Joe's Farming

Bai Ming raised his head in shock, tears still in his eyes: "You know Ling Lie? Have you heard him talk about me?"

Qiao Yu nodded, then shook her head: "We know Ling Lie, but he only said that he would go to Qingfeng Village to save you, and didn't say anything else."

Bai Ming uttered an “hmm” and his tears fell even harder.

Qiao Yu felt very distressed. Bai Ming's crying was silent, and it was obvious that he had been suppressed for the past three years.

Bai Ming paused for a while before asking, "Did he really... say he was going to save me?"

Qiao Yu nodded vigorously.

"Really? He rushed to Qingfeng Village early yesterday morning, but there was no one in the village. He was very sad when he came back, fearing that you didn't escape in time."

"...I...went down the mountain the day before yesterday. I...waited for two days in Suining County, but didn't see him. I just got on the boat this morning."

Qiao Yu patted his shoulder and said, "Great! Now you both can rest assured.

The food is getting cold, let’s eat first.”

Bai Ming nodded, and the three of them started eating again.

The captain of the boat not far away originally wanted to stand up and toast Qiao Yu with a glass of wine, but when he saw Bai Ming crying, he was so scared that he sat down quickly.

"My goodness, how did Boss Qiao make that guy cry?" the cook asked curiously.

"Could it be that the guy wanted to do something to Boss Qiao's husband and was scolded by Boss Qiao and made him cry?" a crew member analyzed.

"No, I don't think so. Look, Boss Qiao is comforting him." Another rational spectator.

"Eat your food! Such delicious fish can't stop you from eating?"

When the captain showed his authority, everyone immediately shut up and focused on eating.

By the time they arrived in the provincial capital, Qiao Yu and Bai Ming had already become friends.

Qiao Yu was worried that it would be dangerous for Bai Ming to return home alone, so she invited him to stay in the city for two more days until he wrote a letter to ask Ling Lie to come and take him back.

Bai Ming thought about it and finally refused.

"My parents have been waiting for me for three years, and I don't want them to wait even one more day. Qiao Ge'er, it's great to meet you and your husband. I'm leaving now. Take care and everything goes well."

Since Bai Ming said so, Qiao Yu couldn't say anything else.

"Bai Ming, do you have enough money?"

Qiao Yu felt that the only thing she and Gu Feng could help with now was money.

Bai Ming smiled and nodded: "I have it, don't worry. I will definitely visit you at your villa when I have the chance in the future."

"Well, you're welcome anytime. Have a safe trip."

When Bai Ming was no longer visible, Qiao Yu said to Gu Feng with some emotion: "Bai Ming is really too miserable. I understand why Ling Lie must go back to save him."

Gu Feng said "hmm".

Although he didn't quite understand why his husband suddenly developed such a strong liking for that guy.

However, he is not completely stupid.

Know how a good-looking guy would be treated in a bandit’s camp.

But there was no sign that Bai Ming had ever had such a dark experience.

Although Gu Feng was not optimistic that Bai Ming would be treated well after returning home.

After all, if a boy stays alone outside for three years, he will definitely be framed in this era.

"I think it would be better to ask Ling Lie to see him off." Gu Feng said.

Qiao Yu was stunned: "Is it really necessary?"

Gu Feng nodded: "He hasn't been home for so many years, and now he suddenly comes home. I don't know about his parents, but his relatives and neighbors must be talking about it. He finally escaped, I don't think he can bear it."

Only then did Qiao Yu realize the common problem of this era.

He quickly ran in the direction where Bai Ming left, cursing as he ran:

"Why didn't you remind me earlier? Oh! You knew I was a slow runner."

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, and Qiao Yu saw her husband chasing after him, holding the baby.

"Hey, hey, hey! Baby, Hengzi! What should I do if you bump into the child?"

But the facts proved that not only was Gu Heng not bullied by his father, he also really liked Gu Feng taking him for a run.

"Hehehehe——"

When Qiao Yu arrived, he heard Gu Heng grinning with joy.

Qiao Yu held his forehead with his hand.

Fortunately, Bai Ming didn't walk very fast, and Gu Feng quickly caught up with him.

Bai Ming looked at Gu Feng who was chasing him and Gu Heng who was smiling very happily in his arms in confusion.

"Brother Gu? Do you and Brother Qiao have anything else to tell me?"

Gu Feng barely took a breath and nodded: "Wait for Qiao Er to come over and tell you."

Qiao Yu came over, holding her stomach and breathing heavily.

He shouted to Bai Ming: "You can't leave."

Bai Ming: ???

"What's wrong?"

Qiao Yu paused for a while before saying, "I just remembered that I need your help with something, and it must be you."

Bai Ming: “Ah?”

Qiao Yu said seriously, "I need a helper when I go to discuss business. You see, Brother Gu has to take care of Hengzi at all times, so he can't spare the time. My business is urgent, and I can't find another brother in such a short time. Can you help me? After the discussion, Brother Gu and I will take you back."

Gu Feng:?

Isn’t his name Ling Lie?

Although Bai Ming felt strange when he heard this, he couldn't say no when he thought about how the couple had taken good care of him along the way, so he nodded and agreed.

Qiao Yu felt relieved: "Great. Then let's go to the inn to rest for a while, and then discuss business."

-

The inn was chosen by Gu Feng, and it was the most luxurious inn in the city.

Gu Heng got some milk at the inn. The little guy happily drank another bottle and went to sleep after finishing it.

Now Gu Feng really has to stay with him all the time.

Qiao Yu comforted her: "I will be back soon."

"Don't worry, don't rush and don't get tired."

"Ok, I know."

Qiao Yu changed her clothes, put on Gu Heng's baby carrier and went out.

Bai Ming also changed his clothes and came out. The No. 1 room that Qiao Yu booked for him was as luxurious as the one they were staying in.

The room not only has a place to entertain guests, but also an annex room for washing and bathing. The toilet is even filled with spices so there is no odor at all.

Bai Ming asked Qiao Yu somewhat embarrassedly: "How much is the rent? I'll give it to you."

Qiao Yu waved her hand and said, "Maybe Brother Gu and I don't look like rich people, but I'll tell you in secret that Brother Gu and I are actually quite rich."

Bai Ming was amused by the way Qiao Yu whispered: "Really? Then I won't be polite?"

Qiao Yu nodded hurriedly: "Really? You still don't know what Ling Lie does for me. How much is his monthly salary?"

Bai Ming became interested. He had previously forgotten to ask how Qiao Yu and Ling Lie knew each other.

"He works for you?"

Qiao Yu nodded proudly: "Well, he is the chef of our Lingyun Villa. I pay him four taels of silver a month."

Bai Ming was shocked. First, he didn't expect that Ling Lie, as the third in command, would actually go and be a cook for Qiao Yu.

Second, a cook can actually earn four taels of silver a month!

Wouldn’t that be forty-eight taels of silver that year!

Being able to pay Ling Lie so much money means that he earns more. No wonder Qiao Yu doesn't seem to be troubled by life at all, it turns out that the confidence comes from money.
