The task was to weed in the sesame field, considered an easy job. Yuan Chun was assigned a patch one acre in size. This was her task for the day.
She moved quickly and worked efficiently, managing to finish weeding in just three hours.
Halfway through the weeding, a notorious scoundrel showed up.
"Yuan Chun, working alone is so boring, not even someone to chat with. Let me help you weed and chat with you. We can develop our relationship. My mom said she likes you and wants you to be her daughter-in-law. As long as you agree, I won't let you work in the fields anymore and will pamper you at home like a goddess."
"Not happening. I don't fancy you."
Yuan Chun was disgusted.
This was Er Laizi, a well-known rascal in the village—old, ugly, and a notorious bachelor. His mother was even more infamous in the village as an old shrew, and once you got involved with this mother and son duo, it was hard to shake them off.
Of course, Yuan Chun had her ways of dealing with him.
