Back to that night, she flirted with the cold-faced rough man

Chapter 135

The wasteland in the north of the Rising Sun Farm is close to the sea, and the land here is severely salinized and the ground has become hardened into lumps, making it very difficult to reclaim it into farmland.

When Shen Ao arrived here, he saw Old Chen hunched over, using a hoe to dig the soil bit by bit with great difficulty.

"Mr. Chen, didn't Director Lu forbid you from doing this kind of heavy physical work? Why are you here to open up wasteland?" Shen Ao walked forward, snatched the hoe from Mr. Chen's hand, and took over the hoeing.

Normally, the cadres on the farm, seeing that Mr. Chen was old and not in good health, would take care of him a little and let him be responsible for watering the vegetables and weeding in the vegetable garden. The work was not very tiring.

Why is Mr. Chen doing this today?

Shen Ao vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

"Ahem," Old Chen pounded his numb and aching waist, shook his head and smiled, "It's okay. My old bones can handle this little bit of work. Why should I keep bothering you young people? Captain Sui also said that he would give me extra work points after today's work."

He said this to reassure Shen Ao, but the truth was that he didn't know how he had offended the militia captain Sui Bo, so Sui Bo called him here to reclaim the wasteland alone.

Shen Ao frowned and said, "Mr. Chen, your work today was not assigned by Director Lu, but by Sui Bo?"

Elder Chen nodded, looking at Shen Ao's increasingly ugly expression, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Shen Ao pursed his lips and said, "Yes, I heard from Wang Chu that you, Mr. Chen, were assigned to reclaim wasteland here. If you don't reclaim two mu of land before dark, you won't be able to have dinner."

Although he and Wang Chu work very close to each other, their actual relationship is just average.

Because he was afraid of being criticized in the past, Wang Chu was too cautious and subservient to Sui Bo, which made Sui Bo more and more arrogant.

Shen Ao couldn't stand Wang Chu's spineless look, so he didn't talk to him much. After a while, Wang Chu felt it was boring to talk to him and stopped talking.

Shen Ao was quite surprised that Wang Chu took the initiative to come and talk to him today.

He originally planned to ignore Wang Chu and continue working, but Wang Chu was not discouraged. He talked about how Mr. Chen was being bullied and might starve to death at night.

Shen Ao then dropped the work in his hands and ran to the wasteland to help Chen Lao with his work...

Now it seems that what happened today was obviously planned by someone.

But what is the other party’s purpose?

Shen Ao looked up in confusion, and just in time caught a glimpse of the sun gradually sinking to the horizon. His brain seemed to be hit by a hammer, and he suddenly woke up.

Oh no, Bai Ying is in danger!

According to the calculation, Bai Ying would be rushing back to the farm after get off work by now. Sui Bo's arrangements today were obviously for Bai Ying!

Unexpectedly, Sui Bo couldn't help but take action as soon as Bai Yingcai arrived at the farm.

Shen Ao was extremely anxious. He threw down a word and ran away, "Mr. Chen, please stop working and go back first. I will go to the director to explain tomorrow."

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed out of the wasteland, running so fast that he almost left an afterimage.

A hint of panic flashed in Shen Ao's eyes, and his heart was filled with even more worry.

He really shouldn't have dragged the girl, who had a smooth life, into the complicated situation he was in when he couldn't control his own life.

His little girl, as bright and dazzling as the sun, should have had a better life instead of struggling in the mire like him.

"Bai Ying, please don't get into trouble, otherwise..."

Shen Ao's tone was solemn, and there was a flash of murderous intent in his eyes, "I don't know what I will do!"
