The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 235 Tease the Appetite_1

Li Qing lay on the narrow bed.

Silently listening as Xu Keqing arranged for Lu’s wife to leave, he completely pretended to be unaware.

Successfully dealing with Lu’s wife not only let out the bottled-up frustration but also gave him extraordinary satisfaction.

Brightness returned to his view, as Xu Keqing’s pretty face came into sight.

She removed Li Qing’s eyepatch.

"She had a good time, huh?" Xu Keqing asked teasingly with a smile on her lips.

Li Qing nodded, "I didn’t expect her to be so tight, didn’t you say she was wild in play?"

"No matter how wild she plays, how can she compare to you? With that thing of yours, you’d probably feel tight with any woman," Xu Keqing said irritably, "it’s a good thing you’re with us older women. If you were with a young girl who had never done that before, you might not even be able to get in."

"Why don’t you leave some room for the real older women? If you’re an old woman, then should the real old women just go and bury themselves right away?" Li Qing joked.

Xu Keqing gave Li Qing a flirtatious glance, "You really have a sweet tongue."

"But there’s one thing, you just reminded me, Lu’s wife really is wild, and I can’t cope with her."

"And she does have a bit of status, so I definitely have to give her face. You better be prepared, she might want it every day."

Xu Keqing squeezed onto the small bed and nestled beside Li Qing, her hand wandering aimlessly.

"That also depends on my schedule, I can’t serve her every day. After this time, I’ll keep her appetite hanging," Li Qing said nonchalantly as he wrapped his arms around Xu Keqing.

"Okay then, after all, I can’t really ask you directly for anything right now," Xu Keqing said lightly.

Li Qing looked down at Xu Keqing with some surprise, "You’re not going to order me around this time?"

"When did I ever order you around? I’m just... used to it," Xu Keqing said softly.

By now, Li Qing had also come to understand Xu Keqing’s temperament.

In fact, he found himself inexplicably comforted by her saying such a thing.

At least now, it seemed like he truly had a place in her heart.

The two shared a moment of tenderness before Li Qing left.

After all, this was a hospital, and it wasn’t proper for Li Qing to openly lie in bed and sleep with Xu Keqing in broad daylight.

In the following days, it was just as Xu Keqing had said.

Lu’s wife came almost daily.

And Xu Keqing would either send messages or call each time.

But Li Qing rejected her each and every time.

A cat that has tasted cream will only crave it more, not less, as time goes by.

Best to keep Lu’s wife’s appetite on a string for now.

When the time comes, even if the self-deceiving veil is pierced, there likely won’t be any issue.

Under that one downpour, the acquisition of Wenguan tender leaves finally began to pick up recently.

Seizing the moment, Li Qing traveled further north, connecting with several villages that relied on the mountains for their livelihood.

Apart from the unreachable dream of becoming village chief, all of Li Qing’s other endeavors were steadily progressing in a positive direction.

At the end of July, the three hottest days of summer were finally coming to an end.

Li Qing walked in flip-flops, his steps kicking and tapping as he made his way to Auntie Caili’s grocery store.

He was ostensibly there to buy water but really wanted to find out if Auntie Caili had any free time these past two days.

Ever since his threesome with Xu Keqing and Mrs. Lu, he hadn’t touched a woman for quite a few days.

Lately, everyone had been so busy that Li Qing couldn’t even find an opportunity to fool around with Tian Yue’e.

During the season of abundant vegetable harvest, that ambitious woman would almost rather spend her nights in the greenhouse.

Li Qing had suggested she stop helping him, but she wouldn’t have it and insisted on finishing all the work.

This forced Li Qing to work day and night to get everything done.

His work had finally come to a temporary halt today.

Han Mei and Tian Yue’e had gone to the county town to sell vegetables, and Li Qing’s heart, quiet for several days, began to stir again.

Under the big willow tree in front of the grocery store, several of the village’s most idle women gathered, chatting idly.

There was Auntie Caili, who watched over the grocery store, Yu Lan, who cared for a vegetable garden at home,

and Yang Xuelan, who, after becoming pregnant, had been forcefully instructed by Gao Li to refrain from doing any work.

All three women had been with Li Qing.

As Li Qing approached, all three women’s gazes softened and turned to look at him.

Yu Lan was bashful, Yang Xuelan’s mouth brimmed with happiness, and Auntie Caili’s eyes flashed with a bright spark.

Li Qing rubbed his face and sat down at the stone table with a serious expression.

"You all really seem to have a lot of time on your hands," Li Qing said with a smile.

"Well, we’re not like you, busy with your own stuff, and still having time for others," Auntie Caili replied with a mischievous laugh.

Li Qing raised an eyebrow, "Auntie, it sounds like there’s a hidden meaning in your words!"

He immediately became alert, worried that some new scandal had emerged in the village.

"What hidden meaning? I’m just joking with you. Tian Yue’e works for you, and you help Tian Yue’e—it’s only natural. Some gossipy women in the village have mouths like they’ve fallen out from under a man’s trousers, but you shouldn’t take it to heart," Auntie Caili said with insinuation.

Li Qing silently cursed, knowing that rumors had started again.

"Speaking of which, Qingzi, do you want me to find you a match? Tian Yue’e is a girl with both looks and figure, those peach blossom eyes send shivers down my spine. It’s just her reputation that’s not so great, but she might not actually be doing those things outside, and since you’re close to her, you should know the details," Auntie Caili said excitedly, her eyes almost shining.

Li Qing gave an awkward laugh, "Auntie Caili, don’t rush into playing matchmaker, I’m not in a hurry!"

"You should be in a hurry. You’re such a young and vigorous lad, don’t you feel anxious without a warm bed to sleep in at night?" Auntie Caili teased, her forthright gaze even casting a glance at Li Qing’s crotch.

"I’m not anxious, not anxious at all," Li Qing repeated, suddenly feeling very embarrassed.

Auntie Caili’s words made Yu Lan shyly lower her head.

Yang Xuelan also kept glancing at Li Qing.

"Look at you, getting all shy, not usually seeing you like this," Auntie Caili laughed, "Alright, if you get the notion, come and tell Auntie. I’ll be a matchmaker for free and make sure everything is well arranged, nice and tidy."

Li Qing kept nodding, looking for an excuse to leave.

With all three of them here, he simply couldn’t find an opportunity to ask Auntie Caili if she had time for a quick one or something of the sort.

Just then, Yu Lan suddenly said, "Qingzi, my family has some land. Do you want to farm it?"
