Ugly girl only wants to farm

The two stood a short distance apart, neither uttering a sound. Zhang Yueniang couldn't seem to take a single step. Just as the two were locked in a stalemate...

Meng Mengjiuxia's voice suddenly came over: "Sister, what are you doing standing here? My sister-in-law said she wants to see you."

After saying that, she glanced at Qi Yu again: "Brother Qi, what are you doing here? Sister, hurry up, my sister-in-law is looking for you urgently."

As she spoke, she took Yue Niang's hand and ran towards their room. When they passed Qi Yu, Yue Niang quickly shoved the hot potato into his hands.

Qi Yu almost lost her grip on the peach, and then she heard a voice drifting from afar: "Mother said these peaches are very fresh, so you two should try them first."

After running a few steps, Yue Niang muttered, "Oh dear, Xia, why are you running so fast? I haven't brought the things for your family yet."

Meng Jiuxia: "Don't rush, your sister-in-law said she has something urgent to tell you, so come with me quickly. By the way, what are you and Brother Qi doing standing there? Your faces are as red as monkey bottoms. Especially Brother Qi, look at his ears, they're all red."

Although everyone in the courtyard knew about their marriage, Meng Jiuxia, being a straightforward young lady, didn't want to ask directly.

“In the past, the couples in the village who were getting married were never this shy and hesitant. They met openly and naturally. When they went up the mountain to gather firewood or to work in the fields, they were all lovey-dovey. Unlike you two, who look like you don’t even know each other.”

"Why am I blushing? I was just busy in the kitchen and got hot. You must be mistaken, you little kid."

Meng Jiuxia couldn't help but click her tongue a few times. "I'm just a kid, I could clearly see you were shy. Sister, you two are engaged now, why can't you be more open? Look at all those people in the village, either gathering firewood on the mountain or fishing in the river. Isn't that strange? Those people always like to go into the woods. Several times I've run into Xinghua and her childhood sweetheart, the two of them leaving me behind and going into those deep woods by themselves, only to come out an hour or two later with empty baskets. They even lied to me, saying they didn't find anything there. I saw them laughing so happily, they must have found something good and didn't want me to know."

After hearing what she said, Zhang Yueniang was at a loss for words. She quickly covered the woman's mouth with her hand, saying, "My little darling, please stop talking."

She looked at the young girl in front of her, who was not yet of marriageable age, and seemed hesitant to speak.

Their parents have been missing ever since. He should speak to Xu Meizi and tell the young girl not to associate with those women and listen to their nonsense. After a moment's thought, he said, "Xia, if those women joke with you in the future, don't listen to them, and don't associate with them. Those gossipy old women never say a kind word. Also, remember not to mention what you just told your older sister about going to the grove to find treasure to those people outside."

Meng Jiuxia looked at her with a puzzled expression: "But what I said is true. Xinghua has left me behind several times. So I stopped playing with her after that."

Seeing that she was becoming increasingly unable to explain herself, Zhang Yueniang grabbed her arm and pulled her away, saying, "Your sister-in-law must have something urgent to tell me. Go and play with my Yaya."

When Zhang Yueniang entered the room, Xu Chaoyan was folding the clothes she had washed that day, tidying them up one by one. She packed away all the clothes she didn't wear often into a bundle. Seeing Zhang Yueniang come in, she casually greeted her, "Sister, please make yourself at home. I'll come over as soon as I finish what I'm doing."

Zhang Yueniang moved a stool over and sat down next to her. After thinking for a moment, she spoke.

"I think Xia is not young anymore. There are some things you need to remind her of so she doesn't listen to those people outside talking nonsense."

Xu Chaoyan looked up at her, puzzled: "What did my sister-in-law say?"

Zhang Yueniang then recounted everything she had just said in detail.

Xu Chaoyan paused for a moment and nodded: "I will pay more attention to her age in the future. She is indeed not young anymore."

"By the way, what did you want to see me about?"

Xu Chaoyan slapped her forehead: "I almost forgot about that."

After saying that, he went to the cabinet and rummaged through it for a while. He found a piece of fabric at the bottom and put it in front of Zhang Yueniang: "Sister, don't be disgusted. This is the dowry my father gave me when I got married. Your marriage caught us off guard. You can keep this piece of fabric and make two sets of undergarments."

After refusing for a long time, Yue Niang said, "How can this be? That's your dowry, I can't accept it."

Xu Chaoyan stuffed it directly into her hand: "Sister, this is a token of my appreciation. The material feels very comfortable and is perfect for making an undergarment. Consider it a wedding gift from me to you."

After saying that, he suddenly leaned close to her ear and whispered something in her ear. Zhang Yueniang's face flushed red, and she jumped up and rushed outside.

"Sister, don't go! Remember to finish making your undergarments as soon as possible. I'm not good at needlework and can't help you much."

Zhang Yueniang hurriedly ran back to her room and slammed the door shut.

At that moment, her heart was pounding. Her face was burning hot. Xu Chaoyan's words were still echoing in her ears.

"This fabric is for you and your husband to make your undergarments. Since it's close to the skin, it should be comfortable to wear. This spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold. You must cherish it and enjoy it while you're young."

They said there was another gift inside the fabric, and told her to go back inside and see it.

Zhang Yueniang gently parted the fabric and saw the bright red, luscious eyes. Embarrassed, she quickly shoved them under the covers to hide. The sight of the mandarin ducks lying neck to neck made her face burn even hotter.

She made quite a commotion when she came back, slamming the door shut with a bang. Just then, Aunt Qi, who was outside, heard the noise and asked with some confusion, "Yu'er, what happened to Yue Niang? Did you say something wrong when you delivered the things? I saw her face turn bright red, and she slammed the door shut. You're a man, you should be more considerate of your wife and remember to be more tolerant."

Qi Yu smiled gently and said softly, "Mother, we haven't even exchanged more than a few words."

Seeing her son's hopeless appearance, Aunt Qi walked over and flicked him on the forehead with a look of disappointment: "You, a bookworm who only knows how to read books, it's your good fortune that you managed to get a wife."

As the couple lay in bed that night, Xu Chaoyan couldn't help but sigh, "Time flies so fast. I can't believe we're leaving so soon. My sister will have a home and someone to rely on now, and my aunt and uncle can rest easy."

Meng Jiuhe picked up a palm-leaf fan from the side and gently fanned her: "Wife, you go to sleep first, I'll fan you. It's getting hotter and hotter. Who can argue with that? I never thought they would be destined for each other. I never thought of it this way before."

The soft, warm fragrance emanated from Xu Chaoyan, who was right in front of him. Meng Jiu couldn't help but move closer and gently sniff. For a moment, his body reacted slightly.

He quickly slapped himself in the face and cursed himself for being worse than an animal. His wife was working so hard, and he was still thinking about that kind of thing; he was worse than a pig or a dog.

He finally managed to doze off when the sky began to lighten. He had been lying awake all night, staring at the top of the mosquito net, unable to fall asleep.

Xu Chaoyan's sleeping posture was already somewhat unrestrained; sometimes she would lie on top of him, sometimes on his lap, and what was worse, that time she lay directly on his genitals. He was so frightened that he didn't dare to move for a moment.

The next day, Aunt Qi pulled Xu Chaoyan aside with a happy expression: "I had someone calculate an auspicious day recently, which is May 12th. On that day, let's prepare two tables and invite a few families from the neighborhood over for a meal, what do you think?"

May 12th was indeed a bit rushed, but they simplified things by cutting out a lot of red tape.

Xu Chaoyan nodded: "Although the deadline is a bit tight, if we all work together, we can still get it done properly."

Aunt Qi took out some silver from her pocket and stuffed it over: "Little Meng's wife, please take Yue Niang to pick out a wedding dress. This old woman's taste isn't very good. You young people have better taste."

Xu Chaoyan did not refuse. She knew that if she refused, Aunt Qi would definitely turn against her. She obediently put the money in her pocket, thinking that if the money was not enough, she would add more.

When she went inside to find Zhang Yueniang, she saw her so engrossed in sewing a pair of shoes that she didn't even notice her coming in.

Xu Chaoyan walked up to her and let out a scream that startled Yue Niang so much that her hand trembled and she almost pricked the needle.

"You scared me to death! Why did you come at this hour?"

Xu Chaoyan's attention was only on her new shoes, and she teased, "Sister, you're feeling sorry for your husband. He's not even married yet, and he's already making shoes for others."

The moon maiden blushed instantly after being teased by her, and quickly stuffed the shoes at the bottom of the basket.

"What nonsense are you talking about? This is for Xuyang."

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Aunt Qi gave me some silver and asked me to take you out to pick out a wedding dress. Let's go now."

Zhang Yueniang frowned again and again: "How can I accept your money, Auntie? I have some savings, I'll just buy myself a couple of new outfits."

Xu Chaoyan grabbed her hand and led her outside, saying, "Don't refuse. If you turn down Auntie's kindness, she'll definitely be angry and unhappy."

After returning to her house, Aunt Qi came out a moment later and looked around. Seeing that the courtyard was quiet, she quietly left the courtyard and headed towards the pawnshop on the street.

She went from store to store, asking and comparing prices. By the time she finished visiting the third store, she was still somewhat dissatisfied. Those people, seeing that she was simply dressed and an old woman, tried to drive the price down to an extremely low level.

Since meeting the person he was looking for last time, Li Guangshuo has stayed in this county town, observing the situation there from time to time.

Just then, he and his servant came out of the teahouse and saw Granny Qi pacing back and forth outside the pawnshop.

He thought for a moment and then instructed the servant beside him, "Go and find out if you've run into any trouble."
