The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 141 Daily Life in the Small Courtyard_1
Li Qing returned home to find the courtyard eerily quiet.
Just when he thought that Han Mei and Tian Yue’e must have gone back, whispers suddenly came from the main room.
Li Qing lifted the door curtain and walked in.
He saw Han Mei and Tian Yue’e, one on the left and one on the right, sprawled on his bed, whispering to each other.
From behind, those long, beautiful legs and pert buttocks were fully in view.
The beauty of the two women was equally matched, yet each had their own unique merits.
Tian Yue’e was slightly plump, adding a sensuous appeal, which made her look voluptuous and alluring.
Han Mei, in comparison, appeared somewhat slimmer.
But the shape of her buttocks was even more appealing, like ripe peaches, extraordinarily tempting.
Just as he couldn’t help but reach out with both hands, one left and one right, to grab hold, Han Mei and Tian Yue’e turned their heads together.
"You’re back and not saying anything, the food is almost cold," Han Mei muttered discontentedly.
Tian Yue’e’s eyes were filled with charm, and she said with a smiling grin, "He must have been secretly watching us from behind."
Li Qing felt awkward and scratched his head.
Tian Yue’e really understood him.
Han Mei’s cheeks flushed slightly, "You’re not proper any time of day, always thinking about those things."
Li Qing looked pained and muttered, "With two national beauties in the house, I haven’t reached the level of a saint in my ’Cultivation’, I simply can’t control my own eyes and hands!"
"Oh, I’m afraid it’s not just your hands and eyes you can’t control," Tian Yue’e teased with a laugh.
The flirtatious allure in her eyes seemed almost ready to spill over.
Li Qing looked up at the ceiling and muttered in a low voice, "I wish I could be shameless day and night, but you two wouldn’t agree either, sister-in-law still won’t let me touch..."
Han Mei’s cheeks instantly turned a deep red, and she twisted Li Qing’s arm, "What nonsense are you talking about, hurry up and eat!"
"Ouch..."
Li Qing’s expression instantly contorted with pain.
Tian Yue’e swayed her slim waist, stood beside Li Qing, and laughed with schadenfreude, "Accidentally told the truth, eh? Be careful, or your sister-in-law won’t let you touch me."
Li Qing: ...
Tian Yue’e laughed unrestrained.
Li Qing glared unhappily at her and slapped her rounded buttocks hard.
"Ah!"
Tian Yue’e exclaimed softly, reaching back and grabbing Li Qing’s crotch, raising her proud little chin.
"Time to eat!"
Han Mei’s voice called out from the courtyard.
Tian Yue’e immediately let go and trotted out of the main room.
Li Qing stood there dazed for a moment, a silent smile curling at the corners of his mouth.
Life was pretty good.
During the meal, Li Qing discussed the matter he had finalized with Shi Liang with Han Mei and Tian Yue’e.
"Then we might be a bit short-handed," Han Mei said with a light frown, "There will definitely be people who mix the young leaves with the older ones when they bring them in, we’ll have to sort through them at that time."
Li Qing nodded, "We’re certainly going to be short on manpower, and moreover, those older leaves will need to be sun-dried."
"That means even less manpower available," Han Mei said, pressing a chopstick against her temple in distress, "Yue’er and I not only have to go make purchases, Yue’er also has to look after his vegetable shed. We can delay the farm work for a few days, but not for too long, the wheat needs to be harvested."
"We should call in machines to harvest the wheat next year; otherwise, it’s too time-consuming," Li Qing commented, "This is my plan, sister-in-law, you and Yue’er should stop doing the purchasing for now, I’ll take care of it, and you two will be responsible for sorting and sun-drying."
"I’ll see if I can find someone else to help out you guys."
"I think that’s a good idea!" Han Mei nodded and looked at Tian Yue’e, "What do you think?"
"I’m fine with anything, as long as Qingzi pays me a salary." Tian Yue’e said with a giggle.
"The salary must be paid, for now, you and my sister-in-law are getting six thousand a month each." Li Qing said.
He had tried several times to hand over the money he earned to Han Mei, but she stubbornly refused.
Since she wouldn’t take it, Li Qing had no choice but to think of another way.
"Six thousand is too much, isn’t it? Adding Gao Li’s salary, that’s more than ten thousand in expenses a month!" Han Mei said softly, "Both Yue’er and I should take a bit less, and you can raise our pay when you’re truly doing well."
Tian Yue’e also chimed in, "Listen to your sister-in-law, I was just kidding, and you took it for real, which is kind of scary."
"Sister-in-law, we’re family, so let’s not talk as if we’re strangers. The money leaves my hand but ends up with you and Yue’er, it’s still within our family! If you two hadn’t been refusing all the time, I wouldn’t have had to make it so awkward." Li Qing said, somewhat helplessly.
Han Mei’s face blushed slightly, "Then... Alright then, but if you need that money later, just tell me."
"I don’t want it, my little sister still needs to go to school, I can’t overlook that slight selfishness." Tian Yue’e shook her head and said straightforwardly.
"Isn’t your sister my sister too?" Li Qing countered.
Tian Yue’e was taken aback.
Han Mei smiled warmly, patting Tian Yue’e’s hand, "Since Qingzi insists on giving it, just take it."
"Family should not speak so formally to each other."
Tears quietly gathered in Tian Yue’e’s eyes. She bit the corner of her mouth, looking at Li Qing with a mix of laughing and crying, "Sister-in-law, I want Qingzi to do me right now, do you agree?"
Li Qing’s eyes went wide in an instant.
What’s going on all of a sudden?
It had to be said, this unexpected surprise excited him a lot.
He quietly started to react below.
Han Mei frowned and gave Tian Yue’e a fierce pinch on her waist, "Addicted, are you? If you two mess around without me knowing later on, it’s like you’re deliberately trying to make me angry."
"Ah! I take back what I just said, I was... just too moved." Tian Yue’e cried out in pain, raising her hands in surrender.
Li Qing smiled helplessly.
He had almost believed it for real.
"As for the additional help, what about asking Yang Xuelan?" Li Qing said.
In the village, she was the only woman he trusted.
"Yang Xuelan, huh? That woman has big boobs and a perky butt, even more exaggerated than me, I think it’s fine." Tian Yue’e said, nodding.
Li Qing: ...
"Can you not be so flirtatious when we’re discussing serious matters? Whether she’s busty or not has nothing to do with Qingzi." Han Mei reached for Tian Yue’e’s waist again, gripping the plump flesh there.
"Ah... Alright, alright, I was just speaking off the cuff." Tian Yue’e twisted her face in pain.
Li Qing’s expression became somewhat unnatural as he buried his head in his food.
Yang Xuelan’s assets almost had something to do with him, but now, they probably didn’t.
"Qingzi, how much salary are you planning to give Yang Xuelan?" Han Mei asked.
"Is three thousand a month too little?" Li Qing responded with a question.
The combined monthly salary for four people was close to twenty thousand, so Li Qing didn’t dare offer too much now.
If things didn’t last long in this business, he feared he might end up not earning anything himself.
"That’s not too little, let’s settle on three thousand." Han Mei decided definitively, sealing the deal.
She immediately took on a bit of the air of the head woman of the household.
