General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming

“I can’t trust others, so I can only ask you. Also, this is a secret recipe passed down by my ancestors. Remember to keep it a secret for me.”

“Don’t worry, I will.”

Shen Chuan accepted the strange medicine.

“In return, these pancakes are for you.” Su Xiaoxiao took out 50 Wife Cakes wrapped in bamboo leaves from her basket.

“Th-there’s so much?” Shen Chuan was stunned. “I can’t finish it!”

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “If you can’t finish it, you can give them to your classmates to try. It’s necessary to build a good relationship with your classmates.”

Actually, it was meant to be given to the students of the academy to taste, but now that there was a good opportunity to present it as a favor, why not go with the flow?

In her previous life, she had always disliked her mother’s way of doing things as a businesswoman who was too tactful. However, when she went from being the eldest daughter of a wealthy family to a village girl who did not have enough to eat, she understood that being a person who did not bow down to others... required capital.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “The academy is too far away. I might not come to the academy to set up a stall in the future.”

“Ah...” Shen Chuan was disappointed.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “However, if anyone wants to eat it, you can reserve it in advance. As long as you reach ten, I’ll send it to you for free.”

“In addition, we’re considered friends. For your sake, I’ll only charge nine copper coins for anything that the academy has reserved.”

Wow, he didn’t have to go out and the pancakes would be delivered. It was even cheaper by one copper coin. Thinking about it, it was really worth it!

Shen Chuan agreed. “I’ll tell them now!”

“Don’t forget the Wife Cakes!” Su Xiaoxiao reminded him.

“Oh, right, right, right!” Shen Chuan returned with a smile. He picked up a large pile of biscuits and left.

Su Xiaoxiao went to the main entrance of the academy.

Seeing her come out, the servant who had stopped her was dumbfounded.

“Sister!”

Su Ergou jogged over. “Have you seen Shen Chuan?”

Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “Yes, I gave him the cakes.”

“Then we can go back,” said Su Ergou.

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head. “There’s no hurry. Let’s go somewhere first.”

The three-day appointment with the physician had arrived. She had to go to the physician’s house to get the silver needles and herbs.

“Do you know Spring Willow Lane?” she asked Su Ergou.

“I do. It’s not far from the market. From here to Spring Willow Lane, it’s about... three to four miles?” Su Ergou was not sensitive to numbers. He had estimated seven to eight miles himself.

In fact, they had walked more than six miles.

Su Xiaoxiao’s fat body was covered in sweat.

She had done enough exercise today...

Spring Willow Lane was an old alley. The limestone floor was cracked, and green moss grew in the cracks.

The two of them walked carefully and finally arrived at a door with a wooden sign with the surname Fu.

“Knock,” said Su Xiaoxiao.

“Aye!”

Su Ergou was happy to be ordered around by his fat sister. He raised his hand and knocked on the door.

“Is anyone there?”

He shouted.

After a while, the door was slowly pulled open from the inside.

“Who is it?”

An old voice asked impatiently.

“Eh?”

Su Xiaoxiao blinked and looked at her in surprise.

She also saw Su Xiaoxiao and her eyebrows twitched. “There’s no dried plum today!”

That’s right, the granny who opened the door for them was the old woman who sold dry goods at the market.

Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but sigh. The town was so small... She met two “acquaintances” in a day.

“Wait, how did you know about my house?” the old woman asked with a frown.

Su Xiaoxiao looked up at the door plate on the wall. It was definitely someone with the surname Fu.

“Excuse me, is Physician Fu here?” she asked.

The old woman snorted angrily. “Why are you looking for my son?”

“Mother! Is someone here to see me?”

Physician Fu quickly walked over with a medicine pestle. He had been pounding medicine in the backyard.

“Physician Fu.” Su Xiaoxiao greeted him.

“It’s Miss Su.” Fu Langzhong’s eyes flashed as he said to his mother, “Mother, it’s windy outside. Go in and rest. I’ll receive her.”

The old woman pointed at Su Xiaoxiao and said to her son, “If she asks you for treatment, you have to charge her double the consultation fee!”

Physician Fu and Su Xiaoxiao were speechless.

Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.

After the old woman entered the house, Physician Fu led Su Xiaoxiao to the side. “My mother doesn’t know that I spent money to buy golden sore medicine from you. Don’t let it slip. I’ve prepared the silver needles and herbs. Wait a moment, I’ll bring them to you immediately.”

While waiting for the medicine, Su Xiaoxiao took a look at the Fu family’s medicine cabinet. The medicine inside was not very expensive, but there were no inferior products. From this, it could be seen that Physician Fu had very strict control over the herbs. He would never fake it. It probably ran in the family. The dried plums that the old lady sold her were also of outstanding quality.

“Miss Su, sorry to keep you waiting.”

Fu Lang handed a bag to Su Xiaoxiao. “Check it.”

Su Xiaoxiao counted the herbs without missing a single one.

She paused and suddenly said, “I have a few prescriptions for difficult illnesses. Do you want to learn them?”

Physician Fu’s eyes sparkled as he thought of something. His expression was serious. “Do you still need me to buy golden sore medicine?”

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “No need. I’ll give them to you directly.”

Physician Fu had a bad feeling she had something up her sleeves. Soon, he understood that there was no free recipe in the world. There was a price for everything.

In Xinghua Village, in Old Li’s vegetable field, Madam Qian was teaching someone to farm.

The person he was teaching was none other than the Su family’s bully, Su Cheng.

Madam Qian expressed that she was definitely not short-handed.

She had sworn in her heart that she would never teach Fat Lass Su how to farm.

It was Su Cheng, not Fat Lass Su, who was to be taught. Technically, she had kept to her word.

“These are big green onions, these are small green onions, these are chives, and these are the garlic sprouts you usually eat. The leaves of the garlic sprouts are flat, and the big green onions are round.”

Su Cheng looked at the greenery with a dumbfounded expression.

What the hell? Weren’t they all green?

“Pick some spring onions for me,” Madam Qian said.

Su Cheng decisively scooped some chives.

Madam Qian was speechless.

The villagers who were watching the show on the field almost laughed out loud.

Su Cheng was a big bully in the village. He used to strut around, but when had he ever made such a fool of himself?

Su Cheng was extremely depressed, but he could not flare up. Since his fat daughter wanted him to learn, he had to learn well.

Of course, he had not come alone to embarrass himself. He had even dragged a scapegoat with him.

“Son-in-law, come!” he said to Wei Ting, who was sitting on the field.

Wei Ting pointed at his injured leg with his walking stick. “Father, it’s inconvenient with my leg.”

It was rare for Su Cheng to embarrass his son-in-law. “You don’t know how to, right?”

Wei Ting was speechless.

The price of calling him father was a little high.

More and more villagers gathered around. Some of them were here to see the pair make a fool of themselves, while others were purely here to admire Wei Ting’s looks.

There was no one else in the world who could be so handsome.

Someone in Old Su’s vegetable field also noticed Wei Ting.

“Mother, who is that person?”

Su Jinniang asked.

Madam Fang took a look and said to her daughter, “Little Su’s son-in-law!”

Su Jinniang lowered her eyes and whispered, “He’s... really good-looking.”
