Liu Mei was very annoyed and was about to lose her temper when she noticed a figure swaying at the front door of the house. So she slowed down her pace, pretending again that she had difficulty walking, and slowly moved into the house.

Xu Xiuxiu, who saw her expression change two or three times in a short period of time, followed her in confusion, not knowing whether to lend a hand to help her.

Liu Mei suppressed her dissatisfaction and turned to look at Xu Xiuxiu: "Come and help me down, I can't walk steadily by myself."

"Oh, okay."

After entering the room, the others who were already sitting on the bed also noticed that something was wrong with Liu Mei, and they all stood up and asked her about her concern.

"Nothing. It was dark and the road was hard to walk on. I stepped on a loose rock and my ankle seemed to be twisted. It's nothing serious. I'll be fine after a good night's sleep."

"Are you really okay?"

A kind-hearted person brought safflower oil and wanted to massage her ankles.

Liu Mei was afraid of being exposed, so she just accepted the safflower oil and politely declined the other party's offer to rub her ankles.

late at night.

Liu Mei covered her mouth and nose with the corner of the quilt, hid her hand that had touched safflower oil and whose smell would not dissipate for a while, under the quilt, and stared blankly at the top of her head.

She is not a fool. Jiang Sui's behavior tonight made it very obvious that he deliberately didn't want to help her.

But why?

Jiang Sui has always been a kind-hearted person, and everyone knows that he is willing to help others.

Based on my understanding of him, Jiang Sui would definitely take me back to my residence after learning that I had sprained my ankle.

Anyway, it shouldn't be like today, dragging its feet and not moving, and then asking other villagers to see me off.

It’s like... he’s afraid of having anything to do with him.

This is very wrong.

It was very inconsistent with his usual style.

When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.

Liu Mei patiently reasoned why Jiang Sui did this today.

When she was using the strategy of retreating to advance to force Jiang Sui to take her home, the flashlight swept across his tires.

The tire was fully inflated, and it was not at all like Jiang Sui said that there was no way to take her there.

Moreover, when the other villagers sent her back, they kept chatting. Liu Mei learned from their chat that Jiang Sui was carrying someone on the way to the town.

There was no one on the way back. According to the villagers, Jiang Sui wanted to get home to be with his wife as soon as possible, so he rode alone and rode so fast that he left the rest of the villagers far behind.

Thinking of this, Liu Mei felt that she had deduced the truth.

It was Xiang Baiwei who didn't let Jiang Sui help her.

There is no other possibility besides this.

Except for her, no one would go to Jiang Sui and say bad things about themselves.

Only if Xiang Baiwei felt inferior and was afraid that she would defeat her would she do such a disgusting little trick.

After coming to the conclusion, Liu Mei clenched her other hand, which had not touched safflower oil, into a fist.

It doesn’t matter. If you don’t succeed today, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

It is impossible for Xiang Baiwei to lock Jiang Sui up at home. As long as she doesn't keep Jiang Sui under tight control, she still has a chance.

Thinking of this, Liu Mei, who had been feeling uncomfortable all night, finally felt better.

She just didn't believe that she, a girl from the city who had received a good education since childhood, would not be able to defeat Xiang Baiwei, a country girl who only had good looks but was actually stupid.

After Jiang Sui finished drinking the honey water, he ran to the yard to fetch water and wash himself.

With nothing else to do, Bai Wei tidied herself up, closed the curtains, and prepared to go to bed.

After lying down on the bed, Xiang Baiwei looked up patiently.

Jiang Sui in this life had a habit of saying a few words to her before going to bed every night.

I don’t know what magical ability he has, but he can always accurately guess whether Xiang Baiwei is asleep or not.

Xiang Baiwei couldn't even pretend to be asleep.

About seven or eight minutes later, Jiang Sui came back after washing up. He took off his shoes and sat on the kang. After sitting quietly for a minute, he asked Xiang Baiwei on the other side of the curtain: "Are you still asleep? Are you not too sleepy? Do you want to chat?"

Xiang Baiwei, who still had things to do in the space, pinched her nose and pretended to be sleepy: "Let's not talk today. I did a lot of work during the day. I'm a little tired now. I want to sleep. Let's talk tomorrow if there is anything."

Jiang Sui, who also had things to do, said "hmm", whispered good night to Xiang Baiwei behind the curtain, and then turned off the lights in the room.

After the lights went out, Xiang Baiwei closed her eyes and quickly entered the space.

The flow of time in this space is two or three months faster than in the outside world. Now the wheat in the fields outside will take at least two and a half months to mature.

But the wheat in the space is ready to be harvested.

If Xiang Baiwei were to harvest the wheat on a field of one and a half acres alone, it would probably take her a long time to finish.

Unfortunately, her current spatial level is still very low, and she cannot summon any new machines such as harvesters.

This space currently does not allow other people to enter. No matter how worried Xiang Baiwei is, she can only hold up the sickle and go down to the field alone.

A few days ago, she had already started harvesting the wheat in the space.

Fortunately, after all the busy work, only a small amount of the one and a half acres of mature wheat in the space has not been harvested.

Xiang Baiwei skillfully cut the remaining wheat, tied it neatly into a bundle, and carried it to a place specially set aside for drying grain in the distance. She spread the harvested wheat evenly on the ground, intending to dry it a little before continuing to grind it.

The wheat had space to protect it, and the harvest was incredibly good.

If Xiang Laogen could get in here, he would probably be so happy that he would never want to leave.

Xiang Baiwei squatted on the ground, broke off a wheat ear, and gently rubbed it with her hands, rubbing out a small pile of plump grains.

The aroma of wheat was strong. Xiang Baiwei picked up a grain of wheat, put it in her mouth, and bit it gently with her teeth.

The rich aroma of wheat instantly fills your mouth.

The wheat harvest was great, and Xiang Baiwei was a little hesitant. Should she process the wheat into semi-finished products and sell them, or keep them for other uses?

Before harvesting the wheat, she had already made up her mind that after the wheat was harvested, she would use her own small workshop to process it, and then find a way to sell it to the supply and marketing cooperative in the town or the county town.

If the quality is too good, there will be no problem selling it in the free market.

If there are a few more waves like this, the two older brothers and the younger brother in the family won’t have to worry about money to get married.

Here, one has to build a new house when marrying a wife, and Xiang Laogen and Wang Chunhua are quite worried about this.

My own life experience... is like that, but at least they raised me, a non-blood relative, to this age, and they still love me so much. Xiang Baiwei has always wanted to do her part to contribute to their future.

Just consider it as repaying the favor. As a member of the family, she has been treated very well.

Moreover, when she married Jiang Sui, her two brothers gave her all the money they had saved over the years.
