She went to a shady spot and took out the bean sprouts.
The weather is hot now, and in just four days, the bean sprouts have grown to the height of my middle finger. They are white and tender, and look fresh and clean.
She pulled a handful from the basket and stir-fried some mung bean sprouts.
I just stir-fried a couple of vegetables, and that was my meal.
At the dinner table, Gu Yanliu looked at the bean sprouts in her bowl and said, "Sister-in-law, these bean sprouts are growing really well. They taste so refreshing on this hot day."
"It's nothing, it's quite simple. If you like it, eat more. We'll just keep having babies in the future." As he spoke, he put a piece of bean sprout into her bowl.
Gu Yanbai suddenly felt a little heartbroken. Didn't they see him sitting right there?
And they didn't even try to comfort me while I was still angry?
Unfortunately, the two of them continued chatting and laughing, showing no intention of trying to coax him at all.
Or perhaps he simply didn't realize he was still angry.
The food in his mouth tasted like wax; he poked at the bowl listlessly, glancing at the two of them every now and then.
But the two of them were so engrossed in their meal that they didn't notice him at all.
He angrily smacked his lips a few times, quickly finished the rice in his bowl, threw down his chopsticks, and left.
Gu Yanliu looked bewildered and whispered, "What's wrong with my brother?"
Su Nianxue shook her head. "I don't know. Maybe she was upset about something outside?"
"Hmm, very likely, but with my brother's personality, who would dare to wrong him? I'm quite curious." Gu Yanliu looked gossipy.
"Forget it, curiosity killed the cat. Let's just pretend we don't know, or he might take it out on us later."
Gu Yanbai...
When did he take his anger out on them?
He only felt a dull pain in the area of his liver.
He lay down on the bed angrily, "Hmph, I'm not taking a bath, I'll make you stink!"
After washing up in the evening, Su Nianxue sat in front of her dressing table, gently wiping her wet hair with a towel.
"Once this season's crops are harvested, I'll lease out all the land in my family." Gu Yanbai's soft voice came from behind.
Su Nianxue stopped drying her hair and turned around in surprise. "Why?"
Why should we let others plant our crops when we're doing just fine?
Besides, if you don't like planting, then don't plant; just leave it to me.
What do you mean?
"So, I still have to rely on you to support me?" Gu Yanbai said nonchalantly, propping his head up with his hand.
"I did not mean that.
I just think that if you don't like working in the fields, then you shouldn't do it.
I enjoy doing it, so leave it all to me!
"We've both gotten what we deserve." She didn't even bother to dry her hair before sitting on the edge of the bed, trying to persuade him.
He was the most willful person, and she really couldn't sleep soundly without getting a definite answer from him.
Because she had just washed her hair, it had a distinctive fragrance from Bee & Flower shampoo.
Strands of water dripped down her hair and onto her chest, soaking a large area of her white shirt and subtly revealing the rise and fall of her chest.
His gaze hardened slightly, but his demeanor remained languid. "Everyone has their place. You really enjoy farming that much?"
Su Nianxue nodded, "Yes, isn't it good that we can have enough to eat just by farming?"
"Are you implying that I've been starving you?"
"No, but having land to cultivate gives me peace of mind."
She was telling the truth. Although Gu Yanbai rarely worked in the fields, he never skimped on her expenses.
During the time she was married, she had saved up quite a bit of money.
Not counting the bride price, he gave a considerable amount for household expenses alone.
He was very generous, always giving out large sums of money, at least several tens of dollars at a time.
"That's settled then. As long as you have plenty to eat and drink, what's the point of farming this lousy land?"
Hearing that his tone seemed to be softening, Su Nianxue's eyes darted around, and she shook his hand, causing her wet clothes to roll around.
"I like farming, so please don't contract it out, okay?"
Gu Yanbai swallowed hard, his gaze burning even more intensely. This feeling was... quite wonderful.
He felt that his liver pain had subsided, and he even felt a faint sense of comfort. What was going on?
Why should I listen to you?
Besides, it's you who likes farming, not me. What good does it do me? Gu Yanbai's expression remained unchanged, but his tone became much warmer.
Su Nianxue was secretly delighted; there was hope!
"So what do you want?" Her tone was soft, and with her delicate, lotus-like face, Gu Yanbai almost couldn't keep up the act.
"It's not like there's no way." He composed himself, his tone full of enticement.
"What's the solution? Tell me." When Su Nianxue heard that he had agreed, her eyes immediately lit up, sparkling like starlight.
It made her even more striking, especially considering her pretty face.
However, it's a bit darker than before.
"If you make me happy, I won't take her out anymore, okay?" His large hand gently caressed her delicate neck.
The rough hands made her body tremble, and she seemed to understand what he meant.
Su Nianxue's face flushed. This scoundrel, all he knows is how to blackmail her.
But she still had to accept his blackmail.
Su Nianxue gritted her teeth and leaned in, "You have to keep your word. If I...do that with you, you're not allowed to rent out the land!"
"It depends on your performance." Gu Yanbai was very satisfied with her obedience, and placed his hands on her slender waist, his voice slightly hoarse.
Upon hearing those words, Su Nianxue immediately threw away his hand and got up to leave.
Does he think she's stupid?
If he goes back on his word after saying something so ambiguous, she'll have no recourse.
The thought of her putting in so much effort for him, only to have him refuse to budge afterward, makes her feel like she'd worked for nothing.
"Where are you going?" Gu Yanbai grabbed her wrist and forcefully pulled her onto the bed.
No, this isn't what he expected.
Shouldn't the next step be a back-and-forth exchange, like this or that?
But the art style just doesn't seem right.
"I'm going to sleep in Yanliu's room."
I'm not putting up with this anymore.
"Do whatever you want. At worst, I'll just go herd sheep on the mountain like Grandpa."
Believe it or not, this really opened up new ideas for her.
She has a lot of money now. If she really stops farming, she might actually be able to do something else.
"Su Nianxue!" Seeing her expression change from burning anger to excitement, how could he not understand what she meant?
That damned woman, she's really holding onto this matter.
He suddenly felt a dull ache in his liver again. Could it be that he hadn't gotten the chicken he wanted, but instead lost the rice?
"what?
Do you want to hit someone or something?
Grandpa said he's on my side. If you dare bully me, I'll go find Grandpa.
Seeing his gloomy appearance, Su Nianxue naturally brought up the old man.
