The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

After Old Man Cao returned home, he pondered over and over again, and felt that this marriage alliance couldn’t really be severed. Even if it was truly broken off in the past, it must now be restored.

However, Old Lady Cao kept reminding him that the relationship between the Cao Family and the Ye Family was going to span three generations, which was somewhat distant. Even if the two families truly interacted in the future, it wouldn’t bring much benefit. Therefore, Old Lady Cao insisted on giving their granddaughter to Ye Zi’an as a concubine.

Once the granddaughter became a concubine and later gave birth to a child, the connection with the Cao Family would grow closer. As such, Old Man Cao, who was originally somewhat opposed to his granddaughter becoming a concubine, had now become completely agreeable to the idea.

Not only that, but after Cao Lingling was rejected by Ye Zi’an and Yang Chuxia, he thought of a way to have his grandson and granddaughter go to Mianyang alone to find Ye Zi’an.

He had clearly seen that no matter how they approached them, they would never agree to let Cao Lingling enter their household. It was better to send her directly to Mianyang. Once it became a fait accompli, even if they disagreed, it would be too late.

Indeed, Cao Lingling had come with the intention of climbing into bed. The Cao Family thought, as long as the granddaughter became a concubine in the Ye Family, wouldn’t their son’s employment be secured?

"Take them away first!" Ye Zi’an looked at the siblings, not wanting to say another word, and immediately instructed his people.

The Cao siblings had been quite obedient when they first arrived and went along with the people without fuss.

Ye Zi’an then called for Sister-in-law Li and Brother Li to ensure the two were kept under close watch.

Furthermore, he summoned the Ye Family’s New Year’s gift envoy and ordered them to set off back to Quanya the morning after next, taking the siblings with them.

The envoy originally planned to spend the New Year in Mianyang and return afterward, but now they had to leave early.

However, the Cao siblings were as skittish as rabbits. Upon hearing that Ye Zi’an wanted to send them back, Cao Lingling was crying, making a scene, and pleading.

But who was Ye Zi’an? A man of cold demeanor and heart, who completely ignored Cao Lingling’s tantrums, instructed Sister-in-law Li and others to bind the siblings and throw them onto the carriage.

Regrettably, he miscalculated the Cao Family’s determination to cling to the ’big tree’. For the siblings actually escaped on the way back to Quanya. Once they ran off, it wasn’t hard to guess that they headed back to Mianyang. But let us put that matter aside for now.

Turning to Yangshu Village, after Yang Chuxia sent a letter to Ye Zi’an, she began instructing her people to prepare for the New Year’s celebrations.

Whenever she had free time, she would continuously teach her son to speak. Yangyang had not uttered a similar sound since that one indistinct murmur.

As for Lele, he seemed unstoppable, calling ’Dad’ on the first day and ’Mom’ on the following day, which led Yang Chuxia to repeatedly praise her son as both smart and adorable.

However, in this world, having a son too smart and adorable is sometimes not a good thing, for he draws attention too soon.

Yes!

In the land under Great Zhou, there were those far in Mianyang coveting her husband, and those closer in a nearby village coveting her son.

Let’s begin with the nearer issue!

A few days ago, Yang Dayong’s son had his full-month celebration, and Ms. Liu Junior’s family had all come. At the time, Yang Chuxia was there with her two sons. Yang Chuxia was good-looking, and her two sons were even lovelier, with their family being wealthy. On the very day, Sister-in-law Li Junior conceived the idea of sending her own sister to the Ye Family, but she was stopped by Ms. Liu Junior.

However, once the desire for wealth and status arose, it was hard to put to rest without achieving one’s goals.

Sister-in-law Li Junior was tossing and turning at home, losing sleep at the thought of the Ye Family’s wealth, despite having no relation to them.
