Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1159: Chapter 1160: Vicious Threats

Everyone: ”...”

Gong Juechen: ”...” Sister, could you not expose me like that!

Ye Zhi was initially stunned, then suddenly stood up, hands on hips, and laughed uproariously to the sky, ”Haha, so it was you who fell into the manure pit, hahaha...”

Seeing Ye Zhi so happy, Gong Juechen felt quite content inside and didn’t resent Gong Juese for spilling his secrets. In fact, he was rather grateful to Gong Juese. If his sister hadn’t exposed his past, she wouldn’t have been this overjoyed.

However, despite feeling content, Gong Juechen didn’t show it on his face. Instead, he looked embarrassed and whispered very softly, ”That was all when I was a child...”

Ye Zhi continued to laugh uncontrollably, ”Anyway, it was you who fell into the manure pit!”

An Jing kept silent for a moment before speaking up, ”We’re all eating right now, could you please not talk about manure pits? How are we supposed to keep eating with you talking like that?”

”Alright, alright, I won’t talk about it,” replied Ye Zhi, still laughing incessantly. ”But Boss, I’m just so happy, allow me to laugh a bit more, hahaha...”

Aside from Gong Juechen, who thoroughly enjoyed seeing Ye Zhi so happy, everyone else thought Ye Zhi might have actually gone insane.

After finishing the meal, Ye Zhi ’slyly’ threatened, ”Gong Juechen, if you bug me again, I’ll throw you into the manure pit.”

Gong Juechen: ”...”

Perhaps he was afraid Ye Zhi would really throw him into the manure pit, because after that, Gong Juechen became much more well-behaved.

Seeing Gong Juechen act a lot more compliant, Ye Zhi became even more convinced that Gong Juechen, this idiot, truly detested foul smells.

...

On the third day of the tenth month, it marked exactly a month since Ye Zhi had arrived.

That day, Ye Zhi came to find An Jing, saying she was now quite familiar with the place and ready to go out and find a job to support herself.

In Ye Zhi’s opinion, she couldn’t keep relying on An Jing for food, drink, and everything else.

Even if An Jing didn’t mind, she did. She felt very uneasy about it.

She wasn’t without hands and feet; how could she do nothing and depend on someone else for support?

An Jing also knew Ye Zhi’s temperament, and did not stop her from wanting to find a job and earn money. An Jing simply said, ”Here, it is not proper for women to show their faces publicly. Finding work outside might be difficult. Why not take a job at the mansion? I can pay you a salary?”

Ye Zhi felt that would still be taking advantage of the mansion, so she refused, ”I still want to go outside and look. I believe I can be self-sufficient.”

Seeing Ye Zhi so determined, An Jing didn’t say anything more.

Just then, Gong Juechen’s loud voice was heard, ”Jingjing, is Zhizhi with you? I went to her place, but she wasn’t there.”

An Jing immediately gave Ye Zhi a meaningful look and whispered with a laugh, ”He still likes to pester you so much.”

Ye Zhi replied irritably, ”I don’t know what’s inside his head, I clearly loathe him, yet he’s still like this! But fortunately, he hasn’t been as terrible as he was a few days ago. My threat to throw him into the manure pit must have worked.”

An Jing said, ”He told me it was when he was six that he accidentally fell into the manure pit. He was young at the time, so it’s no wonder he has a shadow in his heart, and hates bad smells so much.”

Ye Zhi just hmphed and didn’t respond.

The moment Gong Juechen entered, he saw Ye Zhi and An Jing, and he immediately ran over to Ye Zhi, beaming, ”Zhizhi, so you were really here! Every time I ask Jingjing outside, she never answers me, I always have to come in and see for myself.”
