At this mont, Xiaoxiao was busy in the yard when she noticed soone peering inside from the gate.
Oh? Isn’t that my husband’s Little Qingi? It seems like a mont for childhood sweethearts to et.
Thinking that they were only fake spouses anyway, Xiaoxiao decided to help them connect and went to find Yang Ming:
"Yang Ming, soone is looking for you outside!"
"..."
Upon hearing Xiaoxiao’s words, Yang Ming went out.
The woman who doubted what was happening imdiately asked, "Sister-in-law, who is it?"
"Oh, it’s Yang Ming’s Little Qingi!"
"What? Sister-in-law, are you crazy? How can you let your husband et alone with another woman? Especially since they have that kind of relationship!"
Although she said that, the woman was calculating in her heart—could it be that her sister-in-law really liked soone else now, and that’s why she didn’t care?
"Hehe, hehe, I’m just testing him!"
Xiaoxiao awkwardly replied, surely she couldn’t admit she was creating an opportunity for her supposed husband! That would blow her cover!
But this woman, too direct with her words, ntioned their relationship right in front of her. It was a good thing Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming were just pretending, or wouldn’t this cause a huge conflict?
It had to be said, Xiaoxiao realized that every dostic conflict was always sparked by this woman’s mouth.
When Yang Ming reached the gate, he was surprised to see that the visitor was Hehua.
"Brother Ming!" As soon as Hehua saw Yang Ming co out, she rushed forward, her sweet voice making everyone’s skin crawl.
"Hehua, what brought you here, is there sothing you need?"
"I heard your family was looking to hire help. Brother Ming, could you let work at your place?"
Hehua felt her opportunity had arrived. Her mother had always disapproved of her relationship with Brother Ming, looking down on his family’s poverty. But now that his family had money and could afford to hire help, and since Brother Ming was a scholar, her mother would surely agree. With her beauty, she was certain she could outshine Zhong Xiaoxiao.
"I’m afraid that’s not possible!"
Yang Ming was well aware of Xiaoxiao’s hiring criteria, so he couldn’t agree; he was a man of principle.
"Why not, Brother Ming? Help out, is it because your sister-in-law doesn’t agree with coming?"
As she spoke, she even started to cry, thinking no man could resist a woman’s tears.
"Hey, don’t cry. You better head back, my sister-in-law doesn’t even know you want to co. There’s no question of agreent or disagreent!"
Yang Ming was indeed helpless in front of a crying woman, at twenty years old he had barely spoken to several won.
"Then please ask your sister-in-law for , I’m begging you, Brother Ming."
"You should go back, it definitely won’t work."
Having said that, Yang Ming went into the yard and closed the large gate without waiting for Hehua to say another word.
Hehua stomped her foot, walking away reluctantly.
That night, Xiaoxiao was still doing her things, as Yang Ming had beco used to being treated as if he were invisible.
"Today it was Hehua who looked for , she asked if she could work for us?"
"..." Xiaoxiao hadn’t expected Yang Ming to bring up the matter himself, had he agreed already and didn’t know how to explain it to her?
"So you agreed?"
"No!"
"..."
There goes an opportunity wasted, how frustrating!
"Actually, you know, I just worry about hiring soone too young, so I set the age limit to being married with children—she’s eighteen now, should be old enough."
"It’s not suitable. The Village Chief has already set the standard. How can there be exceptions? What would the other villagers think?"
"..."
Oh! This cheap husband really does have principles!
