Seeing Yan Shu staring at the hairpin in a daze, he refused to pick it up.

Jiang Ci asked tentatively: "Sister-in-law, you don't like it?"

"No, I like it very much. It's just that this hairpin is usually given to the girl you like. It's really unreasonable for my uncle to give it to me."

Jiang Ci pretended to be apologetic and said, "I was the one who was abrupt. I saw that my sister-in-law liked her and I didn't think much about it. If my sister-in-law thinks it's inappropriate, then I'll throw it away."

"No, no, no, no, this hairpin is very expensive!"

Yan Shu snatched the hairpin away. Why should it have anything to do with her?

She only knows that waste is shameful!

A flash of endearment flashed in Jiang Ci's eyes.

It didn't matter what method she used, what mattered was that she accepted it.

He is indeed a greedy little fox.

"Sister-in-law is taking good care of herself here. I will come back as soon as possible."

"Uncle, you should also take care of yourself outside and be sure to pay attention to safety."

After Yan Shu explained, he watched Jiang Ci drive the donkey cart and gradually disappear from sight.

He sighed inexplicably.

I hope the boss returns safely from this trip.

----

After sending Jiang Ci away, Yan Shu went straight to the river.

The weather was extremely hot, and even the weeds on the roadside were wilting.

Yan Shu put his sleeves on his head to block the dazzling sunlight, and stood on a small slope looking towards the river.

The originally long and clear river now only has a few large and small puddles left. At this moment, many villagers are standing by the river, queuing up to fetch water. The village chief and the seventh uncle stand aside to maintain order.

Yan Shu saw Yan Huai standing in the team and walked over quickly.

"Third brother."

Yan Huai heard Yan Shu's voice and turned around quickly.

"Little sister, you are back."

Yan Shu nodded and took off the bamboo tube from his waist.

"Drink of water."

"I'm not thirsty. You can keep it and drink it."

Water is too precious now. The water brought by the little girl must be clean. She is a girl, so let her drink it.

Yan Shu saw that he was sweating profusely from the sun, and the shorts on his body were soaked with sweat. He estimated that he had been waiting in line here for at least half an hour.

"Drink, I still have more."

Yan Shu forced the bamboo tube to him. Yan Huai licked his dry lips, took off the lid and took two sips.

The cool and sweet water slowly slides into the throat, and an inexplicable refreshing feeling relieves the heat on the body.

Yan Huai knew in his heart that this was the kind of water that his little sister often gave them to drink. It was definitely not ordinary. He couldn't bear to drink more of such precious water.

After moistening his throat, he put the lid on and gave it back to Yan Shu.

Yan Shu looked at the villagers in front who were fetching water.

Each household is only allowed to fetch one bucket of water per day, and more than 100 households have to wait in line for an hour or two.

The worst thing is that the water quality of these small puddles in the river is not only turbid, but they will not last long.

About a quarter of an hour later, it was finally Yan Huai's turn to fetch water.

Yan Huai walked to the puddle, put the bucket in the water, shook it a few times, and filled it with a bucket of turbid water.

He carried the bucket and walked to Yan Shu: "Little sister, let's go home."

"it is good."

The brother and sister were about to rush home when several people came towards them.

The leader, Yan Yao, looked at Yan Shu and Yan Huai.

"Sister Shu'er is back."

Yan Shu responded coldly and looked at the two women beside Yan Yao.

The woman in the green dress standing next to Yan Yao is pretty good-looking and well-dressed. It is obvious at a glance that she is not a girl raised in the countryside.

Standing behind the woman was a slightly shorter and cute-looking woman. Seeing that she was following closely behind the woman, she must be her maid.

When Yan Shu looked at each other, Su Xiaotian was also looking at Yan Shu.

I thought Yan Yao's appearance was already outstanding enough, but I didn't expect there was someone more beautiful than her.

Although Xinghua Village is poor, it is a place that nourishes beauties.

Yan Yao introduced with a smile: "Sister-in-law, this is Sister Shu'er from my second uncle's family. Sister Shu'er, this is our eldest sister-in-law."

Yan Shu raised his eyebrows. Is she the Su Xiaotian who plans to attack Jiang Ci?

She looks like a weak young lady, but I didn't expect her to be so forward-thinking at heart.

Su Xiaotian was too lazy to pay attention to these poor relatives and waved the fan in her hand with a cold expression. She had not been in a good mood since she married into this poor village.

"Hong'er, it's extremely hot here. I'll wait under the shade of a tree. You go get some water quickly."

"Yes, ma'am."

Hong'er felt aggrieved and had to obey Su Xiaotian's orders.

One hand was holding the barrel, and the other hand unconsciously touched his lower abdomen.

She is already pregnant with Yan Lang's child, how can she always do such physical work?

Although she is unwilling to do so, she is still the young lady's maid, and she will obey whatever the young lady arranges.

After giving orders to Hong'er, Su Xiaotian walked straight towards the shade of a tree not far away.

Yan Yao stared at Su Xiaotian's back, her eyes turned cold.

Sure enough, she was the eldest daughter who had been pampered since she was a child. She was disliked by everyone just three days after she was married into the family. She had a bad face all day long. If her father hadn't been able to help her eldest brother, he would never have married such a woman into the family.

"Sister Shu'er, I'm going to accompany my sister-in-law first. We'll talk another day."

Without waiting for Yan Shu to speak, Yan Yao hurriedly walked in the direction of Su Xiaotian.

Yan Shu glanced at the two of them, then turned to look at Yan Huai.

"Third brother, let's go."

Yan Huai nodded, and the two of them rushed home together.

On the way, Yan Huai talked about what happened in the village recently.

"Yan Peng got married three days ago. Dafang didn't invite us over. My parents think this is good, and our family doesn't want to have anything to do with Dafang's family."

Yan Huai curled his lips in disdain and continued: "Ever since the bride came in, Ms. Wang has been so proud that she wishes her tail could be raised to the sky. She brags to everyone that her granddaughter-in-law comes from a scholarly family and is a serious young lady with eight hundred gold. Hehe, I didn’t see anything special about this rich young lady just now.”

Yan Shu smiled: "Let the old lady be proud for a few days. She may not be in such a good mood in the future."

Su Xiaotian only had Jiang Ci in her heart, and marrying Yan Peng was just a helpless move.

She and Yan Peng had no relationship, and it didn't take long for various problems to arise. In addition, Wang Dahua was a cunning and evil woman, and Wang Cui'e, the mother-in-law, was not a kind person. If there were more women, how could there be less disputes?

She could foresee that in the near future, the big family would have a "good" day with constant quarrels and chaos.
