The Hua family's old house was located west of Huaqiao Village, at the end of the village, while the village head lived at the east end. The two walked for a quarter of an hour and arrived just as the oxcart was about to depart.
"Uncle Yu, please wait a moment. We two also need to go to town!"
The one driving the ox cart was Yu Qingyou, the husband of the village head. Mu Lige quickly called him.
Yu Qingyou turned around and saw that it was Lang Mu Lige, the doctor of Hua Xiucai's daughter's family. However, Mu Lige, who had always been honest and dutiful, was actually with a beautiful girl. Yu Qingyou was shocked and wanted to say something, but he didn't want to interfere.
Today was May 17th, the town's market day, so the oxcarts were especially crowded. Mu Lige paid four cents and led Hua Qingcheng aboard the oxcart, finding a spot where they could sit next to each other. Seeing their closeness, Yu Qingyou sighed softly and drove the oxcart toward town.
"Hey! Mu Lige, you're so blatantly hanging out with a beautiful girl. Aren't you afraid your wife will find out and beat you to death?"
Wu Dasheng couldn't help but scoff at Mu Lige's presence as he watched him ride in a car with a beautiful woman. He'd long disliked Mu Lige. The girls in Huaqiao Village couldn't take their eyes off him, not to mention his wife, Hua Youcai. Wu Dasheng was eager to see Mu Lige suffer, ideally, a beating from his wife before she divorced him.
Hua Qingcheng glanced at the speaker. He was wearing a royal blue, narrow-sleeved shirt with a slanted collar and gray trousers. His broad, square face was adorned with a pair of small, green eyes, which made him look a bit comical. He had a flat nose, thick lips, and a slightly sallow complexion. His withered, dry hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin.
Hua Qingcheng was a bit annoyed by the other person's harsh words. Combining the other person's thick frame and skinny figure, she searched the original owner's memories and found that it was Wu Dasheng, the husband of the original owner's bad friend Hua Youcai.
Hua Qingcheng curled her lips into a smile, stretched out a hand, and directly hugged Mu Lige's shoulders, then looked at Wu Dasheng provocatively and said:
"I just like Mu Lige's handsome appearance. If his wife dares to object, I will beat her until she has no objection."
Mu Lige was completely overwhelmed by Hua Qingcheng's outrageous actions. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and her ears reddened slightly. She glanced at Wu Dasheng with her beautiful eyes, then rested her head lightly on Hua Qingcheng's shoulder, and her original depression vanished.
Wu Dasheng was stunned, then he said "Pooh" and said "Adulterous woman and adulterous husband!" The people in the car also frowned when they saw this, and looked at Hua Qingcheng and Mu Lige with disgust.
Hua Qingcheng: "Who are you scolding, adulterous woman or adulterous husband?"
Wu Dasheng: "Adulterous woman and adulterous husband curse you!"
After he finished speaking, Wu Dasheng heard the laughter of the people in the car, and then he realized that he was being scolded. He glared at them with his wide eyes in anger, but because his eyes were too small, they did not look intimidating.
Xu Qingchuan, who was standing by, couldn't bear to watch any longer. After thinking for a moment, he said with a serious expression, earnestly and earnestly:
"Li Ge, I have also watched you grow up. I know you are a good person. Although you and Qingcheng have not yet officially married, you are still the adopted husband of Hua Xiucai. Now that you two are still husband and wife, you must not do anything that goes against male virtue."
Mu Lige could ignore Wu Dasheng's harassment, and he could also disregard his own reputation, but his wife had finally returned from prostitution, and he couldn't ruin her reputation. Seeing that the patriarch's husband had also misunderstood, Mu Lige looked at him and said, "Uncle Qingchuan has misunderstood. She is my wife, Hua Qingcheng!"
"W-what? You...you mean, she...she is Hua Qingcheng?"
Xu Qingchuan was in disbelief. He couldn't connect the heavily made-up, erratic-behaving second-rate Hua Qingcheng with the beautiful woman in front of him who exuded a cool temperament.
Upon hearing this, the people on the ox cart widened their eyes, looking as if they had just seen red rain from the sky.
"Yes, Uncle Qingchuan, when we were little you often gave me candies to eat!"
Hua Qingcheng smiled gently at Xu Qingchuan. The original owner's memory did indeed contain this elegant and simple figure, who seemed to have a good relationship with the original owner's father. Before the original owner was driven back to the Hua family's old house, he was indeed often seen at the Hua family's house.
“Cough cough cough…”
Xu Qingchuan embarrassedly covered his lips with his fist and pretended to cough a few times.
"So...it turned out to be Qingcheng! You are married now and have several husbands, but you must not act like a fool like before. You must live a down-to-earth life with Lige and the others."
Hearing the other party's sincere words, Hua Qingcheng's heart warmed slightly. The clan leader Hua Zhengfeng and his husband Xu Qingchuan were good people, but the original owner was too shady. She could only slowly change everyone's impression of her.
"I understand, Uncle Qingchuan. I was wrong before, but now I have turned over a new leaf and will not make the same mistake again."
Hearing Hua Qingcheng's words, Mu Lige also hurriedly joined in: "Yes, Uncle Qingchuan, my wife has turned over a new leaf now, you can rest assured!"
Seeing the two of them getting along harmoniously, Xu Qingchuan nodded with satisfaction.
"Well, good! Good! That couldn't be better! Go back and see your mother and father when you have time. Your father loves you the most."
"Yes, Uncle Qingchuan!"
Seeing the other party's good attitude and willingness to learn, Xu Qingchuan felt relieved. Then he frowned and reprimanded Wu Dasheng:
"They are husband and wife, and it's only natural for them to love and live in harmony. Stop gossiping about them!"
Wu Dasheng, feeling humiliated, could only nod in agreement.
Yu Qingyou, who was driving the cart, also overheard the conversation between the few people. She didn't expect that Hua Qingcheng, the second-rate guy from Huaqiao Village, would also have a day when she would turn over a new leaf. Fortunately, she didn't say anything more just now, otherwise it would be embarrassing.
Hua Anton and Hua Xiaoyun, who were traveling to the town together, were equally shocked. They never dreamed that the beautiful woman they had met by chance in Pinglan Mountain with Hua Wenjie was actually the notorious Hua Qingcheng.
Wu Dasheng, who originally wanted to mock Mu Lige and embarrass him, never expected that the beautiful woman who was close to Mu Lige was actually Hua Qingcheng herself. He was immediately angry and felt extremely aggrieved.
In terms of appearance, figure, embroidery skills, and popularity, she was inferior to Mu Lige in every aspect. At least his wife was better than his, but now even that one advantage was gone. Wu Dasheng couldn't help but feel upset, but because the village chief and the clan leader's husband were present, he couldn't continue to find fault and could only swallow his anger.
Hua Qingcheng’s principle is that I will not offend others unless they offend me; if someone offends me, I will hurt the enemy by a thousand even if it means hurting myself by eight hundred.
Since she has now become Hua Qingcheng of Laifeng Country, everything that belonged to the original owner is also hers. Naturally, the several husbands are also under her wing, and she will not allow anyone to bully them.
Seeing the slightly reserved Mu Lige, Hua Qingcheng loosened her embrace and held his hand instead. Feeling the warmth in her hand, Mu Lige felt a sweet feeling in his heart.
