C1790 It Is too Depressing to be a Fool
"Alright, I know you're pitiful. Uncle and Auntie are probably coming back soon, so I have to hurry up and prepare some food. Otherwise, Auntie and Uncle will definitely not take you in when they see you like this."
Xiao Qing released Zhang Xiaofann and touched some dirt on Zhang Xiaofann's face. Zhang Xiaofann rolled on the ground a bit, and now he looked even more like an idiot.
After about an hour, a pair of fifty year old farmers came in from outside, with hoes on their shoulders. They seemed to have come back from digging, Xiao Qing poured some water for the farmers and told them some things.
"Uncle, Auntie, a fool from outside the city came to our house today. I felt that he was quite pitiful, so I took him in."
"He also seems to be a farmer. It seems like he can do a lot of work. Just let him hoe our house!"
After Xiao Qing finished speaking, the two people were startled. The man called out the two of them to have a look.
"You big idiot, come out for a bit."
Zhang Xiaofann came out of the kitchen in a daze, giggling whenever he saw his. His acting was too similar, the couple was tricked in an instant.
It was the busy season, so it was good to have a fool to help them. However, their family only had three rooms, so it would be a problem if the fool didn't have a place to stay.
"You call yourself a fool, what kind of work do you know how to do?"
After the man asked, Zhang Xiaofann did not say a word and ran to the side to throw his hoe on the ground.
"You mean you know how to hoe?"
Zhang Xiaofann kept nodding his head.
"Hehe, then we don't have a place to stay. If you want to stay, then help us hoe the land. We'll take care of your food, but you'll be staying in the thatched cottage tonight. What do you think?"
That man was selfish. He let Zhang Xiaofann live with the big idiot, afraid that he would dirty his own bed, and let Zhang Xiaofann live in a thatched room.
Xiao Qing was a little unwilling. The current weather, especially at night, was still a little cold, allowing a fool to live in a thatched hut.
What if she became sick from the cold? She wanted to give the couple some advice, but she didn't dare to say it out loud. She wasn't the daughter of the family.
If he pissed her off and chased her away, then both she and Zhang Xiaofann would become homeless. It would be weird if a girl with a fool was outside not to be bullied.
Zhang Xiaofann did not think too much about it. As long as he could stay, it did not matter where he lived.
It didn't matter if he didn't sleep at night, especially since he had a thatched room to sleep in. It was already not bad.
He caused Xiao Qing to lose her memories and this was already considered a punishment. If she could not even accept this small punishment, then what would it be?
Zhang Xiaofann didn't say if he was willing or not, and just ran into the straw house to curl up. The couple laughed, and felt that they were pretty lucky.
Zhang Xiaofann successfully made it to the farmer's house. Although he lived in a thatched cottage, for him, it was very fortunate.
There was nothing more blissful than chasing after Xiao Qing; she had truly let down Xiao Qing's hand these past few years.
After all, Xiao Qing was one of the women that he wanted to marry the most in his life.
Xiao Qing did not sleep that night, and when she thought about the man who lived in the thatched room outside, she felt so stifled in her heart.
Early the next morning, when the whole family had woken up, Zhang Xiaofann was still pretending to sleep in the straw house, because only then would he be able to act like a pig and eat the tiger.
If not, he would not even have the chance to approach Xiao Qing. After all, Xiao Qing did not know him at the moment, so he could not bring Xiao Qing away.
Time quickly passed, and after a few days, Zhang Xiaofann was finally able to hide himself within the farmer's house.
Ma Xiaorui and Wang Siya were searching all over the capital for Zhang Xiaofann, but they could not find him at all.
He felt that Zhang Xiaofann was too unreliable, there were still a lot of things in the company, and in the blink of an eye, it was as if he had disappeared from the world. He did not even answer the phone nor replied with a text message, it was unknown what he was doing.
"President Ma, the employees of Mortal Tale Network, Mortal Film Company and Mortal Paper Company have all moved into our building. Now, they are collectively known as Xiaofann Cultural Company."
When an assistant came in front of Ma Xiaorui to report, Ma Xiaorui only replied one time and then ignored the assistant again.
In reality, she wasn't in the mood to manage the company's matters. She couldn't even manage her own matters.
She did not lack money and had joined Xiaofann's culture so that she could walk around the office with Zhang Xiaofann. Now, she could not see Zhang Xiaofann at all.
How was he supposed to take a walk? He locked himself in the small space and waited for Zhang Xiaofann with his will.
Wang Siya's situation was not too good either. Every day, she would prepare her reply before graduation.
He also had to go to the Pigu University to take a look at the progress of the project.
At this time, they had to rely on their dorm friends. They were very loyal and comforted Wang Siya one by one.
Zhang Xiaofann could guess all of these, but he didn't have the energy to care about it. In order to wake Xiao Qing up, he had to focus on accompanying him, in order to have the chance to wake Xiao Qing up.
Xiao Qing poured a can of serous soup for Zhang Xiaofann. When the farmer's wife saw this, he muttered a few words to the farmer.
The farmer walked over and kicked Zhang Xiaofann's bowl, sending Zhang Xiaofann's bowl flying with blood all over the floor.
"What are you drinking? All you know how to do is drink. Hurry up and get out of my house tomorrow."
This farmer had observed during the past few days that Xiao Qing took special care of Zhang Xiaofann, causing them to be unhappy in their hearts.
After all, Xiao Qing was the daughter-in-law that they had found. If Xiao Qing had deceived them, they would regret dying.
These few days, Xiao Qing had already seen the parents clearly. She was treated alright, but she treated Zhang Xiaofann like an animal.
She had even let Zhang Xiaofann do the heaviest work, but he still couldn't eat properly. She really couldn't watch any longer.
"Uncle, aren't you going too far? He does the most tiring work every day, and you still don't let him eat his fill. Now you don't even give him a mouthful of the soup, are you still treating him as a human?"
Xiao Qing's words truly angered the farmer. The farmer turned around and kicked Zhang Xiaofann, beating him up.
"Is he even human? If I hit him like this, he won't even know how to fight back. He's just a fool. Tomorrow, I'll tell him to scram."
"Also, tonight you will have a wedding night with my son. In the future, obediently give birth to a child for my family, otherwise, I will beat you up too."
That uncle threatened Xiao Qing and made her bite her lips. She knew how to fight and if it wasn't for him saving her life.
She was about to teach uncle a lesson. How could there be such a person in this world? He looked honest, but he was full of evil tricks.
Zhang Xiaofann saw that his uncle was threatening Xiao Qing and ran over to hug his leg, begging him not to beat Xiao Qing up, he did not drink the soup anymore, he would leave tomorrow to prevent his uncle from getting angry.
In order to regain Xiao Qing's heart, Zhang Xiaofann was really going all out. The dignified owner of the Mortal Group was actually asking for a small farmer, just for a woman, for a true love.
However, all of this was something that he owed Xiao Qing and now, no matter how much humiliation he suffered, it was all for the woman he loved.
Xiao Qing moved him and went over to stop Zhang Xiaofann. That uncle was even more angry now, as he didn't want Zhang Xiaofann to beg for help.
The two of them were protecting each other, so if he said there was nothing between them, he wouldn't believe it.
If it wasn't because Zhang Xiaofann was a fool, he would have suspected that Zhang Xiaofann came to their house to pick up girls.
"God damn, you still dare to show such love in front of me? I think you all are looking to die."
The farmer walked over to pick up the hoe, and returned to knock the hoe on Zhang Xiaofann's forehead.2
Xiao Qing could no longer bear it and pulled Zhang Xiaofann into her embrace. Zhang Xiaofann felt the warmth and the joy of living.
"?"
"Come, let's leave this place."
The farmer saved Xiao Qing's life. Xiao Qing could not lay her hands on the farmer, but she could choose to leave.
She didn't want to stay here and watch how the farmer's family bullied Zhang Xiaofann. She also didn't want to marry the farmer's son and be the daughter-in-law of such a shameful family.
Zhang Xiaofann was extremely happy. As long as Xiao Qing left, he could stomp that farmer to death, but he couldn't.
Because he had to pretend to be stupid, otherwise Xiao Qing would not leave with him.
"You two, stand still. Do you want to leave? Did I let you leave?"
That farmer saw that Xiao Qing was so daring, she took off her leather belt and was about to beat Xiao Qing up, making him afraid of him and not dare to leave.
Xiao Qing thought that she would be able to leave after getting whipped by that farmer a few times, and didn't owe the farmer anything. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaofann had protected her, and every time that whip landed on Zhang Xiaofann's body, a blood-red mark would be left on her.
"I told you to protect that little bitch."
The farmer scolded. Xiao Qing grabbed the whip and pulled it forward, causing the farmer to crawl on the ground. She felt like her bones were about to break.
He couldn't get up at all. He hadn't thought that this seemingly weak and weak girl would actually have the ability to do so.
"You saved my life, but your motive is not pure. You always wanted me to be your daughter-in-law, so I wanted to thank you for saving my life."
"I admit it too, but why did you hit him? He's just a fool, you guys are going to make him a laborer."
"So what if he eats some of your family's food? Your cold-blooded attitude has completely disappointed me."
"He took a few lashes for me just now, so he can be considered as repaying you guys for saving his life. Oh, I won't listen to any of you in the future."
Xiao Qing said as she stood up and pulled Zhang Xiaofann along to leave.
How could that farmer stand it? How could Xiao Qing marry her son once she left her home?
She quickly ran over to Xiao Qing and knelt down, repenting her mistakes to Xiao Qing, begging him to forgive her.
"I'm sorry, it was all my fault before. I shouldn't have hit that idiot. I beg you to forgive us and stay in our family."
"We won't force you to marry my son. We like to eat the food you make, and live a dull life just like before."
"And that fool, we won't chase him away. We'll have him move out of the thatched cottage and stay in the same room as my son."
As the farmer said this, the farmer's woman ran over to plead with Xiao Qing, causing him to hesitate.
