Chapter 1702 Building a Pigsty

Qiao Mei was beautiful and always dressed well, so everyone always forgot that Qiao Mei was actually a girl from the countryside. The thing was that when it came to building a pigsty, even women like them, who came from the countryside and were familiar with farm work, might not necessarily be able to do it.

Building a pigsty was a tedious job. It involved the laying of sewer pipes, the construction of the pig trough and the reconnection of the water pipes. These were not things that just anyone could do, even among the men.

Everyone thought that Qiao Mei was joking. They did not expect to really see Qiao Mei rolling up her sleeves and working in the backyard in the afternoon.

"Oh my goodness... Qiao Mei is too capable..." Liu Yun sighed.

"It's really rare to see such a good wife. That Xia kid is so lucky," Wang Nuo said.

"At first, I thought that Qiao Mei married well, but now it seems that it's that kid who has a good eye! Such a capable woman will do well no matter which family she marries into!" Zhang Cai said solemnly.

Everyone had an even better impression of Qiao Mei by now. They now firmly believed that Qiao Mei was from the countryside and was one of them!

"Can't it be that I have nothing to do? Besides, these chores aren't too dangerous. Since you're here, help me build the roof for the pigsty. I dare not climb up for fear of falling down," Qiao Mei said.

Xia Zhe reached out and poked Qiao Mei's forehead as he said disdainfully, "So you know how dangerous it is! I thought you don't know anything and only know how to act recklessly!"

"Of course I know it's dangerous~ I also know that my husband can help me settle such things!" Qiao Mei held Xia Zhe's hand and said coquettishly.

Xia Zhe was defenseless whenever Qiao Mei acted this way. As long as Qiao Mei gave him this look, he would forget all about his principles. Even if she wanted someone's life, perhaps he would only hesitate for a moment before thinking of a way to fulfill her wish.

Then again, Qiao Mei was not a vixen who harmed others. She still had morals.

Xia Zhe rolled up his sleeves and started to build the roof. As soon as he climbed up, he came back down again. He looked at Qiao Mei hesitantly and said, "Why don't I do this after a few days? Aren't I still 'injured' at the moment?"

"Oh my! How can I have forgotten about this! Then don't worry about it. Go back into the house!" Qiao Mei made a big show of helping Xia Zhe back into the house.

Liu Yun looked at the couple curiously. Xia Zhe was fine just now, so why did he start limping in the blink of an eye?

"Qiao Mei! Is your husband alright! I have medicine for bruises and injuries at home! Do you need it!" Liu Yun shouted towards Qiao Mei's courtyard.
