Farming Happiness: Husband, Come and Plough the Fields

FH Chapter 9: 比漢子還漢子

Act like a man than a man

Xiao Zhu Zi’s father, nicknamed Da Zhu Zi, is the village idiot, otherwise he wouldn’t have been given such a name.

 

He was 8 feet tall, muscular and dark-skinned, probably because he was always asked to kill pigs in the village.His face is a bit vicious.

        

Like a big pillar? Once again, Liu was so upset that she could hardly believe her ears and was in deep doubt.

 

“Just as tall as my two, and very dark, that dark, just like the wild pig that fled to our village one day…”

 

Xiao Zhu Zhi was bored,his parents said that one should be honest and not lie, but why does he tell the truth, yet why people don’t believe him?

 

Li Haitang squatted on the ground, completely laughing, this little devil (brat), said that Sun Xing’s wife looks like his father, and said that she looks like a wild pig, so his father is…

 

If Da Zhu Zi heard this, he would have slapped the bottom of his shoe and sent his stupid son flying.

 

“Ha ha, ha ha ha! Widow Sun, you have a day like this too!”

    

Liu laughed sardonically that the birds in the trees flew wildly and countless leaves fell, and she put her hands on her hips for the first time and rewarded Xiao Zhu Zi with one wen money and laughing incomparably carefree and happy. 

 

If the widow Sun searched for a daughter in law who is more like a man, she could only work as a cow and a horse in the future.
If those who did not know the situation thought that she treated her daughter-in-law like a man.
They would think that the widow Sun committed adultery. 

 

“Haitang, look, look, Sun Xing has sold himself for his future.
Tonight, at the wedding, it is not certain who will ride who!”

 

Liu’s gossip heart was so strong that she was anxious to go back and find someone to talk to so she turned to Li Haitang and said, “Come on, let’s go home!”

    

It had rained during the night and the morning air was fresh and fragrant with the scent of the earth.
Li Haitang took a deep breath and felt relieved.
She really didn’t want to go back to the Li family’s dark little cage. 

 

“Auntie, I haven’t seen my little brother yet, so I’m certain that I won’t do anything stupid.”

 

Li Haitang had just come out for a while and was in no hurry to go back to the prison, so she delayed as long as she could, discussing with Liu, “Why don’t you go back first, eldest aunt, and I’ll go home later?”

 

“No, can’t, your grandma already reminded you about it.”

 

When it came to Li Haitang’s freedom, Liu’s feverish mind slowly became calm, and she had not forgotten her proper business.

 

When she returned to the Li family, there was still work for her to do, but if she wandered around, she could still be lazy.

After some calculations, Liu took Li Haitang with her and went straight to the village to the home of Mrs.
Xu.

 

Madam Xu was not from Li’s village, but had relatives in the village, and she was a childless old woman so she stayed in Li’s village for a few months in one year.

 

She has been a tooth woman (woman trafficking in young girls) for decades, specializing in human trafficking and forcing a well-born girl or virtuous woman into prostitution, and does not care about her conscience as long as she is paid enough money.

 

Qin Counselor fell in love with Li Haitang.
He asked Granny Xu to match her with him.
The original body bitterly hated Granny Xu, but the Li family saw her as their benefactor.

 

“Ai yo, take a look, whose daughter is this? She’s so pretty!”

    

Granny Xu is feeding the chickens with a food bowl.
When she saw Liu leading Li Haitang to the door, her eyes lit up and she was busy praising her.    

 

Li Haitang was indeed not at all like the girls in the village, she had just turned fifteen and was like a budding flower, her face was white and naturally blushing red, and healthy looking.
When she stands in front of people, she immediately stands out, people could immediately tell that she was different, even her shabby clothes could not hide her figure.

 

Tsk, tsk, tsk, If you sell her to a ‘flower house’ and nurture her for a year and a half, maybe she’ll be a legendary tree that sheds coins when shaken—a ready source of money but what a pity that she was wasted on an old man.
