Yu Dong didn't think that there was anything wrong with them sleeping a little late . This world was so peaceful that it was a shame for people living here not to enjoy it . When she lived in the apocalypse, she had to sleep with an eye open because she didn't know when or where the zombies would attack and wreck havoc . As an officer on duty , it was her responsibility to be prepared to be called on duty any time and at any place , thus , she had never had the leisure to over sleep .
In her words as long as the world was peaceful , human should enjoy whatever was given to them . Such small things can after all bring really great happiness .
" Its alright " said Yu Dong waving her hand casually " its fine to oversleep the weather is cold you both should take better care of yourselves and stay inside the house ."
Though Yu Dong didn't blame them , Shen Li and Ye Liu felt even more embarrassed. Stay inside the house ? How can they do that ! How can they let their wife do work in the fields while they stay at home and rest ? If someone were to see this then they would be able to raise their heads in the village !
" Wife , its no trouble at all " said Shen Li somewhat uneasily , he knew that the person who replaced his wife's soul was a lot more broad minded but it wasn't good if she spoiled them like this " If we don't help then - then villagers might talk . Let us help you , after all how hard it will be for you to plow the five mu lands and sow seeds all alone "
Yu Mai who patting the soil gently after sowing seeds felt attacked . He has been working from morning until the sun rose all the way up on his head and yet his elder brother in law said that his sister was working ' alone ' ? How was this alone ? This was looking down on him !
Yu Mai immediately felt unhappy and pouted angrily " Elder brother in law , you are biased towards elder sister ! I worked together with Elder sister , didn't I ? Then how come you say that she plowed the land alone I helped her !"
Shen Li who was still talking was interrupted in between , he helplessly looked at Yu Mai and the small piece of land that he plowed . The piece of land plowed by Yu Mai was as big as Little bun while the remaining area of land was already plowed and sowed by Yu Dong . If this was what it was called to be helping around then no one would call Yu Mai lazy .
" Mai , elder brother meant to say you are too young and we can't let you do all the work alone with elder sister " no matter what Shen Li thought he would never discourage Yu Mai thus he hurriedly coaxed the little boy .
" humph " though Yu Mai looked slightly mollified he still harrumphed to show that he wasn't willing to forgive his elder brother just like that . In the end Shen Li had to take out three pork buns before Yu Mai was coaxed properly .
" why do you care about what villagers will say ? " said Yu Dong hoisting the hoe on her back and wiping her hands on the cloth that Ye Liu handed her " you two are my person , if I want to dote on you , who are they to say anything ? You three have taken on the responsibility of taking care of the household for six months after we were kicked out so what's wrong if you guys take a break ? And its my responsibility as your wife to give you three a better life. You three are my responsibility and there is no other way round it . "
Hearing Yu Dong call them ' her person ' both Shen Li and Ye Liu blushed furiously . Though Shen Li knew that she was only talking about taking responsibility of them , he still felt his heart skip a beat . He wouldn't mind becoming her person , even though his body wouldn't react to the previous Yu Dong but it didn't mean that his body wouldn't react to the current Yu Dong . And his thumping heart was an example of it .
Ye Liu too felt his heart itch when he heard Yu Dong say that she wanted to take care and dote on them . He never thought that there will a day where Yu Dong will start acting like a proper wife but now that his wife finally woke up and took on her responsibilities he was feeling really shy and embarrassed . It was really good that his wife finally learned how to be self sufficient !
The atmosphere around Yu Dong 's field was overflowing with sweetness on the other hand at the Yu family house . Yu Dong 's Uncle in law , Qiu Bai was feeling awful .
Staring at the grown wheat in front of him , Qiu Bai felt like a headache was coming . He had completely forgotten about this matter , he remembered to bully those three good for nothing mers to sow seeds before kicking them out of the house but the thought that what need to be sown need to be harvested had totally skipped his mind at that time . Now here he stood in front of overgrown wheat fluttering in their family's fields - the wheat was completely ripe to harvest but their was no one to harvest it !
Has someone ever faced such a problem before ? No ! Everyone in the village literally prayed for their harvest to ripen early and here he was taking his ripen wheat as a hassle .
Qiu Bai chewed the inside of his mouth and pursed his lips unhappily - ever since he married in the Yu family . He had never worked in the fields , at first it was his elder brother's mer who worked in the fields and later on the task fell on his niece in law's mers . The three mers were ugly but they were hardworking and with their rough and hard body it wasn't a bother for them to work in the fields but for him -
Qiu Bai looked at his dough soft hands and immediately felt unhappy . His hands were so soft as if they had no bones why will he work in the fields and let those ugly callouses appear in his hands ? Ruining such pretty hands will be such a sin ! .
Just as he was thinking about what to do, he saw his daughter coming towards him . From the looks of it she must be bringing lunch for him . Qiu Bai immediately felt happy and rushed forward to meet with his daughter .
Yu Tong too saw her father and then peered at the wheat in their fields . With just once glance she could tell that her father hadn't even touched the wheat in the fields - and the fact he was rushing towards him with such a wide smile - oh no , the lazy Yu Tong immediately felt her scalp tighten as a sense of foreboding rose in her body .
