Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1044: Chapter 1044: Preparation_1 Chapter 1044: Chapter 1044: Preparation_1 “Isn’t that a bit of an exaggeration? We’re all country folks who dig for food in the soil, what’s with dressing up all fancy?” Qiao Xiaomai said.

“To blind them with our brilliance.”

“No need, my face alone shines brighter than any fancy clothes could hide,” Qiao Xiaomai said, raising her hand to touch her face.

Hmm, just as smooth and tender as always.

Upon hearing this, Tong Sanlang looked up, his gaze settling on her face. “Clothes make the man.”

“Those are just accessories. I’ve always relied on my looks to wow people,” Qiao Xiaomai said with a raised eyebrow.

Unable to suppress a smile, Tong Sanlang asked, “What about the incident with Princess Bai Zhi?”

“Because she cares about her face, I used mine to strike hers. This time, those aristocrats couldn’t care less about looks. In their eyes, no matter how fancy we dress, we’re still lowly upstarts,” Xiaomai retorted.

The aristocrats, confident in their noble lineage and deep heritage, would think of her as tacky and vulgar no matter how elaborately she dressed.

So there was no need to waste expensive fabric on clothes. It was unnecessary.

Hearing this, Tong Sanlang’s brows furrowed.

Thinking about the mockery they would face from those people, his fists clenched involuntarily.

Qiao Xiaomai patted his hand and said, “Don’t bother arguing with those idiots; in the end, they’ll all have to kneel before the Yang Family’s firepower. If they look down on us now, let them. Why should we care about their opinion?”

Ignoring those self-proclaimed highborn fools who looked down on others was the best response.

Let them revel in their imagined superiority; she’d just live her humble life.

No need for a flashy display of new clothes. A waste.

Listening to Qiao Xiaomai’s reasoning, Tong Sanlang’s clenched fist slowly relaxed.

Seeing this, Xiaomai patted him again, “Let’s think about what we need to bring instead.”

They definitely needed to visit Extreme Flavor Residence, but couldn’t reveal their connection to it. However, they could have the place find a small courtyard for her and Tong Sanlang, so they wouldn’t have to search for it themselves later.

With the courtyard taken care of, the next step was to decide what to bring.

Everything in the Capital City cost silver, and what she could buy was never as tasty as what she grew… Hmm, bring some sweet potatoes, beans, vegetables, a bottle of sesame oil, and take a couple of the pigs they were raising…

Even though the pigs had only been fed for less than two months, they had to bring some presentable gifts.

Besides food, there were clothes and bedding, which would fill up a wooden chest.

Then there were the daily necessities, which they could only buy in the Capital City; taking them from home would be too burdensome.

The couple discussed this topic until the sky was almost light.

With Tong Sanlang’s health recovered, staying up late was nothing to him. Despite the short sleep, he felt very much refreshed.

As soon as it was light out, he got up and started practicing punches and swords, as if trying to make up for the months of missed training.

Qiao Xiaomai slept until well into the morning, then got up for breakfast, and they began to pack.

This time, Yang Wenxiao had Fan Linong arrange for their travel to the Capital City; they wouldn’t need to rent a carriage, which made it more convenient than their previous trip to the Prefecture City.

It was exactly because of such convenience that Qiao Changshun’s old habits acted up again, standing to the side and suggesting a myriad of items for them to take along. As if a simple trip meant they had to bring the whole house.

Qiao Xiaomai refused all suggestions; after refusing, she went to fetch Fan Linong.

The last time she went to the Prefecture City, the Sun Family came over and caused a huge nuisance, nearly costing Zhuang Luhe her life. This time, they had to ensure the manor was well-protected.
