Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 144 - 144 Dumbfounded

144 Dumbfounded

Qiao Xuan shook her head but smiled. “We were just doing some business in the village nearby, but I heard that the scenery here is very good, so we came to take a look at it. It is very unlikely that we can find Chinese fleeceflower roots over 500 years old in this place. We would seek that somewhere else. Don’t worry, it is very likely to find it in the deep mountains!”

Only now did Yuezheng Xiao realize that he must have not asked the right question. He could not help but complain inwardly – this couple was indeed open-minded, how could they find a Chinese fleeceflower root over 500 years old so easily? What were they doing here, after they made the promise to them?

Moreover, they were caught red-handed by Brother Xie… What bad luck.

He was a Cultivated Talent, and she was the daughter of the County Magistrate, they should have the idea of who the Xie Family was, right? Why were they letting go of the opportunity of doing them a favor!

Yuezheng Xiao shook his head inwardly, but he did not want to show it. So he chuckled dryly. “That is true. The scenery here is indeed beautiful, let’s visit the place together?”

But Qiao Xuan paused. “I think that it is going to rain soon, so we are not going up. I suggest you two walk downhill as well!”

There was another change that happened to her superpower the day before. She could not only see the past and future of the strange man, but it led to another good function.

The humidity and temperature in the air were all related to the vegetation, so when she took a deep breath just now, she vaguely smelled something strange.

When she concentrated carefully and then inhaled again to distinguish, she could feel the humidity brought by the mountain wind, and the breath of rain.

It was going to rain soon.

This new superpower of hers was still weak, and the range was not wide, hence the prediction period was not completely accurate.

But she could easily confirm that it was going to rain soon.

Yuezheng Xiao subconsciously looked at the sky, hearing what Qiao Xuan said.

It was sunny everywhere, how could it be raining anytime soon?

Oh, she must be trying to find one excuse to get rid of them. Well, they were not friends, and, worse, were caught red-handed for being lazy. The couple must be feeling rather uncomfortable inside their hearts.

Even Shao Yunduan believed so.

He did not know what to say. The excuse his wife found was just… too unreliable…

But he nodded at the excuse and helped her anyway.

Shao Yunduan added. “True, the weather keeps changing after the Dragon Boat Festival, and it is going to rain soon… maybe. We will take your leave now, and you two better go downhill as well.”

“Alright then, see you.”

“Bye!”

Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan went down the hill together.

Qiao Xuan admired her husband’s excuse. She had her superpower that helped her to cheat, but what about her husband? Did he read so much so that he could predict the weather as well?

The couple had just walked into the village, when the rain came down heavily.

The couple found a farmer’s family for shelter.

“Good that we ran off the mountain fast enough!” Qiao Xuan stuck out her tongue. Otherwise she had no extra clothes to wear!

“Yes…” Shao Yunduan was dumbfounded.

So his wife was not coming up with an excuse? She really sensed the rain?

He asked involuntarily. “How did you know that it was going to rain soon?”

Qiao Xuan was startled. “You sensed that too, right? I saw the heavy cloud in the sky faraway.”
