Chapter 27: Meeting Wang Buren Again
"Who are you?"
The sudden sound caught Xu Miaomiao's attention.
There was a group of people, both men and women, led by an adult man with a mouth full of yellow teeth, dark skin, untidy beard at the corners of his mouth, and he spat as he walked. There was also a bloated woman next to him who kept chattering in her ear.
Village Chief Wang walked unsteadily, looked at the man and said, "I wonder what brings you here, sir?"
The man spat in dissatisfaction, holding a piece of grass in his mouth and said, "Someone said you occupied our village's land, so I came to take a look."
"Haha." Village Chief Wang laughed and said, "So it's Mr. Wang. We are all using the land of our own village. We dare not compete with you for even a little bit."
"Oh? Really?" The man looked at Village Chief Wang with dissatisfaction. He swung the grass in his mouth around and pointed at a gap in the grass and said, "Village Chief Wang, this is our territory, right?"
"this……"
Beads of sweat on his forehead dripped down his cheeks. Wang Cun looked at the blade of grass, not knowing what to say.
When they first planted cotton, people in the neighboring village were very pessimistic. However, their cotton fields had never exceeded that boundary at all, but there were only weeds growing along with the cotton. They didn't even let it go. They must have come to find trouble.
Xu Miaomiao stepped forward thoughtfully and said, "My dear husband, we cannot control the growth of weeds. I hope you can be lenient."
"Is it you?"
The man stared at Xu Miaomiao and then moved away. Xu Miaomiao looked at him carefully and recognized that the man was the one who wanted to defile Song Weiwei in the brothel.
Without relaxing her frown, Xu Miaomiao spoke after a long while: "What happened that day must have been a misunderstanding. I hope my husband won't mind."
"Haha, go out and ask around, and see if there is anyone who doesn't know my name, Wang Bu Ren. You bully me again and again, do you think I'm weak?"
Wang Bu Ren's face was ferocious and he stared at Xu Miaomiao with his eyes wide open.
Wang Bu Ren? Who is this person, Xu Miaomiao thought secretly.
"Madam Song, this is Wang Yanei. His uncle is the county magistrate, and his family is extremely wealthy."
Wu Zhuang, who was standing by, quietly explained behind Xu Miaomiao.
Xu Miaomiao nodded with understanding in her mind, it turned out that he was the second generation of an official and a rich man.
"Then according to Wang Yanei's idea, what should we do?"
Xu Miaomiao took a step back. She couldn't afford to offend such a person right now.
"That's easy. Give us half of your harvest this year."
"Half?" Village Chief Wang opened his mouth in surprise and couldn't believe it: "Mr. Wang, I hope you can forgive me a little."
"Yeah, that's definitely not possible, but I have a solution."
"Oh?" Wang Bu Ren looked at Xu Miaomiao curiously and asked, "What do you have in mind?"
"Since Mr. Wang said we occupied your land, why don't we take it back? How about we compensate you with ten acres?"
"Madam Song, this won't work."
Village chief Wang, who was standing by, became anxious and looked at Xu Miaomiao in surprise.
Xiang Miaomiao gave him a reassuring look, and then said to Wang Buren: "Mr. Wang, what do you think?"
Wang Buren took out a folding fan from his waist and unfolded it like a young master, but he still almost missed it. He fanned it in front of himself awkwardly and said, "Just do as Madam Song says."
Xu Miaomiao nodded, and immediately took the pen handed to her by Wang Buren and started writing.
"I have finished writing it. Please have a look at it, Mr. Wang."
Wang Bu Ren took the contract and handed it to a man named Xiao Si beside him. Xiao Si took the contract and read it out immediately: "We voluntarily return the land planted to Mr. Wang and pay ten acres of cotton land as compensation. The name is Wangjia Village."
Hearing this, Wang Bu Ren nodded in satisfaction, looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Mrs. Song is sensible. Where is my land?"
Xu Miaomiao pointed to the cotton that had been picked and said, "This is it. From today on, this piece of land belongs to Mr. Wang."
Staring at the land with only green leaves, Wang Bu Ren was furious and glared at Xu Miaomiao: "Xu Miaomiao, you are kidding me!"
"Why do you say that, Mr. Wang? I am doing it according to the contract. The contract gives you ten acres of land, but it doesn't say which ten acres."
"You!" Wang Bu Ren stared at Xu Miaomiao, wishing he could see a hole in her.
After a long time, he walked away.
He looked back at Xu Miaomiao and said fiercely, "Xu Miaomiao, I will definitely avenge myself for today's shame."
After saying that, he turned and left.
"Madam Song's move is brilliant, but since you have offended Wang Bu Ren, you will have to be careful in the future."
Xu Miaomiao bowed to the person in front of her and thanked him: "Thank you, Village Chief Wang, for your reminder. Miaomiao will be more careful in the future."
After Wang Bu Ren was driven away, the cotton field returned to its former tranquility. Everyone was immersed in the joy of picking cotton and was very happy.
"The new emperor has ascended the throne and pardoned the whole nation. You can take part in the imperial examination in three days."
Song Wu Shao stared at Xu Miaomiao for a long time before he uttered these words.
Xu Miaomiao was in a trance. The original book didn't say that Song Wushao would take part in the imperial examination now. Had so many things changed just by her coming here?
Waking up from her thoughts, Xu Miaomiao smiled and nodded: "My husband will definitely win the championship, come on."
Looking at the woman's delighted expression, Song Wu Shao was speechless for a moment. If it were any other time, the woman would have certainly ridiculed him, but now her sincere encouragement contained no emotion, which made him feel a little helpless.
"I'll borrow your good words, madam."
After a long time, a sentence floated through the yard. In the lonely night, this sentence seemed unusually clear.
Xu Miaomiao was stunned in the spot, not for anything else, just because Song Wushao called her "wife"? This was the first time Song Wushao called her like that. It turned out that even the coldest voice could sound so nice when he said "wife".
In a trance, Xu Miaomiao's mind flashed back to their unexpected kiss on the icy lake.
In an instant, a blush crawled up her cheeks along her ears, and Xu Miaomiao only felt that her cheeks were abnormally hot.
Song Wu Shao looked at her puzzledly: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I just have to hold my pee."
After saying that, Xu Miaomiao hurriedly ran away. The cold air outside the house calmed her beating heart a lot. It took her a long time to recover. However, she did not notice that the man in the house smiled.
Watching her flee in panic, Song Wu Shao couldn't help but let out a low laugh.
After chuckling, a look of disbelief appeared on the man's face. He patted his head in annoyance but was unable to stop the corners of his mouth from turning up. He actually thought the woman in front of him was cute. He might really be crazy.
"That Mr. Song? Brother Wu Shao?"
Xu Miaomiao walked slowly into the room, and before she could get a reply from the man, she saw Song Wushao lying on the bed with his eyes closed. She heaved a sigh of relief and quietly returned to her bed. If the situation happened twice more, her heart would probably jump out of her chest.
Falling on her bed, Xu Miaomiao fell into a deep sleep with her back to Song Wushao.
In the silent night, the man suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Xu Miaomiao. Is he that scary?
