Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 790: Meeting Wang Shichu

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xiang Ling’er took out a dried wood ear in the courtyard and gave everyone an example. She explained it very clearly.

Wang Shichu saw that she really did not hide anything from them. It was as if she was afraid that others would not be able to learn this skill. Other than shock, he was speechless.

Were these people kind or stupid? Why did they not hide their abilities?

Nowadays, a skill, even a baking skill, was something that one could only dream of. Even the shops in town had apprentices work for free for a few years. How much they could learn in the end depended on their ability. Even if they were very capable, they could only see the surface. The subsequent achievements were all up to them.

Therefore, crafts had to be passed down from generation to generation, or they would only be able to achieve something when they reached middle age or even old age. The difficulties involved were needless to say.

“Do you really believe what she taught you? Aren’t you afraid that she will deliberately mislead you? This is a craft. How can she tell you so casually?” Wang Shichu could not hold it in anymore and immediately said what was on his mind.

A woman beside him heard this and rolled her eyes. “What nonsense are you talking about? We saw it with our own eyes. How can it be fake?”

“Do you really think that everyone is like you, always thinking that others are bad?”

“Wait, why is there a man here? Aren’t all men going up the mountain to get the wood ears?”

Wang Shichu cursed in his heart and was about to slip away.

He was caught.

“Ah! It’s Landlord Wang!” An old woman screamed when she saw him.

“Why is he here? As expected, the one who said that nonsense is not from our village. So it’s Landlord Wang!”

“Hurry up and send someone to chase him out.”

“Wait a moment…” Wang Shichu only had time to shout before he was pushed out by the women. Some people even pulled his hair and twisted his arms.

Wang Shichu was in so much pain that he cried out, but his voice was drowned out by the voices of the women.

In the middle of the courtyard, when Xiang Ling’er heard the words ‘Landlord Wang’, her expression instantly changed. Her eyes widened as she looked at the crowd with a hint of surprise.

When he saw Wang Shichu, she immediately took two steps back in fear.

Just as she was about to run away in fear, a hard chest suddenly appeared behind her. She turned around in panic and saw Du Heng.

Du Heng still had a warm smile on his face, but his eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed across them.

“It’s okay. I’m here. He won’t dare to do anything.” Although the Du family looked like a merchant on the surface and could not even be considered a landlord, that was only on the surface.

He really did not care about a small landlord like Wang Shichu, especially when the other party dared to scheme against Ling’er. He had long thought of ways to punish him.

Wang Shichu still did not know that he would be unlucky. He was being beaten up by a group of village women. Perhaps it was because there were more people, and he had ordered people to give them laxatives previously. Many men were unlucky and almost could not even stand straight at that time.

Under such circumstances, the women did not hold back at all and started fighting him.

By the time the coachman at the door and the servants realized that their master had been beaten up, it had already been quite a while.

“Thank you, Brother Du. I’m not afraid.” Xiang Ling’er nodded gently.

After saying that, she tried her best to smile, revealing her beautiful dimples.

“Silly girl.” Du Heng reached out and patted her head.

“Continue what you were doing. I’m going to meet Landlord Wang.” Du Heng narrowed his eyes.

“Alright.” Xiang Ling’er watched him walk out and tiptoed worriedly. Seeing that he was as relaxed as ever, she was slightly relieved.
