Chapter 288 Picking Bean Pods



The soybean pods are plump and round, and just by looking at them now, you can tell that this batch of soybeans should have a good harvest.

At this stage, the beans are already very well grown. After shelling, each bean is plump and large.

Curious, he squatted down next to the soybeans, picked a bean, peeled it open, and asked Cheng Qingyan, "Qingyan, why can green beans be made into white tofu?"

This question stumped Cheng Qingyan. She thought, "This is a good question, but I shouldn't ask it again next time."

Covering Cheng Qingyan's hands with her sleeve, she took out a small handful of soybeans from her spatial storage and handed them to Yun Yue: "Mother, these are the soybeans for making tofu. The soybeans you are picking now are not yet at their normal maturity and harvesting period, so the soybeans we pick now cannot be used to make tofu."

"If you don't make tofu from soybeans, what do you make from them? By the way, are soybeans green when they're not fully mature? And why do immature soybeans look so much bigger than mature ones?"

"…It probably shrank after it matured…" This explanation was the truth, but it didn't sound like a serious answer at all.

Ye Lingyu had to suppress her laughter while helping to cut the beans; it was really hard on her.

Having a thirst for knowledge is a good thing; after all, there's always something to learn from others.

Someone of Yun Yue's status would probably never have set foot in the fields in her entire life if it weren't for Cheng Qingyan. What could you expect her to know? Knowing that soybeans are used to make tofu is already quite impressive.

Jiang Jiang, with a heavy sigh, carried several bean stalks that were almost as tall as her and placed them on the open ground to the side.

However, she got scratched by the fuzz on the bean stalks and bean pods, and after being hugged twice, she just kept wriggling around.

“Father, DouDou is naughty, DouDou will scratch people.”

Cheng Qingyan quickly fetched water for her to wash her hands, then wet a handkerchief and wiped her neck and face.

After wiping Jiangjiang's face, she didn't forget to comfort him: "Jiangjiang is good, Doudou is bad, Jiangjiang is good. When we get back, we'll tear that tickling Doudou to pieces, how about that?"

Jiangjiang suddenly felt that the scenes were described in a somewhat bloody way, and said with disgust, "Father, stop talking, Jiangjiang is scared, Mother, help me~ Father has gone mad!"

The child finished speaking and ran towards Ye Lingyu's side, as if fleeing a flood or a ferocious beast, seeking reliable shelter.

If we're talking about how powerful Ye Lingyu's protective backing is, then it's definitely powerful. Not only is her backing powerful, but her connections are also incredibly strong.

Tell me, how many people in this world would dare to offend Prince Ning and Marquis Pingle? And those who would dare to offend both of these powerful figures simultaneously are probably not even born yet.

Not to mention, Cheng Qingyan had absolutely no say in front of Ye Lingyu. She didn't dare to disobey her wife's wishes, so she found Jiang Jiang to be a very powerful backer.

Ye Lingyu tossed aside the soybeans she had just pulled out and caught Jiang Jiang, who was rushing towards her: "Slow down, watch your step, what if you fall?"

Jiang Jiang nestled in Ye Lingyu's arms and whined, "Mommy, Daddy is so scary, Jiang Jiang is frightened, waah~"

Cheng Qingyan gradually moved closer to Yun Yue. She suddenly realized that her daughter seemed to have picked up some strange things from someone. And she even went to Ye Lingyu to complain! Who gave her the courage?!

What's infuriating is that even though she didn't say anything excessive or do anything outrageous, she felt inexplicably guilty when Ye Lingyu looked over.

The slightest attempt to avoid her seemed to confirm Jiang Jiang's words, that she was a terrifying person, as if she had committed some heinous crime. But clearly, she hadn't done anything wrong, so she was really at a disadvantage.

If I had known this would happen, I should have taken all the good food Jiang Jiang had stored here and fed it to the dogs, and then scared her with the things she feared most. That would have been truly despicable.

But there was nothing she could do now; she couldn't possibly try anything funny in front of Ye Lingyu. When it was hot, she slept in bed every day, and she didn't want to be forced to sleep on the floor or kicked out of the room now that the weather was getting cooler.

That would be too much of a waste, as the floor under the bed is hard and the weather outside is cool.

The main problem is that without someone by her side more and more, she feels empty no matter where she is.

So when Ye Lingyu looked over, her eyes darted away.

Ye Lingyu saw through the fleeting glance and called out, "Ayan, come here and help me see what this is."

Cheng Qingyan put down what he was holding and quickly walked over: "Wife, what's wrong?"

Yun Yue sat to the side picking and collecting bean pods. According to Cheng Qingyan, these pods were to be taken home after being picked. Some beans needed to be shelled out, while others only needed their tips trimmed.

She and Tingyu were picking bean pods, while Hongyu was pulling beans. As for Cheng Qingyan, who had been called over by Ye Lingyu, they were all secretly glancing at him from time to time.

After all, Jiang Jiang went to complain, and Cheng Qingyan would soon be in trouble. They didn't want to miss such a rare sight as to see Cheng Qingyan being dealt with by Ye Lingyu.

Cheng Qingyan ran over, his eyes wide and innocent, and asked Ye Lingyu, "Wife~ I'm here, what can I see~"

Jiang Jiang hid behind Ye Lingyu, poked her head out, looked at Cheng Qingyan with ill intent, and made a face.

Ye Lingyu pulled Jiang Jiang from behind her: "Jiang Jiang, go help Grandma pick bean pods. Your mother is going to give your father a good talking-to."

Jiang Jiang, that little traitor, excitedly ran while looking back.

She didn't know how Ye Lingyu would deal with Cheng Qingyan, but adding a little fun to her peaceful life was something that could only be achieved by sacrificing her father.

After Jiang Jiang left, Cheng Qingyan felt that the spot where she was standing was a bit prickly. She wondered how Ye Lingyu would punish her; her mother and Hongyu were still here.

Pshaw, my thoughts are wandering. Even if her mother and Hongyu aren't here, she can't be bullied by Ye Lingyu here, right? After all, there are bugs in the bean field, and they prick people.

Looking at Cheng Qingyan's ever-changing expressions, Ye Lingyu knew that this person was probably thinking about some unreliable, wild ideas again.

He reached out and pinched Cheng Qingyan's ear, pulling her down to squat in the bean field: "Ayan, what are you thinking about? Why do you seem to be smiling so lewdly?"

The beans in the bean field grew very lushly, reaching waist-high. After the two people squatted down, they were completely hidden from view, and it was impossible to see what they were doing.

Cheng Qingyan took the initiative, putting his arm around Ye Lingyu's waist and whispering in her ear, "My wife, what else could I be thinking about besides you?"
