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

Chapter 9 Stay
As soon as Su Yaoguang left, the shyness and uneasiness on Zhou Wangshu's face disappeared.

The woman spoke nicely, but I didn't know whether she was truly kind or just trying to appease him.

Whatever it was, it was certain that she was just an ordinary village girl. As long as his injuries healed, such a weak woman would not be a threat at all.

Since Zhang Zhaodi was not around, Su Yaoguang didn't want to prepare a complicated dinner, so after cleaning up, he made some spare ribs to make spare rib noodles.

She came to the woodshed carrying the fragrant spare ribs.

Zhou Wangshu, who had been resting with his eyes closed, smelled the aroma and his stomach growled. He slowly sat up and took the noodles she handed him.

"Thank you, Yaoguang."

Su Yaoguang waved her hand: "You're welcome, take your time eating, there's more if you don't have enough."

"That's enough. I've never eaten such a delicious meal."

Su Yaoguang felt comforted.

That’s right, this is the correct attitude to treat your savior.

After Su Yaoguang delivered noodles to Zhou Wangshu, she went to the kitchen and started eating her own portion.

She returned to the age of fifteen, and at this time, she and her mother were both frugal and hadn't touched meat for six months. At this time in her previous life, she had used all her money to buy Xiao Yanci. The family was unable to make ends meet and had to go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables. It was not until Zhang Zhaodi earned the next sum of money from delivering a baby that the family was able to buy rice. At that time, Xiao Yanci's face was very bad. Although he didn't say anything, he was sensitive enough to still sense his disdain.

In this life, she didn't use the money to buy Xiao Yanci. After buying rice, grain, and various meats, she still had quite a bit of money left. If she used it frugally, it would be enough for two or three months. Moreover, she would start making rouge and powder tomorrow, and then sell them in the city, which would make things more comfortable for her and her mother.

The next morning, Zhang Zhaodi returned tired.

"I'm so tired." Zhang Zhaodi said, "I'm going to sleep for a while. You make some breakfast."

"Mom, eat first, breakfast is ready." Su Yaoguang said.

"Okay, bring it over." Zhang Zhaodi was indeed very hungry and sat down in the lobby. While waiting for Su Yaoguang to bring breakfast, she slumped over the table weakly.

She had already been seriously ill and now had been working hard all night, so she looked even worse.

Su Yaoguang came over with the pork rib noodles.

"Did you buy flour yesterday?" Zhang Zhaodi frowned. "Even if you did, you can't waste it like this! It would be fine if there were guests, but with just the two of us and that dying kid, how could we possibly afford such good food? What else did you buy in town yesterday, and how much did you spend?"

"Mom, you're still sick, why can't you eat something good? Eat first, then have a good sleep. We can talk about anything later."

"You, you, I'll deal with you when I wake up." Zhang Zhaodi ate noodles with a pained look in her heart. After a few bites, she looked up and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"I ate it." Su Yaoguang said, "These are all yours."

Zhang Zhaodi muttered to herself as she ate noodles, "Last night, the woman had a difficult labor and lost a lot of blood. Luckily, she survived in the end. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten the money and would have been in big trouble. Although the owner did take the money, because the woman had a difficult labor and gave birth to a girl, they only gave her half of the money they were supposed to pay. What bad luck! The child isn't my own, so am I supposed to be responsible for whether it's a boy or a girl? They let the woman get so fat, it's a wonder she didn't have a difficult labor."

Su Yaoguang had always thought Zhang Zhaodi was fiery and difficult to get along with, and she would beat and scold her daughter, unlike Zhong Lanhua, who was kind and loving. Later, she particularly missed her nagging, her cold exterior and warm heart, and her face, which had been ravaged by life and looked older than her peers.

"Is it delicious? Mom."

"With all this meat, how could it not be delicious?" "My mother has worked hard all night, she deserves to be treated to a good meal. If she doesn't eat or wear clothes after working so hard, what's the point of life?"

Zhang Zhaodi touched Su Yaoguang's forehead and said, "Are you okay today? Why are you so sweet all of a sudden? What trouble have you gotten yourself into again?"

"Mom, can't you think of something nice for me?" Su Yaoguang said helplessly.

Zhang Zhaodi was really sleepy. She ate the noodles in a few big mouthfuls, leaving the spareribs in the bowl. She said with a look of disgust, "It's not tasty. You eat it!"

Su Yaoguang picked up the ribs and handed them to Zhang Zhaodi: "Here, let me feed them. The ribs I feed them will definitely be more delicious."

"You girl..." Zhang Zhaodi couldn't do anything with her, so she snatched the chopsticks from her hand and ate the ribs in big mouthfuls.

As he ate, nectar flowed from his eyes and dripped into the bowl.

Su Yaoguang pretended not to see it, stood up and walked outside: "I forgot to feed the chickens. Mom, you eat first. Put the bowl aside after you finish eating. I will wash it when I come back."

Zhang Zhaodi looked at Su Yaoguang's figure, and a soft look flashed in her eyes.

"Dad, have you seen this? Our daughter is this big now. Didn't you say you love her the most? If you saw her, you would definitely like her."

Su Yaoguang came back from feeding the chickens and saw that there was only an empty bowl left on the table. Zhang Zhaodi had gone back to her room to rest.

She put away the dishes and went to fetch water and collect firewood. She was now strong, so fetching water was easy for her and not tiring at all.

When she was fetching water, the person queuing in front of her was actually Xiao Yanci.

Xiao Yanci cranked the windlass with great effort, then stopped after a while, panting with exhaustion.

Su Yaoguang was getting impatient and urged, "Can you do it? If you can't, please move aside and let me go first."

Xiao Yanci frowned and tried to lift the bucket, but he couldn't. He looked at Su Yaoguang, wanting to ask for help, but felt embarrassed.

He looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, frowned, and looked very embarrassed.

In this situation, someone would usually ask him if he wanted help, he would nod reluctantly, and then someone would help him finish the work.

However, Su Yaoguang is not an ordinary person.

Seeing him like this, he strode forward, poured the water in his bucket into the well, threw the bucket down, and started cranking the windlass again.

"You..." Xiao Yanci was angry. "Why did you pour my water?"

"You're too slow, always dilly-dallying. If I wait for you, will we be able to get water today?" Su Yaoguang said impatiently, "Don't worry, I'll get you a bucket later."

Xiao Yanci's expression looked better.

It seemed the village girl planned to fetch her own water first, and then help him. So, although it was a bit selfish, it was at least kind-hearted.

Su Yaoguang filled his two buckets of water, threw them down, and after shaking up a full bucket of water, he said to Xiao Yanci beside him, "Come and fetch it! What are you still standing there like an idiot for? Why don't you fetch your own water? Why are you waiting for me to fetch it for you? A grown man like you is no better than a woman?"
