Zhang Xiaochun understood the suspicion in the other person's eyes, but for Jun Haoyue she didn't want to lose face anymore.

She climbed onto the kang and pounded Aunt Wang's shoulder, saying coquettishly, "Aunt Wang, please take me with you. If Widow Xu makes trouble for you, I can help you with the dirty and tiring work."

Aunt Wang was originally reluctant to take Zhang Xiaochun with her, but she had her reasons, and it would be ok to have another sucker, so she agreed to Zhang Xiaochun reluctantly.

"I can take you there, but you have to listen to me."

Zhang Xiaochun nodded vigorously, "Okay, no problem."

"You have to help me with the work that Widow Xu gave me."

"Yeah." Zhang Xiaochun continued pecking at the rice and nodded.

"Also, Widow Xu hasn't sent anyone to call her yet, so just wait."

"Mm-m-m? What? No shouting?" Zhang Xiaochun half-opened his mouth. "But I saw Mrs. Zhou and her husband go to Widow Xu's house."

Now it was Aunt Wang's turn to be surprised. "What?"

After she thought about it for a while, she realized that she was wrong. She thought Xu Xingchen's "on call" meant that she had to go whenever Xu Xingchen called her. It turned out that Xu Xingchen wanted her to go by herself and be on call whenever he called her!

"This cunning little bitch..." Aunt Wang gritted her teeth, "Xiaochun, let's go to Widow Xu's house!"

Zhang Xiaochun didn't understand what was going on, but he still followed with a happy look on his face.

Arriving at the greenhouse in front of Xu Xingchen's house, Aunt Wang slammed the door and walked in with some displeasure. Xu Xingchen was sitting on a temporary low platform in the greenhouse. She raised her eyelids slightly to glance at her, and when she saw Zhang Xiaochun following behind her, her eyelids drooped again.

It was much warmer in the greenhouse than outside. Shuanzi, who was plowing the soil, took off his outer clothes because of the heat and only wore his underwear. Zhou Xiaoniang helped him wipe the sweat from his face from time to time. The people around him were used to it and just did their own work quietly.

Aunt Wang seemed to be hesitant to speak, and did not dare to say anything immoral.

But Xu Xingchen ignored her and didn't tell her what to do. She just spontaneously watered the land where she had already planted seeds.

Zhang Xiaochun stood there, feeling a little helpless. Aunt Wang had gone to do something, so what should she do?

"Sister Zhang, if you have nothing to do, don't stand here and get in the way. This place is not for viewing." Xu Xingchen looked at her coldly.

Zhang Xiaochun smiled ingratiatingly: "Sister Xu, that's not the case. I'm here to help. One more person means more strength...", and then he glanced at what he could do.

Tilling the soil? Too tiring.

Picking up seeds? It's eye candy.

Sowing? Waste your waist.

At a glance, she passed them all. Xu Xingchen looked at her with increasingly cold eyes, as if he wanted to drive her out.

Zhang Xiaochun stamped her feet anxiously. While she was anxious, Jun Haoyue came in with a sieve of seeds. Her eyes lit up and she immediately said hypocritically, why would she waste her waist to sow seeds? She loved bending over the most.

At the critical point when Xu Xingchen's patience was exhausted, he hurriedly shouted, "Mr. Jun, I will sow seeds with you!"

Jun Haoyue paused, then noticed that there were two more people in the shed. He pursed his thin lips into a straight line and said nothing.

Zhang Xiaochun was still the same Zhang Xiaochun, the shameless and oblivious Zhang Xiaochun. She excitedly went to Jun Haoyue's side and asked for help.

But she didn't really want to help, so she didn't do her job properly and kept asking Jun Haoyue questions. Jun Haoyue answered them patiently with his good manners.

Zhang Xiaochun was overjoyed. See, Mr. Jun didn't hate her at all. Mr. Jun was still the gentle Mr. Jun.

Zhang Xiaochun shamelessly rubbed against Jun Haoyue. Even though he silently told himself to be patient thousands of times, he couldn't bear it anymore.

He looked at Zhang Xiaochun, curled the corners of his lips and said slowly: "The mouse has skin, but people have no manners. If people have no manners, what is the point of not dying? The mouse has teeth, but people have no end."

Zhang Xiaochun was dazzled by the smile on his face. She had never been to school and had no cultural background. What did Mr. Jun mean by this? But judging by the literal meaning, it was something like "life or death".

Could it be the love until death as described in the book?

Her face flushed, and she replied shyly, "I, I do."

This was completely irrelevant. Xu Xingchen, who had been watching coldly, suddenly made a "puff" sound.

Zhang Xiaochun scolded her in shame and anger: "What are you laughing at!"

Xu Xingchen covered his face with one hand and waved the other: "No, no."

"Mr. Jun, what did you mean by that just now?" Zhang Xiaochun's eyes were as bright as torches.

Jun Haoyue stood up, brushed off the dirt on his knees, stretched out his long legs, stepped over her side, and went to do other things.

Zhang Xiaochun squatted in place, frowning as he thought about what he had said.

“Ouch—”

Aunt Wang saw what happened between the few people and rolled her eyes secretly. She was reluctant to work in the first place, and her hand slipped and knocked over the bucket. Zhou Xiaoniang screamed.

"I've watered that area!"

Shuanzi and Zhou Xiaoniang were busy covering the water with soil. Aunt Wang stood by and watched without any guilt. It was clearly her fault, but she didn't even think of helping.

Xu Xingchen pinched her brows in pain. She began to regret her decision to let Aunt Wang be a free laborer. It was good enough that she didn't make things worse.

In order to prevent these two from continuing to waste her seeds, she had to find a way to get rid of them.

After pondering for a while, Xu Xingchen came up with an idea. She sat on the chair and clapped her hands, attracting several people to look at her.

"The previous wheat seedlings were destroyed, and the new seedlings now have already passed their prime growing season."

When talking about the destroyed wheat seedlings, everyone present couldn't help but look at Aunt Wang. Aunt Wang trembled, and her face looked ugly, no one knew whether it was embarrassment or shame.

"So, to speed up the growth of the new wheat seedlings, Aunt Wang and Zhang Xiaochun, go find some fertilizer."

Zhang Xiaochun asked doubtfully, "Fertilizer? What is that?"

Aunt Wang was also confused, but she instinctively felt that it was not a good thing.

"Fertilizer is animal feces," Xu Xingchen explained generously, adding, "Human feces is also acceptable."

As expected, Zhang Xiaochun immediately shouted that he would not go, and Aunt Wang also cursed with a dark face: "I won't go! Widow Xu, I think you are taking revenge for your personal gain!"

Xu Xingchen narrowed his eyes slightly, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Aunt Wang, I think you know who destroyed the wheat seedlings. You agreed in front of the villagers. You, Aunt Wang, have to help me."

"Also, the last batch of wheat seedlings was originally reserved by a buyer in town. Who do you think caused the replanting? If we don't arrive in time as agreed with the buyer, can you afford the losses of those present?"

Xu Xingchen's words were so powerful that Aunt Wang turned pale instantly. The partners present, including Zhou Xiaoniang and her husband, cast angry glances at her, wishing she could pay compensation on the spot.

Aunt Wang's family was so poor that they had no money at all. She trembled and murmured, "I'll go, I'll go..."

When Zhang Xiaochun heard this, his eyes widened and he shouted, "Aunt Wang?!" His voice cracked.
