Looking at the "young girl" in front of him, Hu Tianqin could roughly guess who she was.
In order not to offend the local tyrant Liu, he married a man to avoid this girl.
I never imagined that one day they would have the chance to meet again.
Upon meeting him in person, Hu Tianqin was even more relieved that marrying Yi Mu was the right choice.
Judging from her tone, it didn't sound like she was flirting; it sounded more like she was doing her a favor.
This girl thinks too highly of herself; sometimes she tilts her head back too high, which can easily cause her to hurt herself.
As Yi Mu walked to the front, some onlookers recognized her and quickly made way for her, while also shouting for a good show: "Boss Hu, your wife is here."
Yi Mu was frail and boneless, carrying a heavy lunchbox in her hands, making it difficult for her to even lift her arm.
Upon seeing this, Hu Tianqin quickly stepped forward and took the rather heavy lunchbox.
He wiped the sweat from Yi Mu's forehead, feigning helplessness but actually showing affection, and said, "It's so hot, I've already made you stay at home, I'll just eat whatever I feel like."
Yi Mu smiled, her smile as gentle as a spring flower in full bloom, silently radiating charm.
"How can that be? You love my cooking the most. Look at you, you're covered in sweat. Go wash your face."
Ms. Liu stood to the side, completely ignored.
From their interactions, she deduced that their relationship was more than just casual.
People around them exclaimed, "That young couple has such a good relationship; they never argue. Hey, my wife argues with me three times a day."
"Everyone's like that, Old Hu is so lucky."
He actually got married! Miss Liu's face twisted in disbelief.
She felt that what she had just said, combined with the way the two of them were now acting so affectionately, made her lose face.
Seeing the two of them talking intimately as if no one else was around, he felt a surge of anger and embarrassment.
"You blacksmith have no taste! You married a skinny woman who looks like a monkey. You're probably broke, that's why you married an ugly wife. She's destined to be poor!"
Anyone could hear the bitterness in her words.
Some people said with disgust, "Supposedly a lady from a respectable family, but her mouth is so foul!"
Miss Liu was not one to suffer a loss, so she pricked up her ears and glared at the man.
"Am I wrong? He just has no taste."
Among the crowd were some feisty women who shielded their husbands from view and started arguing back at her.
"You old maid who can't get married, you're just jealous of other people's lovey-dovey relationship. That's why Xiao Hu doesn't even want your chubby figure. You're jealous, but it's no use!"
Miss Liu was so angry that her chest heaved as she screamed, ordering her maid to tear the woman's mouth apart.
Just as they were about to start fighting in the blacksmith shop, Hu Tianqin stepped forward.
His voice was deep and resonant, quite authoritative.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here to do business, and all who come are welcome. But those who cause trouble and provoke others are absolutely not welcome."
There was only one person who caused trouble and provoked the situation.
If Miss Liu had any self-awareness, she should have tucked her tail between her legs and slunk away.
But who is she? She's the daughter of Master Liu, and since childhood she's considered herself on the same level as princesses and noblewomen.
She was born into a noble family, while this man was just a poor commoner.
That lousy blacksmith dared to boss her around.
The Liu family lived nearby. Miss Liu the Second sent her maid back to fetch people, determined to teach Hu Tianqin a lesson.
After the maid left, Miss Liu looked at Hu Tianqin with a smug expression and decided to take pity on him and give him a chance.
"I'll let you go as long as you beg for mercy."
Hu Tianqin thought to himself, "Damn it, she's insane. She's only acting this way because she's a woman. If she were a man, she would have been trampled underfoot and beaten up by now."
She's truly a local tyrant; like father, like daughter.
Her father arbitrarily increased the rent, and his daughter was even more unreasonable, blatantly stealing other people's things without paying.
It seems that the constables in the capital are no different from those in the local areas. With such tyrannical bullies running rampant, it's as if we're blind and can't see anything.
Yi Mu looked at Miss Liu Er, who was raising her eyebrows and making a fool of herself, and covered her mouth to chuckle.
Her voice was extremely beautiful, like the song of a nightingale, clear and melodious.
Miss Liu Er looked at her like that and shouted in disgust, "Ugly freak, what are you laughing at?"
