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

Chapter 3: Make the best of a bad situation and stay

Thinking of this, Ye Ze couldn't help but look at Zhao Li with a hint of pity in his eyes. This silly girl probably doesn't know that she is being plotted against yet.

"So what are you going to do in the future?" Ye Ze stared at her and asked.

Zhao Li pursed her lips, as if she had made a great decision, and said firmly: "My cousin likes scholars, she should be satisfied with Shen Wenren, and I am already married, so naturally I can't go back to my parents' home... You... you have married me, you won't want me anymore, right?"

She thought about it for most of the night last night, and in the end, she came to the conclusion that her only option was to just go with the flow and stay in the Ye family. What else could she do?

Ye Ze: You've been pushed into the fire pit, and you still care about whether others are satisfied or not? What a silly girl.

It was obvious that what Zhao Li said was from the heart. Her eyes were clear, and one could see through her thoughts at a glance.

Ye Ze asked casually: "Are you willing to be my wife?"

Zhao Li nodded seriously: "I do."

Ye Ze raised his eyebrows, grinned, and continued: "I am not a good person. You may have to suffer a lot as my wife. You have to give birth to sons for me, a bunch of sons. You have to take care of the children, do the laundry, cook, and work in the fields. You can work in the living room and in the kitchen. Can you do it?"

Ye Ze's attitude was a perfect imitation of the original owner's ruffian behavior when he was flirting with young girls and wives.

Zhao Li: If my cousin had married into the family, would she have lived a similar life? My cousin is weak, how could she have endured it? Fortunately, it was not her who married into the family.

"I can work, I'm very strong!" Zhao Li pouted angrily. Humph, who are you looking down on? !

In Ye Ze's eyes, isn't this just a simple, stubborn, and unyielding little girl next door? Not to mention, she's pretty cute.

Ye Ze's favorability towards Zhao Li increased sharply, and he suddenly wanted to tease her. He reached out and covered the back of his head with his hands, with a painful expression: "Ouch, why does my head hurt so much...hiss, it hurts so much, oh, it hurts so much..."

"Are you okay?" Zhao Li was anxious: "Does it hurt a lot? Let me show you..." Zhao Li just took a few steps forward and stopped abruptly. She was smiling just now, how come she was in so much pain suddenly?

Zhao Li thought for a moment and said, "I'll go call your mother over."

Ye Ze: “…”

Then Zhao Li knocked on the wooden door of the room: "Aunt Ye, Aunt Ye...Ye Ze is awake..."

While Zhao Li knocked on the door, she did not forget to look back at Ye Ze, who was almost unable to pretend. She felt amused. Why did she feel that he was different from what was said outside? He seemed not as scary as she had imagined, and even a little cute...

"Is the third brother awake?"

Ye Lao Er, who had gotten up early and was busy in the courtyard, heard the noise in his third brother's room and hurried to knock on his mother's door: "Mom, mom, my third brother is awake."

"Ze'er is awake?" Old Mrs. Ye was startled. She didn't even have time to get rid of her temper. She got dressed and got out of bed. She ran to the door of her third son's room in her slippers.

Unlocking the door, pushing it open, and entering the room, the old lady went straight to Ye Ze's bedside. Her movements were more agile than usual: "Son, come and let me see if you are feeling better..."

Then, Ye Ze saw the old lady whom he thought was a ghost last night rushing towards him.

This must be the original owner's mother. The youngest son and the eldest grandson are the lifeblood of the old lady. Especially since the youngest son is the old lady's late-born son, who was once highly expected and had attended school for several years, the old lady favors him even more.

Old Mrs. Ye looked at Ye Ze's head for a long time. Why did she feel that the bump on her son's head was much smaller than last night?

"Ze'er, does your head still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore, mom. I feel much better." Facing the original owner's mother, Ye Ze became serious and answered truthfully.

Zhao Li followed the old lady and looked at him with her neck stretched out, her eyes seemed to say: See, I knew you were pretending! Fortunately, I didn't fall for it.

"Oh, you scared me to death. I'm glad you're okay. I'm glad you're okay," Old Lady Ye patted Ye Ze's hand and finally felt relieved. Then, she turned her head and looked at Zhao Li with a bad face and scolded, "Why don't you go and make something good for your man to nourish him? You don't even feel sorry for your own man. What's the point of my son marrying you?"

"I'll go right away." Zhao Li lowered her head and turned to go out.

"You can't spoil this woman. Brother Ze, listen to me. I will make your wife obedient to you!" Old Mrs. Ye said confidently, "Look at your eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law. Who dares not to listen to me? Humph, a wife is married to serve a man. Can't you treat her well?"

The old lady was very proud and talked to Ye Ze about how to discipline her wife. She didn't want to see her son spoil his wife, especially since Zhao Li had injured her son as soon as he came home yesterday.

Although Ye Ze was speechless, she also knew that this era was indeed very harsh on women. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Even if she was a time traveler, she was just an ordinary person. She couldn't change anything, she just lived in a different social environment.

At this moment, Ye Ze couldn't help but feel secretly glad in his heart that she was reincarnated as a man. If she was reincarnated as Zhao Li, she would have a hard time in the future. Even if a divorce could get rid of the Ye family, she would be drowned in the spit of the villagers. The result would be that she could not return to her parents' home and would be homeless. No matter which choice she made, the woman would suffer.

......

In the kitchen, Ye Lao Da's wife Lin was busy preparing breakfast. Her eldest daughter Xiaomai was sitting by the stove helping to add firewood to the fire, and her second daughter Xiaocao was feeding the pigs and chickens in the backyard.

There are only two daughters in the Ye family. One can imagine Lin's status in the Ye family. She herself is a person who doesn't like to care about things and is used to being submissive. Almost all the big and small chores in the house are done by the three of them.

Old Mrs. Ye has three sons and one daughter. The daughter is the third child in the family. She married and moved to Qingshui Village two years ago. In the second year of her marriage, she gave birth to a daughter. Except for the New Year holidays, she rarely comes back.

Ye Laoer married Chen, who was the exact opposite of Lin. Chen gave birth to two sons right after she got married. Old Mrs. Ye liked her grandsons very much, so she turned a blind eye to Chen's laziness and everyone got used to it over time.

Zhao Li is also a diligent person at home. She always has work to do and helps pick vegetables as soon as she enters the kitchen.

Xiaomai timidly called out to her, "Third Aunt."

Hearing this, Lin followed her daughter's gaze and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "Ah, you just got married yesterday, what are you doing in the kitchen? I'm here, go back to your room."
