After watching Cheng Minggui and his son get on Yu Qingyou's ox cart, Hua Qingcheng returned to Ling Qing's grocery store in the town because she found that she had forgotten to buy seeds.
"Miss, do you still have wolves to sell?"
Looking at Hua Qingcheng who had returned, the shopkeeper Yao Jinlian felt like her heart was about to break. What kind of woman is this?
Hearing the shopkeeper's words, Hua Qingcheng's mouth twitched slightly. Did she really think that wolves were everywhere, like cabbages?
"Do you sell any crop seeds or seedlings here? Vegetables, fruits, anything."
"Yes, girl, take your pick of whatever you want."
Yao Jinlian asked the waiter to take Hua Qingcheng to a shelf. Hua Qingcheng saw leafy vegetables such as mustard greens, spinach, amaranth, lettuce, celery, and cabbage, as well as fruits and melons such as cucumbers, loofahs, winter melons, bitter melons, and pumpkins, as well as legumes such as green beans and peas. In addition, there were onions, ginger, garlic, garlic sprouts, and garlic shoots.
Hua Qingcheng was very satisfied seeing this and ordered a big bag of each.
Then the waiter took Hua Qingcheng to the backyard to look at the fruit seedlings. Hua Qingcheng decisively picked some lychee, longan, orange, peach, apple, banana and other fruit seedlings, and bought ten of each.
The seeds and saplings cost a total of 3 liang 450 wen. After paying the shopkeeper, Hua Qingcheng put all the seeds into her backpack and solemnly borrowed a cart from the shopkeeper. After pushing the saplings to a deserted alley, Hua Qingcheng dumped them all into the villa's courtyard.
After returning the cart and leaving Ling Qing's grocery store, it was around 4:45 PM. Seeing that Yu Qingyou's oxcart was still two and a half hours away from returning that afternoon, Hua Qingcheng simply returned to the market. After eating a bowl of noodles there, she took the opportunity to go to the toilet and returned to her space.
Seeing that the rice seedlings had already been planted, Hua Qingcheng started the pump, diverting water from the river to the previously cultivated land. After flooding, she used the rice transplanter to plant the newly cultivated rice seedlings in the paddy. Just as she had expected, the ten mu of land was perfectly planted with her seedlings.
Then, Hua Qingcheng used the rotary tiller to cultivate another ten acres of land. She found that the oil she had consumed the last time she cultivated the land had indeed been restored. After leveling the land, Hua Qingcheng used the ridging machine to form ridges, and then sowed some of each vegetable.
After planting rice and vegetables, Hua Qingcheng planted half of each fruit seedling in the open space.
After finishing all her work, Hua Qingcheng returned to the market. She happened to see the vendors packing up their stalls, so she bought some cakes. Seeing that it was almost time, she returned to the place where Yuqingyou parked the ox cart.
After boarding the bus, Hua Qingcheng gave the driver, Yu Qingyou, the money along with the fare she owed him for the morning. Returning to Huaqiao Village, Hua Qingcheng visited the Hua family, bringing some pastries and peaches she had packed in a backpack for her parents. Declining their requests to stay, Hua Qingcheng happily returned to the Hua family's old house at the end of the village.
When she thought of the husbands at home, Hua Qingcheng smiled and suddenly felt that it was a good feeling to have someone waiting for her, so she quickened her pace.
Outside the old Hua family house, Hua Qingcheng took out the fruit seedlings from the space, carried the basket on her back, and returned to the yard with the fruit seedlings in her hands. However, she inexplicably felt that the atmosphere in the house tonight was a bit weird.
After unloading the things, Hua Qingcheng returned to the main room, but saw an unexpected person.
"Why are you here?"
Looking at Cheng Minggui who appeared inexplicably in her house and her four husbands with gloomy faces, Hua Qingcheng felt a little overwhelmed.
"Thank you for saving my life today, Miss. Mingui is here to work off a debt."
After saying that, he started to do his housework, sweeping here and wiping there.
Cheng Minggui was no longer the dishevel he had been during the day. He had changed his clothes. Although he was wearing a coarse cloth shirt, he looked very clean and his hair was neatly combed, revealing a handsome face. Although he had given birth to a child, at the age of 20, he still had a good figure and was considered a handsome man in the village.
After hearing Cheng Minggui's words, the four husbands all looked at Hua Qingcheng with murderous eyes.
"Um, Cheng the widower, right?"
She seemed to remember that Hua Mazi had called him that before, but Cheng Minggui's face turned pale upon hearing that.
"You probably misunderstood me! This isn't the way I meant to pay off debts with work..."
"I...I understand."
Cheng Minggui seemed to hesitate for a moment, then said something as if he had made up his mind.
"Oh, I understand. You don't have to work any more. It's getting late. Go back to your own home."
After Cheng Minggui left the main hall, Hua Qingcheng, under the creepy looks of her four husbands, ate all the food Situ Ye had cooked that morning. There was half-cooked rice and three dishes of food that were hard to tell what they were: one was salty and bitter, one was sour and sweet, and one had no salt and was not cooked.
"Let me explain..."
Hua Qingcheng finished her meal in tears. As soon as she opened her mouth, her four husbands turned around and left without paying any attention to her.
After taking a shower, the lonely Hua Qingcheng stayed under a tree in the front yard to enjoy the cool air. She closed her eyes, bent one leg, and lay on a big rock to think about life.
Did she save people and avert disaster? How could Cheng Minggui repay a favor? It was simply revenge!
Hua Qingcheng, who was feeling irritable, suddenly felt a pair of cold hands touching her temples and massaging her. Hua Qingcheng immediately felt her fatigue relieved a lot.
"I know you're the best to me, Sanlang!"
Grabbing the hands above her head, Hua Qingcheng smiled happily, but when she opened her eyes, she saw Cheng Minggui's pretty face.
Hua Qingcheng was so scared that she quickly shook off the other person's hand and jumped up from the stone.
"You, you, you...why are you here? Didn't I tell you to go back?"
"I know I am not worthy of you, young lady, so I am here to work to pay off my debt!"
As he spoke, Cheng Minggui unbuttoned his clothes, revealing his smooth chest.
“Stop! Stop! Stop!”
Hua Qingcheng hurriedly stopped him. She seriously suspected that this guy's train of thought was a little inconsistent with hers.
"Hua Qingcheng!"
Was it Han Yichen's voice? Hua Qingcheng turned around and saw her third husband walking away angrily.
Mu Lige glared at her and left. Situ Ye looked at her and left without saying a word. Yu Xiaotian looked at Hua Qingcheng, then at his three brothers who had left, and then followed suit.
"Cheng Minggui! Are you sure you're repaying a favor? You're simply seeking revenge! Look how mad you've made my four husbands!"
"Get out of here right now!"
The furious Hua Qingcheng had no choice but to chase him out. In order to avoid suspicion, she even took a stick to avoid touching him.
