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

Chapter 531: Chapter 531: Why haven’t you two married yet?

Having heard Qiao Xiaomai talk about the past events, Yang Ye took it on. “No problem.”

“Thank you very much, Your Highness.” Qiao Xiaomai expressed sincerely.

Although Yang Ye has given her lots of trouble, seeing as her home sits directly atop a treasure, meeting Yang Ye was just a matter of time.

The precise details of all this can’t be quantified, but for everything he has done, Yang Ye deserved her gratitude.

“It’s a small matter.” Yang Ye waved his hand, seeing that he had finished the watermelon in his bowl, he wiped his hands with a kerchief and started to probe into her gossip, “Speaking of which, why have you and Tong Sanlang not married yet?”

“Had I known you two weren’t married, I would have taken you to Capital City with Grandpa Emperor.”

Qiao Xiaomai, “…It’s a long story.”

“No worries, we have plenty of time, take your time to tell.” Yang Ye showed interest, ready to listen.

Qiao Xiaomai blinked, this involved the Tong Family’s dirty laundry, it wouldn’t be good to talk about it openly.

“Did that boy fall out of love with you?” Yang Ye guessed, seeing her hesitation.

“No.” Qiao Xiaomai quickly shook her head.

Yang Ye lightly chuckled, “Then why not marry?”

“Because… his family doesn’t like me much.” Qiao Xiaomai pondered for a moment and answered honestly.

“Oh? Be more specific.” Yang Ye showed interest.

Thus, the time before lunch passed while Qiao Xiaomai recounted her story.

Yang Ye listened with great interest.

He usually heard about the dirty dealings of the nobility, so hearing about such a grounded issue like the Tong Family bickering over a few coins was refreshing.

“If his family dislikes you that much, why not just not marry them, you’ll only get more problems.”

Qiao Xiaomai smiled without saying anything.

Yang Ye clicked his tongue, “Fool.”

Qiao Xiaomai still remained silent.

“Let’s go, off to the kitchen to prepare lunch.” Yang Ye stood up.

He had no good advice for this situation, dealing with a unreasonable mother-in-law, just like Zhuang Luhe’s predicament, with filial piety hanging over their heads, it’s a tricky situation.

So afterward, Qiao Xiaomai went to the kitchen to prepare lunch, and Yang Ye stood in the doorway, leaning against the door frame, chatting incessantly with her.

In the heat of the day, he didn’t mind the heat, standing there until Qiao Xiaomai had finished cooking lunch.

After lunch, Yang Ye took the carriage, personally escorting Qiao Xiaomai home.

They conversed about chili peppers, which he praised immensely.

He had cooked chili oil and other dishes following Qiao Xiaomai’s recipe, enjoying them so much that he wished he could bite off his own tongue.

Unfortunately, it was very limited, after three or four meals, he had none left.

“But luckily, I still have a bowl of chili oil.” Yang Ye sighed, “Can you think of a way to remove the bitterness of the Cornelian Cherry?”

“I’m afraid I can’t help with that.” Qiao Xiaomai shook her head.

Yang Ye looked at the bowl of chili oil like it was a treasure, making her wish she could present him with the chili peppers from her space.

But she couldn’t, for she couldn’t explain, and so she changed the subject, “I’ve tried first thing this morning, there’s no way to remove it.”

Yang Ye let out a regretful sigh.

As a food lover, after tasting the deliciousness of chili peppers, many dishes were…

Hard to swallow!

Engaging in idle chatter, the carriage quickly arrived in Anping Village. Yang Ye specifically ordered the coachman to travel to the Tong family’s new house.

He had lived there for a while, and now the Tong Family had opened a shop there, he wanted to take a look.

At this time, it was the Zhang Family who was in charge of the shop. Only three customers came in all morning, two bought vinegar and one bought three pieces of malt sugar, the income was pitifully small.
