To Su Yue's surprise, she discovered something was wrong with just a simple poke.

That kid... he's got style!

Seeing Su Yue suddenly fall silent, Ye Yun couldn't help but ask with concern, "Sister-in-law, are you alright?"

"Ah! No...it's nothing." Su Yue quickly snapped out of her thoughts and replied hastily.

"That's good. I'll need your help with managing the watermelon patch, sister-in-law. Thank you for your help." Ye Yun's attitude changed from its initial distance as he held Su Yue's hands in his own.

Feeling that large, powerful hand and that handsome face approaching, Su Yue's heart raced. She said, "No...it's okay, I'll leave it to my sister-in-law."

"Thank you so much, sister-in-law! By the way, are you free at noon? Why don't you come over for lunch?" Ye Yun suggested.

"Have a meal?"

"Yes, I'll cook for you. I bought some chicken legs and other ingredients yesterday, so I can make you a nice meal. How about it?" Ye Yun sincerely invited.

Su Yue was tempted. She had originally wanted to spend more time with this handsome younger brother and chat with him. Moreover, upon hearing that Ye Yun would be cooking, she couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"My sister-in-law has eaten your cooking before, and it was really good. Four years have passed, I wonder how your cooking skills are now, and whether they have improved?"

"Of course! I definitely won't let you down, sister-in-law. How about coming over for lunch?"

Seeing his sincere invitation, Su Yue readily agreed, "Okay, I'll come over when I'm done with my work here and have some free time at noon."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you, sister-in-law."

"Okay, see you at noon!" After waving her hand, Su Yue turned and left, leaving Ye Yun with a beautiful silhouette.

Ye Yun was overjoyed. He had been racking his brains about what to do in the village, but unexpectedly, this opportunity came his way.

I'm definitely going to stick close to Sister Su Yue!

Afterwards, Ye Yun arrived at his third uncle's house and heard a commotion coming from inside as soon as he reached the door.

"Whose lipstick stain is on your clothes?"

"What lipstick mark? It was just Old Li and the others joking around during dinner and kissed each other."

"Nonsense, men don't wear lipstick!"

"Chili oil, just chili oil."

"Fuck you, who the hell makes chili oil rose-flavored?"

"…………"

Hearing the commotion, Ye Yun knew he had to step in, or a fight would break out.

Stepping into the courtyard, Ye Yun shouted, "Third Uncle, there's work to be done!"

With that shout, the room fell silent instantly. Then, Uncle San came out with a messy, bird's-nest-like hairstyle, looking like he'd had a lot of his hair pulled out again.

"Yunzi, is something the matter?" Uncle San looked at Ye Yun gratefully, thankful that he had come, otherwise he would not have been able to escape.

"Well, I'm back now, and the house is so old. I almost got hit by falling tiles when I came back the day before yesterday. I was thinking of renovating it. You happen to be the captain of the construction team here, so could you get a few people to renovate my house?" Ye Yun said.

“Oh, that’s it. Easy, I can hire people right away. But speaking of which, how do you calculate the wages?” Uncle San asked.

“I haven’t been back for four years, so I don’t know anything about what’s going on here. Uncle, please tell me.”

"How about 60 per person?" Uncle San asked tentatively.

"That's too little, how about seventy? I'll give you seventy yuan per person, Uncle. How you distribute it is your business, but you have to make sure they do a good job and don't slack off," Ye Yun said.

Uncle San's eyes lit up, and he instantly understood what Ye Yun meant. He smiled and nodded, "Okay, these are all family. Uncle San will definitely take good care of it for you."

"Okay, Uncle, could you help me get the cement and other materials? I'll pay you back then."

"Okay, it's settled then. When do you plan to start work?" Uncle San asked.

"I'm fine with anything, it's up to you, Uncle."

"Then let's do it tomorrow!"

——————

It was already past noon when I got home. Lin Shuyue was watering the vegetables in the garden across the road in front of the house. Her virtuous and beautiful temperament was very pleasing to the eye.

The beautiful legs that were faintly visible beneath the skirt were extremely alluring, making it hard not to take a second look.

"Sister-in-law, I'm back. What are you doing?"

Lin Shuyue stood up, tossed her hair, and said with a smile, "I'm just watering the vegetables since I have nothing else to do."

"Let me do it."

"No need, I'm just bored. By the way, how did my discussion with your third uncle go?" Lin Shuyue asked curiously.

"Yes, Uncle San is quite reliable when it comes to construction, so we can leave it to him."

"When do you plan to start?"

"tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? So soon!" Lin Shuyue exclaimed in surprise.

"It's good that it's done soon. Our house is in such a state that it's quite uncomfortable to live in, especially when taking a shower. I was originally thinking of getting a bathroom."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shuyue's expression changed slightly, and she asked, "And then?"

"If I want to install a bathroom, it won't be a renovation; I'll have to tear down part of the house and rebuild it. And to install a bathroom, I'll need to buy a solar water heater, which is quite expensive, so I'm not considering buying one for now."

Hearing this, Lin Shuyue's lips curled up slightly, and she said, "No rush. There are only the two of us at home. We can take a shower in the yard. We'll consider building a bathroom and buying a water heater later."

Ye Yun nodded, "That's what I thought too, it's just that it would be unfair to you, sister-in-law..."

"It's alright, sister-in-law, I'm not wronged. I've always been like this," Lin Shuyue said gently, stroking his cheek.

Perhaps feeling that her actions were a bit too intimate, Lin Shuyue let go of her hand and took a step back.

"By the way, sister-in-law, I just ran into Sister-in-law Su Yue."

"Su Yue!"

"Yes, I'll invite her over for lunch," Ye Yun said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Shuyue felt a little uncomfortable. That woman was arrogant, relying on her wealth and fashionable clothes, and often mocked the people in the village.

"Okay, I understand," Lin Shuyue said quietly.

Back home, Ye Yun began preparing ingredients for the lunch reception, bustling about in the kitchen.

What puzzled him was that Lin Shuyue, who was usually very proactive in helping out, stayed in her room and didn't come out, which was not in line with her personality.

Maybe I was just too tired!

Ye Yun didn't think much of it and took on all the work by herself: washing vegetables, chopping vegetables, and cooking vegetables.

Before noon, there was a knock on the door.

When Ye Yun came out, he saw a sexy woman wearing a white shirt, a black skirt, and flesh-colored stockings standing at the door.

Su Yue took off her sunglasses and winked at Ye Yun, "I'm here, Yunzi."

"Sister-in-law, why did you come so quickly? I haven't even had time to cook yet!" Ye Yun hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.

"What, you think I came too early? Then I'll leave." With that, Su Yue turned to leave.
