Chapter 15 He held the soft Mingzhu

The midsummer at the end of July was the hottest time of the year. Even in the morning, the sun was scorching, and there was no shade on the embankment, so it was even hotter.

Mingzhu was almost exhausted just by climbing up the embankment. It was not that she was timid, but she really couldn't do the work of digging soil and moving stones!

Jiang Duo jumped into the canal, looked up at Mingzhu who was still standing on the embankment, and stretched out his hand to her, his voice as cold as always: "Come down."

Mingzhu squatted down, put one hand on Jiang Duo's hand, pressed the ground with the other hand, and carefully stepped on the pit in the canal to go down the canal.

She looked around and asked, "What should I do?"

Jiang Duo took off his army green shirt, wearing only a blue and white checkered vest inside.

Mingzhu is short, with her head right at his chest. She looked at his strong chest muscles that held up his vest perfectly.

Even though she was a doctor and was used to men's body structure, she blushed unconsciously on her fair and pretty face when she saw Jiang Duo, who had just played poker with her yesterday.

Jiang Duo didn't notice her expression, he just folded his clothes and put them on the stone, and said calmly: "Sit here, you don't have to do anything."

Mingzhu: "Hmm?"

"I'll do your job." When he said this, everyone around him heard it.

Several rough old men immediately started to joke -

"Captain Jiang is great, he loves his wife even before she gets married!"

"Captain Jiang, are you freaking out? Women can't get used to that."

"That's right, there's no woman in Xiaojing Village who follows a man to work without doing any work."

"Captain Jiang is such a big guy, is he afraid of his wife? That would be embarrassing for a man!"

"..."

Qiao Bin, who was standing aside, felt a little unhappy when he heard his boss being teased by these people.

In the final analysis, it was all because of Mingzhu, who had a bad reputation!

His boss was a man of few words, and he didn't argue when he was teased. He just picked up the shovel and buried his head in his work.

He was about to say something to help, but Mingzhu interrupted him.

The little woman smiled at the old men and said, "Uncles and old men are right. The women in our village are probably blind. The men they find are useless. They work for them every day and get beaten when they go home. Compared with your wives, I am really lucky!"

This group of "useless" men were scolded in such a sinister way. I don't know if it was because of Mingzhu's bad reputation or because they didn't want to argue with women. Anyway, everyone frowned and stopped talking and went to work.

Qiao Bin looked at Mingzhu with a high opinion. Maybe... fierce women also have their advantages. They are not bullied.

Feeling his gaze, Mingzhu smiled and waved to him, "Hello, Captain Qiao."

Qiao Bin was caught peeping, and awkwardly shifted his gaze, replied "Hello", and quickly went to work.

Mingzhu sat in the poorly ventilated corridor, and soon she was soaked by sweat. There was no air conditioning and no cool breeze. Hmm, I really want to eat a popsicle!

She squeezed open the round military water bottle and drank two sips. She saw that her man's vest was soaked, and a layer of sweat was on his wheat-colored skin...

Seeing that others worked for a while and rested for a while, Jiang Duo worked all the way to now.

Mingzhu immediately stood up and walked over, handing him her water bottle attentively -

"Jiang Duo, stop for a moment and drink some water."

Jiang Duo stopped and turned to look at her flushed face, "Drink it, I brought some water, it's with Qiao Bin."

Mingzhu heard the meaning of rejection, so she simply forced the water bottle into his hands, imitating the original owner's tone, somewhat overbearing: "Just drink this! I'm not sick, I won't infect you."

Jiang Duo didn't mean that, but he didn't explain in detail, he just picked up her bottle and gulped down a few mouthfuls.

Mingzhu's bottle was filled with cool water, which was a little warm from the sun, but it didn't affect the taste.

After Jiang Duo finished drinking, he felt... very comfortable, as if he was filled with endless energy.

Mingzhu covered the kettle he brought back and said, "Everyone knows to take a break, so you should take it easy too. The work can't be done all at once."

"I have to go out in the afternoon, so I'll do more in the morning to make up for it."

Mingzhu thought about how hard he worked and how much responsibility he had, so she couldn't help but say with a guilty conscience, "I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble."

Jiang Duo frowned at her. Sometimes she was so polite that people would think... she wasn't a country girl who had never seen the world.

As he was thinking, he noticed from the corner of his eye that someone had sprained his ankle above the channel, and that person was holding an oval stone thicker than his waist!

The stone fell down the channel and hit Mingzhu directly.

Mingzhu only heard a sound of "ouch" from behind and above her head. She subconsciously wanted to turn her head. The next moment, her waist was tightened. It was Jiang Duo's strong arms that hugged her, picked her up and put her directly into his arms!

Jiang Duo took a step back to avoid it. The stone fell to the ground in front of the two of them, stirring up a large amount of dust!

Mingzhu was choked with dust before she could react to what happened.

After seeing the big stone in front of her, her eyes suddenly widened... If Jiang Duo hadn't reacted quickly and had great strength, and had held her away like a chick with one hand, she would have been killed!

Jiang Duo looked at her sideways, with a trace of anxiety in his eyes that he himself did not notice, "Are you okay?"

"Nothing... Fortunately you are here."

Mingzhu said, and her little hand did not forget to touch the man's chest, trying to stand firm.

Jiang Duo then realized that he was still holding the soft little girl.

If this were to get out, it would affect her reputation.

He quickly let go of her hand and stepped away.

When Qiao Bin heard the noise, he ran over and said anxiously, "Boss, are you okay?" "I'm

fine."

The two people who were almost hit remained calm, but Qiao Bin was a little annoyed. He looked up at the people on the channel and said unhappily, "You all be careful. If such a big stone falls and hits someone, can they still survive?"

Mingzhu raised her eyes and noticed at a glance that the person standing on the channel was Ming Dayou's nephew Mingzhe.

Mingzhe grinned apologetically, but his tone was a little proud: "Oh, sister Mingzhu, I'm sorry! My hand slipped, you see, I fell and got hurt, you won't blame me?"

This guy clearly did it on purpose. If it was the original owner, she would have jumped out of the channel and fought with Mingzhe!

But Mingzhu is not the original owner. It is very tiring to climb up the channel and spread it in such a hot day. She is lazy.

This account will be doubled later.

"Brother Mingzhe said it was not intentional, why should I blame you? It's just... it was not intentional once, but if it happens again, it will be hard to explain."

She raised her lips, and her sweet face was obviously smiling, but that smile made Mingzhe, who was standing on a high place, feel nervous for no reason.

His task today was to create an accident, let Mingzhu bleed, and it would be best if she was smashed into a fool!

It was an accident anyway, no one could do anything to him.

Even if he failed, he had to let Mingzhu vent in front of Jiang Duo, so that Jiang Duo would hate her as a shrew.

But... why didn't she play by the usual routine?

It is said that there must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary, and Mingzhu is not right——
