Liu Duo, who was sitting on the small slope, saw Li Chunmei staring at them when she lifted her head. Was it a coincidence? Li Chunmei immediately looked away and continued harvesting the seedlings.

However, Liu Duo frowned in response to this.

She muttered in her heart, What does that look in Li Chunmei's eyes mean? Is she planning on causing trouble?

"Ling, you better limit your interactions with that Li Chunmei! It would be best if you treat her the way Mo treats her and just keep giving her that look." Liu Duo suddenly said this to Ye Ling.

As a woman, her woman's intuition was telling her that this Li Chunmei was planning on doing something bad!

Ye Ling nodded when he heard her. "Duo Er, you can rest assured. I will listen to you."

He knew Liu Duo didn't like Li Chunmei. It wasn't just because she was interested in Mo, but also because Liu Duo just didn't like her as a person at all.

After resting for quite a while, Ye Ling finally went back to the paddy field to harvest the seedlings. Ye Yang and the other two continued to carry the harvested seedlings back.

Liu Ran still stayed at home in the end because while he had been halfway there with Ye Yang, they ran into Ye Liu and Ye Mo. He had no choice but to follow them back to open the door.

He felt that it would be better if there was someone at home so he continued to read in the yard.

Li Chunmei, who was in the neighboring field, saw that Ye Ling and the others were almost done with harvesting the seedlings. However, she still had one-third of the seedlings left to harvest. She felt very annoyed as her family members didn't come to help!

"Ling," Li Chunmei shouted towards him.

Ye Ling lifted his head and looked at her when he heard her. However, he didn't say anything and his eyes seemed to be asking, Is there something?

Li Chunmei took a few steps towards him before saying, "Ling, can you guys come to help me once you guys are done harvesting the seedlings in your paddy field?"

She even pointed to her family's paddy field as she spoke. "I still have a lot I haven't harvested. I don't know how long it would take for me to finish harvesting them by myself."

Before, he would've promised to help without hesitation when he heard her. But now that Liu Duo had told him to stay away from her, how could he go close to her right after he promised his wife?

Although helping was very normal, this would be betraying Liu Duo's words…

Li Chunmei saw that he didn't say anything after a long time, but she wasn't in a hurry so she just looked at him.

She knew Ye Ling would agree!

Ye Ling saw she was waiting for his reply so he replied very gently and apologetically. "Chunmei, I'm sorry but I can't help you. We still have a lot of things to do at our house. We still need to organize the seedlings after we bring them back, and there's also the tomatoes, so I…"

He had already made it so clear, so how could Li Chunmei not understand?

She frowned. Why would the most amiable Ye Ling speak like this?

He actually refused to help her?

Ye Ling saw that there was slight anger and unhappiness on her face but he couldn't do anything about it. He would not go against Liu Duo's words.

He said it again, "Chunmei, I'm very sorry!"

After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and continued harvesting the seedlings.

In response to this, however, Li Chunmei's anger immediately shot up. She had been willing to help them plant the seedlings in the past, but asking them to help her harvest the seedlings was too difficult?

How could they not know how to return the favor?

However, she didn't think about how Ye Mo hadn't actually asked her to help. She had just insisted on helping them plant the seedlings no matter what!

Li Chunmei looked at Ye Ling, who was harvesting the seedlings and then looked at Liu Duo, who was sitting on the slope. She felt that it was definitely because she had said something to Ye Ling!

Liu Duo was already looking at Ye Ling as he worked when she saw Li Chunmei had gone to speak with him. She then saw Li Chunmei looking at her in an unfriendly way and she raised her eyebrows.

She muttered in her heart, Is there something wrong with this woman?

She got up, tidied her skirt, and then went towards the paddy field.
