Farming and reading family

Gao E was shocked again when she heard Tao Meiyu's words.

I used to always hear people say that others had bound feet, but you had bound brains.

For the first time, I realized that people who bound their feet also bound their brains.

"Since Madam He thinks so, why bother about the relationship between husband and wife?" Gao E simply sat down again. "You are already husband and wife, legitimately speaking. You will share the same pillow in life and the same grave in death. What else is there to be dissatisfied with?"

When Tao Meiyu heard Gao E say this, she looked at her blankly.

"Since you care so much about superficiality, why do you care whether he has another woman in his heart?" Gao E chuckled. "Mrs. He is so concerned about self-cultivation, which I think is just awkward."

Tao Meiyu was not angry when she heard Gao E say this, but just looked at her with some dissatisfaction.

Gao E did not flinch when she met Tao Meiyu's gaze.

Gao Meiyu watched for a while and the dissatisfaction in her eyes gradually faded away, and she realized that she was defeated.

After all, she was brought up not to show her dislike on the surface.

Gao E thought about it and realized that it was true. How could she change the upbringing she had given him since childhood with just a few words?

It's just that such a rigid person came to my door, so I subconsciously refuted a few words.

"It's not easy for women. You can't do anything left or right. It's normal to feel a little awkward." Tao Meiyu said seriously.

"Then..." Gao E was unsure, "Do you still want to make Master He laugh?"

Tao Meiyu thought that she came here just for this matter, and felt a little conflicted at the moment.

She naturally wanted her husband's love and happiness, but now it seemed a bit unorthodox.

She became conflicted.

Gao E ignored her confusion and leaned back, waiting slowly.

At this time, the sound of hurried horse hooves came from far away. Gao E looked towards the door and saw He Tangchun pushing the door open in a hurry.

Tao Meiyun saw He Tangchun hurriedly stand up, feeling uneasy like a child who had made a mistake. "Why is my husband here?"

He Tangchun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the exquisite chairs placed in the yard and Gao E standing there safe and sound.

He knew that Tao would not come to He County for no reason. Was she suspecting that he had another woman outside?

He had always known that his servants had been reporting his situation to Mrs. Tao, and he thought that this would reassure Mrs. Tao and allow him to worry less.

But the result is just groundless speculation.

Although he and Tao had no feelings for each other, Tao handled family affairs very well, and he was very grateful and would not let anyone shake her position.

I didn't expect that after being married for so many years, they still couldn't escape suspicion in the end.

"If Madam can come, why can't I?" He Tangchun asked back bluntly.

Tao Meiyu didn't expect He Tangchun to speak to her like this. She subconsciously glanced at He Tangchun and then hurriedly looked away. She knew that her master was angry.

"Mrs. He can come, but Lord He may not be able to come." Gao E said with a smile.

He Tangchun looked at Gao E, wondering what this woman was going to do next.

"Now that my husband is not at home, it is only natural for Madam He to come and chat with me about family matters. But Lord He must have come for something, and our dilapidated temple really can't withstand any major events." Gao E said jokingly.

He Tangchun sneered and thought, is Gao E trying to protect Tao Meiyu?

"Besides, Mrs. He came here for Lord He." Gao E slightly turned to Tao Meiyu.

Tao Meiyu was a little surprised and grateful when she heard Gao E say this.

The women in the inner house are always at loggerheads with each other, and they will not back down even with a smile on their faces.

What's more, it's such a good opportunity to kick someone when he's down.

"For me?" He Tangchun wanted to hear what Gao E could come up with.

"Yes." Gao E nodded confidently. "Mrs. He came to ask me how to make kimchi, saying that she could make it for Lord He in the future."

He Tangchun wanted to laugh when he saw the coffee table filled with plates.

Tao doesn't like things with strong flavors, especially raw, cold and spicy food. He used to talk a lot about health preservation at the dinner table. How could he possibly come to learn these things?

However, Gao E gave the couple this opportunity, and it was impossible for him to tell the truth and frame Gao E.

Tao hesitated to speak, and finally cleared his throat awkwardly.

She wanted to say that this kimchi was raw, cold and spicy and was not suitable for consumption.

"What's wrong with Mrs. He?" Gao E looked at Tao Meiyu.

Tao Meiyun smiled politely and said, "Maybe it's because of the hot weather, my throat is a little uncomfortable."

"I happen to have some refreshing tea at home. I'll get some for Mrs. He." Gao E wanted to send them away quickly.

"No." Tao Meiyun immediately refused. "Oral medications must follow the doctor's instructions."

"I'm sorry for being rude." Gao E readily agreed.

I thought you two should just solve your own affairs behind closed doors. This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so why are you coming to her?

"Then we'll take our leave first." He Tangchun knew that Gao E didn't like him coming to Baotou Village.

"Okay." Gao E smiled really happily this time.

Tao Meiyu looked at Gao E's smile, and pretended to glance at her husband casually.

Although he didn't smile, he looked relaxed, unlike his usual serious appearance.

Sheng'er brought people in to clean up and put the things that had been placed back.

In order to perform the role well, Gao E gave Tao Meiyu a can of pickled peppers.

Tao Meiyu had no choice but to accept it, her smile a little stiff.

Watching the carriage leave, Gao E casually shook her hands, finally seeing it off.

Some people actually suspected that she, a woman with five children, could have an affair with a local official. They really overestimated her.

Lei came over immediately and said, "Mrs. He didn't make things difficult for my second sister-in-law, did she?"

"Why is she making things difficult for me?" Gao E saw Lei's worried look and said, "I just came here to learn how to make kimchi, and I can't bring myself to do that."

Lei instantly believed it. After all, the kimchi was so delicious. "Did my second sister-in-law teach her?"

"How is that possible? That's our family business." Gao E said with a smile.

Lei also breathed a sigh of relief: "What if Lord He asks his second sister-in-law to teach his wife?"

"Not really." Gao E didn't care.

In fact, making kimchi is not difficult. Anyone who is interested can make it if they try, but the taste will be quite different.

He Tangchun and Tao Meiyu were sitting in the carriage, both sitting upright, as if it were a routine.

"How do you feel about meeting Gao?" He Tangchun asked seriously.

"Although she is just a peasant woman, she has some knowledge and is an open-minded person." Tao Meiyu said what she meant.

He Tangchun glanced at Tao Meiyun. Although his wife was boring, she had no intention of harming anyone. "So you can rest assured?"

This made Tao Meiyun very embarrassed: "Mother is urging you to take a concubine... She asked me to prepare it for you in advance, so that if you can return home, you can continue the He family line."

He Tangchun frowned impatiently: "I am just an official of low status. I cannot take a concubine before I am forty. This is the imperial court's rule."

This is indeed a court regulation, but there are many ways to circumvent it.

Not to mention that he was an official, even those wealthy businessmen who did not hold official positions, as long as they liked women, would not have only one wife at home.

"Continuing the family line is a big deal..." Tao Meiyu's voice became softer and softer as she spoke.
