The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Ms. Liu Junior and the other ladies thought this idea was not bad.

When Ms. Liu Junior had wrapped up the child, the group of four set out for the Ye Family.

At that moment, Yang Chuxia was entertaining Yangyang, trying to get him to talk. Lele had begun to blurt out words one by one, but Yangyang, since uttering a muffled sound that day, had fallen silent, and she persisted in coaxing her son to speak.

She thought, since Lele had already started to speak, and the brothers were twins, there was no reason the other couldn’t as well.

Upon hearing Sister-in-law Li say that the Land Officer’s wife and Ms. Liu Junior had arrived, she hurriedly asked them to be let in.

However, when the group entered the room and she saw Ms. Liu Junior’s sister-in-law and mother accompanying them, she was very surprised. Why had these two also come along?

Once Ms. Liu Junior’s mother and sister-in-law reached the Ye Family, from the front courtyard they could already see three small, unevenly distributed buildings, which dazzled them. Once inside the courtyard and seeing the gardens and the newly built pond with fish floating in it, and trees of all kinds they did not recognize, they marveled at how a wealthy family lived.

What they didn’t know was that the Yang Family’s courtyard was actually built according to the grandeur expected of a wealthy family’s estate, while the Ye Family’s place was more like a holiday villa.

After they entered the small building and saw the interior decorations, the rosewood tables and chairs exuded luxury. Then they saw the two children on the couch, one sitting and flipping through a book, the other giggling and hugging his mother’s arm.

The two children were both so beautiful, like little deities from a play.

Ms. Liu Junior’s sister-in-law’s desire to form a family alliance grew even more intense, but Ms. Liu Junior’s mother felt the idea might be unrealistic; these children were so well-off. To be honest, her own granddaughter really wasn’t a suitable match.

"Grand aunt, little aunt, how come you are here? Qingkang is here too."

Yang Chuxia quickly got up with a smile and picked up Yangyang.

"Please sit down." She then said to Ms. Liu Junior’s mother and aunt, "Ms. Liu and auntie, please have a seat as well."

"Mingcui, go pour some tea for everyone."

"There’s no need to fuss," said the Land Officer’s wife, waving her hand. "We had tea before coming."

Seeing Lele persistently flipping through the book, the Land Officer’s wife asked, "Can Lele understand what he’s reading?"

"He’s just casually flipping through it. He gets unhappy if we don’t let him," Yang Chuxia chuckled and took the book from him, directing him to say, "Call her great-grandma, this is great-grandma."

When Lele saw his book taken away, he looked at his mother, then at the Land Officer’s wife, and rubbed his eyes. His adorable action made the Land Officer’s wife hurriedly pick him up.

"He’s so young, how could he start talking already?"

To their surprise, just as she finished her sentence, Lele said, "Great, great..." He could only say one word at a time, trying to call her great-grandma.

"Wow, Lele can speak already?" The Land Officer’s wife was caught off guard. "He’s speaking so early."

"Sister-in-law Li said he started talking early too. He can only say one word for now."

"What about Yangyang? Can he talk too?"

Yang Chuxia stroked Yangyang’s little hand. "He’s not ready yet; I think we’ll have to wait a bit longer."

That’s when Lele grabbed the Land Officer’s wife’s sleeve, eagerly shouting, "Book, book, book." His voice was crisp and clear.

The Land Officer’s wife was taken aback. "Does he want a book?"

Yang Chuxia laughed, "That’s exactly what he wants. He must have inherited it from Brother An. Every day when he wakes up, aside from eating and sleeping, he fusses for a book." As she said this, she gave the Three Character Classic to Lele.
