Ugly girl only wants to farm

The maid quickly kowtowed to express her gratitude. Her mistress's temper wasn't exactly good, but as long as you went along with her, everything was fine. That was why she had served by her mistress's side the longest.

Qin Zhenzhen patted the dirt off her hands, looking disgusted: "Go quickly and take out the new clothes I made before and iron them, then burn them with incense and add some jewelry. I want to appear in front of him looking beautiful, and see how he can still look at that ugly woman. Everyone loves beauty, I don't believe he can bring himself to kiss that ugly woman every day."

After receiving her reward, the maid quickly went to the jewelry box and picked out one that she was somewhat satisfied with. She didn't dare to choose according to her own feelings, even though that's what her mistress said. But if it were discovered that she had chosen the one she liked the most, her mistress's face would be dark for several days. This had happened before, so she knew her limits.

The maid picked out an inconspicuous pearl earring the size of a grain of rice. As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot. If she didn't take advantage of her young mistress's good mood and pick out the reward first, there would be no such good thing afterward.

For slaves like them, the monthly allowance was meager. She wanted to save up a dowry so that she could live a comfortable and peaceful life when she reached a certain age.

Although life in the manor is peaceful and comfortable, her young mistress has an unpredictable temperament. Many of the maids have been sold off, and if she gets married in the future, she will definitely be sent away as a dowry maid. With her jealous nature, if the young mistress looks at the groom even once, she might gouge out her eyes. She still needs to make plans for the rest of her life.

Shen Siheng was overjoyed to be able to stay at the Meng family's house for dinner, and before he knew it, he had drunk too much. Since it was still the New Year's holiday, the restaurant not only sent him some seasonal vegetables, chicken, duck, fish and meat, but also a jar of plum wine. Shen Siheng was not a very good drinker, and since the restaurant sent a jar of plum wine that had been pickled before the New Year, he was so happy that he ate about half of the jar.

Shen Siheng's face flushed red, and he let out a burp. He staggered to his feet, walked over, and shoved Zhang Xuyang aside. He glared at him with displeasure: "Brother Zhang, how can you be so tactless? You spend every day with Brother Meng. Can't I even have a few more words with him?"

Seeing that his face was as red as a monkey's bottom from drinking, and that he was swaying unsteadily from the smell of alcohol, Zhang Xuyang didn't bother with him and found a seat to sit down.

Seeing his drunken state, Xu Chaoyan quickly instructed Meng Jiuxia to make him a cup of honey water to help him sober up.

Meng Jiuxia looked pained and reluctantly said, "Sister-in-law, if he likes to drink, let him drink it. It's such a waste that he drinks this wine like water. The honey is very precious, and it's too wasteful to give it to him."

The small jar of honey in her house was a small jar she got when she went back to the village before. She still doesn't really want to drink it, and usually just makes a cup for her older brother occasionally.

Xu Chaoyan tapped her head: "You, even if you don't care about the monk, you should at least care about the Buddha, right? How many snacks have people given you every day? You can't even bear to part with a cup of honey water. Hurry up and go. Don't be so stingy."

Shen Siheng walked over and slapped Meng Jiuhe on the shoulder: "Brother Meng, don't worry about the county entrance exam. I've already found someone to pull some strings. I'll secretly tell you that I found a set of exam questions. Why don't you try doing these questions? It's better to be prepared."

Zhang Xuyang and Meng Jiuhe were stunned for a moment after hearing his words, and asked in unison, "Where did you get these test questions? How could you know such a private matter? You weren't fooled, were you?"

Shen Siheng let out another hiccup: "Leave this to me. I'll tell you secretly that I had a few drinks with Qin Zhenzhen's brother the other day and managed to get some information out of him."

Xu Chaoyan had been listening very attentively, but after hearing this, she smiled helplessly. This person was indeed drunk and just talking nonsense. These exam questions couldn't be leaked so easily.

Shen Siheng stayed over again tonight as usual. Since Xu Chaoyan's family didn't have any spare rooms, I had to make him squeeze in with Zhang Xuyang tonight. Zhang Xuyang's face was darker than the bottom of a pot. Looking at the person acting crazy in his room, he wished he could hit him on the head with a shoe.

What sins did he commit today to make this man drink too much and go crazy in his presence? He rubbed his aching temples, and just as he saw that another book was about to be ruined, he quickly snatched it away and held it protectively in his arms. How long does this little devil intend to cause trouble tonight?

At this moment, Zhang Yueniang came back from outside with a steaming bowl of hangover soup: "Xuyang, quickly make him drink it down, don't let him cause any more trouble, or he'll disturb the neighbors."

Meng Jiuhe had been somewhat cold towards Xu Chaoyan these past few days, but today, upon hearing that they were going out for a trip tomorrow, she had a smile on her face all day, and seeing her smile made him happy.

After soaking her feet at night, Xu Chaoyan saw Meng Jiuhe half-leaning on the bed, wearing a robe and holding a book in his hand. She was stunned. As the saying goes, the more you look at a beautiful woman under the lamp, the more attractive she becomes. The same principle applies to handsome men under the lamp.

Hearing the noise, Meng Jiuhe looked up and said gently, "Everything has been settled over there. Is Shen Siheng up to his usual antics? We told him not to let him stay at our house for meals. Look at him, drunk and causing a ruckus here. Make him fix our chicken coop tomorrow, or he's not allowed to come here again."

Xu Chaoyan didn't hear a single word Meng Jiuhe said. She only saw his sexy lips opening and closing, and suddenly she wanted to kiss those soft, jelly-like lips. With that thought in mind, she put it into action, walked over and gently sat on the edge of the bed. Meng Jiuhe moved a little closer and looked at her, talking about tomorrow's plans.

Xu Chaoyan snatched the book from his hand, reached out and stroked his face, her voice becoming more charming and alluring: "Young master, are you lonely in the long night? Would you like me to keep you company?"

Meng Jiuhe's face turned slightly unnatural at her bold words, a blush creeping up her cheeks. She quickly and clumsily snatched the book from her hands to cover her panic: "Nonsense."

No sooner had he finished uttering that silly remark than Xu Chaoyan wrapped her arms around his neck and gently sucked on his lips.

Meng Jiuhe, holding the book, was stunned for a moment, unable to react. Xu Chaoyan only kissed him lightly for a moment before letting go, looking at him with some dissatisfaction: "You're not concentrating." Then, before Meng Jiuhe could react, she pressed him down.

The next day, the group got ready early and helped Aunt Zhang and the others move the tofu stall onto the street.

The streets were bustling with activity on the Lantern Festival, with all sorts of stalls and vendors selling lanterns and snacks everywhere. Xu Chaoyan thought it would only be lively at night, but she didn't expect the streets to be so lively during the day as well.

The streets and alleys were packed with people. They thought Shen Siheng was just bluffing them by saying that the Lantern Festival, which was held once every three years, was very lively. But in reality, the streets were filled with all kinds of floats and acrobatic performances that dazzled the audience.

The old lady's tofu pudding sold out in less than an hour. Meng Jiu and the others wandered around for half an hour, but they were so crowded that they still hadn't made it out of the street.

Xu Chaoyan was extremely annoyed. She wished she had made more tofu pudding yesterday. If she had gone out to do business with her aunt, she could have made a small fortune. Looking at the crowd of people in front of her, she suddenly made a decision. She turned around and took Meng Jiuhe's hand: "Husband, why don't we skip shopping today? I need to hurry up and do my business. While it's still early, I'll go make some bone broth and oden. With this huge crowd, I guarantee I can make a fortune today."

Originally, with people coming and going, Meng Jiu was afraid they would get lost, so he held one of their hands. Now, the two of them each had a string of candied hawthorns, and their mouths were covered in candy.

He quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe the person's face and glanced at the endless crowd: "Let's do business with that lady later. Today is a rare day to relax, so let's take a good stroll together."

Before Meng Jiuhe could finish speaking, the two women, the aunt and the sister-in-law, led him back to their residence.

Qin Zhenzhen stomped her foot angrily as she watched Meng Jiu not far away. She couldn't squeeze through the crowd, wave after wave. She finally saw Shen Siheng and his group, but before she could even greet them, the crowd pushed her aside. She threw down the roasted chestnuts in her hand in anger.
