Chapter 165: 165

“Wife, wife! I will truly change this time!!” When w.a.n.g Ergou saw that his wife had made up her mind, he almost fell to his knees . He sullenly continued in a soft voice, “I only did this because I noticed that you looked tired due to pregnancy and didn’t have an appet.i.te, right? So . . . I wanted to pick this watermelon and have you try some…”

A faint spark appeared within Ergou’s wife’s dead-looking eyes, and she snarled angrily, “You stupid wretch! Do you think I could possibly eat the watermelon that you stole?!”

“I was wrong, I truly did the wrong thing this time . Wife, please forgive me this one last time!!” Ergou’zi saw that his wife was still willing to leave him so he apologized profusely in hope that she might understand his reasons . He truly regretted his actions now!

Ergou’s wife sniffed her nose a couple of times and said, “What are you apologizing to me for? It’s not like I lost anything . You should actually be apologizing to Second Brother Yu! There hasn’t been much rain this year, so these two siblings, Xiaosha and Xiaocao, have been hauling water into the fields to water them . You should know how hard it is; you’ve seen it with your own two eyes . You should actually be apologizing to these two siblings! Why do you think Second Brother Yu’s family decided to plant watermelons? The people you should be apologizing to is them, not me!”

“Yes, yes, yes! Don’t be angry, wife . I’ll apologize, I’ll apologize right now!” w.a.n.g Ergou immediately turned into his wife’s slave . If his wife said to go east, he absolutely wouldn’t go west .

w.a.n.g Ergou hung his head as he guiltily faced the Yu Family . He softly yet honestly said, “Second Brother Yu, I’m so sorry! Brother, I was confused and stole your family’s watermelon . . . I’m willing to compensate you guys for this watermelon . Please forgive me…”

Yu Hai walked over and slapped him on the shoulder, “I understand your feelings! When your second sister-in-law was pregnant with Xiaosha, she also didn’t have a good appet.i.te . At that time, I snuck out of the house late at night to go hunt in the hills in order to make your second sister-in-law some chicken broth to drink . A man who knows how to treat his wife well is a true man!! However, in the future, if your wife wants to eat watermelon, give us a holler and don’t hurt your wife’s feelings anymore . Go and comfort your wife . It’s not embarra.s.sing to bow in front of your wife!”

Yu Xiaocao couldn’t help but let a peal of laughter come out . Her father’s love towards his wife could clearly be seen by his words . Apparently, ah, he was destined to be a henpecked man .

“You’re back, Cao’er? Did your grandmother make things awkward for you?” When Yu Hai heard his daughter’s snicker, his entire face felt hot, yet he still solicitously asked her about her trip .

Fang Zizhen’s laughter was even more prominent as he replied, “With me there, who would dare to have to guts to bully our daughter? However, brother, I never would have thought that you were someone who treated your wife so well ah! What you said was right! Treating your wife well isn’t embarra.s.sing at all!!” Wah! Here was another guy who pampered his wife!

Xiaocao sn.i.g.g.e.red endlessly . Fang Zizhen felt embarra.s.sed by her laughter and gently knocked on her head with a fist but then tenderly rubbed the part he hit with a hand .

Xiaocao spoke to the w.a.n.g Ergou couple, “In the future, if you want to eat watermelon, come and find me! This watermelon isn’t ripe yet, so it won’t taste good! Come, try some our ripe watermelon here!”

w.a.n.g Ergou had been able to smell the melon’s sweet scent from where he was standing and stealthily swallowed down the pooled saliva in his mouth, “I don’t need to eat any! Give my wife two pieces to try . . . yeouch!” The pitiful w.a.n.g Ergou had just been pinched by his wife again .

Yu Xiaocao took two pieces of the already sliced melon and gave it to him . She grinned, “Uncle Ergou, this watermelon has a cold nature, so pregnant women can’t eat too much . If they do, they might have a miscarriage!”

When w.a.n.g Ergou heard her warning, his face immediately paled . He almost harmed his own wife; he was truly too stupid! He solemnly apologized again to everyone in the Yu Family and promised that he would never touch their watermelon fields again!

“Uncle Ergou! Our family’s watermelons will soon become ripe . Do you have any interest in taking some to sell at town or the docks ah?” Yu Xiaocao considered for a bit and realized her family was short on working hands . With her cheat, the mystic-stone water, their melon fields would absolutely have a large output . Even a good wine was afraid if there was no market . This was their first year in attempting to sell watermelon, so she wasn’t sure how it would go . They couldn’t let the ripe watermelons just rot in the fields, right?

“Eh? Sweet niece, what do you mean by this?” w.a.n.g Ergou felt faintly excited inside . His eyes brightened as he looked at Yu Xiaocao .

Yu Xiaocao smiled sweetly at him, “We will sell these watermelons to you below the market price, so you can sell them at market price in town . That way, you can keep the difference . ”

w.a.n.g Ergou’s eyes revealed an excited yet emotional look . He hesitated for a bit before he admitted, “Niece ah, you also know what my family’s circ.u.mstances are like, I’m afraid that we don’t have enough money right now to buy them…”

“Not a problem, the first time you can just take the melons from my family and then pay the bill after you sell the melons . ” w.a.n.g Ergou definitely wouldn’t have enough money to pay for one whole cart’s worth of watermelons . Yu Xiaocao had also thought of this problem .

w.a.n.g Ergou’s lips trembled as he softly replied, “You . . . you trust me?”

“Why wouldn’t I trust you? My father said earlier, any man who treats his wife well can’t be a bad person!” Yu Xiaocao winked at him teasingly, “That being said, whether or not I trust you isn’t the point, but how could I possibly not trust Auntie w.a.n.g eh?”
