Happy Little Farmer

Yang Fan returned to town, pushed the door of Bai Cao Pavilion open, slipped into the backyard, and lay straight down on the bed to close his eyes.

Every movement was fluid like water flowing through the clouds.

He had never craved sleep as much as he did at this moment.

Having gone through so much last night, and after staying up all night, even the vigorous energy of a young man like Yang Fan was hardly enough to keep up. Engaging in that kind of activity was already a massive drain on his stamina, let alone doing so after pulling an all-nighter. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

His eyes squinted shut for two minutes, when suddenly he remembered he had some rather important things inside the store. He ran downstairs thump thump thump, locked the store door and only then did he comfortably fall asleep.

This time, he was prepared to sleep endlessly before considering anything else.

He didn’t know how much time passed when, in a daze, Yang Fan suddenly felt someone smacking their lips beside his ear and a rather strange sound. Listening more carefully, he felt the pleasure of being swallowed and spat out rhythmically.

The mouth was tender, its movements were extremely gentle, warm, silky, like being wrapped just enough by hot springs water.

But Yang Fan was simply too tired. After briefly waking up in a stupor, he was unable to sleep again.

His muddled mind didn’t even consider who might be using their mouth on him.

It wasn’t until a strong stimulation surged through him, giving him the urge to release, that he suddenly snapped awake.

Yang Fan sharply turned over and hurriedly looked beneath him.

"Sister-in-law, how come you’re here?" Yang Fan asked, surprised.

The person crouched at his lower body, rapidly swirling her small mouth around him, was none other than Ye Tong.

Ye Tong released Little Yang Fan, looked up at him with a smile and said, "I came to see you. It’s been rather quiet at home for the past couple of days, so I can spare a hand, help you out a bit. What were you up to yesterday that made you sleep until this hour?"

"What time is it?" Yang Fan asked, still groggy.

"Four o’clock," Ye Tong said.

Yang Fan slapped his forehead and rubbed his cheeks vigorously to sober up a bit before saying, "Overslept."

"This doesn’t look like just oversleeping to me," Ye Tong said, her eyes carrying a hint of scrutiny, "your eyes are even a bit red. Clearly, you stayed up late last night." She asked in a stern voice, "Tell me the truth, did you sneak out and get into some trouble last night?"

"Not at all." Yang Fan was startled, and his heart skipped a beat.

The look in his sister-in-law’s eyes was a bit too intense.

"I didn’t stay up last night, but I did go to bed quite late," Yang Fan managed to say.

"I collected some Matsutake and Black spirit ginseng yesterday; the quantity was quite significant, and these items are rather rare. I contacted Zhao Wu to send them to Old Zhou, but just happened to run into Old Zhou and his wife having a big fight, creating a huge mess."

Ye Tong looked at Yang Fan suspiciously, "Old Zhou started dealing with mushrooms this year?"

"No, he was delivering them to someone," Yang Fan said.

There’s nothing to explain about the Black spirit ginseng since it’s just an herb.

"Sister-in-law, I feel like you’ve got some extreme distrust towards me," Yang Fan said with a mournful expression.

Suddenly, Ye Tong bit Little Yang Fan, pretended to be ferocious, and said, "There’s clear evidence, and you’re still trying to fool me. How can I not suspect? You clearly woke up for a moment earlier, then went back to sleep."

"I’m doing this exciting thing for you, and you still stay asleep. How tired must you be? It’s obviously because you stayed up last night, and now you’re pretending to have overslept. Who would believe that?"

Yang Fan inwardly cursed, realizing the situation was bad.

His sister-in-law’s thoughts were just too overly meticulous.

"I really did oversleep, my mind hasn’t even fully come to yet, of course that’s what I would say," Yang Fan said with a sheepish laugh.

Lying in front of sister-in-law is truly an extremely dangerous matter.

One careless slip could blow everything up.

"Why were they fighting?" Ye Tong asked.

After a moment’s thought, Yang Fan decided he still couldn’t reveal the truth about Old Zhou’s divorce.

Otherwise, there would be even more suspicion on him.

"Who knows, I didn’t dare to ask in detail. They fight so often it’s almost normal for them now, their relationship hasn’t been good, and this time they went further than usual. We asked a couple of simple questions, but Old Zhou seemed reluctant to talk, so we let it be," Yang Fan said.

"It really isn’t good to meddle in other people’s family affairs," Ye Tong licked her lips lightly and suddenly asked, "By the way, haven’t you gone to see Wei Juan these days at all?"

Yang Fan had just been relieved that sister-in-law didn’t continue to press on this issue, but her words caught him off guard, and truly so.

"It’s indeed been a while," he said.

"Find time to see her soon, I’ve heard that girl’s been in a bad mood recently and seems to be considering blind dates," Ye Tong said, "Since you’ve slept with her, even if you don’t marry her, you should at least take some responsibility. You need to talk things out clearly with her. Sleeping with her a few times and then ignoring her, what’s that supposed to mean? That behavior makes you a total scumbag, Fanzi."

Yang Fan was instantly petrified...

This, sister-in-law actually knew.

She had probed into the matter, intentionally or unintentionally, before, but Yang Fan always thought that sister-in-law was not sure and was trying to cover it all up. Now it seems no explanation was necessary – she clearly knew.

"Sister-in-law, I..."

Yang Fan lost his nerve, abruptly lucid as never before, but his mind was blank.

"Don’t be so surprised, didn’t I tell you a long time ago? I’ve known since then," Ye Tong said very calmly, "You even deliberately used Xiao Juan to provoke me. If I wasn’t certain about this matter, do you think with my personality, I would’ve agreed so quickly?"

Yang Fan was astonished.

It seemed that was indeed the case.

"You getting together with Xiao Juan actually made me feel a bit more secure. Otherwise, I always felt as if I owed you something," Ye Tong said with a laugh, skillfully playing with Little Yang Fan.

Yang Fan scratched his head, "Sister-in-law, since you already know, then there’s really nothing for me to hide. Anyway, the situation at that time was quite complicated, wasn’t it? But, Wei Juan and I haven’t actually..."

"Haven’t? Are you lying to me again? I don’t mind, what are you afraid to admit?" Ye Tong rolled her eyes.

"Just consider my generosity right now as compensation to you."

"Because Wei Juan had surgery, you know about that; we couldn’t do it," Yang Fan muttered listlessly.

"Ah? I thought recovery was quite simple, how come it hasn’t been dealt with?" Ye Tong asked, "Does Xiao Juan also not want to be with you?"

"That’s not it; natural recovery is generally better, but I’ve been busy lately, and I haven’t visited her," he explained.

Ye Tong suddenly shook her head and chuckled softly, "I’ve realized that you’re indeed a bit pitiful. How about this, tonight I’ll go with you to see Xiao Juan, get this matter out in the open first and see what her attitude is."

"Dragging on with this kind of thing is definitely not good. Once we clear the air, things will be easier to handle."

Yang Fan nodded in agreement, but inwardly he couldn’t help muttering to himself.

He felt now that far from being pitiful, he was actually becoming more overwhelmed.

Just last night, the number of his women had successfully increased by two.
