General, Madam Called You To Farm

Chapter 78 – Father-in-law and his son-in-law (2)

The last time when his uncle and aunt came to the house, he talked to his father the next day. After his father listened to what he said, his father didn’t say a word, and just silently went back to the house. 

He was not sure about his father’s attitude towards the Chen family.

“Let’s go.” Su Xiaoxiao said.

“Jie1, are you not angry?” Su Ergou quickly followed.

1Jie (姐) : Older sister.

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “Why should we be angry? If he said we are that kind of people, then does it mean we are really that kind of people? You are still young now. In the future, you will meet many such people. If you want to care for each and every one of them, you won’t be able to handle all. Unless he touches your cakes (dan gao)2, otherwise don’t waste your energy (nei hao).” 

2Touch your cakes: means touching your interests, taking away your money and rights, taking advantage of you. 

What did you mean? Something with ‘gao’? Something with ‘hao’?

Su Ergou scratched his head: “Jie, are you going to make a new snack? Is it Ergou’s cake?”

Su Xiaoxiao: “……”

Su Xiaoxiao ignored him, but Su Ergou continued to talk about the previous topic by himself: “Jie, when you fell in love at the first sight with He Tongsheng, I knew that it was because He Tongsheng was also a scholar. In fact… your heart still misses Da biaoge.”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “I don’t care about it anymore now. So how he thinks about me, I don’t care at all.” 

She only cared about money. Just wanted lots and lots and lots of money!

Su Ergou nodded earnestly: “That’s right too, after all you already have my brother-in-law now! And my brother-in-law is much more handsome than them!”

Even after being treated and labeled like that by Chen Haoyuan, there was no turmoil in Su Xiaoxiao’s heart. It was just when she heard Wei Ting’s name, she clenched her fists with a dark face!

How come it was that guy again? 

So angry!

Today, Wei Ting was dragged by Father Su to learn farming with Mrs. Qian again. 

The stitches on his wound were just removed, but he still couldn’t use too much force. So Father Su still does the main work. 

Looking at the vegetable field that was once again ruined, Mrs. Qian was so angry that she clenched her fists and trembled all over! 

Father Su resentfully touched his nose and said, “It was you who asked me to pick it…”

Mrs. Qian gritted her teeth: “Did you pick it? It was pulling!”

And he pulled out all the roots!

Father Su muttered, “You said it could be pulled out…”

“The green onions can be pulled out! But who asked you to pull out garlic sprouts too?”

-Green onions / Scallions 

-Garlic Sprouts. 

Mrs. Qian was so angry that her chest hurt! 

Oh dear God, please just let this guy blackmail her! Just don’t look for her to teach them how to farm! 

The money they blackmailed was only a few copper coins, but teaching them how to farm would bring disaster to half an acre of her land ah! 

“You! Come here!”

Mrs. Qian said to Wei Ting angrily.

Wei Ting sighed and limped over with his crutches.

There were more villagers watching today than yesterday, even people from the next village also came.

They came to see Bully Su farming the land, and also came to see the charming young man of Bully Su’s family. 

“Aunt Qian, drink some water first.” Wei Ting borrowed flowers to offer the Buddha3, he brought her a bowl of water from Mrs. Qian’s own basket. 

3Presenting the Buddha with borrowed flowers (idiom) : to win favor or influence using somebody else’s property. 

Mrs. Qian took the bowl and took a sip, and her heart felt a little much better. 

She pointed to several green plants on the ground and asked Wei Ting, “What are these? Do you still recognize them?”

“Green onions, garlic sprouts, garlic chives, spring onions, radishes, and coriander.” Wei Ting reported the names one by one from left to right.

-Garlic chives 

-Spring onions 

-Radishes 

-Coriander 

“En, that’s correct.” Mrs. Qian was very satisfied.

She glared at Su Cheng and said, “It’s still the young people who have brighter minds, just teach them once and they can learn it well! Unlike some people, who still can’t tell the difference between green onions and garlic sprouts even after they have been told a hundred times!” 

The Bully Su was making a fool of himself again!

The villagers really wanted to laugh so much!

Su Cheng’s eyes looked around at the green plants, then with a swish of lightning speed, he suddenly changed the positions of the several green plants.

He raised his eyebrows and looked at Wei Ting: “Now, do you still recognize them?”

Wei Ting: “……” 

Obviously they were such a good father-in-law and son-in-law, shouldn’t they help each other instead of fighting?
