Chapter 19: Suffering

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yi Ke walked unsteadily on the fields. Her small sandals were not suitable for going into the field. Yu Heng looked at her wobbly walk and finally decided to ignore her and let her play by herself.

It took Yi Ke a long time to walk up to the two of them. She sized up Yi Shi’s scallion pancake and couldn’t help but frown. Wasn’t she afraid of high blood pressure if she ate too much of this oily food?

As if seeing the disdain on her face, Yi Shi and Yu Heng, who were originally chatting happily, fell silent. Yu Heng put down the remaining half of the pancake in his hand and asked Yi Ke, “What are you doing in the field? Who brought you here?”

Yi Ke was still smiling. She reached out to block the sun. “The village wasn’t built by your family. Can’t I just walk around? What are you doing in the field today?”

Yu Heng didn’t really want to talk to her, but when he thought about how he still owed her money, it was better to avoid trouble. In the end, he swallowed his anger and replied, “Cut the weeds and water them.”

Yi Ke nodded. “Then why are you sitting here eating pancakes? Are you slacking off?”

Yi Shi was unhappy to hear her say this and quickly defended Yu Heng. “Young Miss, you have to know that you can rest if you’re tired. Humans aren’t machines that won’t be tired.”

Yi Ke did not answer her directly. She only widened her eyes and sized Yu Heng up. “You’re so muscular. I thought you could last for a long time. It’s less than an hour and a half since you left, right? You’re so tired. Why don’t you go to the hospital for a kidney check up?”

When Yu Heng heard her say this, the veins on his arms bulged. No man could accept being mocked for having a weak kidney. He took one look at Yi Ke and went down to the field, but his movements were more than twice as fast as before.

Seeing that Yi Ke didn’t answer her, Yi Shi felt that she was being despised. She wanted to avenge Yu Heng. Just as she was about to organize her words and speak, she met Yi Ke’s innocent expression.

As they got closer, Yi Shi realized how good Yi Ke’s skin was. It was as smooth and white as milk, without a single flaw. Her eyebrows looked like they had been drawn with the best ink. Her cherry lips were red and shiny, but her words were unpleasant.

Yi Shi was shocked again. She had used cosmetics for a long time in the past, but she was from the countryside after all. When she was young, she had been doing farm work all day long, so her skin was naturally rough.

Now that she had transmigrated, she was still in a remote village. She did not have any useful skincare products and could not compare to Yi Ke at all. Yi Shi sighed. Comparisons were indeed infuriating. She stopped struggling with how to win against Yi Ke and walked to her field to start weeding.

Yi Ke had nothing to do. She could only look at the sky and the fields, thinking about what else she could do later.

The summer sun was very strong. It was only ten in the morning, but it was already unbearable. They were surrounded by fields, and there was no place to hide from the sun. Yi Ke looked at Yi Shi and Yu Heng, who were working in the fields, and began to regret why she had come out to suffer.

However, she had no intention of going back. She had a feeling that Yi Shi and Yu Heng would develop after she left.

The Will of the World had said that in her previous life, Yi Shi had lived so comfortably because she was close to the male lead and absorbed the male lead’s luck. This time, she was reborn. She definitely could not follow the same path as in her previous life and repeat the same mistake.

If Yi Shi didn’t want to go back, she wouldn’t either. However, she had been under the sun for more than half an hour and couldn’t hold on much longer.

Yi Ke couldn’t take it anymore. She stood on the ridge and shouted at Yu Heng, “Hey, come here.”

“What’s wrong now?” Yu Heng couldn’t take it anymore. He really couldn’t understand why this Eldest Miss didn’t stay at home and insisted on coming to the field to torture him.

“I can’t take it anymore. Help me think of a way.” Yi Ke was too hot, so hot that she became irritable. She didn’t care too much and walked towards Yu Heng. “Look, my face is red from the sun. Help me think of a way. Otherwise, it will be very uncomfortable if I get sunburned.”

Yu Heng saw that her originally fair face had turned red and was covered in sweat. He couldn’t help but sigh. “Then you can just go back. Why do you have to stand here?”

“You think I don’t want to go back? I don’t know the way! You have to walk me back.”

Yu Heng even tried to reason with her. “I can’t send you off. It takes an hour to go back and forth. I’ve already wasted a day yesterday. I have to finish my work today.”

How could the extremely hot Yi Ke understand him? She kept fanning herself with her hands and looked at Yu Heng, who was a head taller than her. “I don’t care. If you don’t help me think of a way, I’ll cause trouble for you. You won’t be able to finish your work today.”
