Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Qiao Changshun was cleaning up the dried grass from the chicken coop, which the Sun Family had just torn out, scattering it all over the courtyard. Upon hearing Qiao Xiaomai’s words, he was taken aback, with the image of his first meeting with Zhuang Luhe appearing in his mind.

Instantly, his heart felt as though it was being crushed by a huge rock, making it difficult for him to breathe.

“It’s all in the past.” His voice was low, clearly unwilling to elaborate.

“So Uncle and Aunt have been treating Mom strangely all these years because of this?” Qiao Xiaomai asked further.

“Maybe.” Qiao Changshun’s voice dropped even lower.

Qiao Xiaomai responded with a drawn-out sound of understanding. She had originally thought that Zhao Shufen simply disliked Zhuang Luhe. She didn’t expect this.

However, Zhuang Luhe indeed had the charm to make men risk everything for her. Despite being oppressed by the Sun Family for so many years, and suffering harsh living conditions for so long, time hadn’t left too many traces on her.

Her complexion was still fair, with only a few lines appearing when she smiled. Her facial features were refined. Compared to years ago, she had gained a more mature charm.

And still… there are men who are willing to leave with her now.

Seeing that Qiao Changshun was really unwilling to elaborate, she changed the topic. “Dad, if Grandma comes over to cry and complain to you in the future, you mustn’t give in.”

“I’ll manage the family’s funds. As for food, let’s not buy the corn used for taxes for now. We will buy only as much as we eat for daily consumption.”

The Sun’s Family hoarded everything. Now, if she reduced their money by fifty ten-thousandths each month, they would definitely want to touch the food storage. She was not willing to give even a single grain of rice to this madwoman!

Qiao Changshun responded in a low voice, placed all the dry grass back into the chicken coop, and then stood up to level out the vegetable patch’s soil. The Sun Family had not spared it earlier, uprooting quite a few newly sprouted garlic sprouts and green onions.

Seeing that he really didn’t want to talk any further, Qiao Xiaomai stood up and went to the kitchen.

The kitchen was also a mess, with things thrown all over the place. The oil bowl and the dish containing salt grains had been overturned, leaving oil all over. She gritted her teeth, cursed lowly, and started cleaning.

When she had tidied up the kitchen, Qiao Dami returned, hopping around with a basket in his hand. In the basket, there was a brightly colored wild chicken.

“Brother Tong said he hunted this in the mountains and sent it for our family to eat.”

The soup made from the old hen we bought last time was so delicious, he wanted to eat chicken legs!

Looking at Qiao Dami’s sparkling eyes, Qiao Xiaomai frowned slightly and asked, “What else did Brother Tong tell you?”

“He said the tofu was very delicious. Grandpa Tong said we can come to him if we have any problems in the future. He also said that once our family has earned more money, you can send me to the Academy.” Qiao Dami shook his little head, summarizing the words of Tong Sanlang and Tong Tiehu.

Qiao Xiaomai raised her curved eyebrows. She had sent tofu noodles to thank Tong Tiehu for his help. Tong Sanlang sent over a wild chicken. Could it be that he thought the tofu was too precious and didn’t want to take advantage of her?

Thinking of his calm eyes, she dismissed the thought from her mind.

Since he had given it, she would accept it with peace of mind.

Taking the basket from him, she reached up and rubbed Qiao Dami’s head. “Do you want to go to school?”

“I don’t want to.” Qiao Dami’s response was without hesitation.

“Why?” Qiao Xiaomai playfully pinched his cheek, “If you study, you can become a high-ranking official.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Dami blinked his big eyes, his long eyelashes fluttering, “I don’t want to leave you and Dad, even if it’s to go to school. Let’s wait until Mom comes back to talk about it.. Sister, now that our family has money, can we ask someone to send a letter to Mom telling her to come back?”
