Chapter 22 Who is the real slut?
These words were not only told to Jiang Mingyue, but also to the other villagers who were eavesdropping.
If there is any gossip, just direct it at this old woman.
Not to mention the two children.
Both children are good.
Jiang Mingyue understood her grandmother's good intentions. Her eyes were a little wet. She glanced at Gu Dongqing who stood up, picked up the empty water bottle, took Manyue with her, turned around and left to go home.
When she finished cooking at home and returned to the field, she found that the field of more than one acre had almost been harvested.
The sun was too strong. Grandpa, grandma and Xinyue were resting under a tree, while Gu Dongqing was working alone in the fields, sweating profusely, as if he could not feel the scorching sun.
The speed did not slow down at all.
She had just started mowing when she got home, and in just over an hour, she had almost finished.
"The second girl is here."
When Grandpa Jiang saw Jiang Mingyue, he spoke first.
Jiang Mingyue walked forward and handed the basket over.
There were two small wooden barrels in the basket, one containing rice and the other containing vegetables.
Jiang Mingyue stir-fried beans with bacon and fried eggs with cucumbers picked from the yard.
In another basket were three clean lunch boxes filled with mung bean soup she had cooked.
This meal was very rich for their family, but Jiang Mingyue didn't think it was inappropriate.
After all, autumn harvest requires a lot of effort. If you don’t eat something good, you won’t be able to hold on.
"Xinyue, take out the food. I'll go call Comrade Gu to come and eat."
Jiang Mingyue picked up the straw hat from the basket and walked towards the field.
Gu Dongqing knew that Jiang Mingyue was coming, but he didn't stop and continued working.
At this time, no one was working in the nearby fields. Everyone was resting under the shade of the trees. He was the only one busy working, which was quite eye-catching.
Jiang Mingyue walked behind Gu Dongqing and said, "Take a break. Go eat and take a break."
Gu Dongqing raised his eyes and glanced at the rice that was only about two meters wide. He wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeves and said, "We'll take a rest after we finish harvesting here."
"no"
Jiang Mingyue was a little confused. "You are working for our family."
It's hard to believe that he is so busy that he doesn't even have time to rest and he says he is working for others.
Gu Dongqing understood her hidden message. He turned his head and looked at her with a smile on his face. "I'm here to show off. Shouldn't I show off better?"
"If I perform well, it's possible that Comrade Jiang Mingyue will soften her heart and agree to be with me, right?"
“…”
The man's shirt was soaked by the sea water, and the outline of the vest underneath was also wet, but he seemed tireless.
He could even joke with Jiang Mingyue.
Jiang Mingyue curled her lips and put the straw hat in her hand on his head.
"It's up to you. You can do it as long as you want. I'm not the one who's tired anyway."
After saying this, Jiang Mingyue turned and left.
Perhaps she herself did not realize that she now looked very much like a wife who was angry with her husband.
Gu Dongqing looked at Jiang Mingyue's back, pushed the straw hat on his head with his fingers, and clicked his tongue again.
"Girls who are tough on the outside but soft on the inside, it's easy to be bullied if no one protects you."
In previous years, the Jiang family harvested rice early and late, and it took about ten days.
This year, with the help of Gu Dongqing, who was like a humanoid machine, they harvested all the rice in five days, threshed it, and took it to the drying yard to dry it.
Their family was the fastest in the entire village.
This is all thanks to Gu Dongqing.
The weather was very good during the days when the rice was dried. After the Jiang family had been drying the rice in the field for about three or four days, they could dry all the rice and store it in the warehouse, ready to be delivered as public grain.
Gu Dongqing came to help harvest the rice, but he never came to dry the rice.
There were only five members of the Jiang family on the sun-drying field.
On the fourth day, I picked up a grain of rice and put it in my mouth. My tooth broke with a light bite. I spit it into my palm and found that the rice grain was the same color inside and in the middle.
This is dried and ready to be bagged.
Jiang Manyue and the old lady were responsible for carrying the bags, while Jiang Manyue and her sister and grandfather were responsible for pushing the spread out rice over and shoveling it into the bags.
Harvesting rice, threshing it, transporting it to the drying yard to dry it, and then transporting it back home to store it in the family’s grain warehouse is a very tiring job.
Even though Jiang Mingyue had been trying various ways to provide nutrition for the family these days, everyone had lost some weight visibly.
But no one complained.
Especially when seeing the bags filled with golden grains, it seems as if one has endless energy.
"Hey, Mingyue, didn't the old bachelor from town come to help your family with work today?"
A strange voice sounded from the side.
Jiang Mingyue raised her head and looked at the young woman who was walking towards her carrying rice. She was from the second house and was Aunt Jiang's daughter-in-law.
Hu Xingzi, her second cousin’s wife.
A gossipy woman who completely inherited her mother-in-law's traits.
Thinking of what he saw by the river before, Jiang Mingyue smiled coldly, "It's better for my cousin's wife to take care of her own business."
And then she went on with her work.
But Hu Xingzi seemed unwilling to give up. She threw the sack in the backpack onto the open space on the side, stood up and continued.
'I was wondering why you were so brave to come and rip off our family's money. Turns out you found a thug to back you up? "
After saying this, he looked Jiang Mingyue up and down and spoke meaningfully.
"It's good to be good-looking. Even if you are a whore who is ridden by thousands of men, you can still summon other men to come and go at will."
"Apricot Hu!"
Before Jiang Mingyue could say anything, the old lady couldn't help it.
He dropped the sack in his hand, picked up the broom and went to beat the man. "What are you talking about with your mouth open? The second girl is your cousin, your real cousin."
Although Old Mrs. Jiang is a little old and her eyesight is not very convenient, she can still hit someone with a broom.
No matter how crazy Myolie Wu is, she is still of the younger generation.
She doesn't have the courage to challenge Old Lady Jiang.
Jiang Mingyue watched the old lady chasing Hu Xingzi all over the field. She was worried that the old lady would fall, so she hurried forward to support her.
"Grandma, we are not afraid of our own flaws. Don't bother with her."
The old lady was indeed very tired after running around, and when her granddaughter came to persuade her, she naturally gave her this face.
"Myolie Wu, remember this, if I hear you talking nonsense again, I will tear your mouth to pieces."
After uttering these harsh words, the old lady turned around and went back to work.
Jiang Mingyue watched her grandmother walk to her seat before she retracted her gaze and walked up to Hu Xingzi with a faint smile on her face.
In a voice that only they could hear, she whispered in Hu Xingzi's ear, "Cousin, I wonder which one is better, my second brother or my cousin?"
"You are a slut in the truest sense of the word. What qualifications do you have to criticize me?"
