Chapter 41 Trouble

The western sky glowed with a thousand miles of crimson, as the sun was about to set; it was the season when days were long and nights short.

By now, it was already past seven o'clock.

To ensure the medicinal herbs could be planted the next day, the three had not minded the scorching sun and toiled up to this moment.

On the way back to the village, the trio chattered and laughed.

Perhaps this was what it meant: though the work was hard, it brought great joy. For they strove for work, for their ideals.

Dinner was had at Zhao Tieniu's home.

Knowing that tomorrow would be another tough day, everyone only drank a little.

After all, they were concerned that drinking too much might interfere with getting up early and working the next morning.

During the meal, Sun Qian sat between Zhang Xiaofan and Zhao Tieniu.

It was a normal arrangement, but Sun Qian began her mischievous acts again.

Today was different from before; before, it was Zhao Tieniu who had drunk too much.
