When Yu Jiao and Yu Fuling arrived home, the meal was already ready. Zhang's daughter Yu Gancao had brought her husband and daughter back to her parents' home, saying that they wanted to help the family harvest wheat.
The meal was already served in the main hall. Yu Fuling was very hungry after working for a while, so she simply washed her hands and went into the main hall to eat.
Yu Jiao's palms were pierced by wheat ears, leaving many small red blood spots. The base of her right hand was rubbed by the sickle, and she was sweating all over. She couldn't eat anything, so she fetched a basin of water and went back to the house to wash herself.
When I came out of the house after washing, Yu Fuling came in with a bowl of noodles and said, "Did you finish washing? Eat it quickly, the noodles are getting cold."
Yu Jiao nodded, took the bowl, said thank you, then sat in the house and started eating.
Yu Fuling was just about to say that Qizhe had specially reserved these noodles for her when she saw Yu Mengshan walking in with somewhat stiff steps.
He was not used to walking with his artificial leg yet, so he smiled and asked Yu Jiao, "Can I go to the fields to harvest wheat with my legs?"
Yu Jiao shook her head, "Not yet."
Yu Mengshan was a little disappointed. He knew very well that the third brother and his wife were not the hardworking types. It would be difficult for his wife to finish harvesting the nine acres of wheat field even if she worked herself to death. He could only go and persuade his eldest brother and his wife again.
After a short while, Yu Jiao finished the noodles in her bowl. She took the bowl and chopsticks to the kitchen, washed them, and searched the kitchen, but couldn't find the rice left for Song.
Returning to the east room, Yu Jiao asked, "Didn't you leave any food for Aunt Song?"
Yu Fuling filled two bottles of cold water and said with a smile, "I'm going to take food to my mother. Do you want to rest for a while? I'll go to the fields first."
Yu Jiao took the kettle from her hand and said, "No need to rest. I'll go with you."
Just as the two were about to leave the hospital, Yi Gancao came out from the west room and said with a smile, "Fuling, are you going to the fields? Don't leave yet, I'll go with you!"
Yi Gancao shouted towards the west room, "Han Qiu, hurry up!"
"I'm here!" A man's voice came from the room. A slightly fat man of medium build came out of the west room. Yu Gancao pulled him and said, "Your brother-in-law and I came back to help the family harvest wheat. Let's go to the field together."
Yu Fuling nodded, glanced towards the west room again, and whispered, "Sister Gancao, won't your aunt be angry if you and your brother-in-law go to the fields?"
Yu Gancao had heard Zhang complain about how she was angry about Zhizhou going to the county school, so he smiled and said, "Well, my mother is just angry, and she has to do the work in the fields sooner or later."
The four of them walked out of the yard and headed towards the farmland at the west end of the village.
Yu Gancao quietly looked at Yu Jiao several times, and said with a smile, "You are the fifth brother's wife, right? I was not back to my parents' home when you came in, so we haven't met yet. This is your eldest brother-in-law, Li Hanqiu."
Yu Jiao smiled politely and called out to Yu Gancao and his wife, "Big sister, big brother-in-law."
Li Hanqiu smiled and nodded. Seeing that Yu Jiao was pretty, he looked at her a few more times.
Yu Qizhe, who was returning from the fields to deliver food to the Song family, looked at Li Hanqiu coldly and said indifferently, "Sister, brother-in-law."
When Li Hanqiu saw Yu Qizhe, his expression changed. His family were all farmers, and they always respected scholars, especially Wu Lang, who had won the imperial examination. He raised his hand and bowed, saying with some awe, "Fifth brother."
Yu Qizhe calmly walked to Yu Jiao's side, blocking her figure, and then glanced at Li Hanqiu indifferently, and whispered, "I'll go down to the field with you."
Yu Jiao narrowed her eyes, "Do you want to go to the fields to harvest wheat?"
Without waiting for Yu Qizhe to respond, she continued, "No, your body can't take it, you should go home and rest."
Yu Qizhe lowered his eyes, said nothing more, nodded, and went back home.
After Yu Qizhe's figure walked away, Yu Gancao smiled and joked, "What did Fifth Brother just whisper to you? You two have a really good relationship."
