“What do you mean? You just said I wasn’t a woman! Even if I’m wearing a man’s clothes, I’m still a genuine lady! Besides, women don’t like finding trouble. I think you guys are the ones who are troublesome!”

Li Xiangjun was furious. She angrily stuffed the cloth into Fang Tianliu’s hands. “You can wipe this yourself. I want to see if the blacksmith has made the pot we want!”

“No, wait, let me explain…”

Not only did Li Xiangjun ignore him, but she also quickened her pace.

Fang Tianliu felt that a woman would only cause trouble if they stayed in the house all day long, but she wanted to show him that she was a good shopkeeper! Women were much better at doing work than men.

“Zhao Zhan!” Fang Tianliu scratched his head and couldn’t figure out how he had offended the other party. He went into the backyard and stood in front of Zhao Zhan. “Is your wife also so easily angered? Although she looks rather adorable when she’s angry, I still don’t quite understand why she likes to get angry so much. I even went to find a doctor to ask questions. Anger is bad for the body. Do you think I should buy her some tonic?”

“My wife is never angry.” Zhao Zhan’s expression subconsciously became gentle as he spoke about his lover. “Even if she’s angry, I must have done something wrong. Miss Li must be angry with you because you’ve done something to make her unhappy!”

“Impossible!” Fang Tianliu immediately denied it. “I was speaking the truth just now. Could it be that she likes those despicable people who speak full of lies? If that’s the case, what should we do?”

Zhao Zhan immediately shook his head. “I don’t think you’re right.”

“Why?”

“Because my wife likes Miss Li,” Zhao Zhan said, unable to hold back a smile. “The people my wife likes are definitely good people.”

Fang Tianliu was speechless.

He had lost.

“Zhao Zhan,” Fang Tianliu did not care about his image as he casually stuffed his clothes into his arms and squatted in front of Zhao Zhan. “I see that Xiangjun also likes your wife quite a bit. Can you ask your wife to help me ask around? Just ask if she’s willing to marry me. My mother told me since I was young that many girls are thin-skinned and told me not to casually tease others. Do you think that she’s too fond of me, but because of the shyness of a girl, she will never say it? Why else would she treat me so specially?”

Zhao Zhan’s intuition told him he was wrong. However, he didn’t know what the girl was thinking, so he tried to ask another question, “What’s so special about her?”

It was a good time to listen so that he could tell Jiaojiao about it when he returned home later.

After all, it seemed like she liked to hear about such things.

Hearing Zhao Zhan’s question, Fang Tianliu immediately perked up and gestured with his eyebrows raised.

“Today, when I was drawing water from the well, I could draw half a bucket of water every time. After that, Xiangjun felt bad for me and asked me to leave, so she filled the bucket to the brim at once, worried that there wouldn’t be enough water. She was afraid that it would be hard for me to get it again.

“Also, when we were cleaning in the front hall today, we first carried a basin of water and splashed it on the ground. My hand that was carrying the water trembled and accidentally dropped the bucket. Xiangjun’s heart ached so much that she carried a few basins and splashed them on the ground for me.”

“Tianliu…” Zhao Zhan looked at him in disbelief, “You can’t even do the work of drawing water and splashing water, and you still want Miss Li to do it?”

“Wasn’t it because her heart ached for me that she didn’t let me do it? No matter how much my mother loves my father, she has never personally done such physical work!”

“If it was me, I would not bear to let my wife do it.”

“That’s because you’re capable and I’m not as strong as you. That’s why her heart aches for me!”

The more Fang Tianliu thought about it, the more he felt that it was the case. He hurriedly said, “Now that I think about it, I must have done something wrong to make her angry just now. I’ll go to the blacksmith shop to look for her.”
