In this way, Han Lihua was taken away by Han Yuluo. Everyone thought she disappeared after being beaten by her mother, and Sheng Xiaohong’s reputation hit rock bottom. She was considered a vicious woman who beat her own daughter and drove her away.
When the sky began to darken, the villagers finally completed the water canal work. After placing the last stone on the canal wall, Li Chenmo let out a sigh. He straightened his back and looked at the sunset.
"Everyone, thank you for your hard work. We will start spring plowing at five o’clock tomorrow morning. If you need tools, you can borrow them from the office. If you have your own, just come to the fields. Okay, everyone. You can go back home now." Han Yuheng said with a smile.
After a day’s work, the villagers were too tired to chat. After Han Yuheng finished speaking, they dispersed and returned to their homes.
After washing his face, hands, and feet with river water, Li Chenmo walked back home carrying the bamboo basket. Unlike other people whose house was in the village, his house was outside the village so he needed to walk further. When he neared home, it was already dark, but the moon had not yet risen high enough to light the way.
Li Chenmo walked slowly while focusing on the road because he couldn’t see the road clearly. Suddenly the road brightened and he looked up. Due to the light coming from the flashlight, he couldn’t clearly see the person walking towards him.
"Husband, I’m here to pick you up. It’s already dark, and it’s dangerous to walk without light."
Li Chenmo smiled when he heard his wife’s voice. He reached out to hold her hand and asked, "Why did you come out? Although it is early spring, the weather is still very cold at night."
Lu Jueyu intertwined their fingers and said, "I’m worried about you."
They returned to their home hand in hand. Since it was dark, no one noticed that their fingers were intertwined.
"Husband, what do you want for breakfast tomorrow?" Lu Jueyu asked suddenly.
Li Chenmo listened to her words, chuckled, and asked, "Wife, we haven’t had dinner yet, why are you asking about tomorrow’s meal? Shouldn’t you ask me what I want to eat for dinner?"
"I have prepared dinner, so there is no point asking you. So, what do you want to have for breakfast?" She asked again.
"I’m fine with anything."
"Is it okay to have rice for breakfast?" Lu Jueyu asked.
"Mhmm."
"Alright then. What time do you go out tomorrow?"
