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

Just when the atmosphere tensed, Zhu Cuiying, who was in the line, stood up and enthusiastically called out, “Mother, come this way! Changfu and I are almost there! Join us, and we’ll move to the back of the line!”

Zhu Cuiying sure knew how to seize the moment. She had no qualms about losing face either.

When Sun Junyan hadn’t been in trouble before, she used to lavish care on him, the hope of Qiao Family, only for her to turn hostile as soon as Sun Junyan and the Sun Family were exiled from the village. She immediately showed her true colors and seized Sun Junyan’s wheat fields with Qiao Chang’an and Qiao Changkang.

And during this time, she never visited them once.

So, when she heard Sun Mother haughtily snubbing people just now, she panicked.

Sun Junyan had been driven out of the village like a stray dog, and suddenly he was about to make a comeback with the help of a benefactor?

Oh dear, she would have to return the wheat fields she had seized!

So seeing Sun Mother unable to withstand the blow from Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Tiehu, she quickly moved in to curry favor.

With Qiao Xiaomai backed by His Highness Prince Wei, she needed to ingratiate herself with him.

And with Sun Mother and Sun Junyan having the support of General Cen, she needed to ingratiate herself with them as well.

Qiao Changfu, sharing the same thought as her, the couple stepped out of the line, hauled Sun Mother up, calling her ‘mother’ as never before. They invited her, “Mother, join us. It’s almost our turn.”

“You must have missed Meipan after being away from the village for so long, right? She’s at home, still the same, a spoiled young lady.”

Due to Qiao Qinghe’s deep disappointment he gave up disciplining Qiao Meipan, therefore she remained just as she was before, doing only light chores at home without having to work in the fields.

Not participating in field work was seen as being spoiled by farmers.

Upon seeing this, Qiao Changkang and his wife Wu Yinfeng, hesitated for a while then stood up.

Although their family now had a savings of six hundred taels of silver, they had also seized Sun Junyan’s land back then. Now that Sun Junyan was prospering, they figured they had to make amends and return the land.

“Mother, rest by the side for a while, I’ll line up for you. You can just rest,” Qiao Changkang handed his seated stool over to Sun Mother.

There was no shade in the center of the threshing ground, but a few trees were planted at the edge for people to rest.

Sun Mother’s old face turned beet red, she glared fiercely at these two couples, and sat tight on the ground, “Where is my third son!”

She couldn’t make power play in front of Tong Tiehu, but she could, towards her own sons, right?

Unfilial sons!

They seized her Xiaowu’s land; that issue would never be settled!

“The third son, he burned down Changsun’s wheat. Also, it was he who caused Changsun to break his leg. A few days ago, he was sentenced by the county magistrate and is now in jail,” explained Qiao Changfu.

Zhao Shufen was not there at the moment. As a woman, it was a bit difficult for her to bring the wheat to the threshing ground alone, hence she was running late.

“What?!” Sun Mother stamped her foot upon hearing this.

Of course, it was a foot stamping in shock.

When Qiao Xiaomai came to inquire if she had burnt the wheat, she had been secretly rejoicing and applauding the unknown hero in her heart. Who would have known that this hero was her own third son!

Indeed, Qiao Xiaomai was wicked, his heart was venomous, more so than the most poisonous snake and scorpion.

Having hundreds of acres of land and mountains of gold and silver at home, he could still fuss over that tiny bit of wheat.

And for that smidgen of wheat, he even had his own uncle sent to jail. He was ruthless and heartless, he deserved to be struck by lightning!

She unconsciously overlooked the part that Qiao Chang’an caused Changsun to break his leg. She had always thought that it was the retribution for Changsun and Zhuang Liihe’s ingratitude. She hadn’t realized it was man-made.
