Chapter - 89 - Pretending To Be A Good Person

Upon seeing her agree, Yi Minghuan was visibly excited to begin teaching her the movements. However, Tang Li quickly declined, her fear mounting.

If she continued with the training, she'd have no energy left to work in the fields.

"I can't afford to take any more time off. Without work points, we won't have any money. I'll head to work first. What about you? Have you decided between joining the guard or working in the fields? I'd suggest the guard job; it seems more suited to you," Tang Li suggested.

Yi Minghuan nodded, "Yes, I'm considering joining the guard as well. I'll register in the morning. As soon as my account is set up, we can apply for the marriage certificate and your account."

Tang Li nodded in agreement.

"I'll prepare breakfast shortly. I'll leave it in a large pot for you to eat when you return from the field. I should be back from town around noon to prepare lunch." Yi Minghuan said.

"I mentioned yesterday that I'll be picking up Uncle Wang for dinner at noon, so you can steam some buns and stir-fry some dishes. Also, check if there are chickens for sale in town. Buy ten of them, but let's hold off on buying pigs for now.

We can do that later because the autumn harvest season is quite busy. And regarding the gate, find the carpenter in our team and inquire about the cost of building a new one."

While tidying up and getting ready, Tang Li provided these instructions one after another, handing over the money and ensuring he had everything in order.

She finally asked, "Can you remember everything I mentioned I wanted to buy?"

Though Yi Minghuan felt somewhat overwhelmed and annoyed by all these tasks, he made a genuine effort to remember and assured her he would complete the tasks without fail.

"Then I'm off to the field," Tang Li said with a smile, picking up her farming tools and hurrying to the team's gathering point.

At home, Yi Minghuan, who had become the head of the household, was accustomed to the chores, so carrying out Tang Li's orders wasn't too challenging.

This time, he prepared soup, but without Tang Li's spring water, it tasted rather ordinary, leading Yi Minghuan to doubt life.

However, this fleeting moment of self-reflection soon faded from his mind. After finishing his meal, Yi Minghuan borrowed a bicycle and rushed to town.

Meanwhile, Tang Li reached the gathering point of their second team, where almost everyone had assembled. The team captain was busy organizing tasks and assigning work to the group

As she arrived, she felt two unfriendly stares upon her, one from Yi Wanjing and the other from Xiao Ru.

Tang Li, in response, shot them a cold look, and then, her attention turned to the absence of Su Cheng.

It appeared that Su Cheng had yet to return from her mother's house, having left the previous day. Considering the reason behind her departure, Tang Li curled her lips mischievously, a glint of cunning in her eyes.

Thus, after the team captain had finished arranging the work, she called Yi Wanjing's name loudly, seemingly with concern:

"Second brother, has mother-in-law recovered from her fever? My sister-in-law isn't sure when she'll be back from her mother's house this time. Do you want me to go and take care of mother-in-law and help with the cooking?"

Yi Wanjing was furious when he heard her pretending to be a good person. He raged, pointing a finger at Tang Li and hurling insults at her.

"You wicked woman, don't play the good Samaritan here! You're responsible for my mother's fever! It's your fault that my daughter-in-law went back to her mother's house!"

Tang Li pretended to cower in fear, lowering her head, and quickly made her way over to Yi Feng, telling her:

"Captain, my mother-in-law gets angry when she sees me and Minghuan. My second brother insists that it's our fault that she's upset, but there's nothing we can do.

My second sister-in-law is eager to hold her baby, but my second brother refuses to take her to the county hospital for a doctor's visit. In a fit of anger, she went back to her mother's house!"
