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

“She may be headstrong, but her heart and character are upright, and that’s enough. A wife should be virtuous, Grandfather, you should understand this principle better than me.” Tong Sanlang looked at Tong Tiehu with firmness in his voice.

Headstrong?

No, she only ever showed such a temperament when the Sun Family tried to provoke her. In her everyday actions and speech, there was no trace of recklessness.

On the contrary, she displayed a lively character in her private life.

The fact that she could still chase after butterflies while carrying a bundle of firewood showed she retained a positive and upbeat spirit.

And observing her interactions with Qiao Changshun and Qiao Dami on regular days, she was gentle and virtuous.

Strong when needed, interesting and lively in private, self-confident and calm in public, such a character is actually quite good.

Why does everyone disdain her?

The current situation clearly indicates that she is the one who disdains him.

“Grandfather, as far as the current situation is concerned, it’s her who’s not interested in me. But 1 am interested in her and plan to interact with her more.” Before Tong Tiehu could speak, he interjected.

Tong Tiehu frowned and glanced at him sternly, “You don’t need to remind me. But how do you know that her heart and character are upright? It’s only been a few days, you sure you understand her?”

Tong Sanlang raised an eyebrow, “Grandfather, from her current interactions with her family, and the business she does in town, 1 believe she embodies righteousness and integrity.”

Jiwei Residence was his family’s establishment. He often visited to check the accounts under the pretense of delivering game. The encounter with Qiao Xiaomai at the entrance of Jiwei Residence was purely accidental, but since she was selling fresh food, he naturally suggested her to go to Jiwei Residence.

He had initially thought that Qiao Xiaomai would be offering something ordinary, after all, Jiwei Residence and Zuixian Building represented the pinnacle of current culinary arts.

Yet, what she presented were cold jelly noodles, a delicacy he had never seen before.

Although he was present during the transaction, he did not get a chance to taste these two dishes. But the negotiation between Qiao Xiaomai and Shopkeeper He had left a profound impression on him, thus sparking his curiosity.

He was also aware of the subsequent transactions between Qiao Xiaomai and Shopkeeper He. The 150 acres of farmland and three terraces far away from Anping Village were arranged by him secretly. After so many encounters, he believed he had a good understanding of Qiao Xiaomai’s personality.

As long as he didn’t provoke her, everything would be fine.

What’s wrong with being a bit headstrong? She’s not like the Sun Family that causes unnecessary trouble.

Being headstrong was a good thing. Unlike before when she was soft as a noodle that anyone could step on, he admired this strong character more now.

“What if she’s pretending?” Tong Tiehu questioned.

“Then I’ll keep observing.”

Right now, Qiao Xiaomai did not think highly of him. But he intended to get closer to her, to determine whether his interest was genuine or just a fleeting inclination.

He knew he could not be negligent about a lifetime commitment.

Tong Tiehu expected this answer, so he snorted coldly, “How do you plan to observe and interact with her?”

“Through food.”

“Don’t let it affect your studies, remember you have your autumn provincial examination today.” Tong Tiehu reminded him coldly.

“It won’t.” Tong Sanlang answered confidently.

With Sun Junyan’s level, he could outmatch him a thousandfold.

“Are you planning to decide on your own marital affairs?” Tong Tiehu asked again.

“If Grandfather can find someone better than her for me, I will still follow my heart and marry the one I love.”

Tong Tiehu
