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

Chapter 477: Chapter 477: Not Good at Anything, but Never Leaves Leftovers

After the students had eaten, the coachmen cleaned up the dishes and tables without letting Qiao Xiaomai lift a finger.

Pointing at the vegetable garden of Qiao Xiaomai’s house, Fan Jia asked, “Those are the chilli peppers?”

“Yes,” answered Qiao Xiaomai.

The peppers were already red, ready to be harvested within the next few days.

When the time comes, she would keep the seeds and send the chilli skins to Yang Ye.

“Excellent,” Fan Jia, unable to forget the addictively spicy cucumber in chilli oil, clicked his tongue. “When can I have some?”

“Hmm… three to four years perhaps?” The seeds were too few; by planting year after year and given Yang Ye’s status as a prince, Qiao Xiaomai couldn’t say when Fan Jia could taste the fruits of her labor.

Upon hearing this, Fan Jia’s face filled with regret.

Recalling that taste, the wait seemed endless!

As they chatted and waited for the coachmen to restore the entrance of Qiao Xiaomai’s house, the students finally embarked on their return journey.

It was mid-afternoon, and Qiao Xiaomai closed the door to her house. Alongside Qiao Changshun and Dami, they returned to their manor in their ox-drawn cart.

Recently, she had devised a new plan that she needs to discuss with Miao Dali.

Tong Tiehu returned home.

When he arrived, Tong Sanlang was reading in his room, while the others were lazing in their own rooms. After being worked to the bone from yesterday’s labor, they all seemed wilted.

Seeing this, Tong Tiehu’s anger flared, and he began to berate them in the courtyard. “You useless lot! Just a bit of work and you’re already worn out? Which other family in the village is like yours?”

“Useless in everything and wasteful in eating. A bunch of fools who only know to eat and dress!”

“Look at Xiaomai, casually making a meal and just like that, one hundred taels silver in her hand! On top of that, it’s those prestigious academy students who politely requested her cooking! As for you lot? Even those students would look down on you for shining their shoes!”

At these words, Zhu Hongyun, who had been lying lifelessly on her bed, suddenly perked up.

Cook one meal and get a hundred taels of silver?

She rolled over, straining her ears to catch every word from outside.

“Those prestigious students openly stated their invitation for Xiaomai to cook them lamb soup in winter! And do you know how courteously they said it? Would they bother to even spare you a glance if any of you appeared before them?”

“Which one of you isn’t older than Xiaomai? Huh? All you ever do is gorge yourselves and age over time!”

“Even the dean of the academy mentioned moving Xiaomai to the town so Dami could attend the academy with waived tuition. What an honor that would be! The dean called Qiao Changshun, ‘brother Changshun’ directly!”

“Look at how much face Xiaomai earns for her father! As for you lot? Your disgusting laziness would just make people laugh their heads off!”

“I don’t expect you to earn me any face. But at the very least, do not disgrace yourselves!”

“Look at you, utterly useless. Disgraceful! The reputation that I, Tong Tiehu, earned has all been destroyed by you lot!”

“If even one of you had half the capability of Xiaomai, you wouldn’t be stuck digging the earth for a living!”

Zhu Hongyun no longer cared what was being said afterward, as she had accurately extracted the main points from his rant: Qiao Xiaomai, on the strength of her cooking skills, was immensely admired by those elites.

Qiao Xiaomai was thinking about purchasing a property in town for Dami to attend school.

Qiao Xiaomai could easily earn a hundred taels of silver with just one meal!

Highly regarded, moneyed, and planning to buy a house in town.

Damn it, damn it, she was so jealous!!!
