Chapter 28

“Chunxiu is the village chief’s daughter, so Dad has always asked us to be polite to her…” Lan Hui said hypocritically, then sighed. “Why don’t we forget it? I really don’t mind if it means we can keep the harmony at home.”

“So what if she’s Village Chief Zhao’s daughter? Since she’s here, she has to abide by our family’s rules! If I don’t teach her a lesson, she’ll ride on my head one day! I can’t even bear to scold you, so what right does she have to scold you? I’m not dead yet, but she already thinks she’s the head of this family?”

The more Guang Ying spoke, the angrier she became. She had always doted on Lan Hui and had a strong desire to control this family. Under Lan Hui’s instigation, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She immediately decided to go back and teach Chunxiu a lesson.

Having achieved her goal of complaining, Lan Hui hugged Guang Ying’s arm and said coquettishly, “Mother, you’re still the best to me. I love you the most…”

Lan Hui felt glad about getting reborn.

She was now the most prestigious girl in the village and also the most beloved daughter of her parents. As long as she could get Wei Luan, she could change her fate and achieve the most blissful ending.

…

In the wheat field, Wei Luan threw the last bundle of wheat to the side, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and heaved a sigh of relief.

“Wei Luan, where are you going?” Ergou asked curiously when he saw Wei Luan leaving without resting after finishing his work.

Wei Luan did not even turn his head. “To the cotton field.”

After Wei Luan arrived at the cotton field, he quickly found Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was wearing an airtight plastic suit, and a mask was wrapped around her mouth and nose.

Lin Yi was carrying a pesticide barrel that was half the height of Lin Yi on her back.

Wei Luan immediately walked over to Lin Yi and said, “Give it to me, and I’ll help you.”

Lin Yi thought she was hallucinating when she heard Wei Luan’s voice.

It was not even noon yet. Wei Luan had his own work to do. Why was he here?

“What are you doing here?”

“Don’t worry about that, give it to me!” Wei Luan felt that Lin Yi’s voice was not as clear and pleasant as usual. He felt guilty and felt that Lin Yi had to work so hard because he was useless.

Lin Yi looked at the serious expression on the man’s face and felt a little dissatisfied. She pointed at the cotton field that she had just sprayed with pesticide and said, “I’m doing pretty well. Look, Auntie Liu even said that I’ve improved a lot.”

In the past, Lin Yi was always lazy when it came to work. After the inspection, the production team would often criticize her. When Lin Yi saw Wei Luan’s solemn expression, she immediately thought that Wei Luan despised her for being too lousy at work. He was afraid that she would be criticized by the production team and embarrass him.

Wei Luan panicked when he heard Lin Yi’s words.

Did anyone care about improvement?

She should not be doing such hard work. Her fair and tender hands should be used for holding needles and thread to embroider. He should be doing all the heavy lifting.

“You don’t have to do it. I’ll do it. Go back and rest,” Wei Luan said as he impatiently untied the pesticide belt around Lin Yi’s waist.

“Wei Luan, are you looking down on me? I am not the kind of person who can’t take hardship. Do you have to despise me?!” Lin Yi’s voice was filled with anger.

Today, she carefully asked Auntie Liu how to spray pesticides. After getting started, Aunt Liu even praised her for doing very well. When Wei Luan came just now, she happily showed him the results of her work, but this man did not even look at her. He even asked her to stop working. He was too lazy to hide his disdain.

Wei Luan was stunned. “Who said anything about looking down on you? Who said so?”

“You did!” Lin Yi pointed at Wei Luan angrily.

After Lin Yi transmigrated, she quickly accepted reality. She decided to integrate herself into this era and live a good life with Wei Luan. Since she had replaced Lin Yi, she had to take responsibility for that girl’s life.

Lin Yi was not afraid of hardship or fatigue. She would not run away from what she needed to do, and she could slowly learn what she did not know.

She also believed that she could do these things well.

But now, her efforts were not seen by Wei Luan. This man was even afraid that she would embarrass him. This was too much!

Even if he did not like her, there was no need to do this!

Hearing Lin Yi’s hoarse voice, Wei Luan panicked. He was sorry for Lin Yi, but at the same time, he was confused. He did not understand why Lin Yi misunderstood him.
