Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

The man frowned even more deeply, and turned impatient.

Seeing that she did not want to give up the topic, the man said with a smile, “Okay, okay I promise you that I will teach them a lesson, whenever I have the chance!”

“You have to find the chance!”

“Okay, okay, baby, let’s just drop this topic, we can just…”

“What? Oh…”

“…”

It was the Dragon Boat Festival.

Early in the morning, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan went out together.

They went to watch the boat race in the county.

Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao were excited and would have liked to follow along bBut Ms. Fang turned them down ruthlessly.

There were too many people at the race. Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan would not be able to take care of them. What if something happened to them?

The brother and sister did not insist either.

Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan took the bullock cart and went to the Yunshui River located in the south of the town.

The Yunshui River was a major river and it was flowing across the whole town.

The race was taking place on the broad side of the river, which was the best position for the race.

There was nice scenery around, and people often came here to ride horses and have fun, especially in spring.

When the two of them arrived, there were already many people on both sides of the riverbank. It was bustling, and people were well-dressed. They started to talk and cheer around, making comments.

It was the first time for Qiao Xuan to experience such a bustling scene. She got really excited to be here. Her eyes were large and sparkling. She looked around curiously.

Although there was no other entertainment in this era, the nature was pure and green, and she felt so happy to see all of this.

Looking at her enthusiasm, Shao Yunduan subconsciously slowed down and gave her a tour around, whilst thinking inside his heart – what a pitiful girl! She must have never been out in the town till now.

After a while, the two of them were united with those from the school.

Apart from Shao Yunduan, some of the fellows also had their family members with them and they greeted each other.

Qiao Xuan looked very pretty and behaved amicably. She stood out among everyone else, who knew about her background. So, they sized her up curiously and glanced at her on the sly.

Most of them could not help but feel jealous and envious of Shao Yunduan.

Honestly, Madame Qiao and County Magistrate Qiao had never revealed what Qiao Xuan had been through before she got married. After all, it was related to their reputation.

Therefore, all they knew about her was that she had a noble background.

Shao Liulang felt even worse inside his heart. Some of his fellows liked to tease him because they knew that he was narrow-minded. They kept saying that Shao Yunduan was lucky and talented, and that he was going to have a promising future. That made Shao Liulang feel even more jealous. He swore to himself that he was going to bring down Shao Yunduan on the occasion of couplet making today.

He was going to let everyone understand that he was more talented than Shao Yunduan, who had only pure luck on his side.
