Ugly girl only wants to farm

After Meng Jiuhe lay down again, he breathed a long sigh of relief. His wife's sleeping posture was indeed a bit terrible. Just when he finally managed to close his eyes and feel a little sleepy, Xu Chaoyan rolled over and put all her legs on him again.

Xu Chaoyan slept soundly and felt refreshed. She got up early and made some sweet soup to take with her. They would buy some snacks later. In an era of scarcity, it was so difficult to eat fresh fruit. She suddenly missed eating tangerines and strawberries at this time of year, which was just so refreshing.

Meng Jiuhe pushed open the door and came in, yawning as he walked. Xu Chaoyan saw that he looked like he hadn't slept well and asked with some doubt, "Didn't you sleep well last night? Look at the obvious dark circles under your eyes. When we go out later, people will think you stayed up all night having fun."

After saying that, she quickly moved away. Meng Jiu and this man were usually very serious, but if you said a few flirty words to him, his ears would turn red. At night, they would be inseparable for half the night without getting tired. Xu Chaoyan had cursed him as a beast several times behind his back.

Meng Jiuhe took the chicken she handed him and sat down on a small stool in the kitchen, her tone somewhat resentful: "Don't you know why I'm like this? You slept so soundly yesterday, keeping me up half the night."

Xu Chaoyan thought he was complaining about her rejection of him last night, so she gave him a flattering smile: "Didn't I say I was going to go on a spring outing with Ya Ya and the others? I was a little tired yesterday, so I wasn't very interested in that kind of thing. Can you please be understanding this time? Besides, you should also take care of yourself."

Meng Jiuhe's face slowly darkened, and he gritted his teeth as he said, "Xu Chaoyan, who are you calling unwell? Wasn't my performance good enough last night?"

Xu Chaoyan felt like she had run into a tiger, and chuckled a few times: "I misspoke, that's not what I meant, you misunderstood."

Meng Jiuhe was a little angry and banged the chicken on his head. He quickly peeled it open and was about to take his anger out on it when Xu Chaoyan grabbed his wrist: "Wait a minute."

"Didn't you complain about my poor health? I'll nourish myself to make you feel better, so you won't complain anymore."

Xu Chaoyan chuckled and squeezed onto a stool with him. Before he could react, she quickly planted a kiss on his cheek: "The chicken isn't for you to eat. You've been working hard studying these days. I was planning to give you some medicine to treat the dark circles under your eyes."

Meng Jiu was pleased by her kiss. His face was still dark, but the corners of his mouth curved up a little, and his tone of voice softened involuntarily.

"Where did you hear about this method? Using chicken eggs as eye compresses is just nonsense. Isn't that a waste? The shell is already peeled, so why don't you eat it?" He said, and then directly put it to her lips.

Xu Chaoyan was somewhat resistant to eating boiled eggs, which she had disliked since childhood. In order to lose weight, she forced herself to eat boiled eggs for several days until her eyes started to sparkle.

She smiled and took the medicine from his hand, applying it directly to his bruises: "I forgot where I heard about this remedy, but will you make do with it? You don't want people to laugh at you with these dark circles under your eyes."

She suddenly had a mental block. She wondered if rolling her eyes a few times would get rid of the dark circles under her eyes, but she didn't stop what she was doing.

"Shall we give it a try?"

Seeing her serious expression, Meng Jiuhe didn't say anything more. He simply picked her up and placed her on his lap, saying, "The stool is a bit cramped. It'll be easier for me to carry you around."

Xu Chaoyan chuckled and said, "Fine, fine, I'll just get lost then. May all the bad luck go away."

"Sister-in-law, is breakfast ready yet? I could hear Yaya talking from far away. She's probably too excited. Auntie just said she woke up around 3 AM and has been chattering away, looking towards the gate of the courtyard several times."

"Ouch, my back!"

Meng Jiuxia suddenly pushed the door open and entered, causing Xu Chaoyan to be thrown to the ground by her handsome husband.

Meng Jiuhe quickly realized what was happening and went to help her up. He looked at her with a guilty expression, and his voice weakened as he asked, "Wife, are you alright?"

Xu Chaoyan was somewhat annoyed: "Try it and you'll see if anything happens."

Meng Jiuxia was so startled by the sudden situation that she froze and rushed over in a panic: "Big brother, did you two have a fight? How could you treat your sister-in-law like this? Where did you learn your Confucian classics?"

Meng Jiuhe blushed. He had just been startled by his younger sister's sudden shout. He had originally wanted to help her sit up, but who would have thought she would be more trouble than she was worth. It was only right that he got a few words from her now.

Xu Chaoyan and her friends hired a donkey cart to go to the outskirts of the city, which would also allow them to enjoy the scenery along the way. Just as they stepped out of the courtyard, Aunt Cai Hua from the alley next door came over with a smile and greeted them.

"Where are you from the Zhang family? Who is this girl? She looks like a flower, so pretty and lovely." After saying that, he scrutinized Meng Jiuxia and looked her up and down.

Upon hearing her words, Meng Jiuxia quickly hid behind her sister-in-law and muttered under her breath, "What is this person doing here so early in the morning? His smile is uglier than his crying face. His beady eyes are still closed, and he twists his waist like a giant python."

Xu Chaoyan was amused by her words and pulled the girl back a little further, shielding her with her whole body. She muttered to herself, "It's not a python at all, it's clearly a rat snake. Why do you usually have a lot of contact with it? Does this person annoy you?"

Meng Jiuxia: "That's not quite right. It's just that she's a very gossipy person, like a sparrow. She's also greedy for small gains and often says things that people don't like to hear, so I've come to dislike her. I've run into her a few times before, and I've seen her from afar once."

The old woman frowned, wondering why this person hadn't left yet and what she was up to. Then she picked Yaya up and put her on the donkey cart, and replied to her in a very distant manner, "Oh, it's Cai Hua. We weren't planning on going anywhere, just going outside to look at the flowers and plants to relax. It's not good for a child to stay cooped up in the house all day."

At this moment, Cai Hua swayed her waist like a barrel and walked over, almost flinging the handkerchief in her hand: "I say, Yue Niang, you should go out and walk around more. You spend all day tending that stall and you look like a haggard old woman. If you have nothing to do, you should take good care of yourself. You're so young, don't dress like an old woman all day. By the way, Zhang family, I happen to be going to visit relatives outside the city. Can you give me a ride if you hire a donkey cart?"

The old woman knew that she couldn't have come here for anything good. She glanced at the somewhat crowded donkey cart and quickly refused, saying, "Cai Hua, I'm so sorry, this cart is a bit small to begin with."

Before she could finish refusing them, Cai Hua's wife plopped down on the donkey cart, taking up most of the space, and waved to them with a smile: "Hey, hurry up and get on, don't be late. The sun will be so bright and hot that you'll feel dizzy. What's the point of going for a spring outing then? I know the area outside the city very well. I know all the beautiful peach, apricot, and pear blossoms. Or I can show you the way."

The old woman's expression suddenly changed. How could this person not understand human language? The whole family was just about enough to fit in the donkey cart, but she had taken up more than half of the space. Besides, they had hired the donkey cart, so why was she being so domineering?

Just as the old woman was about to argue with her with a dark expression, Zhang Yueniang stopped her: "Mother, let it go. We're all neighbors and we'll see each other often, so let's not make things too awkward. We can just squeeze in."

Xu Chaoyan also came over and offered a few words of advice: "Auntie, let's just squeeze in. This donkey cart is going to be a shaky ride all the way to the outskirts of the city anyway, so let's just squeeze in."

Along the way, everyone huddled together. Aunt Caihua kept praising Yue Niang and Meng Jiuxia, her mouth never stopping. The others secretly frowned several times.

After being harassed by her, Meng Jiuxia simply covered her face with a handkerchief and dozed off. Zhang Yueniang only responded to her occasionally, and sometimes her words were perfunctory.

Cai Hua, seemingly oblivious to the others' expressions, kept making small talk, and it wasn't until they finally reached the outskirts of the city.

"Zhang family, could you give me some water? I'm so thirsty on the way here. The pickled vegetables I had this morning were a bit too strong."

Before her mother could start scolding her, Zhang Yueniang slipped a bamboo tube over: "Will this be enough?"

Cai Hua looked disgusted at the icy cold water, her eyes fixed on their food box, holding the bamboo tube but refusing to drink: "Yue Niang is so sensible. Such a well-behaved girl deserves a good home. Don't give up on yourself. Good people are rewarded, and fate is predetermined."

Zhang Yueniang could only listen to her incessant rambling without daring to lash out. Xu Chaoyan pretended to bump into her by accident: "I'm so sorry, Auntie. Are you alright? Are your clothes okay? Maybe you should wipe them off."

Cai Hua immediately started jumping up and down: "Oh my, you little brat, you really have no eyes! How can you be so reckless? Be careful in the future." She said the last sentence through gritted teeth.
