Because of the pain, Li Fugui's originally handsome face was contorted into a ball. Coupled with the folding fan in his hand, he looked even more unsightly.
Li Fugui was in a sorry state as he hugged his hand and ran away.
Just a moment ago, he had solemnly vowed to cut the pigweed for Jiujiu. In the end, he didn't even manage to cut a single blade of grass and injured his hand. Now that he had to leave in a sorry state, it was simply embarrassing.
Looking at Li Fugui's back, Jiujiu pursed her lips and continued to cut the pigweed.
Although Chen Zhangsheng's family wasn't rich, they had many fields. Therefore, they had to work in the fields until very late every day. Therefore, lunch was always prepared by Jiujiu.
Therefore, Jiujiu had to finish cutting the pigweed before cooking and return home to cook dinner for the family.
The pigweed was tall and dense, and the roots of the pigweed were especially flexible. Even though Chen Zhangsheng had sharpened the sickle until it was incomparably sharp, Jiujiu's delicate body didn't have much strength in her hands. Even with Jiujiu's willpower supporting her, she was still unbearably tired. After an hour, she still hadn't cut half a basket of pigweed. However, it was almost lunchtime. No matter how much Jiujiu wanted to cut the pigweed, she could only return to cook first.
Jiujiu stood up straight and rubbed her sore wrist from cutting the pigweed. She raised her hand to wipe the sweat on her forehead and looked at the pigweed in the basket. Just as she was thinking about how much pigweed she could cut before she had to go home, a male voice suddenly sounded from behind her.
Unlike Li Fugui's unpleasant voice that sounded like a male duck, this male voice was deep and mellow. It was so sexy that it could make one's ears pregnant. Moreover, his tone was even more rhythmic. It was very comfortable to listen to.
"Jiu Niang?"
Jiujiu turned around and saw Huang Yixiao from Chen Jiujiu's memory.
Chen Jiujiu didn't like Huang Yixiao, and because her father insisted on her marriage with Huang Yixiao, she especially hated Huang Yixiao. Even when Huang Yixiao came to propose marriage, Chen Jiujiu only glanced at Huang Yixiao from afar.
In Chen Jiujiu's memory, Huang Yixiao was exceptionally tall. He was clearly a scholar, but his body was exceptionally muscular. Even though he was wearing clothes, she could feel the explosive power of his muscles. Compared to his identity as a scholar, he looked more like a hunter. Moreover, he had an exceptionally tough face.
His silhouette looked as if it had been carved out by an axe. He had dashing eyebrows and a pair of eyes that were as sharp as an eagle's. His lips were thin and his chin was firm and stylish.
Huang Yixiao wasn't ugly, but in this era that focused on elegance and elegance, his appearance was too rigid. It didn't fit the current aesthetic standards, so it was understandable that Chen Jiujiu didn't like him.
In Jiujiu's memory, the first time Chen Jiujiu and Huang Yixiao met was when he proposed marriage. At that time, Chen Jiujiu was still angry because Chen Changsheng forced her to marry Huang Yixiao. Therefore, she didn't like Huang Yixiao's arrival. She wasn't even willing to go out. It was only when Ma Ju nudged her that she took a look at him from afar.
Jiujiu originally thought that her first meeting with Huang Yixiao would be when Huang Yixiao proposed marriage. She didn't expect that their first meeting would be when she came to harvest pigweed.
Jiujiu was stunned for a moment. She nodded at Huang Yixiao who asked her and said, "En, Big Brother Huang is also here to harvest pigweed?"
Although Jiujiu and Huang Yixiao were about to be engaged, Huang Yixiao hadn't sent the betrothal gifts yet. Therefore, Jiujiu still addressed Huang Yixiao as Big Brother Huang.
Huang Yixiao's eyes were as bright as obsidian as he stared fixedly at Jiujiu.
Jiujiu was very beautiful. She had an almond-shaped face and peachy cheeks. She had a pair of big bright eyes, which were as beautiful as the stars in the sky. Below her perky nose was a small cherry-like mouth. Her lips were a beautiful pink, making people want to kiss her. However …
Seeing Jiujiu's red and swollen eyelids that were like walnuts, Huang Yixiao's eyes instantly darkened.
Everyone loved beauty. Jiujiu was a famous beautiful girl in the surrounding villages. Her face was white and tender like a peeled egg. She didn't have the redness of the mountain girls at all. Jiujiu's fingers were delicate and white like a spring onion. When Chen Zhangsheng came to find him to arrange a marriage between him and Jiujiu, as a normal man, Huang Yixiao's heart was naturally happy. After all, no one wouldn't want a beautiful wife.
However, he was also aware of his family's situation.
Many years ago, his father was seriously ill. All of the family's savings were used to treat his father's illness. As for his mother, it was needless to say. After his father passed away, his mother suffered a huge blow and was still paralyzed in bed. His family didn't have any savings and even owed a lot of debts because of his father's illness.
Jiujiu was such a good girl. Even if he especially liked her in his heart, Huang Yixiao still rejected Chen Zhangsheng.
Huang Yixiao didn't want to drag Jiujiu down.
However, he did not expect that Chen Zhangsheng would be so happy after he rejected him. He was even more certain of Huang Yixiao's character and his determination to marry Jiujiu to him. This was something that Huang Yixiao did not expect.
Because of Chen Zhangsheng's insistence, Huang Yixiao agreed. They originally agreed to propose marriage on the 15th of this month. However, when he went up the mountain just now, he saw Jiujiu's back. Huang Yixiao was a little worried about Jiujiu, so he followed.
He also saw the scene of Li Fugui giving Jiujiu rouge with a flattering face.
Huang Yixiao only felt bitterness in his mouth and his heart was especially bitter. He also knew the situation of Li Fugui's family, but because he knew, he was even more ashamed.
Jiujiu was a famous beauty in the surrounding villages. The only person who could match her here was only Li Fugui.
Li Fugui's family had money and land, and Li Fugui's family was famous for being rich. If Jiujiu could marry Li Fugui, the glory and wealth in the future would naturally come easily.
However, what Huang Yixiao didn't expect was that Jiujiu actually rejected Li Fugui and even started to cut the pigweed.
When Li Fugui wanted to snatch Jiujiu's sickle, Huang Yixiao wanted to stop him, but before he stood up, Li Fugui ran away screaming. Looking at the wound on the sickle in Li Fugui's hand, although it wasn't very moral, Huang Yixiao was still particularly gloating.
Just like that, he stood quietly not far away and watched Jiujiu cut the pigweed. Until just now, Jiujiu looked at the basket of pigweed with a conflicted expression. Her small mouth and her conflicted little movements made Huang Yixiao's heart soften. So, he couldn't help but call out to Jiujiu.
However, now, seeing Jiujiu's eyes that were swollen like walnuts, Huang Yixiao was a little hesitant.
Crying like this, she must be disgusted with me.
