The rural doctor is busy with farming, and her abstinent husband can't bear it

Soon, the two returned to the village. The villagers looked at them curiously and showed great interest in the rich products in their backpacks and the rabbits and pheasants in their hands.

Faced with inquiries, Su Yu chose to be honest.

After all, this mountain belongs to no one, and there is no point in sharing resources and keeping them to oneself. Besides, not everyone has the courage to embark on such an adventure.

When everyone learned that they had bravely ventured into Yunqiu Mountain, their envy turned into admiration, and they felt that the two of them were indeed very courageous.

Some people even lamented that if the men in the family were able to afford the cost, why would they let the two women take such a risk?

After walking a few steps further, I passed a pond where the village children often released ducks. I saw three little girls sitting neatly on the shore, watching the ducklings foraging for food attentively.

Xie Xinghua quickened her pace and asked anxiously, "I told you to be good and obedient at home, why did you all run out?"

San Ya's shoulders drooped slightly, and there was a hint of helplessness between her brows, as if she was carrying not only the weight of the ducks, but also the difficulties of life.

She said, "We all want to spend our days leisurely at home, but those ducks seem to have set alarm clocks. When the time comes, they keep quacking. The sound goes straight into people's hearts and makes them feel uneasy. We have no choice but to take them for a walk outside to make the house quieter."

Xie Xinghua looked at San Ya, without any blame in her eyes, only full of care and worry. She was afraid that these girls would encounter the two little bullies in the village again, those troublemakers always liked to pick on them.

At this time, San Ya's sharp eyes had already caught the rabbit and pheasant in Su Yu's arms, as well as the full of wild fruits in Xie Xinghua's backpack.

There was a sly smile on her lips, as if she had discovered a treasure: "Oh, look at this harvest! Where did you get so many good things? Tonight, our table will be full again."

San Ya's words were full of desire for delicious food. She was a real foodie and her eyes lit up immediately when food was mentioned.

Xier was also attracted by this topic and came over quietly. Her eyes revealed her infinite yearning for the wild fruits in the mountains.

To her, those fruits are not just food, but a sweet gift from nature. The interweaving of sour and sweet tastes just dispels the stuffiness and irritability of summer.

Seeing this, Su Yu ordered San Ya to drive the ducks back home.

San Ya opened her mouth and uttered a few unique and loud whistles. The little ducks seemed to understand the instructions. They swayed onto the shore one after another, and consciously lined up in a row, following Xier. The scene was both funny and orderly, which made everyone laugh.

In order to help San Ya and Xi'er fulfill their little expectations, Su Yu carefully selected a few ripe plums with an attractive luster from Xie Xinghua's backpack and gave them to them.

After all, the fuzz on peaches can easily cause discomfort, so they need to be washed before they are suitable for consumption.

The little girls couldn't wait to take the plums, wiped them gently on their lapels twice, and then put them into their mouths impatiently, with happy and satisfied smiles immediately blooming on their faces.

As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, I saw He Xi busy moving around.

This young man was smart and hardworking. When he saw Su Yu and Xie Xinghua returning with heavy items, he hurried forward to lend a hand.

"Did you go up the mountain? You brought back so much game. It must be a great harvest!"

His tone was full of admiration.

Su Yu nodded gently in response: "Yes, I'm really lucky."

He Xi lifted the rabbit in his hand and was slightly surprised by its weight.

When he found a stone embedded in the wound of one of the rabbits, the surprise in his eyes became even greater.

The rabbit was hit by a stone? This was not just luck, it was clearly Su Yu's extraordinary move.

When He Xi looked at Su Yu, in addition to the original admiration, there was also a sincere admiration.

However, in the eyes of Jiang Ziling who was standing by, this scene added a bit of jealousy.

He stared with dissatisfaction at the way He Xi stared at Su Yu, as if his treasure was being coveted by someone.

Without a moment's hesitation, Jiang Ziling quickly moved to Su Yu's side with the help of his crutch, and gently wiped away the tiny beads of sweat on her forehead with his sleeve.

"You must be exhausted. Look at the sweat. Let me help you wipe it off."

This intimacy made Su Yu a little shy. She quickly blocked his hand and responded in a half-coquettish, half-shy tone: "Oh, so many people are watching, don't do this."

"What does it matter? Is it wrong for me to care about my wife?"

Jiang Ziling's serious look made Su Yu feel that something was wrong.

Normally he is always so reserved and introverted, rarely showing his emotions, so his behavior today seems out of place and puzzling.

He Xi witnessed the sweet interaction between the two and was filled with envy.

However, Jiang Ziling interpreted this emotion as jealousy.

In order to show his possessiveness, Jiang Ziling deliberately took Su Yu's hand in front of He Xi and whispered, "Let's go back and rest for a while. I'll rub your shoulders for you."

He Xi raised the rabbit in his hand behind his back and suggested loudly: "Then let me help deal with this rabbit."

He was secretly delighted, thinking that he would be able to enjoy another delicious meal tonight.

But Jiang Ziling unexpectedly let go of Su Yu's hand, turned around, and took the rabbit from He Xi's hand without any hesitation, saying in a deep and powerful voice: "You are the helper invited by my sister-in-law, so don't bother you with such a small matter."

He added, "Besides, I've been hunting for many years and have handled at least 800 rabbits, if not 1,000. How can it be your turn to interfere?"

He Xi's face froze instantly. Anyone could tell from the sourness in his words that Jiang Ziling had no good feelings towards him.

Xie Xinghua quickly put down the backpack and tried to ease the awkward situation. She asked the children to wash the fruit and enjoy it first.

I stood aside, closest to this subtle conflict, my toes tapping the ground unconsciously. The atmosphere was awkward to the extreme, and the whole yard was so quiet that even the sound of a pin drop could be heard clearly.

Su Yu was very nervous, fearing that He Xi would not be able to tolerate Jiang Ziling's rude words and actions and would explode on the spot.

Xie Xinghua suddenly had an idea and tried to change the subject with the two chickens in her hands to ease the atmosphere: "How about you help me deal with these two chickens?"

He Xi glanced at Jiang Ziling deeply, unwilling to continue this unnecessary stalemate, and prepared to take over.

But Jiang Ziling was quicker and took on the task again: "I've already said that he doesn't have to do it."

Xie Xinghua's heart tightened. She was confused and puzzled by her second brother Jiang Ziling's abnormal behavior today. She didn't understand why he suddenly behaved like this.

"Zi Ling..."

Su Yu also called out softly, her voice full of questions and persuasion, trying to call back her usually gentle and polite husband.
