Sweet Wife Is Busy Farming

Chapter 17

Troublemakers

Ding Yao had seen it in the front yard and back yard. The rape and cucumber were grown in the vegetable field in the back yard, and there were other vegetables in the field. They were growing well, and the house was very clean. It was impossible to tell that there was no female housekeeper in the house. The housework was done by Song Yu, who was nine years old, and Song Xue, who was seven years old. The food on the table was delicious, and it was made by Song Yi, who guided Song Yu with a cane.

As Song Xiuyan had said, his younger siblings were all very capable. Song Yi was in a particularly good mood because he knew that there was hope for his leg to be healed. Ding Yao looked at the Song family’s siblings and couldn’t help but exclaim to herself. The Song family’s siblings were all very good-looking. They didn’t look like children born and raised in the countryside. She had just looked in the mirror. She knew that her looks were passable. It was just that she looked a little thinner now that she was malnourished. In the future, when her nutrition caught up, she would definitely be a beauty.

While everyone was enjoying their meal, a young girl around 17 or 18 years old came in with two insoles in her hands. “Wow, it smells so good. What are you guys eating at home that smells so good?”

“Caiyun!” Song Xue excitedly pulled Zhao Caiyun and introduced her. “Tonight, our family is eating braised rabbit meat, chicken soup, and rice! As well as cucumbers and fried canola!”

Zhao Caiyun went to the dining table and looked straight at Song Xiuyan. Unfortunately, Song Xiuyan lowered his head and ate without looking at her. Zhao Caiyun looked at the meat on the table and swallowed hard. She wanted to eat it a little, but no one asked her to eat it. She was too embarrassed to sit down herself. In a normal family, it would be good enough to have rice to eat. Meat was a luxury item, and she wouldn’t see it once a month.

Zhao Caiyun felt a little envious. She lived next door and knew that Song Xiuyan’s family was so poor that they could barely eat three meals a day. They hunted rabbits and pheasants on the mountain and couldn’t bear to eat them. They all went to town to sell them for money, yet, they were so extravagant tonight. Without even thinking about it, it must be because of that mute girl Ding Yao.

Zhao Caiyun glanced at Ding Yao with obvious hostility in her eyes. How could a mute girl be worthy of Song Xiuyan? Ding Yao was baffled. She didn’t even know this girl, so how could this girl be so hostile to her?

Zhao Caiyun glared at Ding Yao, then turned to Song Xiuyan and handed him the insoles in her arms. “Song Xiuyan, I came here to give you the insoles.”

Song Xiuyan calmly refused, “I don’t lack insoles. Sorry to trouble you.” He knew that Zhao Caiyun liked him and would always come to their house whenever she was free, but Song Xiuyan didn’t like Zhao Caiyun. He didn’t like her before, and he wouldn’t like her in the future. Zhao Caiyun wasn’t his type. Furthermore, he had Ding Yao now.

Zhao Caiyun didn’t give up. She directly put down the insoles. “It’s no trouble. I made these insoles according to your size, Song Xiuyan. I also added some stitches. Other than you, I can’t bear to give them to anyone else.” Her words were very ambiguous.

Song Xiuyan instantly frowned. “My size? How did you know my size?” What did Zhao Caiyun mean? It was Ding Yao’s first day at home, and Zhao Caiyun wanted to sow discord between them?

Song Yang quickly explained, “Brother, I gave it to her. The last time I saw your insole break, I took it and let Caiyun make two insoles. Of course, I didn’t let Caiyun do it for nothing. I gave her family a pheasant in exchange, but I didn’t expect her to make two more insoles after that…”

After figuring out the information source of the size, Song Xiuyan rejected Zhao Caiyun once again. “Since this insole wasn’t custom-made by my family, there’s no reason for you to ask me to buy it just because it was made according to my size, right?”

Ding Yao wanted to laugh as she listened from the side. She could tell that Zhao Caiyun liked Song Xiuyan, which was why she was hostile toward her. However, Song Xiuyan clearly knew that Zhao Caiyun liked him, yet, he deliberately misinterpreted the meaning of Zhao Caiyun’s words. This could be considered as giving Zhao Caiyun a way out. If Zhao Caiyun was smart, she would know that Song Xiuyan was tactfully rejecting her, and she also knew that she had to stop. Unfortunately..

Zhao Caiyun panicked and explained with a red face, “Song Xiuyan, I didn’t think of taking your money. I already said that I’m giving it to you.”

Song Xiuyan said seriously, “Then I can’t take it. Our families aren’t related, so I have no reason to take your things. Besides, although our family is poor, we aren’t poor enough to rely on others to give us insoles.”
