Chapter 21

Punish Her

However, Zhao Caiyun’s goal was to make Ding Yao look bad, so she continued, “Gee, I’m sorry. I almost forgot that you’re a mute. You only know how to “Ah Ah Ah”. It’s better to ask Brother Song Xiuyan directly than to ask your name.”

Song Xiuyan was about to say something, but Ding Yao grabbed him and used her lips to tell him not to bother with Zhao Caiyun.

Ding Yao didn’t want to argue with Zhao Caiyun, but that didn’t mean she wasn’t angry. She quietly took out the itching powder that she had made before and hid it in her sleeve. If Zhao Caiyun didn’t know what was good for her and said something nasty, she didn’t mind teaching her a lesson.

Zhao Caiyun didn’t know what Ding Yao was thinking. She even pretended to be surprised and said, “You don’t have any reaction at all? Don’t tell me you don’t even know how to ‘Ah Ah Ah’? I’m talking to you, but you won’t answer. Are you unable to answer or can’t hear me? Don’t tell me that you’re not only mute, but also deaf...”

Song Xiuyan couldn’t bear it anymore. He coldly looked at Zhao Caiyun and said, “Shut up.” The moment he opened his mouth, Zhao Caiyun’s face turned red and she didn’t dare to continue speaking. In addition, the people on the ox-cart were all looking at her. They seemed to be guessing why she wanted to make things difficult for a mute like Ding Yao. A few of the older women already had a look of understanding in their eyes.

Zhao Caiyun quickly lowered her head. She felt that what she had done was too obvious.

The road in the countryside wasn’t very smooth. The ox-cart would bump from time to time. Ding Yao took the opportunity to approach Zhao Caiyun and put the itching powder in her hand into her neck.

Zhao Caiyun was hit by Ding Yao and screamed, “Are you crazy? You can’t even sit steadily on the ox-cart? You’re so dirty, but you still dare to get close to me?!”

Song Xiuyan was one step slower. He quickly pulled Ding Yao up and asked her nervously, “How is it? Did you hurt yourself?” Actually, he was also a little puzzled. The ox-cart was bumpy, but he had shielded Ding Yao. How did she bump into Zhao Caiyun? Could it be that he had been careless?

Ding Yao shook her head to show that she was fine, but Song Xiuyan saw the evil smile on Ding Yao’s lips. Zhao Caiyun wanted to curse again, but when she raised her head and met Song Xiuyan’s cold gaze, she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. She didn’t want to shed all pretense of cordiality with Song Xiuyan right now. She still wanted to marry Song Xiuyan.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

When Zhao Dashan heard the commotion behind him, he turned to look at Zhao Caiyun and scolded her with a dark expression, “It’s spacious here, so why don’t you sit here? Why do you have to squeeze together with the people behind you?” Everyone in the Zhao family knew what Zhao Caiyun was thinking. Previously, they didn’t know that Song Xiuyan had already been engaged, so they didn’t care. Song Xiuyan’s knowledge and looks were well-known in all the villages within ten miles. Perhaps they would have a bright future in the future. However, during this period of time, the Song family was out of luck. Now that the news of the engagement had spread and he had even brought his wife home, Zhao Caiyun’s parents began to restrict Zhao Caiyun from interacting with Song Xiuyan. Unfortunately, Zhao Caiyun didn’t listen at all.

Zhao Dashan had seen Zhao Caiyun sneak into the Song family yesterday. If she continued like this, her reputation would be tarnished sooner or later, and it wouldn’t be easy for her to get married.

Zhao Caiyun was very afraid of Zhao Dashan. When she heard Zhao Dashan’s words, she obediently sat to the side. Not long after, Zhao Caiyun felt an itch on her neck. She couldn’t help but scratch her neck a few times, but after scratching, it became even more itchy. Her entire body was itchy.

When the woman beside her saw Zhao Caiyun’s actions, she kindly reminded her, “What are you doing? Even if your body is itchy, you have to endure it a little. A lady can’t be constantly scratching her body in front of so many people. Aren’t you afraid that others will gossip about you?” This ox-cart wasn’t only filled with women, there were also quite a number of men.

Zhao Caiyun had a bitter expression on her face. “I don’t want to scratch like this either, but I’m really itchy and uncomfortable...”

Zhao Dashan, who was driving the ox-cart, turned around and berated Zhao Caiyun, “What’s wrong with you now? Weren’t you fine just now? Why are you suddenly ticklish?” He thought that Zhao Caiyun was trying to use this method to attract Song Xiuyan’s attention.

However, Zhao Caiyun reacted to Zhao Dashan’s reminder. That’s right, she was fine just now. Why did she suddenly start to itch? She looked at Ding Yao and scolded loudly, “It’s all because of you, mute girl! It must be because your body is too dirty. Just now, you came close to me and got on my body. That’s why I’m so itchy!”

Ding Yao smiled. It seemed that Zhao Caiyun wasn’t that stupid and realized that it was because of her.

Song Xiuyan’s gaze was like a knife as he looked at Zhao Caiyun. “It’s clearly your own body that’s dirty, yet you still want to blame others? Ding Yao and I have been sitting together the entire time. Why don’t you see me itch?”
