Chapter 80: Didn't Get the Melon, Fell into a Pit (1/2)

Xiaobai's efficiency is frighteningly high.

Ruan Tang strolled around the neighborhood for a while, tossed a few wild fruit saplings that looked pleasing into her spatial storage, and when she turned around, her large, waist-high basket was already full.

The pig feed was stuffed so full it was overflowing, and the top was carefully tied twice with vines, forming a flamboyant bow.

Little White squatted next to the bow, its two front paws on its hips, its big, shimmering tail swaying behind it like a little windmill, its face saying: Look, this is all the empire I built for you!

Ruan Tang reached out, picked up Xiao Bai, and rubbed its little head. "Xiao Bai, you're getting more and more amazing."

Xiao Bai puffed out her little chest, with an expression that said, "Of course."

Ruan Tang was amused by what she saw. She took out a handful of peanut candy from her spatial storage and gave it to the pig, then put the basket of pig feed into her spatial storage.

Ruan Tang glanced at her watch. It was still early, only nine o'clock, and there was still a long time before she had to finish work at noon.

That's the good thing about the rules of Jixiang Brigade. Except for the busy harvest season, the work is divided according to work points, and whoever wants to do as much work as they want can take as much work as they want.

As long as you are quick and efficient, you can finish your tasks for the day and then arrange the rest of your time as you see fit. Of course, you can also continue to take on tasks and earn work points.

So in Jixiang Brigade, when it's not particularly busy, the village women can almost always finish work around three or four o'clock in the afternoon and go home to tend to their private plots.

Men would work a full day to earn more work points to support their families.

Ruan Tang's daily task now is to carry a basket of pig feed. Xiao Bai has already prepared tomorrow's amount for her, so she's not in a hurry to go home.

Since she had nothing better to do, she simply put the sycophantic Little White back into her spatial storage, changed into a small basket, and headed deeper into the mountains and forests. Ruan Tang planned to see if she could find some more good items.

Who knew that just as she wandered to the mountainside of another mountain, a series of intermittent arguments drifted into her ears on the mountain breeze.

The woman's voice was high-pitched and thin, with a fierce edge in her sobs.

"...I don't care! You have to give me an explanation today! My belly is about to burst! You promised to marry me!"

The man's voice was much lower, revealing barely suppressed frustration and guilt: "Shh! Keep your voice down! Don't you know what the situation is? Can this be rushed? Wait a little longer... wait until I get back and convince my mom..."

Ruan Tang's feet were nailed to the spot.

Their ears immediately perked up.

The "gossip" string in her mind immediately started ringing!

This...this content is too explosive!

Adultery! Pregnancy! Forced marriage!

Good heavens, this is way more interesting than any novel about cultivating immortality!

Ruan Tang almost instinctively held her breath, crouched down, and moved her feet lightly. Her bright almond-shaped eyes darted around in the woods, searching for the best "viewing spot".

Its stealthy, elusive manner resembled that of a badger that had discovered a melon patch.

Be careful, don't get yourself involved.

Yan Yu's lazy voice, with a hint of watching a good show, echoed in his mind along with the contract.

Ruan Tang paused, snorted inwardly in dissatisfaction, and ignored him.

This guy underestimated her!

Ruan Tang quickly hid behind a large rock about half her height, and through the cracks in the rock, she successfully saw the arguing couple.

The man was wearing a white polyester shirt and green military pants. His hair was neatly combed, and although it was a little messy from being grabbed by the woman, he still looked like a respectable person, like a junior cadre.

The woman was wearing a slightly worn floral shirt, had two braids, and was quite pretty, but her face was covered in tears, making her look somewhat disheveled. Her abdomen was indeed slightly protruding.

The two were still pulling and tugging at each other, their tempers escalating.

The woman abruptly shook off the man's hand, her voice rising: "Wait, wait! Are you going to wait until the baby is born to call someone else 'father'? Wu Jianmin, you heartless bastard!"
