Xiao Jiuchen lowered his head and carefully read a document, then slowly put it aside.
He raised his wrist slightly, revealing his strong and honey-colored wrist.
He turned his head to look at the inkstone next to him, tapped his chin lightly, and signaled Luo Qingqing to grind the ink.
Luo Qingqing followed orders.
Xiao Jiuchen took a document and continued to read it, saying, "Xiao Luoqing, if you're feeling amorous, go find a girl yourself and don't meddle in my business."
Luo Qingqing couldn't help feeling discouraged when she saw Xiao Jiuchen kept silent about his misogyny.
She was worried during this period.
One reason was that she was afraid that Xiao Jiuchen would discover that she was a woman and then drive her out of the village.
The second is that they worry that if they fail to complete their mission of having children, their family will face disaster.
Xiao Jiuchen is a man who is open and honest in his actions, but he keeps silent about the fact that he hates women.
Luo Qingqing had thought about finding out the inside story of Xiao Jiuchen's misogyny from others, but no one in the village knew about it, so she couldn't find out even if she wanted to.
She is a woman after all, and one day she will regain her female identity.
Even if she had no intention of having a child for Xiao Jiuchen, she couldn't always present herself as a man.
She didn't know the root cause of Xiao Jiuchen's misogyny, so she couldn't help him resolve it.
He couldn't untie the knot in his heart.
If he ever found out her identity as a woman, he would probably kill her in anger.
Then her wish to leave a good impression in front of Xiao Jiuchen and then save her family will ultimately be just a dream.
Luo Qingqing had just ground the ink when Miao Xiaohua's gentle voice came from outside.
"Luo Qing, Luo Qing..."
She wanted to know whether Xiao Jiuchen had drunk the lotus seed soup she had made.
She had finally begged Liu Sanniang to give her some brown sugar to make it.
Luo Qingqing responded, "Coming."
She cleared the bowls and spoons on the table, stood up and walked out.
Xiao Jiuchen's somewhat cold voice came from behind: "No women are allowed to approach my cabin from now on."
Luo Qingqing's body stiffened slightly.
She knew that Xiao Jiuchen was still angry about vomiting after accidentally drinking lotus seed soup.
She replied, "Yes."
Luo Qingqing walked out of the door, and Miao Xiaohua looked at her expectantly.
Luo Qingqing spoke frankly: "The village chief drank the lotus seed soup, but he vomited immediately. He probably didn't like it."
Luo Qingqing knew that Miao Xiaohua was completely focused on Xiao Jiuchen.
Sometimes she really wanted to persuade this silly girl.
Not to mention Miao Xiaohua, even if a fairy was placed in front of Xiao Jiuchen, Xiao Jiuchen would probably kick her away in disgust.
Miao Xiaohua looked at the empty bowl and said in disbelief, "How is that possible? Chef Zhang in the kitchen clearly said that the village chief loves sweets. I even added extra brown sugar to this bowl of lotus seed soup."
Luo Qingqing pulled Miao Xiaohua a little further away and couldn't help but sigh as she advised, "Xiaohua, everyone in the village knows that the village chief doesn't like women. Why are you doing this? There are many promising young men in the village, and they all like you very much."
Miao Xiaohua's face turned pale and she shook her head slightly.
Her eyes slowly turned red.
She looked at Luo Qingqing and said seriously, "Luo Qing, you don't know, my family used to live a relatively well-off life.
Although there have been disasters in recent years, our family can still barely get by.
Later, I went to the town to buy cloth and was noticed by a wealthy businessman who insisted on taking me as his concubine.
I don't want to, and my family doesn't want me to be someone's concubine.
That wealthy businessman bribed a few thugs, who not only beat my parents and elder brother to death, but also stole our food and money.
I escaped secretly, and when I reached Qinglan Town, I couldn't walk anymore.
I was thinking of selling myself to a wealthy family to seek safety.
Now I have been brought back by the third village chief. This village is very good. It is not like other villages that are cruel and ruthless.
Logically speaking, my life now is pretty good compared to my previous life on the streets.
But whenever I think of my family being persecuted by wealthy businessmen, I resent the injustice of the world.
I made up my mind that I would never be a servant in my life, I would be a superior person.
I don't want my fate to be controlled by others, I want to fight for myself.
I know that the chieftain doesn't like women and even despises them.
Someone in the village said that there was once a woman who boldly pulled the village chief's hand, and the village chief immediately drew his sword and cut off the woman's arm.
I have heard all these. I like the leader of the village, not only because of his identity, but also because of him as a person.
Men always like women. As long as my feelings are genuine, the village chief will one day see my sincerity."
When Miao Xiaohua said this, she did not deliberately lower her voice, but spoke quite loudly, as if she wanted Xiao Jiuchen in the room to hear it on purpose.
Luo Qingqing didn't know what Xiao Jiuchen would feel after hearing what Miao Xiaohua said.
She herself, on the other hand, felt a little admiration for Miao Xiaohua.
She couldn't say anything to dissuade Miao Xiaohua, nor could she do anything to help her.
She thought for a long time, and finally said, "I hope you can get what you want one day."
Miao Xiaohua looked up and smiled slightly.
She looked towards the door of the wooden house where Xiao Jiuchen was, as if she had already seen Xiao Jiuchen smiling at her.
Luo Qingqing saw Miao Xiaohua's happy expression, and although she felt reluctant, she still told her Xiao Jiuchen's order.
"The village chief said that women are not allowed to approach his house from now on. Xiaohua, you'd better not come here again. If the village chief sees you, he will blame you."
Miao Xiaohua, who was originally smiling happily, turned pale again after hearing Luo Qingqing's words.
Her lips trembled as she spoke: "Did the village chief really say that?"
Luo Qingqing nodded.
A look of sorrow welled up on Miao Xiaohua's face, and she whispered, "The village chief is disgusted with me."
In the village, she is the most attentive person to come here.
It was obvious that the chief's order was aimed at her.
She originally thought that after her efforts over this period of time, the village chief had become somewhat interested in her.
Just when Luo Qingqing didn't know how to comfort Miao Xiaohua, Xiaoshuang suddenly rushed over from not far away.
He rushed up to the two of them, pushed Luo Qingqing away fiercely, and pulled Miao Xiaohua behind him.
Luo Qingqing staggered after being pushed by him. She took a few steps back before she could stand firm.
Xiao Shuang glared at Luo Qingqing fiercely: "Luo Qing, don't be so ungrateful. Even if Xiaohua likes you, you can't bully her like this."
He accidentally passed by and saw his beloved Xiaohua and the brat Luo Qing talking. He couldn't help but stop and look at them.
He was standing far away and could not hear the conversation between Miao Xiaohua and Luo Qing, but he could still see clearly Miao Xiaohua's expression, which changed from happy to sad.
He likes Xiaohua and he doesn't want her to get hurt.
Luo Qingqing looked at Xiao Shuang's ferocious look and couldn't help but sigh.
