Su Qingyue didn’t listen to the gossip of the villagers anymore and took the jar to Aunt Zhang’s house.
After turning a few corners, she passed by a large, seemingly adobe house. Although it was an adobe house, the roof was covered with tiles, and the large yard was surrounded by a bamboo fence.
As she passed by the backyard of this family’s house, she saw a pigsty on one side and a group of chickens foraging just about everywhere in the yard.
Looking through the fence, chicken feces were everywhere, and the smell of pig dung was unbearable. The pigsty had not been cleaned for several days.
Considering the area and the tiled roof, as well as the livestock, this family’s living conditions were considered good in the village. After all, not every house was this big or could afford to be covered with tiles.
As she walked past the house and got to the entrance of the courtyard, she saw a pile of firewood in disarray. It was clear that the people living here must be lazy.
She saw a man carrying a hoe standing at the entrance of the courtyard.
A male voice came from the house, “Li Wangcai, you’re back so early from working in the fields?”
The man with the hoe replied, “It’s too hot, so as soon as I finished hoeing, I came back.”
Only then did Su Qingyue realize that the man with the hoe was Li Wangcai, who had a name similar to Li Cai, Li Gui’s younger brother. She had met Li Gui before, and now she knew someone else with a similar name.
She had heard from Chuan that Li Gui only had Li Cai as his younger brother, which meant that Li Wangcai and Li Cai were not related but had the same surname.
Su Qingyue was just passing by and didn’t care what the two were talking about. She was about to continue when Li Wangcai glanced at her and said to the man in the yard, “What are you standing around for? Your wife’s here.”
Su Qingyue’s footsteps paused, but before she could speak, a man’s voice in the yard scolded, “What nonsense are you talking about? I haven’t even married a wife.”
“I forgot, the wife you bought was sold to the Xiao family.” Li Wangcai didn’t forget such a big event, it was deliberate, “Zhu Nengvven, you’re quite heartless, aren’t you? Your former wife is here, and you don’t even come out to say hello?”
“What former wife? Su Qingyue is just a lowly maidservant my family bought. I’m going to be a scholar; there’s no way I’d marry such an ugly servant.” The man called Zhu Nengwen came to the courtyard door.
Su Qingyue glanced at the man. He had a low-bridged nose, disheveled eyebrows, a forgettable face, and was only a bit taller than her. She was 1.6 meters tall, so he was probably about 1.63 meters tall at most. His clothes were slightly better than those of the average villager.
So, this is the ex-husband of the original owner of this body.
Su Qingyue looked at Zhu Nengwen and sneered, “It’s not your fault that you’re short and ugly, but having such a vile mouth is because your mother didn’t teach you well.”
Zhu Nengwen looked at Qingyue in a daze, encountering a slim figure that might be thin but had an ample chest and clean appearance. Was she really the same lowly maidservant his family had bought?
Looking at her clear, bright eyes with the sparkling pupils, she had beautiful eyes, and her voice was as melodious as a oriole singing.
After hearing her words, he was not only surprised that she could speak now but also noticed that her skin seemed to be much fairer than before, “What did you say? You… are you really Su Qingyue?”
“I’m saying that you, a man as shameless as you, it’s no wonder you haven’t become a scholar even after nine years.”
“How am I shameless?” Zhu Nengwen, as a scholar, could not bring himself to curse back..
