"Sigh, I wonder if Brother Minglei has already been defiled by her. If Brother Minglei still has feelings for her, then it's too unfair to Sister Xiaoke. What does a mistress have that makes her worthy of love and longing? Sister Xiaoke, don't you agree?" Tang Xiaoyun said, pushing Tian Xiaoke's shoulder.
Tian Xiaoke lowered her head and bit her lip. Before she met Xia Minglei, she was pure and innocent. She gave that purity to Xia Minglei early on, but she never expected that Xia Minglei would be so ungrateful. He actually found someone else in the countryside behind her back. Fortunately, she came in time. Otherwise, it would have been too late if they had really settled down.
Seeing that Tian Xiaoke did not go berserk and furious as she had hoped, Tang Xiaoyun was extremely disappointed. She had hoped that Tian Xiaoke would deeply hate Lin Yiwan and be eager to get rid of her, but now it seemed that Tian Xiaoke probably didn't have the guts. She probably would only hate Lin Yiwan in her heart and wouldn't dare to do anything. Thinking of this, Tang Xiaoyun knew that she couldn't place all her hopes on Tian Xiaoke. It seemed that she had to take a two-pronged approach.
"Sister Xiaoke, I kindly reminded you to be careful of Lin Yiwan, lest Brother Minglei be snatched away, and this is your reaction. Don't regret it when Brother Minglei is really snatched away." Tang Xiaoyun said one last thing, then picked up the basin on the table and went out to pour out the wash water.
Tian Xiaoke lay on her bamboo mat, closed her eyes, and tried not to think too much. Now that she was here and had made her relationship with Xia Minglei public, if Lin Yiwan had any shame, she wouldn't bother Xia Minglei.
Moreover, except for rainy days, she and Xia Minglei went out to meet every night. She didn't believe that Xia Minglei would still have the energy to go to Lin Yiwan again. She also didn't believe that Lin Yiwan's family would agree to let Lin Yiwan be someone's concubine, because that would be a disgrace to the whole family, and would make it difficult for young girls and boys to get married in the future.
That night, when Tian Xiaoke was with Xia Minglei, she really wanted to ask him about his relationship with Lin Yiwan, but she held back. Xia Minglei was very enthusiastic towards her in the dark, which meant that he had feelings for her. She couldn't ruin this relationship herself. She would first secretly find out about Xia Minglei and Lin Yiwan's relationship, and then let Lin Yiwan back down on her own.
"No..." Tian Xiaoke's breathing was disordered, "It's summer now and we don't wear many clothes, so don't leave marks on your neck, lest others see them."
Tian Xiaoke wrapped her arms around Xia Minglei's sweaty back and asked, "Brother Minglei, when are we going to meet our parents and talk about marriage?"
Xia Minglei turned Tian Xiaoke around, pressed her against her back, and whispered in her ear, "We're practically husband and wife now. Let's just stay like this, together every day, okay?"
His hot breath sprayed into her ear, making Tian Xiaoke involuntarily shrink her neck. She was so charmed by Xia Minglei that she no longer mentioned marriage.
In the days leading up to the double harvest season, Wenxi would go to the mountains to pick mushrooms every morning and afternoon when it was cool. Every few days, she would go to the waterfall to pick vegetables and melons. After dark, when Shen Jiaojiao and the others went out, she would weigh their harvest from the previous day and store it in the system warehouse. Then she would go to the back of the alley to collect mushrooms with some children, and afterwards, she would ride her electric bicycle around in the night, 'treasure hunting'.
This "treasure" isn't some kind of precious gem, but rather aquatic products that allow her to make money.
Every Thursday morning, after trading at the black market, He Chen'an would deliver a week's worth of supplies to Grandma Sun, showing her the exchange list so she would know how much of what she had taken out was left. On his days off, the two of them would meet in the town instead of going to the county seat, because it was too hot and the sweltering heat would hit them as soon as they stepped outside.
So Wenxi would hand over the pig feed for the next day a day in advance and have her aunt write it down for the next day. She would then leave early in the morning and meet He Chen'an in town for the morning. They would eat at a state-run restaurant and drink tea at a teahouse. Since there was no movie theater, they would go to the mountains in the town closest to the county seat in the afternoon.
There were tall trees by the mountain stream, and the huge shade beneath them was very cool. The two of them ate wild fruits and enjoyed the breeze by the stream.
They only see each other once a week, so before the busy harvest season, they can only see each other two or three times a week. The frequency of their meetings is not that high, since one lives in the county town and the other in the countryside, so it is unrealistic to see each other every day.
Previously, Wenxi cooked for everyone in the canteen, letting everyone know that cicadas, frogs, snakes, and small snails are all delicious foods. So now many people in the team have started to go out and catch these things to eat at night.
Therefore, the sisters Shen Jiaojiao, Jiang Yue, and Zhao Yuanyuan always went out together at night to avoid being targeted by others.
Of course, they would avoid the beams of other people's flashlights from a distance, trying their best not to let others see what they were grabbing. They were grabbing these things to exchange for money with Wenxi. If everyone else joined in, how would they make money?
Anyway, they run fast, and even if the team members encounter them, they won't recognize them in the pitch-black night. They'll just think they're like everyone else, out grabbing something to eat.
Wenxi had previously stored all these things in the system warehouse. Later, she signed out a huge fishpond, which was divided into thirty smaller fishponds, each with an area of two acres.
The fishpond is just like a real fishpond, with water that is deep in the middle and shallow at the edges, but there is no aerator in the middle. Maybe it's because this is a system fishpond and doesn't need those things!
Wenxi put ten palm-sized crucian carp into one of the fish ponds. After a few days, she did not see the crucian carp float to the surface with their bellies turned white, which meant that the crucian carp had not died. So Wenxi put large river shrimp, crayfish, eels, loaches and various fish into the small fish ponds according to the stocking density recommended in the aquatic encyclopedia.
They also released some of the fish and crab fry they had signed into the pond according to the breeding density, and planted lotus root, water chestnut, water bamboo, and celery in the small fish pond.
With this system of fishponds, Wenxi can develop its own large-scale fish farming, shrimp farming, and crab farming business.
Now, Wen Xi no longer thinks her sign-in system is inferior to the female lead's overpowered cheat ability. She believes her sign-in system is the best, always bringing her surprises.
That evening, after Wenxi finished trading mushrooms with the children at the back of the alley, she came out of the alley and saw Lin Yiwan and her three brothers standing outside her house. Apart from Lin Yiwan, the other three men each had a wooden cart in front of them, and the carts were full of firewood.
Two carts were filled with bamboo, and one cart was filled with wood.
