Ugly girl only wants to farm

Hearing Meng Jiu fall to the ground with such a loud thud, Xu Chaoyan felt the pain for him, but the man seemed to feel nothing. Lying on the ground, his eyes were filled with despair as he swung his fist and slammed it into the ground: "How useless you are, making me live in this world and suffer the ridicule of the world, and even dragging down my family. Why don't you just fall to your death?"

Xu Chaoyan didn't rush to help him up. She let him vent his anger first, then slowly squatted down beside him and whispered, "Are you alright?"

Seeing the woman still standing there, looking disheveled, Meng Jiuhe roared in grief and anger, "Get out of here! I don't want you to care about me. Just let me fend for myself!"

Xu Chaoyan ignored him and used all her strength to help him up. This person usually looked thin and weak, but he was so heavy that she couldn't lift him up even with all her strength.

Xu Chaoyan was panting heavily as she sat there, gasping for breath. She couldn't argue with him right now, so she could only try to guide him step by step: "Husband, listen to me, drink your medicine first. That miracle doctor said you still have a chance to recover. As long as we don't give up, you see the state of our family now. If you continue down this path, our family will fall apart. You don't really want Uncle to laugh at our family, do you?"

Xu Chaoyan rattled off a string of words. Seeing that Meng Jiuhe neither paid attention to her nor spoke, nor refused her, she said, "I'll take that as a yes. Come on, I'll count to three. Can you put in a little more force? Forget it, I'll just go call my sister-in-law over!"

It took the two of them working together to get the person onto the bed.

Meng Jiuxia's eyes reddened slightly: "Big brother, if you don't think about yourself, you should think about our parents. Did they have a hard time raising you? Now that Dad is bedridden, what are we going to do if you do this?"

After saying that, she started to sob. Meng Jiuhe was very agitated at this moment. He didn't know how to respond to Xu Chaoyan's accusations and his sister's words.

But he just couldn't accept the fact that he was crippled and would never be able to stand up again. His eyes were dim and his face was indifferent: "You guys go out first, let me have some peace and quiet."

Xu Chaoyan brought the medicine bowl back to her: "We can go out, but you have to drink this medicine first, and then we'll obediently go out."

Meng Jiuhe reached out and took the bowl of medicine. The hand was long and slender with distinct knuckles, though slightly pale. He then swallowed the bowl in one gulp without any expression.

Xu Chaoyan thought to herself, "He's really something. She could smell such a strong aroma from far away." She frowned and wondered, "Doesn't he find it bitter?" She had even kindly made him a bowl of honey water, but it seemed he didn't really need it.

After Xu Chaoyan left the room and gently closed the door, Meng Jiuxia suddenly asked, "Morning Glory, even now that my brother is so badly injured, you still like him, right?"

What?

Xu Chaoyan was stunned when she heard her sister-in-law ask such a question. She looked at her blankly for a moment before realizing that the girl must have taken her second uncle's words to heart.

She gave an awkward laugh: "What are you saying? Haven't I always liked your older brother? I used every means to marry him. Haven't you seen it all these days? I can't live without him. My illness was cured as soon as I came to your family. He's my lucky star and my talisman."

After saying these words, Xu Chaoyan turned her face away and chuckled. She had never said such cheesy things in either of her lives. She was only saying these things against her will to appease the girl. She herself was almost sickeningly cheesy.

"Hey, big brother, you're in a bad mood today and you don't have anywhere to sleep tonight. Why don't you squeeze into my room?"

Xu Chaoyan's face lit up with joy; she could finally get a good night's sleep.

"Let me make this clear first: you can only sleep on the floor in my room, and you can't snore or grind your teeth while sleeping. You also can't get up at night and disturb me, because I'm easily startled and I have to get up in the morning to do a lot of chores and help my mother with some of the work."

Seeing the little girl's awkward expression, Xu Chaoyan smiled slightly. She clearly wanted to care about her, but her words always went against her own wishes.

She cheerfully replied, "Okay, I won't mind squeezing into your room with you. Or we can share a bed; we don't have any extra blankets, and it's too cold at night."

Meng Jiuxia distanced herself from her and said with a look of disgust, "I have nightmares when I see your face."

Xu Chaoyan was so choked by her words that she felt a tightness in her throat, unable to get up or down, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

This little brat, she always manages to drive people crazy with her words. Can't she just say something properly?

It was already late autumn, and she didn't want to sleep on the ground, shivering from the cold at night. That was no fun. In ancient times, with limited medical care, even a minor cold could be fatal, and she was someone who valued her life very much.

She quickly caught up with him, flashing a flattering smile: "Sister-in-law, how about we make a deal? Let me squeeze into your bed. I promise I won't snore or fart. And let's each sleep at one end of the bed, so you won't see my face and you won't have nightmares."

"Morning flower, why are you so annoying? Stop crowding me! It's so annoying! And stop always coming this way."

Wow! My dear sister-in-law, you have such a great figure.

"You scoundrel, you pervert."

A sentence could be heard intermittently from inside, then everything would fall into darkness.

The day's events were truly thrilling and left her physically and mentally exhausted. Xu Chaoyan originally wanted to go to sleep early, but the girl kept rambling on and on, insisting on talking to her. If she wanted to chat, she should have just chatted properly. After a few words, the girl would start arguing and wouldn't let it go. She really didn't understand what this awkward girl wanted to do.

Xu Chaoyan was awakened by the urge to urinate. In their family, oil lamps and candles were scarce items, usually reserved for Meng Jiuhe's studies.

Xu Chaoyan's eyesight was still quite good. Using the dim light outside, she felt her way off the bed and gently opened the door, intending to go to the toilet.

Suddenly, she heard some soft noises from the other side. She looked around and thought it was some kind of stray cat, so she ignored it and decided to relieve herself first.

After she came out, she heard the sound again, and after listening carefully, it seemed to be coming from Meng Jiuhe's house.

She pulled her clothes tighter around her; it was indeed quite chilly at night. She went to the door and knocked gently twice.

Are you asleep? Do you need any help?

There was no sound coming from inside. Had I misheard? Oh well, I should go in and check.
