The next day.
Having agreed with Director Niu that she would go to Blackwater Pond to farm without disrupting production, Yu Lian was full of enthusiasm.
I finished work an hour earlier than usual and went to Blackwater Pool by myself.
She wasn't afraid of Chen Xiaotian coming again.
He is still lying in bed, running a high fever and unconscious.
Yu Lian would not feel any pity for someone like him; she would prefer him to be burned to death to rid the people of this scourge.
Yesterday, she immediately realized that Chen Xiaotian must have been plotting something against her.
Sure enough, this kind of man only behaves when he's hung on the wall.
Putting aside all distractions, she first fetched some water, then mixed the water from the kettle with the spiritual spring water and carefully watered every inch of the land.
After watering once, plant the corn seeds you brought in the hole.
To prevent some nests from failing to sprout, she separately cultivated a small patch of seeds in another area. If, a month later, some nests encountered bad seeds or were eaten by birds, these seeds could be used to replant them.
In the past two days, she has found a lot of jade while working.
This area must be a jade-producing region, but it hasn't been discovered yet.
She put all the jade pieces she found into her spatial storage, thinking they would be useful in the future.
Looking at the results of her nearly two hours of work, Yu Lian put her hands on her hips, looked around with satisfaction, and then turned to leave.
Unexpectedly, as he turned around, he bumped into a hard chest.
He immediately recognized who the man was.
He Linwu spoke up, "Sorry I didn't scare you, did I? I wanted to help you..."
Yu Lian patted his hand, "It's okay, let's go back."
The two walked one after the other on the ridge of the field.
After hesitating for a while, He Lin finally spoke up, "You don't need to work so hard. I'll take care of it from now on."
If he could, he would certainly prefer to have some peace and quiet, but this would be completely impossible for He Lin.
"You don't know how to farm, so I'll do it. Once we get production up and running, Director Niu won't make things difficult for the family anymore."
It's all for the He family again.
He Lin still can't understand whether her actions were really okay in such turbulent times.
"Actually, you don't have to come. If you feel bad about it, you can just send some supplies over occasionally."
Yu Lian scoffed. Sure enough, men are obsessed with saving face. If she hadn't come, who knows what a miserable state the He family would be in now.
"He Lin, stop saying such chauvinistic things. You should back down when you need to. Don't think it's shameful for a woman to support you. Otherwise, what girl will like you in the future?"
"What do you mean?"
Yu Lian quietly covered her mouth, "What I meant was... just the literal meaning."
"Don't say things like that again. Since you don't intend to abandon the He family, I won't divorce you."
His point was that this way, he wouldn't need other girls to like him.
Yu Lian didn't think that way. After she had spent the last two years with the He family, she would go back and file for divorce, since He Lin didn't like her anyway.
Now that his sister is cured, he has repaid most of his debt of gratitude, so naturally he should set her free.
She didn't take He Lin's words seriously, thinking it was normal to say such things in this kind of environment.
He won't think that way anymore once he goes back.
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you and won't say it again, alright?"
"Um."
The two walked back to the farm, one after the other.
I thought everyone was taking a quiet lunch break at this time, but who would have thought a jeep would pull up at the gate?
Director Niu, dressed formally, walked to the door and warmly shook hands with the man.
"Director Xing, you've finally arrived! Now my workload is finally light."
The middle-aged woman, whom Director Niu addressed as Director Xing, nodded slightly. Her expression was serious, completely at odds with Director Niu's smiling face, making those who saw her feel somewhat awkward.
However, Director Niu didn't mind and invited the person inside.
"Hey! Li Mengyao, who is that?"
Li Mengyao walked with her head down, unaware that there were other people beside her.
"Oh, the work of the farm's Revolutionary Committee is no longer under Director Niu's responsibility; it's been handed over to Director Xing, who was recently sent from above. I've heard that this Director Xing is impervious to reason, ruthless and decisive, and firmly upholds the policies from above. She won't open any back doors, so your in-laws are going to suffer."
Li Mengyao's words struck Yu Lian like a thunderbolt. She had finally managed to improve the He family's political standing on the farm.
Why did they change the person all of a sudden?
Li Mengyao left, and Yu Lian followed her slowly back to the dormitory.
This is terrible. She had finally managed to bring about a significant change in the He family's circumstances, but now that the leadership has been changed, isn't this just undone all her previous efforts?
He noticed that the woman beside him had a pale face.
He Lin said clumsily, "It's okay, I'm not afraid."
Seeing that no one was around, Yu Lian boldly took his arm.
"Rin is so brave~"
The next moment, he froze, and Yu Lian, who sensed the change in his body, laughed wildly.
This man was a bit too naive. "Okay, I'm not teasing you anymore. It's not about whether you're scared or not. What would happen if someone else did that? You're an adult with self-respect. Being dragged onto the stage and treated like that, it breaks my heart just watching it."
"Hmm, I don't mind."
Yu Lian nodded at the man's clumsy attempt at comforting her, and said no more.
Back in the dormitory, I saw my son sitting there motionless.
Noticing the noise outside, he turned around and saw his mother. He ran over excitedly.
"Mom! Grandma and Auntie are gone!" He rubbed his eyes, as if he had just woken up.
The place that used to have a bed is now empty, clean and tidy, with a small bed that looks like it was just made recently.
Yu Lian immediately understood that they must have moved to the small storage room.
"Oh, Auntie also said that Dad will live with us from now on. Dad will sleep with Mom, and I'll have my own little bed. We've even moved his blankets over."
"Yes, it's fine." She picked up her son and went back into the house.
"Has An'an eaten yet?"
"We've eaten, Mom and Dad will eat too."
He removed the small enamel basin from the stove and left them some cornbread and stewed cabbage with tofu.
This looks like cafeteria food.
"Eat up, then rest for a while. You must be tired from all the heavy work today."
After taking a couple of bites of the steamed buns, Yu Lian put down her chopsticks. "I'm full. You can eat the rest."
He Lin didn't say much and finished the rest of the food by himself.
"I'll go see if Mom and Dad are ready. You take the kids and rest first."
Without waiting for his agreement, she left the cabin.
When she got to the small storage room, she found that her parents and sister had already gone to bed, and the two partitioned rooms had been tidied up, leaving her no room to turn around.
Left with no other choice, He Lin had to return the way he came.
Are they really going to sleep together tonight?
We've slept together before, but that was always when we weren't fully awake.
He Lin closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, realizing he was overthinking things.
It's normal for couples to sleep in the same bed.
