Su Xiaowan didn't notice how Zheng Haimei's expression had changed. She thought Zheng Haimei was just making a joke, so she laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, you sure know how to tease me. Everyone in the compound knows you and your husband are the model couple. Well, I won't bother you further. I'm going to check out the vegetables at Auntie Wang's plot and get some soft soil on my way." After saying that, she headed towards Wang's vegetable plot.
Zheng Haimei responded, "Go ahead, hurry up." After that, she began her first experience of tilling the earth. At first, it was okay, but the more she did it, the worse her mood became, and she felt increasingly frustrated.
Zheng Haimei's family wasn't exactly well off, but she had been pampered growing up and never had to do any hard labor. The most exhausting task she had ever done was learning to cook with her mother, a mandatory skill for any girl.
