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

Chapter 172 Sour Deli

Su Yaoguang said from the side, "I just went to the academy. The old man guarding the gate said that Wang Shu had just left. So it turns out you guys dragged him out to play."

Jiang Ziqian and his sister-in-law's affairs are their private matters. It's impolite to discuss other people's private affairs so abruptly. Let's change the subject!
Zhou Wangshu took Su Yaoguang's bowl and picked out the scallions from it.

"Brother Zhou, what's going on...?"

"Some people are picky eaters and don't like scallions. But if there are other people around, they're too embarrassed to say it."

Everyone looked at Su Yaoguang with mischievous eyes.

Su Yaoguang nudged him under the table and leaned closer, saying, "Don't I have any pride?"

"If you don't like it, you don't like it. Why force yourself to eat it just for the sake of saving face?" Zhou Wangshu picked out the scallions and placed them in front of her. "Eat it!"

Jiang Ziqian looked at the two of them and said, "You two have a really good relationship."

“They’re a married couple, of course their relationship is good,” Zhong Chushan said. “If a married couple’s relationship isn’t good, then who can have a good relationship with whom?”

“But I remember hearing Brother Zhou and Boss Su mention that although you are husband and wife in name, you are only like siblings,” Jiang Ziqian said.

"When did you hear that? Who told you? Did we tell you ourselves?" Zhou Wangshu raised an eyebrow.

Jiang Ziqian smiled faintly: "I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I just happened to overhear your conversation when I went to see Boss Su."

“How is that any different from eavesdropping?” Zhou Wangshu retorted.

"Mr. Jiang is so curious too," Su Yaoguang said. "Wang Shu and I have always been outspoken and like to joke around. The wontons are getting soggy, hurry up and eat!"

After they finished their wontons, Zhong Chushan said, "Boss Jiang, I'd like to discuss a business deal with you."

"Young Master Zhong, please speak."

"It's too noisy here, we can't explain it clearly. Let's go to your place and talk! Come on, we'll have a few drinks with you. Wangshu, you take your wife for a walk, we won't accompany you."

Chen Buyu put his arm around Jiang Ziqian's shoulder and said, "That's right, we're old acquaintances with Boss Jiang. We met here today, so we'll have a few drinks together, catch up, and maybe discuss some business."

Zhou Wangshu paid the money and pulled Su Yaoguang away, saying, "Then we'll be going now."

Su Yaoguang turned around and looked in the direction of Jiang Ziqian and the others.

"They've already gone far, why are you still looking?"

"You haven't been home for half a month. I thought you were really busy, but it turns out you've been busy playing with them, right? You don't have time to go home, but you have time to play with them?"

Zhou Wangshu leaned closer: "Do you even care whether I go home or not?"

“You’re my brother, of course I care whether you come home or not. You can be bad at your studies, you can be neither good at academics nor good at sports, but you have to be healthy. I have to make sure you eat well and sleep well.”

Zhou Wangshu pursed her lips slightly: "Thank you so much for your blessing."

Is he really that bad? In her eyes, he's just a good-for-nothing who's good for nothing!
Zhou Wangshu pointed to the lantern across the street: "I want that one."

"Then go ahead and buy it!"

"I spent all my money on wontons, and I have no money left."

Su Yaoguang took out her purse and placed it in his hand: "Buy it. We're not short of money right now."

Zhou Wangshu weighed the purse in his hand and praised, "I love how rich and powerful you are."

While Zhou Wangshu went to buy lanterns, Su Yaoguang was standing in front of a sugar figurine stall, discussing with the owner whether she could make a sugar figurine herself. The owner agreed, and she began to work on it.

She made two sugar figurines, and just as she strung them on bamboo skewers and picked them up, she turned around and saw Xiao Yanci and Jiang Yihuan. The two of them had just arrived at the sugar figurine stall, and they were face to face.

Xiao Yanci saw the sugar figurines in Su Yaoguang's hands. One of the sugar figurines looked like her, and the other looked like Zhou Wangshu. This reminded him that she had made sugar figurines for him before, but he had thrown them away because he thought they were childish. Su Yaoguang frowned when she saw the two of them, and stepped past them to greet Zhou Wangshu, who was carrying a lantern.

"Look what this is?"

Zhou Wangshu looked at the sugar figurine in her hand and said with a look of disgust, "So ugly."

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Xiao Yanci's eyes.

Look! Even if it were someone else, they would still find her behavior objectionable.

Why didn't Su Yaoguang understand?

Men prefer gentle and charming women like Huan'er, and dislike women who are rough, clumsy, and only know how to work, and don't understand tenderness at all.

"That's because someone is ugly, so this is the only way to make it." Su Yaoguang didn't care about his disdain and bit off 'Zhou Wangshu's' arm.

"You ate it!" Zhou Wangshu shouted. "Did you deliberately make yourself look like me just to eat me?"

“These are sugar figurines, of course they’re meant to be eaten, otherwise they could be used as decorations,” Su Yaoguang said while eating. “If we don’t eat them now, they’ll melt in a bit, which would be such a waste.”

Zhou Wangshu snatched another sugar figurine from her hand and bit off its head: "You're right, it's a waste to let it melt, you should eat it."

"You dare bite off its head! This is my head!"

"Heh, this is a sugar figurine. It's better to eat it than let it melt. Your head is so big, I can't even bite it off!"

"Zhou Wangshu, I think you're asking for a beating." Su Yaoguang rolled up her sleeves and was about to swing her sword.

Zhou Wangshu didn't dodge; instead, she shoved the lantern in her hand into hers, saying, "The light is dim, carry it with you."

Su Yaoguang: "..."

I can't bring myself to throw that punch.

"Wang Shu, you're still the best." Su Yaoguang nudged his arm with her elbow.

Zhou Wangshu's lips curled up: "Good to know. Be more discerning in the future, don't accept just anyone. Do you think everyone is as good-looking and gentle as me?"

Su Yaoguang: "..."

So shameless.

She simply couldn't refute it.

“Brother Xiao…” Jiang Yihuan tugged at Xiao Yanci, “What are you doing? You’ve broken all the lanterns.”

Xiao Yanci snapped out of his daze, looked at the lantern in his hand, and tossed it into a corner.

"If it's broken, it's broken."

Jiang Yihuan frowned: "Brother Xiao, you seem to be very concerned about Su Yaoguang and Zhou Wangshu. Did they do something to upset you this time?"

Ever since Xiao Yanci embarrassed himself, the academy has kept him indoors, forcing him to focus on preparing for the exams. In truth, having lost so much face, Xiao Yanci didn't want to embarrass himself further.

However, for some reason, he could never calm down.

In any case, he had already passed the imperial examination with top honors in his previous life and served as an official in the court for so many years. With prior knowledge of the exam questions and his extensive experience as an official, he didn't need to worry about any problems with the examination. The title of top scholar in his previous life was his, and it would still be his in this life. Moreover, he would be even more glorious in this life than in his previous one.

"No. I just don't like them. Seeing them annoys me," Xiao Yanci said. "Let's ignore them. Huan'er, how about I make you a sugar figurine myself?"

"Anything given by Brother Xiao is the best in my eyes," Jiang Yihuan said shyly.
