Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 149 - 149 Not Really

149 Not Really

He was feeling a little guilty, nervous and anxious as well.

They were just a contract couple, and were not in a real relationship. She was building a road for her future, which was a normal thing, but somehow he could not stand that.

“Oh, you noticed that!” Qiao Xuan winked at him and smiled. “You are so smart!”

Shao Yunduan. “…”

He did not really want to be this smart.

But Qiao Xuan added. “I think that we should be better prepared for the future. You have seen how Qiao Wei treated me yesterday, and even if I didn’t want to irritate her, she would come to me for no reason. Madame Qiao adores her, and I am nothing in their eyes. They must be thinking that it is my luck when Qiao Wei can vent her anger on me.”

“But we are lucky to have been granted this chance, why not establish the relationship. We may not rely on this kind of relationship fully, but it is always better to have something, than nothing! Maybe one day, we can ask them for help.”

In one word, it was never easy to make a living.

She had just realized that Qiao Wei was a stupid woman, who was spoiled and had no brain.

She could humiliate her whenever she wanted, but she had no way to counter her.

Her words made Shao Yunduan feel motivated.

“I will definitely become the Recommended Man next year, I will!”

He looked at Qiao Xuan with a gaze full of profoundness. He was determined.

Qiao Xuan smiled and nodded. “Yes, fight on! I believe that you will too!”

She added. “Even if…”

“There is no even if.” Shao Yunduan said seriously, “I will definitely make it!”

If he made it, she would not have to be suppressed or scared or anxious.

Qiao Xuan was struck speechless. “Oh okay… I believe that you can make it too!”

He was so confident that she did not want to discourage him.

Shao Yunduan smiled and nodded. “Yes!”

As the couple returned home, they repeated the matter to Ms. Fang, who was very happy for them. She could not help but praise Qiao Xuan once again.

Now there were wonderful fields for more than 200 mu in the family!

They could have endless grains for the rest of their life!

Moreover, she was also happy for her son and daughter-in-law, even though those grains could not be shared.

But she also stressed to them about not revealing this matter to anyone else.

Ms. Fang cribbed to Qiao Xuan again.

Soon the spring plowing was coming…

Rakes needed to be made, and seedlings were required too.

The matter regarding seedling was easy, but rake was not so easy to make.

The problem was that not every household had bulls.

There were around 100 households in Shaoding Village, but only a quarter of them had bulls.

Therefore, when they needed to make the rake, they would need fathers and sons, brothers and even couples to make the rake, and do the plowing through pure manual work.

Or they would need to rent the bulls with money.

Bulls were expensive at that time.

So, ordinary families could only rent bulls for half of the work, leaving the other half for the family members to complete.
