Farmer girl swaps husbands: buys a sickly villain and pampers him

Chapter 1 Want Him
"Yaoguang, pay quickly!" Aunt Li pushed the girl who was standing there stupidly and urged her.

"Your father went to the battlefield and has no news from you. Life is not easy for you, an orphan and a widow. You need a man to stand on your own feet. Qian Yazi spent a long time choosing and finally found such a good one for you. Why are you still hesitating?" The lady next to her echoed.

"Exactly. Don't you like good-looking ones? Doesn't this one look good enough?"

Su Yaoguang was given a headache by the chattering sounds.

She looked carefully and realized that this was Anning Village, where she hadn't been back for many years.

She looked at the familiar faces in front of her, her head aching, and some memories flooded into her mind.

Is this a return to the past?
She pinched herself, and the pain brought tears to her eyes.

The timing of her return is also crucial, as it marks the beginning of her ordeal.

In front of him stood a human trafficker whose attire was out of tune with the villagers nearby, and next to the human trafficker stood a tall and cold figure.

Su Yaoguang looked at the skinny but still handsome young version of Xiao Yanci in front of him, and a look of disgust flashed in his eyes.

She curled her lips and said coquettishly, "You're so thin and you still want two taels of silver. That's too expensive. Are you taking me for a ride?"

Qian Yazi was unhappy and pulled open Xiao Yanci's clothes, revealing his fair chest. "Little girl, look carefully. Although this slave is thin, he has a very good physique. If you want a bargain, I have a cheap one in my carriage. He is dying. I will give it to you for ten cents. Do you want it?"

Xiao Yanci lowered his eyes, clenched his palms, and tried his best to endure it.

The handsome man looked so pitiful that even a country woman would have a certain sympathy for him. In her previous life, Su Yaoguang had bought him after a brief hesitation the moment she saw his face. This time, with a look of disdain on her face, she opened the door of the nearby carriage and peered inside, as if genuinely interested in that ten-cent bargain.

Inside the carriage, a bloody young man huddled there. She took a quick look, seeing his appearance clearly, and realized that this young man was the one who had been sold into a brothel in her previous life.

She didn't know his name, and they had only met once. He had escaped from the brothel, just one step away from leaving the alley. The look of resignation in his eyes always made her heart ache whenever she thought of it. She wished she could go back in time and help him escape that dangerous den.

Her mother was ill and worried that she would be left alone, so she insisted that she buy a live-in son-in-law. Since she had to buy one, she decided to save the boy and change his fate.

"I want this ten-cent one."

"What?" The aunt next to her was furious. "Yaoguang girl, are you stupid? That thing is dying, what's the point of bringing it back?"

"He's not dead!" Su Yaoguang said, "I bought it for ten cents anyway, so it's not a loss. If I'm lucky, maybe he will come back to life."

"You're such a stingy girl. How about this, I'll give you a discount, one and a half taels." Qian Yazi pulled Xiao Yanci's entire shirt off and patted his chest. "Su family girl, look at this body, it's definitely worth it."

"No. Unless he also has ten cents like the one inside." Su Yaoguang looked at Xiao Yanci in front of him with disdain.

Xiao Yanci raised his eyes, his deep eyes full of stubbornness.

In her previous life, Su Yaoguang was most afraid of seeing such a look in his eyes. Once she saw such a look, she couldn't bear to let him down and wanted to give him the best.

But now, all she saw was calculation and hypocrisy.

"I can read..." Xiao Yanci looked a little humiliated.

The village women nearby were shocked.

"He can even read? One and a half taels is a real bargain. Yaoguang girl, this is it. She's pretty and educated."

"Then I won't buy it. I want someone who can work. What's the point of just knowing how to read? Look at how frail he is. Do I need to support him after I buy him?" Su Yaoguang said, taking out ten coins and stuffing them into Qian Yazi's palm. "Okay, it's settled. Don't nag. The person inside belongs to me."

Su Yaoguang didn't want to see Xiao Yanci's hypocritical face, nor did she want to continue nagging. She was anxious to go back to see her mother, and the one in the carriage also needed proper treatment.

"What's wrong with Yaoguang today? She's probably still asleep, otherwise why would she choose such a dying person?" "With injuries like this, even if she doesn't die, doesn't she need to see a doctor? Wouldn't the cost of seeing a doctor and medicine be more expensive than buying a healthy one? This girl is usually very smart, but today she didn't use her brains."

Su Yaoguang asked the men in the village to help her carry the boy back home.

She took the boy's indenture contract and quickly caught up with the person in front without even glancing at Xiao Yanci.

Xiao Yanci, who can save you in this life?
"Mom..." Su Yaoguang ran in excitedly.

The familiar dilapidated courtyard, every piece of furnishing here had long been imprinted in her mind.

She spent five years supporting Xiao Yanci's studies. In the second year after she followed him to the capital, after Xiao Yanci passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar, she sent for her mother, only to have her mother killed by bandits on the way. She didn't even get to see her mother for the last time, a fact that has always been her greatest sorrow. Now her mother is still alive and well, and this time, she will not let her mother die young again.

"Call, call, call my soul, I'm not dead yet!" An impatient voice came from inside.

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged woman who was a little overweight walked out with a pale face.

"Did the person buy it back?"

Su Yaoguang threw herself into Zhang Zhaodi's arms.

Zhang Zhaodi was stunned for a moment, and a look of worry appeared on her usually harsh face: "What trouble have you gotten yourself into again?"

"No, I just miss you."

"Bah, you're still saying you're not in trouble? When have you ever gotten into trouble and your mouth wasn't as sweet as honey?" Zhang Zhaodi pinched her ear, applying a little force. "Tell me, what bad things have you done again?"

"It hurts, it hurts... Mom, please pull it gently, my ear is going to fall off." Su Yaoguang begged for mercy.

It feels so good.

Mother is still pulling her ears, that’s great.

Seeing her like this, Zhang Zhaodi became even more worried.

At this time, Su Daniu carried the bloody boy into the yard.

"Aunt, your son-in-law is here."

Zhang Zhaodi stared at the bloody mass of flesh that seemed to be breathing. She turned around and glared at Su Yaoguang: "You little bitch, explain what's going on?"

"Brother Daniu, please take it to the woodshed."

"Okay." Su Daniu also knew that the mother and daughter would probably have a big fight next, so he sent the person to the temporary wooden bed in the woodshed and slipped away quickly as if his feet were greased.

As soon as Su Daniu walked out of the hospital, he heard Zhang Zhaodi grabbing Su Yaoguang's ears and scolding her.

"You stinky girl! I asked you to find a live-in son-in-law, but you brought back this half-dead thing. Return it to me immediately."

"He's cheap, mother."

"Didn't I give you three taels of silver?"

"Three taels of silver is all the money our family has. If we buy a man, what will we eat? I only know that we won't die without a man, but we will definitely starve to death without food. Ouch, mother, please pinch gently... it hurts..."
