Chapter 50: Give in

The carriage stopped in front of a farmer's tiled house with white walls and black tiles, and the tiles on the roof were stacked in layers.

Xiao Yan was the first to get off the carriage, walked over and pushed the door: "Come in."

Yue Xianhua had just stepped down from the footstool and was looking around curiously when she heard his voice.

She pursed her lips, lifted her skirt and followed.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I stepped over the threshold, I heard the sound of a carriage driving away behind me.

She couldn't help but look back, and sure enough, she saw the driver leaving.

Is this person serious?

Or is he trying to trick her on purpose?
Just as I was daydreaming, I heard the boy's joking voice: "Are you scared?"

Turning around to meet that beautiful face, Yue Xianhua held her head high and chest puffed out, walking straight past him without even glancing at him, acting like a real young lady.

Xiao Yan made a "tsk" sound, closed the door casually, and followed her in.

As soon as Yue Xianhua came in, she saw the flat small vegetable patch in front of the house, planted with lush green vegetables, which looked very beautiful.

This scene brought back some memories for her, and she stood there for a long time without moving.

But in fact, it is not really like that. The flat ground outside the thatched cottage of Master Qing'an is planted with medicinal herbs, no vegetables.

Every time, the vegetables are either delivered by farmers or bought in the city.

It was unknown what the girl was thinking about, and there was a hint of nostalgia in her eyes, which made Xiao Yan, who had originally intended to scare her, frown.

He brought her here to experience the poor and hard rural life and let her back off, not to experience the rural wildness of "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely seeing the southern mountains".

Noticing a wild flower at the edge of her skirt, Yue Xianhua suddenly became interested and bent down to pick the flower.

But as soon as he moved, a hand suddenly stretched out from the side and grabbed his wrist. The boy's voice was even colder than before:
"What are you still standing there for? Come in."

Xiao Yan said this and dragged the dazed girl towards the kitchen.

His grip was a bit too strong, and Yue Huahua felt pain: "Be gentle, you're hurting me."

He paused for a moment, and although he did not stop, the strength in his hands loosened a lot. But even so, he was unable to let her break free.

Yue Hua was dragged forward, stepping on the boy's back, cursing in his heart:

You do whatever you want, madman!
-
The kitchen of this farmhouse is in a corner against the courtyard wall. A dark grey curtain is hung on the door frame to block the cold wind and fumes.

Yue Xianhua was dragged in, and the first thing that caught his eye was a large stove made of blue bricks.

A casual glance into the kitchen: all kinds of cooking utensils and seasonings are on the stove, bacon, corn, garlic and other ingredients are hung on the walls, and firewood is piled in the corner... Although the sparrow is small, it has everything.

She watched carefully, but the boy who had just dragged her in forcefully had already let go of his hand, folded his arms and leaned against the door frame, and spoke loudly:
"I'm hungry, you cook."

The emotion in Yue Hua's eyes faded, and she turned around to look at him. Although she didn't say a word, her eyes seemed to say three words: "Are you sick?"
Xiao Yan didn't care and still looked lazy and scoundrel:

"Haven't you always wanted to get a divorce? Then first experience the life of no one to take care of you after the divorce. Can you bear it?"

Yue Xianhua was just about to scold him for being "incomprehensible" when he suddenly thought of the conversation that had just taken place in the carriage.

Could it be that these are the “methods” this guy could think of?
Her glass-like eyes swept across the young man's beautiful smiling face, and she spoke softly:
"What if I can bear it?"

Seeing that the lively girl who was angry just now because he deliberately picked a quarrel with her had returned to her usual calm and peaceful state, without the shock and anger he had imagined, Xiao Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Just do it first, and we'll talk later."

As he spoke, he raised his chin at her and said, "Everything you need is in here, so let's get started. Otherwise, it'll be time for lunch."

Yue Xianhua didn't move, like a beautiful enamel doll.

Xiao Yan said, "Tsk, it seems you don't want to. That's great, from now on, put aside those whimsical thoughts and be my wife obediently."

After he said that, he was about to go over and take her hand and take her back.

But who knew that before he even touched her, the little girl had already withdrawn her hand and said calmly, "I'll do it."

Xiao Yan's smiling eyes dimmed, and then he retreated back to the door frame with an indifferent smile, as if he wanted to watch her show.

Yue Xianhua just glanced at him indifferently, then retracted his gaze, rolled up his sleeves, and went to check the things that needed to be used on the stove.

Xiao Yan's smile became colder, and when he wasn't smiling, his handsome face showed a bit of arrogance and coldness.
-
After Chen Zhu tied up the horse and parked the carriage, he heard the sound of water being drawn from the house. He couldn't help but feel curious and couldn't help but go over to look inside.

After accepting it, he saw a scene that almost made his eyes pop out -

Their fairy-like young lady was rolling up her sleeves and struggling to draw water from the well.

The rough hemp rope was almost thicker than her wrist, which made people feel scared for fear that it would rub her delicate palms.

On the side, his bastard young master stood there with his hands behind his back, acting like a big boss, with no intention of stepping forward to help.

Chen Zhu's mouth opened and closed, closed and opened again, thousands of words were combined into one sentence:
So this is another new way of torturing people invented by the young master?
Didn't you treat me like a treasure before? How come you got bored so quickly and just enjoy bullying others?

He even dares to bully his wife like this. Is there really nothing in this world that he cares about?

He had sincerely believed that this bastard was interested in the young lady.
The more he thought about it, the more speechless he became. When he looked at Xiao Yan again, Chen Zhu's eyes were full of disgust.
-
In the yard, the young master whom he "disdained" was seemingly casually and easily exploiting an innocent girl.

In fact, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes were filled with anger and distress that he was trying hard to suppress.

This girl is still as stubborn as ever.

Although there was a well in the countryside, the buckets were too big for a delicate girl like her to lift. Many times, she had just drawn water, but only lifted halfway and dropped it all into the well because she didn't have enough strength.

On one occasion, she almost fell down.

He almost couldn't help but rush over to help.

In fact, as long as she is willing to give in, all these things will be over.

But no, she was pumping water and didn't even glance at him.

It was clearly what he wanted, but his chest felt heavy and he didn't feel comfortable at all.

Finally, after several failures, Yue Huahua succeeded in getting half the knowledge.

Although it was a bit clumsy to carry, at least it can be used.

Save a little bit of water, half a bucket of water is enough for washing rice, washing vegetables and steaming rice.

In fact, it wasn't that she didn't know how to fetch water, but the wooden bucket was a little too big compared to the specially made shrunken bucket she had used before, so she couldn't lift it at first.

But she wouldn't explain these.
