“Of course I thank you, Uncle Village Chief, but if it weren’t for your suggestion, I definitely wouldn’t know who to turn to,” Liu Ruyi said sincerely.

She could sense that Jiang Qinyu didn't want any deeper interaction with her, but the more she acted this way, the more she wanted to get closer to her.

Jiang Qinyu was a little speechless. She pretended to be very tired and panted loudly a few times, "I can't run anymore. You guys go first, I'll catch up soon..."

As she spoke, she slowed down and fell behind the group.

Liu Ruyi lowered her eyelashes and did not turn around.

On the first day of running, the women managed to persevere, but they were filled with resentment.

"Village chief, maybe we shouldn't run away?"

"Yes, village chief, I'm so tired I can't even straighten my back. How am I supposed to work later?"

"Who said women need to train too? Isn't that ridiculous?"

"Ouch, my old back..."

Jiang Qinyu was also resting, but she didn't say anything. She just carefully wiped the sweat off Pan'er and Shufan and fanned them with her hand.

Village Chief Li wasn't going to tolerate these women. He glared at them fiercely and said, "What nonsense are you spouting? Do you expect me to push your men out to take the fall if there's danger in the village? Do you think you can hide in the back and escape unscathed?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the women fell silent.

Today's work had been arranged in advance, and after resting enough, everyone went about their own business.

After a busy day, everything in the village was progressing smoothly, and as darkness fell, the people returning from the fields all had smiles on their faces.

"Ouch, which scoundrel dug a trap here? Why didn't they tell anyone beforehand?" At the end of the village, Meng Tianze straddled the trap with his long legs spread apart. His ligaments, which hadn't been stretched for a long time, suddenly snapped, causing him to grimace in pain.

If he hadn't acted quickly, he would have fallen in by now. What a terrible thing to do!
