Chapter 46

She stole a glance at Jiang Li, seeing him lowering his head to drink soup as if he hadn't heard, and his ear tips were suspiciously red, so she cleared her throat and carried the stubbornness to the end.

"What Brother Wang said is the general situation. Mine is not general, it's like... it's a genius! The kind that won't grow crooked even without education. So listen to me, just water it, don't worry about anything else."

Wang Bujiu wanted to say more, but Jiang Li stopped him: "Alright, Brother Wang, listen to my wife."

Du Ruo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, her husband wasn't as noisy as Wang Bujiu, otherwise, with her clumsy bluffing technique, she would have been exposed sooner or later.

Worried that the big oaf would continue to chatter, Du Ruo hurriedly packed up the bowls and chopsticks, used the excuse that there was still work at home, and ran away.

Watching that fleeing back, Wang Bujiu really couldn't hold it: "I say, brother, your wife is really good at cooking, but she's really bad at farming! Look at this land, it's all sand. Not to mention such precious medicinal herbs as Ghost Supervisor, even if you moved that big locust tree in front of your door, it wouldn't live! And saying just water it and it's done—Sister-in-law must have never farmed in her maiden home, otherwise how could she say such things?"

"Sigh, spending silver to buy these few pieces of broken land, don't you think she's stupid..."

Jiang Li didn't pay attention to him and dug the pit himself.

Wang Bujiu couldn't hold back and kept pestering him all the way: "Jiang, are you listening to me?"

Jiang Li: "No."

Wang Bujiu: "... You just pretend to be stupid with me. Yes, I said that beautiful scenery is not as good as delicious food you can eat, but you can't waste money like this. It's better to renovate your broken courtyard."

Jiang Li stopped his movements and smiled: "Brother Wang, that money was earned by my wife herself, she can waste it however she wants, as long as she's happy. As for renovating the courtyard, that's what I, as a man, should do, how can I spend my wife's money so righteously?"

This, Wang Bujiu was speechless.

That's what he said, but if Du Ruo spent the silver on the blade, he wouldn't say anything. But it was clear that she was throwing silver into the water without even hearing a sound. Isn't this just burning money because she has too much?

"I think you are just failing to establish your authority as a husband! Just wait and see, if you don't manage her, your wife might buy the whole mountain behind this in the future, do you believe it?"

Jiang Li smiled: "As long as she's happy."

Wang Bujiu: "..."

Fine, the emperor is not anxious, the eunuch is anxious.

He was too lazy to talk too much and be annoying, so he resigned himself to picking up the shovel and digging the pit, sighing as he dug.

When the sun rose to the treetops, all the seeds were finally buried. They were lucky; there was a small pond not far away, filled with spring water flowing down from the mountain, just right for watering the land.

Du Ruo felt great in her heart.

Farmer, mountain spring—I don't know if the Ghost Supervisor grown will be a little sweet?

To reward them, Du Ruo made a table full of dishes, meat and vegetables, wine and meat, with color, fragrance, and taste.

Seeing the delicious food, Wang Bujiu didn't remember the previous complaints at all, praising Du Ruo until she was the best in the world, almost wanting to worship her.

After the meal, Wang Bujiu went to play with the dog for a while, then fed the horse and prepared to set off.

Du Ruo came out of the kitchen and saw Jiang Li at a glance.

Jiang Li had already changed into the soap-colored constable uniform, wearing soap boots, with a horizontal sword at his waist, looking more majestic in his handsomeness, looking even more elegant.

Du Ruo couldn't help but look a few more times.

It had to be said that this person was truly handsome.

Jiang Li stood in front of her, pursing his lips: "Wife, I'm leaving."

Du Ruo said "oh": "Have a safe trip."

Although the two were husband and wife, they had only been together for a few short days, and it was impossible to be as affectionate and reluctant to part as other young couples.

Du Ruo couldn't say those mushy words.

Jiang Li warned: "If you feel tired, just leave the housework to the third brother. He's a man, it's only right to suffer a little, don't worry about him not being able to take it."

Du Ruo: "... Oh."

"Wan'er's body is weak, she needs to take medicine on time, it will be hard for you, wife."

"Okay, don't worry."

Jiang Li looked down at her, suddenly pulled her hand, and stuffed a bag of silver into her hand: "You'll be in charge of the house from now on, there will be various expenses, keep this money."

This was the silver split from selling the wolf corpses. Later, two taels were spent on Jiang Wan's medicine, and three taels remained.

Du Ruo instinctively pushed it out, suddenly thought of something, and took it: "Okay, I'll save it first."

They say men go bad when they have money. To prevent this possibility, let Jiang Li be a little tight on money.

Jiang Li wanted to say something else, but Wang Bujiu's loud voice urged from over there: "Alright, Jiang, it's getting late, time to move!"

It's not like they're going for a year or a half, and they can come back from time to time, why be so sticky?

Seeing that they were about to leave, Du Ruo bit her lip and still nagged: "Be careful when you're on duty outside. The errand is important, but people are more important. If you encounter a fierce one, weigh it yourself. If you can beat them, fight; if you can't, run. Don't be brave..."

Jiang Li's face became very colorful.

Wang Bujiu laughed loudly, winking and teasing: "I say, Sister-in-law, just put your heart in your stomach, Jiang is very powerful, you won't become a widow!"

Du Ruo glared at him. Crow's mouth, don't speak if you don't know how to speak.

Seeing her angry, the corner of Jiang Li's mouth couldn't help but hook into a warm arc: "Okay, listen to my wife, I'll definitely run if I can't beat them."

When he stepped onto the carriage, Wang Bujiu swung the whip in the air, and the carriage trotted away, soon disappearing without a trace.

Du Ruo stood at the door for a while, then closed the courtyard door and sat in the room in a daze.

I don't know why, but my heart felt empty, and it seemed a little sweet.

"Yo, someone is in spring (in love) now." The system sounded sarcastically in her mind.

Du Ruo was very annoyed: "In your head, Jiang Li is my husband, even if I'm really in love, it's legal love, do you have an opinion?"

System: "... You are really the most shameless host I've ever seen."

Du Ruo "hehe": "Thanks for the compliment."

She pulled herself out of the chaotic emotions of Jiang Li's departure: "Tell me, is there a new task to be released?"

It wouldn't be that it suddenly opened its mouth just to mock her, right?

The system shook its head: "There is no task, but just now when you were being sticky with Jiang Li, this system was bored, so it randomly checked his body, and the result..."

It stopped talking, as if it didn't know how to speak.

Du Ruo's heart skipped a beat: "Could it be that he can't do it (impotent)?"

System: "..."

You think too much, big sister. That aspect of him is very good, even three hundred rounds a night is not a problem.

So powerful, Du Ruo cleared her throat: "That's good."

But soon she became nervous again: "It's not this, could it be that he has some incurable disease?"

System speechless: "Can't you think in a good direction? Either incompetent or terminal illness, do you have such a wife?"

Du Ruo didn't want to, this is worry, but listening to the system, it doesn't seem like a bad thing, so she calmed down.

"Then tell me quickly, are you an orphan if you worry me to death?"
