Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

63 Cultivated Talent’s Wife
“Do you want to have a bite too?”

“No thanks, I have food at home!”

“Brother Shao, you are so nice! I wonder if we can get married, as we wish to.”

“Don’t worry, I already told my mom that I will only marry you. I will tell Mom again tomorrow. She is a very soft-hearted person, and I am her son. I am sure that she will give her consent to our marriage.”

“Really? You should not lie to me!”

“I will definitely not!”

“Ah, the steamed buns are so tasty!”

“…”

Qiao Xuan tilted her head and looked at Shao Yunduan.

Shao Yunduan had no expression on his face, but he was not in a good mood.

Qiao Xuan used her superpower and figured out who the boy and the girl were. The boy was Shao Sanlang, Shao Yunduan’s brother whilst the other was a 16 years old girl. She was dressed in a blouse with many stitched patches and her hair had turned yellow. But her skin was fair and her lips were very thin. She had a very tall nose bridge, and looked quite pretty.

But for the malnutrition, she would have looked even better.

Yang Xiaoni, which was the name that emerged inside Qiao Xuan’s head.

Her brother-in-law was talking about marrying a girl like that, but her mother-in-law did not say anything about it.

She had no idea why there was no approval, and she had an interest in gossip. She believed that her mother-in-law must have had some reason to turn down the marriage.

Qiao Xuan was quite surprised to hear how Yang Xiaoni talked and what she looked like. She seemed like a very nice girl.

Shao Yunduan was, however, thinking inside his heart that his brother was acting so unreliably.

What was he doing here? He was speaking so loudly close to the road! It was lucky that it had been him and Qiao Xuan who heard their conversation. What if they were heard by someone else?

Moreover, he should not have had a date with someone privately. It was so immoral!

Shao Yunduan made some coughing sound.

The voices in the bushes stopped suddenly.

“Brother, it is getting late, time to go home.” Shao Yunduan said.

Then a shushing sound came, and Shao Sanlang walked out. Behind him was Yang Xiaoni, who looked bashful and was twisting the hem of her blouse.

“Oh, brother, and sister-in-law…”

Shao Sanlang scratched his head, looking timid.

“Cultivated Talent Shao, and Cultivated Talent’s Wife, I… need to leave.”

Yang Xiaoni forced a smile and greeted Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan, as she dashed off.

Qiao Xuan almost held her laughter – Cultivated Talent’s wife? What kind of title was that?

“You went to buy pots, for flowers? Oh… there are so many of them, let me carry some for you!” Shao Sanlang said with a flattering laugh, and grabbed the pots from Shao Yunduan’s arms.

He blinked at his brother and begged. “Brother, please don’t mention this to Mom, okay? Keep this a secret for me, and I will give you all, no, half of what I earn, for real?”

He needed to use the other half to buy food for Xiaoni.

Shao Yunduan looked at him with no expression on his face. “You better pray that no one else will pass by you in the future.”

Shao Sanlang’s face changed as he said regretfully, “I… I wasn’t paying attention…”

There were no rules in the countryside like this. Girls from farmers’ families went down to the field to work. There was always a matchmaker who would arrange the marriage, if the two sides found each other to be good suitors.

But private dates did not work that well.

There would be gossip and rumors spread all around, once they were heard and seen like this.

Moreover, Mom did not like the Yang Family…
