Quick Wear Dream Qiqi

Chapter 455: The Farmer Girl is Pregnant 7

Yes, it was clearly Young Master Wu who started the assault, and the little girl was just acting in self-defense.

Wu Wenxuan was speechless after being scolded by Meng Qiqi. Thinking of the tingling feeling just now, he felt a little scared and a little angry.

He pointed at Meng Qiqi and said through gritted teeth, "Okay! Very good! Just wait for me! I won't let you go!"

After saying this, he no longer cared about the ginseng and ran away in shame with his servants.

Peace finally returned to the pharmacy.

Shopkeeper Li wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Meng Qiqi with eyes full of awe: "Little girl, are you...are you okay?"

Meng Qiqi shook her head: "It's okay."

She put away the electric baton and said to Shopkeeper Li, "Shopkeeper Li, my money..."

"Oh! Yes! Money!" Shopkeeper Li quickly came to his senses and took out five hundred taels of silver from the back hall, wrapped it in a cloth bag, and handed it to Meng Qiqi, "Little girl, this is five hundred taels of silver, please count it."

Meng Qiqi took the silver and felt it was heavy, but she felt at ease.

She nodded: "No need to order, thank you, Shopkeeper Li."

After saying that, she turned and left Huichun Hall.

Walking out of the pharmacy, Meng Qiqi took a deep breath.

I got five hundred taels of silver, completed half of the system task, and also taught the male supporting role a lesson. It was really satisfying!

[Ding! The host successfully repelled the male supporting character's harassment, and the melon-eating progress increased by 5%. Completed the hidden event "Male supporting character's harassment", and gained comfort level +50 and points +200. Current comfort level is 305, and points are 300.]

The comfort level has exceeded 300! I also got 200 points!

Meng Qiqi was in a good mood.

She looked at the sky and realized it was getting late, so it was time to go home.

However, before returning home, she had to hide the five hundred taels of silver first.

She found an empty corner, put the silver into the space, and then walked towards Mengjia Village.

On the way, she couldn't help but think of Wu Wenxuan's deflated face again, and a smug smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

This male supporting role is too weak.

It seems that the world of "The Happy Farmer Girl" not only has the sweet stories of the male and female protagonists, but also the funny stories of the supporting male character. It is becoming more and more interesting.

[Ding! The host is in a good mood, comfort level +5, current comfort level is 310.]

Well, comfortable.

…………

a few days later.

The days are short in autumn. Meng Qiqi squatted in the corner of her dilapidated courtyard, peeling potatoes with a piece of broken bowl.

It has been almost half a month since my parents passed away, and there is still half a stick of incense in the incense burner in front of the mourning hall, with faint smoke floating in the air.

She was wearing patched mourning clothes, and the cuffs were worn white, but her eyes were bright and she glanced at the village entrance from time to time - I heard from Aunt Wang next door yesterday that a man from the neighboring village, Li's family, was coming to the village to propose marriage today.

"Qiqi girl! Are you home?" A noisy voice came from outside the courtyard gate. It was the village matchmaker Liu Pozi.

Meng Qiqi threw the potatoes into the clay basin, patted the mud off her hands, and slowly went to open the door.

Mrs. Liu squeezed in carrying a bamboo basket with two brown sugar cakes in it. "Why didn't you open the door earlier, kid? Look, this is the gift that Butcher Li asked me to give you!"

Meng Qiqi glanced at the greasy cake and didn't respond.

She knew the butcher Li's family. His son, Li Ergou, was five years older than her. His wife had just died last year. She heard that he was a gambler and a wife-beater.

"Mrs. Liu," Meng Qiqi leaned against the door frame and said in a faint voice, "My parents are still on the seventh day of their death, so I can't bring up this matter."

"Hey, that's nothing!" Granny Liu put the cake on the table, spit flying everywhere. "Butcher Li said we'll get engaged first, and then we'll marry after you've finished your mourning period! His family will give you ten taels of silver as a betrothal gift, enough for you to bury your parents with all the splendor you can muster!"

Ten taels of silver?

Meng Qiqi snorted in her heart.

When the original owner's parents were buried, his uncle and aunt only bought them a thin coffin. I'm afraid half of the ten taels of silver would go into their pockets.

She glanced at Mrs. Liu's greasy face and suddenly laughed, "Mother-in-law, have you ever seen a girl get engaged while in mourning? Aren't you afraid that it will ruin the wedding and cause Li Ergou to have another wife?"

Mrs. Liu's face froze: "How can you talk like that? Li the butcher's family respects you..."

"I can't bear such esteem." Meng Qiqi picked up the broom from the wall. "I haven't finished my filial piety to my parents yet, so I don't have the heart to talk about marriage. If you have nothing to do, please go back and don't get in the way while I burn incense to my parents."

"You! You don't know what's good for you!" Mrs. Liu was so angry that she jumped up and down. "Ten taels of silver! How many girls are looking forward to marrying into the Li family!"

"Then let them wait." Meng Qiqi handed the broom forward, and the broom almost poked Liu Pozi's nose. "If you don't leave now, I'll use the broom to chase you away."

Seeing the coldness in her eyes, Mrs. Liu felt a pang in her heart.

Wasn’t this girl quite boring before?

Why does it look like a different person?

She muttered "You don't know how to be polite", grabbed the bamboo basket and ran out, not even daring to pick up a piece of candy cake that fell on the ground.

Meng Qiqi slammed the door shut and leaned against it, pouting.

You want to sell her for ten taels of silver?

What if she is a cabbage on the roadside?

She brushed off the dust on her mourning clothes, and suddenly heard rustling footsteps outside the wall, mixed with the laughter of men and women.

"Oh, isn't this Mr. Lin from the east end of the village? Why is he walking with the girl from the Liu family?" It was Aunt Wang's loud voice.

Meng Qiqi's eyes lit up, and she quickly stood on tiptoe to look out through the crack in the door.

Under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, a scholar in a long green cloth gown was handing a handkerchief to a girl with a red hairband with a blushing face. The girl took it shyly, and the two of them lowered their heads and said a few words. Then the scholar ran away with his book box on his back, and the girl laughed out loud while holding the handkerchief.

"Tsk tsk, didn't Mr. Lin say he wanted to concentrate on reading only the books of sages?"

"Hush! Keep your voice down! The Liu family's daughter is the most beautiful girl in our village. I heard that Mr. Lin's mother has taken a fancy to her and is asking someone to arrange a marriage for her!"

"Forget it! Liu's father said he wants twenty taels of silver as a betrothal gift. Mr. Lin's family is so poor that they can't even come up with that even if they sell their house!"

Meng Qiqi listened with great interest, tapping lightly on the door panel with her fingers.

Twenty taels of silver?

Enough for her to buy a small yard in town.

As she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard a "crack" behind her. Turning around, she saw that the dead branch of the old locust tree in the corner had broken and fell on the dried radishes she was drying.

"Damn!" Meng Qiqi cursed and hurried to pick up the dried radishes.

I had just picked up two handfuls when I heard noises coming from outside the wall again, this time the sound of horse hooves.

Curious, she peeked through the crack in the door again and saw a group of people carrying a sedan chair into the village. The guards in the lead were wearing shiny armor and looked very majestic.

"Who is this? Why is there such a big show?"

"I haven't seen him before. Could he be a wealthy man in town?"

"Look! The curtain of the sedan chair has been lifted!"

Meng Qiqi followed the crowd's gaze and saw a hand wearing a jade ring extending from the sedan chair. Next came a young man in a brocade robe. He had a fair face and no beard, and was waving a folding fan in his hand. He was frowning as he looked at the muddy road in the village.

"Oh my God! Isn't this Mr. Zhao from the county town? I heard his family runs a silk and satin shop!"

"What is Mr. Zhao doing in our poor village?"

"Didn't you see him staring at the Liu family's daughter? Tsk tsk, it looks like Mr. Lin's love rival has arrived!"

Meng Qiqi's eyes widened and she even forgot to pick up the dried radish in her hand.

Wow, this plot is so melodramatic!

A poor scholar vs. a rich young man, competing to marry the village beauty?

Isn’t this definitely another script for the male and female protagonists?

She quickly squatted down, pretending to sort out the dried radishes, but her ears perked up, afraid of missing a good show.

"Miss Liu," Young Master Zhao walked over, fanning himself, his voice somewhat frivolous, "I heard you're good at embroidery. This young master's fan is just missing a pendant. I wonder if you could..."

"Sorry, I have something else to do." Miss Liu bowed and wanted to leave with the handkerchief in her arms, but was stopped by Mr. Zhao.

"Hey, young lady, why do you have to keep someone at a distance?" Young Master Zhao leaned forward and said, "As long as you follow me, let alone twenty taels of betrothal gift, even if it's two hundred taels, I will..."

"Snapped!"

A crisp slap interrupted his words.

Meng Qiqi was so scared that her hands shook and the dried radish scattered all over the floor.

Miss Liu had red eyes and raised her hand, while Mr. Zhao covered his face with his hands, looking incredulous.

"You scoundrel!" Miss Liu cursed, turned around and ran away, her red hairband fluttering in the wind like a ball of fire.

Young Master Zhao was stunned for a long moment, then suddenly became furious and said, "Go after me! If you dare to hit me, I'll skin you alive!"

The guards immediately chased after him, and the village was thrown into chaos.

Meng Qiqi lay on the crack of the door, her heart pounding with emotion as she watched.

My God, this village girl is so tough!

Much more exciting than those timid heroines!

She was watching intently when she suddenly heard someone cough behind her.

"Ahem, um... Miss Meng, can you open the door? I'd like to have a drink of water."

Meng Qiqi was startled and looked back, only to see a young scholar in a gray cloth gown standing outside the courtyard gate with a few books in his hands. It was the scholar Lin from before.

His face was pale and there was sweat on his forehead. It seemed that he had run here.

Meng Qiqi raised her eyebrows. You're here already?

A hero saves a beauty?

Or are you here to inquire about the enemy's situation?

She slowly opened the door, deliberately keeping a straight face: "Mr. Lin, I am still in mourning. Men and women are not allowed to touch each other."

Lin Xiucai's face flushed red, and he quickly took a step back. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I was just passing by and saw the commotion over here, so I wanted to ask... Is Miss Liu okay?"

Meng Qiqi was happy in her heart, but pretended not to understand. "Miss Liu? It seems that you were bullied by a young man in silk clothes just now. He beat him up and ran away. What's the matter? Do you know him?"

When Mr. Lin heard this, he rubbed his hands anxiously: "Is it Mr. Zhao? Why is he here? No, I have to go and see!"

After saying that, he wanted to run towards the village entrance, but was stopped by Meng Qiqi.

"Hey, Mr. Lin," Meng Qiqi leaned against the door frame, looking at him with a half-smile, "Are you going just like that? Mr. Zhao has brought so many guards with him, can you defeat them?"

Lin Xiucai froze in place, his face turning even redder, as red as a boiled shrimp: "I... I just went to check, in case Miss Liu was in danger..."

"Come on," Meng Qiqi curled her lips. "With your delicate skin and tender flesh, you'll just be a target if you go. In my opinion, you should go home and read your sage books first. When you pass the imperial examination one day, it won't be too late to go and save the beauty."

Lin Xiucai was left speechless by her words and stood there at a loss as to what to do.

Meng Qiqi looked at his embarrassed look and felt happy.

Tsk tsk, this scholar is too innocent. Compared with the arrogant Mr. Zhao just now, he is like a little white rabbit meeting a big bad wolf.

"Alright, alright, you're so anxious," Meng Qiqi waved her hand. "Miss Liu ran east, and Mr. Zhao's men are chasing her west. Everything's fine for now. If you're really worried, go look for her in the east, but don't confront her head-on. If you can't win, run away. Do you understand?"

Mr. Lin nodded quickly and said, "Thank you, Miss Meng, for the reminder! Thank you!" Then he ran to the east with the book in his arms.

Meng Qiqi looked at his back and couldn't help laughing.

This ancient storyline is really exciting. In just half a day, I watched a rejection of a marriage proposal, a hero saving a beauty (unsuccessful attempt), and a rich young man forcibly seizing a commoner girl (unsuccessful attempt).

It seems that the days of mourning are not boring. There are melons to eat every day, which is more exciting than watching TV series in modern times.

She closed the door, picked up the dried radish on the ground, and suddenly felt a little hungry.

Remembering that there were sweet potatoes baked yesterday in the space, he secretly took one out and started to eat it while sitting on the doorstep.

After eating the sweet and soft sweet potatoes, my whole body felt warm.

As she gnawed, she pondered what had just happened.
