Hu Sister-in-Law nodded: "Isn't that right? Speaking of which, fate really liked to play tricks on people. Thinking back to how she was in the past, how could anyone like her when she did so many bad things? But ever since she had experienced dying once, her personality had changed. The heavens have truly opened their eyes."

Old Hu smiled as he packed up his things, "It was also fate that she hasn't died yet. But her craftsmanship is quite good. Anyway, we have to go there tomorrow to help, so we can't come back home to cook. Why don't we bring some eggs over there tomorrow?"

Hu Sister-in-Law immediately agreed: "Of course, we can't just eat and drink for free. After all, they have helped us a lot, so I will bring more tomorrow."

Old Hu: "Good, then I will go meet a few people in the village before I go work together with Old Huo."

After he finished speaking, Old Hu tidied up everything, then went under the big locust tree in the village.

Usually at this time, these men with muddy legs in the village have already finished their work and will squat in this place to gather around and chat. Only men like them go in this place and women generally won't come here.

They like chatting here as to have a rest from a tiring day of work. When they are free, they would talk about women just for fun.

Right now, there were many men talking and laughing while sitting under the locust tree.

Guo Dan Er's father saw Old Hu coming from the crowd and immediately shouted, "Yo, did the sun rise from the west? How come you're also here?"

Hearing that, everyone looked over and saw Old Hu walking over.

There was one more person among them, and that was Lai Wengui. At this time, Lai Wengui's face revealed a lewd smile, "I'm afraid he got tired facing his old wife every day, so he came out to have a taste of some freshness, right?"

Hearing this, everyone burst out laughing.

Old Hu knew what sort of person Lai Wengui was, so he didn't bother with him anymore. He pulled Gou Dan Er's father to the side.

"I came here to talk to you about something. Go with me to Old Huo's place tomorrow. He opened a vegetable garden in front of his yard and wanted to dig a well. We're all from the same village, let's go and help out."

Guo Dan Er's father was stunned, "Old Huo? Was it the expert hunter in the village, Huo Li?"

Old Hu nodded, "Who else could it be other than this Old Huo?"

Guo Dan Er's father immediately felt curious. "Yo, Old Hu, since when did you get close to that iceberg?"

Hearing this, Lai Wengui interrupted again: "Could it be that you also fell for that ugly monster, Lin Xiaoye?"

Everyone immediately laughed.

Don't look at how usually Lai Wengui always pretends to be a gentle and refined scholar, he was only like this in front of women. When he was with these muddy legs men, his thoughts were filthy.

Old Hu frowned and waved his hand, "Fuck you. She's now living a good life with her family, you can't just say those nonsense. What's the matter? Do you also want to go help tomorrow? We will have lunch at Old Huo's place."

When he heard that there's food to eat, Gou Dan Er's father immediately said, "That Lin Xiaoye is very ugly and has a bad temper. Not to mention whether she's willing to cook for us, even if she knows how to cook, would the food be edible?"

"That's right, the food she cooked would be as ugly as her face and the smell would be the same as the disgusting smell on her body, right?" Lai Wengui said again.

Old Hu waved his hands: "Lai Wengui, if you don't want to go, no one will force you. We're all from the same village and they didn't provoke you. Why must you drag them in?"

"Yo yo yo, you're still saying that you don't fancy that ugly monster, but you were helping her to speak up. Aren't you just going to help dig a well? I'll go. Everyone, let's go there and see if that stinky woman's food would be delicious or nasty."

Lai Wengui laughed again after saying this.

After listening to Lai Wengui's words, Old Hu was worried in his heart. He didn't know if it was a good or bad thing that he had told Lai Wengui about this matter today, but if Lai Wengui really did go there tomorrow and say something that would hurt Old Huo's wife, then wouldn't he have done something bad out of good intentions?

Obviously, what Old Hu was worried about was inevitable.

The next morning, Lin Xiaoye got up early and made some steamed buns with white flour. The main reason was that Old Hu would be bringing a few people to help dig the well today, but she didn't know how many would come. When the time comes, she would definitely let them eat their fill and this white flour was naturally the most filling.

In addition, she also made corn tortillas and a bit of coarse grain pancakes. Everyone's tastes are always different, so she made some more.

Huo Li, on the other hand, went up the mountain early this morning. With Lin Xiaoye at home today, he woke up earlier than usual. It was still early in the morning and the village was still quiet, so he went up.

Lin Xiaoye was pretty much done with her work. She looked outside and guessed that Huo Li should be back by now.

She placed the steamed buns into the steamer and washed her hands before going to the entrance of the yard to take a look.

She really did see Huo Li walking towards her, step by step. She also saw that Huo Li was carrying a lot of things.

Lin Xiaoye quickly went up to welcome him.

"How did you get so many game?"

She took a closer look and besides the hare, there was also a wild boar, as well as a few other birds. Eh, what was that long thing hanging on his waist?

"AHH! Snake, it's a snake!"

Lin Xiaoye jumped up in fright and shouted a few times.

Huo Li untied the snake from his waist and intentionally shook it in front of Lin Xiaoye. When he saw her face turn green from fright, he felt amused and even laughed out loud.

This truly infuriated Lin Xiaoye. She raised her hand and slapped Huo Li's arm.

"You still have the nerve to laugh? This thing is so scary. If you scare Little Mochi later, see how I'll take care of you."

With that, Lin Xiaoye carried the hare that was just thrown onto the floor and headed towards the kitchen in a huff.

But she didn't know that the words she just said touched Huo Li's heart.

Did she just say that she was worried about scaring Little Mochi? Had she finally decided to treat Little Mochi nicely?

Thinking about this, Huo Li couldn't help but smile. He felt that it would be great if they could live like this from now on.

Just as Huo Li was about to walk into the house, he heard voices coming from outside.

"Old Huo's wife, we're here."

At a glance, he saw Old Hu and Hu Sister-in-Law, as well as two or three other people.

Huo Li nodded. "Thank you for your hard work."

Old Hu became more enthusiastic when he heard Huo Li's rare words.

"What's so hard about this? We are all from the same village. As long as we can help, we'll naturally do our best. I've already brought the things that we will need and we can probably start working now."
