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

Chapter 155 He's still young

After Su Yaoguang regained her energy, laughter and cheerful voices filled the temple once again.

Zhou Wangshu leaned against the door, watching Su Yaoguang being surrounded by enthusiastic people, her arms stuffed with food and supplies. Unable to bear the enthusiasm, Su Yaoguang squeezed through the crowd and ran away.

"Boss Su is too thin-skinned, that won't do," an older woman said with a smile.

"Young girls aren't as thick-skinned as us old folks. Once she has children with Young Master Zhou and becomes a mother, she won't be so easily embarrassed."

"Oh, that's still a long way off. Young Master Zhou is too young. I don't think the two of them have consummated their marriage yet!"

"That's definitely not the case. We can tell at a glance whether someone has consummated their marriage or not. Speaking of which, Young Master Zhou is too young. When will he ever get to that point? In my opinion, he should find an older husband. Older men know how to coax people. I think that apart from being good-looking, Young Master Zhou is not a good match for Boss Su in any other way. Just think about it, he's so young, Boss Su would have to coax him!"

"Aunt Wang is truly the elder sister; you were absolutely right. Last time I saw Young Master Zhou giving him a hard time, and Boss Su was chasing after him, trying to coax him with candy!"

Zhou Wangshu: “…”

That time, it was because he insisted on throwing Xiao Yanci off the mountain, and Su Yaoguang refused. Knowing that she was in the wrong, she naturally tried to please him in every way, and even gave him candied fruit to eat.

He's young? Where is he young? What do you mean he has nothing to offer besides his good looks? His good looks are his greatest asset. Why would Su Yaoguang choose someone old and ugly instead of someone as handsome as him?

No, why should he care who she dates? They're like siblings. It's normal that they're not a good match; it would be abnormal if they were.

Zhou Wangshu left angrily, walking briskly as if he couldn't stand anything, kicking stones as if he had a grudge against someone.

A few days later, the last batch of local patients recovered, and the monks in the temple were responsible for sending them down the mountain, including Xiao Yanci.

Xiao Yanci hadn't seen Jiang Yihuan and assumed she had gone down the mountain, which made him increasingly disappointed. He sat in the carriage, glancing occasionally in the direction of the temple, when he saw Su Yaoguang and several women walking past.

"Boss Su..." Zhang Xuezi called out to Su Yaoguang.

Su Yaoguang looked over and smiled at him, "Are you going down the mountain?"

"Dr. Jiang gave us a follow-up examination early this morning and said we can go down the mountain now. Boss Su, thanks to you all, otherwise we would not have been lucky enough to survive. We will never forget your great kindness."

“When you return to the academy this time, you should be preparing for the imperial examination. Wang Shu is still on the mountain helping me. Please ask the Master and the Headmaster for leave for me. Tell them that we see too many patients every day and we don’t dare let Wang Shu go down the mountain until we see the last patient fully recovered and leave. We are afraid that he may still be carrying the illness.”

“That’s easy to say. You’ve done some great good deeds that have saved lives. The headmaster and the teacher will surely praise Brother Wangshu highly. Please tell Brother Wangshu that we will wait for him to return to the academy, and then we will take the imperial examination together.”

"Okay. Take care, we won't see you off."

Seeing that Su Yaoguang had left without even glancing at him, Xiao Yanci suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, making it hard to breathe.

In his past life, he desperately wanted Su Yaoguang to stay far away from him, preferably to never bother him again. But when this day came, he suddenly found it unacceptable. How could she be so indifferent to him? In this life, the way she looked at him was so unfamiliar. The exclusive affection that should have belonged to him was given to someone named Zhou Wangshu.

Xiao Yanci thought about how in her past life she became the top scholar in the imperial examination, and she became the top scholar's wife. In this life, she wouldn't have the chance to be the top scholar's wife. She would definitely regret her past blindness when the time came.

With this in mind, Xiao Yanci decided to rush back to the academy immediately to prepare for the imperial examination.

Only after the carriage left did the woman beside her say, "Why did I feel that the scholar surnamed Xiao looked at you strangely? It was like... unrequited love."

*Pfft!* The person next to her laughed. "Absolutely not. That guy surnamed Xiao has been involved with several women in ambiguous relationships; he's no good man. Our Boss Su is such a good person; she deserves a good man with a conscience."

"Yes."

"However, I still think Young Master Zhou is too young. Why don't you consider my cousin? He's a businessman and very handsome. What do you think? Maybe you'll hit it off!"

"But Boss Su is already married!"

"What kind of marriage is this? They haven't even consummated their marriage yet. At most, this situation is just like having a marriage contract, or being engaged to someone else."

“Mother…” Zhou Wangshu’s voice rang out.

Everyone was startled by the sudden sound.

They looked in the direction of Zhou Wangshu.

Just as Zhou Wangshu's voice rang out, Zhang Zhaodi ran out carrying a knife: "What's wrong? What's wrong? I'm chopping vegetables!"

"Yaoguang said I'm too young and wants to divorce me and find someone older," Zhou Wangshu said, looking at Zhang Zhaodi with a wronged expression.

Zhang Zhaodi brandished the kitchen knife in her hand, her eyes fierce: "You've got some nerve!"

Su Yaoguang quickly explained, "No, I didn't say that."

“Although she didn’t say it that way, that’s what she thinks,” Zhou Wangshu said. “No wonder she’s been ignoring me lately. Mother, you said back then that as long as I married into the family, you would treat me like your own son. Now that Yaoguang has changed her mind, you have to stand up for me.”

"Su Yaoguang!" Zhang Zhaodi charged over, brandishing a kitchen knife. "You! You're just like those lousy men who become rich and then abandon their wives who have shared their hardships. I should have never let you earn money; I should have let you be a pauper your whole life. And you dare to look down on Wang Shu! Today, I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget."

Seeing that things were going badly, the other culprits quickly stopped Zhang Zhaodi.

"Yaoguangniang, that's not how it is, we were just joking!"

"That's right, that's right, we were just joking. Young Master Zhou and Boss Su are such a perfect match, they're a match made in heaven, even the golden couple under Guanyin's seat couldn't be more perfect. They are the most compatible, there is no one more compatible than them. You must calm down, don't hurt yourself."

"Zhou Wangshu, you'd better explain yourself to my mother right now." Su Yaoguang grabbed Zhou Wangshu and shoved him towards Zhang Zhaodi. "You brat, are you deliberately trying to get me into trouble?"

"Good sister, how could I dare to harm you? After all, I'm just a son-in-law who married into the family, and he's still young!" Zhou Wangshu said with a smile.

Su Yaoguang pinched the soft flesh on his waist: "You brat, you did this on purpose."

"Ah... Yaoguang, stop pinching me, it hurts so much," Zhou Wangshu said pitifully.

"Su Yaoguang, you still dare to pinch him!" Zhang Zhaodi was even more furious and rushed over, brandishing her knife.

Upon seeing this, Su Yaoguang quickly ran away.

"Mother, Jing'er is looking for me. I'm going to take care of the patient."
