Shen Li turned her head and saw a sturdy middle-aged woman looking at her with a smile, holding a basket of freshly picked beans in her hand.

"Aunt." Zhou Yanjing stopped what he was doing, turned around and greeted her. There was a faint expression on his face, but his tone was still polite.

Shen Liwu nodded politely with a faint smile on her face, "Auntie."

The middle-aged woman smiled more brightly, took a few steps closer, looked Shen Liwu up and praised, "What a beautiful girl! No wonder Yan Jing keeps talking about her. Look at her figure and looks. She is much better than those girls in our village."

"Why don't you work? Why do you let your parents-in-law work while you just watch? This is unfilial and you can't be like this."

When Shen Liwu heard this, the smile on his face froze slightly, and a hint of embarrassment flashed in his eyes. She opened her mouth, wanting to explain, but didn't know where to start.

Zhou Yanjing noticed her mood, frowned, put down the corn in his hand, and strode over.

"Aunt," he said in a steady and powerful voice with a hint of displeasure, "Wuwu just came from the city and hasn't gotten used to it yet. We forced her to take a rest today. If you have nothing to do, don't stay here and delay our work."

The middle-aged woman's smile froze, and she glanced between Zhou Yanjing and Shen Liwu twice, then smiled awkwardly, "Oh, I was just saying it casually, Yanjing, don't be angry."

Zhou Li walked over and said bluntly, "Aunt, our Wuwu just came from the city and is not used to doing these kinds of work. Besides, our family doesn't lack her labor."

"I'm just wondering why you all are here to confront me. I just want to teach her how to be a daughter-in-law. Look at her standing there motionless. Your Zhou family is marrying an ancestor to worship."

Zhou Li couldn't stand it when she heard this. Her face darkened instantly. She straightened her back and said in a voice as cold as ice, "Aunt, it's not your turn to worry about our family affairs. Wuwu is our daughter-in-law. We are willing to spoil her. You can't interfere."

The middle-aged woman was intimidated by Zhou Yu's momentum. She moved her lips as if she wanted to say something, but finally shut up in dismay. She hurriedly left the field carrying the basket of beans in her hand, mumbling something in a voice so low that it was almost inaudible.

Zhou Yanjing's face didn't look too good either, his brows were tightly furrowed.

"Wuwu, don't pay attention to the old woman's nonsense. She just loves to gossip." Zhou Li's tone softened with a hint of comfort.

Shen Liwu nodded and forced a smile, "I'm fine, I won't take it to heart."

Zhou Li walked over and held her hand, his eyes full of heartache, "She is just jealous that we have such a beautiful daughter-in-law. Look how much Yan Jing loves you, we all like you, it doesn't matter what others say."

Shen Liwu felt the warmth of Zhou Yu's palm, and the grievance in his heart gradually dissipated. She nodded gently, revealing a sincere smile, "Thank you, Mom. I know you care about me."

Zhou Yanjing took her hand and led her to him, "Mom, you go, Wuwu come with me."

"Then your dad and I will take care of the other side."

Zhou Yanjing took Shen Liwu's hand and led her to the shade of a big tree. The mottled shadows of the tree reflected on her face, making her look particularly soft.

"Just sit here. I'll pick the corn nearby. Don't run around. There are bugs on the corn leaves. It will hurt."
