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

Chapter 1465: Chapter 1464: Tongsanlang’s Dependence_1 Chapter 1465: Chapter 1464: Tongsanlang’s Dependence_1 He was originally tasked with the reconstruction of the “Daqi Laws,” but he had traveled throughout Daqi due to Zhuang Luhe’s matter. Barely back for a few days, he had set out again to find Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang, and because of this, he encountered the Tianlong Gang.

On the way back, he pondered over the canal project. His mind was entirely occupied with it; he had no time to attend to the matters of the Charity Hall!

“If you’re unwilling to do it, then find someone else to take over,” Qiao Xiaomai said.

Upon hearing this, Yang Ye’s eyes darted around, “Why not have your mother take the lead directly?”

“That won’t work, she’s just a country woman; how could she lead the Charity Hall?”

“Just give it a try, start with Changyi Prefecture,” Yang Ye said, nodding his chin towards Tong Sanlang. “Sanlang also needs to recuperate. By then, your whole family can return to the manor. You can tinker around in Changyi Prefecture–after all, it’s just one prefecture, which you can surely handle.”

After hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai thought for a moment, then sighed, “Then I’ll go to the Palace and ask the Retired Emperor.”

To tinker in Changyi Prefecture, they would need Yang Wenxiao’s consent.

Since the canal couldn’t be finished in the short term, she decided to put her energy into the Charity Hall.

As she spoke, she couldn’t help but glance at Tong Sanlang. The illness she sparked out of her own stubbornness, she must try her best to make it right.

Not long after Yang Ye and Bei Lingsu left, Tong Sanlang woke up.

Qiao Xiaomai shared the plan with him, and immediately, a look of guilt appeared on his face. “It’s all my fault.”

“Who told you to have a conscience?” said Qiao Xiaomai in an indifferent tone. “Being filial to your mother, it shows you are a good person.”

Just as Bei Lingsu had said, at the very least, in terms of intimate relations, he wouldn’t wrong her.

In ancient times, especially for men educated with a head full of feudal beliefs, it was already quite good to be at Tong Sanlang’s level.

When it comes to human nature, it really can’t withstand close scrutiny.

Don’t easily put human nature to the test; it’s enough if there are no errors in the big direction, and small details should be ignored if possible.

And emotional issues are not like mathematics, there are no precise numerical answers.

She should put aside her sense of inequality and unfairness, compare with the men around her, and make do with what she has.

Thinking this way, Qiao Xiaomai noticed Tong Sanlang staring at her profile, a multitude of unspoken words clogging his heart, not knowing what to say.

He was making an effort, trying hard to reach the standard Qiao Xiaomai had set for him.

The mistakes he had made before, he would definitely not repeat them.

The next day, Tong Sanlang showed some improvement, but he still needed to rest in bed.

Qiao Xiaomai let Haifeng take Tong Tiehu, Qiao Changshun, Qiao Dami, and Zhuang Luhe out for shopping, while she stayed behind to care for Tong Sanlang.

After his serious illness, Tong Sanlang’s dependency on her reached an unprecedented level; whenever he was awake, his gaze was constantly fixed on her, impossible to peel away. If she needed to leave his field of vision, he would look despondently towards the door, the longing and desire in his dark eyes especially touching.

Qiao Xiaomai knew, he was afraid she would leave.

The Guard Team outside had not been dismissed, and since he couldn’t move, his worries and fears were unprecedented.

He was afraid, very afraid.

Understanding his thoughts, Qiao Xiaomai complied with his desires, staying by his side as much as possible. Since they had already made do and almost cost him his life, she did not want to torture him further.

Unable to leave the prefecture, she entrusted all internal affairs to the mammy sent by Yang Wenxiao, letting her handle the preparation for the New Year’s goods.

Since it was her and Tong Sanlang’s first time staying in the Capital City for the New Year, there was no need for social visits, so purchasing some New Year’s goods was sufficient.
