Ugly girl only wants to farm

Seeing Xu Chaoyan's lecherous look, Meng Jiuhe was so angry that his fingers cracked as he spoke in a cold voice: "Xu Chaoyan, you shameless woman, thinking about such filthy things so early in the morning."

She wasn't annoyed and let his glare fly over her. She grabbed a pillow and put it behind his back while muttering, "You're my husband, and I'm your wife. What's wrong with me touching you? If you feel like you're at a disadvantage, I'll let you touch me back."

After she finished speaking, she leaned her face closer, but Meng Jiuhe pushed her away: "I can't bear to touch such an ugly face of yours. Even if you beg me, I won't do it, hmph."

Perhaps Meng Jiuhe used too much force, because Xu Chaoyan was caught off guard and stumbled and fell to the ground.

Meng Jiuhe had been looking down when he spoke and hadn't seen anything. After a while, when he looked up and saw Xu Chaoyan sitting on the ground, looking injured and with her face slightly flushed.

He regretted his earlier force. Since she was already his wife, even if he disliked her, he shouldn't have treated her like that. All those years of studying the classics had been for nothing.

These days, this woman has been busy taking care of him, without abandoning the family, and has been doing her best to take care of him. Did he go too far just now?

But he was too proud to say an apology.

Xu Chaoyan blushed because when Meng Jiuhe pushed her, he probably didn't notice that his hand suddenly touched her chest and he slapped her away, leaving her with a slight pain in her buttocks.

She thought to herself that this kid was being a bit too ruthless; her bottom was still throbbing.

Seeing that she hadn't gotten up for a long time, Meng Jiuhe wondered if she had fallen somewhere, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.

He spoke stiffly with a cold face: "Don't try to back out. I just gave you a light push. Don't lie there and refuse to get up. Besides, you were the one who tried to take advantage of me first. I was just acting on instinct."

Xu Chaoyan pushed herself up from the ground, patted the dirt off her hands, and gave him an annoyed look: "Why don't you try falling down too?"

Seeing that she got up nimbly, Meng Jiu guessed that she should be fine, and then turned his face away.

Xu Chaoyan slapped her buttocks repeatedly, muttering, "There's too much dust on the ground, it's everywhere. The floor tiles are much more comfortable."

Meng Jiuhe: "If you don't like living here, you can leave anytime. Nobody will stop you."

Xu Chaoyan was taken aback. She wanted to leave, but her cheap father was nowhere to be found, and she didn't even have a place to stay. Where would she get a household registration and travel permit? Oh well, he's just a child throwing a tantrum, so she decided not to argue with him.

Once her father returns and she has a place to stay, she'll immediately divorce you and live a carefree life. For now, let's just make do.

Xu Chaoyan immediately put on a flattering smile: "Husband, what are you saying? Since I married into your family, I am yours in life and in death. Besides, don't you understand my feelings?"

After she finished speaking, she blinked at him a few times.

Meng Jiuhe quickly turned his face away with a look of disgust: "Can you speak properly? Don't choke me like you're possessed by a ghost."

Xu Chaoyan rolled her eyes and thought to herself: Even if I possess you, I'll possess your body, torture you terribly, tear off your arrogance, and drag you down with me.

The more she thought about it, the wider the curve of her lips became, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Meng Jiu glanced at her with disdain: "What are you laughing at? You're proud of being choked by a ghost, aren't you? Get out of here right now and stop looking at me with those lecherous eyes. It's giving me goosebumps."

Xu Chaoyan didn't argue with him. She was still thinking about what it would feel like if this high-and-mighty flower were pulled down from her pedestal and fell into ruin along with him.

"Okay, I'll go out first. Don't hurt yourself by doing anything reckless."

Xu Chaoyan rushed over and slammed the door shut. Meng Jiuhe's voice, filled with gritted teeth, came through: "Xu Chaoyan, I'm going to make you my enemy. Get as far away from me as possible."

After she left the house, she covered her mouth and chuckled. This kid was so easily amused. He'd only driven a couple of cars; he hadn't even driven on the road yet.

Breakfast was delivered by Meng Jiuxia. Meng Jiuhe's angry voice was still echoing in her mind. She decided not to provoke him; she had a lot of things to do later.

This is the last market day in the neighboring town. After we finish this, we'll clean up and prepare for our first New Year here.

When Meng Jiuhe saw his younger sister bring him breakfast, his heart finally settled down. He was afraid that he might lose his temper.

Seeing that her elder brother's expression wasn't too good, Meng Jiuxia guessed that Trumpet Flower had caused trouble again, so she started to speak on her own to ease the atmosphere.

"Brother, you don't look well. Did Trumpet Flower upset you? Don't take it to heart. That woman is just a talker. She's always right and never lets things go. But she's not a bad person at heart."

She spoke the last sentence in a low voice, though she was reluctant to admit that this woman was actually quite alright. She wholeheartedly admired her older brother and took care of the whole family tirelessly and without complaint.

She actually wanted to say that her older brother could stop always having such a stern face towards her. They had already married her, so how could they go back on their word? Besides, she was used to it; it was just some pustules on her face. The doctor had given her a box of medicine to apply, and it had worked quite well.

She still hoped that Xu Chaoyan would continue to buy medicine to heal her face as soon as possible, so that she would look more comfortable.

Meng Jiuhe glanced at his younger sister, his expression complex, before finally saying, "She just fell down. Go check if she's alright."

"what?"

Meng Jiuxia placed the bowl in his hands, looking puzzled: "She seemed perfectly normal when I went to the kitchen just now?"

Meng Jiu coughed twice to cover his embarrassment: "Perhaps I saw it wrong?"

Meng Jiuxia was puzzled that her older brother had changed his ways, listened to what she had just said, and was now thinking of showing concern for the trumpet flower.

Even as they sat down to eat, Meng Jiuxia was still pondering what her older brother had just said.

"What's wrong with Xia'er?" Li San Niang pointed to the bowl in her hand, which she hadn't touched.

Meng Jiuxia then realized what was happening. She put down her bowl, looking very serious, while everyone at the table stared at her.

"Father, Mother just told me to prepare his old writing materials, because he wants to go to the market in town with us."

Xu Chaoyan looked at her: "What is he going to do? Why didn't he say just now?"

Li San Niang said, "The weather is cold, and his body can't handle it. He wants to go to the market, but we'll wait until it's warmer." Meng's father nodded in agreement.

“My older brother said he wanted to help the family out. He’s like a useless person because he’s lying in bed all day, so he plans to go out and write Spring Festival couplets to earn as much as he can.”

The group fell into deep thought. Li San Niang, feeling sorry for her son, naturally didn't want him to go.

Meng's father comforted her, saying, "Alright, let him go if he wants to. He must be feeling cooped up in the house all day. It's good for him to go out and relax. We'll prepare a few hot water bottles for him to take with him so his hands don't get cold."
