They reached their destination while they chatted. Li Wazi said, “See you later,” and went to weed in his family’s own paddy field.

Ye Mo saw that half of the weeds were still there. He took off his cloth shoes, rolled up his pants and the sleeves of his shirt, and he prepared to go down to the field.

“You just stay here and guard my shoes. Don’t disappear.” He entered the paddy field after he finished speaking.

Liu Duo looked at Ye Mo’s back and became suspicious. Did his character really change? He doesn’t want me to work and pull out the weeds? He just wants me to guard these cloth shoes that no one wants?

She couldn’t figure it out, so she decided to not think about it. She had never planned to enter the paddy field anyway. Liu Duo sat at the side and looked at the people and everything else around her.

Ye Mo, who was busy weeding, just simply wanted Liu Duo to be with him. He had come around to the thing that happened last time. If she didn’t want to work, then she wouldn’t need to. He would just have to do more.

“Sister Chunmei, are you almost finished with weeding your family’s paddy field?

“Yeah, there is only one small patch left.”

Li Chunmei headed there while speaking to a girl.

“Hmm. Who is that girl? Sitting there idly. Doesn’t she need to help her family with their work?” The girl felt puzzled.

Li Chunmei looked and saw that it was Liu Duo. She said, with a hateful look on her face, ” Xiaoling, that is the shared wife that Big Brother Mo’s family bought. She’s called Liu Duo. She’s both lazy and a spendthrift. She doesn’t even have any manners…”

Li Chunmei told Xiaoling an exaggerated version of what had happened the day before.

“What? Then didn’t they lose a lot of money buying such a shared wife back home? Ye Mo and his brothers are so unlucky.” Xiaoling looked at Liu Duo with contempt and felt pity for Ye Mo and his brothers.

Although Li Chunmei lowered her voice, Xiaoling’s voice wasn’t quiet. She was one of those people who naturally talked very loudly. Her words drifted into Liu Duo’s ears.

Liu Duo heard someone talk about her so she turned her head to look. When she saw Li Chunmei, Liu Duo smiled. That smile was invisible to anyone who did not look very closely at the corner of her mouth.

Li Chunmei, ha…

She cast a glance at the two of them, turned away, and continued to look at the scenery and the people who were doing manual labor.

“Let’s stop talking. Come. We will chat later. We need to finish the work in the paddy fields.” Liu Duo’s glance made Li Chunmei’s heart tense up.

“That’s also fine. I don’t like her at all. Sister Chunmei, you should also stay away from her.” Xiaoling headed towards her family’s paddy field after she finished speaking.

Li Chunmei nodded and also went to her family’s paddy field.

Liu Duo muttered, as she looked at their backs, These two silly girls. Are they here to make me laugh? Don’t like me?

She shook her head. There was no lack of people who were full of themselves, no matter where she went!

Li Chunmei got down into the paddy field and said sweetly to Ye Mo, “Big Brother Mo, is Big Brother Ling better?”

Ye Mo was busy weeding. He didn’t even lift his head and answered coolly, with a single word. “Yeah.”

There were only weeds left in one small patch of land in her family’s paddy field. It wasn’t long before she finished weeding.

She saw Liu Duo just sitting there and not coming over to help. There was still one-third of the weeds left in Ye Mo’s paddy field that hadn’t been removed.

Li Chunmei went over to Ye Mo’s paddy field. “Big Brother Mo, I’ve finished with the weeds in my family’s paddy field. I’ll help you. This way, you will be able to plant some rice sooner.”

“Doing it by yourself will take a long time. I don’t see the people who are idling coming to help.” Li Chunmei spoke with Ye Mo while helping with the weeding. She didn’t even care whether he agreed to her offer to help.

Of course, Ye Mo knew who she was talking about. He lifted his head and looked at Liu Duo. She was still sitting there quietly, not moving at all.

He lowered his head and saw black mud all over his hands and feet. He felt that it was correct for her to not come and help. Her white skin shouldn’t come in contact with black mud.
