When Cao Guofu saw Shen Mu Ning's small frame, he already felt that the men were bound to win.

But he didn't expect that Shen Mu Ning, despite her small size, possessed great strength.

So he could only watch in astonishment as Shen Mu Ning surpassed him, and then surpassed Chu Ming Xu.

At first, he refused to accept his fate and quickly swung his hoe, trying to catch up with Shen Mu Ning.

When he stopped to rest because his hands were sore, he realized that even though he chased after her desperately, Shen Mu Ning was getting further and further away.

He earned eight work points in one morning, while Chu Mingxu earned nine.

Under Cao Guofu's resentful yet admiring gaze, Shen Mu Ning quickly fled after settling her work points. She needed to go home and cook; she didn't have time to be made a fool of for others.

Sure enough, a little while later, several young men ran over, shouting as they ran, "How was it? Did we win?"

Cao Guofu stood there, speechless. The young men, thinking they had won, were itching to jump up and celebrate.

I knew it! How could a woman possibly be better than a man?

Just as the group was about to pull Chu Mingxu and Cao Guofu aside to celebrate, Chu Mingxu poured cold water on them, waking them up.

"What are you thinking? We lost."

Several people's pupils trembled. "How is this possible? You two both lost?"

Seeing that they didn't believe him, Chu Mingxu kindly pointed out the ground that Shen Mu Ning had dug, as well as the ground that he and Cao Guo Fu had dug.

The group looked and agreed that Shen Mu Ning had indeed dug up a lot.

The group laughed it off, "So we lost this time. No worries, we men are best at physical labor. This is nothing, it's nothing. We can always compete with her in strength when we harvest the corn in ten days."

After saying that, the group nodded vigorously in affirmation.

Cao Guofu had just come to his senses when he heard them say they wanted to compete with Shen Muning in strength. He said quietly, "Shen is a female comrade. She'll be picking corn in the fields, right? Carrying corn is a male comrade's job."

Huh? The group was taken aback. Oh right, women wouldn't come to carry corn.

They turned to look at Chu Mingxu, who was also an educated youth and should know a little about Shen, so was Shen strong?

Chu Mingxu thought for a moment, and figured that Shen Mu Ning probably wanted to show off his strength to the rest of the team.
