Ugly girl only wants to farm

Chapter 188 Is he jealous?

Xu Chaoyan never expected such a coincidence. She never imagined that this kid was a rich second-generation. His simple and honest appearance was indeed quite funny.

He followed them all the way here, completely ignoring Meng Jiuhe's cold words and chatting with them warmly.

Now that the person has come all the way to her doorstep, she really can't just kick them out. Maybe if she can get along well with this person, she can even negotiate the rent in the future.

She greeted him with a smile: "That Mr. Shen? What a coincidence!"

Shen Siheng started helping them move their things without a second thought: "Sister-in-law, I knew we were destined to meet! I wish I had met you sooner, then I would have asked my second uncle to give you a discount."

Xu Chaoyan thought to herself, "It's not too late for you to say it now."

Meng Jiu ignored him and went straight up to knock on the door.

Zhang Xuyang was chopping wood with an axe when he heard the noise outside. He rushed over, looked at them with surprise, and then shouted into the house.

"Sister Meng, come here quickly, your brother and sister-in-law are here."

Zhang Xuyang was wearing shorts and his forehead was covered in sweat. He raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his face and then came over to move things.

Shen Siheng was carrying a box of books when Zhang Xuyang came over and took the box from him. He looked bewildered and pointed at Zhang Xuyang, asking, "Why are you stealing my things?"

Zhang Xuyang left with the comment: "Who is this guy? He's blocking the way."

Xu Chaoyan quickly handed him a small stool and pointed to the open space not far away: "Young Master Shen, why don't you take a break first? We can take care of this in no time."

Shen Siheng looked unhappy, like a child whose candy had been taken away.

"Sister-in-law, how can this person do this? He came over and snatched my things without even asking what happened. How can he do this? There's a proper order to things, isn't there?"

Xu Chaoyan smiled helplessly at his angry expression, and almost burst out laughing.

She couldn't be bothered to argue with him. Judging from his expression, he probably wouldn't leave anytime soon, so she figured he was a guest.

Shen Siheng followed behind Meng Jiuhe, trying to strike up a conversation, but Meng Jiuhe kept a straight face and carried the items, completely ignoring him.

Shen Siheng was very outgoing, greeting Meng Jiuxia one moment and chatting with Aunt Zhang and the others the next. But when he was with Zhang Xuyang, he couldn't help but hum a few times.

Xu Chaoyan was amused by her childish behavior. It was just that she had taken something from him once, but she acted as if she had some deep-seated grudge. They had helped her move her things and introduced her to the college in the county and the environment, so they couldn't just send her away.

Shen Siheng shamelessly insisted on staying for dinner. He had just instructed the waiter to prepare a feast, and about half an hour after they finished tidying up, the restaurant sent someone to deliver the feast.

Seeing the exquisite and delicious food, Xu Chaoyan couldn't refuse their kindness. As the saying goes, having more friends means having more options.

She whispered to Meng Jiuhe in secret: "Husband, don't blame me for taking the liberty of keeping this person here. We're new here and unfamiliar with many things. It's good to have this kind-hearted person introduce us. Besides, he doesn't seem like a bad person. Get to know him better; he seems to be quite simple-minded."

Meng Jiuhe stared at Xu Chaoyan for a while before speaking with some dissatisfaction: "You're quite observant. Do you know whether she's naive or not? We've only known each other for a short time, yet you seem to have figured out her personality perfectly. You're chatting and laughing with her as if I don't exist at all."

Xu Chaoyan was confused by his words. But when she saw Meng Jiu's dark face and displeased look, she realized that he seemed to be jealous.

She poked him a few times with her finger, looking incredulous: "Husband, are you jealous?"

Meng Jiu took a few steps back, looking somewhat awkward as he casually tidied up the things in the room, making some noise to cover up his embarrassment.

The courtyard is divided into east and west sides. The Zhang family has more people and lives on the east side, while the three of them live on the west side. There is a courtyard in the middle where they will put a few tables. It would be nice to cool off in the summer, but the courtyard is not very big. It is far smaller than where they live in town.

When the time comes, Xu Chaoyan will probably not be able to plant some vegetables or anything like that. As for the chickens she brought earlier, she will have to reluctantly put them in a small fence in a corner.

Meng Jiuhe was busy organizing the books. Seeing that he was no longer saying anything, Xu Chaoyan quickly went over to coax him. He was a good person in every way, but once he got angry, he wasn't so easy to talk to.

Seeing her chatting and laughing with someone else, he knew she was jealous, which meant he cared about her. She smiled and quickly moved closer, speaking softly, "Husband, I'll help you. What are you saying? I wasn't chatting and laughing with him at all. This was just normal socializing. Besides, he came for you. With my ugly appearance, how could he possibly be interested in me?"

“My husband is so handsome and learned. He can pursue you relentlessly with just a book. I’m worried that you’ll be seduced by him. As the saying goes, it’s better to keep an enemy by your side. Since he’s so enthusiastic about you and wants to be your friend, I have to stay by your side at all times to keep an eye on his every move and be on guard.”

Meng Jiuhe put down the book in his hand and his face turned even worse. He looked at her with a puzzled expression: "What are you talking about? How come he's become more enthusiastic about me? What's there for two grown men to talk about? I don't have any homosexual tendencies. You can't make up nonsense and slander me. It was clearly the two of you who were chatting and laughing. Why are you dragging me into this now? It's all nonsense."

"Brother Meng, sister-in-law, are you ready yet? Hurry up and come out to eat, the food will get cold and won't taste good. It's so cold in the middle of winter."

Shen Siheng's voice suddenly came from outside. Xu Chaoyan and Meng Jiuhe had just had a small disagreement because of this person, and when they suddenly heard his voice, Meng Jiuhe became even more displeased.

He shouted out the window, his voice rising a few decibels with a hint of resentment: "I'm not eating. Eat as much as you want, but get out of my house right after you're done. Don't hang around like a lazy dog. My house has plenty of doormen to guard it."

Shen Siheng was suddenly stunned by these words and couldn't come to his senses for a long time. He was fine just a moment ago, how could this person change so suddenly? It's like he's taken some kind of poison. If he doesn't want to make friends, he just doesn't want to. Why treat him like this? He had to offer his warm face to someone who didn't want to be treated coldly.

Xu Chaoyan walked over and opened the door to find Shen Siheng looking hurt. His pitiful appearance was just like the silly and cute husky she had seen before. Even though he had been wronged, he still looked at her with a blank expression.

“Sister-in-law, does Brother Meng not like me? And does he not like these dishes? Should I have the waiter bring some other things over? It was my oversight that you traveled such a long way here. I should have made some hot soup for you to warm yourselves up.”

Xu Chaoyan was racking her brains trying to think of what to say to comfort this silly boy and make him stop being sad, but he was fine with it. He had already figured himself out without her having to say a few words of comfort.

She smiled somewhat awkwardly: "Young Master Shen, the dishes at your house are quite good. I could smell the aroma from afar, so they must be delicious. My husband is a man of few words, and he didn't mean to blame you. He just had a little argument with me and is still upset. Please understand. Let's go eat."

Shen Siheng quickly called out into the house again, "Brother Meng, Brother Meng, come out quickly. After dinner, I'll take you to the bookstore. They've got a lot of new books there recently. You're so knowledgeable, you'll definitely like them."

Meng Jiuhe watched the two talking and felt a little uncomfortable. Xu Chaoyan had never spoken to him this much before, and she was even talking to that silly boy so kindly. He felt even worse. Just as he was about to lash out, Xu Chaoyan glared at him, the meaning of which was clear: you'd better know your place.
