Wow, this rough-around-the-edges pregnant wife is something else, she's incredibly ruthless!

The moment the knife touched the watermelon, a crack appeared, revealing the bright red flesh inside. The rind was as thin as a sheet of paper.

Having eaten so many watermelons before, Meng Tong had never encountered anything like this. She felt as happy as if she had opened a durian blind box and found the Gratitude Durian.

Carefully lifting the watermelon, Meng Tong used only a little force, and the two halves separated, making a truly crisp sound.

Meng Tong put one half into the space to keep it fresh, then cut a piece from the other half with a knife, put it in his mouth and took a bite. It was not only sweet and juicy but also slightly cool.

Meng Tong's eyes lit up; it was the first time she had ever tasted such a unique watermelon.

After eating what was in his hand in a few bites, Meng Tong continued cutting. Just then, Bai Ye, who was lying to the side, became unhappy.

Can't I see Tiger or what?

"Ho ho ho~"

After letting out three small roars, Bai Ye rubbed his head against Meng Tong's left hand, as if to say, "Give me a piece."

Meng Tong glanced at Bai Ye's resentful eyes, a smile appearing in her eyes. Then she cut a slice of watermelon and held it to Bai Ye's nose to entice it.

Bai Ye took two steps forward, just about to stick out her tongue to bite the watermelon, when Meng Tong's hand quickly moved away, and the girl's clear laughter rang in her ears.

"If you promise to listen to me from now on, then I'll let you eat it."

"Wow... this watermelon is so sweet! It's fragrant, sweet, and icy cold. This weather is perfect for eating watermelon. Mmm... it's so delicious."

Meng Tong ate as she spoke, her eyes glancing at Bai Ye, who was struggling with her decision.

Meng Tong has figured this guy out. His calm and aloof demeanor is all an act; in reality, he's just a playful little dog who loves to eat.

With just a little enticement, it will crumble on its own.

She's already started acting cute and charming towards Meng Tong.

Tiger Head rubbed affectionately against Meng Tong's arm, its throat filled with ingratiating whimpers.

Meng Tong couldn't stand it like this, but today he really had to teach it a lesson, otherwise it would dare to do something like the cliff again.

If you nod and agree, I'll give you some to eat. If that's not enough, I can pick a whole one for you.

"Oh, by the way, there are also cantaloupes, grapes, and lots of other delicious fruits over there. If you promise me..."

Bai Ye surrendered, raised his head, and nodded to Meng Tong.

"Hehe, this is great. From now on, I'll be your second master. You have to get my permission before doing anything, understand?"

Bai Ye nodded and got to eat the watermelon as she wished.

Meng Tong even picked two more for it as a reward.

It's cool and refreshing, even under the sun, and has a unique sweet fragrance that Bai Ye absolutely loves.

After walking around the orchard, Meng Tong picked some ripe fruit and then ate watermelon as she walked toward the potato field.

Over here, the potato digging in Luchuan is almost finished; there aren't many potatoes planted in total.

The two sisters, who were squatting in the field looking for baby potatoes, were the first to spot Meng Tong. The two little ones immediately stood up and shouted loudly at her, "Mommy~"

Hey! What are you two doing?!

"We're picking small potatoes! Daddy said he'll fry them for us to eat tonight."

The two sisters looked up at Meng Tong affectionately, and when they saw the watermelon in her hands, Lu Yan's eyes lit up and she asked, "Mother, is this the watermelon you were talking about?"

"Yes, I just picked them from the field. You guys can try them in a bit."

"Yay! My sister and I will come and eat them after we pick up the little potatoes."

Lu Chuan had assigned them a task: they couldn't rest until they finished cleaning up this place.

"Okay, Mother will be waiting for you."

Meng Tong neither offered help nor told them to stop; one should finish what one starts.

Meng Tong found a bunch of potato sprouts, spread them on the ground, and sat down. He ate while watching the three of them work.

Lu Chuan also saw her coming, but the man was a bit far away from her. Anyway, they were almost finished digging, so the man didn't come over.

In less than 15 minutes, Lu Chuan had dug up all the potatoes. As for the Lu sisters, Lu He and Lu Yan, they were also quick. Just as Lu Chuan was walking back, the two sisters ran around in the field like two little squirrels.

Stumbling along, Lu Yan even tripped over a potato that Lu Chuan had dug out and placed on a fish trap.

She rubbed all the fresh potato skins together with one kick.

Embarrassed, she got up and the little one rushed towards Meng Tong with the potato she had stepped on, as if afraid that if she was a step too late, she would miss out on food.

Lu Chuan, who was following behind, shook his head, a helpless smile in his dark eyes.

"Slow down, it's not like there's no food. Why are you running so fast?"

"Hehe, Mommy, I want to eat watermelon."

Her little face was flushed, and sweat dampened the wisps of hair on her forehead, but she was still full of energy, her big eyes darting around, she was incredibly cute.

"Here, eat it! Wrap the skin in a leaf."

"Okay, thank you, Mother."

Lu Yan carefully took the food and sat down next to Meng Tong to enjoy it.

As for Lu He, she stopped running halfway and obediently followed Lu Chuan.

"Mother~"

"Yes, come sit here with Mommy."

Meng Tong patted the potato seedlings on the ground beside her, wiped the sweaty hair from the little girl's face, and handed her a slice of watermelon as well.

Is it cooked yet?

"Yes, they're mostly ripe. I've harvested most of them, and I'll let the rest rest a bit longer."

"Give."

"Thank you, Madam."

Lu Chuan, sitting directly opposite the mother and her two daughters, took the watermelon that Meng Tong handed him. He took a bite and his eyes flashed with amazement.

This stuff is surprisingly cool and sweet; one bite not only quenches your thirst but also cools you down.

Lu Chuan ate a piece in a few bites, and almost ate the skin too, it was really too thin.

Seeing that he still seemed to enjoy it, Meng Tong knew he liked it.

Meng Tong took out a whole watermelon from her spatial storage and cut it for them; she had already eaten her fill in the watermelon patch.

The three of them were like a juicer, one watermelon wasn't enough for them. Meng Tong was afraid they would get diarrhea from eating too much, so after they finished one, she resolutely refused to eat any more.

After letting out a burp, Lu Yan licked her lips and said to Meng Tong with a grin, "Mother, Yan'er wants to eat watermelon every day from now on."

"Me too."

"Me too."

Meng Tong glanced at Lu Chuan's childish appearance, her lips twitched twice, and she finally agreed.

They just wanted to try something new; they'd never had this before. Once they've had it a lot, they won't complain about it anymore.

After eating the watermelon, the family sat down to rest in the field. The sun was about to set, and the originally stuffy air gradually became cooler.

Having been in the deep mountains for several months, Meng Tong found the weather in the valley unbearable even at midday, and dared not imagine what it must be like outside.

What happened to the villagers who fled?

However, it doesn't really concern her. The only thing she hopes for is that people like Aunt Liu, who helped her, can reach their destinations safely!
