Xiuhua followed her sister-in-law into the breeding farm and immediately saw Lin Taohong. The smile on her face froze.
Ning Jing keenly noticed that Xiu Hua's emotions had changed.
She glanced at her and saw Xiuhua give her a smile, just like usual.
Ning Jing thought that she might be overthinking things.
"Oh, Sister-in-law Meilan, your Taohong is so filial, coming to help you so early in the morning!"
She looked towards Lin Taohong and saw her holding a broom, glancing behind her, and then lowering her head in disappointment.
"Ning Jing, look at what you're saying. Whose daughter is this old and doesn't help with the chores?"
Look at your Xiuhua, she's several years younger than our Taohong!
"I come here every day to help you."
Su Meilan glanced at her daughter with satisfaction, then replied with a smile.
Ning Jing nodded, not thinking about it any further, and then asked Su Meilan to go to the composting area to check on the earthworms' condition over the past few days.
Lin Taohong and Xiuhua naturally fell behind them, out of sight of Ning Jing and Su Meilan.
Lin Taohong glanced quickly at her mother's back, then swiftly grabbed Xiuhua's wrist and pulled her to a corner.
"Where's Genlin? Why haven't I seen him today?"
Xiuhua felt Lin Taohong's nails digging into the flesh of her wrist, and couldn't help but cry out in pain.
"Sister Taohong, what are you doing? You're hurting me!"
Hearing Xiuhua cry out in pain, Lin Taohong immediately covered her mouth with her hand and glanced carefully ahead, seeing Ning Jing and her mother checking the size of the earthworms.
He then looked away, glared at Xiuhua, and said angrily, "Why are you shouting so loudly? Are you trying to tell my mother?"
Xiuhua forcefully pulled Lin Taohong's hand away and said, "Sister Taohong, if you want to know what Zhao Genlin is doing, just go find him directly. Why drag me into this?"
Besides, I already promised you last time that I wouldn't tell your mother. If you don't believe me, then forget it.
After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, Lin Taohong quickly pulled her away.
"Xiuhua, please help me! I truly love Genlin, but my mother wants to find a husband for me and keep me at home."
Could you please talk to Genlin and ask him to come out and see me?
Seeing her pleading expression, Xiuhua sighed.
"Sister Taohong, please don't make things difficult for me. Zhao Genlin already rejected you that day, what's the point of you continuing to pester me?"
Hearing Xiuhua's words of advice caused Lin Taohong's expression to change drastically.
"Did you hear Genlin reject me?"
Seeing her ashamed and indignant appearance, Xiuhua felt a little guilty.
"I didn't overhear on purpose; I just happened to witness it."
Sister Taohong, you said it yourself, your mother wants you to marry into her family.
Sister Guihua would definitely not let Zhao Genlin become a live-in son-in-law, so why do you insist on bringing him out?
Lin Taohong's expression changed repeatedly upon hearing Xiuhua's words.
Then she covered her face, squatted down, and sobbed softly.
"I only like him, Xiuhua, I beg you, please help me!"
Even without him, the Genlin brothers still have Genmu and Genshu!
Xiuhua choked upon hearing this.
Zhao Genmu is the eldest son of the Zhao family. Nowadays, which family would complain about having too many sons?
Unless a family is so poor that they can't even afford to eat, they would send their son to another family to become a live-in son-in-law.
