Lin Yiwan sent a box of pastries to Cao Jianyu, who lived a few meters away. Cao Jianyu neither lived with them nor ate with them. Whenever Lin's mother cooked something delicious, she would serve a bowl of it over. In addition, Lin Yihui would send her money, so Cao Jianyu lived a very good life and had an endless supply of fruits and vegetables.

Cao Jianyu was also grateful that she had married Lin Yihui. If she had married someone else, or if someone else had married Lin Yihui, she would never have known that life could be lived like this.

When Lin Yiwan arrived, Cao Jianyu was brushing his teeth outside the door. He was somewhat surprised to see Lin Yiwan. "Yiwan, you're back? Did everything go smoothly?"

"Everything went smoothly," Lin Yiwan said with a smile, handing the pastries in her hand to Cao Jianyu. "Sister-in-law, these are pastries I brought for you."

"Yiwan, thank you for remembering me while you were out running errands." Cao Jianyu quickly finished brushing his teeth and hurriedly took the pastries Lin Yiwan handed him. "Have you had breakfast? Would you like to have a bowl here?"

Lin Yiwan shook her head. "I've already eaten, so I won't eat here anymore. I have something to do, so I'll head back first."

Back home, Lin Yiwan picked up her bag and went to find Wen Xi. Wen Xi was also very surprised to see Lin Yiwan, "Yiwan, you're back?"

Lin Yiwan raised her eyebrows smugly. "How about that? I said I'd come back unharmed, and I'm back unharmed now, aren't I?"

"It seems you've done a great job!" Wen Xi said, looking at Lin Yiwan's proud expression.

Lin Yiwan nodded and handed the things in her hand to Wen Xi. "I brought you some local specialties and bought you a few books. I see that you have been studying hard all the time, so I think these books will be useful to you."

"I study because nowadays you have to take an exam to get a job, and I don't want to stay in the countryside forever. I definitely want to go back to the city when I have the chance, so I want to work hard and wait for the opportunity, so that it won't slip away when it comes." Wen Xi couldn't say it outright, so she could only remind Lin Yiwan not to forget to study.

However, Lin Yiwan definitely knew what would happen in the future. Even if Wen Xi didn't remind her, Lin Yiwan would definitely seize the opportunity to enter the city openly and legitimately.

Lin Yiwan delivered the things to Wen Xi and then went back. It was morning, and everyone had their own things to do, so she didn't want to bother them any longer.

After having breakfast, Wenxi and the other two set off to work in the watermelon field.

The early-ripening watermelons planted in March are long past their season. Now they need to pull up the watermelon vines. The vines can be chopped up to feed pigs and cattle, and dried to be used as firewood.

Otherwise, there would be nowhere to put so many watermelon vines.

Each person had their own basket, and everyone was very serious about pulling up the watermelon vines. If the roots were broken inside, they had to pull the watermelon roots out. Whenever someone pulled up a basket of watermelons, Song Lan would quickly turn the soil over, and then Wen Xi would plant vegetables, while Tian Shengnan would be responsible for covering the soil.

Such a large piece of land can't just be left to lie fallow. Let's plant radishes, cabbages, coriander, spinach, yellow cabbage, garlic, and other vegetables that are sown in the fall.

Next year, we can start by cultivating watermelon seedlings, and then transplant them after all the vegetables in the field have been harvested. That way, it won't be too much trouble.

Since no one was urging Wenxi and the others, they only worked for a few hours each day and spent the rest of their time doing their own things.

That night, Wenxi received another task from the sign-in system while she was still half asleep. She forced herself to wake up and then dressed properly.

Actually, every time she went to a mission world, even though she stayed there for quite a long time, not much time passed in the real world. Wenxi didn't want things to escalate in just a few hours, so she quickly wrote a note, put it on her bed, and left the room.

She went to a tree at the foot of the mountain and then used 'teleport' so that when she returned, she would be behind the tree, so she wouldn't suddenly appear and scare others or make them think she was strange.

A few seconds later, Wenxi arrived at a dusty room. The walls of the room were made of mud bricks, and the room was lit by a dim kerosene lamp, so the whole room was dusty.

"Waaaaah..." A strange sound came from inside.

Wenxi looked in the direction of the sound and saw a middle-aged couple on the kang (a heated brick bed) pressing down on a woman while another man consummated their marriage with her.

Is this a case where the lesbian refuses to consummate the marriage, so the middle-aged couple is helping the lesbian?

Going against a woman's will, isn't that rape...?

Moreover, instead of stopping it, this middle-aged couple actually chose to help them?

The next second, Wen Xi produced a baseball bat, came behind the man, and smacked him on the back of the head with a 'bang'. The man then collapsed onto the woman.

"Who are you?" The middle-aged couple noticed Wen Xi and stared at her in astonishment.

But the next second, a greedy glint appeared in the middle-aged man's eyes. This woman who had suddenly appeared was clearly a hundred times more beautiful than the woman from before. He could have his way with her first, and then give her to his son...

Before he could finish thinking about these wonderful things, Wen Xi hit him with a stick, knocking him unconscious, and then knocked out the middle-aged woman as well.

She didn't want to deal with women either, but this woman was clearly no good either!

After knocking all three men unconscious, Wen Xi pushed the young man away and then helped the woman who was pinned to the bed up. "Comrade, are you alright?"

The woman curled up in a corner, pulled back the covers to cover herself, and trembled uncontrollably.

"Don't you find their blankets dirty?" Wen Xi asked helplessly. She rejected the man's advances so much, which showed that she disliked him, but she was quite comfortable using his blankets.

Upon hearing Wenxi's words, the woman quickly threw away the man's quilt, saying that their belongings were as filthy as they were.

Using the backpack as cover, Wen Xi took out a set of clothes and handed them to the woman, saying, "I happen to have a set of clothes here, you can change into them first! I'll go see if there's anything to eat in their kitchen and make you something to eat."

Wenxi first tied the family of three up with rope and threw them into the yard. Then she found the kitchen and saw that the cabinet was locked. Wenxi took out the labor-saving sickle she had signed before and chopped at the lock, easily breaking it open.

He found an egg and some flour inside, then cracked the egg into the dough while kneading it. After that, he cooked a bowl of dumpling soup and brought it to the woman.

"Fill your stomach first, and then tell me what happened, why they treated you like this, and what your relationship with them is." Wenxi placed the dumpling soup on the kang table.

Not knowing the woman's identity, Wenxi couldn't judge right or wrong.

The woman smelled the aroma, swallowed hard, and hurriedly climbed to the kang table, picked up her chopsticks, and began to wolf down the food.
