Marry a rough man in exchange for marriage, cannon fodder educated youth go to the countryside to wi

When Xu Yan brought his family, two adults and two children, to the ridge, Xie Zhuo knew that his father-in-law did not listen.

It doesn’t matter if it comes to others, but Xu Yan is here too.

Xie Zhuo frowned.

Xu Yan didn't sleep the whole night yesterday and looked very tired in the morning. He thought she would sleep for a while in the morning, but unexpectedly she still came.

He quickly shoveled the grass under his hand and stuffed it into a sack, then took three or two steps to the edge of the ridge and stopped Xu Cangsong before he was about to try with the shovel in his hand.

"Dad, the ground is full of dirt, don't get your clothes dirty," Xie Zhuo said, "or else just take a walk around."

"It's okay," Xu Cangsong said, "You can wash the clothes if they're dirty. If I finish the work for you sooner, you can rest sooner."

"That's right. How long can you finish the work by yourself? The sun will be too strong soon," Chen Lihua added.

Before Xie Zhuo could say anything else, the old couple had already gone down to the fields.

But it's obvious that the movements are not very skillful.

Just as Xie Zhuo was about to turn around to stop him, Xu Yan grabbed him by the corner of his clothes.

Xie Zhuo looked at her.

Ever since he couldn't help but kiss her a little longer in the morning, she didn't talk to him all morning, and even drinking the sweet porridge he served didn't seem to coax her into submission.

"Don't worry about it, just keep doing what you are doing," Xu Yan said, "finish it early and go home early. I don't want to be in the sun, I want to go back to sleep."

Because of this sentence, Xie Zhuo went straight to the field and continued to work.

Chen Lihua and Xu Cangsong didn't hear what Xu Yan and Xie Zhuo said, but when they saw that their daughter's words made Xie Zhuo obedient, the two looked at each other.

Weeding is really the simplest farm work.

Even a novice will know how to use the shovel quickly and easily after ten or twenty minutes.

Chen Lihua and Xu Cangsong learn very quickly, but they can’t keep up with Xie Zhuo’s speed, but they are not slow either.

Everyone in Qingshan Brigade knew that Xu Yan's parents had arrived, and they were all waiting to see the excitement at Xie Laosan's house.

After all, city people are arrogant and look down on others. How could they look down on a rough man from the countryside who is poor and has lost his parents and brothers?

Looking at the way they smashed Xie’s door yesterday, I guess they have started fighting!

When he came to work this morning, someone stared at Xie Zhuo's face for a long time, trying to find any signs of injury.

Not only did they not find any wounds, but the more they looked at him, the more they felt that Xie Laosan did look better than he did some time ago.

what happened?

Did you change your face after getting married?

Mrs. Qian still had no good words to say. After she touched Xie Zhuo's face, she snorted coldly, "Who can touch his face? Maybe his body is covered with wounds!"

Mrs. Tian also followed suit, "The way his father-in-law looked yesterday, I would have believed him even if he had picked up a knife and chopped him twice."

The news spread around, and when they arrived at the field, someone heard that Xie Zhuo had been slashed on the left arm by his father-in-law.

He usually rolls up his sleeves, but he didn't today because he wanted to cover the wound for fear that someone would see it.

Look closely at his left hand. Are your fingertips always rubbing back and forth?

The pain is unbearable, so I just grit my teeth and endure it!

I don’t know who made up this obviously fake lie, but many people believed it.

When Liu Mancang came over and carefully poked Xie Zhuo's arm, Xie Zhuo looked at him as if he was an idiot.

"Your arm..."

"It's broken," Xie Zhuo said coldly before Liu Mancang could finish his words, "I sawed a piece of wood and pressed it on. Don't touch it. If it breaks, I'll chop your hand off."

Liu Mancang: “…”

The way Third Brother keeps talking nonsense from time to time is really... annoying.

"No, then why are you putting your sleeves down?" Liu Mancang said, "Aren't you hot?"

Xie Zhuo raised his eyebrows and said slowly, "It's not hot."

Liu Mancang shut up.

When Liu Mancang's attention was no longer on Xie Zhuo, Xie Zhuo gently pressed his left arm with his right hand, but felt that there was no need to cover up the tooth mark.

He didn't know that just this one action of his had been passed around, and there were actually idiots who believed that he had lost an arm.

This scene was something that no one in the Qingshan Brigade had expected.

Not only did Chen Lihua and Xu Cangsong not do anything to Xie Zhuo, they even went to the fields to help him weed.

Are they collectively dazzled, or are they suffering from heatstroke and hallucinations so early in the morning?

It’s impossible no matter how you think about it!

"They just want to save face," someone speculated. "After all, some people in the city really want to save face. Even if there's chaos at home, they still pretend to be harmonious outside."

"Haha," Liu Mancang sneered, "Is it the same as your family?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the aunt glared at him and said, "Liu Mancang, did I say anything to you? You are just talking nonsense here."

"I'm talking nonsense?" Liu Mancang continued to sneer, "I thought everyone in the team didn't know it! How interesting!"

"You!" The man was very angry.

But before he could finish his words, Liu Mancang interrupted him, "Why, you are allowed to gossip about others behind their backs, but others are not allowed to gossip about you?"

The aunt stopped talking.

Only then did Liu Mancang continue to work.

Although other people's eyes were always drifting towards Xie Zhuo and there was a lot of discussion, there was no big or vicious words. They basically just kept their heads down and did their own work.

After all, watching the fun is secondary, and work points are the most important matter for the family.

Only Han Xiaoyu, who was standing not far away and looking at the field from afar, had a gloomy face.

But no one cared about his reaction now. Xu Yan and the other three quickly caught up with Xie Zhuo. Dabao and Xiaobao had been on the ground, playing and moving forward with them.

This was the first time that Xie Zhuo was surrounded by so many people.

He is very fast.

His hands seemed to have no feeling. No matter what kind of grass it was, he would just scoop it up in a few strokes and stuff it into the sack.

When Xu Cangsong saw Xie Zhuo remain calm and grab a thorny grass that he couldn't name, he felt a little pain in the palm of his hand.

"Xie Zhuo," Xu Cangsong called out to Xie Zhuo.

"What's wrong, Dad?" Xie Zhuo slowed down and turned his head to look at Xu Cangsong.

"It's okay, just chatting casually," said Xu Cangsong.

Xie Zhuo withdrew his gaze and continued to weed.

"When did your parents... die?" Xu Cangsong asked while working.

"Three years ago," Xie Zhuo said, "when I was 21 years old."

Xu Cangsong nodded, but thinking that Xie Zhuo couldn't see it, he hummed softly.

Xie Zhuo is only 24 years old, which is really not considered old.

But in this age of early marriage and early childbearing, especially in the countryside, it seems that at the age of 24, one should start a family and shoulder the burden of the family.

But no matter what, 21 is still a bit early.

Xu Cangsong sighed.

I don’t know whether it was for Xie Zhuo or for someone else.

Four people did the work of one person. This time, before the sun had time to get as hot as it could, Xie Zhuo had already left the field carrying a bag of straw.

Xu Yan followed behind him, and further behind were Xu Cangsong and Chen Lihua, each of them also carrying a sack.

This time, the people in the field were shocked again.

I didn't come to my senses until Xie Zhuo and the others walked away.

Xie Zhuo put the straw hat that Xu Yan was holding on her head, and looked at her face again. Seeing that she was in good spirits, he said, "Go back later and take a nap. I'll take my parents out for a walk."

His voice was not small, because the sentence was nothing, so he just said it casually.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, Chen Lihua, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped talking, turned around and stared at them.

She said that she saw Xu Yan's eyes were a little swollen in the morning, as if he had been crying for a long time, and when Xie Zhuo was making breakfast, she vaguely saw a tooth mark on his arm.

Could it be that last night, they...
