Wang Juan resented her mother for not giving her grain, and her words were like a direct stab to her lungs.

Having angered her mother, Wang Juan dragged her legs out of the Wang family, feeling lost. After going back, Chen Jiaming would surely blame her for not getting any grain from her natal family.

She had clearly married into the city, and people in the village always said she had a good life. She used to think the same way, but now she was uncertain. Was her life really good? After making so much effort to marry into the city, she should have achieved her desires, but why did she feel so exhausted?

After going back, Wang Juan didn't return to Xiaoqian Village for more than three months.

Time flew by, and it was already the golden autumn in September. At this time, Xiaoqian Village was bustling with activity, everyone was busy with the autumn harvest.

Unlike a few months ago when there was a gloomy atmosphere, now everyone's faces were filled with joy.

Because they had a good harvest, an unprecedented bumper harvest!

Everyone worked with extra energy, and this year, they no longer needed to worry about going hungry!

Wang Desheng laughed heartily, his teeth fully exposed. They initially thought there would be famine due to the drought this year, but unexpectedly, Xiaoxiao and Wang Wei discovered the Jiji Grass, leading to an unprecedented bumper harvest. This was truly a blessing from heaven!

Wang Wei was also in the fields harvesting grain. He was husking corn, with expansive and vigorous movements.

Although it was already late August, the sun was still strong at noon. Sweat trickled down his face along the sculpted lines, not causing any weariness but rather giving him an inexplicable wild charm.

Some nearby young wives and girls were mesmerized watching him.

In these past few months, Wang Wei seemed to have become even more attractive. The contours of his face were well-defined, with a high and straight nose, thin and pale lips. Especially his eyes, when the sun shone on them, the eyeballs had a shimmering emerald-like luster, making his already perfect face appear even more noble and charming.

Wang Wei wiped the sweat from his face with a handkerchief in a casual move. This seemingly simple action captivated the attention of many young girls.

Although Wang Wei attracted many gazes, at this moment, he was secretly relieved that he didn't let Xiaoxiao participate in the autumn harvest in the fields. Otherwise, he would have faced a great ordeal. Thinking of Xiao Xiao, a smile appeared in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth slightly lifted.

If Wang Wei, without any expression, might appear a bit stern due to his distinct facial features, then with this slight smile, all the sternness instantly melted away, leaving behind a poppy-like charm.

Other young girls blushed at the sight, while some married women felt at ease, joking and teasing those around them, "Wang Wei looks so handsome. You can't find such a good-looking young man for miles around. If my husband were half as good-looking as him, he would lie on the heated brick bed every day, and I'd willingly take care of him."

Hearing this, the surrounding women burst into laughter.

"Wang Wei is good-looking, and his wife is not bad either. I didn't notice it before. Since Xiao Ermei married Wang Wei, her face has become so fair, and those eyes seem to speak. No wonder Wang Wei is reluctant to let his wife work in the fields."

Since the effectiveness of the Jiji grass, the people of Xiaoqian Village have released goodwill towards Wang Wei and Xiaoxiao. Even when teasing, it's all in good spirits.
