Chapter 17 Chapter 17
He encouraged her like teaching a child.
Feeling the curious gazes from all around, Jia Yourui's face flushed.
...
Jia Guoye continued to teach her in detail.
He said, "Grab the cut straw and continue the previous action."
As he said that, he quickly cut another clump of straw.
Jia Yourui watched intently. Jia Guoye looked
at her and gestured, "It's enough for you to cut two clumps at a time, and then pull a straw leaf to tie them together like this, and put them on the pile of straw."
He stood up and put the straw in his hand on the pile of straw.
Jia Yourui nodded, smiled and said confidently, "I can do it."
Jia Guoye was still a little worried.
He walked to her side, bent down and reminded her, "Slow down, don't hurt your hands."
The distance between the two was very close.
Jia Yourui's heartbeat quickened slightly.
She nodded: "Okay."
...
Jia Guoye stood up and returned to the original place to continue cutting straw.
The two of them cut straw in the same direction, one in front and one behind.
Jia Guoye was much faster. Not only was he nimble, but his hands were also big, so he could cut many clumps in a row at a time.
Jia Yourui was like a little snail, grunting and moving slowly forward behind.
Jia Guoye was worried about her and looked back at her from time to time.
...
Jia Yourui bent down to cut two clumps, then stood up to put the straw in the pile.
After a few rounds, her waist was so sore.
The sun was scorching, and her skin, which was used to the comfort, was slightly painful.
Especially her back and waist, which were like being tortured, painful and hot.
She gritted her teeth and watched Jia Guoye's incredibly fast progress, and felt that he was amazing.
...
The young couple was busy one after another, and the man kept looking back, worriedly looking at his young wife who was unfamiliar with the work.
Although the beautiful young wife worked slowly, her hands were never idle and never lazy.
This scene was amazing to watch, and undoubtedly shocked many people.
...
The busy people in the rice fields slowly pushed forward and harvested the rolling rice waves.
"Yumin, what are you dawdling about? Hurry up."
Zhang Xiuhua saw that Jia Yumin was absent-minded and didn't cut the rice every time, and her mood, which was already restless due to physical fatigue, was further fueled.
She scolded her daughter harshly, "There is not much labor in our family, and your father is the only man. Why are you still slacking off here and holding us back?"
"If you delay the progress of rice planting, don't you think your father will punish you?"
"I know, mother." Jia Yumin frowned and said impatiently, "Don't scold me, I'll start cutting quickly."
"Oh, you are so unhappy after I said a few words to you?"
...
Jia Yumin did not reply to her mother, otherwise the mother and daughter would probably quarrel.
She swallowed what she wanted to say, feeling very aggrieved.
She gritted her teeth and hated Jia Yourui who had distracted her just now.
How old is she, but she can't even cut straw, and she needs to be taught. She wants to be praised after she learns it?
She is so spoiled.
She is so naughty, does she really think she is a princess?
She was filled with anger. They were both human beings, but how could they be so different?
Jia Yourui had never worked in the fields since she was a child. She was known to be spoiled and raised by a woman. She only learned to cut straw when she was a child.
Even though she lost her reputation later, someone wanted to marry her. She married Jia Guoye and did nothing like a housewife. She didn't even cook. But Jia Guoye was honest and didn't care about her flirting with men. He provided her with good food and drink.
On the other hand, because her mother gave birth to a daughter as the first child, the whole family was looking forward to the birth of a boy. She was even rejected when she was born.
Because there were no young men in the family, she and her sister had to help their parents with farm work since they were young.
She learned to cut straw at the age of seven. As she got older, she had to do more work, and if she didn't do it well, her parents would scold her.
Even though they were both daughters, her elder sister lived a much happier life than her.
Because her elder sister was the first child, her grandparents and her parents could accept having a daughter. Moreover, her elder sister was generous, mature and sophisticated, and always had a smile on her face. She was praised by everyone at home and abroad, so she was much more favored than her at home.
Later, her elder sister married a very good family. Her brother-in-law was tall and strong. Her elder sister didn't have to work in the fields as before. She only had to help her mother-in-law with housework.
Jia Yumin felt sour. She didn't want to work and wanted to rest, but she didn't dare to say it.
Her mother would scold her to death for such a rebellious remark, even before her father would beat her.
Jia Yumin only hoped that she could marry into a good family like her sister, and live an easy life from then on.
She raised her head slightly, glanced at Jia Quanhui from a distance, and her face began to get hot.
Afraid that others would notice, Jia Yumin immediately lowered her head, her heart full of sweetness.
Brother Quanhui is very good.
He works as a technician in a factory in the county. He gets paid every month, and he is also hardworking. He helps with housework during holidays.
The most important thing is that there are many laborers in Brother Quanhui's family. He has two older brothers, so it is definitely not the third daughter-in-law's turn to do the work in the fields.
It's not like her family, where she has to do all the work inside and outside the house.
Jia Yumin fantasizes about her life after marrying Jia Quanhui, full of hope.
If she gets married, she will definitely live better than her sister.
But, Brother Quanhui...
Thinking of this, Jia Yumin feels emotional.
Brother Quan Hui is good in everything, but how come his vision is so bad?
She saw with her own eyes that Brother Quan Hui and Jia Yourui, the vixen, were very close to each other by the river. Brother Quan Hui was flattering and coaxing the troublemaker with a big smile on his face.
She gritted her teeth and cursed in her heart that Jia Yourui would suffer soon.
...
"Ah."
Jia Yumin was lost in thought and was startled by the sound.
She was very close to Jia Yourui, so she could clearly hear Jia Yourui's cry of pain.
Jia Yumin turned around immediately.
Jia Guoye dropped the sickle, looked anxious, and strode towards Jia Yourui.
