Spring plowing was about to begin …
Mi Xaing 'er planned to work hard!
Although it was only seven cents a day, this was money that no one would pick up if it fell on the road in the 21st century. But now, it was her livelihood. If she wanted to live a good life, she had to take it one step at a time.
Don't suffer?
Wait for a pie to fall from the sky?
Definitely not!
What about Sun Weiyu?
Her thoughts were the exact opposite!
She was usually lazy and slick!
Her personal ideal lifestyle was … to not have to carry anything on her shoulders and hands. She also had a group of people to wait on her. She wanted to return to the days before liberation and be a landowner's daughter.
What a pity!
A young lady's body and a servant's life.
Fate was not good!
Once she became an authentic farmer, she had to work in the fields. Moreover, the person working in the fields … was Mi Xaing 'er, who she hated the most. How could she feel comfortable?
She dawdled out of the village committee. When she reached the ridge of the paddy field, she bent down and tested the temperature of the paddy field … The early spring was still cool, so the water temperature was naturally not high.
Sun Weiyu pursed her lips …
She made up her mind. Whoever wants to do the work can do it. In any case, she was not going to go into the water.
She looked around and purposely fell behind the others. When she saw that Mi Xaing 'er and Lu Yue had already gone into the field and were bending down to plant the seedlings, she rolled up her trousers and pretended to go into the field. The moment she took a step into the field, she deliberately fell with a loud thud. Everyone in the field heard it.
Lu Yue hurriedly turned around. "What happened?"
Sun Weiyu sat on the ground and did not get up. She cried out, "Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Sister-in-law, I sprained my ankle! "
Lu Yue frowned and whispered to Mi Xaing 'er, "Did you see that? She's a dog! She hasn't even gone into the field and she's already acting? "
Mi Xaing 'er did not say anything … Who wouldn't understand Sun Weiyu's self-righteous little tricks? She would only be looked down upon by the entire village.
As expected …
Someone in the field laughed awkwardly and shouted without any scruples, "Weiyu, the village chief just said this morning … we're not allowed to pretend to be sick. Why are you doing this again?"
Sun Weiyu put one hand on her waist and said, "I really sprained it! It was too slippery and I couldn't stand still! This is a serious work-related injury. Who dares to say that I'm faking it? Do any of you have evidence? "
Evidence?
Was there a need for evidence?
Looking at how confident she was … it didn't seem like she had sprained her ankle at all.
Lu Yue deliberately put her on the spot. "Weiyu, even if you sprain your ankle, it won't affect your work. Do it slowly, okay? Sister-in-law won't pick you! "
Sun Weiyu's eyelids drooped. "No, I can't even stand up, let alone work!"
Xu Dongsheng heard the commotion and walked over slowly with his hands behind his back. "What's going on?"
"Hmm?" Sun Weiyu felt a little guilty. He didn't even dare to raise his head and spoke in a soft voice, "I … sprained my ankle!"
"Really? How can it be such a coincidence? In the past, your mom always suffered from work-related injuries. If she didn't cut her leg with a sickle, she would fall down and eat mud. Why are both of you the same? "
Xu Dongsheng said in a rough voice, "Weiyu, you're just a little kid. Why can't you be a little more shameless? Learn a little more? You usually only talk about eating, drinking, and showing off. You're always scheming and thinking about taking advantage of others! It's not that I want to nag at you, but with your looks, you won't even be able to find a husband! "
Wouldn't an ordinary girl be embarrassed to death when he put it this way?
Sun Weiyu, on the other hand!
It was as if she didn't hear him … She was still as calm as ever.
She was completely shameless!
What could Xu Dongsheng do?
He couldn't possibly force her to get off the bed, right?
He waved his hand hatefully. "Get lost! Don't hang around in front of me. I'm annoyed just by looking at you! "
Sun Weiyu asked hypocritically, "Well, is it okay … if I … go home?"
Xu Dongsheng snorted coldly. "There's nothing wrong with that! Just one sentence, three work points will be deducted! "
Sun Weiyu didn't care either!
She was sure that she had food and drinks at home and was waiting for others to take care of her!
She pretended to stand up with difficulty, twisted her waist … and limped away.
The village chief stood on the ridge and said loudly, "Everyone, listen up! We can't delay the production. Whoever can work for her will get three full work points! "
Three full work points?
Mi Xaing 'er immediately raised her hand. "Me!"
She had her own considerations … She had just separated from the family and didn't have a single cent in cash. If she didn't put in some effort and just relied on others to help her, she wouldn't be able to swallow her pride and do that!
Xu Dongsheng frowned. "You? You can work until night time on your own land? How are you going to work for others? "
Mi Xaing 'er smiled, her eyes curved into crescents. "Anyway, I'll just work more! If I can't complete the task, don't give me any money! "
She didn't say much.
She lowered her head and started working.
Xu Dongsheng shook his head and muttered softly, "Stubborn! You're just like your mother! "
Lu Yue walked to Mi Xaing 'er's side. "Xiang' er, are you really going to work for Sun Weiyu? Are you short of money? "
She pondered for a moment. "Even so … you can't damage your body! Sister-in-law, work faster. When I'm done here, I'll help you with the planting! Hm? "
Mi Xaing 'er smiled politely. "No need! I can do it myself! "
Lu Yue didn't say much. She covered her eyes with one hand and said, "Today's weather … is really good!"
From afar, she saw Yun Jingting leading a group of soldiers to work in the fields. "Hey, Xiang 'er, have you noticed? In the past … Head Of Yun only appeared in our village on the day of harvesting the seedlings! This year, he's here to plant the seedlings! And he's with the Military Commissar. I don't know what the higher-ups are talking about. Could it be that … our Four Circles Village is especially important? "
Mi Xaing 'er straightened her back and followed her line of sight … Yun Laohu's tall and straight back was like a colorful oil painting under the spring morning sun.
Time passed in a flash …
When Mi Xaing 'er first planted the seedlings, she was indeed a little unfamiliar with it. Fortunately, she was smart and hardworking. Slowly, she grasped the knack of it and her movements became faster. Other than some aches and pains in her back and legs, as well as a chill in the soles of her feet, she really felt that she could hold on for a while.
In the blink of an eye, it was noon.
The sun was shining brightly and the sky was blue. With a long whistle, the people in the fields began their lunch break. They pulled down their pants and went ashore … They either leaned against the trees or leaned against the ridges in the fields, eating lunch and chatting.
Mi Xaing 'er also took a break. The moment she sat down, she felt that her back was about to break. Without anyone noticing, she bared her teeth …
Lu Yue asked softly, "Xiang 'er, how do you feel?"
"I'm fine!"
"Can you still hold on?"
"Yes!"
Even if she couldn't hold on, she had to hold on!
Old Madam Wu, who was sitting opposite her, said, "Xiang 'er, did you really split up with your stepmother? It's good that you split up! You can make your own decisions in the future! "
Mi Xaing 'er glanced at her. She had the original owner's memories in her mind.
This Old Madam Wu was called Wu Lirong. Although she was only in her fifties, everyone called her Old Madam Wu because she was a matchmaker.
There was no one in the surrounding villages that she didn't know … She would hang around all day long and act as a matchmaker. According to the market price at that time, if they were a couple, she could get three dollars. This was a big income, so Wu Lirong worked especially hard.
She saw that Mi Xaing 'er was now alone. She was a beautiful 18-year-old girl and had a gentle personality … Although she didn't come from a good family, as long as she wasn't picky, finding a man would not be a problem.
She coughed lightly. "Xiang 'er, let me introduce you to …"
Suddenly, she heard a man's voice behind her. "Oh, what are you guys talking about?"
