Chapter 16 Chapter 16

Someone came back to their senses and looked at the couple with teasing eyes.

Jia Guoda and Zhang Ruyu felt ashamed and were about to sneak away.

No one would let them go.

Seeing how lively it was, the more trouble there was, the better.

Someone spoke up to stop the gloomy couple and joked, "Look, your sister-in-law is here, Zhang Ruyu."

Zhang Ruyu stopped awkwardly and angrily scolded Jia Mingli, the wicked woman, in her heart. She just owed her family a few spoonfuls of cornmeal, but she was so petty and embarrassed her at this critical moment.

Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but they fly away separately when disaster strikes.

Zhang Ruyu was called to stop, but Jia Guoda not only did not stop with her, but also ran to the end of the rice field, as if to escape for his life, the farthest place from Jia Guoye.

His funny appearance made people laugh contemptuously.

...

Zhang Ruyu was so angry at her man's behavior of only caring about his own life that she could hardly breathe. She clenched her fists and could only face the embarrassment alone.

Zhang Ruyu laughed: "It's good that you're here, it's good that you're here."

Facing the teasing eyes of the crowd, she gritted her teeth and forced a very stiff smile, saying: "Why are you looking at me? I don't have any bad intentions. As a sister-in-law, I just saw that Guoye was too tired from being busy in the outside world, so I said a few more words."

She looked at Jia Yourui:

"Yourui, sister-in-law usually sees that you don't do much work. Guoye is really not easy. You should help your man more often."

Every second Zhang Ruyu stood here, she felt that her life span would be reduced by at least one day.

She really couldn't hold on any longer.

After saying this, Zhang Ruyu immediately ran away as if escaping.

There was continuous laughter all around.

…

Before Jia Yourui could say anything, she saw the woman who claimed to be Jia Guoye's sister-in-law turned around and ran away, and then everyone else started laughing.

?

Why is everyone acting so weird?

She looked at Jia Guoye in confusion and asked, "Why is she running? Why are they laughing?"

Jia Guoye glanced around.

He lowered his head and said to her, "Nothing special, don't worry about them."

The smile on Jia Guoye's lips showed that he was in a good mood.

Jia Yourui nodded and did not ask any more questions.

.....

"Come and teach me how to cut straw."

Jia Yourui squatted down excitedly, grabbed a small bunch of straw, and asked, "Is that so?"

Her hand swinging the sickle was firmly held by Jia Guoye.

Jia Yourui looked at Jia Guoye in confusion.

Jia Guoye came to his senses and quickly let go of her hand.

"That's not how you cut it."

He said in an unnatural tone, "It will hurt your hand."

The aftertaste of being held on her wrist lingered slightly, and Jia Yourui's face began to turn red.

"Yeah."

She whispered, "Brother Guoye, you come and teach me."

...

Jia Guoye nodded, walked to a position farther away from her, and squatted down.

He grabbed the rice stalks with his left hand.

"You have to grab it like this so that you can hold it steadily." He let go of his hand and demonstrated the technique.

Jia Yourui followed suit.

"Like this?" she asked.

"Yes." Jia Guoye said.

Then, he held the sickle to the stalks and patiently reminded: "The blade of the sickle must be facing downwards, otherwise it will hurt your hand."

He demonstrated, pulled the sickle hard, and a bunch of straw was cut neatly.

Jia Yourui followed the movements he taught her, slowed down, held her breath and concentrated on cutting the straw in her hand.

!

"Wow."

She grabbed the cut straw and immediately turned back to look at Jia Guoye.

Jia Yourui was overjoyed, smiling like a child, and said as if asking for praise: "I succeeded."

Jia Guoye's mouth corners slightly raised, "Yeah." He whispered: "Well done."
