During famine years, I had a divination slip in hand, and my whole family ate chicken, duck, fish, a

A young man with fair skin, wearing a worn-out robe, but with a mean and sinister look in his eyes, strolled over.

He was followed by two men who looked like servants.

Ye Qingqing couldn't help but sneer. What a coincidence?

This is an "old acquaintance" of hers!

That's Fang Jincheng, the "handsome man" in the eyes of the original owner who was a love-struck simp, and who cried and begged to marry him.

The original owner emptied his family's pockets to send him to the academy, but this guy cheated on him, kissing other girls while complaining that the original owner was a country bumpkin.

Enraged, the original owner threatened to jump into the river, and actually did, but Fang Jincheng ignored her completely!

This matter caused quite a stir, and Ye Qingqing, who had transmigrated from another era, was made the scapegoat.

Fortunately, Ye Qingqing wasn't love-struck; she not only dumped him but also made a scene at the academy, spreading his shameful secrets.

I heard that this scumbag was later expelled from the academy for his bad behavior and his student status was revoked.

Later, he found a distant relative in town to work as their accountant.

Ye Qingqing also felt sorry for that distant relative. Taking in such a person to do things, who knows when he might be bitten back!

"I wondered who was shouting in the street, but it turned out to be Fang the accountant."

Seeing Fang Jincheng staring intently at her, Ye Qingqing sneered and didn't even give him a second glance.

He continued to tidy up his vegetable basket.

Fang Jincheng was taken aback by her attitude, and a hint of annoyance flashed across his face.

He is now working as an accountant for a wealthy man surnamed Qian in town. Yesterday, he heard that someone was selling wild vegetables at exorbitant prices in front of Fushunlou Restaurant, which caused a scramble. He never expected that it was this country girl who broke off her engagement with him!

I came here today to take a look, and sure enough... this girl not only didn't starve to death, but she's also dressed well, and even... looks more beautiful?

This caused the burning jealousy in his heart to surge up.

He had long heard from his relatives in Kaoshantun that this girl was making a fortune and was quite remarkable!

But ever since the engagement was called off, this girl has become ruthless and cruel, and she ruined his promising future with her own hands!

If Fang Jincheng doesn't avenge this grudge, he'll have lived a wasted life!

"Ye Qingqing, don't push your luck!"

Fang Jincheng sneered and deliberately raised his voice so that everyone around could hear, "I was just trying to be nice to you, and this is how you talk to your ex-fiancé?"

It seems they've been living too comfortably and have forgotten their own limitations!

Several passersby were drawn by his voice and stopped to watch the commotion.

Ye Qingqing straightened up, casually brushed the dirt off her hands, and looked at him with a half-smile.

"Ex-fiancé? Fang Jincheng, you're shameless. You lied to me about supporting your studies, and when you were kissing another girl behind a woodpile, didn't you think of yourself as someone else's fiancé?"

Before he could finish speaking, the surrounding onlookers, their faces full of disdain, pointed at Fang Jincheng and whispered among themselves.

"So he's a heartless man!"

"Pah! What a fucking shameless person!"

"That kind of person, who cheats and swindles, deserves it! Luckily, that girl was smart enough to think straight..."

……

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Fang Jincheng bristled as if someone had stepped on his tail, his fur standing on end. The strange looks from those around him made him feel like he was being pricked by needles. He gritted his teeth and said...

"I, Fang Jincheng, am a scholar, how could I stoop to the level of a country bumpkin like you!"

You're nothing but a country bumpkin, a lowly vegetable vendor! How dare you spout such nonsense in front of me!

He deliberately made loud sarcastic remarks, trying to provoke Ye Qingqing and embarrass her.

Ye Qingqing chuckled, "Get lost!"

I don't want to talk to him!

I saw a pile of dog poop on the road. The dog poop was yelling, "Come and step on me!" Did she actually step on it?

I find it disgusting to even look at her!

Ye Qingqing ignored him, which made Fang Jincheng think she was scared. He felt a little smug and said with increasing disdain,

"I thought it was something rare, but it's just some cheap wild vegetables. Ye Qingqing, you can only fool those nouveau riche who have no discernment!"

"A country girl like you, unwanted by anyone, can only make a living by selling these low-class things! Haha!"

People around started whispering again.

A country girl, and a vegetable seller at that, is simply not presentable.

Instead of being angry, Ye Qingqing burst out laughing, her eyes filled with pity.

She simply stopped what she was doing, crossed her arms, and sneered.

"Fang Jincheng, I advise you to get lost right now! I don't want to talk to you right now, but you'll regret it when I do!"

"I'm leaving?"

Fang Jincheng laughed loudly, then scoffed disdainfully, "Ye Qingqing, we haven't settled our score yet! You've ruined my chances of passing the imperial examinations, do you think I'll let you off so easily?"

Before she could finish speaking, a tall and strong figure blocked Ye Qingqing's path.

Those deep, ruthless eyes, like those of a hawk, swept across Fang Jincheng's face, causing him to tremble involuntarily. The back of his neck felt cold as he was stared at by those slightly narrowed eyes.

He had been beaten by this guy before; when the punch landed on him, the pain was excruciating!

With this guy around, Fang Jincheng didn't even have the mind to humiliate Ye Qingqing anymore. All he wanted to do now was to slip away as fast as he could!

"Young lady, why are you so late?"

Just then, the local gentry who had bought wild vegetables yesterday came out of Fushunlou Restaurant. He immediately saw Ye Qingqing and quickly went up to her.

"I thought you'd taken the deposit and weren't coming!"

Ye Qingqing raised an eyebrow slightly. "Sorry, the mountain was blocked by heavy snow last night, so I arrived late. Brother, please don't joke around. The deposit is only a few taels of silver. I was counting on you to buy my vegetables worth hundreds of taels of silver with a wave of your hand!"

The squire found her words amusing and burst into laughter.

"Such a young age, yet he has a very strong will."

"A few hundred taels of silver? Wild vegetables? Hahaha..."

Fang Jincheng suddenly seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, and pointed at the carriage disdainfully, saying,

"Ye Qingqing, don't you even think before you brag? You think your cart of shabby wild vegetables can sell for hundreds of taels of silver? Even robbing a money lender wouldn't be as impressive as you. Why don't you just go rob someone!"

The harsh sarcasm made the country squire frown, and he looked him up and down with displeasure, saying...

"What are you?"

Fang Jincheng's heart skipped a beat, afraid of offending someone.

"No, no, sir, you misunderstand. This girl is mine..."

The local gentry scoffed, "Who gave you the right to interrupt me?"

"Whether he's bragging or not, just ask this guy."

Ye Qingqing pointed to the local gentry next to her, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Brother, see? They don't believe you can afford vegetables that cost one tael of silver per pound. They look down on you!"

Before he finished speaking, Ye Dazhuang unconsciously curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

This girl!

The local gentry frowned immediately. "Really? How come I didn't know that I couldn't even afford vegetables that cost one tael of silver per pound?"

"No, no, sir, please don't listen to her nonsense, that's not what I meant!"

Fang Jincheng panicked immediately, bowing and scraping as he explained, "I didn't mean any harm to you..."

Seeing him addressing her as "Master" and bowing obsequiously, Ye Qingqing frowned in disgust.
