Translator: Lonelytree

After breakfast, the group returned to the field to plant peanuts and soybeans. The three kids continued with peanut planting. Practice makes perfect. They tried to finish planting the remaining one Mu of land within an hour.

However, before they could finish, Mother Xiao led four men over. Ning Weiyi looked up and saw Gu Ziye and his gang had arrived.

“Yu ‘Er, they said they’re your friends, and they’re here to help with the planting of peanuts and soybeans.” Mother Xiao looked at the four men with suspicion.

Why?

The main reason was these four men were around Xiao Lingyu’s age, and they were handsome. Two were dressed in suits, and the other two were in casual clothes. Mother Xiao could tell that they were in better outfits than the villagers. Furthermore, they drove here. Mother Xiao saw their cars when they arrived at the Xiao Family home. Clearly, they were rich.

Yu ‘Er had been working at City Z, and she hadn’t been back for long. How did she manage to make so many new friends in such a short amount of time? Mother Xiao was worried that these men were here for Yu ‘Er, and they had ulterior motives.

On the way, Mother Xiao and the men ran into other villagers. The villagers’ strange gazes made Mother Xiao very uncomfortable. Life in the countryside was conservative. Even if Xiao Lingyu had left the village before, she was still a country girl in these people’s eyes.

Suddenly, so many men came to find Xiao Lingyu. Some villagers naturally thought that Xiao Lingyu was being indecent and she was dating all of these men. They were here to settle the score with her. The villagers criticized and even despised her. Therefore, Mother Xiao didn’t feel too good about it.

Initially, Mother Xiao thought about chasing the men away, but she thought better of it. She wouldn’t stand in her daughter’s way of making friends.

Xiao Lingyu grew up in the countryside, so she knew that the villagers had been talking when she saw her mother’s face. To dispel her mother’s concern, Xiao Lingyu said, “Mom, they are my friends. This is Gu Ziye, and his hotel has been purchasing our crops. This is Yuan Xuanhao, and he is the friend that gave me the big discount on the car. And finally, they are Zheng Haiyang and Qian Yifan!”

At that moment, Ning Weiyi and the boys came over. Ning Weiyi greeted, “Brother, Brother Zheng, Brother Gu, Brother Qian, what took you guys so long? We’re almost done planting peanuts.”

The other two greeted them as well.

When Mother Xiao saw how familiar Ning Weiyi was with the men, she felt slightly relieved. She smiled, “Weiyi, you know each other?”

Ning Weiyi nodded. “Yes. Auntie, this is my cousin. The three big brothers are friends of our family!” Ning Weiyi made a quick introduction. Then, he paused before adding, “Actually, Auntie, we only found out yesterday that Sis has surrounded herself with people that knew each other!” Ning Weiyi was reminded of something, “Auntie, do you know the house Sis has rented at the county town?”

“You mean Granny Song?” Mother Xiao said. Then, she looked at the group of men and asked, “Is Granny Song related to any of you?”

“Yes!” Ning Weiyi exclaimed, “Auntie, Grandma Song is Brother Zheng’s grandmother and our neighbor!”

“Huh?” Mother Xiao was surprised. She laughed, “Haha, what a coincidence!”

“It really is!” The others nodded.

After Mother Xiao clarified the relationship of the new arrivals, she told Xiao Lingyu and Xiao Lingye, “Look after our guests. I’ll head back home first!” Someone had to stay at home to cook. Mother Xiao was the best cook. Even Xiao Lingyu only had half of her mother’s cooking skills. Mother Xiao rushed home because she had to prepare extra since they had more guests!
