Ugly girl only wants to farm

Li Guangshuo rubbed his eyes and called to Li Si beside him, "Come and take a look. Doesn't the groom's eyebrows look somewhat similar to Wan Yu's? And that high nose bridge. But I have a feeling that something is familiar about him."

Li Si nodded in agreement, "What the master is right, the groom does look somewhat like his mother."

Then he began to mutter to himself, "If Wanyu had stayed by my side back then, our child would probably be this age by now."

Hearing him speak with a melancholy expression, Li Si couldn't help but sigh: "If Wan Yu had stayed back then, her child with the master would probably be this age by now."

Suddenly thinking of his troublesome son at home, and then looking at the handsome groom before him, he felt a stark contrast. He himself had once been a learned man, while his son was a troublemaker who caused him endless headaches. Li Guangshuo was filled with mixed emotions.

The wedding procession made a lot of noise as it walked towards their courtyard.

Aunt Qi was wearing clothes she only wore on holidays and festivals. The clothes were neatly ironed without a single wrinkle, and her hair was combed meticulously. It was simply tied up with a wooden hairpin.

Aunt Qi, holding a basket and beaming with joy, grabbed a handful of candy and handed it to her friendly neighbor: "Hurry in and sit down, the feast will begin soon."

Suddenly, her eyes caught sight of a familiar figure at the alley entrance. Her heart skipped a beat as she thought: What's that person doing here? She hadn't seen him since refusing his help last time.

She suddenly glanced nervously at her son, hoping he was blind and hadn't seen it.

Li Si, carrying the heavy box, waited until everyone had walked away before speaking up to remind them, "Master, everyone's gone. Shouldn't we go up and ask for a cup of wedding wine?"

Li Guangshuo hummed in agreement, straightened his sleeves, and adjusted his clothes. Then he turned to him and asked, "Li Si, do you think I have a lot of gray hair? Why don't you pluck a few out for me? Wouldn't that make me look much older?"

Li Si held the heavy wedding gifts, his hands trembling several times. He looked embarrassed and said, "Master, if we don't leave now, we won't even get to enjoy the wedding feast. Didn't you see those women running faster than rabbits? The feast is about to start."

Li Guangshuo smoothed his hair and tugged at his sleeves before walking contentedly toward the other courtyard.

Aunt Qi stood at the gate of the courtyard and saw the person at the alley entrance approaching her.

Her expression changed as well. There were people coming and going in the courtyard, and she didn't want to make things too ugly, so she stuffed the basket into Meng Jiuxia's hands: "Miss Xia, could you please fill some candy for me? I'll wait and see if anyone else comes."

Meng Jiuxia didn't notice anything unusual about her and ran into the house to get the candy.

As the people drew closer, Aunt Qi strode over and blocked them from entering.

Li Si congratulated her and said many auspicious words, then handed her the gift. As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face, so she didn't get angry at Li Si, but simply responded calmly.

Li Guangshuo looked at her dark face. He was a little uneasy, but he still forced himself to speak.

"Wanyu, since we've known each other for a while, I should at least come over to celebrate your son's wedding and ask for a drink. I hope you won't mind. I've prepared a small gift."

After saying that, he coughed twice loudly, and seeing that Li Si was still standing there without moving, he kicked him and glared at him.

"How can you be so clueless? You've been serving the master for decades. You're not smart at all. I don't know why anyone chose you to stay by his side in the first place!"

Li Si respectfully handed over the congratulatory gifts.

Aunt Qi didn't even look at the pile of congratulatory gifts, but coldly addressed him.

"Since the blessings have been delivered to you, I will not keep you here for long. I fear that the simple food in the countryside would be an eyesore for you and make your stomachs uncomfortable."

Li Guangshuo was so anxious that he couldn't get a word in edgewise. He finally managed to speak up: "No, no, this simple meal is the most heartwarming thing. We don't mind. We're just here to share in the joy and have a drink at the wedding."

He then personally presented the gift to her, saying, "Wanyu, I know you're still angry with me, but today is your son's big day. These are all carefully selected and specially prepared for you."

Aunt Qi gave a sarcastic smile: "Things for nobles are beyond the reach of us lowly people. Save them for your wife's wedding."

Then, as if remembering something, he said, "I suppose your son is already married. We can save it for when the master takes a concubine or after his death."

Li Guangshuo was speechless for a long time after being choked by her words.

Hearing the lively sounds coming from inside, he was quite excited and wanted to stay a little longer. He shamelessly pointed into the courtyard and asked again, "May I come in and have a drink of wedding wine to share in the joy?"

Aunt Qi pointed to the alley entrance: "You are not welcome here. Please don't disturb my peaceful life anymore. Haven't you made me suffer enough? What do you want from me? Aren't you satisfied with my current wretched state?"

Seeing him roar at him, Li Guangshuo felt uneasy, ever since that incident.

He had always believed that Wan Yu had been gone for twenty years. Until one of the old servants who had dealt with him spoke to him on his deathbed, he regained some hope, but his inquiries were ultimately fruitless.

Having finally found her, how could I bear to let her go? I just want to make up for the regrets of that year as much as possible.

He blamed himself for being too cowardly in the past. His wife's family was powerful, and he had to depend on them for survival. There were some things he could only turn a blind eye to. When Wanyu suffered grievances, he could only tell her to swallow them silently. Who knew that they would become even more outrageous?

"Get out! Get out!"

As she spoke, Aunt Qi pushed the boxes that Li Si was pushing outside, and they all fell to the ground with a clatter.

Aunt Qi didn't care about anything else, picked it up and threw it at them casually.

"Get the rest of your trash as far away as possible. I never want to see you again. Can't you, you cowardly and selfish wretch, just leave my peaceful life alone? Can't you just leave me alone? If your wife finds out you're here, she'll definitely kill my son and me. I beg you, Li Guangshuo, I just want to live a normal life. My son and I have depended on each other for so many years. I don't want your presence to disrupt this hard-won peace. Now that my son is married, I just want to enjoy my family life in peace."

Li Guangshuo was stunned to see her yelling at him irrationally, acting like a shrew. How could Wan Yu be like this? Back then, she was so gentle and considerate. No matter how tired or bitter he was outside, as long as he drank the soup she personally cooked, all his fatigue would be swept away.

Now she looked like a shrew from the marketplace. He was so stunned that he didn't even feel the pain when the box brushed against his forehead.

"Aunt Qi, what's wrong? Everyone inside is waiting for you."

Xu Chaoyan happened to come out and saw her yelling and cursing at people. She was startled and panicked. She grabbed a piece of firewood from the side and ran over.

Should we write a short play about Aunt Qi's story?
