Ugly girl only wants to farm

Today, after Xu Chaoyan prepared all the lunches and delivered them to the school, she carried her tofu pudding stall to the entrance of Meng Jiuhe School. The students who had bought her tofu pudding were very craving it and kept asking her to come and set up her stall at noon, because she had been too busy to find extra time.

She felt really embarrassed, so she squeezed out some time today to carry the load over and bring some hot soup and rice to Meng Jiuhe. After entering autumn, drinking some hot soup will warm you up, and autumn is also the best time to nourish your body.

She cooked a pot of soup for Meng Jiuhe and brought it to him while it was still steaming hot.

Zhang Xuyang pointed at the people not far away with an excited expression: "Meng Jiuhe, look, your wife is here today! I was wondering why you were all smiles today. It turns out your wife is here to bring you warmth. Let's go see if we can lend a hand."

The two had just finished eating in the backyard when Meng Jiuhe was surprised that Xu Chaoyan hadn't told him in advance that she was coming over.

I didn't hear her say anything this morning.

A student surrounded Xu Chaoyan's stall, chattering excitedly: "Young lady, young lady, quickly give me a bowl of that with extra scallions, and also give me extra golden beans." The stall was bustling with activity.

Xu Chaoyan had probably just arrived; beads of sweat were still on her forehead, and her hair was slightly disheveled, suggesting she had rushed over.

Meng Jiu and several others strode over to her, helped unload all the small stools from the carrying pole, and invited the students to sit down.

Xu Chaoyan smiled when she saw him: "Husband, you're here. Oh, right, I made you some soup and brought it over. Please wait a moment."

Meng Jiuhe nodded, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead, his voice as gentle as jade: "Do you need my help? Are you able to handle this?"

Zhang Xuyang also helped out. Because Xu Chaoyan had limited strength, she originally wanted to bring a table, but unfortunately there was no manpower available, so she just hung a few small stools on the wooden barrel next to her, and everyone sat there and quickly ate.

"Who gave you permission to sell these things at the school gate? Did you get my permission?"

Xu Chaoyan was busy helping other students make tofu pudding with seasoning, planning to make a bowl for Meng Jiu and Zhang Xuyang to eat with the soup later.

Everyone was startled by the sudden sound and looked up to see Qi Tianci swaggering over from the other side.

He was accompanied by his usual lackeys, who looked arrogant and domineering, but if you looked closely, you could see that he walked with a limp.

Xu Chaoyan continued scooping in another spoonful of chili oil without stopping: "Why do I need your permission to set up a stall here? Who do you think you are?"

Qi Tianci pushed through the crowd and walked up to her. He glanced at the tofu pudding in her bucket and let out a mocking laugh: "Who is it? It's that ugly woman from Meng Jiuhe's family. You still have the nerve to sell this filthy food here? Aren't you afraid of eating it and then running away with your pants down?"

Those people were enjoying their tofu pudding and had been watching the drama unfold, but his words immediately dampened their spirits.

Some people even frowned and muttered, "This Qi Tianci is too domineering. Why is it that we're getting in his way just by eating?"

Meng Jiuhe stepped forward, shielding her. His expression was somewhat unpleasant as he stared at Qi Tianci: "What do you want to do? What's wrong with my wife setting up a stall here? There are stalls everywhere outside the school. What's it to you? You think you can control everything, but do you even care about this? Do you live by the sea?"

Xu Chaoyan whispered to Zhang Xuyang, "That lame guy, didn't you say last time that the earth dragon turned over and he was smashed half to death? How come he's causing trouble at the school again?"

Zhang Xuyang glanced at Qi Tianci's appearance, looking completely bewildered: "I don't know either. I did hear that he was badly injured and couldn't even get out of bed. I never imagined that he would recover so quickly and come back to act like a bully. As the saying goes, 'Heaven is watching what people do.' I guess his time just hasn't come yet."

Qi Tianci took out a bamboo skewer and picked his teeth in a very unseemly manner: "How can I not care? This whole area belongs to my uncles and they all charge fees. Your ugly woman paid the stall fee. And I have to say, you are a scholar, and you not only married an ugly woman, but you also let her show her face in public. It's really shameful. If it were me, I would have been too ashamed to show my face to anyone."

The lackeys following behind him echoed, "That's right, you still have the nerve to study here? You should have gone back to the countryside to be a peasant long ago. Aren't you afraid of disgracing your status as a scholar?"

Qi Tianci took out a bamboo skewer and threw it over. The skewer landed right on the edge of the wooden bucket lid. Qi Tianci then spat twice and said, "Sorry, my hand is crooked and my mouth is crooked too."

Those who had initially been watching with amusement now saw his wicked behavior and put down their bowls to leave, losing all interest in eating the tofu pudding.

Qi Tianci must have been fed too well at home these past few months. He's grown fat and chubby, and when he talks, he drools with an ambiguous smell. After the bamboo skewer fell, everyone lost their appetite.

Xu Chaoyan, unperturbed, stepped forward with a smile: "My dear classmate, it's been a long time. My tofu pudding here is worth one tael of silver. How will you pay?"

Hearing these familiar words, Qi Tianci was momentarily stunned. Suddenly, he remembered that this woman had extorted a lot of money from him before. His face turned ashen, and he pointed at her and shouted, "You ugly woman, you not only extorted money from me before, but now you want to extort me again, huh? You come to my territory and you still want to act like a bully? Today I won't let you get away with this!"

His fingers were almost poking Xu Chaoyan's face when Meng Jiu grabbed his wrist and exerted a little force.

Qi Tianci then yelled, "Let go! Let go!"

Meng Jiuhe increased the pressure, his tone icy: "Are you going to pay or not?"

Qi Tianci's face was pale with pain, but he still stubbornly insisted, "Why should I compensate you? I didn't scare away these guests of yours."

Xu Chaoyan took the opportunity to move the wooden bucket away a little, and the toothpick fell directly onto the tofu pudding.

“My fellow student, your bamboo skewer ruined half a pot of my tofu pudding, and there was also your saliva just now. Considering we are classmates, I will give you a discount of one tael of silver.”

"Are you all dead? Hurry up and do it!" Qi Tianci shouted at his three lackeys.

Those people were all cowards who bullied the weak and feared the strong. One of them said weakly, "Tianci, I think you should just pay for it. You were wrong this time. You should compensate for the damage you caused. If this gets back to the teacher, it will be difficult for you to get into school again."

Qi Tianci had been warned by the teacher several times for frequently causing trouble in the school. This time, when the earth dragon turned over, he was crushed and suffered terribly. It took him several months to recover to his current state.

His parents wanted him to learn more characters and make friends, so that if these people passed the imperial examinations in the future, he could benefit from their success.

He looked disdainful, thinking it was no wonder those peasants couldn't possibly win.

Finally, Qi Tianci reluctantly paid one tael of silver before heading into the school. As he left, he gave Zhang Xuyang a meaningful look, glared at him fiercely, and then uttered a sentence.

"You're ruthless, kid. Don't think you can just wipe the slate clean after what you did before."

When Zhang Xuyang saw him suddenly bring up the matter again, he panicked and his face instantly became flustered, fearing that this bastard would expose that matter. He quickly calmed himself down and glared back at him.

Xu Chaoyan placed the wooden bucket lid between the two small stools: "Come here, my husband, I've simmered some soup and added some cabbage leaves. You two can each have a bowl of this hot soup."

Zhang Xuyang was somewhat absent-minded while drinking. He hadn't seen Qi Tianci come to the school for a long time, and he wondered what this guy was up to this time. He had been holding the bowl of soup for almost half an hour.

Seeing that he was holding the bowl with a slight frown, Meng Jiuhe nudged him gently with her elbow: "Zhang Xuyang, what's wrong? Is something on your mind?"

Zhang Xuyang shook his head repeatedly: "It's nothing, it's nothing."

After Xu Chaoyan finished her work here, she went to check with the craftsmen to see if they still had the tea they had brought them. After sunset, she went back with Meng Jiu and the others.

Just as she passed by the Zhang family's house, she suddenly heard what sounded like crying coming from inside. She was startled; why would there be crying coming from the Zhang family's courtyard?
