The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Shurui and the other two had originally planned to leave. They had been out here for so long, experiencing the local customs and culture, it was time to go home and then head to other places.

But with Xun Sheng saying that, they couldn’t leave.

So they stayed, working, doing odd jobs, and making money. Xun Sheng knew they were here for life experience, so he didn’t go out of his way to help them.

After treating them to a meal, they only met to discuss academic matters and the upcoming poetry event.

The three of them worked while being thrifty. If they waited until after the poetry event to return, they’d really run out of money. Shurui had brought limited funds, which had to be divided among three people, and now they’ve delayed their return by so many days. How could they manage without working hard to make money?

Shu Yu couldn’t hold it anymore when he heard this, ”So you guys didn’t even get to eat a chicken leg?”

Dabao took a vicious bite of meat, ”Yeah, it’s too tragic.”

Erniu, however, said, ”Although it’s rough, having such an experience did add to our knowledge, and we learned a lot about life. The benefits outweigh the drawbacks.”

Dabao looked at him incredulously, ”What experience did you gain? I just feel tired.”

Shurui asked him, ”So next time you go out, do you know where to hide your money?”

”I know now.”

”And when you encounter someone asking for help, will you just listen to a few words and give money?”

Dabao snorted, ”I’m not Erniu. Even if someone faints crying in front of me, there’s no way they can scam a single cent from me. I’m very stingy.”

Everyone, ”...” Oh, right, we almost forgot that you inherited this from Third Uncle.

Shurui, ”Well, at least next time you find yourself penniless, you know how to survive, right?”

”Pah, pah, pah, don’t jinx it. That won’t happen again.”

Shurui didn’t want to talk to him anymore and sat down angrily, snatching the last chicken leg from his plate and biting into it fiercely.

Dabao was furious, ”I’m already this miserable, and you still steal my food.”

”Who isn’t miserable? You’ve already eaten three chicken legs, shameless.”

”Are you looking for a fight?”

”Come on, let’s see if you can beat me.”

Shu Yu looked speechlessly at the two of them now wrestling together and called the others, ”Ignore them, let’s continue eating.”

Shurui and Dabao had already run into the yard. They said it was a fight, but they were just butting their heads together to see who could push harder.

While they were engrossed in their contest, a pair of long legs suddenly appeared under their noses.

Shurui quickly looked up, and Dabao, losing his support, fell onto him.

Seeing the two about to fall to the ground, the owner of the long legs swiftly grabbed them both.

”What’s this? A display of brotherly love as soon as I get back?”

Shurui looked up, overjoyed, ”Brother Meng.”

Meng Yunzheng steadied them, glanced over them, ”You guys look darker and thinner, you must have had a hard time recently.”

Dabao, seeming to find a kindred spirit, said, ”Isn’t that right? I...”

Seeing him about to complain again, Shu Yu quickly ran out upon hearing the noise and asked in surprise, ”Why are you here? Weren’t you very busy these days?”

”I heard the three of them were back, so I came to check on them.” Meng Yunzheng said as he walked inside.

Behind him, Shurui and Dabao exchanged a glance and started butting heads again.
