Ugly girl only wants to farm

Chapter 304 The Calm Lake (44)

Zhang Qiao'er looked at him shyly and said, "Of course."

Meng Jiuhe then looked at her with a meaningful smile: "Then show it to me. I also want to know what I wrote."

Zhang Qiao'er raised her sleeve to half-cover her face, revealing a shy expression: "Brother Meng, how can you bring up such a private matter? You said you would tell me to keep it safe. We can read it together in private in the future."

Meng Jiuhe looked at the family of three with a somewhat irritated expression, his voice still as cold as frost.

“I don’t know what you’re trying to do, but if you’re trying to scheme against someone, you’ve picked the wrong target. You’re illiterate, let alone have writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones at home. Why would I write a poem for you? Besides, I don’t have that habit. I was just trying to trick you, and you’ve already given yourself away.”

Zhang's mother looked furious: "Meng Jiu and you brat, you ruined my daughter's reputation and just left like that! I'm telling you, if you dare to step out of this door today, I'll break your legs."

Seeing that he was about to walk out, Zhang's mother hurriedly searched everywhere for something handy.

Zhang Qiao'er roared angrily, "Meng Jiu and I have already had physical intimacy with you, how can you just leave like this? You're still a scholar, all your education has gone to waste."

Originally, Meng Jiuhe was considerate of the fact that they were all from the same hometown, and that the family had indeed treated him quite well in those years. He also didn't want to be the kind person who repaid kindness with enmity, given the kindness shown to his grandfather.

After hearing Zhang Qiao'er say that the two of them had already been intimate, he paused for a moment, hesitated slightly, and then turned around.

I had originally intended to show her some leniency, out of consideration for their kindness to my grandfather. It seems there's no need to show her any mercy now.

He also wanted to resolve this matter quickly so he could go home and appease his wife. He was somewhat frightened by her angry demeanor just now.

At this moment, Meng Jiu looked at Zhang Qiao'er indifferently: "Don't talk nonsense and cause misunderstandings. I was already a little drunk from drinking, so I didn't have the mind to do anything else. Besides, only my wife can untie the knot on my body. How did you untie it? In my daze, I saw an impatient figure trying to take off my clothes, but I kicked him away."

As he finished speaking, Zhang Qiao'er lowered her head guiltily and mumbled, "You took off your clothes yourself. The clothes I'm wearing are indeed your sister's, you can't deny that."

Meng Jiuhe nodded: "I did take off my clothes myself. I just wanted to get rid of the smell of alcohol. I kicked you to the ground in my daze, and I heard you scream. Do you want to see the scrapes on your hands? Aren't you tired of acting all by yourself here? How did I end up having physical contact with you? No one but my wife can get close to me. I wouldn't be so desperate as to pounce on any woman I see."

Zhang Qiao'er's face grew even paler after hearing his words. If she couldn't capture Meng Jiuhe today, who knew if she would ever have another chance?

I'm determined to stick to this marriage while my parents are here today. It will be too late if I wait any longer.

Zhang Qiao'er lowered her head and sobbed softly, while she pondered how to make this stubborn green bean obediently surrender.

In fact, she didn't have much contact with Meng Jiuhe in the early years. She only knew that he was a bookworm and that she would only see him once a year during festivals.

In the past, whenever she saw Meng Jiuhe, she would blush at his handsome face and always politely keep her distance. Although he was cold-hearted, he wouldn't have acted like this now. It's all that ugly woman's fault.

Since Madam Xu has already been driven away and the two have developed a rift, even if he doesn't divorce her and goes back, it will cause chaos. So why not shamelessly try to win her over?

Caught off guard by Zhang Qiao'er's sudden action, Meng Jiuhe quickly stepped back to avoid her, just as her hand was about to touch his waist. He ended up falling to the ground, missing his target.

Then, with a look of great pain on her face, she said, "Brother Meng, please don't abandon me. How can I face living in this world after this?"

Meng Jiuhe retreated several steps as if avoiding a plague, coldly looking at Meng Xiuzhi: "Aunt, are you just standing there watching the show? Do you think I'll believe that this really has nothing to do with you? I'll go back and write to my uncle right now, and have him come and take you back in person."

Startled by her nephew's threat, Meng Xiuzhi quickly stepped forward to stop him, looking embarrassed. "Qiao'er, do you think there's some misunderstanding? Why don't we leave it at that for today and talk about it another day? My mother is alone in the house, and I need to go back and check on the people around her."

After saying that, he grabbed Meng Jiuhe and ran outside.

After leaving the courtyard, Meng Jiuhe ruthlessly shook off her hand.

"Aunt, I don't know what you're trying to do, but don't cross my line."

After leaving those words, Meng Jiuhe hurriedly rushed to the shop.

"Little sister, is your sister-in-law inside?"

Meng Jiuxia saw her older brother running in from outside, panting heavily, with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead and his clothes somewhat disheveled.

She quickly pulled out a handkerchief and handed it to him, not forgetting to tease him a bit: "Brother, did you just come out of the coal mine? Hurry up and wipe yourself off, catch your breath before you talk."

Ignoring everything else, Meng Jiuhe avoided the handkerchief offered to him and asked again, "Has your sister-in-law returned? Did you see how she looked?"

Now only Jiang Xinyi and she were left in the shop. Seeing Meng Jiuhe's disheveled appearance, she quickly brought over the tea that had been cooled.

"Why don't you have some tea and rest for a bit? Didn't Sister Xu go out looking for you? Did you two get lost? Didn't you find her? That shouldn't be the case."

Before she could finish speaking, Meng Jiuhe hurriedly ran out towards home. She nearly bumped into Zhang Yueniang as she opened the courtyard gate.

Zhang Yueniang patted her chest, looking startled: "Where did you come from? Why are you in such a hurry? Be careful not to bump into something."

Ya Ya pointed at his face and asked, "Uncle, your face is so dirty, go wash it quickly."

Meng Jiuhe, not having time to think about anything else, hurriedly asked, "Sister, have you seen my wife return?"

Zhang Yueniang pointed to their room: "My sister just got back not long ago. She's making all sorts of things in the room, I don't know what she's doing, I was just about to go over and take a look."

He breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and after calming himself down, he pushed open the door and saw Xu Chaoyan packing her things. She didn't even turn her head after hearing the noise.

"You've come back just in time. I've already prepared the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone for you. Hurry up and write the divorce papers so we can part amicably."

Meng Jiuhe saw that the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone were all prepared and placed on the table. He panicked and ran over to hug the person tightly.

"My wife, can we not get a divorce? I don't agree to separate."

Xu Chaoyan struggled for a long time but couldn't break free. The weather was already hot, and after a few attempts, she was covered in sweat. So she simply stopped struggling and sat in his lap, just looking at him. She remained silent for a long time.

Meng Jiu felt a chill run down her spine from being stared at. After glancing at the person, she spoke cautiously.

"Could we discuss not getting a divorce? I'll agree to anything else. You can even hit me or scold me." He said, moving his face closer to Xu Chaoyan.

Just as his lips were about to touch her cheek, Xu Chaoyan pushed him away with her fingers.

“I find things that others have touched dirty; I’m a clean freak. I’ve already told you, Scholar Meng, that you didn’t marry me of your own volition back then. Now that you’ve reunited with your childhood sweetheart and your white moonlight, you should be happy. I’ll make room for you. Zhang Qiao’er has quite a bit of wealth in this county. If you’re with her, you won’t have to work so hard copying books, and I won’t have to work so hard to support you as you go to the capital for the imperial examinations.”

After being pushed away by Xu Chaoyan, Meng Jiu looked at her with a hurt expression: "Wife, are you really going to push me to someone else? Don't you know what kind of person I am?"
