Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm-Chapter 1631 - 1630: Changing the Route

Qiao Xiaomai is a favored figure by Yang Wenxiao. When her temper flares, she even dares to talk back to Yang Ye, so at this moment, no matter who comes from outside, she refuses to see them.

Relying on sweet potato balls, Sweet Potato Cake, and Monkey Brain Spicy Strips, she now earns hundreds of thousands of taels of silver daily, and millions each month. This is more than enough to maintain the expenses for the canal and the bluestone road, and she makes this money quietly and effortlessly.

Since the money she earns is enough, and she won’t slap her own face, she firmly insists on not selling.

This year, she absolutely won’t sell.

If they want it, they’ll have to come back next year.

Her words have some flexibility to them: next year, come back.

Next year—there are only two months until the New Year. If she sells on the first day of the New Year, that is still technically next year.

Qiao Xiaomai says she won’t meet anyone—who can do anything about her?

The people outside cannot force her.

But she firmly insists they should come back next year.

Next year is next year. Whether it’s New Year’s Day or June 6 next year, they simply can’t wait until June 6 of next year. New Year’s Day is a perfect time to sell, isn’t it?

Every day, different people come to Field Manor seeking to meet Qiao Xiaomai. Qiao Xiaomai herself doesn’t hold a high social status; many people in the Capital City outrank her in terms of status. However, for Floral Dew, quite a few of them have started using the word "please."

People of higher status than her saying "please"—Qiao Xiaomai accepts it without hesitation.

After all, she has Yang Wenxiao’s backing. As long as Yang Wenxiao doesn’t intervene, these people can’t do a thing to her.

However, even though those people can’t do anything to her, there’s someone who can.

One day, a pair of raggedly dressed grandparent and grandchild suddenly arrived at the gates of Field Manor. The elderly man’s face was covered with wrinkles resembling dry tree bark—marks left by time and life. His grandson, only seven years old, was ill. They had spent everything they owned to seek treatment for the boy.

The elderly man had heard about the miraculous Floral Dew, which could enhance a person’s physical condition, and thus came to seek Qiao Xiaomai.

He had no silver but was willing to work at Field Manor to repay the cost. He even offered to sell his grandson into servitude to pay the debt.

For the first time since transmigrating, Qiao Xiaomai encountered such a situation. After hearing the guard’s report, she ordered the guard to bring the pair in and simultaneously instructed her people to investigate their background.

This grandfather and grandson were originally residents of the Capital City. They had run a small restaurant and lived relatively comfortably. However, when the grandson fell ill, they spent all their savings on his treatment. Then, the son died in a work-related accident while the daughter-in-law, unable to endure such hardship, remarried. Eventually, only the grandfather and grandson remained in the household.

With one old and one young, the young boy couldn’t work and still needed medical care, while the elderly man struggled to make a living. Times were too hard; had it not been for Zhuang Lühe’s aid in the past, they wouldn’t have survived until now.

Over the past year, their survival had entirely depended on Zhuang Lühe’s charity.

After hearing their story, Qiao Xiaomai summoned an imperial physician to diagnose the boy.

The physician quickly provided an assessment: the boy’s previous illness had left lingering symptoms. His vitality and blood flow were severely weakened, and he would need regular medication to recover. However, the necessary medicinal materials were rare and expensive, beyond the grandfather and grandson’s means.

The medicine was expensive, and they couldn’t afford it.

The elderly man hoped to use Floral Dew to improve the boy’s constitution all at once and eliminate the residual symptoms.

Qiao Xiaomai thought it over and nodded in agreement.

For the sake of the Divine Liquid, she had to do good deeds, and this was a perfect opportunity.
