Chapter 22

 Cheng Yeran glanced at the string of copper coins on the table: "Ah, I understand. Just now I asked you to keep accounts, and you said I did it on purpose. You thought I knew you were illiterate, and I deliberately asked you to keep accounts. , think I'm mocking you?"

  Shen Yuntang turned his head and stared at the table legs: "Isn't it?"

  "Of course not. I just asked casually and didn't think too much about it. Next time you come to collect money, I will keep the accounts." Cheng Yeran just forgot about Shen Yuntang's character design. This is an ancient setting, but not In modern times, it is normal for a country boy to be illiterate. Shen Yuntang is just acting according to his personality.

  Now Cheng Yeran feels that this variety show is more and more interesting. This variety show only gives a character, a rough plot, and rules. The rest is all up to you. There is no specific script, and what lines will the person who plays opposite him say? He was completely unclear and very challenging.

  Moreover, Shen Yuntang has a good sense of drama, and it is easy to get involved in scenes opposite him. He even feels inferior. Although he has been acting for so many years, he is not as good as a newcomer.

  After Cheng Yeran explained to him, he found that he was still angry, probably because of the tofu thing. "Do you think that the people in the village know about the tofu thing, but you don't, thinking that I treat you as an outsider? Could it be that your friend used to Do you know everything? Haven't you ever had a time when someone forgot to share something with you?"

  "But I don't treat you as someone else." Shen Yuntang looked up at him, with anger and grievance in his tone, "What do you think of me?"

  Cheng Yeran happened to lean over and look at him. From this angle, he looked pitiful. It was the first time he saw a pitiful expression on a boy's face, and he didn't find it annoying.

  If another boy cried easily, he would definitely think that boy was too artificial and could really pretend, but Shen Yuntang was so beautiful that no matter what he did, he was right and even made people's hearts flutter.

  Heartbeat!

  The word popped into Cheng Yeran's mind, and his heart beat rapidly. He quickly raised his head, not daring to look at Shen Yuntang.

  He felt that Shen Yuntang's beauty was too alluring, and unconscious seduction was the most deadly.

  Seeing him turn his head away, Shen Yuntang guessed that he was evading his own question, "Do you treat me as your husband? I don't ask you to treat me as your beloved. I only ask that you treat me as your husband." Treated like family."

  "You seem to regard making money by making tofu as your own business. You don't tell me anything. You will only call me when you need my help. It's like I am a servant at your command. There is no need to tell me everything. They told me, there is no use telling me." Shen Yuntang remembered that when Xia Xiaowu looked down on him in his previous life, Xia Xiaowu thought this way, and often said things like, 'It's useless to tell you, you know nothing.' , left a psychological shadow on him. Even if he knew that Cheng Yeran was different from Xia Xiaowu, he would not be able to help thinking this way.

  But he doesn't care about others. He doesn't care what others think. It's best not to bother him with their affairs, but Cheng Yeran is different.

  Cheng Yeran was different to him.

  He held his chest. After this sentence came out of his mind, his heart couldn't help but beat fast, as if it was written in a storybook.

  In his previous life, the prefect's daughter married into the Xia family and became Xia Xiaowu's equal wife. At first, the prefect's daughter was very kind to him. She would chat with him and share her hobbies with him. She also told him the contents of the storybook.

  He listened to many stories about love. Why do people's emotions become so complicated when they fall in love with another person, such as joy, suffering, restlessness, happiness, grievance, unwillingness...

  Every time she told the story in the picture book, she always showed a yearning look. At that time, he was still thinking about what there was to yearn for in such a torturous thing as love.

  And now he was experiencing it.

  His emotions seemed to have become complicated recently. He glanced at Cheng Yeran secretly and found that Cheng Yeran turned to look at him. The moment the two people's eyes met, he quickly turned his head as if he had been burned. Head turned away.

  "Forget it, no matter what you want to say in the future, you can say it, and if you don't want to say it, don't say it. I don't care at all." Shen Yuntang stood up and pushed him away, "Get out of the way, there are still a lot of things to do. ."

  "You don't want to change people, do you? That won't work." Cheng Yeran wanted to chase him out, but the door was closed by Shen Yuntang before he went out, almost slapping his nose crookedly, "Why are you so grumpy? "

  ...

  The news that Cheng Yeran's family started selling tofu spread in the village, and Shen Yunfeng also heard the rumor.

  He couldn't hear any good rumors about his cousin. He had lived in his cousin's shadow since he was a child. Both of his parents were dead. His cousin's parents lived here, and his brothers pampered him. He was obviously very beautiful, but He was always said to be worse than his cousin. When his cousin was around, he always became a foil. He didn't want to be a foil anymore.

  Now my cousin's family has started selling tofu. There is only one tofu seller in the village, so it is easy to imagine how profitable it is.

  Xia Xiaowu will be the county magistrate in three years. After three years, Cheng Yeran will become a wealthy family in the village. He can't endure three years anymore.

  He has never had a good day since he got married. His mother-in-law and sisters-in-law make things difficult for him, and there is endless work to do every day. The eldest brother and the second brother often say bad things about him to Xia Xiaowu, saying that he is not dignified and always laughs. Know who to seduce.

  Even if sometimes he didn't smile and just glanced at his eldest brother or second brother, they would tell Xia Xiaowu that it was not a good idea for him to deliberately seduce others with his eyes.

  Xia Xiaowu often scolded him for this matter, and even beat him once.

  How he hoped that Xia Xiaowu could quickly take the position of county magistrate. Then there would be servants to take care of him. He would not have to work too hard. He could also live in a separate courtyard from his eldest and second brothers, avoiding a lot of trouble. The most important thing was to make his cousin jealous of him. .

  He secretly put down what he was doing and went back to his room to find Xia Xiaowu. Xia Xiaowu was writing something. When he saw him coming in, he asked casually: "Are the clothes washed?"

  Shen Yunfeng felt a little suffocated when he heard the tone in which he ordered him as a matter of course. If there was no cousin's man to compare, he would also feel that it was a matter of course for him to wash clothes. But since he saw Cheng Yeran feeling sorry for his cousin, he helped Tang After my brother washed his clothes, he also imagined that after getting married, Xia Xiaowu would worry about him being tired and help him wash his clothes.

  As a result, after getting married, Xia Xiaowu seemed to be a different person. She was no longer gentle to him and no longer had sweet words. She even often didn't talk to him at home, and he didn't get an answer when he tried to talk to him.

  Today he heard Xia Xiaowu ask him if the laundry was done. Although he was suffocated at first, he became happy again when he thought that Xia Xiaowu took the initiative to talk to him today, "It's almost done."

  "Then why don't you hurry up and wash up? Why are you taking so long?" Xia Xiaowu said in a perfunctory tone.

  "You have studied so well. If you take the imperial examination in advance, can you pass it?" Shen Yunfeng wants Xia Xiaowu to take the examination this year. In his eyes, Xia Xiaowu is super good at reading, but he just lacks self-confidence. Encourage the other person and take the exam this year. Maybe he will be the wife of the county magistrate this year.

  "What do you mean? Are you ordering me around?" Xia Xiaowu pushed him away impatiently, "Block the light, get out of the way."

  He pushed a little hard this time, and Shen Yunfeng lost his footing and fell on the table, knocking over the ink and spilling it onto the article Xia Xiaowu had just written.

  "Ah, I, I, I..." Shen Yunfeng stood up nervously, trying to save the table, but the piece of paper was so dark that he couldn't keep it anymore.

  His hands were covered with ink, and he looked at Xia Xiaowu pitifully, trying to get an apology or comfort, but he ended up looking at Xia Xiaowu's angry face.

  Xia Xiaowu reached out and grabbed his hair, pressing it hard on the table.

  ...

  Cheng Yeran's tofu is selling very well, selling out two plates of tofu every day. Cheng Yeran is still thinking about buying two more molds to make more money.

  But this time, there is no need to buy molds online. Let Shen Yuntang's father make them. This will allow his father-in-law to make some money and will not make Shen Yuntang lose his temper.

  I don't know why, Shen Yuntang has been avoiding him these days, not even looking at him, as if he is nothing, and she hates him so much...

  ...

  There are new rumors in the village these days. The Cheng family will lock the door after selling tofu. They lock the door in broad daylight and don't know what they are doing inside.

  Uncle Zhang told everyone as if he knew the inside story. He saw that there seemed to be an outsider in the Cheng family that day. Making tofu was so profitable, how could he just sell it to Cheng Yeran? The recipe was actually exchanged by Cheng Yeran for Shen Yuntang, so that the foreigner who knew how to make tofu could live at home and do that with Shen Yuntang every day, so he had to lock the door.

  At the beginning, not many people believed it, but gradually many people began to believe what Uncle Zhang said about having a nose and eyes.

  Someone also kindly reminded Uncle Zhang: "The Cheng family boy is crazy. If you tell his family's secrets, be careful of him taking revenge on you."

  Uncle Zhang: "He means to say, looking at how scared you are, he really dares to do anything to me?"
