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

Chapter 12 Not bad
Zhang Zhaodi looked at what Zhou Wangshu was carrying and looked at him with suspicion.

"Did you really catch him?"

Zhou Wangshu's eyes were clear, and he nodded sincerely: "Of course, Auntie."

"Mom, Wangshu is amazing." Su Yaoguang boasted. "Wangshu, show me."

Zhou Wangshu took out his slingshot, aimed it at the sky, and with a bang, a bird was shot down.

Zhang Zhaodi's expression softened a bit, and she said indifferently, "It's okay. I've made back the money I spent on buying him and getting his medicine."

"Aunt, I will do more work in the future and will never let you do a business that loses money."

"That's pretty much it."

Su Yaoguang winked at Zhou Wangshu, who received the signal and immediately began to settle the rabbit in his hand.

Zhang Zhaodi planted the flowers that Su Yaoguang brought back around the yard.

Su Yaoguang continued to make rouge and powder.

At the current rate of progress, the first batch of goods will be ready in a few days. Whether this business can succeed will be revealed on the next market day.

In the evening, they cooked braised chicken nuggets, and the aroma spread out, making the neighbors dizzy. The naughty child next door clamored for chicken, and was slapped by the adults. The sound of his crying spread out, and everyone in the village knew that Zhang Zhaodi and her daughter had eaten chicken again, and this time the chicken they ate was caught by her husband, Shiwen.

Zhong Lanhua entered the yard carrying a basket of vegetables and saw Xiao Yanci chopping firewood there. Jiang Yihan handed him some water, coughed lightly, and looked at the two of them unkindly.

Jiang Yiyi saw Zhong Lanhua coming back, and she walked over to her in small steps. She took the basket from her and said softly, "Mom, why hasn't Big Brother arrived yet?"

"Go pick him up at the village entrance. He should be here soon." Zhong Lanhua glared at Xiao Yanci.

"Okay, I'll go wait for Big Brother now." Jiang Yihuan said, and then she pleaded for Xiao Yanci. "Mom, Brother Xiao has been working for a long time, let him take a break!"

"If he doesn't do it, should we two weak women do it? I bought him to work, not to enjoy himself." Zhong Lanhua put her hands on her hips and cursed fiercely.

Jiang Yihuan's eyes were red, and she choked with grievance: "Mom, why are you so fierce? I didn't say anything wrong. Brother Xiao is a human being, how could he work all the time?"

When Xiao Yanci saw Jiang Yihan being scolded and cried by Zhong Lanhua, he hated Zhong Lanhua even more, but at the same time, he felt even more sorry for Jiang Yihan.

How could Yi Huan, such a good girl, end up with such a mother? Well, if doing more work can make Yi Huan suffer less scolding, then let him do more!
"Miss Yi Huan, it's okay. I'm not tired. I can chop for a while longer."

Jiang Yihuan looked at him distressedly: "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Xiao."

Jiang Yihuan wiped her tears and walked out. As she left, she glanced back in Xiao Yanci's direction, her lips curled up. She strode away, her eyes full of mockery.

All men in the world are really the same, so boring.

At the village entrance, Jiang Yihuan saw a thin figure, walked up to him, took the bookcase from his back, and called out, "Brother."

The man nodded coldly, handed her the bookcase, shook his sore arm, and said nothing with a cold face.

Jiang Yihui didn't say anything, and Jiang Yihan didn't dare to say anything either.

She had been afraid of her brother since she was little, and whenever she and her brother had a conflict, her mother would never side with her, but always with her brother. The Jiang siblings walked home one after the other. When they passed by Su Yaoguang's house, they smelled a fragrance in the air. Jiang Yihui glanced in the direction of Su Yaoguang's door.

Jiang Yihuan took this opportunity to chat with Jiang Yihui: "Brother, Su Yaoguang bought a live-in husband."

Jiang Yihui frowned: "She's only fifteen, how can she be so eager to get married?"

"Her grandmother wanted to marry her to the Su family's aunt's stupid son. In order to settle down quickly, she asked a human trafficker and was told that she wanted to buy a man to be her son-in-law..."

Jiang Yihuan told Jiang Yihui about what had happened recently. She talked about other families and then started talking about her own family. She talked about Xiao Yanci, whom her mother had deliberately bought, and how Xiao Yanci had been educated.

Jiang Yihui heard that his family had also bought a man, but only to work for him, and his frown softened. When Jiang Yihuan mentioned that the Xiao man was literate, a flash of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he said sarcastically, "If he had truly been educated, would he have been sold? He must have only known a few words, and he's claiming to be educated to boost his status. Only women like you would fall for that."

Jiang Yihuan did not dare to resist.

As soon as Jiang Yihui entered the room, Zhong Lanhua came over excitedly: "My son is back. He has worked hard studying. He has lost weight..."

Jiang Yihuan curled her lips.

Did he lose weight? How come she didn't notice?

All the money she and her mother earned was spent on her brother. His annual dowry and the three hundred coins he had to spend every month were so much that he almost went blind trying to earn this money.

Jiang Yihui saw Xiao Yanci chopping wood at a glance and was a little surprised when he saw his appearance. After all, this face was still very good.

But soon, he thought of the two women in the house, and it seemed unsafe for such a good-looking man to stay at home.

"Come in with me." Jiang Yihui called Zhong Lanhua and Jiang Yihan into the room.

Xiao Yanci frowned.

The only 'male owner' of the house seemed hostile to him.

He stood outside the door, listening to the conversation inside.

"Why should we sell him? He can help us with a lot of work. Hui'er, your sister and I are weak women after all. Having a man to help with the heavy work will make us feel much more relaxed during this period." Zhong Lanhua was unhappy.

The most important thing is that everyone in the village knows that her family has a slave, and he has been showing off for a few days. If she sells him, people will think that her family cannot afford such a servant.

She now had a servant to command, and the women in the village were envious. Most importantly, the servant she bought was much better than the live-in son-in-law Zhang Zhaodi had bought.

"You two women are at home, and he, a grown servant, is living under the same roof with you. It will be bad for your reputation if word gets out. Yi Huan hasn't even proposed marriage yet, do you want her to be criticized?"

Jiang Yihuan said weakly, "We are upright and have nothing to fear from others. Brother, don't sell him out. He's really pitiful."

"It's not as serious as you say." Zhong Lanhua said, "Okay, you just came back, you must be starving, right? Huan'er, go with mom to make something delicious for your brother. The Su family had chicken today, so let's have braised pork today."

Jiang Yihuan agreed immediately: "Okay, Mom, let's go make something delicious for Big Brother!"

It was a rare opportunity for her mother to do something that benefited her, and she couldn't let her eldest brother interfere. Her eldest brother was at the academy all day, even bringing dirty clothes home for them to wash. Of course, he had no idea how hard they worked at home. Ever since Xiao Yanci came along, at least someone had taken on the heavy lifting.
