Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Chapter 157: Kowtow? A real man can bend and stretch

He and Yao Qingnian were from the same village. She had chased after him before. How could he not know whether she had been educated or not, and whether she had talent or not? He didn't know how this woman suddenly became so powerful, but he still didn't believe that Yao Qingnian could write poetry or paint. In order to avenge the last time, he took the initiative to stand up.

"Okay, but you have to hit it hard later." Yao Qingnian didn't expect that there would be someone who would give himself a head.

"If you lose, you have to kowtow to me three times and apologize to everyone in public, saying that you are an illiterate village woman and a liar." Meng Jingyu didn't expect that she would actually agree, and she looked so confident. Could it be that she was stimulated after breaking up with him? Impossible, it's been so many years, even if she got married, she was still willing to make a big fuss with her family for him. Could this person change so easily?

Things have developed to this point and it is no longer just a matter of embarrassment. Everyone present couldn't help but worry for Yao Qingnian.

"Okay, what's the problem?" Yao Qingnian said lightly.

Su Yanyan smiled and said, "You promised it yourself, so don't go back on your word."

"As long as you don't go back on your word."

"We are from the same village. How could I not know that you have never been to school? I don't know where you learned these tricks. Today I will expose you in front of everyone." Meng Jingyu said mercilessly in front of everyone.

The crowd was talking at the same time, and Meng Jingyu's words made them not know who to believe.

Su Yanyan's expression eased a lot, and she regained her confidence and said to Yao Qingnian: "Don't talk so much nonsense, let's get started!

Everyone who was attending the banquet at Jiang's house heard the news, ran over and gathered around to watch the show.

There were even some young men who came to watch the fun and placed bets on whether Yao Qingnian would win or lose. Most people bet on her to lose without hesitation.

The story of the scholar Meng Jingyu and Yao Qingnian spread, and everyone knew that they were having an affair. They were from the same village and knew each other well, so his words were more credible.

Only Jiang Ruoyin bet that she would win. Yao Qingnian liked this kind of bet the most. She leaned over to Jiang Ruoyin's ear and said something, then went on stage.

Jiang Ruoyin bet a total of three thousand taels. Seeing that so few people were betting on Yao Qingnian, she looked at Wu Yu with a chuckle and stretched out her hand to him.

Wu Yu was a student at the academy and was somewhat resistant to the idea of betting. Besides, the dean was also present and it would have a bad impact if he was caught. He believed that Yao Qingnian would win and did not need to place a bet to prove it.

Finally, after Jiang Ruoyin's constant persuasion, he took out one thousand two taels of silver and placed it on Yao Qingnian's side.

"That's right, believe me, Qing Nian will definitely win. If you lose, I'll just pay you one thousand taels. Look at the odds. If you win, we can even make a small amount of pocket money."

Jiang Ruoyin was really talking without any worries. Three thousand taels, pocket money? As expected of the daughter of the richest man, she was so generous.

Su Yanyan, Meng Jingyu and others on the side bet all their money on Yao Qingnian to lose without hesitation. They didn't believe that Yao Qingnian would win at all. In the end, only a few people bet on Yao Qingnian to win, and the majority of people lost.

Yao Qingnian walked to the stage where writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone were prepared and stood. After discussion, the judges finally decided to let Yao Qingnian write a poem on the theme of "Flowing Water" and increased the difficulty for her, limiting her to finish it within two quarters of an hour.

Yao Qingnian moved her wrist slightly, and her pen moved as fast as the wind. Every word jumped out on the paper like pearls, which was amazing. In less than a quarter of an hour, she stopped writing: "It's done!"

"So quickly, could it be that she doesn't know how to do it and is just making excuses?"

After Yao Qingnian stopped writing, Hu Shanchang personally came over, took the poem in his hand, and then read it aloud: "The water flows endlessly, singing all the way to the distant sky. The mountains and rivers are moistened and the fields are fertile, and the heart is filled with the vast ocean and the feelings are endless."

"This... How is it possible! In such a short time, she actually composed such a heroic poem." Everyone reacted with a look of shock on their faces.

Director Hu immediately said: "Do you still have any objections? Are you still saying that Miss Yao plagiarized?" There was complete silence in the audience.

When Su Yanyan heard Chief Hu recite the poem, her face turned pale, the arrogance between her brows disappeared, and the smile on her face could no longer be maintained.

"I declare that Miss Yao wins in both calligraphy and painting."

Meng Jingyu's face turned pale. How could this woman...

Just at this moment, Jiang Ruoyin shouted loudly: "We won, we won, Qingnian, we won!"

Her shout immediately attracted the envy, jealousy and hatred of a lot of people. Some were happy while others were worried. All the money they had deposited went to her.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but feel dissatisfied with Meng Jingyu and Su Yanyan. Didn't they say Yao Qingnian was a village woman? They believed one-sided words and lost so much money for no reason.

The next few games were affected by Yao Qingnian's episode. Everyone was absent-minded and the games ended hastily.

"Isn't it time to fulfill the bet? Miss Su, yes, and Mr. Meng." Yao Qingnian walked up to the two of them and said loudly. Everyone then remembered that there was such a group and gathered around to watch the show.

"You! Don't be too pushy. My uncle is the county magistrate!" Su Yanyan started to trick her uncle.

"Oh, it's written in black and white, are you trying to cheat?"

Meng Jingyu tried his best to reduce his presence, but Yao Qingnian had no intention of letting him go: "And Mr. Meng wants to cheat too? So many of my classmates and teachers in the academy have witnessed it."

Meng Jingyu saw that everyone was watching and knew that he couldn't escape these three kowtows, so he gritted his teeth, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times. His action actually attracted everyone's praise: "Meng Xiucai is a real man, a real man can bend and stretch. It's not shameful to kowtow to a genius like Miss Yao, good!"

Meng Jingyu thought he would be laughed at, but he escaped unscathed. He took advantage of the situation and immediately said, "I didn't expect that a man would be looked at with new eyes after three days of absence. I admire you! I kowtowed willingly today, and I have nothing to say."

"Look, Mr. Meng is so straightforward. Miss Su, is it your turn now?"

Su Yanyan was in public, so she couldn't play dirty anymore and stepped forward: "Tell me, what do you want?"

She was sure that Yao Qingnian would not dare to do anything to her in public. Her uncle was the county magistrate. She had to give her uncle some consideration regardless of her own face.

"Come here." Yao Qingnian hooked his finger.

Su Yanyan looked puzzled, but she still walked over. Yao Qingnian took out a pen and scribbled on her face: "A small punishment, a big warning, Miss Su, this must be kept for three days and cannot be erased!"
