In late June, the crops in the fields were ripe, and the production team ushered in the second busy farming season of the first half of the year—the summer harvest.
Wang Jiaxing returned the day before the summer harvest. In just a few days at home, he had lost a lot of weight, and people who didn't know him would think he had gone to do hard labor somewhere.
However, he was in high spirits and radiated a sense of freedom.
This time when he returned, he brought back a letter severing ties with his family.
"Your husband has really cut ties with his family?" Li Xiyue was still somewhat surprised by this news.
After all, Wang Jiaxing was known for his filial piety. For the sake of his family, he cut back on food and clothing and endured four years of hardship.
When she went back this time, she was worried that he would be controlled by his family, but she didn't expect that he would actually cut off ties with his family.
As Huang Xinrui handed her the medicine, she said, "His family went too far. They blamed him for everything that happened to Tian Lingling and even made him pay compensation to his aunt. He was completely heartbroken and decided to cut off all ties with his family."
She, Xu Shanshan, and Zhou Yunze faked injuries and asked for leave, going directly to school for summer vacation.
But their injuries must heal by tomorrow because it's busy with farming.
Even after becoming a teacher, I still have to work during the busy farming season, which is quite frustrating.
“It’s better for those families to break off ties.” Li Xiyue cut the dried medicinal herbs into small pieces, while Xu Baiwei packed them into bags.
Huang Xinrui nodded, "Who says otherwise? What kind of life has Lao Wang lived all these years for that family? They don't care about their son at all, but instead care about that wicked woman Tian Lingling. Their favoritism is so extreme."
"So what are your plans for the future?" Li Xiyue asked with a smile.
Huang Xinrui said, "I've discussed it with Lao Wang. Once we've saved enough money, we'll go back to the city, each of us will buy a job, go to work, earn money, raise our child, and make our life together."
"You guys are thinking really far ahead," Li Xiyue said with a smile. "The wedding isn't even over yet, and you've already planned out raising a child."
Huang Xinrui blushed. "We call this a long-term plan. What about you? When do you and your Commander Chu plan to get married?"
After becoming a teacher, she spent less time in the sun, and with the help of the ointment developed by Li Xiyue, her skin became several shades lighter, and she was no longer a dark-skinned girl.
"We don't know yet."
The Chu family's affairs haven't been resolved, so her maternal grandfather won't agree to her marrying Chu Xun anytime soon.
"Yueyue, you need to think this over carefully. Your Commander Chu is not young anymore," Huang Xinrui reminded her with a smile.
Li Xiyue smiled, "Thank you for reminding me, I will think about it carefully."
"My dear sister."
As the two were talking, Xu Guoqing rushed in, accompanied by Xiaobai, who was covered in sweat.
Li Xiyue asked, "Hey kid, where did you take Xiaobaiye this time?"
During the holiday, Xiaobai was lured away by Xu Guoqing and was almost never home.
"We've gone up the mountain. Look, this is our catch for today." Xu Guoqing waved a rabbit in his hand.
Upon closer inspection, Li Xiyue said, "This rabbit looks familiar. Could it be the one your brother Xiangyang released last year?"
Xu Guoqing grinned slyly, "Anyway, Xiangyang isn't here. Even if I eat the rabbit, he won't be happy. Sis, don't ruin my chances."
Li Xiyue made an outrageous demand, "Sure, as long as you give me half of the rabbit meat."
"You really are my sister." Xu Guoqing looked like he had been wronged, and took the rabbit to the kitchen.
Little White followed inside, drooling, chanting, "Eat rabbit, eat rabbit."
Smoke soon billowed from the kitchen, and the man and dog were busy as bees.
Li Xiyue wondered what Xu Xiangyang's expression would be if he knew that the rabbit he had worked so hard to rescue had been eaten by them.
But she didn't care. Even if they didn't eat it, the rabbit would be eaten by people or other animals anyway. It would be better if they ate it; it's good to keep the good stuff in the family.
Huang Xinrui stopped helping with the chores and ran into the kitchen, saying, "Little Comrade Guoqing, everyone gets a share!"
Xu Baiwei pretended to go inside to fetch water, and looked at Xu Guoqing with a smile, "Brother Guoqing."
