Chapter 46: Mr. Qin Can Smile, How Novel!
Sensing something, Lin Jiayi’s face blushed with embarrassment, "Cut it out, I’m asking you about how the business is going? It’s been so many days, when can we start doing business?"
Speaking of doing business, Li Guangyuan’s enthusiasm cooled a bit, "Doing business isn’t so easy. The corn in the fields needs fertilizing and I can’t spare the time. How about this, you come to the fields with me these next few days, we’ll start by fertilizing the corn, and once we’re done with the work there, I’ll go to the city to look around."
"You want me to join you working in the fields?" Lin Jiayi asked incredulously.
In her last life, she had never labored in the fields even when she was married to Qin Yang.
"Is this your mother’s idea? Li Guangyuan, have you forgotten what you told me when we first got married? You said I would be treated the same in your family as I was in my parents’ home, and I never did fieldwork there."
"No, no," Li Guangyuan embraced her again, "It’s just that I’m in a rush to do business. If I can’t finish the work in the fields, I won’t have time to look for business opportunities. Besides, you see how upset you get with my two sisters around the house, so it’s better if you come to the fields with me. Out of sight, out of mind; I’m doing this for your own good."
"Why can’t you make Hongmei and Dongmei help you in the fields? They’re grown adults, mooching off without doing any work at home all day."
"If they both leave, who will be left to take care of my mother? If you come with me to the fields, we’ll be away from everyone, and once there, you can do as much or as little work as you want. I will let you be."
Lin Jiayi was finally swayed by these words, nodding her head, "Alright, but let’s be clear, I’m not doing any heavy labor."
"No, no, even if you wanted to, I wouldn’t bear to let you work hard," Li Guangyuan reassured, wrapping his arms around her as his hand slipped inside her clothing.
