Seeing Nangong Yu covered in sweat, Song Yuli bit her lip and said with concern, "Why don't you rest for a bit? We can finish the rest tomorrow."

Nangong Yu smiled and shook his head, picked up the towel hanging around his neck and casually wiped his face, saying, "It's okay, there's still a little bit left, I'll finish chopping it in no time."

Song Yuli frowned, somewhat disagreeing, but Nangong Yu had already assumed the posture of chopping wood.

"Stay away, or you'll get hit."

With her cherry lips pressed tightly together, Song Yuli gave Nangong Yu a deep look before taking a few steps back.

Wang Guiqin, who was standing to the side, saw that Song Yuli's eyes seemed to be fixed on Nangong Yu, and he didn't even look at her. Her heart suddenly ached.

Oh dear, my little cabbage, which I just raised, has been eaten by a pig. It's so heartbreaking.

Not wanting to see them again, Wang Guiqin chose to leave. Of course, as she left, she glared angrily at Nangong Yu and pointed to a pile of wood next to the pigsty: "I won't give you any food until you finish chopping all of this."

As soon as she finished speaking, Nangong Yu paused in chopping wood, then continued, while Song Yuli looked at Wang Guiqin with a face full of disapproval.

"Grandma, you can't do this."

Wang Guiqin glanced at her coldly, then snorted and turned to leave.

Watching Wang Guiqin's retreating figure, Song Yuli stomped his foot in frustration, then turned his gaze back to Nangong Yu.

"Nangong...husband, since Grandma has already passed away, you should throw away the axe quickly."

Nangong Yu shook his head: "Didn't you hear what Grandma just said? She won't give me any food until she finishes chopping all these and the rest."

Song Yuli frowned and looked at Nangong Yu with some anxiety: "Husband, the weather is so hot now, and there are so many mosquitoes. How can you stand it? You should throw away the axe quickly. If Grandma doesn't give you food, I'll take you to eat on the street."

Nangong Yu shook his head again: "Didn't you say before that you wanted to marry me with Grandma's blessing? If I really leave with you like this, Grandma will definitely hate me even more. Then it will be even more difficult for me to win Grandma's favor."

After saying that, he ignored Song Yuli and focused on chopping wood with his axe.

Looking at the tall figure under the dim light, Song Yuli's vision gradually blurred.

Actually, he didn't have to do this. He knew perfectly well that her heart belonged to him. Even if he were to turn around and leave right now, she would definitely follow without saying a word.

...

Wang Guiqin sat at the entrance of the main room, looking at Song Yuli at the gate, while Nangong Yu fell into deep thought.

Actually, she didn't dislike Nangong Yu at all; on the contrary, she thought highly of him.

However, she knew that the man named Nangong Yu must come from a very wealthy family, and being from the capital, his status must be quite extraordinary.

And their Ali is just an orphan with no parents and from the countryside. She worries that if Ali goes to the capital with him in the future, will he look down on Ali and embarrass him? Will Nangong Yu still treat Ali as well as he does now and not look down on her?

Actually, she had another worry, which was about the baby in Ali's belly.

She knew that Nangong Yu only agreed to marry Ali because of the child in Ali's belly. She worried that after Ali gave birth to the child in ten months, Nangong Yu might abandon their Ali.
