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

Chapter 13 Beating
Jiang Yihui opened the door and said to Xiao Yanci in the yard, "Come in."

Xiao Yanci had already heard what Jiang Yihui said to Zhong Lanhua and her daughter. Seeing that this man was instigating the mother and daughter to sell him out, he felt resentful towards him.

However, one must bow down under the eaves. He was the only male in the Jiang family, so he was clearly the head of the family. He couldn't afford to offend him; if they fell out, he would be the one to suffer.

Xiao Yanci followed Jiang Yihui into the room.

"From the beginning until now, you don't seem to have greeted me at all. It seems that you don't have the awareness of being a servant." Jiang Yihui sat above, looking at Xiao Yanci coldly.

Xiao Yanci lowered his eyes and bowed: "Greetings, sir."

"Shouldn't a servant kneel when he sees his master?" Jiang Yihui snorted coldly. "My mother is easy to talk to, and my sister is kind. You are so unruly. Are you trying to bully your master?"

Xiao Yanci clenched his fists.

A country boy, who had read a few days of books and was lucky enough to buy him, actually thought he was so noble. The third and fourth rank officials he had met before had to fawn over him, so who was he to expect him to kneel down?

Xiao Yanci really wanted to slap him and tell him loudly who he was. But he couldn't. He was now the descendant of a criminal. The fact that he was here was because a loyal servant had taken his place. He was here as a loyal servant, otherwise he would have been a corpse by now.

He knelt down, suppressing his hatred, and said with forbearance: "Xiao Ci greets you, sir."

"Which Xiao?"

"The Xiao in 'I met a scout at Xiaoguan, and learned that the Protector General was at Yanran'."

"Which word?"

Xiao Yanci originally wanted to say "The shadow is divided into thousands of miles of wild geese, and the roots are scattered into nine autumns of weeds", but then he changed his mind and thought that his name could not be revealed, so he changed his words.

"A new song and a glass of wine."

"Xiao Ci. You look like you've actually been educated. How many years did you study?"

Xiao Yanci replied, "Two years. My family fell into poverty and I was forced to sell myself into slavery."

"Since you can read, you can take care of the writing for the next few days! Of course, you also have to do the housework. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Xiao Yanci squeezed his palm.

From outside, Zhong Lanhua's voice called for dinner. Jiang Yihui walked out to the lobby. He saw three people's bowls and chopsticks on the table. He knew that Xiao Yanci had not come to the table, and he was satisfied.

"I just tested him a few times, and he's certainly a man who's been reading for a couple of days. I'll need him to help me with my writing these days, so he'll have to stay in my room for an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon."

When Zhong Lanhua heard that Jiang Yihui had passed the exam, she felt quite proud.

Her son must have been very well-educated, so he knew how to test and teach another educated person. She was more fortunate than Zhang Zhaodi. She was better off than her when she was young. Even though she was also a widow, she had a son by her side, unlike her, who only had an ugly little girl.

Jiang Yihui came back and the dinner was particularly sumptuous.

Xiao Yanci sat in his woodshed, holding a bowl filled with corn porridge.

"Brother Xiao." Jiang Yihuan quietly pushed the door open and came in. "I secretly took a chicken drumstick, you should eat it quickly to replenish your body."

Xiao Yanci stared blankly at the chicken leg she handed over.

"Hurry up and eat! Don't dawdle! Or you'll be discovered." Jiang Yihuan was so anxious that she lowered her voice and said, "I told my mother and brother that I was going to the toilet, so I have to go back."

"Huan'er, thank you." Xiao Yanci looked at her with emotion. "You are my only comfort."

"Don't say that. You will definitely get better and better in the future. I believe in you." Jiang Yihuan looked at him with heartache.

After Jiang Yihuan left, Xiao Yanci ate the chicken leg in small bites.

The chicken drumstick had no flavor other than salt, but to Xiao Yanci, it was the most delicious food in the world. He thought he would never forget this chicken drumstick in his life.

The Jiang family reunited, but Jiang Yihui, known for his serious nature, disliked noise during meals, so there were many rules, making the meal incredibly dull. In contrast, the Su family enjoyed a warm and joyful meal of braised chicken. With the last piece of chicken left, Su Yaoguang passed it to Zhang Zhaodi, who then passed it back to her.

"Look at your body, don't you? Eat more to replenish your body." Zhang Zhaodi ate and drank her fill, and suddenly all her worries seemed insignificant. Even though her daughter had used the little money she had left to buy various materials, and now only had enough left to live on for a month, she still felt that life like this was more hopeful.

Money can be earned again, but as long as my daughter is happy, that is priceless.

Looking at this boy again, he seems quite pleasing to the eye. If nothing else, having a man at home is indeed different.

On the second day, Su Yaoguang continued to take Zhou Wangshu to the mountain to pick flower petals.

This time, in addition to flower petals, she also needed a few herbs. If she added them to the cream, it would have the effect of repairing scars and whitening the skin.

Her knowledge of herbal medicine was taught to her by a physician sister she befriended after becoming the top scholar's wife in her previous life. That sister was exceptionally gifted in medicine and later entered the palace, becoming the imperial physician. She died young, and it's unknown whether she ever fulfilled her dream of becoming the world's foremost physician.

Zhou Wangshu looked at Su Yaoguang and saw that she suddenly became depressed. He felt that this person was weird.

Suddenly, he realized something was wrong.

Zhou Wangshu held Su Yaoguang's shoulders and whispered, "Don't move."

"What's wrong?" Su Yaoguang was frightened by him.

Zhou Wangshu slowly turned around and saw a big wild boar standing not far away.

His eyes narrowed, and he said to Su Yaoguang, "When I say run later, you must run down the mountain with all your strength."

"Don't scare me, what happened?"

"There's a wild boar behind us, and it's very large."

"I only have a sickle in my hand..."

"I only have a slingshot in my hand..."

Seeing that the two men did not move, the wild boar became impatient and pounced on them with a roar.

Zhou Wangshu yelled, "Run."

Su Yaoguang ran away.

Her physical strength is now much stronger than in her previous life. Not only is she much stronger, she can also run faster than before.

She ran all the way, and after a while she realized that something was missing.

its not right!
Where is the cheap husband she bought for ten cents?
She looked back and saw Zhou Wangshu, whose face was pale because of his injuries, lagging far behind her.

Zhou Wangshu hadn't expected Su Yaoguang to be so capable and run so fast. She was no stranger to country life, much more capable than those delicate young ladies in the capital.

Zhou Wangshu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He did not die at the hands of those thieves, nor at the hands of human traffickers, but at the hands of an unknown wild boar. When the wild boar was killed and eaten, it was also eaten in disguise.

Zhou Wangshu couldn't run anymore.

No more running.

The wild boar lunged at him and charged at him.

Zhou Wangshu aimed his slingshot at the wild boar's eyes.

The wild boar screamed and paused in pain.

Just as he paused, Su Yaoguang ran back, carried Zhou Wangshu on his back and ran away.

Zhou Wangshu: “…”
