Huo Zhiguo wailed, "My mother, you know my status in the family. How can I give you money if you ask me to?"

He stared at Wen Xia Nuan with annoyance. It was all because of this damn girl. If it weren't for her, how could Huo Jue have made these demands?

Wen Xia Nuan also noticed the vicious look Huo Zhiguo gave her. She pretended to be afraid and hid behind Huo Jue: "Uncle, what I said is reasonable and well-founded. It's useless for you to glare at me!"

"you!"

Huo Zhiguo was so angry, but he knew he had no way to refute this time, so he made an excuse and ran away in shame!

Wen Xia Nuan took his back into her sight, snorted softly, and her gaze fell on Huo Jue: "Huo Jue, go find your uncle later!"

He glanced at Wen Xia Nuan and nodded: "Okay."

Wen Xia Nuan changed her clothes and glanced at Huo Jue: "I have some clothes, where can I wash them?"

Although she didn't know how to wash, since she was already here, it wouldn't be good to trouble Huo Jue to wash it, right?

"Leave it there, I'll wash it later."

When Huo Jue said this, Wen Xia Nuan was stunned and quickly waved her hands: "No, no, I can wash the clothes myself!"

Thinking that Huo Jue had seen her underwear, her face turned red and she felt embarrassed.

Huo Jue didn't think it was a big deal. Since he had promised Wen Xia Nuan that he would take good care of her, he would naturally take good care of her.

The two of them came and went, and Mrs. Huo, who was standing there, frowned and glanced at her grandson: "Ajue, come here!"

Huo Jue looked towards his grandmother and glanced at Wen Xia Nuan at the same time: "Wen Zhiqing, wait for me."

He followed the old lady back into the room.

Old Madam Gu sat in the front hall, her eyes fixed on Huo Jue with a sense of oppression: "Kneel down!"

Huo Jue knelt on the ground. The anger in Mrs. Gu's eyes was clearly visible. Huo Jue pursed his lips and heard his grandmother's voice coming over: "Do you know why I let you kneel here?"

He shook his head. Mrs. Gu was silent for a long time before she slowly spoke out, "Tell me honestly, what do you think of Wen Zhiqing?"

"I'm your grandmother, don't try to frame me!"

Huo Jue pursed his lips, looked up, and after seeing the seriousness in his grandmother's eyes, he said, "I like her."

The old lady's eyes darkened. After hearing this, she scolded without thinking: "You should know who she is and who you are! Ah Jue, grandma doesn't agree!"

Huo Jue lowered his eyes and said nothing.

The old lady looked at her grandson and her tone gradually softened. "Wen Zhiqing wants to live here, and I agree. But Jue, I don't agree with you two being together. If others knew about your thoughts, what would they say about you?"

"And Wen Zhiqing..."

"grandmother!"

Huo Jue raised his head, suppressing the gloom in his heart, and looked at her with burning eyes: "I know, I won't reveal my feelings for Wen Zhiqing!"

How could he, who was born into a landlord family, dare to covet Wen Zhiqing?

Huo Jue suppressed his emotions very well, fearing that others would see it. Today, he made it clear in front of his grandmother. He was sad and a little bit unbearable at the same time.

He doesn't want this!

"Grandma, if you have nothing else to do, I'll leave first."

Huo Jue didn't wait for his grandmother to say anything, turned around and walked out of the house.

[The male second is so pitiful. He has to suppress his feelings for the female lead while being scolded by his grandmother! ]

[Who says it isn't true? It would be great if the heroine had the same feelings for the second male lead. That way, our poor second male lead would at least show some concern!]

Wen Xia Nuan originally wanted to go up to Huo Jue and ask him what Grandma Huo had said, but when she saw the comments in front of her, she knew that Huo Jue must have been severely scolded by Grandma Huo.

She pursed her lips and felt a little guilty when she looked at Huo Jue.

"Wen Zhiqing, I still need to go to the fields to earn work points, so you're just staying home?"

Wen Xia Nuan shook her head: "I'll go with you."

Huo Jue was startled by her words. Wen Xia Nuan seemed not to notice his surprise and said calmly, "I delayed you today, so I have to help you earn your time back."

She chuckled, and Huo Jue couldn't help laughing and quickly walked out.

Wen Xia Nuan followed him, and the two of them came to the edge of the field. Huo Jue had already rolled up his trouser legs and walked into the field. Wen Xia Nuan was about to do the same, but Huo Jue reached out and held her back: "Don't come down."

Wen Xia Nuan frowned and looked at him disapprovingly: "I promised to help you, so don't refuse."

Huo Jue was unwilling to do so. Li Li, who was planting rice nearby, saw the two men arguing and urged them, "Stop pushing each other around. If you keep going like this, the sun will set."

Wen Xia Nuan had already stepped into the field. Seeing Huo Jue's frown and disapproval, she couldn't help but laugh: "Stop dawdling!"

As she spoke, she bent down, picked up the medicine on the edge of the field and began to sprinkle it in the field.

Wen Xia Nuan has never been a delicate flower. She might be willing to pretend to be a delicate flower at home, but after going out, she really doesn't want to do that.

The man's eyes also fell on Wen Xia Nuan. Seeing her spreading the medicine in a professional manner, Huo Jue felt a little relieved.

After a morning, Wen Xia Nuan was exhausted when she came out of the field.

She sat by the field, looked at the steamed bun that Huo Jue handed her, took a bite and frowned.

"Don't like it?"

Huo Jue seemed to notice her discomfort, and said with a soothing look in his eyes: "How about I go back home and prepare something for you?"

He stood up and was about to leave, but Wen Xia Nuan reached out and grabbed the hem of his clothes: "No need, you can eat here, I can handle it."

"Tsk—the girls from the city are just so delicate. What can they do in the sun?"

"It's better not to hold the Huo family kid back!"

Wen Xia Nuan swallowed the food in her mouth, and her eyes naturally fell on the old lady not far away.

She always felt that he looked familiar, but she couldn't tell exactly where he looked familiar.

"It's Gu Yiyi's mother-in-law."

When Huo Jue's words came to her, Wen Xia Nuan suddenly realized. No wonder she was staring at her intently. It turned out that she was Gu Yiyi's mother-in-law.

Wen Xia Nuan snorted softly: "Who was it I thought it was? It turned out to be Gu Yiyi's mother-in-law!"

Old Lady Wang glanced at her and asked, "Wen Zhiqing knows me, an old lady?"

Wen Xia Nuan smiled and nodded: "Grandma Wang, your daughter-in-law and Li Zhiqing's affair has caused such a big stir, how could I not know you?"

"I heard you were about to break Li Zhiqing's legs!"
