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

Chapter 190 Questioning
Jiang Yihuan dragged her tired body back to the small house she had just rented.

As soon as I entered the yard, a bucket of water was splashed out from the side.

Jiang Yihuan was soaked to the bone, her face turned pale, and she glared angrily at the woman who had splashed the water.

"you do this delibrately."

The woman showed no remorse and said sarcastically, "I was splashing water in front of my own house, not in yours. Why did you have to be so blind and show up when I was splashing water? I'd say you're deliberately slandering me!"

Five families lived in this courtyard, each renting a room, while the kitchen and outhouse were shared.

This is a rental area, where many people who come to the city to find work live. This also means that the area is a mixed bag.

After finding work, Jiang Yihuan asked her boss for an advance on her monthly salary to rent a house so she wouldn't have to go back to living in the dilapidated temple. She never wanted to squeeze into the temple with a group of beggars again.

However, that little bit of money is only enough to rent the cheapest house. If you rent an expensive one, it won't be enough for other expenses.

She also pursued her former suitors, but after she got married, they all got married too. Now they all have wives to take care of them, and even if they wanted to help her, they couldn't afford it.

Jiang Yihuan repeatedly met with setbacks, and once again regretted getting married so early. If she hadn't married, she could have found another sucker to pay for her money.

Now that she's married, it won't be so easy for her to seduce those men anymore. Even if a man takes the bait, it's only to take advantage of her, not to marry her.

Losing her virginity for a little money is no good deal. Since she chose Xiao Yanci, she had no choice but to bet everything on him.

Jiang Yihuan took the groceries she had just bought to the kitchen. As soon as she entered, she saw a young woman cooking. The woman looked up, revealing a familiar face.

"What are you doing here?" Jiang Yihuan looked at Wen Shi warily.

Wen's eyes flickered: "I rented this house."

"You knew we lived here and deliberately followed us, didn't you?" Jiang Yihuan said angrily. "We're already married, can you please stop haunting us?"

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yanci had just returned from outside and heard Jiang Yihuan's voice, so he came over following the sound.

When he saw Ms. Wen cooking at the stove, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Ms. Wen looked at him with a mournful expression: "Scholar Xiao, I really didn't know you were here. The rent here is cheap; it's the only place I can afford to rent."

Xiao Yanci's handsome face turned bright red.

The houses here are the cheapest, which shows how pathetic he is. Whether in his past life or this one, this is the first time he's ever been this pathetic.

"Huan'er, I think it's a coincidence."

"You're still protecting her!" Jiang Yihuan said angrily. "I think you'd love for her to come along so you two can rekindle your relationship."

"Huan'er, stop fooling around." Xiao Yanci was already in a bad mood today, and Jiang Yihuan's antics in front of Madam Wen made him lose even more face.

Jiang Yihuan's eyes reddened with anger: "Fine, I'll be silly, I'll be silly."

After saying that, she shoved the vegetable basket in her hand into his and angrily went back to her room.

Xiao Yanci frowned.

Is Jiang Yihuan throwing a tantrum and refusing to cook?

But he was already hungry.

Ms. Wen said softly, "It's my fault, I should have avoided it. But I have no money left and can't rent another house."

“It’s none of your business,” Xiao Yanci said. “This time, Huan’er was just being unreasonable.”

"Xiao Xuezi, you are still so good." Madam Wen looked at Xiao Yanci with deep affection.

Xiao Yanci's heart skipped a beat. "I made some food. Are you hungry? Would you like some?" After saying that, Madam Wen said with a look of annoyance, "Look at me, I always forget that you are already married. You have a wife now, Madam Xiao will cook for you. How could my crude cooking skills be worthy of her?"

"I am indeed a little hungry, but do you have enough to eat?"

Jiang Yihuan got angry and even shoved the food into his hands, clearly unwilling to cook.

He was very hungry, and of course he wouldn't refuse if someone cooked food for him.

We can't exactly ask him to cook, can we?

“That’s enough, I can’t eat much.” Ms. Wen said with delight.

Jiang Yikan lay on the bed and fell asleep without realizing it. When she woke up again, it was already dark outside.

She was starving, her stomach practically sticking to her back, wondering why Xiao Yanci hadn't brought the food yet. Could it be that he couldn't cook and was still in the kitchen preparing food?

She opened the door and went out, only to see Xiao Yanci sitting at the stone table in the courtyard drinking tea, while Wen Shi was washing clothes beside her, occasionally looking up at Xiao Yanci with deep affection.

Jiang Yihuan suppressed her anger and walked over to Xiao Yanci, saying, "Husband, is the food ready?"

Xiao Yanci frowned: "I saw you were asleep, and I thought you didn't want to eat, so I didn't keep it for you."

Wen added from the side, "If Miss Jiang is hungry, I've left two pancakes. Wait a moment, I'll go heat them up for you."

"Who wants to eat your food?" Jiang Yihuan snapped.

Startled by her movement, Wen took a step back and slipped.

Xiao Yanci stood up and put his arm around her waist.

"Thank you, Scholar Xiao." Wen's voice naturally had a Jiangnan accent, and when she lowered her voice, it was both soft and sweet, with a natural charm.

"Don't touch him," Jiang Yihuan said, separating the two.

Xiao Yanci saw that Jiang Yihuan had been so angry that she cried, and the other households were peeking out of their windows, looking on with amusement.

Not wanting to lose face, he pulled Jiang Yihuan back to his room.

"Scholar Xiao, I'll bring you this tea," Madam Wen said from behind.

"No need," Xiao Yanci said.

"Then I'll make it for you another day when you want to drink it."

After pulling Jiang Yihuan back, Xiao Yanci closed the door and looked at her with displeasure.

“Huan’er, how did you become like this? Sister-in-law Wen didn’t know we lived here before. Now that we’ve met, let’s make friends. You’re both women, so it’s only right that you take care of and help each other. Why are you always causing trouble for her? You can’t cook, but Sister-in-law Wen is a good cook. We can ask her to share a meal with us.”

"Do you regret marrying me?" Jiang Yihuan hugged his neck and cried, "My mother treated us like that, you can't eat or sleep well with me, do you regret marrying me? That Wen Shi can cook, if you're with her you won't have to worry about food or drink."

Taking a step back to advance is a tactic she often uses.

Every time she met Ms. Wen, she was easily led astray by her. Only when she calmed down did she realize how wrong she had been.

These men are easy to manipulate. As long as she doesn't lose her composure, Xiao Yanci won't be snatched away by another woman.

She only has this one card left, and even if she's not satisfied, she has to keep it.

"Don't talk nonsense again." Xiao Yanci tapped the tip of her nose.

Sure enough, his tone softened as soon as Jiang Yihuan started crying.
