Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm-Chapter 1604 - 1603: The Outcome is Good

Whoever is at a disadvantage, you side with them?

Qiao Xiaomai raised an eyebrow, "Are you saying you’re in a weak position now?"

Tong Sanlang was speechless, "I’m lying here in bed, unable to move. Am I not weak?"

"This doesn’t count as weakness. Psychological vulnerability is the real weakness."

"Then my lifeblood has always been in your hands, hasn’t it? I’ve always been at a disadvantage," Tong Sanlang replied.

Qiao Xiaomai rolled her eyes, "As if my lifeblood isn’t in your hands."

"But now your lifeblood is slipping away from my grasp," Tong Sanlang said with a bitter smile.

Hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai clicked her tongue, "Losing confidence?"

"There aren’t many people in the entire Daqi better than me, but I’m afraid you’ll suddenly take a fancy to someone out of the blue." fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

"Click, click. You’re saying no one in Daqi is better than you. Tong Sanlang, your tail is about to wag up to the heavens," Qiao Xiaomai couldn’t help but laugh.

"My thinking is already very close to the way people from your hometown think. Compared to me, any other man would be even worse." Tong Sanlang’s tone was filled with absolute conviction.

Qiao Xiaomai attributed this to the education he’d received. Honestly, there was some truth to this.

But this also indirectly proved that he was a sentimental and conscientious person.

Alright, he was genuinely anxious now.

He used to disdain self-praise, but now he was just a useless guy. If Qiao Xiaomai left, he wouldn’t even be able to chase after her. All he could do now was throw a few verbal hints her way.

He wasn’t perfect, but the local men were even less so.

"That, I believe," Qiao Xiaomai chuckled, though she quickly let out a sigh, "That retired emperor really... so what if he’s testing us?"

"Probably curious?" Tong Sanlang followed her lead, switching the topic as he speculated, "Earlier, when we handed in the method to make wool sweaters, he changed his stance and agreed to use war spoils to offset the debt. We really picked the perfect timing to submit that. He probably thought the descendants of Liuli were purposely hinting to him to treat us well."

Rumors swirled all over the Capital City, claiming that Qiao Xiaomai had a magical ’Cornucopia’ that let her make endless fortunes, perhaps even overthrow Daqi.

At this time, the descendants of Liuli suddenly showed up, bringing along an unconventional strategy.

Any reasonably intelligent person would assume that offering up the method was just a decoy and that the real intention was either a reminder or a warning—an implicit message to the Yang Family not to overlook this remarkable person.

That must be what Yang Wenxiao thought too. That’s why he immediately started treating both him and Qiao Xiaomai better.

But people are naturally curious, and Yang Wenxiao was certainly curious as to whether Qiao Xiaomai really did have a Cornucopia.

Hearing Tong Sanlang’s analysis, Qiao Xiaomai deflated and slumped her shoulders, "What damned Cornucopia!"

This damned nonsense—who the hell started this rumor?

So ruthless! So vicious!

"When we eventually catch the bastard behind this rumor, I swear I’ll make them regret ever being born!" she said through gritted teeth.

"Naturally. But for now, the result has worked in our favor. Life’s a bit easier for us, and we’ve even made more money," Tong Sanlang said with a laugh.

The June 6th promotional event had been a huge success. They sold out all the Watermelon Crayfish in one go and managed to push those wool sweaters too. It was too warm to wear wool sweaters now, but come winter, everyone would realize just how great they were.

They had also cleared out all the goat milk, cow milk, seashells, and nori. Especially the seashells—those things had already stopped selling in the Capital City, but this event managed to move a lot of them.

They had thought they were going to take a loss, but instead, they’d made even more profits. Thin margins but high volume—they finally understood the truth in that principle.
