Ugly girl only wants to farm

The woman insisted that she had made a verbal agreement with Li San Niang that day.

The village chief arrived late, and after getting a general understanding of the situation, he, an elderly man with shrewd eyes, looked around, stroked his beard, and finally made his decision.

“I understand the matter. Meng family, you are indeed being somewhat unkind. Although Sister-in-law He’s son is a bit dim-witted, you shouldn’t bully her just because you have a scholar in your family. Look at the state you’ve left her in. Either you pay compensation or you marry off your daughter.”

They were related to the He family by marriage, so naturally they would favor them more.

Li San Niang and her husband argued heatedly, but no one was willing to say a word for them. They thought that the Meng family had only moved to this village from the previous generation, and yet they were being kicked while they were down, which led to their current predicament.

Isn't it just jealousy that they raised such a good son? They've written so many couplets for them during the Spring Festival, it's utterly ungrateful.

At this moment, several burly men came over to take Meng Jiuxia away. Xu Chaoyan saw that the situation was not right, picked up a stick and knocked their hands away, angrily shouting: "What do you want to do? You want to abduct a woman in broad daylight? It's just money, right? I'll give it to you. You just wait."

After saying that, she ran back into the house with a thud. Everyone looked at each other, bewildered.

When she took out the silver from the house, she felt a little pain in her heart, but when she thought about how that pretty young girl was going to become that fool's wife, she still felt a little reluctant.

Although this little girl has a sharp tongue, she is not a bad person at heart. These past few days, I have been making clothes with her in the house. Although I dislike her a lot, I am still very patient in teaching her needlework.

Well, money is just an external thing. It's good to do a good deed. Consider it as accumulating some merit for yourself. When she handed over the silver, the greedy look in He Jia's eyes could not be concealed.

Aunt Meng and Peach Blossom watched longingly as the five taels of silver were given to that family, feeling quite unhappy.

Li San Niang was so moved that she couldn't speak. Xia Er usually mocked and ridiculed this woman, but she never expected that she would give her money to help her at this crucial moment.

She choked out, "Yan'er, thank you, thank you for saving Xia'er from jumping into the fire."

Xu Chaoyan smiled slightly: "It's alright, we're all family." In reality, she was heartbroken and her heart was bleeding.

"Alright, everyone, can you all go home now?"

Only then did everyone leave. Because of his momentary panic, Meng's father dragged his legs out, and now he was grimacing in pain. Several people worked together to carry him back into the house.

Only now did he take a good look at his wife. He knew that his master's daughter was very spoiled and always clung to his son, which he found somewhat distasteful. It would be a lie to say he wasn't moved that she helped him pay off the debt, but as a grown man, he simply couldn't bring himself to say thank you.

His family had absolutely no intention of coveting his daughter-in-law's dowry, so they never brought it up. He was still grateful that his daughter-in-law took the initiative to ask for the money back.

"Jiuhe did marry the right person."

Li San Niang glanced at her husband's expression and saw his unnatural look. She knew that he actually wanted to say thank you, but the words he said were not what they meant because of his pride.

She said softly, "Yan'er, go back and rest for a while. Your father can take care of himself here. He didn't mean any harm, he's just bad at talking, so don't mind him. We owe you a lot today, otherwise Xia'er's life would have been ruined."

Meng Jiuxia's feelings were also complicated at this moment. She was not very respectful to this sister-in-law on ordinary days, but she did not expect that she would be willing to take out money to help her in this critical moment.

She thought she was going to be taken away by the He family, but unexpectedly, Xu Chaoyan stepped forward. After the two left the house, the little girl followed behind her without saying a word.

When he arrived at her door, seeing that she was still following him, Xu Chao turned around and asked softly, "How long do you plan to keep following me like this?"

Meng Jiuxia twisted her clothes in circles and spoke somewhat awkwardly: "Morning Glory, I owe you a favor today. Don't think that just because you helped me today, you can use that to blackmail me."

After saying that, he ran away without looking back.

Xu Chaoyan watched her fleeing figure and laughed out loud. She didn't expect this little girl to thank her. Just like her father-in-law, she meant to say thank you, but the words she said came out were not what she expected. She didn't care too much about it. It turned out that spending money could bring such happiness.

Today happens to be the exam day at the school, and everyone is cramming at the last minute, leaving the desks in the schoolyard covered in scribbles.

"Brother, my dear brother, you have to tell me what the key points of this assessment are. I'm so anxious that my mind is completely blank."

Zhang Xuyang casually picked up a book and started reading absentmindedly. He was determined to get first place in this assessment and surpass Meng Jiuhe. He was always called second place, which made him very unhappy. When he saw this person approaching again, he felt a little displeased.

He slammed the book down on the table and said in an unfriendly tone, "What have you been doing all this time, when the teacher always tells you to read and review more? Now you're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? I'm not a mind reader."

The man smiled sheepishly and said ingratiatingly, "Isn't it because of your guidance on that article last time? I even received a couple of compliments from you, and when I got home, my father praised me for my progress and gave me some extra money to buy more books."

"Oh, by the way, my dear brother, I've found another book. I'll show it to you right now. Only someone as learned as you deserves to read it."

Zhang Xuyang originally wanted to refuse, but when he saw the book, he shamelessly accepted it.

A moment later, he picked up a book from his desk and handed it over: "I'm just guessing that the teacher will probably test you on these topics. You should think about it yourself."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Meng Jiu not far away and saw that he was still reading some miscellaneous books. He was disdainful. This time he had made full preparations and he was determined to get an A grade in the assessment. He carefully put the book that the person had lent him into his book bag.

Qi Tianci scratched his head and ears. He hadn't finished the article; it was a mess and he was severely criticized by his teacher, who eventually complained to his father.

To punish him, his father reduced his allowance, intending to prevent him from studying diligently. He then planned to pass the family business on to his younger brother, who was born to a concubine and was much smarter than him.

He then blamed Zhang Xuyang for this. In order to teach Zhang Xuyang a lesson, he told the restaurant's purchasing department to stop delivering his family's tofu. For the next few days, the Zhang family elders' tofu was not selling well, and they were worried all day long.

Zhang Xuyang glanced absentmindedly at the book in his hand, but finally lowered his noble head. He then picked up another book and marked it up. When no one was paying attention, he handed the book to Qi Tianci: "These are some things I marked up. They are knowledge that the teacher might test. Why don't you take a look at them while you have time?"

Qi Tianci snorted coldly: "Oh, so it's you. Didn't you used to look down on people like us? The sun must have risen in the west."
