Zhou Yu put the firewood away and came over with a knife. He then hung the rabbit on the rack by the well. Wen Li carefully noted down his steps so she could do it herself next time.

"Wow, Zhou Zhiqing, you caught a wild rabbit?" Niu Zhaodi's eyes lit up instantly when she saw Zhou Yu processing the wild rabbit as soon as she returned. The last time they ate meat was the wild boar meat they had shared before!

"No, Wen, the educated youth, had someone switch them!"

Niu Zhaodi's smile froze on her face, and a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes.

"Wen, you didn't even fire with us, how can you have the nerve to ask Zhou to help you deal with the rabbits?"

Wen Li looked at Niu Zhaodi with a strange expression, somewhat confused by her thought process. "Niu Zhiqing, my asking Zhou Zhiqing for help doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, does it?"

Zhou Yu glanced at Niu Zhaodi with displeasure, then looked away. He had been there for so long and knew the character of these people, which was why he didn't want to talk to them.

"What do you mean it's okay? You just think Zhou is honest and want to bully honest people, don't you?"

Seeing that Niu Zhaodi's words were becoming increasingly outrageous, Zhou Yu broke his silence. "Niu, we're all educated youth, just helping each other out with small things. Wen, the educated youth, didn't bully me!"

Zhou Yu originally thought that after explaining, Niu Zhaodi would stop talking nonsense, but to his surprise, Niu Zhaodi became even angrier!

"I'm talking nonsense? Are you like those other people, having taken a liking to her?"

Wen Li initially thought Niu Zhaodi was jealous of her eating meat, but then she realized that Niu Zhaodi actually liked Zhou Yu!

Zhou Yu, blushing with embarrassment after being reprimanded by Niu Zhaodi, roared, "Niu, I'm helping Wen out of kindness, don't you dare ruin my reputation!"

"You... I never noticed how kind you were before. You suddenly became so helpful as soon as she arrived. And you still say you weren't?"

Zhou Yu was not good with words to begin with, and Niu Zhaodi's unreasonable nagging almost gave him a heart attack!

Wen Li glanced at Zhou Yu, confirming that Zhou Yu had no feelings for Niu Zhaodi, and looked up at the sky speechlessly. What sins had she committed to ask someone to help kill a rabbit, and she ended up encountering this extraordinary person?

"Young Niu, you've misunderstood. I just don't know how to kill a rabbit, and there was no one else in the educated youth compound. Luckily, Young Zhou came back first, so I asked him for help. Besides, I didn't intend to ask him for help for nothing!"

Wen Li's words finally calmed Niu Zhaodi down a bit, but when she saw Zhou Yu's annoyed look, she was still hurt and ran away crying.

This incident left Zhou Yu in an awkward position.

"I'm...I'm sorry, I don't know what's wrong with her, I...I didn't mean it that way!"

Wen Li smiled and waved her hand, "This has nothing to do with you. I'm sorry to have to trouble you with this today!"

Seeing that Wen Li wasn't angry, Zhou Yu continued skinning the rabbit.

After cleaning the rabbit, Wen Li took it back and made the stir-fried rabbit that she had been craving. She cooked for three people, and when Chen Yan and Qi Jun returned, Wen Li invited them over to eat at her place.

Wen Li ladled out an extra bowl, saying, "Qi, Zhou helped me kill the rabbit today. Take this bowl to Zhou!"

"Okay, I'll go right now!"

At that moment, everyone in the front yard was eating. When they saw Qi Jun carrying a bowl of fragrant food over, they all stopped what they were doing.

Qi Jun explained the reason, and Zhou Yu accepted Wen Li's thanks. It was just a normal favor, so he readily accepted the rabbit meat.

Seeing that Wen Li was somewhat sensible, Niu Zhaodi's resentment finally dissipated a little.

As soon as Qi Jun left, Zhou Yu took his bowl back to his room. It was a rare treat to have meat, and he didn't want to share it with anyone else.

After having lunch, Wen Li went to the river to wash clothes. She usually washed clothes in her spatial dimension, but it wouldn't make sense not to wash them all the time, so she had to make an appearance.

Arriving at the riverbank, it was lunchtime, and there was no one there.

Wen Li washed for a while, then heard light footsteps behind her. At first, she thought someone else was washing clothes like her.

But the footsteps were very soft, as if they had disturbed something. Before she could turn around, she saw a person's reflection in the water.

The man was raising his hand to push her when Wen Li pretended not to notice, tilted her body, and pretended that her leg was numb as she stretched out her foot.

With a "splash," a girl was seen splashing around in the water.

The water in the river is not very deep, so even if a girl can't swim, she won't drown.

Before Wen Li could call for help, she saw a man's figure rush out from behind her and jump directly into the water.

Immediately afterwards, cries for help rang out, "Help! Someone has fallen into the water!"

"Help! Someone has fallen into the water!"

Wen Li stood up, crossed her arms, and quietly watched the two people struggling in the water.

The man is Er Laizi, a notorious old bachelor in the village, and the woman is He Juan, one of Jiang Yue'er's henchmen and He Qiang's sister.

She hadn't even made a move yet, and these people couldn't wait to strike again. It seems they won't stop until they ruin themselves!

"Ah~ Let me go!"

After He Juan fell into the water, her foot hit a rock. Before she could react, she was pulled into the arms of a man who smelled terrible.

When He Juan saw Er Laizi's face, she almost vomited. She struggled desperately, trying to break free from Er Laizi, but Er Laizi had been a bachelor for so many years, how could he easily let go of the wife he had finally won over?

He saw that the person who fell into the water was not Wen Zhiqing, but he still jumped in without hesitation. Wasn't it all for the sake of getting a wife?

Summer clothes are thin, and as He Juan struggled, her buttons popped open, revealing her white waist underneath.

Erlaizi held He Juan's hand in one hand and immediately touched her with the other. The delicate and smooth feel of her skin almost made Erlaizi lose control.

At this moment, those who heard the cries for help ran over.

He Qiang and his group were the first to arrive. When they saw Wen Li standing safely by the river, He Qiang almost had a mental breakdown.

What are you doing here?

"I was washing clothes here when your sister suddenly had a meltdown and jumped into the river, but was saved by Erlaizi who happened to be passing by!"

Wen Li's main tactic is to speak first and then claim she's right; after all, He Juan just jumped into the river herself.

"You're talking nonsense!" He Qiang's eyes widened in fury. "How could my sister possibly jump into the river?"

Wen Li looked at He Qiang strangely, "You, as her brother, don't even know why your sister jumped into the river, how could I possibly know?"

When the people who arrived heard that He Juan had jumped into the river, they all began to blame Hu Xiaocao.

"Little Grass, your He Juan likes that Zhu boy, so just let her marry him! Look at the mess you've made now, your He Juan can only marry that scoundrel!"

Hu Xiaocao also thought He Juan really wanted to jump into the river, so she immediately cried and pulled her out of the river.

After Erlaizi came up, he held He Juan tightly, worried that she might be exposed.

He Qiang immediately took off his clothes and wrapped them around He Juan, then pushed away Er Laizi, who was grinning broadly.

Erlaizi wasn't angry; he figured he hadn't lost out on this trip anyway.

Hu Xiaocao hit He Juan hard with her hands, "You brat, why did you have to be so stupid?"

He Juan knew she was doomed. Overwhelmed with emotion, she fainted.
