Chapter 734 - 730: An Dongyang Suspects Xu Wenwan

Xu Wenwan tried her best to ignore his gaze, but An Dongyang’s stare was intense and piercing. He was looking at her without even blinking, making it impossible for her to disregard him.

She found herself unable to apply her lipstick. Finally, she simply turned to face An Dongyang, her expression puzzled.

"Dongyang, what on earth is wrong with you?"

An Dongyang didn’t reply. He just scrutinized Xu Wenwan’s face. Seeing her look of confusion, he suddenly spoke. "Xu Wenwan, are you hiding something from me?"

At his words, Xu Wenwan’s heart gave a violent tremor.

’I’ve been meeting a lot of men recently and absorbing their luck. Could it be that those men remembered me and told An Dongyang about it?’

Xu Wenwan started to panic.

The whole affair was too fantastical; she had no idea how she could possibly explain it to An Dongyang.

Suddenly, Xu Wenwan didn’t dare to meet An Dongyang’s eyes.

Seeing Xu Wenwan avert her gaze, An Dongyang’s cold eyes narrowed. No matter how he looked at it, her expression screamed guilt.

An Dongyang was instantly enraged.

He, An Dongyang, could cheat on others, but he would never accept someone cheating on him.

"Xu Wenwan, you really are shameless! You..."

But just as An Dongyang was about to fly off the handle, he realized he had no proof. He didn’t even know who the man Xu Wenwan had hooked up with was.

As the saying goes, you catch a thief with the stolen goods, and you catch cheaters in the act.

He had to catch her red-handed. Otherwise, what could he do if Xu Wenwan simply denied it?

So An Dongyang dropped the subject. But from that day forward, he started watching Xu Wenwan like a hawk, so much so that she didn’t dare go out to find luck for her system.

After the wheat harvest came the corn planting. Once the corn was planted, it had to be watered and fertilized with manure.

Gu Jiaojiao didn’t want to do such smelly work, so she simply took time off.

The villagers were already used to Gu Jiaojiao taking time off to avoid work. Even when she did show up, she would just stroll leisurely around the edges of the fields. And why not? She’d married a capable man who could easily do the work of two people all by himself!

Speaking of Gu Jiaojiao skipping work, everyone couldn’t help but bring up Sun Yeshu, who had tried to compete with her, gotten scolded by her husband, and then thrown a tantrum and run back to her parents’ house.

Aunt Leng knew about this and was incredibly annoyed. This daughter-in-law of hers couldn’t carry a load on her shoulders or lift anything with her hands. Not only was she completely useless for farm work, but she also insisted on comparing herself to Gu Jiaojiao.

Because of her rivalry, she’d dragged her own husband down, causing him to faint in the fields. He had to rest at home for several days just to recover, which made his brothers start to complain.

The matriarch was still alive, and the family hadn’t split the household yet, meaning everyone worked and ate together. During the busy farming season, with neither that husband nor wife working, even the third branch of the family was starting to grumble.

Aunt Leng was thoroughly fed up with her daughter-in-law. There was so much to do, yet she had no choice but to send Leng Qingtian to the Sun family’s home to bring her back.

After all, Sun Yeshu was pregnant! She might not care much for her daughter-in-law, but she certainly cared about her grandchild. For the grandchild’s sake, she had to get her back.

Leng Qingtian had no other choice but to go to the Sun family’s home, gifts in hand.

But the Sun family wasn’t so easily placated. They gave Leng Qingtian a severe tongue-lashing and only let the couple meet after seeing that his attitude was sufficiently sincere.

Sun Yeshu was happy to see Leng Qingtian had come for her, but a girl had to maintain some reserve. She couldn’t just go back with him that easily.

So, in front of everyone, she laid out a few demands.

"Fine, I can go back with you, but I have a few demands. I’ll only come back if you agree to them."

Leng Qingtian patiently coaxed her, "As long as you come back with me, I’ll agree to anything."
