After Xiaoxiao left, Li Chuntao’s barely maintained facade imdiately crumbled.
Arriving at the Yang Family village full of confidence, she never expected such an outco.
Her mind was now a complete ss; she didn’t want to give up. This was the first ti she’d ever liked soone.
But she had no choice but to give up.
She stood there in the courtyard, dazed, watching as the family cart moved ears of corn in and out of the yard.
Alu noticed her lady standing in the courtyard, seemingly lost in thought for quite a while, so she went inside to fetch a stool, placing it beside Li Chuntao. "Miss, have a seat and rest for a bit."
Looking at the stool Alu brought, Li Chuntao nodded and sat down.
She had never had any maids before, their family also didn’t have any servants.
Alu was only recently bought to take care of her after she nearly died trying to lose weight.
Once seated, her thoughts drifted far away, until the noise from next door caught her attention.
Next door, they were also using a cart to transport corn ho.
Initially, she didn’t pay it any attention, after all, it was the harvest season, and every household was in the sa situation.
However, she glanced over to see what kind of household was next door, thinking she might offer so kind of greeting gift since it was her first day here.
But just one glance made her eyes widen instantly.
Because she saw Yang Dong pulling the cart into the courtyard.
Wasn’t Yang Dong helping Yang Xiaocui’s family with their corn? So this ant that next door was Yang Xiaocui’s house?
As Yang Dong entered the courtyard, he had already noticed Li Chuntao sitting next door.
He was a bit surprised, wondering what she was doing sitting there.
But why did her expression look so sorrowful?
What could she be sad about?
He was puzzled when he noticed the girl suddenly turned her head to look at him, with a very surprised expression.
He quickly shifted his gaze away, startled.
He thought she must be shocked because he was looking at her.
He was a man, and a man who was already engaged; staring at a girl like that was indeed improper.
After entering the courtyard, he helped unload the corn and quickly left.
Making several trips back and forth with the corn, each ti he returned, he still found that girl sitting in the courtyard, lost in thought.
He didn’t know why his eyes unconsciously drifted towards the next door.
It always felt like the girl had sothing on her mind, could she have co to the countryside to heal a broken heart?
But these thoughts were not his concern and didn’t matter to him.
By this ti, it was getting dark. Yang Xiaocui’s family had all returned from the fields, and it was ti to go to the uncle’s house for dinner.
After unloading the corn, Yang Dong said, "Aunt Lan Hua, I’ll head back now."
This Yang Dong had helped Aunt Lan Hua’s family with a lot of work, and even when he was leaving, Aunt Lan Hua didn’t even offer a face wash or a drink of water. She truly treated Yang Dong like a workhorse, yet she didn’t forget to remind him, "Okay, Yang Dong, you can go back, but don’t forget to co early tomorrow morning."
"Okay," Yang Dong replied, about to turn and leave, completely ignoring Yang Xiaocui nearby.
Although he had co to help Yang Xiaocui’s family with the work, he hadn’t interacted with Yang Xiaocui at all; if Yang Xiaocui didn’t speak to him first, he wouldn’t speak to her either. He genuinely only ca to work.
