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

“Shall I recite a poem or play a word game for you?” asked Tong Sanlang.

He was both literate and skilled in martial arts, but his abilities were insignificant to Qiao Xiaomai, who had seen many splendid performances in her previous life.

The lovely girl was worldly and hard to appease.

“Who needs you to recite poems and play word games?” Qiao Xiaomai rolled her eyes, pointing to the small fish and snails in the basin in front of her, “Come, clean these up for me!”

“Sure.” Tong Sanlang moved swiftly to sit on the small bench, scraping the scales and cleaning the insides of a small fish, his handsome face breaking into a slight smile, “I enjoy assisting you.”

“Stop with your sweet talk.”

So annoying!

The better he behaved at this moment, the more she couldn’t help but think of Yang Ye’s test the day before. She couldn’t bear the idea of anything happening to him!

“Seeing you makes me feel like I’m dipped in honey, I feel sweet all over.” Tong Sanlang put the cleaned fish into another basin. He didn’t look at Qiao Xiaomai as he spoke casually.

But this casual, natural attitude is the one that penetrates Qiao Xiaomai’s heart.

“You’ve also been getting your share of sweetness, is it not?” Tong Sanlang raised his head and asked with a smile, his eyes sparkling.

“What are you talking about? Do you think you’re a sweetheart?” Qiao Xiaomai raised her eyebrow, her tone fierce.

“You’re the sweetheart, you’re the one infecting me with your sweetness.” Tong Sanlang lowered his head again, continuing his work.

Qiao Xiaomai “…”

An unexpected compliment, sweet just to the point of being sickening.

It was so disgusting!

She felt goosebumps!

“Young man, don’t use such greasy expressions to praise people in the future, can you?”

“I’m not flattering you, I’m just telling the truth. You’re the source of this sweetness. Seeing you, both my mind and body involuntarily become sweet as well.” Tong Sanlang continues without lifting his head.

Qiao Xiaomai “…”

She raises her arm and rubs her face against it.

The coarse feel of the linen makes her cheek slightly sting. She takes a deep breath, “Alright, go to work, don’t bother me here.”

“I will clean these, aren’t we inviting Ma Dongshu for lunch?” asked Tong Sanlang.

“Yes.”

“Don’t let him confuse you, do not reveal any clues.”

“I don’t need you to tell me that, hurry up.” Qiao Xiaomai urges him on.

Tong Sanlang purses his lips, stands up and says, “I’ll go and check out the situation first.”

“Go ahead!” Qiao Xiaomai tells him without lifting her head.

Then Tong Sanlang leaves.

Qiao Xiaomai, holding the small fish, pauses. The look on her face seems lost.

Much later, she sighs and she continues her work.

The lover she chose for herself, she has to stick with him, even if it brings hardship.

The time passes quickly, as noontime approaches, Ma Dongshu as promised arrives. He brought along a small crock of wine and a piece of silk cloth.

Qiao Xiaomai couldn’t help but laugh, “Lord Ma, you’re too kind. The Truth Elixir is a hundred taels silver a piece. I still owe you a hundred taels.”

“All, I just made that up.” Ma Dongshu chuckles, and stuffs the cloth into Qiao Xiaomai’s arms, then sits down next to the small table under the tree without any awkwardness.

Qiao Changshun with a cheerful laugh also walks over and sits down across from him, “I have to thank you, Brother Ma, for what happened that day.”

“No need to thank, I was just bluffing him. There’s no such thing as Truth Elixir, if there was, no one in the world would dare to lie.” Ma Dongshu laughs again.

“Bluffing?” Qiao Xiaomai raised her eyebrow.
