Wang Er Ya turned her head angrily towards Gao Zhiru: "Gao Zhiru, you tell that mean person you’re going to marry me!"
Ji Xiulan’s eyes also reddened: "You’re just watching this shameless girl hit me and are not helping me?"
Gao Zhiru was about to lose his mind, these two crazy women, were they trying to ruin him intentionally?!
Where does he even have the mood to make any choice now?
He should be thinking about how to recover his suddenly soiled reputation by these two women, or rather, how he should face this group of villagers staring at him with strange expressions...
Ji Xinhe looked at the two women fighting like crazed witches and couldn’t help but remark: "Don’t these women know how ugly they look now? They even have the nerve to confidently ask Gao Zhiru who he wants to marry?"
"Weren’t you acting like a crazed witch just like them? After sleeping with me, you still had the nerve to call yourself a beauty. Hmm, you even had blood on your head at that time, you looked even more frightening than them." Marquis Mu whispered in her ear.
Ji Xinhe’s face turned red instantly. She glared at him: "Believe it or not, I’ll throw you out of my house immediately if you keep talking!"
Marquis Mu slightly curved his lips, his gaze moved from her face to the ongoing drama opposite them.
"Which shameless girl dares to hit my Xiulan!" Lady Ding’s voice, full of anger, almost shattered Ji Xinhe’s eardrums.
It turned out to be Lady Ding who rushed over. As soon as she came, she went straight to Wang Er Ya and slapped her across the face: "You shameless little bitch, sleeping with someone else’s man, aren’t you afraid of losing the face of the Wang Family? Let Li Zheng dunk you in the pig-dipping cage!"
Wang Er Ya was furious. If her hands hadn’t been restrained, she would have rushed forward to scratch Lady Ding’s face: "You old witch, what right do you have to hit me? Ji Xiulan and the disreputable pig meat seller were not put in the pig cage after their affair- why should it be my turn? I and Zhiru are engaged to get married! He said he wants to marry me!"
Lady Ding scoffed: "Shameless, you actually have the nerve to say these words? A fickle woman like you, do you think a man wants to marry you? At most you’re just a toy!"
"You!" Wang Er Ya was so enraged that she almost lunged forward to kill her, but at this moment, Wang Er Ya’s mother, Wang Saozi, also rushed up, kicked Lady Ding from behind: "You shameless old hag, isn’t your own daughter a fickle woman making advances to men everywhere? If Gao Zhiru really slept with her, would you even know? Or if she hasn’t been slept by Gao Zhiru, that means he didn’t want her! No one wanted her!"
"I’ll fight with you!" Lady Ding, rubbing her buttocks, stood up, and clashed with Wang Saozi, struggling with each other once again.
The scene was immediately thrown into chaos, with sounds of swearing, fighting, and people trying to break up the fight filling the air.
Wang Er Ya and Ji Xiulan didn’t stop yelling at him to speak up.
Gao Zhiru, looking at everything happening in front of him, suddenly felt like the world was collapsing. He shuddered all over his body, turned around, and staggered off with his pants pulled up and clothes disheveled.
The villagers were busy trying to break up the fight, naturally, they couldn’t pay attention to him, and they managed to pull apart the chaotic crowd of Lady Ding and Wang Saozi.
Ji Xinhe watched Gao Zhiru’s hasty retreat, her lips curled up into a mocking smile: "It seems you got a taste of your own medicine today, I wonder if you can still achieve the gold list title three days from now."
What gold list title? With all the trouble he’d caused today, it was uncertain if he’d even have the qualifications to take the exam, let alone whether he could write anything with his shook-up mentality.
If he dares to mess with her, then he should know the price!
Ji Xinhe snorted coldly, not bothering to deal with the drama, turned around and was ready to leave.
Marquis Mu didn’t feel like watching the drama either. He just followed Ji Xinhe who led the way out.
Ji Xinhe walked quite a distance, and she could still hear the noise from the small bamboo grove behind, occasionally mixed with the sharp curses of Lady Ding.
Ji Xinhe suddenly felt refreshed at this moment, her whole mood was uplifted, it seemed like everything was going smoothly, except for this man following her...
Ji Xinhe suddenly stopped in her tracks, glaring at him: "How long do you plan to freeload at my house!?"
Marquis Mu also stopped, speaking softly: "If you feel you are being taken advantage of, you can always live at my place in the future, for as long as you want."
Ji Xinhe’s whole body shuddered, she took a cautious step backward: "I’m not going there!"
Marquis Mu curved his lips slightly, but didn’t say another word. Whether you go or not is not up to you.
When they returned home, Marquis Mu was ready to jump in through the window from the back. Ji Xinhe went in through the front door.
Ji Dong was waiting anxiously for her: "Where have you been? I heard something happened in the village again, I was afraid you got involved."
Ji Xinhe blinked: "No, I just went out for a stroll."
Ji Dong didn’t believe her and was about to ask, when Ji Xinhe quickly pulled him into the house: "I’m starving, brother, did you save some food for me?"
Ji Dong couldn’t help but feel helpless, and went to the kitchen to serve her the hot food and rice.
Ji Xinhe was also hungry by this time, and probably because she was in high spirits, she enjoyed her food.
While eating, her eyes swept over the jar of pickled sour bamboo shoots. She quickly said: "I think these sour bamboo shoots should be ready. We might as well take them to the morning market and sell them tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Bei’s mouth was watering. He quickly said: "Can we taste them first?"
Ji Xinhe chuckled: "You little glutton."
Still, she put her bowl and chopsticks aside and stood up to open the jar.
The moment she opened it, an attractive aroma of sour bamboo shoots wafted out. Xiao Bei began to salivate, looking eagerly as Ji Xinhe put a piece of the sour bamboo shoot into his mouth. Xiao Bei tasted it and his eyes lit up. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
"It’s so delicious! Crispy, slightly sweet and sour, it’s definitely the best to eat with rice!"
Ji Xinhe also tasted one and nodded satisfactorily: "It’s almost ready, let’s take it out to sell tomorrow."
Xiao Bei hastily asked: "Could we save some for the house?"
"Of course we are leaving some for you!" Ji Xinhe laughed.
Ji Dong said: "But I have to go pull bricks for building the stove tomorrow. The brick kiln just sent word that our bricks are ready and they want me to pick them up tomorrow. Can you and Xiao Bei handle this alone?"
If it was something else to sell, Ji Dong wouldn’t worry. But this jar, it had to be moved around, and he worried that they wouldn’t be able to lift it.
Ji Xinhe snorted lightly, gesturing with her mouth to the room next door: "Isn’t there freeloader lying in that room? Let him do it! It’s a way for him to pay rent by doing some work for us!"
