Liu Yuxi saw Jiang Hexi walking up and excitedly waved to her:
"Xi-mei, your leg injury hasn't healed yet, why did you come alone?"
Jiang Hexi said with a slight smile, "This place is to be transformed into Monet's Garden. The order and arrangement of every flower and plant are very particular. There is no room for error. You can't understand the artistic depth here just by holding a blueprint."
Liu Yuxi put her hands behind her back and crumpled the design drawings in her hands into a ball.
"Xi-mei, I feel really bad for burning you before."
She said apologetically, "I just wanted to take advantage of this time while you are recovering to oversee the construction of the garden for you. That way, both Yan Wang and I will feel much better."
Jiang Hexi completely ignored her sentiments, "So, it was Prince Yan who sent you here to supervise the construction?"
Hearing this from a great distance, Yan Jie, desperate to survive, said, "This has nothing to do with me."
Liu Yuxi felt as if she had been slapped in the face from afar, her cheeks burning hot.
"This is my intention."
"Now that you've come here, who will look after the crops in the fields and the free-range chicken farm on the hilltop?"
Seeing her cold, stiff face, Jiang Hexi retreated and said:
"Yu Xi, the team had its reasons for deciding to group the members this way."
She deliberately reminded him:
"You'll be leaving the farming variety show next time. We're not letting you take over the Sanxi Lake project because we're worried about handover difficulties. The aunties we've hired are helping with the work in the fields and chicken farm. We hope you can understand everyone's good intentions."
Liu Yuxi was rendered speechless by her words, but instead of getting angry, she laughed:
"Xi-mei, I'll leave this place to you. I'll go back to work in the fields and the chicken farm tomorrow."
She didn't show the slightest dissatisfaction throughout the entire process.
Jiang Hexi watched her walk out, and just from that, he felt a sense of awe and fear towards her.
Yan Jie waited by the stream.
He glanced at the twilight sky, thinking of carrying Jiang Hexi back on his back, when Li Youtian arrived in an oxcart at that moment.
"Xi-mei, are you done with your work here?"
"I'm done with work."
Jiang Hexi walked towards him step by step. "Uncle, did you send all the ducks to Professor Luo and his wife?"
“They gave them all to them. Mrs. Luo really liked those ducks. As soon as she got the box, she put them all into the pond.”
Li Youtian picked up the bullwhip, made room for her, and said, "Get on, I'll take you back."
Jiang Hexi hadn't expected that he still remembered her and would even give her a ride on his way back. Such hospitality made it difficult for her to refuse.
"Uncle Li, is this your oxcart?" Yan Jie walked around to the front of the cart and examined his oxcart.
“My car can only seat one person. If I take Ximei along, I can’t take you with me.”
Li Youtian didn't give him a friendly look. He still remembered how Li Youtian had caused Xi Mei to get burned last time.
"Did your ox eat any grass on this journey?"
"have eaten."
"Are you full?"
Li Youtian glared at him arrogantly, and then fell silent.
Yan Jie plucked a clump of tender grass and held it to the mouth of the yellow ox, which opened its mouth and began to eat.
“Uncle Li, this cow is clearly not full. It would be difficult for it to carry you back by itself, let alone with Xi-mei.”
Jiang Hexi walked to the oxcart and said regretfully:
"Uncle Tian, this is not a problem. I'll have plenty of opportunities to ride in your oxcart later."
Li Youtian hesitated and asked, "Then how will you get back?"
Yan Jie spoke up for her before she could, "I'll carry her back."
Jiang Hexi had to look at Yan Jie in a different light; if there was no opportunity, he would create one to take it on.
The group returned to the stone courtyard in a van.
After dinner, Chu Yang had some free time, so he suggested playing mahjong. None of the three men responded, so he went to find his three older sisters to join him.
Chu Yang carefully considered the situation. If he went to find Yu Xiangwan, he would likely be rejected by her in person.
But if he could persuade Jiang Hexi, given the relationship between Jiang Hexi and Yu Xiangwan, Yu Xiangwan would have no choice but to agree. In the end, they would be one player short, and with Liu Yuxi's easygoing nature, she would definitely agree immediately.
So he went to Jiang Hexi and said, "Sister Jiang, you've been having some bad luck lately."
Jiang Hexi perked up immediately upon hearing this, "How so?"
"Think about what's happened lately. First, you drank the wrong rose wine and almost made a fool of yourself on the live stream. Then, you were scalded by boiling water for no reason. Don't you think your luck is a bit bad?"
"Then how do I transfer the goods?"
Chu Yang told her mysteriously:
"In my hometown, there's a saying that playing mahjong can turn your luck around. If you have a good hand tonight and win big, your bad luck will naturally go away, and good luck will follow right after, right?"
Is it accurate?
"Judging from the personal experiences of those people in my hometown, it's quite accurate."
Jiang Hexi always liked to seek advice at the last minute. She believed that it was better to believe something was true than not, just in case her luck really did change.
She immediately made a decision: she was going to win big at the mahjong table that night!
Jiang Hexi immediately found Yu Xiangwan, who initially absolutely refused to play mahjong:
"I'm bad at cards and I can't stand losing. More importantly, I don't want to lose in front of the camera and deny it, which would expose my character."
“Your uncle is known as a gambling tycoon in Macau. Your family made their fortune in gambling.”
Jiang Hexi said provocatively, "Like father, like daughter. How come you can't even afford to sit at a mahjong table?"
Yu Xiangwan was completely enraged by her. She leaped up from the sofa and shouted:
