I am a woman, I am a man, I want to marry a wife so that I can farm

Alas, is there any way to make this old lady stop setting rules for her own wife?

Get pregnant with a son soon.

As soon as this idea came up, Ye Ze immediately rejected it, fearing that it would not be possible to realize it within three years.

Is there any other solution?

Just as Ye Ze was lying on his bed, thinking about all sorts of things in his head, Zhao Li pushed the door open and walked in with a basin of foot washing water.

Ye Ze turned over and sat up, and asked casually: "Are you full?"

Zhao Li's body stiffened: "Yeah."

He turned around and closed the door, then walked to the bedside, put the basin on the ground, lowered his head and said, "Let me wash your feet."

Let your wife wash your feet? "...There's no need for that..."

Ye Ze stood up and pushed Zhao Li to sit on the bed: "You wash first, my feet are dirty, I will wash them after you finish."

"No, this won't work..." Zhao Li looked up at him in astonishment. How could this work? How could a man use the leftover foot washing water from a woman?

"What's wrong with that? Or do you want me to help you wash?" Ye Ze looked at her with a smirk on his face, rolling up his sleeves as he spoke, as if he would help you wash if you don't want to.

"No, I can do it myself. You, turn around and don't peek." Zhao Li immediately compromised when she saw this, and shyly asked Ye Ze to turn around and not look at her.

Ye Ze cooperated and did as he was told. He turned around and sat at the square table in the middle of the room with his back to Zhao Li. He knew that women of this era were very conservative and a woman's feet were like chastity and should not be shown to others casually.

Even though they are married, haven't they slept together yet?

Ye Ze was lying on the table with his chin supported by his hand, waiting bored. He felt that Zhao Li was not the kind of person who would just accept things as they came. Sometimes, although she looked weak on the surface, what she said was very firm, just like when she asked him to turn around and not to peek just now.

There was a slight sound of water behind him. After a while, Zhao Li said, "I'm ready. You can wash it."

"it is good."

When Ye Ze turned around, Zhao Li had already put on her shoes and socks. He walked over and sat where Zhao Li had just sat, then took off his shoes and washed his feet.

Zhao Li hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Do you want my help?"

Ye Ze grinned: "Do you really want to help me, or are you just asking casually?"

Zhao Li: “…”

Ye Ze continued, "Just be yourself. I don't want you to be so tired when you're alone with me. We still have a long time to live together. If you force yourself to do things you don't want to do every day, you'll be tired, and so will I."

Listening to Ye Ze's words, Zhao Li couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise: "But, mother..."

Ye Ze: "Have you ever heard of the term lip service?"

Zhao Li shook her head, her clear eyes full of confusion, not understanding what Ye Ze wanted to say to her.

Later, after Ye Ze's patient explanation, Zhao Li felt that her previous worldview was about to collapse. Before she got married, her mother told her that she must listen to her mother-in-law, serve her husband well, and give birth to a son as soon as possible so that she could stand up straight in her husband's family.

How come when it came to Ye Ze's mouth it became: Be yourself, listen to your mother's words if they make sense, and ignore them if they don't, but you can't refute her to her face, remain respectful and filial on the surface, and learn to make the old lady happy. If she is happy, your life will be better, so why not do it?

You don't have to act in front of your man. Just say whatever you want to say. Otherwise, the couple will have to guess each other all the time, which is too tiring.

It was not until Ye Ze finished washing his feet, poured out the water and returned to the bed that Zhao Li came to her senses. She seemed to understand what Ye Ze said. Just like he was mean to her in front of his mother-in-law, he was still very nice when they were alone.

"Have you thought it through?" Ye Ze asked with a raised eyebrow.

Zhao Li nodded heavily, looking serious: "Yes."

"Haha." Ye Ze took out the gift he bought for Zhao Li and handed it to her: "It's for you, do you like it?"

"What is it?" Zhao Li took the thing doubtfully, and opened it under Ye Ze's expectant gaze. The moment she saw the gift, Zhao Li was so shocked that she covered her mouth for a moment: "This..."

Ye Ze smiled gently and asked, "Do you like it? How about wearing it when you return home tomorrow?"

After the initial surprise, Zhao Li gradually regained her sanity: "Is it too expensive? What if my mother saw it..."

Ye Ze: "What are you afraid of? When the time comes, I will say that this is a treasure your mother gave you. My mother will only pay more attention to you and won't say anything."

Zhao Li: “…” You really did implement the four words “pretend to obey but secretly disobey” to the fullest extent!

Seeing that Zhao Li was still a little hesitant, Ye Ze comforted her: "Don't worry, I, your husband, will give you more and better things in the future. What's mine is yours. I'll put it on for you to try?"

Zhao Li bit her lower lip lightly, but still nodded: "Yeah."

It is true that Zhao Youliang and his wife love their daughter, but their Zhao family has not split up, and most of the money Zhao Youliang earns has to be given to Old Lady Zhao. Even her and Zhao Tao's dowry is decided by Old Lady Zhao, so Zhao Li has never had any beautiful headdress since she was a child.

Facts have proved that no matter what era, there is no girl who doesn’t like jewelry, not to mention that this hairpin is so beautiful and it matches her name very well. Her name is Zhao Li, and the hairpin is in the shape of a pear blossom. Even the pendant below is small and chic.

The hairpin was inserted diagonally in Zhao Li's hair, and the pendant swayed with her movements, which was simply beautiful.

"She has a charming smile and beautiful eyes." After a little makeup, Zhao Li looks even better than she did in her previous life with beauty filters. It seems that as a woman, I can marry such a beautiful wife. There's nothing wrong with being a man!

Zhao Li's pretty face blushed at his straight gaze: "I, I'll go make the bed." After saying that, she quickly avoided Ye Ze's sight.

Ye Ze shook his head and laughed, then he took out the new quilt from the box Zhao Li brought and put it on the bed, saying, "You can use the new one."

There was only the set of bedding that Ye Ze had always used on the bed. Ye Ze always felt uncomfortable sleeping with the same quilt.

Zhao Li: "...Yeah."

After making the bed, the two of them slept in their own quilts. Zhao Li waited for a long time but there was no movement from Ye Ze. She couldn't help but prop herself up and look at him, then slowly lay back down.

Ye Ze was actually not asleep either. He felt the movement beside him and asked, "What's wrong? Can't sleep?"

"No, it's not." Zhao Li's heart was beating fast, and she felt guilty as if she had been caught doing something bad.

Ye Ze couldn't sleep either, so he asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"No, I didn't think about anything." Zhao Li stuttered. How could she tell him what she was thinking? It was too embarrassing. Zhao Li pulled the quilt over her head.
