Shen Heng tickled Bai Jiaojiao, and Bai Jiaojiao laughed out loud.

Seeing Bai Jiaojiao smile, Shen Heng asked, "You're not angry with me anymore?"

"I wasn't angry in the first place."

"Then why did you have such a long face the whole way?"

Shen Heng had noticed that Bai Jiaojiao was in low spirits, but he couldn't ask her directly at his father-in-law's house.

Bai Jiaojiao shook her head, feeling it was a pity that the wheat in the field was wasted. However, she couldn't persuade the brigade leader, and there was nothing she could do.

She had calculated that once everyone got the tools, even if there were only two days left, they would be able to harvest the wheat. But who knew that Li Lide, being so stingy, couldn't even provide a single tool for each household.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."

Oh well, she was just doing her best.

Shen Heng wouldn't let her off the hook, turning Bai Jiaojiao's face to face him: "What can't you tell me? Don't you treat me like your man? You're afraid to tell me, are you still thinking about Yu Wenli?!"

When Bai Jiaojiao met Shen Heng's eyes, she couldn't suppress the urge to smile.

After drinking, Shen Heng becomes a little domineering, but also incredibly cute.

"You're still laughing?!"

Shen Heng felt that he had met a faithless person.

He released Bai Jiaojiao and scratched his head.

What will he do if Bai Jiaojiao still wants to be with Yu Wenli?

Shen Heng had drunk quite a bit with Bai Shihai today, and his mind was completely muddled. He sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) looking dejected, both pitiful and laughable.

Bai Jiaojiao couldn't help but laugh and leaned closer to him, telling him the truth: "I just feel sorry for the wheat in the field. The villagers worked hard to cultivate it for half a year, and now it's just lying there in the field."

Shen Heng turned to Bai Jiaojiao: "Is that all?"

Farmers rely on the weather for their livelihood; if the weather turns bad, they can only accept their misfortune.

"Isn't this a big deal?" Bai Jiaojiao pinched Shen Heng's arm lightly.

"It's better than you running off with someone else." Shen Heng sulked, turning his face away again, clearly wanting Bai Jiaojiao to coax him.

“I won’t run away with anyone else. Heng-ge is so good to me, why would I run away?”

Bai Jiaojiao hugged Shen Heng's arm and rubbed her head against his shoulder, looking like a clingy kitten.

Shen Heng felt the softness of Bai Jiaojiao's chest against his arm, and his heart swelled instantly.

It felt like there were ten layers of cotton blankets under his buttocks.

"Am I okay?"

In his entire life, Shen Heng has never heard anyone say a good word about him.

He felt so blissful he almost wet his pants.

But then I felt a little guilty.

Can you calculate Bai Jiaojiao's answer yourself?

This silly wife, does she even know what it means to treat her well?

Is he usually nice to Bai Jiaojiao?

Damn, this liquor is so strong, I can't remember anything after drinking too much of it.

Bai Jiaojiao chuckled and stopped worrying: "Hurry up and rest, Heng-ge. You've been exhausted these past few days."

Now that things have come to this, all she wants is for herself and Shen Heng to not go hungry this year.

Shen Heng lay down next to Bai Jiaojiao, listening to the dense rain outside, still wondering if he was usually too harsh on Bai Jiaojiao, and surprisingly, he didn't do anything lewd before going to sleep.

The next morning, Bai Jiaojiao was awakened by the sound of raindrops and found that the kang (a heated brick bed) next to her was empty.

The house was gloomy on a rainy day. The clock pointed to nine in the morning. Bai Jiaojiao tried calling "Heng-ge" twice, but no one answered.

"Where did you go so early in the morning...?"

Bai Jiaojiao yawned, then groped her way into the kitchen, where she indeed saw a steaming white flour bun warming in a large pot.

Bai Jiaojiao prepared to tidy up the house and then make lunch while waiting for Shen Heng to return.

Meanwhile, Shen Heng, wearing a raincoat, was harvesting wheat in the field with a large sickle. Early in the morning, he had already cut almost an acre of land.

"Shen Heng, did your younger sister ask you to come out?"

When Bai Shihai heard that Shen Heng was outside harvesting wheat, he quickly put on his raincoat and rushed over.

Shen Heng doesn't lack food, so why is he harvesting wheat in the fields on rainy days? Surely he's not addicted to it?

Bai Shihai had experienced Bai Jiaojiao's temper firsthand; she was always acting on a whim, so it must have been her who sent Shen Heng.

This girl is quite something; she managed to get Shen Heng to do something so outrageous.

"Big brother, you've arrived." Shen Heng greeted him, his hands still moving.

"Brother-in-law, come back with me. Isn't Jiaojiao making things difficult for us?"

Bai Shihai still remembered what Shen Heng said about Bai Jiaojiao bullying him at home before he blacked out last night.

He pulled Shen Heng along, intending to go back and reason with his sister.

"Brother, Jiaojiao is still asleep, don't disturb her. She's reluctant to part with these wheat grains, saying she'll dry them as soon as she harvests them, so they can at least fill her stomach."

Shen Heng explained to Bai Shihai.

The reason he was here so early in the morning was because Shen Heng couldn't remember what he had done right by Bai Jiaojiao all night.

He had to do something quickly to make amends, lest Bai Jiaojiao realize that he wasn't a good man at all, which would be quite bad.

Knowing that Bai Jiaojiao was in a hurry because of this, he came with a sickle.

"Dry it? Is that okay?"

"Who knows?" Shen Heng shrugged.

He didn't care whether it worked or not; as long as Bai Jiaojiao was happy, that was all that mattered.

"I'll go back and get my sickle to help you."

"No need, brother, you should go back quickly. Don't get sick and trouble your wife again!"

Shen Heng thought to himself, "What's going on here? He's trying to please his wife, why is his brother-in-law getting involved? Doesn't that make him stand out?"

Bai Shihai had no idea what Shen Heng was thinking, and said, "Jiaojiao is willful. As her older brother, I can't let you do this alone. Wait here, I'll help you."

Shen Heng pursed his lips, too embarrassed to voice his true thoughts, and couldn't stop Bai Shihai.
