get angry over the years were because of you. I really admire you."

Xu flicked her forehead: "You little brat, always gossiping. Hurry up and get ready to go to the Zhang family and lend a hand."

Finally, after Xu Chaoyan's persistent persuasion, the Zhang family agreed that the uncle would teach her how to make tofu and douhua (a type of Chinese crepe) for her to come and help every day. However, she would be paid according to the market price for her daily help.

Xu Chaoyan originally didn't intend to accept it, but in order to put the elderly couple at ease, she outwardly agreed.

Even after Meng Jiu returned, he still didn't pay much attention to her. Knowing that he had a bad temper, Xu Chaoyan was too lazy to bother coaxing him. She simply turned her back to him and fell fast asleep. Making tofu required getting up early, and she needed to get up early tomorrow to help the uncle. She had to be well-rested, and no one could disturb her sleep right now.
