Chapter 59 – Measuring the fields
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Li Man and Little Five were obediently waiting at the village’s entrance. During this time, she finally obtained the information that she wanted from Little Five by employing a variety of methods to communicate with him. As it turned out, that girl’s name was Shen Mudan, and she was well-known in this village. She was the treasured, only daughter of a rich family in this village and the most beautiful girl out of all the villages that were in surrounding area as well. She was considered an excellent young woman that had a meek temperament and was skilled in embroidery. Everyone in the village liked her.
Then, Li Yan should also like her. Moreover, from that girl’s expression earlier, it was obvious that there was something between her and Li Yan.
As Li Man thought about this, she felt both a bit relieved as well as slightly annoyed.
She hasn’t expected that Li Yan would be such a playboy. He already had such a close female friend that was virtuous and kind-hearted, and yet, he tried to flirt with his future sister-in-law. His conduct was simply too outrageous.
When Li Yan sauntered over here, Li Man deliberately glared at him in a meaningfully way. She wanted him to feel overcome with shame.
Li Yan was even more thick-skinned than she thought. He acted as if nothing had happened. His usual smile was still hanging on his face. “Have you become impatient from waiting? Let’s go.”
No way. Just like that… Li Man fiercely swept her gaze over him again. She really couldn’t discover any clues from looking at his face.
Li Man decided to say a few words to warn him. Using her lousy grasp of the local dialect, she said, “That girl from before, she’s pretty good-looking.”
Li Yan walked while replying, “En. She’s called Mudan. She lives…”
“Stop.” Li Man immediately made a gesture to cut him off. She gave him a meaningful look and said, “Don’t explain. I understand everything.”
After saying this, she pulled Little Five to walk faster with her until they were walking in the front.
Staring at her back figure, Li Yan shook his head. He could only helplessly chuckle. She had no clue what was going on.
—
After passing through the village’s entrance, they headed east for a bit. There were continuous plots of farmland here. Li Mo was currently in one of those plots and busy with work.
Li Man and Little Five jogged over.
“Oldest brother, fourth brother.” Little Five was the first one to reach Li Mo. Then, he beamed at Li Hua, who was currently writing stuff down.
Li Mo ruffled Little Five’s hair and asked him, “Why are you here?” But, his eyes had instinctively drifted to look at Li Man, who had been following behind Little Five. Her cheeks were flushed from the recent jog, and her eyes were especially bright.
“Second brother brought us over.” Little Five pointed at Li Yan, who was elegantly walking on the footpath between the paddy fields.
“Oh.” As he listened to this answer, Li Mo suddenly noticed the white magnolia flower hairpin that was in Li Man’s hair. It was obvious to him that the hairpin was made by second brother.
Li Man’s face turned even redder as she felt Li Mo’s gaze on her. She reflexively looked over at Li Hua for assistance. However, once her eyes met with Li Hua’s dark eyes that were tinged with melancholy, she abruptly remembered the kiss from yesterday. Her face immediately became unbearably hot and even the tips of her ears turned red.
She was blushing? Was she feeling shy? Li Hua’s heart, which had felt depressed for an entire day and night, was brought back to life by this astonishing discovery. Since she felt shy around him, this signified that she was interested in him too.
It was as if the sunshine had broken through the dark clouds. Li Hua’s attractive face immediately brightened. He warmly introduced the new plots of land to Li Man, “Did you know? These two plots of farmland now belong to our family. What do you think we should grow?”
Buying farmland? Li Man looked down at the uncultivated land that was full of weeds. The corners of her eyes twitched. “This?”
“Fourth brother, did you record the measurement for the fields?” Li Mo walked over to them and lightly glanced at Li Man in the passing. “Don’t judge this field based on its current neglected state. Just wait until we clear out the weeds and properly tend to it, this will become a good piece of land.”
