The Valiant Farmgirl's Blackhearted Husband Wants a Hug

Chapter 35



Chapter 35: Gruff Yet Tender Song Que

Hmph! So what if it was a conspiracy?

The opinion in his heart would never waver.

...

After he had healed his leg, he would have plenty of opportunities to deal with her.

As he thought of this, Song Que’s heart finally settled down.

He picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

“Big Brother, you will have to change the dressing and take your medicine after eating.”

“Mother and I have already brewed the medicine for you. If you want to change the dressing, we have to get Sister-in-law to do it,” Song Yun said.

Then, she looked at Song Que worriedly.

“When that time comes, don’t lose your temper at Sister-in-law,” she said beseechingly.

Song Que’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately glared at Song Yun.

“Sister-in-law was wrong before, but she has changed. She is also thinking about the family.”

“Mother and I have already discussed this. In the future, we will work together with Sister-in-law and work together to support this family.” As Song Yun spoke, she sat down beside Song Que like a little adult.

“Big Brother, don’t worry. With us around, your leg will definitely recover little by little.”

Song Que was at a complete loss for words.

He had never thought that his own sister would be brainwashed by that woman to this extent.

“Alright, Big Brother, finish your food quickly. I’ll come back to clean up later.” The little girl was immersed in her own thoughts and didn’t notice her big brother’s reaction at all.

After saying that, she left.

Song Que held the bowl in his hand as a sense of panic rose in his heart inexplicably.

That woman had become even more powerful…

Song Yun went back to the kitchen and the whole family started to eat lunch.

There was enough food, and the family ate very happily.

“When the lard is fried in the afternoon, Mother, you can stir-fry some Chinese yam for dinner. Also, the vegetables I bought can be fried with lard too. By the way, put some oil dregs in it and fry it together. It will taste better.” Qin Xiaoyao said to Madam Liu as she ate.

When the two little ones heard this, they turned to look at their mother.

Ever since their sister-in-law came back from town and told their mother to fry the lard in the afternoon, they had been craving it.

Now, after hearing their sister-in-law telling their mother to use lard to stir-fry vegetables, the two little ones were filled with even more anticipation.

Madam Liu smiled.

“Forget about the Chinese yam. They’re precious. I’ll just stir-fry the vegetables you bought.” With that, Madam Liu looked at the pile of Chinese yams in the corner, her eyes full of satisfaction.

Her daughter-in-law was really very capable.

This yam was five copper coins per catty, so it could be sold for a lot of money.

After thinking for a while, Madam Liu said, “Actually, you don’t need to buy these vegetables. In this season, there were lots of wild vegetables in the mountains. When we go up the mountain to collect firewood, we can dig some back. Then we’ll have vegetables to eat at home.”

Qin Xiaoyao smile with amusement.

“Mother, this is not the way to live frugally.”

“Chinese yam may be expensive, but it’s good for the body. It’s our own food, and it doesn’t cost much to cook it for our own consumption.”

“If we really buy it outside, even at five copper coins per catty, it would be difficult to buy it.”

“As for the vegetables I bought, how could the wild vegetables dug up in the mountains be compared to the vegetables carefully grown by the farmers? Notwithstanding other things, just in terms of taste, can wild vegetables taste better than the vegetables that the farmers grow themselves?”

Most of the wild vegetables were bitter and astringent. If it wasn’t for the fact that there was not enough food at home, who would go into the mountains often to dig for wild vegetables to eat?

“Well…” Though Madam Liu felt that her daughter-in-law’s words made sense, she also felt that something was not right.

“Just do as I say,” Qin Xiaoyao said with a laugh.

“Save some time. You and Yun’er can then make more straw sandals. Then we’ll have enough for our family to buy vegetables.”

As soon as she said this, Madam Liu was immediately convinced.

She was right. A pair of straw sandals could sell for three copper coins. The cheap vegetables in the market were only one copper coin per catty.

“Alright! Then, I’ll use oil dregs to stir-fry the Chinese yam and the vegetables you bought at night.” Madam Liu replied in the affirmative.

Qin Xiaoyao and the two little ones immediately beamed with joy.

After the meal, Qin Xiaoyao didn’t bother with the kitchen chores. She sent the medicine to Song Que and helped him change his dressing.

She was originally quite a straightforward and open person, but for some reason, when she walked into Song Que’s room, she felt a sense of restraint and was not as open as before.

“Drink your medicine first. I’ll get ready and change your dressing.” Qin Xiaoyao didn’t dare to address Song Que as ‘Husband’ when she saw Song Que’s unfriendly eyes glaring at her.

Although Song Que was feeling resentful towards Qin Xiaoyao, he had no reason to make things difficult for his own body.

He picked up the bowl of medicine and drank the black liquid.

Just as he felt a bitter taste in his mouth and was about to puke, Qin Xiaoyao handed him a pancake sprinkled with sugar.

He raised his head and glanced at Qin Xiaoyao. Song Que didn’t want to take it, but he couldn’t suppress the reaction in his throat. He quickly reached out to take it and stuffed it into his mouth.

The sweetness of the pancake suppressed the bitterness of the medicine, and Song Que felt more comfortable.

Looking at Song Que acting hostile externally but cooperating internally, Qin Xiaoyao’s heart felt carefree and relieved.

When she saw her attractive husband looking at her with displeasure again, Qin Xiaoyao quickly retracted her gaze.

“Ahem. Stretch out your legs,” she said.

Song Que looked at Qin Xiaoyao in annoyance but still did as he was told.

Only then did Qin Xiaoyao untie the cloth strips around Song Que’s wound, followed by the cotton cloth.

Her movements were gentle but orderly.

Song Que was a little surprised, and the resentment in his heart was reduced quite a fair bit.

Could this woman have studied medicine before?

While he was still feeling confused, Qin Xiaoyao had already changed the dressing for Song Que and wrapped his wound up again.

“The medicine for external application needs to be changed every two days. The next change will be the day after tomorrow. By then, the wound should have recovered much more, and it won’t hurt so much anymore.” Qin Xiaoyao said as she helped Song Que bandage his wound.

The post-apocalyptic world was full of danger, and it was common for her and her team members to get injured.

Hence, bandaging wounds was really nothing to her.

To her surprise, her attractive husband could really endure the pain.

She had pulled on his wound several times just now, but he actually held back and did not scream in pain.

Hah! Her husband was strong indeed.

“Hmm.” Song Que mumbled a reply, but he didn’t glare at Qin Xiaoyao anymore.

“Alright, just take care of your health.” After bandaging his wound, Qin Xiaoyao stood up.

“I’ll take my leave now.”

After that, ignoring Song Que, she packed up her things and left.

Song Que looked at Qin Xiaoyao’s back in disbelief and wanted to reach out to stop her.

In the end, he still held back the desire to stretch out his hand.

“Fine, just go. It’s best if you don’t come back after leaving…” he thought.

Qin Xiaoyao only felt her nervousness vanish after she left Song Que’s room.

Then, she took a deep breath and went to the stream to wash the wooden bucket that Song Que had used.

After finishing all her tasks, she then left the house with the hoe, the shoulder pole, and the hemp rope.

When she reached the back of the mountain, she saw that Liu Daniu and Big Girl Li weren’t there yet. She didn’t wait for them and went straight to the Chinese yam field.

In the end, she found the two of them already busy working in the field.

“You’re back so early?” Qin Xiaoyao couldn’t help but smile as she greeted the two of them.

She had not misjudged them. This couple was honest people.

“Sister Sanya!” Big Girl Li was the first to turn around and call out to Qin Xiaoyao sweetly.

“Mrs. Song.” Liu Daniu followed suit.

“We started eating the moment we returned from your house. After lunch, we had nothing to do anyway, so we came out earlier,” Big Girl Li explained.
