Spatial Peasant Girl: These Mad Darlings Are Delicate and Gullible

Chapter 225: Inappropriate Age

Considering that they had to enter and leave the county every day in the future, everyone could not rely on their feet to travel. Hence, the Rong Family prepared a carriage and the two families drove out every day.

Horse carriages were also divided into grades. The one they bought was relatively cheap, but it was already the first carriage in the village. Fortunately, with studying and opening a shop as the vanguard, everyone was surprised and slowly got used to it.

They were used to understanding the Ning Family’s excellence and recognizing their excellence.

However, of course, there were also despicable people who were unwilling to admit the existence of others. For example, Old Madam Ning, who was pulling a matchmaker to her door, was used to looking down on outsiders, especially when Rong Yan came with the name of fleeing. Hence, even though she saw the carriage, her mind was not filled with confidence or strength, but with the words “pretending to be strong”, “pretending to be rich”.

This carriage was definitely rented to put on a show. How much could it cost?

She sniffled and thought, If you can’t even bear to throw away rotten eggs, why are you pretending to be from a rich family?

She had never gone to the Ning Family’s milk tea shop in the county. With her limited wisdom, she thought how delicious a beast’s milk could be? What kind of poor person would buy that thing? It was said that the Ning Family’s shop was rich. In her opinion, it was similar to selling sour bamboo shoots in the past. It was just a stall.

She had such a mysterious mental fortitude. She could still explain her intentions arrogantly.

“As a young man, it’s not easy for you to even have a decent meal in our

Fortune Village.”

The guards who had just eaten their fill: ???

Old Madam Ning became a demon because of everyone’s silence. She rolled her eyes arrogantly and continued, “To tell you the truth, my daughter has taken a fancy to you. I think you’re pitiful, so I don’t mind that you don’t have parents.

I picked a day for you to marry into our family…”

Before she could finish, Rong Yan said, “Get lost!

The guards, who had noticed their master’s expression, moved out in unison. They picked up their brooms and chased her away before slamming the door shut.

Old Madam Ning scolded as she walked, “Stinky outsider, don’t be shameless.

You’re a jinx who jinxed your parents. Other than my family, who else can want you?! With your qualifications, there wasn’t even an elder in the family when I proposed the marriage. Who would like you?! Aiyo, who is it?!”

Behind her, Zhao Hu and his wife, who were carrying bows and prey, put down the deer that was still bleeding with a cold expression. With blood all over their heads, they asked, “Who said that he doesn’t have elders?”

“Auntie, I respect you as an elder, but you should act like an elder. My nephew’s life is hard, but this is not a reason for you to come and bully him.”

He glanced at the matchmaker and said coldly, “Auntie Hu has been a matchmaker for so many years. Why don’t you know the rules today? How can anyone look for a junior directly when proposing marriage?

Matchmaker Hu felt bitter. She didn’t want to either. Wasn’t she forcefully dragged here by Old Madam Ning?!

■■Aiyo, look at me. I’m old and muddle-headed. Then Brother Zhao Hu, what do you think of this marriage?”

Zhao Hu rejected him directly. “Their ages don’t match. You can go to another

house.”

These words pinched Little Aunt Ning’s sore spot. An 18-year-old girl, who had high standards but low qualifications, had yet to get married. Countless people secretly laughed at her, but it was really rare for someone to point it out directly like this.

Zhao Hu was obviously furious and did not plan to save face for the old residence. He usually did not talk much because he hunted for a living. The couple did not have children or elders. Most of the time, they were not at home and were not very close to the villagers. However, he lived in the mountains all year round, and his iron-blooded aura was still very scary.

At the very least, Old Madam Ning instantly shut up and didn’t dare to act rashly again. However, after walking far away, she still muttered something about a jinx, a fiend, and an extinction…

The jinx was scolding Rong Yan, while the jinx and extinction were talking about Zhao Hu. His wife could not get pregnant for many years. Occasionally, the villagers would gossip in private. They all said that it was because he had killed too many animals and that it was retribution from the heavens. People like Old Madam Ning, who had no manners, would directly fabricate that they had no one to send them off after death. However, these words were also Zhao Hu’s sore spot.

Even his usually shrewish wife was rarely quiet. The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Zhao Hu was the first to break the silence. He brought the roe deer to Rong Yan. “I was lucky today and got a roe deer. I’ll pick the camphor in its stomach and sell it later to buy you a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

After some thought, he said, “Reject whatever you’re unwilling to do. Just beat up those you don’t like. Don’t worry about anything else.”

Zhao Hu was a man of few words and did not interact much with Rong Yan these days. Because the two families did not live together and their schedules were different, they did not even see each other much, but this person cared for his nephew.

Other than staying at home for a period of time when Rong Yan’s house was built he often went out to hunt later. He would stay in the mountains for a long time and would most likely come back late at night. Moreover, he was so tired that he slept for an entire day and missed Rong Yan perfectly when he woke up again.

Of course, Rong Yan did this on purpose. After all, although he used his nephew’s identity, he really didn’t know how to interact with this uncle in name.

Ever since he “entered” the Bowen Academy, Zhao Hu had started to go out at a higher frequency than usual. Rong Yan did not think much of it at first, but now that he saw the scattered silver coins in Zhao Hu’s hand, he realized that Zhao Hu was in such a hurry to hunt prey to earn money. Perhaps it was for him.

Hearing the commotion, Xiaoxiao opened the courtyard door and only saw the tightly shut courtyard door next door and Old Madam Ning’s back. She was also at a loss. Seeing that it was almost time to set off, she couldn’t think too much and ran back to pack.

On the way to the county, Rong Yan suddenly asked Xiaoxiao, “Have you chosen anyone to look after the fruit trees and that mountain from now on?” Xiaoxiao shook her head. Previously, she wanted to give half of the money to Rong Yan to buy the mountain, but he rejected her, so she took on the mission of “buying” saplings. However, the person to look after the mountain was indeed not chosen yet.

After the saplings were planted, someone needed to take care of them from time to time to prevent any accidents. They also had to prevent anyone from secretly going up the mountain to cut the trees. This person did not have to be proficient in planting, but he had to be trustworthy.

Little Big Brother’s family and her own family were the only ones Xiaoxiao could trust, but everyone was very busy.

“Little Big Brother, did you find a reliable person by asking this? Rong Yan handed her a cushion. “H-how about my uncle and aunt? Xiaoxiao yawned. “They’re quite good. Uncle Zhao Hu is kind and Aunt is also a warm-hearted person. Moreover, there’s a lot of prey on our mountain. When he patrols the mountain, he could set some traps while guarding the mountain…”

As she spoke, she fell asleep.

She woke up early every day and would catch up on her sleep in the carriage. After she fell asleep, Rong Yan stopped talking. Ning Ansheng covered her with the blanket, and the three men consciously sat outside the car. Thᴇ link to the origin of this information rᴇsts in Noᴠelꜰire

Ning Anhui replied, “Uncle Zhao has a hard life. If not for Auntie Zhao, he probably wouldn’t even have been able to find a wife.” Rong Yan was rarely curious about outsiders.. “What do you mean?
