Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Chapter 220: For 1 ingot of silver, his wife sold him?

The villagers soon started talking about it: "Have you heard that a young lady from the Lu family has come to look for Yao Qingnian's husband!"

"Oh my! Did he pick up other girls outside and come to me?"

"That girl looks like a lady from a wealthy family."

"I can't believe that Lu Huaijin, who usually looks so handsome, is actually such a person."

"Don't judge a person by his appearance, do you understand?"

The news about Jiang Jingyi spread quickly in the village, and there were all kinds of versions. The most exaggerated one was that Lu Huaijin had started a family outside without telling his family, and his wife came to the house to ask for an explanation. The Lu family was probably in dire straits now.

Some people who were curious even went to the Lu family to investigate the news. Sure enough, they saw a strange girl in the yard, chasing Lu Huaijin. This made the rumors spread out of control.

"Ayue, that thing about your son can't be true, right?"

"What's the matter?" Liu Shuyue was busy making tofu and had no time to talk to anyone. When she went to the tofu shop, she saw that everyone looked at her strangely, and she thought it was related to that girl.

"It's about that girl and Huai Jin! Could it really be someone from outside?"

"Hey! What are you thinking about! That's Xiaolian, our distant relative. She's here to play for two days and then go back." Liu Shuyue felt a little guilty. Although her son said that she was the master's daughter, she thought that girl treated him differently.

"A distant relative! I told you so! Huai Jin is not that kind of person. He made me worry for nothing!" Liu Jinhua was worried that the story was true, so she came over to ask.

Jiang Jingyi heard the rumors outside, but she was not angry. Instead, she was quite happy, so she decided to test Yao Qingnian first.

Seeing Yao Qingnian sitting in the yard, she walked over with a box of silver and said, "Hey! Here's the silver for you. Divorce Brother Huaijin!"

"That's all?" Yao Qingnian glanced at the silver ingots in the box, which amounted to about one thousand taels.

"You think it's too little? I can add more! Just tell me a number!" Such a large amount of silver is enough for these country people to spend for a lifetime, yet they still think it's too little. How greedy.

"You want to buy my husband for one thousand taels? You are too insincere. He is only worth this much. Tsk tsk!" Yao Qingnian ignored her and went into the kitchen to help cook dinner.

"You!" Jiang Jingyi jumped in anger.

Yao Qingnian didn't do anything special for dinner. He just made five dishes: stuffed tofu, stir-fried bracken with meat, stewed radish, and sauerkraut and minced meat. It was really hard to cook with so many people. It was really tiring.

As winter approaches, there are no other edible vegetables in the fields except radishes and garlic sprouts.

"It's time to eat!"

The Lu family sat together in the yard, and a whirlwind came out, making the table seem a little small.

The old woman and the maid who came with Jiang Jingyi had ugly looks on their faces. The general had instructed that when they came here, they had to follow the local customs and not act like they were officials and seek special treatment, which would bring shame to the general's mansion.

But when this family sat together, how would their young lady, an unmarried girl, look like, especially with several grown men around, who didn't even know how to avoid suspicion.

The old woman was upset, but she couldn't show it. Lu Huaijin was the general's favorite disciple, and the young lady liked him. If she told everyone, she would not please both sides, and the young lady might even get angry. Forget it, it's better to have less trouble than more.

"Sit down!"

"We are servants and cannot eat at the same table with our masters." The old woman stood aside.

The two of them never sat down, but served Jiang Jingyi with their meal. The hierarchy in ancient times was very serious, so Yao Qingnian didn't say anything else.

"Miss! I don't know if the dishes here are clean or not. Please use the ones we brought!"

The old woman took out the special bowls and chopsticks.

Yao Qingnian wanted to curse. This woman actually disliked the unclean bowls in her house. "Then why should we eat? We might as well not eat. The rice is not clean either."

"You! You are so vulgar!"

Jiang Jingyi took a look at the dishes and chopsticks prepared by the Lu family. They were also clean, but she did not dislike them. In the past, on the battlefield, there were no dishes and chopsticks, so she just started using them. There was no need to be so pretentious.

"No need! Mammy, I'll just use this."

She picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating with them.

The old woman looked at the dishes on the table and frowned. There were so many people, but only four or five dishes, all of which were vegetarian, with not much meat. The food was worse than the food for the servants in the capital.

Liu Shuyue brought the freshly made soy milk. After hearing Yao Qingnian say that soy milk is healthy, the family replaced milk tea with soy milk.

Jiang Jingyi looked at the soy milk in the bowl, which was milky white and still steaming, and couldn't help but want to take a sip.

"Miss, what is this? You'd better not drink it. Drink the water we brought!" The old woman was yelling again.

Yao Qingnian rolled his eyes in his heart and wanted to throw this old woman out.

"It's okay, Brother Huaijin drank it too!"

I picked up the bowl and took a sip. I felt a warm current flowing from my throat into my stomach. The aroma of beans filled my nose. I couldn't help but drink up all the soy milk in the bowl. I felt so comfortable.

"Miss you..."

Drinking water like this doesn't look like a lady at all, alas...

"Delicious! What is this? I've never seen it before..."

The Lu family didn't talk much during the meal. It was the old woman and Jiang Jingyi who were chattering away, which was so annoying that it hurt people's ears.

Jiang Jingyi was enjoying her meal. The food looked ordinary but tasted very good. One has to say that this woman's cooking skills were really good.

After dinner, Liu Shuyue and the others went back to their room early to rest.

"Brother Huaijin, are you going to sleep in the same room with this woman? I'm a little scared, can you stay with me?"

Jiang Jingyi felt uncomfortable when she thought about them sleeping together. How could the man she liked be with another woman? So she pestered Lu Huaijin and wouldn't let him leave.

"This silver is for you. You are not allowed to sleep with Brother Huaijin tonight!" Jiang Jingyi threw a silver ingot to Yao Qingnian.

Yao Qingnian took the silver and glanced at them with a grin: "Okay! You guys chat slowly, I'm going back to my room to sleep first."

She had never planned to sleep in the same room with him, and she was not a fool if she didn't want to make money.

Lu Huaijin: "..."

Just for this one ingot of silver, his wife sold him out?

"If you continue to make trouble, I will send you back tomorrow morning." Lu Huaijin said with a cold face.

Jiang Jingyi then shut up obediently, glanced in the direction of Yao Qingnian's house, and reluctantly went back to the house.

Lu Huaijin sat in the yard, not knowing what he was thinking about, until late at night when he went to wash up and return to the house.

Yao Qingnian lay down on the bed with peace of mind after hearing the noise from the next room, tossing and turning: "This bastard, could he really be interested in that young lady? If it were a normal man, with the innocent Jiang Jingyi and a father like the general, how could he not be moved? But if he really has this idea, I will divorce him."

Thinking of this, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Just as she was daydreaming, the door was pushed open...
