Ugly girl only wants to farm

Chapter 114 Bonus Chapter Drop

Meng Jiuxia was young and rather frail. Xu Chaoyan glanced at the basket on the ground with some worry, wondering if she could bear the weight.

While the others weren't looking, she quickly grabbed the small basket from the ground and stuffed it into her hands: "Take this and put less in it. If there's too much, you won't be able to carry it and it will stunt your growth."

A woman had just reached out halfway when she missed Xu Chaoyan. She glared at Xu Chaoyan with venomous eyes, cursing and swearing, uttering incredibly filthy words.

"You shameless little wench, why are you trying to steal my thunder? You're obviously no good. Why don't you try to get closer to men? Why are you trying to steal my thunder? Are you in such a hurry to be reborn?"

Xu Chaoyan had already tolerated her for a long time, but seeing her cursing getting more and more outrageous, she glared at her fiercely and retorted without any politeness: "Old hag, are you spewing filth? This thing is just sitting here without any hands or feet. Whoever gets it first gets it. You're here early in the morning looking so unsatisfied. Is it because your man isn't satisfying you? There are plenty of men out there. You can just find someone to sneak around with. Why are you causing trouble here? You're bringing bad luck."

Meng Jiuxia was stunned. She had never heard her sister-in-law use so many foul words before. The cursing words kept coming out of her mouth, and she stood there for a long time without being able to react.

The woman with a fierce face stood with her hands on her hips, her face red and her neck thick, ready to fight her.

Xu Chaoyan wasn't afraid of her at all, and her words were even more filthy than Xu Chaoyan's. The woman was so angry that she grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it at her.

"You two shameless brats, born of a mother but uneducated by one, today I'll act as your mother and teach you a lesson. You shameless hussies, who in this town doesn't know that Aunt Guihua dared to steal from me? I think you're tired of living."

Another woman quickly came over and advised, "Young lady, don't bother with her. This person is used to throwing tantrums and making a scene. You won't get away with it if you fight with her. I see you're so young. A moment of patience will bring peace, and taking a step back will open up a whole new world." The woman directly stood in the middle and began to persuade her.

Seeing the arrogant woman looking like she wanted to devour someone, Xu Chaoyan immediately shielded her sister-in-law behind her, not afraid of her arguing back at all.

"Come on, I'd be scared of you! You think I'm easy to bully? Don't think you can take advantage of us just because we're young. You think you can be our mother? Don't you know how to be a mother yourself?"

"What are you all doing? Making such a racket, why aren't you working? You're just dawdling here, wasting time. Don't you want to work anymore? Work for another half hour."

The employer was walking along eating a cornbread when he saw the group of women gathered there and started yelling at them with dissatisfaction. He hadn't wanted to hire these women to do this kind of work, but there was a labor shortage in town recently, so he had to hire these women to make up the numbers and do some heavy work. The only advantage was that he could pay them half the wages, and they would only get a bowl of thin porridge at noon.

The woman glared at him a few times before reluctantly leaving.

Throughout the work, the woman intentionally or unintentionally ostracized them, either by nudging Meng Jiuxia while carrying her things or by accidentally stepping on her foot.

She didn't dare to approach Xu Chaoyan at all. She probably just intimidated her with her posture. Xu Chaoyan hadn't noticed this place before, but she accidentally saw her sister-in-law walking with a limp.

She was a little confused. After waiting for her to come over, she stepped forward and asked, "How are you? Are you tired? Does your shoulder hurt? I have a handkerchief here. If you put it on your shoulder, it should make you feel better and relieve some of the pain."

Meng Jiuxia took the basket off her back and stretched her shoulders, then quickly waved her hand and said, "It's okay, sister-in-law, I can manage. You should keep it for yourself. This is no big deal, much easier than what I used to do in the village."

After saying that, she forced a smile. Xu Chaoyan saw that her forehead was covered in sweat from the forced smile, and she felt a little sorry for her, so she pulled her sister-in-law aside.

"Let's rest here for a bit, have some water, and I'll take a look at your foot."

Finally, after being pressed repeatedly, Meng Jiuxia revealed what had happened to her foot.

Xu Chaoyan scooped up a bowl of cold water and gulped it down.

She had never done such hard labor before. Her shoulders felt like they didn't belong to her. A burning pain shot through her, and she grimaced in pain.

"Sister-in-law, I'm really fine. Don't argue with that person. She's so strong. What if she throws a punch at you? Can you take it?"

Meng Jiuxia looked like she was about to cry, and tugged at her sleeve, whispering, "Sister-in-law, I'm really fine, it doesn't hurt at all, please stay away from that fat woman."

"What are you all doing? Get moving! If you keep slacking off, you won't need to come in tomorrow." The two quickly got back to work.

Xu Chaoyan was not one to suffer a loss. Later, while working, she found an opportunity to stomp on the woman's foot hard, making her hold her breath and unable to vent. She even smiled and apologized, saying that she didn't mean to. The woman gritted her teeth and said it was okay.

Meng Jiuhe spent the whole day cleaning the house and tried to weave a bamboo fence like his father used to. The chicks were running around everywhere and droppings were everywhere.

There was a small bamboo grove not far from the house. He casually picked a few bamboo stalks and cut them down. On the way, he met Zhang Xuyang, who looked at him strangely and asked him what he was going to do with them. Meng Jiu hesitated for a long time before finally explaining his purpose.

Zhang Xuyang was busy with something and said he would ask his father to lend a hand when he had some free time so that he could rest more.

When Xu Chaoyan and the others dragged their tired bodies back to the courtyard, they saw bamboo sections, bamboo tubes, bamboo strips, and other bamboo pieces piled up haphazardly all over the ground.

Meng Jiuxia limped in, giving the man holding a bamboo knife a strange look and asking, "Big brother, what are you trying to do?"

Meng Jiuhe then looked up. He had been so busy that he had forgotten that he had originally planned to go outside to wait for them to return, but he had missed the appointed time. He quickly put down his bamboo knife, shook off the bamboo shavings from his body, and then went over: "You're back. How was your day? Are you tired? I'll boil some water for you."

Then, as if embarrassed, he hurriedly tidied up the bamboo strips and said somewhat awkwardly, "I was just thinking of making a fence for the chicks, but this knife just wouldn't obey me. The things I chopped up are all messed up."

Xu Chaoyan quickly stopped him: "Don't accept it, just leave it like this? Be careful not to cut your hand. Your hands are for holding pens, this is not work for you."

Xu Chaoyan picked up the bamboo tubes and was about to put them aside when Meng Jiuhe reached out to stop her, saying that he could do it. Meng Jiuhe's hand landed on her shoulder, and Xu Chaoyan suddenly stopped, her body stiffening and trembling slightly. The touch had been burning her, and she hissed softly.

On this auspicious day, in celebration of the opportune time, I'm adding an extra chapter today.

May every year bring you joy and good fortune.
