Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm-Chapter 1616 - 1615 Zhu Hongyun is Awesome

Someone asked again how he came up with the idea. Tong Sanlang smiled faintly, "After seeing the images from the shadow play, the more I looked at them, the more I liked them. I couldn’t help but pick up a brush and start drawing. First, I sketched the characters one by one, and the more I drew, the smoother it became. Eventually, I ended up illustrating the entire scene."

"Xiaomai saw it and thought it was quite novel, so she suggested that I draw more. And this is the result," he explained.

Yang Wenxiao listened to the explanation and nodded, "Great idea. Go ahead and illustrate the whole book. I’ll have someone take care of printing it."

"A masterpiece like *Journey to the West* should indeed have multiple editions. Every version deserves a place in a collection."

He was deeply fond of the heroic Monkey King—a true larger-than-life figure. Every time he saw the Monkey King, his heart would surge with boundless enthusiasm.

Though his body had aged, his heart had not.

"I’ll get started on the other illustrations now," Tong Sanlang said.

"Go ahead, but remember to balance work and rest," Yang Wenxiao reminded.

Tong Sanlang acknowledged with a sound.

When he returned to the small courtyard where he lived with Qiao Xiaomai, he saw that she had already come back. He greeted her, "How was it?"

"Pretty good. When we have time, we should arrange for a performance at the Field Manor," Qiao Xiaomai replied, her head lowered as she was opening a letter—she had received a letter from Tong Tiehu.

The letter had been delivered by someone from Fan Linong. She found it quite curious, as it had been a long time since Fan Linong last wrote to her.

"What are you reading?" Tong Sanlang leaned over.

Qiao Xiaomai slid the letter closer to him so they could read it together.

After glancing over a few lines, their expressions immediately changed. Qiao Xiaomai couldn’t help but curse, "Holy shit!"

Tong Sanlang furrowed his brows, eyes fixed on a particular line on the letter, his lips pressed into a straight line.

Qiao Xiaomai’s peach blossom eyes widened in disbelief. "What the hell, what the hell, what the hell! This is explosive! Zhu Hongyun is incredible—she’s ready to ascend to the heavens!"

Zhu Hongyun was indeed about to ascend to the heavens.

Because the Zhang Family had been abducted, the Tong Family members moved into the manor—this being a residence that Qiao Xiaomai had only recently built. Zhu Hongyun, who had never stepped foot here before, now found herself staying in this house, along with members of both the Qiao and Tong families.

Zhu Hongyun, along with Tong Erlang and the entire Tong Dalang family, were delighted. Such a grand residence—and Qiao Xiaomai, the owner, wasn’t even around!

To them, it was essentially their new home! freёwebnoѵel.com

Suddenly gaining a new house, they were ecstatic. But after the initial excitement wore off, the inconveniences began to reveal themselves. Mai Yuan and Bamboo Fragrance Garden were occupied by Qiao Changshun and Qiao Dami, while that row of luxurious guest houses was reserved for the Yang Family. They weren’t qualified to live there.

They could only stay in the guest rooms near the main gate.

Moreover, the manor was surrounded by many guards, responsible for safeguarding them. They couldn’t leave the manor and had to stay confined within.

The manor spanned twenty acres, and one could easily explore it all in a single day. On the first day, everything felt new and fresh. On the second day, it still felt fresh. But being stuck within this twenty-acre space for a month, two months, or even half a year to a year—it wasn’t an experience of enjoyment. It was imprisonment.

They couldn’t even go near the three dirt mounds nearby; they could only stay within the twenty-acre estate enclosed by walls.

During this period, Qiao Changshun, Qiao Dami, Zhuang Lühe, and Tong Tiehu had all gone to the Capital City for the New Year, which for them was a kind of vacation or reprieve. But the families of Tong Dalang and Tong Erlang remained trapped in the manor. For them, it was truly like being in prison.

The days in this "prison" were lonely. Zhu Hongyun, spending her days with Tong Erlang, found him increasingly intolerable the more she looked at him.

Back then, despite all her schemes, Tong Erlang still couldn’t get into this manor. Now that he had managed to enter, they found themselves unable to leave.

Being stuck every day with such a useless man like Tong Erlang was driving her mad.

Especially since, on the other side, there was someone like Shen Bai as a point of comparison.
