"Xiaxia? What brings you here?" Zhou Laidi, with her sharp eyes, spotted Jiang Anxia as she looked up.

"I've come to bring you water." Jiang Anxia carried the water bottle and swayed it slightly.

“Okay, just leave it under that tree, we’ll be there in a bit.” Zhou Laidi looked around, and she was the only one in the house who saw Xiaxia arrive.

The others were still digging the ground diligently.

“Okay.” Jiang Anxia nodded obediently. She walked to the tree Zhou Laidi had mentioned, put down the basket and water bottle she was carrying, and then looked around.

"Mom, look, that's Jiang Anxia." Under a tree not far away, Liu Jianlin pointed to Jiang Anxia and introduced her to Huang Meihua.

"My goodness, this little girl is really pretty." Huang Meihua had heard her son say that the girl was pretty. She thought she was just a little prettier than others, but she never expected that she was much prettier!

Look at that exposed skin, so white it's dazzling. A face the size of a palm, big eyes, small lips—those lips are as white as if coated with honey, absolutely gorgeous.

Now she sits obediently under the tree, looking like a tiny little bundle.

"Son, this little girl might not be easy to raise! Look at her small frame." She's pretty, but Huang Meihua, who is known for her critical nature, still has to be picky.

When it comes to procreation, what does good looks matter? She wouldn't let the Liu family line die out.

"Mom, she's only seventeen. Let her grow up a bit more." Liu Jianlin was already hatching his own plan.

As long as he wins over Jiang Anxia and gets engaged, there's no rush to marry her. He can just stay at her house and raise her until she's fully recovered.

It has to be said that Liu Jianlin was far too confident. He didn't consider whether the other party would refuse; instead, he was thinking about what would happen if the other party agreed.

"Alright!" Upon hearing her son's words, Huang Meihua immediately realized what he meant.

He truly is Huang Meihua's son; he's just like her—intelligent.

Sitting under the tree, Jiang Anxia felt two intense gazes fixed on her, and they became increasingly brazen.

She turned her head and was instantly struck by how ugly her eyes were.

Under a tree not far away, two people were standing; they were the ones looking at her.

A man and a woman. The man looked to be in his twenties, with squinty eyes, a flat nose, sausage lips, and a round face. He seemed to be about the same height as her.

The man was looking at her with a calculating expression, and Jiang Anxia immediately added him to her blacklist.

It wasn't about appearance, but the ill intent in that person's eyes and the expression on their face that seemed to suggest they were up to something.

The woman, who looked to be in her forties or fifties, looked remarkably like the man; they appeared to be mother and son.

This definition can be made based solely on appearance.

Because the man had the same face as the woman; the only difference between them was that one was a man and the other a woman.

Jiang Anxia withdrew her gaze and stopped looking at them.

When Jiang Anxia looked over, Liu Jianlin subconsciously puffed out his chest and raised his chin arrogantly.

Little did he know that this small action would expose the flaws of his short and thick neck.

In Liu Jianlin's view, Jiang Anxia had been looking at him for so long, so she must have a crush on him. As long as he went to hang around in front of Jiang Anxia again, winning her over would be just around the corner.

Thinking about this, Liu Jianlin felt a strong urge to get married, have children, and have a warm bed as soon as possible.

He was daydreaming in his mind, but his face was beaming with joy.

“Honey, let’s go home. We can talk about the rest tomorrow, okay?” Huang Meihua looked at her grinning son and suddenly felt a surge of disgust, but she quickly suppressed it and asked her son as if nothing had happened.

“Okay, let’s go home.” Liu Jianlin nodded in agreement.

He must be tired after being out for so long, he should go back and rest first!

The two took one last look at Jiang Anxia before turning and leaving.

Jiang Anxia breathed a sigh of relief when the annoying gaze disappeared.

Turning around, I saw that the two people were already gone.

She was afraid that if the two continued watching, she wouldn't be able to resist stepping forward and giving each of them a large brush.

After all, the purposeful look in those two people's eyes was really unpleasant.

"Xiaxia, what are you looking at?" Jiang Zhuohua put the hoe aside and sat down next to Jiang Anxia.

"I saw two people," Jiang Anxia replied softly, withdrawing her gaze.

"You know them?" Jiang Zhuohua asked curiously.

What kind of person could attract Xiaxia's attention?

"I don't know them." Jiang Anxia shook her head slightly; she really didn't know the two people.

She noticed the two men because their gazes were too direct.

"What does he look like? What if Big Brother recognizes him?" Jiang Zhuohua was even more curious now.

"Hmm...round face, small eyes, thick lips, and what looks like a big black mole on her left cheek." Jiang Anxia recalled, then confirmed her words, "That's exactly it."

"This face looks so familiar," Jiang's mother said, pondering as she approached.

Especially that big black mole, it looks very familiar, but I just can't remember it!

“I think I vaguely remember that!” Father Jiang also seemed to be deep in thought.

"Isn't this the daughter-in-law of the Liu family?" Zhou Laidi's mind raced as she remembered the person she had seen not long ago.

"Yes! It's her." Father Jiang nodded in sudden realization.

He said that the description of his appearance was very familiar.

"Why is the Liu family so persistent?" Mother Jiang rolled her eyes.

Seeing that the Jiang family disagreed, he ran straight back to the brigade, ready to take action himself.

"Xiaxia, from now on, avoid them whenever you see them, and don't have any contact with them." Having figured this out, Jiang's mother carefully instructed Jiang Anxia.

“Okay, I will.” Jiang Anxia nodded.

Even if she didn't say it when they met, she would still do it.

"What is the Liu family after? Why do they have to set their sights on Xiaxia?" Jiang Zhuohua frowned, his face full of confusion.

These words also made Jiang Anxia feel strange.

What exactly is the purpose of the Liu family's repeated actions?

They've already refused twice, but this time they actually went straight back to the brigade from the town. What are they up to?

Or perhaps they want to gain something from the Jiang family.

"No matter what he's after, keep a close eye on him. We can't let the Liu family get even a little closer to Xiaxia." Mother Jiang waved her hand and gave the order directly.

In her opinion, if the Liu family really wanted to do something naughty, she would definitely not let them off the hook.

"It seems that's the only way now." Father Jiang sighed helplessly, staring blankly at the open space in the distance, lost in thought.

“We understand.” Zhou Laidi and Jiang Zhuohua exchanged a glance and then nodded affirmatively.

They will definitely protect Xiaxia well.

After all, Liu's son doesn't seem to be very good-looking!

Seeing this, Jiang Anxia's heart melted completely.
