After putting down her luggage, Jiang Hexi came downstairs, still fuming.
Yu Xiangwan reminded her, "Did you just insult Yan Wang?"
"Yan Wang did such a despicable thing, shouldn't I scold him?"
Jiang Hexi said indignantly:
"He neglects his own pet duck and then bullies Chu Yang, making Chu Yang clean up his messes. He should either not raise the duck at all or take full responsibility for it. How can he push the responsibility onto someone else like this?"
Yu Xiangwan reminded her again, "You just yelled at Yan Wang."
Jiang Hexi looked at the grim live stream camera and instantly calmed down.
Her public image has collapsed.
In previous shows, she was wary of Yan Jie's cunning and petty nature, and always obeyed him. She had never lashed out at him like this in front of others.
She only knew to keep her distance from him, but she didn't know to avoid their intimate relationship in her words and actions!
Jiang Hexi turned pale with fright, and she hurriedly tried to cover it up:
"Wanwan, I offended Prince Yan in a moment of excitement. Oh no, what should I do now?"
Yu Xiangwan offered a half-hearted attempt to comfort her, saying, "Find an opportunity later and apologize to Yan Wang privately. He definitely won't make things difficult for you."
Jiang Hexi nodded heavily, hoping that this interlude could clarify her relationship with Yan Jie and put the matter behind her completely.
Shen Yingyu returned after taking a stroll around the village.
He put down his bicycle, went inside, and looked for Jiang Hexi, saying:
“Xi-mei, I just passed by the camphor tree at the entrance of the village. When the aunties and grandmas heard that you were back, they all ran home to get things, saying that they wanted you to give them a perm.”
Jiang Hexi brought plenty of tools and reagents for perming hair this time, and she asked uncertainly:
"Is it really necessary to rush over now?"
"It's extremely urgent."
Yu Xiangwan truthfully reported, "There is no food left at home. There are only two catties of rice and a box of free-range eggs left. The last cabbage was eaten by the ducks."
Jiang Hexi, bewildered by how they had ended up in this situation, remarked with deep emotion:
"We're really at our poorest."
Liu Yuxi watched as they hurriedly headed to the camphor tree to get their hair permed, carrying their tool kits.
She came downstairs, and the empty living room was now empty except for her.
She participated in the recording of the last farming variety show, but her presence was almost non-existent, and there was very little online discussion about her.
This was her last recording of the show; she couldn't stay invisible any longer.
She went to the backyard and found Chu Yang and Yan Jie, who were expanding the duck cages, and said:
"Xi-mei went to get her hair permed under the camphor tree, do you want to come over?"
"My sister is really something, she didn't even invite me to something as important as getting my hair permed."
Chu Yang muttered something, his mind wandering away, and he unconsciously put down the hammer in his hand.
Yan Jie declared, "You are not allowed to go anywhere until the duck cage is finished."
Liu Yuxi saw through Chu Yang's thoughts, smiled, and took the hammer from his hand, saying:
"Leave this to me, you go and get Xi Mei's hair permed."
"Really?"
Before she could respond, Chu Yang continued, "Thank you, Sister Liu. I'll go and get my hair permed for the aunties and grandmas right now."
Yan Jie watched him run off happily, and was about to call him back when Liu Yuxi suddenly asked:
"Prince Yan, is this where you're going to drive the nail?"
"Can you do manual labor? If not, put down the hammer."
Yan Jie, leaning on the dried bamboo pole, glanced at her indifferently.
Without saying a word, Liu Yuxi immediately used a hammer to knock the nail into the bamboo pole three times.
Seeing that the fence was nailed securely, Yan Jie took out another bamboo pole and gestured for her to continue hammering.
The two of them worked silently, and the scene was surprisingly pleasing to the eye.
[The Yan Yu couple are silent, but these two together are really interesting.]
[Yanxi CP fans: You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. The person upstairs, don't ship these people randomly, or Yanxi fans will bombard you with criticism.]
[Fans: Forget words, in front of the Yanxi CP, they're all just homewreckers, get out!]
[I've never seen anything like it before. These two notorious fandoms, who are usually so indiscriminate in their fighting, are actually united against a common enemy.]
Yan Jie went to the side to pick out bamboo poles, while Liu Yuxi took it upon herself to pick up two bamboo poles, fixing them in place while hammering and nailing them down.
Right there in front of the live stream camera, she brought the hammer down, and the nail pierced through the bamboo pole, violently breaking through her tiger's mouth!
"Ouch—" With a cry of pain, the hammer fell to the ground, and she curled up in a ball, writhing in agony.
Startled by the commotion, Yan Jie turned around and saw the bloodstains on the ground. He took two steps forward, grabbed Liu Yuxi's hand to check her injuries, but she forcefully stopped him.
"I...I'm fine—"
He forcefully pried her fingers apart and said domineeringly, "Don't move."
There was a bloody gash on the web of her hand, from which blood was gushing out.
Yan Jie pressed on the vein in the web of his hand and instructed the staff nearby to bring a first-aid kit.
He calmly poured iodine onto the wound, then took a piece of gauze, folded it into a square, and pressed it firmly against the bleeding point. He then wrapped the wound tightly with a bandage, layer by layer.
Throughout the entire ordeal, he never uttered a single word of complaint against her.
Director Chen rushed over upon hearing the news. He pushed through the crowd of onlookers and asked with concern, "Is the wound alright?"
"The nail punctured a wound, but thankfully it didn't damage any blood vessels or bones."
Yan Jie looked at Director Chen and said, "The nail is rusty; we need to take her to the hospital for a tetanus shot."
