peasantlike
Like a villager
Peasantlike describes qualities associated with peasants—rural agricultural laborers of modest means and little formal education.
The term may characterize simple, unpretentious ways of living, dressing, or eating, but it often carries condescending overtones, suggesting coarseness, lack of refinement, or unsophisticated behavior.
Her peasantlike directness charmed some guests and offended others.
