It wasn't that Yuan Si loved to work, but Li Mubo was just such a blockhead. He was completely useless at farm work. She had no idea how the man had even survived in the countryside before becoming a soldier—he was even worse than her, a newbie who had only arrived a few years ago. This must be why the old lady was so dead-set on having Li Mubo become a factory worker in the city. As his mother, she must have known her son wasn't cut out for this. If he stayed in the village, he would only fall further and further behind.
Yuan Si grumbled to herself as she walked briskly toward the fields.
When she reached the edge of the field, she saw her older cousin from her uncle's family helping Li Mubo push his cart, just as she'd expected.
Yuan Si rolled her eyes and shouted to her auntie, "Auntie, I'm going to go pull up cornstalks! You should have Uncle come back and get some rest. Let my two older cousins come help me gather the stalks instead."
