Ugly girl only wants to farm

Xu Chaoyan paused, and the butcher's wife's expression changed before she quickly asked, "There's no misunderstanding here, is there?"

The two were a few steps away from the house, the window of which was half-closed, and intermittent sobs could be heard from inside.

She was afraid that Lady Meng might start throwing a tantrum in the heat of the moment, so she quickly calmed her down. This widow was not a well-behaved person; she had really caused a lot of trouble.

The commotion outside was so loud that Meng Xiuzhi and the others heard it inside. They deliberately lingered inside and didn't come out. They had heard the banging on the door long ago, but they just pretended not to hear it.

Meng Jiuhe was a little drunk just now, so she made a bowl of hangover soup and sent it over. She was looking for an opportunity for her daughter. If she could force the issue, that would be the best outcome, and she would be forced to ask for a divorce.

The butcher's wife had a loud voice, and Meng Xiuzhi heard what she was saying in the yard. It seemed a bit too deliberate for them not to come out, so they finally came out reluctantly.

When Meng Xiuzhi saw Xu Chaoyan, she pretended to be surprised: "Why did you come here? I was just having a casual meal with your man, and you're making a big deal out of it and even coming to our door. Jiuhe was taken care of by the Zhang family when she was little. We still have that much gratitude. It's just a casual meal, but you didn't care about that and chased after me. When will you ever change your jealous nature?"

Xu Chaoyan was very calm at the moment. She had just caught a glimpse of a woman's frail figure through the half-open window, and heard the faint sound of crying amidst the aroma of tea.

She naturally believed there must be some misunderstanding with Meng Jiuhe. However, the window was only half-open, and she could only see a figure from behind. She took a deep breath, not wanting to get entangled with Meng Xiuzhi any further.

“Aunt, what are you saying? My husband specifically instructed me beforehand that the Zhang family couple had treated him very well since he was a child, and they wanted to invite people to their home. I was busy today and couldn't leave, so I asked him to go ahead and invite them. I arrived later, so how did it come to your mouth? That I'm jealous by nature.”

Meng Xiuzhi glanced at her, looking disdainful: "Your silver tongue is clearly driven mad by jealousy, yet you still dare to argue with me here."

The butcher's wife finally felt relieved. Seeing that Meng's wife was so calm and didn't make a scene, she realized that she had just seen a figure and heard crying. She wondered to herself if Meng Xiucai had really done something wrong.

"Where is my aunt's husband? I just had my sister prepare a feast, so please come over for a simple meal." After saying that, she began to look around.

Meng Xiuzhi and Zhang's mother exchanged glances and glanced at the house, wondering to themselves whether it had gone well or not.

Zhang's mother was thinking that regardless of whether it succeeded or not, the blame would fall on him. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that couldn't be sought again.

Meng Xiuzhi muttered to herself, her lover had told her that the medicine was very potent, and only a little bit was needed. Just now, Zhang's mother's hand trembled and a little too much of the hangover soup went in. She wondered if it would affect her nephew.

This person is going to take the imperial examination in the future, and she is counting on her nephew to live a good life. She mustn't ruin her health.

At this point, she felt some resentment towards her lover, who only told her at the last minute that the drug was very potent and that it had been difficult to obtain.

Finally, after much questioning, the man stammered and finally revealed that it was added to livestock during mating to prevent them from being unwilling.

When she heard this, she was so angry that she wanted to punch the person. However, after arriving at the Zhang family's courtyard and speaking with Zhang's mother, she hesitated. Today was a rare opportunity, and finally, at Zhang's mother's urging, she took out the medicine packet.

Meng Jiuhe was already very resistant to Zhang Qiao'er's approach. She had just brought over the hangover soup and told people to drink it while it was hot, but it was actually not a hangover soup at all, just some plain water.

Meng Xiuzhi and Zhang's mother were still plotting how to expose this matter. They hadn't planned to go this far with Zhang Qiao'er when Xu Chaoyan caught them off guard. They had originally planned to lure someone over so that they would deliberately witness this scene, but by sheer coincidence, the person walked right into their path, disrupting their original plan. They wondered if Zhang Qiao'er had succeeded.

The butcher's wife stood aside and tried to smooth things over. They couldn't cause too much trouble on someone else's turf. As long as Scholar Meng didn't do anything outrageous, she'd turn a blind eye to avoid tarnishing his reputation and hindering his future studies. The young couple could discuss things privately behind closed doors.

“That Meng family lady, hurry inside and find your husband. Has he been drinking too much? I’ll go with you and take him back. My sister-in-law may not have any skills, but she’s honed her strength by carrying pork.”

Zhang's mother was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. She had clearly heard her daughter crying just now, but why was there no sound at all? She didn't dare to act rashly because this was different from what they had discussed earlier.

Xu Chaoyan barged in, disrupting the original plan, and she didn't dare not show herself. Just as she was getting anxious, Zhang's father staggered out of the house, kicked open his daughter's door with a "bang," let out a long hiccup, and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Didn't Meng Jiu and that brat say they'd drink with me? Where did he go?"

Zhang's mother quickly ran over, pulling at him while complaining.

"If you can't drink horse piss, then don't drink it. Don't make a racket after a few cups and let the neighbors know you're acting crazy. It'll make you a laughingstock."

Although she was speaking to Zhang's father, she took advantage of a moment when no one was looking and began to pinch and twist him.

Zhang's father grimaced in pain, his body twitching involuntarily. He also downed the entire jug of wine he had just brought back.

The old woman pinched him so hard that his eyes cleared a little, and he squinted, hiccuping as he looked into the house. Suddenly, he was furious.

“Meng Jiu, you beast, I kindly invited you to my home for dinner, and you actually ate in my daughter’s room. You even ate in someone’s bed! You dog, what exactly are you trying to do? You’re not leaving here until you give me an explanation for what happened today.”

Zhang's mother suddenly shouted, "You surnamed Meng, I'm not finished with you!"

Xu Chaoyan stood there, watching Zhang's mother's exaggerated acting, and almost wanted to applaud. They were standing so close, yet they only started yelling now—so these people were waiting for her here?

It seems that if she didn't cooperate with these people's performance, it would be a disservice to their show today.

She ran into the house with an incredulous look on her face, and to make it seem more realistic to the people, she deliberately stumbled and almost fell.

He knew Meng Jiu's character well and trusted he wouldn't do anything reckless. No matter what, he wouldn't be interested in this green tea bitch. But when she saw the situation inside the room, her body involuntarily trembled.

She had initially thought she was quite calm, and that she wouldn't react this way to this scene. She still trusted Meng Jiuhe. The result was that Meng Jiuhe's outer robe had been removed, leaving him only in a thin undergarment. Zhang Qiao'er was practically naked. One lay on the bed, the other sat at the foot of the bed, sobbing.

Logically speaking, with all the noise they were making outside, Meng Jiu should have woken up by now. But she was still lying there without any reaction, which made her suspicious again. Could this person have been drugged?

Everyone else was plotting against him, yet he was still in the mood to doze off. Seeing Zhang Qiao'er's aggrieved look, and how she cried even harder after seeing her, he became extremely irritated.

"I'm sorry, I really couldn't stop him. Brother Meng insisted on dragging me into the house to talk things out." The rest of her words were inaudible; she was just crying.

Zhang's mother, still looking heartbroken, went over and hugged her daughter tightly.

"Heaven have mercy on my daughter, it's all my fault for letting the wolf into the house and causing you to suffer. Today he must give me an explanation. Otherwise, I'll go to the county school and make a scene, so he won't be able to go to school."

Xu Chaoyan stood there silently watching their performance, while Meng Jiuhe remained in a drowsy state.

She was also a little angry. This man was really something; he had no sense of caution at all when he was out in the world. He was tricked like this, and he was still sleeping soundly.

She casually picked up a bowl from the table and splashed it at Meng Jiuhe. Then, Meng Jiuhe slowly woke up, looking at her with somewhat guilty eyes.

"My wife, what are you doing here?"

"Where do you want me to be? Clean up your own mess. Meng Jiu, get up now, I want a divorce."
