Chapter 309: Chapter 7: The Cannon Fodder Sister-in-Law in the Group Pampering Novel (7)

Who doesn’t know how to hurl insults.

Lv Cuiping said exactly that right in front of Xie Jian.

Xie Jian was silent. Just as he was about to speak, his chest felt slightly heavy, and a soft arm suddenly pressed against him. It turned out Jiang Lai had sat up and leaned half her body over.

"You haven’t touched me for such a long time. I understand your thoughts, so let me make it clear today. Either we split from the family, or I’m leaving."

Xie Jian tensed up all over, his body heating up.

"Where can you go?"

Jiang Lai looked at him with eyes dark and bright under the hazy moonlight.

"I won’t go back to my parents’ house. I will run to the town, to the county, but I’m not coming back. I have hands and feet; I won’t starve."

Jiang Lai seemed to have already decided, her tone full of determination.

Xie Jian grabbed her arm, his hot and rough palm feeling a bit scorching.

"You’re my wife. I don’t agree, so you can’t go anywhere."

"Then we’ll split from the family. Just the two of us working alone. Whether we starve or freeze, I’m willing. You won’t have to worry about me competing with your sister for food, and I won’t have to be scolded and beaten by your mother every day."

The woman pouted, and her eyes seemed moist too, like a clear river with a soft undercurrent flowing within.

She was so close that Xie Jian couldn’t concentrate on what she was really saying.

This woman before him was his lawful wife.

The man, with steady eyes, grabbed Jiang Lai’s arm and pinched her waist with the other hand.

Softer and thinner than he had imagined, it felt like he could grab it with one hand.

He really couldn’t imagine how such a thin waist and flat belly could ever carry his child.

He held Jiang Lai, trying to control his strength.

"You really want to split from the family that much?"

He leaned in, and Jiang Lai felt enveloped by a furnace, her strength not even comparable in front of him.

"Yes."

"Tomorrow, I’ll talk to mother."

Instantly, the woman’s eyes were filled with delight, and with a curved smile, she actively hugged his neck. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"You’re so good to me!"

Xie Jian couldn’t be bothered to say a word now, his mind fixated on just one thought.

——

Jiang Lai underestimated Xie Jian’s stamina.

Though she favored robust and handsome men like him, it was based on the premise that she herself had a sturdy physique.

The fact proved, despite having developed her body’s flexibility to its maximum, she almost perished last night.

"Aren’t you into men like Xie Jian? Arranged one for you, am I loyal or what?"

"No, this doesn’t work."

Xie Jian’s prowess was beyond appearances. Valuing her life, if this continued, she thought she’d never get off the bed from dawn till dusk.

"You say it doesn’t work after you’ve enjoyed? Come on, be a person."

Jiang Lai couldn’t be bothered to deal with him because she was too sore to even lift a finger.

At this moment, Little Buding suddenly whispered in her ear.

"I noticed that when you saw Xie Jian last night, there was something off in your eyes."

Jiang Lai shut her eyes pretending to be dead, not wanting to bother with him.

Little Buding remained skeptical.

Having been with Jiang Lai for so long, he knew her all too well.

Though she was lustful, her gaze last night wasn’t simple; there was something strange in her eyes.

Little Buding’s words stirred some feelings within Jiang Lai.

This cunning fox was quite perceptive.

Seeing Xie Jian for the first time, she felt a sense of familiarity, akin to encountering certain men in previous worlds.

No idea why, but it felt familiar.

The exact same eyes, no matter how their shape changed, she could sense the same thing inside.

Because of that familiarity, she found him pleasing to the eye. Besides, as Xie Jian had been offered on a platter, Jiang Lai, who never shortchanged herself, wouldn’t feel wronged. After all, doing tasks was exhausting, and she felt entitled to enjoy this bit of charm.

But she overestimated herself and underestimated Xie Jian.

Having always done farm work, a man naturally became extraordinarily tall and strong, and being an inexperienced innocent man, he had nothing but brute force, leaving Jiang Lai quite unsatisfied.

Better to do fieldwork than this.

Overthinking, Jiang Lai groggily fell asleep, and when she opened her eyes again, it was already broad daylight outside.

Feeling a bit hungry, but still unwilling to get up, after hesitating, Jiang Lai lay back down. In this era with no phones or TV, the ways to pass time at home aside from making babies were chatting about family matters.

Neither interested her, so she sat up and picked up the book she hadn’t finished last night to continue reading.

Meanwhile, Xie Jian, working amidst the wheat fields, looked up at the sun.

His little sister was calling everyone for lunch from the field ridge, and many young lads in the village immediately lifted their heads to look.

Xie Jian strode forward, a hint of heat in his dark eyes, his copper-toned skin drenched with sweat, with his shirt long soaked through and sticking to his body.

Xie Yumian looked at her third brother’s face and couldn’t help but sigh.

Third brother was the best-looking in the family, tall, strong, and powerful, with striking and appealing features. How did such an excellent brother end up with someone as lazy and evasive as Jiang Lai?

"Third brother, you look hot. Hurry and drink some mung bean soup. I made it this morning and cooled it in the well water. It’s really refreshing."

"Did mom and dad have their food and drink?"

"Yes, they’ve eaten."

Xie Jian was responsible for the sloped wheat fields, which were particularly hard to harvest due to their unevenness, and nobody wanted to work there. Because of his strength and endurance, tasks considered difficult in the village were usually assigned to him. Sometimes, when Lv Cuiping’s maternal family couldn’t finish their work, they’d also ask him for help.

Xie Yumian felt sorry for her third brother, who had to work so hard and endure her sister-in-law’s unreasonable behavior, so she saved something good for him.

"I saved you some chicken. Hurry up and eat."

A while back, Xie Yumian had just brought back a colorful chicken from the mountains. Lv Cuiping had killed and salted it without telling anyone.

Today, Xie Yumian cooked the chicken, ate a bowl herself, and hid the rest under their parents’ and brothers’ lunchboxes.

At times like these, when households struggled just to eat well, not to mention meat, if others saw, they might get envious and cause trouble.

"Alright, just leave it here."

"Eat before working more. It’s so hot, you might get sunburned."

"It’s okay. I’m a fast worker. If I go back at noon and come back, I can still make it."

Then Xie Yumian realized that Xie Jian was working exceptionally fast today. Others had only harvested half, but Xie Jian had already finished more than half of the sloped area he was responsible for.

"Why go back at noon?"

"Your sister-in-law isn’t feeling well and is at home. I’m going back to check on her."

Upon hearing this, the smile on Xie Yumian’s face disappeared instantly.
