Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 648 agree

Lv Beiguang smiled, "How about I come over in the afternoon to work, and you rest at home? Dad can only stay for a few days, and it’ll give you a break too."

"Dad, it’s not necessary. I can handle it, don’t worry."

When they got home, they saw Zhao Xiaoli was cooking.

"Sister Xiaoli, let me do it instead."

"It’s fine, Jing Chu, you go wash your face. The food will be ready soon."

Zhao Xiaoqiang also came out of the house, "Uncle Lv, Sister Jing Chu, you’re back? Where’s Brother Guodong?"

"He’s still working. Xiao Qiang, how’s everything here?"

"Uncle Lv, don’t worry, I can adapt. It’s much more comfortable than my hometown. Plus, I’ll join you for work tomorrow."

Lv Beiguang looked at the thin young boy and nodded, "Alright then, you’re grown up now, it’s time to work."

As the elder sister, after losing their parents, she naturally had to take care of her younger brother. Even though Old Yang is around now, Xiao Qiang still needs to be independent.

The father and son went to freshen up, and Lv Jingchu helped Zhao Xiaoli with cooking.

After all, being older, the food she cooked tasted better than Jing Chu’s.

Old Yang also returned shortly after, feeling quite cheerful. He had just gone to see the village chief to settle his brother-in-law’s household registration and even asked for a few days off for his wife.

When Guodong returned, everyone sat down to eat.

"Old Lv, are you adapting well?"

Lv Beiguang smiled, "Of course, I usually work in the workshop too."

"Village Chief Wang is still waiting for you to help with the brewing," Wang Shulin mentioned to Old Yang today.

"That’s no problem, I’ll go over in the afternoon."

Meanwhile, the educated youth yard was buzzing with commotion.

Because Wu Hong was out collecting firewood, she came back late, and by then, Ding Xiaojuan had almost finished cooking.

But as usual, Huang Ying didn’t collect firewood; she just hid in the room waiting for them to finish cooking before she joined.

When Wu Hong returned while the six of them were eating, she was seething inside. After working hard all morning and collecting firewood, she came back to make food, starving. Naturally, her mood wasn’t good.

As she entered, she saw Huang Ying hugging firewood, and couldn’t hold back her temper, "Ah yo, I get it. It’s only targeting me."

Huang Ying was caught red-handed, and with Wu Hong’s words, everyone eating came out to see her with the firewood.

"I’ll collect firewood in the coming days, I promise I’ll pay it back."

Wu Hong gave a sarcastic smile, hugged the firewood, and went into the main room.

Huang Ying immediately followed, wanting to be the second to cook, but Wu Hong had already squatted down to start the fire.

"Wu Hong, I’m second for cooking."

"Sorry, you’re too late. Try earlier tomorrow."

Huang Ying was furious. She was already feeling wronged by Zhao Xiaoli and now couldn’t bear it. She directly threw the firewood at Wu Hong.

Wu Hong was in no mood and couldn’t tolerate this, she immediately turned and grabbed Huang Ying, starting a fight.

The two fought from the main room to the yard.

Huang Ying seemed delicate normally, but Wu Hong found no advantage. They were evenly matched.

Ding Xiaojuan, holding her portion of food, returned to her little room. Though it was stuffy, it was better than watching them like that.

The male members also went inside; it wasn’t something they should get involved in.

Even after they finished eating, the fight hadn’t stopped. Both women were tough, and despite their actions, there was hardly a sound, which made the men secretly sigh.

Finally, Chen Hui intervened, "You two stop this. If you continue, I’ll report to the educated youth office, and you’ll both be reassigned to another village."

Hearing Chen Hui’s words, they stopped.

Both had connections to get assigned to J Village. Although it was tough here, it was much better than other villages.

The two stood up, said nothing, and Wu Hong went back to the main room to cook.

Seeing only herself and Chen Hui in the yard, Huang Ying looked at him with tearful eyes, thinking it would elicit sympathy.

But Chen Hui had disliked Huang Ying from the day they arrived, so he turned and went in to rest.

After eating, Ding Xiaojuan washed her dishes and went back to rest.

She was more tempted than ever by Chen Hui’s suggestion the previous night.

She’d had enough. The leave was approved, and she was determined to call the township tomorrow. Staying an extra minute felt unbearable. The aversion was from the heart.

The clock for work rang, and Guodong and Jing Chu headed out, while Zhao Xiaoqiang wanted to join but was stopped by Old Yang, "You can go tomorrow."

"Brother-in-law, I have nothing to do at home anyway." Zhao Xiaoqiang really wasn’t used to such a life; he’d never had a moment of idle time before, now he did and felt uneasy. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"It’s just half a day. There are books in the house; you can read them. Although there’s no school here, the primary school isn’t far. You should still go to school."

Zhao Xiaoli came out changed, even though Old Yang hadn’t done anything, he held onto her without letting go.

Hearing Old Yang’s words, "It’s better not to go to school. There’s no lecturing now anyway, let him study at home."

Zhao Xiaoli knew her siblings were outsiders and was afraid they’d be bullied, making it hard for the teacher to manage.

"Old Yang, help look for textbooks from third grade to second year of middle school. I’ll teach him every night."

"That would be too tiring for you."

Zhao Xiaoli’s face immediately turned red, "It’s nothing. Just one or two hours a day, anyway there’s no rush. After autumn, he can study every day."

With his wife insisting, Old Yang didn’t say much, "Alright, then let’s find books for Xiao Qiang." He wanted to take his wife out for a walk.

But Zhao Xiaoli really wasn’t feeling well, it was the first time, and Old Yang was too forceful. She really wasn’t comfortable now.

So she shook her head, "I’m not going, I’ll teach Xiao Qiang at home."

Since Zhao Xiaoqiang wasn’t going today, Guodong and Jing Chu carried their hoes and headed to the field.

Lv Beiguang chuckled, "Xiao Qiang, are you angry if I go to the village chief’s house?"

Zhao Xiaoqiang’s eyes lit up; now Lv Beiguang was like family to him, not much different from his parents and sister, "Alright, I’ll learn how to make wine too."

Old Yang and Zhao Xiaoli didn’t object; after all, Xiao Qiang was still young and not taken seriously. A trip with Lv Beiguang would let him meet people, at least become familiar.

Only Old Yang and Zhao Xiaoli were left at home. Old Yang hugged Zhao Xiaoli and led her inside.

"Don’t you want to take a walk with me?"

Zhao Xiaoli, gentle and not resisting, said, "I’m still not feeling well."
