Ugly girl only wants to farm

After sending Meng Jiuhe back to the house, Li Sanniang looked apologetic and said, "Yan'er, I'm really useless. Your grandmother found the box of things you left in our room."

Her words were somewhat tactful, but Xu Chaoyan didn't mind and gently comforted her, "Mother, it's alright. We'll just take it back since we found it. Anyway, those things aren't worth much money."

Those clothes were all in rather plain colors, and she guessed that her grandmother and the others wouldn't like them. Country folk are so easily swayed; they all prefer bright colors. She was still relieved that she guessed they wouldn't like them.

"Yan'er, I'm so sorry, I've messed up the task you entrusted to me." After saying that, she covered her face and wept.

"Mother, we can just pick them up and wash them again."

With a sob in her voice, Li San Niang blurted out, "A few days ago, your aunt went back to her parents' home and I don't know what she said to your mother-in-law. As a result, a few days later, while I wasn't home, your grandmother took all the boxes away. Your father tried to stop her by dragging his injured leg out of bed, and he fell down."

Xu Chaoyan was stunned, never expecting her grandmother to be so shameless.

"Mother, how is Father? Has he been examined by a doctor? Those things are just material possessions; if not, let's just consider them as gifts to buy medicine for those people."

She's worried about her father-in-law's leg now. The little one has just started to look better, and now the old one is injured again. How can this family possibly survive?

Li San Niang wiped away her tears. Seeing that her daughter-in-law didn't blame her and kept comforting her, she felt even more distressed: "Your father isn't in too much trouble. The villagers have seen him and said he can recover slowly. His leg can't take any more strain. It will probably affect his walking a little in the future."

Xu Chaoyan hurriedly pulled her back, saying, "Let's hurry and go to town before the car goes too far. The village herb-gathering uncle knows how to do it based on experience. Why don't we go and get some herbs?"

Li San Niang stopped her, her eyes dimming slightly: "Forget it, your father is not young anymore, at most he will just walk with a limp, why waste this money, Jiu and he still need money."

Xu Chaoyan couldn't persuade her otherwise, saying that if she felt unwell, she should speak up and that there was no need to worry about money.

She was a little tired after a long day, and yawned while covering her mouth: "Mother, I'm going back to my room to rest for a while."

"Okay, you go first."

When Li San Niang returned to the house, Meng's father saw her looking worried and quickly asked, "Did your wife cause you trouble? Those things are missing."

Seeing her husband's worried expression, she immediately explained, "No, that's not it. This wife is understanding and humble. The more she is like that, the more guilty I feel."

Meng's father lowered his head and raised it with a mournful voice: "It's all my fault for dragging you down. Mother is also ignorant. At such a critical moment, she is dragging us down."

Li Sanniang glared at him and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and get well, the family still needs you."

Xu Chaoyan pushed open the door with a creak, and Meng Jiuhe looked up at her.

"You're awake. Would you like some water? I'll get you some."

Meng Jiuhe said somewhat awkwardly, "I'm not thirsty."

Xu Chaoyan noticed that his handsome face had become thinner, making it appear more three-dimensional. He was still young, but as he grew older, she wondered how many young girls this face would captivate.

Seeing that she was staring at him blankly, looking like she was drooling, Meng Jiuhe felt displeased and turned his face away.

"Stop drooling, it's disgusting."

Xu Chaoyan was caught off guard when he suddenly turned around. After hearing this, she defended herself, saying, "I didn't drool. Don't slander me."

Meng Jiuhe scoffed, "I saw your lecherous look very clearly. Are you that thirsty? I'm still lying in bed. You wouldn't try to force yourself on me, would you?"

After saying that, Meng Jiu moved her body a little further inside, looking wary.

Xu Chaoyan pointed to herself: "Am I the kind of person who would eat anything when I'm starving? You're so skinny, like you're missing a kidney, it's a joke that I would eat like a starving wolf."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Meng Jiuhe: "Then why are you staring at me like that the moment you came in? Let me tell you, don't look like a demon. I'm a patient and I can't satisfy you right now, even if..."

Xu Chaoyan: "Why don't you say something? Even if there's something wrong, aren't you quite the talker? I even complained that you have bad kidneys, Scholar Meng."

Meng Jiu was speechless, choked by her words.

He turned his back to Xu Chaoyan, ignoring her. In his memory, when had Xu Chaoyan become so sharp-tongued and shameless?

Xu Chaoyan poured herself a bowl of water and drank it in big gulps, her mouth dry from arguing with the boy.

Seeing that he was no longer paying attention to her, Xu Chaoyan cursed inwardly, "This kid is such a pain. He's so sharp-tongued. If he wants to talk to me, he should just say so. Don't pull this stunt. His mouth is still as venomous as ever."

Why didn't those people who framed him target his mouth? I bet this kid doesn't have any friends at school.

Meng Jiuhe suddenly heard the sound of fabric rubbing together and turned around in surprise. He saw Xu Chaoyan taking off her outer clothes and looked terrified.

He crossed his arms and looked at her warily.

Xu Chaoyan casually hung her outer garment on the headboard, then threw off the covers and crawled inside.

A chill suddenly swept over her, and Meng Jiuhe couldn't help but shiver. Her voice was cold and her tone icy: "What are you doing on the bed? You think you can force me to submit in this state? Xu Chaoyan, aren't you being a beast?"

Seeing that he looked wary of her, Xu Chaoyan just wanted to tease this little boy; she found his reaction quite amusing.

"Husband, people say that absence makes the heart grow fonder. Look how long it's been since we've been together. How about I serve you today?"

Meng Jiuhe's disgust and loathing grew stronger, and he reached out to push her away, saying, "Get away from me. Aren't you ashamed at all? You've forgotten even the most basic sense of propriety and decency."

Xu Chaoyan revealed a sly smile: "Husband, don't be shy. Let me serve you well."

After speaking, she moved closer to him, intending to reach out and unbutton his clothes. Meng Jiu was so frightened by her audacious actions that he pressed himself against the wall, his face ashen, his chest heaving as he gasped for breath.

"You slut, shameless! I will never let you have your way."

Xu Chaoyan was amused by his fearless expression and burst out laughing.

Meng Jiuhe: "Is it funny? This little slut's head is full of lewd and disgusting thoughts."

Seeing that he was tightly protecting his collar, Xu Chaoyan gently slapped it open, straightened it for him, and pulled over a blanket to cover him up.

"Go to sleep? I'm so tired, I haven't had a good night's sleep in days."

Meng Jiuhe heard even breathing sounds beside him, but he hadn't reacted yet.
