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

Chapter 205 Intimacy
The breakfast stall worker delivered breakfast as usual.

As he was about to leave, a young and beautiful woman walked out from the side.

"Hey sir..." Jiang Yihuan stopped the waiter, "If you're delivering again tomorrow, could you also deliver one for me?"

As she spoke, Jiang Yihuan stuffed the loose silver into the waiter's hand.

The waiter quickly shoved it back, refusing, "I'm sorry, madam, you have to queue at our store; we don't deliver."

"If you weren't delivering, why would you be here? You've been delivering every day lately, and you even said you don't deliver breakfast from your shop?"

"Young Master Zhou is different; our boss specifically instructed him to do so." After saying this, the waiter quickly left.

Jiang Yihuan stamped her foot as she watched the waiter's retreating figure.

She went to queue yesterday, but after waiting for half an hour, they were sold out by the time it was her turn. She was so angry that she cried on the spot, saying they were bullying her. She thought other customers would also take this opportunity to cause trouble, but they all left automatically, as if they were already used to this kind of situation.

Later she learned that the shop was very popular, not only during the students' exam period, but also at other times. Getting breakfast there required not only perseverance but also a bit of luck.

"If you don't eat this, are you going to starve to death or die from craving it?" Xiao Yanci's disdainful voice came from behind.

Jiang Yihuan froze on the spot.

She couldn't believe such harsh words came from Xiao Yanci's mouth.

Although his mood has been getting worse and his temper has been getting weirder lately, it doesn't have to be this harsh.

Where did his former gentleness and demeanor go? The current Xiao Yanci looks completely different, lacking his former refined air, and looks quite ugly.

"Brother Xiao, you really went too far." Jiang Yihuan looked at him with teary eyes and ran out in grievance.

Xiao Yanci opened his mouth, a flash of annoyance in his eyes.

What happened to him just now?
How could he say such a thing?

He must be under immense pressure because he's about to enter the exam hall, and the lingering trauma from the past has caused him to lose his temper like this.

Su Yaoguang and Zhou Wangshu came out from inside.

Are you really not going to the poetry recital with the other students today?

Zhou Wangshu said, "No, I'll go with you for a walk. I drank too much yesterday, and my head still hurts. I don't want to socialize with them."

“Yesterday, when Cui Rong and I went to various shops to discuss business, we saw a silk shop with particularly beautiful fabric patterns. Our county doesn’t have fabrics of such high quality. Since you’re not going to socialize with the students, then you can be my laborer and we’ll buy some to take back to Mother and the others.”

"Do you have mine?"

When have I ever been shortchanged by you?

Xiao Yanci returned to the inner room and picked up a book to read.

His eyes were fixed on the book, but his mind was racing. Those memories, though long past, were now playing back vividly.

In her past life, Su Yaoguang had accompanied him to the provincial examination, but back then he was full of vigor and fawned over by many. He looked down on her for being unsophisticated and never took her out. Even when fellow examinees came to inquire about her identity, he would only say she was a servant. When she bought him things, he would complain that they were ugly. She wanted to go to the provincial market, but she only mustered the courage to mention it to him after the provincial examination was over, and he still didn't agree.

It turns out that her affections were never about him being indispensable. Now that she's with another man, she still cherishes him like a precious jewel, presenting him with her best self.

No, it's even better than it was for him. He didn't have such good fortune in his previous life.

Why?
How could Su Yaoguang be doing better and better after leaving him?

He was determined to pass the imperial examination with top honors, so that she would know what he had missed.

Su Yaoguang and Zhou Wangshu came out of the clothing store. They were wearing a different outfit when they went in, but they had changed into something else.

The shopkeeper warmly saw them out.

"Shopkeeper, we still want to enjoy our sightseeing. You can send someone to deliver the clothes we bought to our current accommodation tomorrow."

"Good."

As the two prepared for their next stop, they turned around and saw Zhong Chushan, Chen Buyu, and others, with more than a dozen students behind them.

Zhang Linglong was among them.

"You said you drank too much and wanted to rest at home today. We didn't know you moved. You moved here?" Zhong Chushan joked.

"Brother Zhong, Brother Zhou just wants to spend time with his wife, so please don't call him out on it."

Zhou Wangshu put his arm around Su Yaoguang's shoulder and readily admitted, "So what if I just want to keep Yaoguang company? You guys are all together, it won't make a difference if I'm here too. Yaoguang is unfamiliar with this place, so of course I have to consider her feelings."

"You brat!" the group laughed and scolded.

“Sister-in-law, since we’ve met, why don’t we have a meal together?” a student said.

“Okay!” Su Yaoguang said, “He can’t be with you, so I’ll apologize on his behalf. We’ll treat you to this meal.”

"Then let's go to Mingyue Tower!" Zhang Linglong said. "It's the best restaurant in the provincial capital, but I don't know if it's convenient. I heard it's a bit expensive."

“No problem,” Su Yaoguang said.

"Yaoguang, that restaurant is always fully booked lately, we're afraid we won't be able to make a reservation," Chen Buyu said.

"Are you stupid? Isn't that restaurant Aunt Cui Rong's restaurant? We went there on our very first day here," Zhong Chushan said.

"Right, I almost forgot. But Cui Rong isn't here today! Without him, I don't know if they'll give Yao Guang the time of day."

The group headed to Mingyue Tower. As soon as they entered, the manager greeted them. He recognized Su Yaoguang and whispered a few words to her.

After a while, Su Yaoguang returned and said to everyone, "The manager said they are full."

Zhang Linglong pouted, her eyes full of schadenfreude: "Oh dear, I thought you had a plan, but it looks like we won't be able to have this meal."

Zhang Fengyi frowned and tugged at Zhang Linglong: "Can you stop stirring things up?"

After saying that, he stepped in to smooth things over: "Actually, it doesn't matter where you eat. I see that several restaurants nearby have empty seats, so why don't we just find a place to grab a bite?"

“No need for that. I told the manager I’d pay him three times the price to let us use the private room the boss uses to entertain guests. He agreed,” Su Yaoguang said. “Last time we also went to the boss’s private room, but that day we were treated personally by the boss as friends of his nephew. My friend isn’t here today, so it’s not appropriate for me to ask for favors in his name. It’s more practical to spend some money.”

"Your sister-in-law is so generous!" A student next to Zhong Chushan asked, "What does your sister-in-law do to be so wealthy?"

“If you’ve ever been to our county, you’ll know who she is. Her shop is the most popular in the area, and she even received a plaque from the government. In our area, she is this…” Chen Buyu gave a thumbs up. “Don’t let Wang Shu’s good looks fool you, she’s really lucky to be with her.”
