Ugly girl only wants to farm

Chapter 116 Blushing Again

Meng Jiuhe, who had already left, quickly turned around after hearing this sound and wondered if the person had fallen into the bathtub!

Xu Chaoyan was actually a little embarrassed. She had been holding a soap bar for scrubbing in her hand, which had just fallen into the water with a splash. She had been searching for it for a long time but couldn't find it, and was now bending over, trying her best to look for it.

Don't underestimate this bar of scented soap for bathing. This bar is a luxury for an ordinary family. It was a few extra bars that Granny Xu had put in her trunk when she got married. She had been using it sparingly, so there are still some left.

The Meng family had looked down on her before, otherwise the old hag would have already plundered her. Xu Chaoyan searched for a long time but couldn't find anything, her head almost drooping into the water.

Seeing that she had her head down in the water, Meng Jiu was so frightened that he quickly came over and scooped her up. His voice unconsciously rose a few decibels: "What are you doing? Do you want to drink the bathwater? Aren't you afraid of choking to death?"

Xu Chaoyan was lifted up like a little chick by him. Her little face was flushed, and her starry eyes were filled with tears. She looked at him with a puzzled expression: "I was looking for something. It will all melt away in a while. There wasn't much of this left to begin with."

Meng Jiuhe was holding her arm, and their eyes met. Meng Jiuhe felt a little thirsty. Looking at the woman in front of him, his face suddenly turned even redder. He didn't know where to look. He shook off her hand and said in a bad tone, "What are you looking at? Get up! I knew you were up to no good. A woman should know some manners and shame. What kind of nonsense are you thinking? Are you planning to spend the night in the tub?"

Xu Chaoyan watched as he kept talking nonstop, giving her no chance to speak. She was just looking for something; what was wrong with him? He was such a strange person.

Xu Chaoyan glanced at the person in front of her. He had a handsome face that was flushed and a face that was as cold as frost. She didn't know how she had offended him, but he had become even more handsome.

This man is already very charming now, and he will surely become even more attractive as he gets older. No wonder he captivated people to the point of using every means to marry him. Indeed, it has always been the same since ancient times; male beauty can be a trap!

When Meng Jiuhe saw her staring at him intently, his expression darkened even more. The garment he had just thrown over was barely enough to cover her body, and her bare shoulders were faintly visible, especially her snow-white skin, which appeared even more radiant and fair under the dim light.

His gaze involuntarily lingered on her for a second, then his hand involuntarily reached out to tidy her up: "Indecent and immoral."

He left a message and then hurried away, the door slamming shut with a loud bang.

After Meng Jiuhe went out, he leaned against the wall, panting heavily. He didn't know what was wrong with him; he had just been possessed. He could still feel the warmth left on his hands.

This made him even more agitated. He slapped himself in the face to clear his mind a bit and stared blankly at the pitch-black night sky outside.

A moment later, I felt a bit stuffy, and my clothes on my back were soaked with sweat. They felt sticky and uncomfortable.

The weather has been getting hotter lately, so he went to the yard to fetch a bucket of cool water and rinsed himself off. Seeing that his younger sister's room had already turned off the lights, he went back inside as well.

Through the open door, he saw the dim light inside flickering on and off. He tiptoed back into the room and cleaned up around the bathtub, deciding to wait until tomorrow to use the water.

Xu Chaoyan was sleeping soundly in bed, probably because it was too hot. She was wearing thin clothes with the belt tied loosely, and the skin on her neck was faintly visible. His throat was a little dry.

He picked up the earthenware pot from the table, gulped down a few mouthfuls of water, and then put it back on the table with a "thump".

When he lay down on the bed, he remembered seeing the purplish-red mark earlier. A strange feeling welled up in his heart, and he sighed softly. He decided to find the medicinal wine his father had left behind and rub some on it for her.

Xu Chaoyan rolled over and put her legs on him. Meng Jiu was stunned for a moment, and took the hit hard. He didn't know why this woman was always so restless when she slept. Meng Jiu groaned. The kick was solid. He glanced at the woman sleeping soundly, sighed silently, and turned off the light to go to sleep.

He gently moved her legs down and placed them aside, then picked up the blankets and covered her front and back before resting.

"Sister-in-law, are you up yet? It's getting late, we'll be late and people will scold us." Meng Jiuxia called out anxiously from outside.

Meng Jiu and Rou Rou, their eyes still a little blurry, glanced at the sky outside. It was still early, and their little sister was calling from outside. He quietly put on his shoes, got out of bed, went over, opened the door, and gestured to her to keep quiet.

"Big brother, I'm sorry to have woken you up. Look how late it is, and your wife is still sleeping!" Meng Jiuxia stood there awkwardly, holding a basin of warm water.

Meng Jiu took the basin of water from her, yawned, and then said, "You were all so tired yesterday, why don't you skip it today? Why don't you rest inside?"

Meng Jiuxia shook his head like a rattle drum: "No, if we go too late there won't be any work to do. I'm not tired, big brother, you don't need to worry."

Meng Jiuhe originally intended to ask them what they were doing yesterday and what the red and purple marks on their shoulders were. He had planned to rub some medicinal wine on them last night, but then he remembered that he hadn't brought it with him last time and couldn't find it when cleaning the house.

Meng Jiuxia looked furtive. Her sister-in-law had specifically instructed her yesterday that her older brother couldn't know about this, or he would worry.

"Brother, this job is very simple, it just takes a little longer. Don't worry too much. Go back and rest for a while. I've already made breakfast and it's in the pot. You can eat it when you get up."

Before he could ask any more questions, Meng Jiuxia had already run away.

Xu Chaoyan rubbed her eyes and sat up, stretched and moved around a bit, then went to the table, picked up the ceramic pot and poured a few mouthfuls of water down her throat.

Before Meng Jiuhe could stop her, he swallowed the words he was about to say that he had drunk this yesterday.

His face flushed again, and he walked over and placed the wooden basin on the shelf: "You're awake."

Xu Chaoyan looked at him strangely: "What's wrong with you? Why is your face red so early in the morning? Are you feeling unwell?"

After he finished speaking, Meng Jiuhe felt a warm sensation on his forehead, followed by a muttered voice: "It's nothing!"

Meng Jiuhe stepped back and pointed at the basin of water, saying, "Your little sister is calling you to get up from outside. You're sleeping so soundly, like a pig. You wouldn't even know if someone lifted you up and threw you into the river."

Xu Chaoyan was relieved to see that he didn't have a fever. She hoped that nothing else would go wrong, as the family didn't have much money left. He had finally regained some color in his face, and she hoped he wouldn't get sick again.

She glanced at Meng Jiuhe a few steps away and said, "If I were a pig, I would be a cute pig. Pigs are so happy, eating and sleeping all they do. Ordinary people can't afford that kind of life."

"You've got a whole bunch of fallacies," Meng Jiuhe's mocking voice came over.

When Xu Chaoyan finished tidying up and came out, her sister-in-law had already prepared a coarse flour steamed bun.

"Sister-in-law, hurry up! I just heard some noise from next door. Those people have already gone over there. We need to get there quickly so we don't give people something to talk about."

Xu Chaoyan took the hard steamed bun and took a bite. It hurt her mouth, and she finally managed to swallow it.

Meng Jiuhe then handed over a bowl of warm water: "Eat slowly. Why don't you just skip it today? I saw you came back so late, looking so tired. How could I bear to see you like this?"

Xu Chaoyan glanced at the handsome face of the man in front of her and forced a smile: "It's okay, I'll work for a few more days and then come back. When I get back, I'll fix up the house. It's going to be the rainy season soon, what if the walls collapse after being soaked in water?"
