The Valiant Farmgirl's Blackhearted Husband Wants a Hug

Chapter 36: Building a Good Relationship

The truth was, if her man had not urged her, she would have dawdled for a while.

However, her man was right. The earlier they finished their work, the earlier they could wrap up. After all, the job had been entrusted solely to them.

“Thank you for your hard work,” Qin Xiaoyao replied.

She put down her hoe and started to get busy too.

“After you’re done digging up the Chinese yam, come to my house for dinner.”

Big Girl Li subconsciously wanted to refuse.

However, Qin Xiaoyao added. “I have asked Mother and Yun’er to fry some lard at home in the afternoon. When the oil dregs come out, we can use it for cooking vegetables.”

“Although it can’t be considered a precious item, it can just barely satisfy my craving.”

Hearing this, Big Girl Li subconsciously swallowed her saliva. How could she still refuse?

In the past, when she was in her parents’ house, she was doted on by her parents and had more opportunities to eat meat than now.

However, ever since she married into Brook Falls Village, although the Liu family’s financial situation was not bad in the village, there was an unmarried younger brother and a younger sister who was only ten years old in Daniu’s family.

If her mother-in-law and father-in-law had to start saving up for betrothal gifts for her little brother-in-law, wouldn’t her family’s finances become tight?

The problem of not having enough to eat didn’t exist, but there was really very little meat and fish.

When Liu Daniu heard Qin Xiaoyao’s words, he was stunned for a moment.

Thinking of the taste of vegetables stir-fried with lard, he couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.

In fact, his family’s situation was still good in the past. It was only after he married his wife that the opportunities for them to eat meat and fish became less.

This was because when he married his wife, his family had to give a lot of betrothal gifts.

In addition to the renovation of the house and the banquet, after all the wedding preparations, the family’s finances had grown leaner.

His mother had said that now that he had already gotten a wife, he had to think about his younger brother.

What she said made sense, so he did not argue back.

Fortunately, though there was less meat and fish, he could still fill his tummy full for every meal. Both he and his wife accepted it.

So, as the couple remained silent, the matter of eating vegetables stir-fried with lard at the Song family’s house was settled.

With this matter confirmed, the atmosphere among the three of them became much more harmonious.

Liu Daniu actually started asking Qin Xiaoyao about Song Que.

“We invited Doctor Li from the town to take a look, and he also prescribed some medicine. He said that for Husband to recover fully, he’ll need to recuperate for half a year.” Qin Xiaoyao replied as she worked with her hoe.

Liu Daniu gasped as he listened.

“He has to lie down for half a year?”

“It’s not lying down for half a year. He will be able to walk in about one and a half months, but he’ll need to continue to rest after that. It’ll take half a year for him to recover fully,” Qin Xiaoyao explained.

Liu Daniu still looked at Qin Xiaoyao with sympathy.

“Big Brother Song is also blessed to have you to support him.” That was what he honestly thought at the moment.

Just imagine, if he had ended up like Song Que… Would his wife work so hard for him?

Alright, he wasn’t sure… Besides, his wife wasn’t as strong as Mrs. Song, was she?

Qin Xiaoyao chuckled.

“Blessed? If he hadn’t gotten angry with me, he wouldn’t be in trouble now.”

“Alright, let’s not talk about him. Let’s talk about you two. When you two got married, I went back to my parents’ house and didn’t show up.”

Liu Daniu’s face froze as he looked at his wife.

It was all his wife’s fault for not telling him about her relationship with Mrs. Song.

However, after thinking about it carefully, even if his wife had told him at that time, he probably wouldn’t have invited her since he had misconceptions about Mrs. Song then.

At the thought of this, Liu Daniu’s expression became a little better.

“Hehe! The wedding banquet was held in a hurry and I forgot about this. It’s my fault. Sister Sanya, you can’t hold a grudge against me because of this!” Big Girl Li said quickly. She looked like she was sincerely admitting her mistake.

Qin Xiaoyao chuckled. “What grudge can I hold? Out of all the new wives in Brook Falls Village, we’re the only ones from town. I’m still hoping to spend more time with you so that I can have company.”

Grudge? There was nothing like that.

If Qin Xiaoyao were Big Girl Li, she wouldn’t invite her predecessor either. She would only hide far away.

Big Girl Li’s expression was full of surprise.

“Er… of course, of course...” She replied in a flattering manner.

In fact, she was about to cry in her heart.

This time, it was really the end. She and Qin Sanya were inextricably bound together henceforth…

Liu Daniu did not know what was going on. In fact, he was happy to see his wife and Mrs. Song’s ‘deep sisterly bond.’

“This is a good relationship. I’ll be more at ease if Big Girl can be closer to Mrs. Song in the future,” he said.

Big Girl Li looked at her man and only two words appeared in her heart: Stupid idiot…

“Hehe! It’s good that Brother Daniu doesn’t look down on me.” Qin Xiaoyao laughed in response.

“Before this… Sigh, I did do a lot of stupid things.”

“What happened in the past is all in the past now. Mrs. Song, you’re deeply devoted to Big Brother Song. He will be able to feel it sooner or later,” Liu Daniu quickly said.

Look at how good Daniu was. In order to comfort Mrs. Song, he even used such romantic words.

...

Hehe, it seemed that his four years in the private school had not been spent in vain.

Qin Xiaoyao laughed with amusement at Liu Daniu’s words.

“Then I’ll have to thank Brother Daniu for your kind words!” she said candidly.

Liu Daniu scratched the back of his head. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Mrs. Song’s personality was not bad.

“Ahem…” At this moment, Big Girl Li cleared her throat and reminded her man.

Only then did Liu Daniu come back to his senses.

When he turned around and saw his wife’s look of displeasure, he knew that she was jealous again. He suddenly felt a little happy in his heart.

He was still better off by comparison. He liked the wife he married and she cared about him too.

Qin Xiaoyao glanced at the couple’s situation, then lowered her head and laughed. She continued chatting with them.

“Do you two have any plans for the future?”

“Uh, I mean, are you thinking of doing anything to make a living?”

...

She knew a little about the Liu family’s situation.

Old Father Liu and Mother Liu were true-blue farmers. They raised their three children by working diligently on their family’s land.

Now that Liu Daniu was married, he still had to take care of Liu Erniu and Liu Xiaomei.

There was only so much land in the house, and the elderly couple were still strong. They could still manage the workload together with Liu Erniu and Liu Xiaomei, both of whom had grown up, without problems.

This was also the reason she could still invite the couple to help her even though it was the busy spring planting season.

When Liu Daniu heard this, he fell silent.

“My mother wants me to go to town to find work to help with the family,” he said after some thought.

He then looked at his wife.

“I even asked my father-in-law to help me ask around to see if there are any suitable jobs.” As he said this, Liu Daniu’s mood wasn’t very good.

“Isn’t that good? Working in town might be more cost-effective than farming,” Qin Xiaoyao asked with a smile.

“What’s good about it? The work in the town either requires people to live nearby or they will arrange accommodation for us. We are only allowed to go home once every ten days to half a month.” Liu Daniu grumbled.

“I’ve just gotten married to Big Girl. If I really go to town, won’t we have to separate?”

When Big Girl Li heard this, she was very surprised, but immediately after that, a feeling of sweet happiness welled up in her heart.

So her man didn’t want to work in town because he couldn’t bear to leave her. Sob… She had wrongly blamed her man.
