Farming Space Makes Me Rich

Chapter 123: Gong Tianhao is Hungry

Translator: Lonelytree

In the end, Li Yuanhang and Gong Tianhao decided to ask Xiao Lingyu’s family for food.

When Xiao Xiaohui heard the two men were his eldest cousin’s friends, he told the two men, “Uncle, wait a minute. I’ll go get my eldest aunt!”

Li Yuanhang nodded. They were starving. And this was really destiny. Yesterday, they just heard Jiang Tao mention Xiao Lingyu, and today, they had found their way to her house.

Based on their observation, Xiao Lingyu’s family had a higher standard of living compared to the other villagers. It was probably because Xiao Lingyu had worked in the big city for a few years. A famous university student could get a job in a big company. Even a normal clerk’s salary was higher than a rural farmer’s.

Li Yuanhang noticed the villagers were looking at him as if he was a monkey, so after Xiao Xiaohui left, he crawled into the car. Li Yuanhang smiled and told Gong Tianhao, “Tianhao, do you know whose house this is?”

Gong Tianhao said nothing. His face was cold. He had already heard the conversation between Li Yuanhang and Xiao Xiaohui.

“This is Xiao Lingyu’s house, the girl Young Master Jiang is pursuing.” Li Yuanhang muttered to himself, “Hehe, what a coincidence.

“I heard that Xiao Lingyu used to be the top scholar of the county and worked in a big city.” Li Yuanhang said, “I wonder how she looks like. How beautiful must she be to move Young Master Jiang? I wonder if she’s home and if we can meet her.” Jiang Tao didn’t tell them Xiao Lingyu was still in the county town.

Gong Tianhao didn’t respond.

Li Yuanhang looked around at the scenery outside. “This village is really nice. The air is fresh, and the people are nice. It’s indeed a good place for the old master to recuperate. The only imperfection is the traffic.”

Gong Tianhao said, “That will be fixed!”

Li Yuanhang was shocked and said, “Tianhao, what do you mean?”

Gong Tianhao was silent. However, it still explained a lot.

Li Yuanhang tapped the steering wheel with his fingers. He said, “Tianhao, this place is not bad. It can be developed into a tourism spot. What do you think?” They were businessmen, so they had sharp business acumen.

“No.” Gong Tianhao said, “It is perfect like this!” This place was like a hidden Shangri-la. It shouldn’t be tainted by the outside world.

Li Yuanhang thought for a moment and said, “Indeed. If this place is developed into a tourism hotspot, it probably won’t be a paradise anymore.”

While the two of them were talking, Xiao Xiaohui had found his second aunt. Xiao Xiaohui ran to a field not far away and shouted from afar, “Second aunt, there’s a guest at your house!”

Mother Xiao, who was pulling grass in the field, stood up and asked, “Xiaohui, who is it?”

Xiao Xiaohui said, “They are two men from the big cities. They came in a nice car. They said they are eldest cousin’s friends!”

Mother Xiao immediately washed her hands and feet. As she did so, she asked, “Is your eldest cousin back from the county town?”

“No!” Xiao Xiaohui shook his head.

Mother Xiao frowned. “They’re your eldest cousin’s friend, but they come when Yu ‘Er is not around? Why don’t they contact her if they’re coming?”

“Second aunt, I don’t know.” Xiao Xiaohui answered.

“Okay, I’ll go back and ask!” Mother Xiao said.

Inside the car, Li Yuanhang and Gong Tianhao were so hungry that their stomachs were growling. They had never been so hungry before.

Li Yuanhang looked down the distance. He couldn’t find the boy from earlier. He asked, “Tianhao, should we find another place?”

Gong Tianhao did not answer.

Li Yuanhang rubbed his stomach and could only continue to wait.

Fortunately, he did not need to wait for long. The child returned, followed by a woman in her forties. Li Yuanhang narrowed his eyes. He felt that this woman looked somewhat familiar. But, he knew this was definitely the first time they had met.

While Li Yuanhang pondered, Xiao Xiaohui and Mother Xiao arrived before the car. Li Yuanhang got out.

Xiao Xiaohui said, “Uncle, this is my second aunt, my eldest cousin’s mom!”

“Hello, Auntie!” Li Yuanhang said very politely, “I am Xiao Lingyu’s friend, Li Yuanhang.”

Mother Xiao looked at Li Yuanhang suspiciously and asked sharply, “Are you really Xiao Lingyu’s friends?”

“Of course!” Li Yuanhang met Mother Xiao’s suspicious gaze. He thought to himself, ‘It’s not easy getting this meal. I have to face an interrogation!’

“Since you’re Yu ‘Er friends, why don’t you contact her since you’re coming?” Mother Xiao asked.

The man’s clothing and the car proved that they were very rich. This reminded Mother Xiao of something Xiao Lingyu said.

In order to take revenge on Chen Ran, the girl had casually taken a man off the street to pretend to be her boyfriend. The man was actually the most powerful man in City Z, and he had taken an interest in Yu ‘Er. Yu ‘Er only decided to come back home to avoid that man.

Mother Xiao looked at the expensive car and the well-dressed man, and they were similar to Xiao Lingyu’s description of the man who helped her.

It was why Mother Xiao was so vigilant.

Li Yuanhang had no idea why Mother Xiao was so cautious. But since he had lied once, he needed to lie again. He coughed and said, “Auntie, we lost Xiao Lingyu’s number.”

“Really?” Mother Xiao only became more suspicious. “In that case, how did you find her house?”

“Erm…” Li Yuanhang had no idea how to answer that. This was the first time he encountered such a clever woman.

He felt a little pity for Jiang Tao. ‘Young Master Jiang, do you know that your future mother-in-law is so intuitive?’

As Mother Xiao was about to pepper him with more questions, the car door opened, and a tall and handsome man walked out. His facial features were sharp, and he had a domineering aura.

The moment he appeared, he attracted the attention of the people around him.

“Wow, this man is so tall!” This was mostly the voice of the children.

“This man is really handsome!” This was the voice of the women.

“This man has an unapproachable aura!” This was the voice of the men.

Ignoring the others, Gong Tianhao walked towards Mother Xiao. “Auntie, we came to Taoyuan Village for business. We heard about Xiao Lingyu from a friend. We didn’t mean to disguise to be her friend, but we were too hungry. We have been traveling for a long time, and we haven’t had a bite. We mean no harm. We just want something to eat. Don’t worry, Auntie, we will pay.”

Even when he was apologizing, the dignified young master could make it sound so matter-of-factly.

Mother Xiao relaxed after she heard his explanation. Furthermore, when she heard this tall and handsome man confess that the subterfuge was because he was hungry, Mother Xiao found him honest and charming.

“Uncles, so you’re hungry!” Xiao Xiaohui cut in. “You’ve found the right person then! My second aunt is the best cook in the village.”

Mother Xiao smiled and said, “Okay, come in then. I’ll cook for you. You don’t need to pay me. It’s just a meal.”

Mother Xiao took the keys and opened the courtyard door. She glanced at the car and said, “You can drive the car in!” Mother Xiao was worried about the children accidentally breaking the expensive car.

“Okay!” Li Yuanhang was still reeling from the shock from Gong Tianhao’s confession. He never thought Young Master Gong would admit to a rural woman that he was hungry. This was even more shocking than bloody rain.

Li Yuanhang realized Young Master Gong had changed a lot since they arrived at Xing Yin County. Li Yuanhang drove into the yard. Gong Tianhao walked behind the car. Gong Tianhao expected a messy yard like most country houses so he was surprised.

The walls were covered with flowers. The flowers also bloomed around the courtyard. There was a stone table and a few stone chairs. The surroundings were especially clean and orderly.

Mother Xiao smiled, “We rural people are relatively simple and crude. Sorry about everything. Please sit down! I’ll get something for you to fill your stomach. Then, I’ll go cook.”

“Thank you, Auntie!” Li Yuanhang said very sincerely.

Gong Tianhao also nodded and said, “Thank you!”

Mother Xiao waved her hand and said, “You’re welcome!”

Xiao Xiaohui and his friends walked in and asked Li Yuanhang, “Uncle, can we touch your car?” It was their first time seeing such a beautiful car, so they were really curious.

Li Yuanhang looked at these four cute and sincere eyes. He really couldn’t refuse them.

“Sure!” Gong Tianhao answered for him.

“Yay, thank you.” Xiao Xiaohui jumped up in joy.

From inside the house, Mother Xiao shouted, “Xiaohui, the car is very expensive. Be careful when you touch it or you might break it. You won’t be able to pay if it broke, okay?”

Xiao Xiaohui asked doubtfully, “Second aunt, the car will break from a touch?”

“Of course!” Mother Xiao tried to scare the kids because she was worried that they might dirty the car.

However…

“Touching the car won’t break it!” Gong Tianhao clarified.

Li Yuanhang, “…” Where is Young Master Gong, and who are you?

Mother Xiao, “…” This young man is surprisingly nice and honest.

Xiao Xiaohui and his friends, “…” Then, they cheered happily.. “Yay, let’s go touch the car then!”
