Everyone else present knew about Aunt Zhang's incident, as it had caused quite a stir back then.

I feel sorry for their family situation. Human nature is really hard to fathom; it's too complicated.

"We've arrived. This is the field you'll be turning over," Su Chen said, pointing ahead to the group.

"This is too big, can we finish it?" Xu Feng exclaimed.

"Little brother, do you want to turn over the whole thing?" Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the large field in front of her and felt like giving up.

Cooking, cleaning the pigsty, foraging for wild vegetables in the mountains, and now even tilling the land! Lin Xiaoxiao really regrets coming to participate.

"I want them both."

The obvious answer shattered Lin Xiaoxiao's illusions. She raised her face, smiled gently, and said, "Wait a minute, could you give me some more guidance, sister? I've never done this before, so it might be a little uncomfortable."

Seeing the pretty woman like that, Su Chen blushed, though his dark skin made it hard to tell.

"Okay, you can call me if you need anything later, sister." With that, she ran off quickly.

Lin Guiyi couldn't bear to look; Lin Xiaoxiao's naive and silly antics were so unsightly.

[Ugh, Lin Xiaoxiao is such a hypocrite, even trying to scheme against a child.]

Those who heard her thoughts naturally saw everything Lin Xiaoxiao did. Everyone knew what Lin Xiaoxiao was thinking; she just wanted to take the opportunity to make more demands when Su Chen gave her further guidance later.

Lin Xiaoxiao maintained her persona, smiling gently, completely unaware of the strange looks in the eyes of those around her.

"These hoes are tools for turning over the soil."

Su Chen picked up a hoe and demonstrated how to use it. As the hoe fell, the soil was turned up inch by inch, and he then used the hoe to break up the clods of soil.

Seeing Su Chen's movements, Lin Guiyi stepped forward and picked up a hoe and started working as well. At first, he was a little unsteady, but gradually his movements became more and more skillful.

"Sister Guiyi, you're learning so fast!" Su Chen exclaimed in surprise.

"No, I've done it before, but I'm still a little unsure how to do it right now."

"That's good too."

Once someone starts, everyone joins in. Using a hoe is actually quite simple, but you need to learn the techniques, otherwise it will be very strenuous.

After the initial discomfort, everyone got busy.

"Su Chen, what are your village's plans after this land has been turned over?"

"Growing vegetables"

"You can still plant vegetables this season, even in this freezing weather."

"Of course you can! You can grow a lot more: cabbage, chives, garlic sprouts, cilantro... all kinds of vegetables!"

Su Chen chatted with the others nearby.

Lin Gui slowly approached Su Chen, flipping through the pages.

“Su Chen, I just overheard your conversation with Lin Xiaoxiao.”

Su Chen scratched the back of his head and said with a smile, "I'll just give you some pointers."

"You can give guidance, but you absolutely mustn't help her till the soil!"

"Why?" Su Chen asked regretfully, "It wouldn't hurt to help, would it?"

"Because the program's rules prohibit anyone from helping out, and the program is being broadcast live, netizens will criticize Lin Xiaoxiao for being lazy if they see it."

"Lin Xiaoxiao is a big star. Every word and action of hers is watched by netizens. If she makes a mistake, she will be judged and scolded."

Su Chen's eyes widened: "It's that serious!"

"Of course," Lin Gui said earnestly, without batting an eye.

Lin Guiyi didn't care what the reaction would be if netizens saw these words during the live stream.

What will happen when Lin Xiaoxiao finds out? That's beyond Lin Guiyi's consideration.

Knowing that Su Chen had taken it to heart, Lin Guiyi stopped paying attention and continued to work hard turning over the ground.

{You guys are amazing! Turning the soil is hard work; I wonder if you can finish before dinner.}

{Only one acre of land, eight adults; it'll be expensive if it's not completely tilled.}

{Lin Guiyi is saying these things openly and blatantly during a live stream. Isn't he afraid of being attacked by Lin Xiaoxiao's fans?}

{Lin Guiyi's words have a hidden meaning; Lin Xiaoxiao didn't do anything.}

{Lin Guiyi does have fans, and besides, he wasn't wrong! He was just stating the facts.}

After what seemed like an eternity, everyone stopped to rest; they were all exhausted.

Lin Guiyi found a good spot on the edge of the field to sit down, massaging his arms with both hands and occasionally shaking them to relieve the pain from fatigue.

Others sat down next to them, forming a row.

"Come on, everyone, have some hot water."

Su Chen took out the water he had prepared beforehand, filled bowls with water for everyone, and handed them over.

"Thanks."

As he handed it to Lin Xiaoxiao, he heard her say, "Little brother Su Chen, I feel like I'm not very good at turning the soil. Could you give me some pointers later?"

"Um"

After a short rest, everyone regained their motivation and got back to work.

"Sister Xiaoxiao, dig it with a hoe and let me see what's wrong."

Lin Xiaoxiao did as instructed.

Su Chen frowned deeply, unable to bear watching any longer, and stepped forward to take the hoe.

"Sister Xiaoxiao, can you take a closer look at how I did it?"

"Wow, you're amazing! You flipped through so many pages in one go. I feel like it would take me ages."

"Haha, I'm used to doing this all the time."

In his excitement, Su Chen moved faster and turned the ground more often.

Lin Xiaoxiao watched quietly without saying a word to stop it.

After a while, Su Chen finally realized what was happening and stopped what he was doing.

"Sister Xiaoxiao, try again."

"it is good"

Su Chen stood aside, but after a while Lin Xiaoxiao came back.

Su Chen explained in detail this time and handed the hoe back to Lin Xiaoxiao.

Su Chen hadn't stopped for long when Lin Xiaoxiao approached him again, looking apologetic.

After going back and forth several times, Su Chen put down the hoe.

"Sister Xiaoxiao, if you can't learn it, just take it slowly later. Anyway, there's not much time left this afternoon." Su Chen finally realized what was going on and politely declined.

"Okay, thank you so much," Lin Xiaoxiao said gratefully.

Lin Guiyi saw all of this. She thought Lin Xiaoxiao would directly hand over the work to Su Chen, but she didn't expect her to be so roundabout. But then again, it makes sense, since they were still live streaming.

That afternoon, everyone was so busy they were dizzy. As soon as they finished turning the soil, they put down their hoes and relaxed on the side.

"I'm so tired, I've never been this tired before."

"Yes, but thinking about those farmers, they do this every day, I really admire them!"

"My arms are so sore, and my back hurts so much."

{Finally finished translating, I'm tired just looking at the screen.}

{Yes, the weather's been cold lately, this work is really grueling.}

{However, considering they only experienced it for a short while, many farmers have to endure it for their entire lives, sigh.}

{My family are farmers; we rely on our crops every year. But now the country is getting better and better, and there are so many convenient things available.}

"Su Chen, what time is it now!" Xu Feng asked loudly.

"Everyone was very quick; it was just past five in the afternoon."

"Everyone, let's rest here a bit more. We're too exhausted to go back," Xu Feng suggested.

Okay, sure.

Anyway, no one needs to cook dinner tonight.

Everyone sat quietly on the grass to rest.

Wearing thick clothes, Lin Guiyi lay down directly on the grass, watching the clouds drift slowly across the sky.

[Hey mistress, stop watching TV and come out!]

[Host, just watching the show]

Of course, it's that Su Chen.

The people sitting around him glanced at Su Chen.

Su Chen, of course, couldn't hear it; he was happily sharing interesting stories with everyone.
