Ugly girl only wants to farm

Chapter 231 Taken advantage of

Xu Chaoyan saw the man standing not far away with a dark face from afar. A cunning glint flashed in her eyes as she slightly curled her lips. This was a golden opportunity, and she was determined to make him bleed. Since her man had attracted someone's attention, couldn't she take advantage of it? Last time, because of a few words she said, Meng Jiu had held a grudge against her for a long time, always giving her the cold shoulder and speaking to her in a sarcastic tone.

Shen Siheng was also extremely anxious: "Brother Meng, what are you and the others still doing here? I'm telling you, hurry up and go over there. What if your wife suffers a loss? That woman is awful. She was chasing after me relentlessly before. I find her extremely annoying."

Zhang Xuyang looked him up and down, and asked somewhat uncertainly, "Are you sure it's because she's been pursuing you relentlessly? With your barely presentable appearance, how could she possibly be interested in you?"

Shen Siheng immediately snapped at him: "What do you mean by 'presentable appearance'? Am I not handsome enough? At most, I'm a little less handsome than Brother Meng, but I'm still much more handsome than you. Look at you, all dark and grimy, like a piece of coal."

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Meng Jiuhe simply walked over there.

When Xu Chaoyan saw Meng Jiuhe coming over, a plan suddenly came to her mind. She raised a shy smile and sweetly called out, "Husband, you've come? Are you hungry? You must be tired today."

Her shy shout immediately annoyed Qin Zhenzhen. She raised her eyebrows and looked over, only to see Meng Jiuhe walking towards her as aloof and elegant as ever. Although he was wearing a cotton dress that was neither new nor old, it made him look tall and slender. His fair skin made him look like a gentle breeze and a bright moon. Qin Zhenzhen was so embarrassed that she quickly lowered her eyes.

Meng Xiucai is the one she is most satisfied with so far. It's just that his family's wealth is a bit thin, but that doesn't matter. As long as she manages things, the two of them will have no worries about making a good living in the future. With his knowledge, he can take the provincial examination and then the metropolitan examination. Even if he doesn't get into the top three and becomes a Jinshi, his life will still be good. It's better than marrying a spoiled brat from a county magistrate's family and only getting a concubine, which is still inferior to others.

Lately, her father has become increasingly attentive, bringing him to many banquets and mentioning him to her intentionally or unintentionally. Although her mother also brings up these matters, she still cares about her daughter's happiness. At least, her daughter's happiness is very important. Although the magistrate's son is a bit of a playboy, his family is well-off and his life is not bad. For a family like theirs, it is impossible to find someone much better.

Qin Zhenzhen's father wanted a promotion, so he was in a hurry to send her to the county magistrate's mansion, but he never considered her feelings. That fat, big-eared pig's head made her feel nauseous and wanted to vomit. This scholar Meng was much more attractive.

After Meng Jiu came over, he walked around from behind, avoiding Qin Zhenzhen's greeting. Shen Siheng looked like he had swallowed a fly: "Hey, Qin Zhenzhen, what are you doing here again? Are you short of men lately? Trying to cast a wide net and catch fish, huh? You can choose whoever you want, but don't disrespect my brother Meng. Look, Zhang Xuyang is not bad looking either. Why don't you change your target and make do?"

Zhang Xuyang, who had come with them, took the handkerchief his sister handed him to wipe his hands, thinking to himself that this kid had finally said something sensible, but who would have thought he would turn around and sell himself out.

With a furious expression, Qin Zhenzhen stomped on Shen Siheng before he could react, and he immediately howled.

"You tigress, you she-devil, you'll never get married in your life. Whoever marries you will be incredibly unlucky. Ouch, it hurts so much!"

Xu Chaoyan ladled out a bowl of hot soup and took out a lump of dough to make a bowl of knife-cut noodles for Meng Jiuhe. The weather had been cold these past few days, and eating some noodles would fill her stomach and warm her up. She deliberately placed the bowl of noodles on the table some distance away from herself and then carried a charcoal brazier over and placed it there.

Seeing his wife's actions, Meng Jiuhe frowned almost imperceptibly. Before he could say anything, she pushed him over, saying, "Hurry up and eat it while it's hot. The charcoal brazier is ready for you. And Shen Siheng, haven't you been saying you're hungry? The sweet potatoes over there are roasted perfectly. I'll go peel one for you."

Shen Siheng didn't think much of it. After Meng Jiuhe was pushed to sit there by his wife for a while, Qin Zhenzhen also sat down on the bench opposite.

"Scholar Meng, you don't mind sitting together, do you? My hands are freezing red, so I can warm them up."

Meng Jiuhe continued eating his noodles with a blank expression. Sheng Shensiheng took the sweet potato, shook it a few times, and was about to go find Meng Jiuhe when Xu Chaoyan pulled him back: "There's a charcoal brazier here too, you can sit here as well, why go over there and squeeze in? I'll get you a bowl of hot soup, be careful not to choke."

Xiao Chun took the money bag handed to her by the young lady and threw it in front of Xu Chaoyan, looking very generous: "My young lady said to pick out some good food and send it over. Oh, and it would be best to make a separate portion and put it in a food box to send to my young master."

Sitting at the same table with a man so openly, Qin Zhenzhen still felt a little guilty and wanted to say something, but she couldn't open her mouth for a long time. She was so anxious that she almost bit her lip until it bled. The man in front of her had almost finished half of his bowl of noodles.

She slammed her teacup down in displeasure: "Why hasn't it been delivered yet? Does Xiaochun want the young master to starve?"

Xiao Chun immediately brought over a bowl of hot soup with a fawning expression: "Miss, please have some soup to warm yourself up. I'll take it to the young master right away."

Xu Chaoyan weighed the money pouch in her hand, unable to suppress the smile on her lips.

"Oh dear, Miss Chun, you don't need to lift a finger. Sit down and have some hot soup to warm yourself by the fire. I'll bring it over to your young master in a bit, and I'll also pick up a few sweet potatoes to warm his heart and stomach."

Qin Zhenzhen glanced at the ugly woman, and to her surprise, the woman was quite sensible and had her maid bring the box of pastries down from the carriage.

Meng Jiu didn't even glance at the exquisite and delicious pastries on the table. He was already eating the noodles in his bowl, deliberately slurping them loudly. Qin Zhenzhen didn't seem to mind and looked at him with a shy expression.

Xu Chaoyan, carrying a food box, pulled Shen Siheng by the collar and led him inside, saying, "Hurry up and lead the way for me, I don't know that young master of the Qin family."

Shen Siheng mumbled through his mouth, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'll go with you right away. I can handle this little thing myself. Why make you do it yourself?"

Xu Chaoyan pointed to the corner of his mouth: "There's a big black patch, hurry up and wipe it off. I'll go in and familiarize myself with the place so that if I have business next time, I can deliver it myself."

Not long after I entered the county school, they saw Qin Xiao and his servant walking towards them from the opposite side.

Qin Xiao took the initiative to greet Shen Siheng after seeing him.

"A few days ago you invited me to your restaurant, saying you had launched a new dish. I was busy with family matters and couldn't come over. I've been quite free these past few days, so why don't you come and try it? I just heard you've made two good friends, and they're quite talented. Why don't you introduce them to me?"

Qin Xiao was completely different from his sister. He loved being with talented people and never cared about their family background. He valued talent and character. Among this group of young masters, he stood out from the crowd.

Shen Siheng agreed without much thought: "I wanted to introduce my brother Meng to you last time. He is very knowledgeable, and I will rely on him to guide me in the future."

When Qin Xiao heard him mention Brother Meng, he suddenly remembered that his younger sister had mentioned him briefly, and he couldn't help but ask, "What is your friend's name?"

Qin Xiao suddenly became even more curious about the person that his sister had mentioned and that this brat had mentioned. He suddenly really wanted to meet him. He knew what kind of person his sister was, so he thought it would be good to have Shen Siheng introduce him to someone with real talent. He didn't want his sister to ruin his future.
