Chapter 71 Should I earn some extra money?
"alright."
Lin Baozhu held the spoon to his lips, her little finger, which was holding the spoon handle, gently brushed against Qin Haifeng's chin, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
In an instant, he felt a tingling, electric-like sensation explode from his lips, sweeping through his entire body and igniting a dormant excitement and desire deep within him...
Seeing that he was standing there motionless, Lin Baozhu pressed the spoon against his lips.
"What are you standing there for? You're not afraid of hardship, are you?"
"No..." Qin Haifeng squeezed out a word in a hoarse voice, then opened his mouth abruptly, his Adam's apple bobbing as the bitter medicine spread in his mouth, making his eyes red. Then, an overwhelming heat spread throughout his body. Finally, he took the bowl, closed his eyes, and drank it all in one gulp. The instant he finished, Lin Baozhu stuffed a peeled milk candy into his mouth...
However, in the instant she was about to insert the candy, her index finger brushed against his tongue almost imperceptibly, and then, while he remained stunned, she slowly withdrew her hand...
Lin Baozhu looked at the masterpiece she had created with a smile, while the man's sharply defined face was tense, and the karmic fire in his eyes seemed to want to scorch her.
"Once you've finished your medicine, rest well. We'll have hot pot together tonight."
Without waiting for Qin Haifeng to speak, he picked up the medicine bowl and turned to leave...
The bright yellow dress of the dress drew a light arc at the doorway, and the curtain fell, blocking out the glaring sunlight.
The room instantly darkened, leaving only the strong smell of medicine and Qin Haifeng, whose mind was racing, breathing was labored, and his chest felt like it was being repeatedly kneaded and scratched by cat claws. He was on the verge of exploding between shame, anger, and desire.
A moment later, he slammed his fist into the earthen wall beside him, making a dull thud.
"Hold!"
The low curses were filled with suppressed restlessness and a strange, surging desire; his throat was parched. He licked his increasingly dry lips, and the flame in his eyes grew even fiercer and more scorching.
In the kitchen, Lin Baozhu hummed an off-key tune as she washed the dishes. The water gushed out, and a sly, triumphant glint flashed in her eyes, like a cat licking its paws after stealing some oil.
Tsk, a tough guy? Remaining unmoved? Look at him just now, practically biting the hook but holding back, his eyes practically red... it won't be long before this kid loses control...
I had just finished washing the dishes when I heard footsteps coming from the yard. When I went out, I saw Shi Hanqiao [Qin Haifeng's mother].
"Auntie?"
"Baozhu, how is Haifeng's injury?"
"It's not ready yet, Auntie, come inside quickly. My mom is making sauerkraut and pork trotter hot pot today. Don't leave today, eat at my house."
"No, no, I came here today to deliver grain and to take Haifeng home to take care of him."
At this moment, Lin's mother came out of the main room and said with a smile, "That won't do. Haifeng was injured while saving me. He must be healed before he can leave. Otherwise, what will the villagers say about me?"
After saying that, she grabbed Shi Hanqiao's hand and sneaked aside, whispering, "Didn't we agree that Haifeng would stay at my house so the two kids could get to know each other better and develop a relationship? You can't go back on your word."
Upon hearing this, Shi Hanqiao nodded quickly.
“What my sister-in-law said makes sense, so we won’t take him back.”
After finishing work today, she heard from the team leader's wife that Baozhu now has two jobs, while Haifeng is injured and has no job for the time being. She was worried that the Lin family would look down on Haifeng, so she hurriedly came with food. Firstly, to take her son home to take care of him, and secondly, to try to find out what the Lin family thought.
To her surprise, the Lin family showed no disdain whatsoever, and she could finally put her mind at ease.
"I'll go check on Haifeng first."
"Go ahead, bring your kids over for dinner tonight."
"good."
Lin Baozhu looked at the two of them in surprise. She had always thought that her mother let Qin Haifeng stay at her house because she was grateful to him for being injured while saving her. She never expected that the two of them were actually...
Lin Baozhu let out a breath. To be honest, Qin Haifeng was really her type. The more she spent time with him, the more she liked him, which was why she went to such lengths to seduce him and set the trap...

Shi Hanqiao entered Qin Haifeng's room and, seeing her son dressed neatly and tidy, smiled and asked, "Haifeng, how is your wound healing?"
"It's already scabbed over, and it'll be almost completely healed in a few more days."
Speaking of this, Qin Haifeng couldn't help but marvel at the quality of the medicinal powder Lin Baozhu used; it was far more effective than the medicine his mother had accidentally obtained years ago. Wounds that would normally take at least twenty days to heal were almost completely healed in just a few days after using this powder.
"That's good, Haifeng. I was worried today that Baozhu would... I didn't expect the Lin family to be so kind. They don't mind that you're freeloading at all. Once you're healed, you should go to work as soon as possible. Although you look like you're a freeloader, you can't actually be one."
Qin Haifeng: ...
"Mom, don't worry about this. I know what I'm doing."
Thinking about his time with Lin Baozhu, he couldn't help but tremble. But matters of the heart can't be rushed, and he couldn't let Baozhu think he was being reckless.
He planned to dig traps gradually, luring the young girl in little by little...
"Let me tell you, Baozhu has two jobs now, so there must be a lot of people watching her. If you don't work hard, she might get tricked by someone."
Qin Haifeng chuckled softly. How could he give anyone else a chance to get close to the person he had his eye on?
However, he has stayed long enough, and his injury has almost healed, so it's time for him to report back to his workplace.
The young woman has two jobs, and so does he. One is in the open, and the other is in the shadows, but he earns a good salary, which is all his savings for his future wife.
"Mom, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. We were supposed to eat here tonight, right? Then hurry up and let your aunt go help."
"Okay, then you should get some rest."
Far away, Lin Baozhu saw that it was still early in the sky, so she simply carried a large bucket of mung bean water to the nine-tenths of an acre of land behind the yard.
At this time, the greenhouses on the nine-tenths of the land had been set up, and Lin Sanlang was sitting on the edge of the field, talking and laughing loudly with someone.
Looking at the completed greenhouse, Lin Gou Dan exclaimed with admiration, "Third Brother, how did our sister's brain develop? How can she be so smart?"
After saying that, she continued, "I used to only dare to dream about this greenhouse, and I never thought of taking that step, but Baozhu actually did it."
Lin Gou Dan's family was poor, and he had relied on his sick grandfather since he was a child. They were the poorest family in Da Ge Ba Village, but he was quick-witted and could learn anything very easily.
Lin Baozhu's voice rang out behind them: "Brother Gou Dan, have you ever thought about building a greenhouse before?"
"Oh, Baozhu's here?"
"It's hot, so my mom made some mung bean soup. It's already cooled down. You should drink some to cool off."
Lin Baozhu poured a bowl for each person, adding white sugar to the mung bean water, making it sweet!
While they were drinking mung bean soup, Lin Baozhu asked, "Brother Gou Dan, how much do you know about greenhouses?"
Lin Sanlang has to go to the black market every few days, and he also has to work during the day. If he could find a suitable person to manage the greenhouse, it wouldn't be a bad idea.
"When I was in school, I read a miscellaneous book about greenhouses. Later, I grew chives and garlic sprouts indoors during the winter, and they grew quite well. You have to control the humidity and temperature very well..."
Lin Baozhu's eyes lit up as she listened to Gou Dan's eloquent explanation.
“Brother Gou Dan, if I hand this greenhouse over to you, can you manage it? Don’t worry, I won’t let you work for nothing. I’ll give you five yuan a month for your hard work.”
"Me? Can I do it?"
"Why not? Just think of this greenhouse as the chives you grow in your house. Don't worry, I've already started cultivating the seedlings, and they'll be ready to be planted soon. Then you can have complete control of the greenhouse. If you have any questions, you can ask me!"
Dog Egg's face lit up with joy: "Since Sister Baozhu has taken a liking to me, then I'll take this job."
When the others saw that Gou Dan had gotten the job so well, they all looked at Lin Baozhu with longing eyes!
“Sister Baozhu, look at us! We’re still hungry…”
Lin Baozhu looked around and, seeing that no one else was around, lowered her voice and asked, "Do you want to earn some extra money?"
