"Ha ha!"

Yu Mingxiang looked at the family of three, some injured and some heartbroken, and laughed heartily to the sky.

"You dared to bully my daughter? Just wait, this is only the beginning!"

The first time she successfully knocked someone over the head with a club, it gave Yu Mingxiang unprecedented confidence.

Her feud with the Zhao family runs deep!

She will definitely get her revenge!

Zhao Tengfei was taken to the town hospital. The road was deserted again. Yu Mingxiang then came out of her spatial dimension, crept into the nearby grove, and began walking home around the village.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but that feeling of being followed came back again!

Yu Mingxiang looked back several times, but there was no one behind her. After tiptoeing back home, she squinted and carefully approached Gu Guanhai's window.

Gu Guanhai, who arrived home a step ahead of time: "!!!"

There was nothing I could do but pretend to be fast asleep and breathe slowly.

Hearing the breathing sounds coming from inside the room, Yu Mingxiang breathed a sigh of relief. After thinking to herself that it was all an illusion, she went back to the backyard to rest.

Nothing was said that night.

The next day was also the last day of the three-day rectification period for the new educated youth.

Yu Mingxiang, who had secretly done something big last night, went to bed late and didn't get up until after ten o'clock.

"Sorry, I overslept!"

As she came out of the room, Yu Mingxiang looked at her daughter-in-law, who was hanging work clothes to dry in the yard, and said apologetically, "Xiaoru, are you hungry? Mom will go and cook for you right away."

"Mom, don't worry."

Upon hearing this, Xue Ru turned around and smiled, "Mom, you didn't get up this morning. When we went to the front yard, Uncle Gu had already cooked millet porridge and prepared some cold dishes. We've already eaten breakfast, so don't worry."

"ah?"

Yu Mingxiang responded with a look of surprise and doubt, then tidied up and went to the front yard to prepare lunch.

After finishing his nap, Gu Guanhai came out right at lunchtime.

After the meal, the proper sweet soup in front of Gu Guanhai turned into something else entirely: honey water.

Gu Guanhai: "?!"

I was quite flattered.

"Cough cough!"

Yu Mingxiang felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze, so she coughed lightly and explained, "Local honey is hard to buy, and I don't have much on hand. This is to thank you for helping the children cook breakfast this morning."

Gu Guanhai: ...

I understand.

It's better not to know at all.

He was wrong to think that the woman had feelings for him; he was just being delusional.

In the afternoon, Yu Mingxiang went to the river by the door to fetch water and washed clothes in the front yard, while Xue Ru put on thick gloves beside her.

"I've already washed and hung out the work clothes to dry. We can wear them when we go to work tomorrow. I've also added a layer of cotton to the gloves to protect the areas that are prone to chafing."

After Xue Ru finished thickening one glove, she handed it to her mother-in-law and asked, "Mom, take a look, is this thick enough? If not, I'll add some more."

"That's enough, any more work and you won't be able to work efficiently."

Yu Mingxiang glanced at the gloves, nodded, and then looked over Xue Ru's protruding belly. She said, "Xiao Ru, you're quite far along in your pregnancy. You've never done farm work before. If you suddenly start doing it all, your body definitely won't be able to handle it. Tonight, I'll go to the old village chief and see if we can have just Wei Guo, Xiang Dong, and me work to earn work points so you can rest at home. If all else fails, I'll at least give you an easy job."

"Mom, there's no need to go to so much trouble."

Upon hearing this, Xue Ru quickly replied, "If others can do it, so can I. I heard from the aunties in the village that she was nine months pregnant and still went to the fields to harvest wheat!"

"Can you compare yourself to them? They are all native farmers."

Upon hearing this, Yu Mingxiang immediately said, "Those hands of yours are for handling test tubes and doing experiments. If you were to get sick from working in the fields, that would be a loss for the country and our family!"

The Xue family used to be a scholarly family, and her daughter-in-law was exceptionally quick at everything since elementary school, skipping grades. This even influenced her son, Weiguo, to be more ambitious. And that's all...

Her daughter-in-law graduated from university and entered a research institute at the age of seventeen, while her eldest son relentlessly pursued her, only managing to enter the research institute at the age of twenty.

Yu Mingxiang wouldn't dare say how outstanding her eldest son was, but her daughter-in-law was a genuine academic high-achiever.

In her past life, when the Xue family encountered trouble, she tried everything to protect her daughter-in-law because she cherished talent. Little did she know, she could escape the consequences, but in this life…

Things are different now!

With her granaries full of grain and meat, her daughter-in-law will definitely have a safe delivery and return to the city smoothly!

Gu Guanhai, who was passing by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, overheard their conversation and subconsciously glanced at Yu Mingxiang.

With her skinny arms and legs, does she really intend to work in the fields?
