Farmer girl swaps husbands: buys a sickly villain and pampers him

Chapter 115 Watching a Show
Qian Yongqiang took Jiang Yihuan's hand and said, "Huan'er, you know how much I like you. As long as you marry me, I will not let you suffer. I will have good food and drink every day, and I will have servants to serve you."

"No." Jiang Yihuan let go of Qian Yongqiang. "Brother Qian, I can't marry you now."

"Why?" Qian Yongqiang looked at her sadly.

"Because she's marrying me." Xiao Yanci walked over, standing in front of Jiang Yihuan, looking at Qian Yongqiang unhappily. "When I pass the imperial examination, I'll marry her. She'll become an official's wife. I'll fight for her to have an imperial decree. That's something you can't give me, so why are you fighting with me?"

Zhong Lanhua's eyes flashed.

She had been tempted by the large amount of betrothal gifts, but Xiao Ci's words made her waver.

If 'Xiao Ci' could really pass the imperial examination, her daughter would become an official's wife. Wouldn't that be much more noble than Zhang Zhaodi and her daughter?

Her daughter is a noble lady, so she can also be the old lady.

Thinking about it this way, this little betrothal gift really wasn't much. For the sake of long-term planning, I should still marry my daughter to 'Xiao Ci'.

"Huan'er, are you going to marry him?" Qian Yongqiang pointed at Xiao Yanci and questioned Jiang Yihuan.

Jiang Yihuan covered her mouth, tears dripping down her face: "Don't force me... wuwu..."

"Huan'er, how is this forcing you? Do you like him or me? Are you willing to marry him or me?" Qian Yongqiang's eyes were red as he looked at her anxiously.

Jiang Yihuan looked at Qian Yongqiang, then at Xiao Yanci, and said awkwardly, "You are all very good and important friends of mine. I'm still young and really haven't thought about those things. Can't we wait a little longer?"

"Mr. Qian, you heard it too. My daughter doesn't want to get married yet. How about this? You wait for two more years, and then we'll see if we're destined to be together." Zhong Lanhua tried to smooth things over.

Su Yaoguang reached out to the side: "Do you have any melon seeds?"

A handful of melon seeds fell into her palm.

She turned around to thank him and found that it was Zhou Wangshu who had returned from outside.

"Wangshu, why are you back so early today?"

"I skipped the chess class at the academy." Zhou Wangshu said.

Zhang Zhaodi said angrily, "We have to pay so much tuition every year. Wouldn't it be a big loss if we skipped a class? No more skipping classes. You have to attend even if you don't want to. You stay in there. At least you can learn something."

"Mom, are you willing to go to class?" Su Yaoguang spoke for Zhou Wangshu.

"I'm different from him. I'm a woman, and I'm so old..." Zhang Zhaodi felt guilty.

"Have you forgotten that those people from the Su family were able to get away with it because they couldn't read? If you couldn't read, you wouldn't even know that someone tricked you into signing a contract to sell your body. Didn't you promise me that you would learn to read?" Su Yaoguang said, "Auntie has learned quite a few words, right, auntie?"

Zhang Yingdi said embarrassedly, "Your uncle has taught me a few things from time to time over the years, and I have learned some of the simple ones."

"Auntie is too modest." Su Yaoguang said, "When I went to see Auntie yesterday, she was practicing calligraphy. Her handwriting was very good. If Auntie wants to be an accountant one day, that's no problem."

"I understand. I'll learn it." Zhang Zhaodi said with a headache.

"Godmother, I'll teach you." Jiang Jing said, "Believe me, learning to read is really beneficial."

Zhou Wangshu reminded Su Yaoguang: "The show across the street is about to end."

Su Yaoguang then remembered that they were here to watch a show.

Jiang Yihan cried and said a few words to Qian Yongqiang to delay time. The latter left with his people in disappointment.

"Brother Xiao, am I very bad? Am I a bad woman?" Jiang Yihan cried, her body weak and she slid to the ground.

Xiao Yanci hugged her and carried her into the store: "Huan'er, you are not, you are the kindest girl."

Su Yaoguang: "..."

It was no mistake that she lost to Jiang Yihuan. Zhou Wangshu noticed that her expression was not right and asked, "What's wrong?"

"If it was Jiang Yihuan who bought you, would you like her?"

Zhou Wangshu: "...What a vicious curse."

Su Yaoguang was amused by his strange expression.

"I'm asking you seriously, so you give me a serious answer."

"She's hanging on to that Qian Yongqiang, saying things that are half-truths. She doesn't dare respond directly to Xiao Ci because she's worried he won't pass the imperial examination, leaving her with nothing. When Xiao Ci does pass, she'll certainly make her feelings clear. If I were to fall into the hands of such a fickle woman, I'd rather be a lifelong slave than have anything else to do with her."

“It turns out there are still people with eyes.”

"Yaoguang, Chen Buyu asked me to tell you something today. He said the girl from the dance studio wants you to deliver a batch of goods."

"Okay, do you have a list?"

"Yes." Zhou Wangshu handed her the list. "Pick up the items and I'll deliver them."

"Is it convenient for you?"

"I'll just go find Chen Buyu and hand it over to him. What's the inconvenience?"

"Fine!"

The sky cleared for a few days, then dark clouds began to gather again. Su Yaoguang gave Master Tang more money and asked him to find more people and complete the work within three days.

She just wanted to add a few new rooms, and as long as there were enough materials and manpower, a few days would be enough.

Su Yaoguang came out from the backyard and saw Zhang Zhaodi changing into new clothes and putting on exquisite makeup before going out. Alarm bells rang in her heart.

"Mom, where are you going?"

"Today is my friend's birthday, and we've agreed to go to the opera," Zhang Zhaodi said. "My dear, I'm going to take a day off today. You guys should work hard, and I'll do more work tomorrow."

"Just rest, Mom. We can handle this. But didn't you say a few days ago that you'd invite your friend over to meet us? How about inviting her over today?"

"Okay, I'll ask her later."

Seeing that Zhang Zhaodi's eyes were clear, Su Yaoguang responded openly, and the doubt in her heart disappeared.

Maybe she is overthinking it!

Her mother probably just went to meet friends.

Su Yaoguang has three appointments today, one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening.

Therefore, she will be very busy.

However, when she finished a full body skin care package for an important customer in the morning, she saw Zhou Wangshu waiting for her outside the door. When he saw her appear, he strode towards her.

"Why are you here?"

"I just saw my mother," Zhou Wangshu said. "She was in the theater, listening to a play. There was a woman around her age next to her."

"That person should be my mother's friend." Su Yaoguang said, "Didn't my mother say that she recently made a friend and they had a good chat. They have a good relationship."

"Chen Buyu and I were watching an opera next door. I wanted to go and say hello to Mother, but I was worried she might be uncomfortable, so I didn't go. Mother left first, and the woman didn't rush to leave. Then someone else entered the room."
