Chapter 178 is intriguing
"So you are Qingming!" Madam Liang exclaimed in realization.
Qi Jingyue and Ye Yuwu were puzzled by the intriguing expression on Madam Liang's face.
But Qi Jingyue did not forget the role he was playing at this moment, so he pinched his throat as usual and bowed to Madam Liang and General Liang in a hoarse and broken voice.
Hearing his hoarse voice, Ye Yuwu understood that he did not want to reveal his identity, so she took the initiative to explain to Madam Liang, "Madam, Qingming's voice is not good, so please forgive him."
Madam Liang said "It's nothing" and then smiled as she told Qingming to get up, her gaze shifting between the two of them.
After a moment of silence, Madam Liang asked, "Are you two alright?"
Ye Yuwu, Qi Jingyue: ?
Although puzzled, I still answered, "It's alright."
I don't know why Madam Liang said that.
As soon as Liang Suxin saw her mother's expression, she knew what her mother was thinking. She instantly regretted talking to her mother about the bookstore after she got home, and now she had brought it right to the mother's face.
"Mother, please don't ask!" she whispered to Madam Liang.
Madam Liang didn't take it seriously. Having finally seen the two people that Xin'er kept talking about, how could she let this opportunity pass? So she continued to say to them, "I heard from Xin'er that you two have been arguing lately?"
Liang Suxin felt a little awkward and carefully observed Ye Yuwu and Qingming's expressions. Qingming's expression was obscured by her veil, but Manager Ye did not show any discomfort.
Liang Suxin regretted telling her mother about their affair and wanted to slap herself twice as a warning to others!
"Mrs. Liang, we didn't have a fight."
Upon hearing this, Qingming, who was hidden in the veil, couldn't help but turn her head to look at her.
There was no argument, she just kept avoiding him!
We had a good talk in the storeroom last time, but then he was called away by his father.
She hadn't been to the bookstore for over a month, and she had become much more distant from him. He felt annoyed, but there was nothing he could do.
Mrs. Liang observed their interaction and guessed that they might still be arguing.
"That's good. But it's normal for two people to bicker and fight from time to time. My husband and I often argue over small things, but he always calms me down as soon as he coaxes me."
Liang Suxin sighed, "Mom, you're practically implying this outright! You're being so blunt. Shopkeeper Ye and Qingming will be embarrassed by now. If you're going to say it, why did you have to use her father as an example?"
Madam Liang was spoiled by General Liang to the point of having such a temperament. After saying this, she looked at Ye Yuwu and Qingming with great affection and said, "You two must take good care of yourselves." To stay together happily.
Liang Suxin was really afraid that she would blurt out the next sentence.
Madam Liang felt even more sorry for the two women, realizing how difficult their lives had been.
Ye Yuwu didn't understand why General Liang and his wife had suddenly been brought up, but she still said it was fine.
"I won't disturb you two any longer, go and choose some corn!"
After saying that, Qingming and Ye Yuwu went to the field to pick corn.
Liang Suxin, who was not far away, looked at her mother with annoyance.
"Mom, why are you saying that! Didn't I tell you not to say these things so casually?"
"Mother couldn't help it! Two women defied societal norms and finally got together. They quarreled, so of course I, as an elder, had to mediate. They've had such a difficult time!" As she spoke, Madam Liang couldn't help but sigh and shake her head for them.
"They're trying so hard to hide their feelings because they're afraid we'll find out and look at them differently. We've been trying so hard to pretend we don't know anything, but with your obvious reminder today, how could they not understand?!"
Liang Suxin left in a huff.
General Liang walked over at this moment. "What's wrong with her now?"
"It was my fault for being so talkative."
After saying this, Madam Liang suddenly looked up and gazed at Manager Ye and Qingming not far away.
General Liang also looked in the direction she was looking.
Then they saw Ye Yuwu, who was standing on the thatched ridge, lose her footing and was about to fall when Qingming caught her.
Mrs. Liang: !
Got it!
General Liang: ?
There's something off about these two women.
"What's going on with those two?"
"You're just a roughneck, how would you know any of this?" General Liang, who had been subtly mocked by his wife, was speechless.
"Huh?" General Liang asked at this moment, "Why does the woman wearing the veil look so familiar?"
"It must be your imagination. How many times have your eyesight been blurry?"
General Liang: ?
What's wrong? Madam seems very irritable today!
After they finished picking the fruit, they didn't leave immediately. Instead, they stayed at the estate and had another meal prepared by the estate's cook.
General Liang then asked Ye Yuwu if he could sell him some corn seeds.
Ye Yuwu didn't mince words, only saying that she would only be able to peel the seeds after she had finished picking and drying the corn berries in a while.
If General Liang is unwilling to wait, he can take some of the corn harvested today, dry it, and then plant it.
General Liang was enlightened, "So this is how corn can be grown."
"Manager Ye mentioned earlier that corn has a high yield. May I ask how much grain one acre of corn can produce?"
Ye Yuwu pondered for a moment, "It can probably produce 2.5 shi of grain?"
General Liang: !
He only just discovered how wonderful this was!
"Manager Ye, how many corn kernels do you have left?"
"?"
"I want them all!"
Qi Jingyue, who was also eavesdropping, said: General Liang, you have quite the appetite!
Not understanding why General Liang was suddenly so agitated, Ye Yuwu carefully considered how to refuse him, "I'm really sorry, General Liang, I don't have many corn kernels left. I plan to use the remaining half for seed, so I really can't sell them to you."
Hearing Ye Yuwu's words, General Liang instantly calmed down. "How about this, you can sell me some of your next batch of corn later?"
That's good, so Ye Yuwu nodded.
The two made the agreement, and General Liang was secretly pleased, feeling that the trip had been worthwhile.
After finishing his meal, General Liang bought some more peppers to take home.
Then he took his wife and daughter back to the general's mansion.
This trip can be considered a fruitful one!
Not long after, Ye Yuwu sent people to build a greenhouse in the Liang residence.
General Liang had originally told Ye Yuwu that he wanted to build a greenhouse in the manor, but later changed his mind for some reason.
He specially set aside a large open space in his general's mansion to build a greenhouse.
The greenhouse has been built, and many out-of-season vegetables and fruits are being grown inside.
The gardener in the manor had never seen anything so magical before. He didn't believe that vegetables could be grown in this greenhouse, but when he planted soybeans, they sprouted in just a few days.
Many plants had already taken root and sprouted, and only then did he believe that this greenhouse could grow a lot of vegetables.
Therefore, the gardeners took extra care in tending to these vegetables.
