Ugly girl only wants to farm

Xu Chaoyan underestimated their strength. Although they outnumbered the enemy, the butcher, a burly man, easily swept them away. Yueniang, in a fit of anger, had brandished her stick at the snake, and by the time the snake realized what was happening, she was the one who suffered.

Yue Niang usually only did simple chores at home, how could she compare to this shrew? In no time, Xu Chaoyan and Yue Niang were at a disadvantage. They kept protecting the old lady for fear of hurting her, after all, she was old and had some minor illnesses.

Looking at the arrogant snake, she wished she could slap her away and hang her on the wall. This woman was simply despicable.

At this moment, Zhang Yueniang's hair was disheveled, her clothes were torn and wrinkled, and there were tear stains on her face.

Xu Chaoyan was in no better shape; her hair had been pulled loose and her veil had been torn off.

The snake-like woman, seeing her like that, gave her a mocking smile: "I say, you ugly woman, with your appearance, how dare you show your face in public? If I were you, I would have hidden in my house long ago. It's a wonder you have such a handsome husband. I think you're the one throwing yourself at him; he probably doesn't even look at you. Tsk tsk tsk, look at your pockmarked face, yet you're quite hot-tempered, exuding a slutty aura?"

After saying that, she covered her mouth and started laughing.

Before Xu Chaoyan could speak, Meng Jiuxia grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it at the snake: "You old hag, what makes you say that my brother and sister-in-law have a good relationship? You don't need to question it."

The snake twisted its body to avoid her: "Oh, oh, oh, you're already defending yourself after only a few words. I say, young lady, instead of wasting your time fighting with me here, you should go back and coax your husband to sleep with you. Look at your face, so slutty, you can't even show your face to anyone. I heard your husband is a scholar, I don't know if he's gone mad from reading too much or blind, to fall for a plain woman like you. Judging from your fiery temper, I bet even your husband finds you disgusting and can't bring himself to touch you."

"Xia'er, quickly take Ya Ya to the side. Don't listen to her nonsense here. Go over there, cover your ears, and stay away from us."

The younger sister-in-law, still a young woman waiting to be married, couldn't bear to hear such vulgar language, especially since Ya Ya was looking at them with innocent, bewildered eyes.

Xu Chaoyan's anger flared even more, wishing she could slap the old hag across the face. Actually, his face was much better than before, but there were still some marks, and it was also the beginning of spring, so he was experiencing some seasonal allergies.

Her complexion did look much worse than before, and coupled with her busy schedule lately, she really hadn't paid attention to this aspect. She did have seasonal allergies before, but never this severe.

She had brought a veil with her when she went out for a spring outing today, just in case she couldn't help but sneeze. Now that she had been insulted like this by the flower snake, she just couldn't swallow the anger in her heart.

"Oh, Auntie, no wonder your skin is as smooth as a young girl's. You must be well-nourished. You're living a very fulfilling life. But I heard you've been a widow for many years. I wonder whose help you have such a healthy complexion?"

The snake, now standing and panting, had initially felt secretly pleased when Xu Chaoyan complimented her complexion. She wore a smug expression and said, "I'm naturally beautiful. Even before I got married, my complexion was as fair as peach blossoms in March. How could you compare?"

When she realized the second half of the sentence, she froze, remaining silent for a long time. Finally, she deliberately changed the subject: "Don't try to change the subject. We've already made a scene today, and you've even torn my new clothes. You have to compensate me."

Seeing her shameless behavior, the old woman spat at her again.

"You old hag, don't think no one knows about your little affair. Who are you trying to seduce by dressing up all day long? You just came out of the back door of the carpenter in Sweetwater Alley a few days ago, didn't you? Don't think you're so secretive. If you piss me off, I'll make sure you can't stand in this area."

The snake was speechless, choked by her words. She thought no one knew about her messy affairs. Besides, the carpenter's house in Sweetwater Lane was already somewhat remote, and few people went to the back door of the carpenter's house.

She remained a widow for many years, raising her children alone. The hardships she endured are unimaginable; her ability to support her family as a widow certainly drew criticism. Yet, she persevered, raising her children to adulthood and even finding a wife for them.

The carpenter and she were quite close. If the carpenter's shrewish wife found out that they were having an affair, she would skin her alive. It's also because that old lecherous carpenter always liked to stare at her plump waist.

Over time, the two naturally became a couple. The carpenter promised to make her a coffin for free and would occasionally help with household chores. The son and daughter-in-law noticed this but didn't say anything.

Her son has been somewhat weak since childhood and cannot do much physical labor. This carpenter is just one of his lovers. Besides, a coffin is not cheap, so it would be good for him to get one for free to lighten his son's burden.

Upon hearing this, Xu Chaoyan became interested and looked at her with a gossipy expression: "Auntie, I didn't expect you to be so cunning. You even took a fancy to that carpenter from Sweetwater Lane. His face is even scarier than mine. You really have to admire your cunning! Auntie, you look like you want to say something but are hesitant. Do you have some more exciting news? Why don't you tell me? I don't have any other hobbies. I just like to listen to gossip."

What started as a group of people arguing and fighting turned into gossip.

Butcher Hei looked at her with great interest: "Aunt Cai, I didn't expect you to be so much more playful than my nephew at your age. No wonder you complained when I suggested introducing you to the widower in the village, saying he was a peasant and couldn't earn much money. It turns out you have lovers in all walks of life. Why didn't you say so earlier? My mother had to go and talk to you for a long time, only to get nothing in return. I just don't know if you know anyone at the paper shop. The one who came to me in a dream said his house was leaking. Maybe I could get a set for my nephew for free."

The flower snake slapped Butcher Black on the head with a "smack".

"You little rascal, how dare you joke about your aunt? You believe everything they say. This is clearly an attempt to sow discord. Can't you use your brain? With your strong limbs and simple mind, you'll never get a wife in this lifetime. You can just keep sleeping with that fat pig."

The old lady was so angry that she started fighting with someone. If she had known to expose these shameful things, she would have obediently surrendered and wasted half a day's energy. It's also her fault for losing her temper just now.

“Meng family daughter-in-law, do you really want to hear it? I’ll tell you. I could talk about it for three days and three nights and still not finish. It’s about the oil seller’s family in Cat Alley.”

The snake's expression visibly changed, and she quickly stepped forward, looking pitiful and tearful.

"Zhang family, can't you be a little more considerate? We're all neighbors, can't you give me some face? We were wrong about what happened today, and we're here to apologize to you. We're all mothers, and every family has its own troubles. You know my family's situation, and I beg you to be kind with your words about my affair with that carpenter. It hasn't been easy for me, a widow raising a child all these years."

As she spoke, she began to sob.

Xu Chaoyan clicked her tongue a few times, surprised that this snake had some tricks up its sleeve. Knowing that force wouldn't work, she tried a softer approach, but that didn't work.

"Auntie, if you're going to cry, at least cry properly. Don't think we won't see just because you put some saliva in your mouth and wiped it on. Please put more effort into your acting next time. We should handle this matter properly today."

Seeing that Xu Chaoyan wouldn't budge and still acted aggressively, the snake darted around for a while and then winked at the butcher: "Nephew, since that's how it is, then apologize and compensate with silver. A wise man doesn't suffer a loss in front of him."

The butcher looked like he'd just eaten shit: "Impossible, I absolutely will not give him this money."

The snake pretended to persuade the butcher to pay her compensation, but in reality, she seized the opportunity and ran away. By the time everyone reacted, she was already far away. The butcher, Hei, saw his aunt run away and his eyes widened like copper bells. He couldn't react for a long time.

Then he yelled at her running figure: "Aunt Cai, you are so dishonest! You have no martial ethics at all and just abandoned your nephew and ran away."

Seeing that Xu Chaoyan and the others were about to catch up, he quickly took off running.

With tears welling in her eyes, Yue Niang's voice weakened: "Mother, let's just let this matter go. They've run away, so be it."

Xu Chaoyan: "This matter can't be left like this. I'll go catch up with them and give them a few whacks, and I'll understand." Before she could catch up, a deafening howl of wolves came from ahead.

When the women got closer, they discovered that the snake had fallen into the ditch below, its head bleeding profusely, and it was unconscious.

Butcher Hei stood to the side looking completely helpless, his foot tentatively reaching into the ditch several times before he dared not.

Seeing his hesitant look, Xu Chaoyan really wanted to kick him down. If someone really died today, they wouldn't have it easy either.

"What are you doing, a grown man, dawdling like this? If you don't go down soon, your Aunt Cai will turn into a steamed bun."

The cauliflower snake suddenly groaned weakly from below: "Nephew, nephew, hurry and take me to the clinic, I'm so dizzy and lightheaded, hurry up." After groaning, it wiped its face.

"Ah, blood."
