Chapter 39 Chapter 39

Jia Guoye washed the dishes and walked out of the kitchen.

Halfway through, he turned back and found a thin glass bottle in the cupboard.

When doing farm work, some people thought it was troublesome not to bring water, and some people only brought a bottle of water which was not enough, so they asked their family members to deliver water to the fields. The water deliverers usually carried the large teapot at home.

But Jia Guoye thought that she was not very strong and had an injury on her leg, so he chose a lighter container for Jia Yourui.

He washed the bottle, filled it with water, and placed it on the table in the living room. It was very conspicuous, and he made sure that Jia Yourui would see it when she woke up and walked out of the room.

After preparing the things that Jia Yourui needed to take out, Jia Guoye went back to his room to rest.

…

After waking up, Jia Yourui walked out of the house with her long, smooth hair, and saw the glass bottle full of water on the table. Jia Guoye

had already gone out, the sun was shining brightly, and there was a straw hat next to the glass bottle.

Thinking of how he had carefully prepared for her, Jia Yourui rubbed her sleepy eyes and smiled slightly.

She filled a basin with cold water, washed her face, and woke up.

Then, she tied her dense black hair into a bun and tied it tightly with a rubber band.

Jia Yourui looked in the mirror, picked up the key and put it in her pocket, put on the straw hat, and went out with the water bottle.

…

Jia Guo rolled up his trousers at his knees, holding the seedlings in one hand and planting them

with the other. A white towel was placed on his head and neck to protect his skin from the scorching heat. The sun was scorching, stinging his skin. There was no wind at all. The sky and the earth seemed to be a boundless steamer, with heat coming out continuously.

The more times like this, the faster you work, in order to make a full effort. Once you slow down or stop, and enjoy the relaxing feeling of resting, you will feel lazy and it will be difficult to cheer up again.

Many people complained in their hearts. Although Jia Yumin wanted to rest, she saw her sister working skillfully without complaint, so she gritted her teeth and bent down again.

Jia Guoye was more patient and able to endure hardships than anyone else. When others had rested, he continued to work.

The intense sunlight made it hard to open one's eyes, the heavy air made one's chest suffocate, and the body was filled with soreness from exhaustion. Some people's hands were peeling from the sun, some people's lips turned pale, and some people's minds began to become confused. Before they were about to pass out from heat stroke, they were supported by their families to sit under the shade of a tree, drink cool water, and breathe deeply.

Jia Guoda and Zhang Ruyu and his wife both sat in the shade to rest, and they took turns to drink a few sips of the water they brought.

"Ruyu, give me a massage on my waist." Jia Guoda turned his back to her and said, "It's the middle part. I feel so sore there that I can't feel it."

Zhang Ruyu sat paralyzed on the ground. She was so tired that she didn't want to move her fingers at all. She wanted to lie down.

She wanted to refuse, but seeing Jia Guoda's face full of grim endurance, and thinking that he was really suffering, she swallowed what she wanted to say, and reluctantly raised her hand to give him a massage on the waist.

"No, a hammer is useless." Jia Guoda frowned and said, "You have to pinch it for me twice."

"Pinch it harder." He reminded her worriedly, "Use more force."

Zhang Ruyu knocked his waist heavily and said unhappily, "Move it yourself."

She frowned and said impatiently, "It's good enough that I give you a hammer. My hands are so sore, and you are still picking on me."

Jia Guoda was hit by her powerful punch and cried out "ouch!". His already sore waist was in even greater pain, as if it was going to break.

"You woman." He had a painful expression and bared his teeth in anger: "Are you stupid? You dare to kill your man's waist? Don't you want to live a good life?!"

Zhang Ruyu had a bad temper. She said back without any hesitation: "That's all you have? Do you still need to protect him?"

"Tsk."

She showed contempt and disdain in her eyes: "Every time you prepare for so long, how many times can your waist move? I don't even want to say it."

Saying that he was not capable of such a thing really touched Jia Guoda's sore spot.

Jia Guoda's face turned red, then blue. Because there were people around, he suppressed his voice and said, "Do you have the shame to say such things in public?"

Zhang Ruyu immediately said, "No one is as shameless as you."

She was still holding a grudge and got angry when she thought of the last incident: "Before, with so many people watching, which grown man would be like you and abandon his wife and run away? Making me make a fool of myself?"

She said hatefully, "I was really blind. I was young and ignorant and was deceived by you. I gave birth to a son for you, served your parents, and had to worry about everything inside and outside the house..."

Jia Guoda clenched his fists, his nails piercing his palms and it hurt. Listening to Zhang Ruyu's endless complaints, he kept his head down and endured it.

......

Until Zhang Ruyu said:

"Born from the same parents, how come you are so much worse than your brothers? Not only do their wives not work in the fields, they don't even have to cook..."

"Shut up!" Jia Guoda's eyes were red, and he no longer cared whether people around him would notice it, and shouted at Zhang Ruyu.

The people around were shocked when they heard Jia Guoda's angry voice, and they all turned to look at them.

Zhang Ruyu was very strong and didn't want to be laughed at again, so she could only hold her temper and stop talking.

Her face turned red and white, and her teeth hurt from biting.

The couple sat opposite each other like this, looking at each other like enemies.

In Zhang Ruyu's sight, she could see Jia Guoye bending over and working hard, and her heart was filled with emotion.

......

Zhang Ruyu usually made fun of Jia Guoye together with Jia Guoda. Today was the first time that she compared Jia Guoye with him, saying that he was not as good as Jia Guoye. One can imagine how offended Jia Guoda was.

That cripple, that ugly freak, who was not loved by his parents, was worthy of being compared with him?

Jia Guoda's anger burned so fiercely that his whole body was hot.

The anger spread throughout his body, rushed into his brain, and hit his crown. He felt that his flesh and blood were swelling, and he wanted to curse and scream.

It was not to provoke Jia Guoda. Zhang Ruyu just uttered the voice that had been in her mind for a long time.

No one knew that she had always secretly admired Jia Guoye.

......

She met Jia Guoda when she was fifteen years old, then fell in love, and later married him. When she first entered the family, Jia Guoye had not yet been disfigured and lived at home. He was extremely disliked by his parents.

She originally thought that there was some secret about his life experience, perhaps he was not the biological child of his parents-in-law, otherwise how could he be treated so differently?

But she asked Jia Guoda, and Jia Guoda said with certainty that Jia Guoye was his biological brother, and there was no reason why his parents did not like him, they just did not like him, and his parents only liked him and his sister.

After hearing this, Zhang Ruyu felt very happy. Since Jia Guoye was so disliked, he would definitely not get much in the future when the family property was divided.

The final result even exceeded her expectations.

Jia Guoye got nothing and walked out of the house alone.

She is also a person, not a cruel and vicious woman.

Zhang Ruyu felt that this seemed not very good, but the biological parents and brothers and sisters were all heartless, so why should she be kind?

Whether at home or outside, Jia Guoda would use his brother as a topic of conversation and a joke, and she would follow suit.

But she didn't know when her mentality changed.

Maybe it was after Jia Guoye built a house with his own hands, or maybe it was because she saw him working silently, or more likely because she didn't have to do anything as his wife.

She said that he was too much dominated by his wife and didn't look like a man, but in her heart she couldn't help saying that this was like a man. Compared with Jia Guoda, who was always whining and complaining about being tired when working, Jia Guoye was a real man.

...

Thinking of this.

Zhang Ruyu slightly raised her eyelids and looked in the direction of Jia Guoye secretly.

He seemed to have not rested yet.

Wouldn't he be tired? She thought.

Suddenly, a touch of beauty appeared in her eyes.

Good looks, fair skin, and graceful figure.

The charming face made people's eyes brighten and their hearts tremble.

It was Jia Yourui.
