The young couple from the farm fights back

At night, Jiang Li brought a candlestick to the small table under the corridor outside the house. Zhou Chunfeng was making tea beside the coffee table. Seeing that she was still holding the scar cream she bought last time, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

If he remembered correctly, Jiang Li rarely used this bottle of scar-removing ointment.

Jiang Li scooped some paste with a bamboo stick and said, "Stretch out your hand."

Zhou Chunfeng pursed his lips and smiled, but didn't say anything, with his right hand placed on the table.

When I beat Tiedan today, I scraped the skin off my finger joints. Later, when I was cutting wooden stakes, I was not careful and cut a few areas, which now have blood scabs.

Jiang Li lowered her head and carefully applied a layer of cold scar-healing cream to the blood scabs and scraped skin on the back of his hand. She said in a sullen tone, "Did you encounter any troubles when you came to town today?"

"..."

Obviously, Zhou Chunfeng understood what she meant.

Seeing that he was silent, Jiang Li looked up at him and said, "Otherwise, how could he beat someone so hard? If it weren't for Uncle Zhou Er, Tiedan's family would definitely come to our house to demand an explanation."

Zhou Chunfeng thought it was a big deal and smiled nonchalantly: "If you're not happy with me, what's wrong with beating me up? Are you afraid that I'll get you into trouble?"

Jiang Li wanted to roll her eyes: "What's there to be afraid of? It's just a little troublesome. I just feel that I shouldn't ruin my future for people and things that are not worth it."

Zhou Chunfeng lowered the corners of his mouth and looked fixedly at Jiang Li who was applying medicine on him.

After a pause, he said in a low voice, "I don't regret it."

“——Ah?” Jiang Li raised his head stupidly, not understanding.

Zhou Chunfeng hesitated for a moment and said, "Jiang Li, as you said, since God sent us here, it must be intended for us to meet again. What do you think?"

"..."

"What I said to you last night came from the heart."

"..."

Seriously? Are you kidding?

Jiang Li paused and looked at him in disbelief.

"Jiang Li, I don't want to miss it again, are you willing?"

The question came too suddenly, so she had to take it slow.

Seeing Jiang Li about to stand up again, Zhou Chunfeng quickly grabbed her wrist and said, "Don't run. Whether you want to or not, I won't force you."

Although he didn't want to miss it, he also didn't want to force it.

If Jiang Li doesn't have that kind of feelings for him, then he should just let go.

In the future, we will still treat each other with respect as we do now.

Feeling the burning temperature on his wrist, Jiang Li knew that this time, he could neither get rid of it nor escape.

In her heart, she really didn't have such thoughts about Zhou Chunfeng before, but since she came here, she seemed to be accustomed to spending time with Zhou Chunfeng day and night like this.

She couldn't tell whether she liked Zhou Chunfeng at the moment, but if she didn't, why was her heart beating so fast?

Jiang Li pursed her lips and looked at him: "Let go first, I won't run away."

Zhou Chunfeng raised his eyebrows when he heard that, let go of her wrist, and waited for a response.

"I don't know what to think now." Jiang Li looked at him quietly, "At least, you have to let me think about it."

"No!" Zhou Chunfeng's two light words suddenly made Jiang Li's mood not relax at all, and he became completely depressed.

Who would force someone to buy or sell like this?

Zhou Chunfeng slowly added tea to their teacups, put down the kettle, and glanced at her.

He knew Jiang Li too well. As long as he gave her a chance to catch her breath, she would definitely treat what happened tonight as a joke and not think about it at all.

Zhou Chunfeng was a man who did not like to drag his feet, so even if Jiang Li refused out loud, he was willing to accept it.

Jiang Li glared at him angrily, and her ears felt inexplicably hot at Zhou Chunfeng's calm and composed demeanor.

Biting her lip, she said, "Okay, but it's just a try. If we can't get along, and we continue to get along the same way as before, you can't force me to make a choice."

"Okay!" Zhou Chunfeng was obviously very satisfied.

It's enough to get such a promise from her.

It means that Jiang Li is not indifferent to him. Feelings do need to be cultivated slowly. After all, there is a long way to go.

The next morning, at dawn, Jiang Li picked up Anger and came to the door of the second room. Before she could knock, the door opened from the inside.

Zhou Chunfeng seemed to have just woken up, and his sleepy look was a bit lazy. He smiled and took the still sleeping Angel from Jiang Li's arms.

Jiang Li lowered her voice and almost mouthed to him, "I'm going up the mountain."

"Well, be careful."

Perhaps the relationship between the two of them had changed, as Jiang Li's face showed a look that was hard to tell whether it was embarrassment or shyness.

"Ah."

Jiang Li hurriedly turned around and walked out of the yard, fearing that Zhou Chunfeng would notice that she looked unnatural.

Looking at the slender figure, Zhou Chunfeng smiled faintly.

When Jiang Li opened the gate, she found that in addition to Zhao, there was also Song, the daughter-in-law of the patriarch.

Jiang Li knew that it was Song who came back to the village and spread the story about the eldest wife's iron stick yam. She couldn't say how she felt about Song, but at least she didn't have a good impression of her.

The smile on Zhao's face froze a little: "Sister-in-law~"

Zhao didn't know what to say. When she left home early, she found Song waiting at the gate of her house. Because the two families were relatives, Zhao couldn't refuse and send her away.

"Aunt~"

In terms of seniority, Zhou Chunfeng and the clan leader are of the same generation, so the clan leader's daughter-in-law naturally has to call her aunt.

"Aunt, I heard Aunt Zhao say yesterday that you two went up the mountain this morning. Don't blame Aunt Zhao for bringing your niece along. I've heard that you're very good at identifying mountain products, so your niece shamelessly wanted to follow you up the mountain."

Zhao's breath was choked. When had she told anyone outside about her trip up the mountain this morning?

After seeing this, Jiang Li had nothing to understand.

It's not advisable to hit someone who smiles at you early in the morning. Due to the relationship with the patriarch, I had no choice but to take him with me.

"Well, let's go."

"Uh-huh."

Song was very outgoing and friendly, not at all unfamiliar. She put her arms around Zhao and Jiang Li respectively. If you didn't know, you would think that the three of them had a very close relationship.

Jiang Li pretended to pull away, but within a moment, Song came back.

"..."

This time, Jiang Li took the two of them to the big mountain next to Dianqiao Mountain. The mountain was lush with trees, and the light was blocked by branches and leaves all year round, making it even cooler.

Zhao had gone up the mountain with Jiang Li several times before, so she knew that she just had to follow Jiang Li closely. But Song, who was going up the mountain with her for the first time, was so frightened that her whole body was shaking, and she would scream in fear every time she was scratched by a blade of grass beside her.

Jiang Li tried her best to endure it, turned around and motioned Zhao to follow: "Follow closely."

"Hey, sister-in-law."

Song Shi could see that Jiang Li was taking care of Zhao Shi, so she quickly took two steps to push Zhao Shi behind her and moved herself to Jiang Li's side.

Jiang Li persuaded herself politely that at least since the patriarch had stepped in to help deal with Tiedan's family yesterday, she tried to ignore Song's little thoughts as much as possible.

Although this mountain is perpetually shaded by branches and leaves, and its soil is moist, it doesn't necessarily produce any good medicinal herbs. Common plants like woad, lithospermum, and atractylodes can be found everywhere, but their growth is relatively scattered.

"Auntie, are there really any good things in this mountain? I heard there are wolves in this mountain."

"..."

Wolf?

Jiang Li looked back at Zhao, who nodded weakly, "In the past, I heard that hunters from the neighboring village had seen wolves on this mountain. Apart from the hunters, villagers like us didn't dare to go up this mountain."

Wolves are not like ordinary wild animals. Whenever a wolf appears, it means there is a wolf pack on the mountain. If you encounter a wolf pack, even a hunter may not be able to escape.

Hearing this, Jiang Li was also scared. She was not a fool, so how could she dare to act recklessly without caring about the consequences?

After thinking for a moment, he said, "In that case, let's not climb up. I just saw a lot of Atractylodes and Lithospermum officinale around here. Although these two things are not worth a lot of money, we can pick some and take them home to dry, and we can also make some money."

When Song heard that it could be exchanged for money, she nodded immediately: "Yes, yes, okay."

"Aunt, which are the grasses that can be exchanged for money?" Song lowered her head and looked around.

Jiang Li glanced around and pointed to the steep slope ahead with a wooden stick: "That's the Atractylodes lancea. Pick it first. I'll tell you about the Lithospermum officinale later."

"Okay, auntie." Song was afraid of being a step behind, so she ran over and started digging.

Zhao was a little dumbfounded. To be honest, she could recognize Atractylodes lancea now. There were quite a lot of Atractylodes lancea brought along the way, enough for them to pick.

Jiang Li walked up the mountainside while digging, leaving the easily visible ones for Zhao and Song to dig.

Suddenly, the haystack in front shook slightly.

snake?

Jiang Li's first reaction was a snake, and he subconsciously took two steps back.
