Yuan Jiang's temples throbbed twice, and his eyes fell on Pei Zhuo's angular profile that was inadvertently revealed.
Hot sweat slid down his chin and dripped onto his delicate collarbone, soaking most of his clothes. Below his protruding Adam's apple were his well-defined shoulders and neck, and below that was the faint curve of his chest muscles. Her beautiful eyebrows were furrowed.
What is Pei Zhuo doing?
Yuan Jiang was dissatisfied in her heart, but she had to admit that, ignoring Pei Zhuo's IQ, he was indeed a very good-looking man, tall and strong, with hard muscles all over his body, and his whole body was full of hormones. In addition, his deliberate flirting and seductive methods made the girls working nearby blush.
Yuan Jiang curled the corner of his lip, deliberately brushed past Pei Zhuo, and walked to Ma Hongxia: "Mom, drink some water."
Ma Hongxia was bent over cutting rice. The long hours of exposure to the sun had left her sweating profusely. Her face was slightly red and flaky, and she froze when she heard the familiar voice. She turned her head and saw Yuan Jiang, her eyes filled with surprise. "Hey, my wife, what are you doing out in such hot weather?"
"You're bringing me water! No need, no need. When I'm thirsty, I can just find a river and scoop some water to fill my stomach!" Ma Hongxia took the bowl of cold water from Yuan Jiang's hand with a smile, tilted her head back and drank it down with a gulp.
"Dad, you drink too." Yuan Jiang handed Pei Aiguo another bowl.
Pei Aiguo had been working all day and hadn't rested yet. His face was burning from the sun. Seeing Yuan Jiang, a smile spread across his face. He took the drink and gulped it down: "Thanks."
"Look at my wife here, she is so filial to her son." Pei Aiguo wiped the water stains from the corner of his lips and deliberately shouted loudly to the woman not far away who was mocking his stupid son for marrying an educated youth from the city.
These gossipy women never stopped talking since he started working, and they kept saying things like, "How could that educated youth Yuan like your silly son? He is just trying to avoid working, and he will run away sooner or later." "Be careful, or you will lose your son and your family. Girls in the city are precious. You paid 300 yuan for a betrothal gift to marry her home. Don't let her spend all your money and food and run back to the city. Silly Pei Zhuo won't even be able to find a wife!" "Village chief, you should also be more careful. Girls in the city are not marryable. You have to be careful." and so on.
Pei Aiguo's ears were callused from listening, but for every one word he said, these women could say a hundred words in reply. He could only shake his head and sigh, pretending not to hear.
The women on the side heard this and curled their lips in disdain, thinking maliciously in their hearts: Who can't pretend? He's so touched by just a gift of water that those who don't know would think it's golden water!
Pei Zhuo, feeling ignored, scratched his head in confusion. He put down his sickle and rushed to Yuan Jiang. He tugged at his clothes and glanced at her aggrievedly: "Wife, why didn't you call me?"
"Huh?" Yuan Jiang tilted his head and blinked innocently, "Oh, so our Pei Zhuo is here too. I didn't see him just now."
Pei Zhuo snorted angrily, "Wife, you're lying. I clearly saw you looking at me just now."
"You idiot are quite smart." Yuan Jiang took out a silk scarf and wiped the sweat off Pei Zhuo's face. She then handed him a bowl of water and asked, "Are you tired?"
Pei Zhuo took the bowl from Yuan Jiang's hand, tilted his head back and gulped down the liquid. His protruding Adam's apple slid up and down, sexy and seductive. The excess liquid flowed down his delicate jaw, down his neck, and finally into his collar. He put the bowl down, grinning like a fool, and shook his head vigorously: "I'm not tired, I earn work points to support my wife!"
Yuan Jiang chuckled.
"Wife, please go up quickly. There is dirty mud here. Don't get your shoes dirty." Pei Zhuo squatted down nervously and skimmed off the yellow mud on the edge of her shoes with his hands.
Ma Hongxia glanced at him and urged, "Yes, daughter-in-law, if you are bored in the house, find a cool place to watch us."
"Yeah." Pei Aiguo was not very good at speaking, so he could only nod vigorously following Ma Hongxia's words.
"This..." Yuan Jiang hesitated. She looked at Pei Aiguo and Ma Hongxia's sweaty faces, then at Pei Zhuo. She felt that it was inappropriate for her to go and rest. She bit her lip, a fearless expression on her pretty face. She picked up the sickle that Pei Zhuo had dropped and said, "I want to earn work points too."
"!!!" Pei Zhuo was extremely anxious and circled around Yuan Jiang: "Wife, you don't have to earn work points or do any work. I'll do it. I like working and I'll support you."
Yuan Jiang bent down and imitated Ma Hongxia's movements to cut rice: "Oh, then you should do more."
Pei Zhuo pouted and reached out to grab the sickle from Yuan Jiang's hand: "Wife, go up and rest."
