Jiang Yexun Is Fragile

As soon as Aunt Guo finished speaking, she worried that her stern attitude might have frightened Su Xiaoxiao. She quickly took Su Xiaoxiao's hand, gently patting it. "Xiaoxiao, don't be scared. I wasn't scolding you just now. I was just thinking about the gossipy women in the village, and it made me a little angry."

"I understand," Su Xiaoxiao replied, squeezing Aunt Guo's hand back with a soft smile.

Jiang Yexun glanced at her, thought for a moment, and said, "You don't need to worry about what they might say. From now on, I'll go help you in the fields every day. I'll complete the six required labor points and then come back. That way, the records will show that you're earning the basic 150 labor points every month. When it's time to return to the city, they won't have any reason to hold you back."

"That's not necessary. I don't want to exhaust you," Su Xiaoxiao quickly refused.

She was merely looking for an excuse to have kids, not to add more workload to the family.
