Ugly girl only wants to farm
Chapter 46 Meng 9 and He Know the Truth
The man, who had just been acting like he was forcing himself on her, suddenly fell asleep. I was a little annoyed and clenched my fists so tightly that my fingers cracked.
This woman was just mocking him, deliberately trying to embarrass him; it's absolutely despicable.
"Don't keep staring at me, after all, my face isn't as good-looking as yours."
The sudden voice startled him. Caught red-handed, Meng Jiuhe felt a little guilty: "Who was looking at you? I wanted to ask you why you're lying on my bed. Get off me right now."
Xu Chaoyan wasn't angry. She turned around and faced him with a smile: "Scholar Meng, it seems you don't realize that you're already married. This is your bed, but it's also my bed. If I don't sleep here, where am I supposed to sleep? Stick the bowls on the wall?"
When Xu Chaoyan was receiving treatment in town, she slept on the ground. Meng Jiu stared at the ground for a long time, and his meaning was all too clear.
Xu Chaoyan glanced at him and then slowly said, "It's impossible for me to sleep there. I've been taking care of you these past few days and I'm exhausted. Can you please stop rambling on and on? Either close your eyes and go to sleep, or watch me sleep."
After saying that, Xu Chaoyan stopped talking. When Meng Jiuhe saw that she closed her eyes and fell asleep, he thought to himself, "Does this woman have eyes in her forehead? He just glanced at her casually, and she could see him. He quickly looked away."
Xu Chaoyan hadn't had a proper night's sleep. This time, she slept until sunset. When she slowly opened her eyes, she met Meng Jiu's slightly dissatisfied gaze, his tone still icy: "You know how to get up without even checking the time? Have you ever seen a wife like you?"
"Your mother has already come once. The whole family, young and old, is waiting for you to have a meal. Aren't you ashamed?"
Xu Chaoyan was also a little puzzled. Since they had eaten, why didn't Meng Jiu wake her up? It seemed that this man still had some conscience and knew that he hadn't slept well these days, but his mouth was really venomous and his words were cold.
When Li San Niang came to invite them for dinner, Meng Jiuhe really didn't intend to call her. Seeing the dark circles under her eyes, he did feel a little sorry for her. Aside from the fact that she was his wife, he would have felt a little sympathy for her even if she were just a cat or dog.
He wasn't sure how to view their relationship. Although the Xu family had used some tricks to get her into his family, after spending time together, he realized she wasn't as bad as he'd imagined. She even used her dowry to help with his medical expenses, and knowing his family's situation, she didn't complain or blame others. His previously negative impression of Xu Chaoyan lessened a bit.
After Xu Chaoyan got up, she poured herself a bowl of water and drank it. The dryness finally eased a bit. She turned to him and said, "Then I'll go out to eat first. You stay here for a while, and I'll bring it back to you later."
When Meng Jiuhe saw her rush out the door, and then the door opened again a moment later, he was puzzled. He saw Xu Chaoyan and her younger sister carrying a table and placing it in front of his bed, and then his mother followed.
"Mother, what are you doing? Why are you moving the table into my room to sit?"
Li San Niang explained, "Yan'er is right. We are a family, and we should all be together. So we should eat together."
Meng Jiuhe was indeed somewhat surprised that Xu Chaoyan would say such a thing. He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Mother, if you move the table to my room and we eat together, what will happen to Father? He has difficulty walking. Perhaps we should take care of Father first."
Li San Niang smiled and replied, "It's alright, you stay here for a while, I'll go help your father over. Now your father can hop a little with his legs. Someone in the village lent him a cane before, and he can hop a few steps with that cane."
At this moment, Meng Jiudong imitated his father's hopping and skipping manner: "Big brother, look, Dad hops and skips like that, just like the frogs in our village's pond, hopping and skipping."
Just then, Meng's father followed the boy in. He didn't seem annoyed at all. He said, "You little brat, you know how to tease your father. Your father is a four-legged frog that hops around. And what are you? You're just a little frog that follows me around."
After saying that, he burst into laughter.
Li San Niang moved a table and chair with a backrest to him and placed it in front of him, carefully helping him sit down: "Father, be careful."
Then the food was served. Today's meal was quite plentiful, with a large pot of vegetable noodles, some fried eggs, and a plate of sliced pickled vegetables.
Meng Jiudong immediately cheered: "Wow, big brother, our family's meal is really plentiful today. You don't know, when you're not home, we only drink vegetable soup. Also, after my grandmother ran away, our family has never seen meat again. Before, when my grandmother was home, she always complained that she wanted to eat meat."
Children often speak without thinking, so Meng Jiuhe looked at him and asked, "Little brother, what did you say? Grandma ran away? Where did Grandma go?"
Everyone had different expressions on their faces, and no one said a word of explanation. Seeing that everyone's expressions were different, Meng Jiuhe looked at his mother and said, "Mother, why don't you tell me what happened?"
Li Sanniang sighed and began to tell the story: "I didn't want to tell you this, but I was afraid you would worry. Since you asked, I will tell you. During the time you went to town for medical treatment, your grandmother suddenly entered my and your father's room one day and stole your wife's dowry."
Meng Jiuhe glanced at her father, who looked ashamed. "We have failed our daughter-in-law's trust and failed to take good care of her things. It's all our fault. Your grandmother must have been instigated by your aunt."
Meng Jiuhe put down his chopsticks and bowl, his face grave: "Where did Grandmother go? Didn't you go looking for her?"
Meng's father put down his chopsticks and said helplessly, "It's not that we didn't try to look for her. We heard that she took those things to your aunt. Your aunt and uncle promised to take care of her in her old age and see her off when she died. But when we went to look for them, they had already moved away. Now we don't know where they moved to."
Meng Jiuxia then muttered, "Big brother, you don't know how outrageous Grandmother was. When you first came back, Grandmother stole the silver hairpin from Trumpet Flower's dowry and got you a bowl of some kind of celestial master's holy water. It was all black and murky. If we hadn't run fast, we would have forced you to drink the whole bowl."
Meng Jiuhe: "What? My grandmother is so outrageous! How could she steal?"
Meng Jiuxia continued to complain: "And there's something even worse. That Peach Blossom kept pestering Grandmother to give her the silver hairpin as part of her dowry. She's shameless."
