"Letās discuss this matter thoroughly when we get back and come up with a plan," Yang Chuxia said.
"Sure, Iām lucky to have you. Youāve saved me from taking many detours," Ye Ziāan replied.
At this point, Ye Ziāan thought to himself that he must have accumulated a lot of good deeds in his past life, otherwise, how could he have married a girl like Xiaxia?
"Are you very touched?"
"Of course!"
Ye Ziāan reached out, pulled her into his arms, and said, "With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?"
Okay, these two were so engrossed in their conversation that they forgot there were many people behind them.
And so Yang Chuxia heard various voices coming from behind her.
"Ah, so that lady is the Madam of County Magistrate? Sheās so pretty!"
"Our County Magistrate is handsome, too. Didnāt you see how those girls from the two villages were looking at him as if theyād seen a big juicy bone?"
"But our County Magistrate and his wife really do match each other well, both are exceptionally good-looking."
"Exactly, look at how affectionate they are with each other, tsk tsk, that clinginess. Not like my old man; hard to find during the day, and when he comes back at night, he just falls asleep. Canāt even borrow a hammer."
"Pfft... Sister-in-law, you and your husband have been married for a long time, no need to borrow, why not just take it?"
"Taking it by force has no taste, itād be over before anything starts."
Yang Chuxia and Ye Ziāan looked at each other at the front, with Ye Ziāan feeling a bit embarrassed.
Yang Chuxia covered her mouth and laughed. These women didnāt hold back when talking amongst themselves, saying whatever they wanted, and loudly at that. They were all married; who wouldnāt understand what she was hinting at?
But to be able to say it so openly and unabashedly under broad daylight was not ordinary.
And just by hearing the voice, without even turning around, Yang Chuxia knew who it was. When that person spoke about the Land Officers from the two villages earlier, she was very articulate, obviously a straightforward person.
Actually, Yang Chuxia quite appreciated such a person, which was why before leaving, she had Ye Er give an extra silver or two to that sister-in-law, who happily went home.

By the time they returned to Mianyang County, it was already past dinner time.
It was even later by the time they got back to their residence. They expected that their two sons would be asleep, but upon entering the harem, they found the two little boys, one scribbling with a pen and the other folding something out of paper.
Of course, he couldnāt fold it properly, folding and refolding it into diagonals.
He seemed unable to create what he had in mind, no matter how he folded it, getting so frustrated that he scratched his head with both hands.
"Pfft... what are you doing thatās making you so frantic?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Yangyang, who was sitting on the soft couch, lit up and yelled, "Daddy, Mommy!"
"Why arenāt you two asleep yet?"
"Mommy, fold bird, fold bird," Yangyang beckoned her over with his paper.
"What made you want to fold a bird?"
Lele looked up from his booklet and answered for his brother, "Birds can fly."
"Mommy..." Yangyang nodded repeatedly and tugged at her sleeve.
"Mommy doesnāt know this one, go to Daddy, Daddy knows!"
At that, Yangyang smiled, didnāt even put on his shoes, and ran straight to Ye Ziāan. Then he clambered into Ye Ziāanās arms and even kissed his neck, "Daddy! Daddy fold bird!"
"Why is he becoming more and more like a little girl, learning to act coquettishly?" asked Ye Ziāan, turning to Yang Chuxia.
"Heās young; isnāt it normal for him to be coquettish?" Yang Chuxia chuckled, "You spend some time with our son. Iām going to wash up, and then Iāll have something prepared for us to eat."
