Ugly girl only wants to farm

Seeing the man's furious expression, Xu Chaoyan quickly slipped out before he could explode.

Before leaving, she kindly closed the door behind her: "My husband, hurry up and change your clothes and come out. As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm, so you need to have a strong body first."

Xu Chaoyan caught a glimpse of the man's instantly changed expression through the crack in the door, and then slammed the door shut.

She touched her nose and said awkwardly, "What I said isn't wrong. Didn't the imperial examinations take place in those small cubicles for several days, where you ate, drank, and relieved yourself? There's nothing wrong with that as physical exercise, is there?"

“Ignorant woman, utterly foolish.”

Meng Jiuhe said it through gritted teeth.

Don't think he didn't see it. That ugly woman not only coveted his body, but also dared to complain about his poor health. Who gave her the guts? Indeed, human nature cannot be changed.

She doesn't even look at herself; she resorts to despicable means to force him to marry her. One day he will definitely divorce this woman.

"Yan'er, did you sleep well last night?"

Li San Niang came over with a basin of chicken feed. Xu Chaoyan stretched her body a few times and felt much better. It was impossible for her to cook; she was afraid that the kitchen would burn down. The Meng family was already poor, and they needed to make a living for the time being.

Xu Chaoyan took the wooden basin: "Mother, shall I go feed the chickens? I'll leave the cooking to you; I'm really not good at it."

Li San Niang smiled gently, not annoyed at all: "It's alright, why don't you sleep a little longer? It's rare for Jiu and him to come back, you two should stay a little longer."

Xu Chaoyan replied, "Mother, my husband's studies are more important."

She then revealed a kind and understanding smile, which Li San Niang did not see because it was hidden by her veil.

Li Sanniang, speaking with the air of someone who's been through it all, said: "I know you've been wronged by marrying into our family. Jiuhe is a bit cold-hearted, so please bear with him. It's a rare opportunity for you two to come back. Cherish this chance, and if you two get pregnant, I'll be able to hold my grandson next year."

Li San Niang's eyes swept over her stomach.

Xu Chaoyan thought to herself, "Isn't the pressure to get married and have children the same all over the world?" She just wanted to live a peaceful life, wait for her cheap father to gain a foothold and take her back. She wanted to live off her parents like a parasite, or find a son-in-law to live with her so she could continue to earn money. She didn't want to do anything at all.

"Mother, it's rare for my husband to come back. Why don't you make some of his favorite dishes? I'll help you out in a bit."

Having finally managed to get her mother-in-law away, she really couldn't handle any more talking.

With their current situation, how could they possibly have children? She couldn't possibly reproduce on her own, could she? And would they even acknowledge the child? Besides, with such rudimentary medical conditions in ancient times, she was afraid she would die before she had even had enough of life. This body was also unsuitable for bearing offspring.

"Goo, goo, goo, everyone's coming to eat! Don't push or shove!"

As a large rooster pounced at her, Xu Chaoyan was so frightened that she retreated several steps. Before she knew it, she had fallen into a basin of water, feeling a wet sensation and pain on her buttocks.

Xu Chaoyan didn't bother to get up. Her eyes darted around, wondering if someone would happen to see her in such an embarrassing state. What a disgrace to her face!

Seeing that no one was around, she relaxed and pushed herself up with her hands on the ground. She thought to herself that if Meng Jiuxia saw her like this, she would be overjoyed.

She tried to exert force but failed, and the pain in her buttocks became increasingly intense.

When Meng Jiuhe pushed open the door, he saw the ugly woman sitting on the ground, her hands supporting her weight, muttering "one, two, three, rise!" He frowned and wondered what she was up to now.

Hearing the door open, Xu Chaoyan involuntarily looked up and their eyes met.

She was sitting in the wooden tub, her skirt half-wet. Coincidentally, the tub was about the same size as her hips, so she couldn't get out. With her clothes wet, she felt even more embarrassed when Meng Jiu came out, and quickly sat back down on the ground in embarrassment.

When Meng Jiuhe came out, he saw the woman sitting on the ground and looked at her with disgust. He glanced at her casually and saw that she was sitting there with a worried look on her face. He said impatiently, "What are you still dawdling here for? Didn't I tell you to go and make breakfast and help your mother with some housework? Are you trying to slack off here again?"

"When you come to my Meng family, it's not like your Xu family. You don't understand the principle of self-reliance and hard work."

Xu Chaoyan muttered to herself, "Brother, I also want to be self-reliant, but I'm a little embarrassed and can't bring myself to ask for your help."

"What are you still doing here? You used to like being a door god, now you want to be the earth god, is that it?"

After saying that, she turned and left. Meng Jiu didn't want to see this woman for even a moment longer. Being with her made him feel like the air itself was murky.

Seeing the man leave, Xu Chaoyan raised her hand to support herself on the ground and took care of the matter herself. With a "thud," the wooden basin made a sound, and she sat back down, falling hard to the ground again. The pain instantly spread throughout her body, especially in the tailbone area, where it burned with pain.

Meng Jiuhe happened to hear the sound and wondered what this woman was up to now. He turned around, intending to scold her, when he saw Xu Chaoyan sitting in the wooden tub. His lips twitched, and he couldn't suppress the urge to laugh for a long time. Just as he was about to burst out laughing...

A burst of laughter broke the silence: "Hahahaha, Trumpet Flower, you're absolutely hilarious! You're such a big person, and you can still sit in that wooden tub. Look at you, what's the difference between you and that turtle? The turtle crawls on the ground, but you're all upside down. Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter."

Xu Chaoyan hadn't considered this possibility before. Seeing Meng Jiuxia's smile, she realized that she did indeed resemble the tortoise prime minister from some travelogue she'd read before—clumsy and with a large shell.

Seeing the brother and sister looking on with amusement, with no intention of helping her, she endured the excruciating pain and tried to get up repeatedly but failed.

She rolled her eyes at the man not far away, and said with a hint of resentment, "Can't you come and help me? Are you planning to be branded as a jinx soon?"

Before Meng Jiuhe could speak, Meng Jiuxia rushed forward, forcefully pulling the wooden basin out of her hands while muttering, "What are you saying? My elder brother is going to take the imperial examinations and achieve fame. How can he be allowed to have a reputation for being a jinx to his wife? Aren't you perfectly fine here?"

Xu Chaoyan took a deep breath and sighed helplessly: "If you keep nagging, hurry up and help me pull this wooden basin out. I'm afraid I'm going to die at the young age of 26, and your brother will really be known as a wife-killer."
