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

Whether his family really cheated shouldn’t be determined by what people say.

It should be determined by whether they will continue to purchase bean sprouts from his family in the future.

So, this issue isn’t over yet.

Zhang Family was not necessary to hold onto this issue with Sun Family.

Even if they win in front of the county magistrate, it won’t serve any purpose.

It all depends on the villagers’ future actions.

“Go back!” Tong Tiehu scolded with a cold face, “All this mess was caused by you all! Now, we will have to bear the brunt of being dishonest, a bunch of fools!”

Of course, he was also referring to himself in these accusations.

Blaming himself for not managing his household strictly.

Zhang Family snorted in response, grumbling, “You’re just a bunch of country bumpkins who have never seen the world, who doesn’t bend the rules when doing business?”

“But the people you’re dealing with aren’t strangers, they are fellow villagers whom you’ve known for decades!” Tong Tiehu chastised.

“Well, then they just won’t come to buy anymore. I’ll just sell all in the town.” She voiced her intention to continue her bean sprouts business, regardless.

“Go, go!” Tong Tiehu annoyingly waved her off.

“And, that’s it for the issue with Sun Family?”

“Enough!” He retorted.

Making a fuss for Sun Family’s foul play all the way to the County Town was unnecessary.

While Tong Tiehu felt it was unnecessary, Qiao Changshun thought otherwise. He loudly clarified to the dozen villagers, “The idea of bean sprouts was originally invented by the Tong Family, it has nothing to do with my family.”

“We have fields and silver in our family, and we would never collaborate with Tong Family for the mere amount of a few coppers.”

“Not to mention, Xiaomai has cooked for the retired emperor, and if the latter were to find out about our deceitful behavior, we would definitely get into trouble. Even if we had the guts, we wouldn’t dare to cheat our fellow villagers!”

The villagers nodded in understanding, expressing disbelief to Sun Family’s nonsense.

This comforted Qiao Changshun a bit but seeing Sun Family chasing after him, he couldn’t help but feel worried, wondering what he should do!

The bullock-cart ran fast all the way. When the villagers had reached their fields, he commanded Qiao Zhaodi to follow quickly in the donkey cart back home.

Sun Family chased after them in their carriage, repeatedly urging him to stop.

Upon reaching home out of breath, Qiao Changshun, feeling uncomfortable from the jolting journey, steered the donkey cart back home and locked the courtyard gate before Sun Family could get there.

Qiao Xiaomai laid on the bed, weak and tired. Hearing about what happened, she was stunned.

Sun Junyan actually dug up this detail, his mind was truly…

And Sun Family even dared to bring people to their door, she gritted her teeth in anger.

Even if she felt unwell due to her menstruation, it wouldn’t be a problem to chase Sun Family away.

Seeing that she wanted to fight, Qiao Changshun hurriedly advised her, “No, no, no! Just keep her locked out. We should mind our own business at home.”

He was not confrontational and chose to avoid the situation.

“That’s right, Sister Xiaomai, let’s just keep the gate locked and ignore her.” Qiao Zhaodi and Qiao Yindi also advised.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai looked towards the courtyard gate.

Outside the gate, Sun Family dare not step down from the horse carriage. She remembered the way Qiao Xiaomai had scared her the last time.

Standing on the carriage, she raised herself onto her tiptoes to peek into the courtyard, and keep calling out for Qiao Changshun.

When she saw that Qiao Xiaomai made no move to come out and fight, she felt bold enough to step down and banged at the door.

She only called for Qiao Changshun, not daring to mention Qiao Xiaomai even once.

Getting no response from Qiao Changshun, she started to talk about the virtues of Yingniang, the woman on the carriage.

This was the task assigned to her by Sun Junyan, and she intended to do it diligently.
