Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1380: Chapter 1179 Dislike Love_1 Chapter 1380: Chapter 1179 Dislike Love_1 Qiao Xiaomai was busy in the kitchen, kneading dough to make pastries, when the vile words of the Zhang Family filled her ears. She pressed her lips tightly together and stopped her movements.

Her gaze fixated on the flour in her hands, her heart, already bitter and suffocated, felt as if it had been invaded by the bitterness of Coptis Chinensis.

Thinking of her own situation, she bit her lip, a total mess, truly a total mess.

Bei Lingsu was out there achieving great things, while she could only nest in the kitchen like a chef–and the root of it all was because she fancied Tong Sancha.

Fancying Tong Sancha, she fell into the throes of love, so at the time, she dated him, risking her life, ignoring the trouble brought by such “outstanding” individuals as the Zhang Family, Tong Xingda, and Zhu Hongyun, and married him without a second thought.

Her past experiences taught her to value love over material wealth, that being loved was enough to make her content. As long as Tong Sancha treated her well, she could endure all the other agonies.

And endure she did. Though she always talked tough, faced with the provocations and troublemaking of these “outstanding” individuals, she had never retaliated.

She simply ignored them, never once seeking revenge.

What did her silent suffering yield?

More provocations from these “outstanding” individuals, and an inability to compete with the blood ties and familial affection between Tong Sancha and them.

What was she, after all?

She was not Tong Sancha’s only one.

Her unconditional dedication couldn’t secure the same treatment in return.

If she had not gotten together with Tong Sancha, she could have chosen a few pretty boys or raised a few “little wolves” to live as she pleased. Why would she have to suffer so much indignity!

Indignity, and dissatisfaction as well.

On what grounds, what had she done wrong?

Why should Tong Sancha treat her this way?

But now that things had come to this, what could she do?

Give up?

She couldn’t bear it.

Tong Sancha wasn’t like her lousy ex-boyfriend. The things Tong Sancha did hurt her, but not quite enough for her to make the decisive cut.

Not give up?

Not giving up would mean she’d have to continue to endure this indignity.

That’s how unreasonable affection is–the one who loves more always loses.

Moreover, love quietly infuses itself into the marrow, and trying to sever it hurts as much as cutting flesh and breaking bones, just thinking about it made her turn pale with pain.

Hate love.

As Qiao Xiaomai was feeling miserable, the scolding of Mrs. Zhang continued outside the kitchen. Seeing that Qiao Xiaomai did not respond, Mrs. Zhang cursed more filthily, so filthy that just hearing it made one want to cleanse their ears.

The unpleasant scolding pulled Qiao Xiaomai out of her vortex of misery.

And then she felt even worse.

Just now, it was merely dissatisfaction, but upon hearing Bei Lingsu’s name, her feelings of inferiority surged.

Yes, Bei Lingsu–the name itself seemed ethereal, unlike hers, Qiao Xiaomai, which was as earthy as it gets.

Bei Lingsu had medical skills and knew light body techniques. Standing beside Bei Lingsu, if passersby were to choose, they would certainly opt for Bei Lingsu to be with Tong Sancha.

She, Qiao Xiaomai, with her earthy name and lack of impressive skills, was like a sparrow that had flitted onto a branch to enjoy the view, but at heart was still a sparrow.

Such a suffocating truth.

Her teeth bit down on her lip. She raised her sleeve to wipe her eyes, then continued the task at hand.

Since she had promised to make delicacies, she had to keep her word.

As for Mrs. Zhang’s scolding, might as well pretend not to hear it.

Qiao Xiaomai ignored Mrs. Zhang, who cursed for a good half an hour before stopping, exhausted and hoarse.

Sipping water poured by a maid, she pondered.

Ever since she knew she couldn’t get silver from Qiao Xiaomai, she had been considering how to divorce her.

Going to Capital City to seek Bai Zhi’s help was motivated by this intention, but the scheme was spoiled by the unsuccessful attempt to advance by Zhao Lan.

Why did Zhao Lan fail?
