Chapter 20: Chapter 20

Wei Luan did not want to talk to Lan Hui, but Lan Hui kept pestering him. Many people around them were looking at the two of them. Wei Luan was very annoyed. In order to shut Lan Hui up, he could only agree to help Lan Hui cut the wheat for a while. Anyway, Lan Hui’s third brother would be back soon.

However, Wei Luan did not expect Lan Hui to specially come to his house to thank him in the afternoon!

Heavens, he had only helped her cut the wheat for ten minutes. Did she have to come all the way here?

The door was closed, and Lin Yi returned to the room.

Bam!

Lin Yi slammed the plate of almond pastries onto the table. Since she used too much strength, two pieces of almond pastries fell onto the table.

Wei Luan was shocked and sat up straight.

Looking at Lin Yi’s dark face, Wei Luan knew that Lin Yi must be angry.

“You’re really helpful, aren’t you? You’ll do whatever Lan Hui asks you to do. You won’t reject her if she wants to hold your hand one day either, right?”

“I didn’t, I…” Wei Luan wanted to explain, but he was not good with words to begin with. Lin Yi’s aggressive attitude made his mind go blank.

“No? Then why did she come looking for you? Look at her smug face just now. This is equivalent to mentally having an affair. Do you understand?”

Wei Luan’s eyes widened.

Was it that serious?

However, looking at Lin Yi’s stern expression, Wei Luan felt a little sweetness in his heart.

Since Lin Yi cared so much about Lan Hui, it meant that she cared about him, right? Even if she did not like him, she cared about him.

“This is the second time. The next time she comes, you can just leave with her, okay?” Lin Yi looked at the plate of almond pastry and sneered, “This almond pastry must be much better than my buns. Why don’t you try it?”

Wei Luan did not dare to eat the almond pastry. He immediately picked them up and said, “I’m not eating it. I’m going to throw it away.”

Wei Luan’s attitude made Lin Yi’s anger dissipate a little. She stopped Wei Luan and placed the almond pastry on the table. “Forget it, the almond pastry is innocent. Liuliu can have it.”

Liuliu was the little boy who came for lunch.

Lin Yi naturally would not eat Lan Hui’s food, and she would not let Wei Luan eat either, so she gave it to Liuliu.

However, Lin Yi was even more confused when she saw the plate of almond pastries.

Lan Hui had been too enthusiastic about Wei Luan recently. It was really strange.

After lunch, Wei Luan was about to go to the wheat field to harvest wheat. Lin Yi followed him, but Wei Luan stopped her. “Do you know how to harvest wheat? It’s very tiring to harvest wheat. Just stay at home.”

“I’ll watch. It’s too boring to stay at home. Besides, if I don’t go over and keep an eye on you, who knows which woman you’re going to help again? Don’t you think so?”

Wei Luan was afraid of Lin Yi’s words. He did not know how to refute her words, so he sighed helplessly.

When the two of them reached the field, Lin Yi watched them from not far away.

Wei Luan got into the field, picked up the sickle, and began to cut the wheat. His movements were very skillful and agile. While others were cutting their first bundle of wheat, he had already finished two bundles.

“Wei Luan, why is your wife here?” Wei Luan’s good friend Ergou nudged Wei Luan’s arm. “Your wife is so beautiful. Her legs are straight and her waist is so thin…”

Wei Luan slapped Ergou’s head and turned it around. “Do your job. Don’t be lazy.”

Ergou was a well-known hooligan in the village. He was very quick-witted. He realized that Wei Luan did not want him to see his wife. He immediately grinned. “You might not want me to look at her, but can you stop everyone in the village from looking at her? Wei Luan, to be honest, your wife is so beautiful. Can you control her? What if she runs off with someone else?”

Ergou’s words made Wei Luan feel uncomfortable. He glanced at Ergou coldly. Ergou did not dare to speak and ran back to harvest the wheat silently.

After cutting the wheat for a while, Wei Luan kept his tools. Seeing Wei Luan was leaving, Ergou said in surprise, “Why are you leaving? You haven’t finished cutting!”

Wei Luan pointed at the sky. “It’s going to rain later.”

“Oh, are you sending Lin Yi back? I didn’t expect you to be so good at taking care of your wife.” Ergou smiled flirtatiously, “Then you should go back and accompany your wife. After I’m done with my portion, I’ll cut yours too.”

Anyway, Wei Luan used to help Ergou with farm work and Ergou was not heartless.

Wei Luan remembered that he had yet to check on the traps for hunting rabbits and wild boars at the back of the mountain. He hesitated for a moment before nodding. “I’ll have to trouble you then.”
