"What are you talking about, girl? It was you who gave us the new rice seeds that day. How could I not know you?" Feng Fei felt embarrassed when he thought about how they almost coerced a little girl.

Lin Jin made an expression of sudden realization, but she actually didn't remember the other person's face: "You guys are here to plow the fields too."

"Girl, why are you working in the fields by yourself? Even though we have oxen to plow, it's still tiring work. Why don't you hire someone to do it?"

"Ah, this is a long story. It's okay. At worst, we can just plow it slowly. It's not a big deal." Lin Jin pretended to be careless. She just wanted them to leave quickly. If they asked her again, she really wouldn't be able to answer.

Feng Fei frowned, and he didn't know what he was thinking. "Miss Lin Jin, how about this? I have a son at home. He will come back from school tomorrow to help with the spring ploughing. I'll ask him to help you plant."

In fact, even if Lin Jin reported their behavior that day to the county magistrate, they would still be in the wrong. However, Lin Jin did not blame them and even gave them new rice seeds. They will always remember this favor.

Especially afterwards, whenever he thought about this incident, he would toss and turn every night, feeling that he owed this little girl Lin Jin.

"Ah? No, no, I can do it myself. I won't bother you." Lin Jin waved her hands hurriedly. "You misunderstood. I actually like farming. I don't need your help."

Feng Fei's eyes were filled with disbelief: "Who likes to farm? Besides, your family is rich, why do you have to live such a hard life? You don't have to be polite. If you really can't do it, I can help you farm."

He thought that maybe it was because his son was too young that Lin Jin felt embarrassed, so he changed his approach.

Lin Jin: “…”

Really not, really not.

"Thank you, but I really like farming." Lin Jin wanted to cry but had no tears. She just wanted to establish this character first. Otherwise, every time she went to farm, a bunch of people would come out and ask her why she went to the fields. It would be really overwhelming.

"Ms. Lin Jin, please don't be polite with us. You gave my family new rice seeds, and I must repay you for this kindness." Feng Fei said as he took off his shoes and went down to the field, intending to steal Lin Jin's curved plow.

"Stop, stop, stop. You're just standing there. It's just a handful of rice. The word 'favor' is serious, serious." Lin Jin quickly raised her hand to stop Feng Fei from coming over. "I appreciate your kindness."

Liu Zhengqing walked over here with a basket of food and water in his hands. He asked along the way and finally found out which field Lin Jin was in. As a result, he saw from a distance a burly man coming down from the field as if he wanted to steal something.

He couldn't hear the conversation between the two people and thought it was some bad guys. He was startled and put the basket aside and ran over there: "What are you going to do to my sister, you rough man!"

In broad daylight, this guy wants to bully his sister?

Lin Jin turned around and saw Liu Zhengqing running towards her. Instead of feeling relieved, she felt her heart pounding.

It seems like something was misunderstood.

Soon Liu Zhengqing arrived at Lin Jin's field. He didn't even care about his clothes and shoes and stepped into the field.

Even though his walking posture didn't look very elegant, it didn't affect the coldness on Liu Zhengqing's face: "What are you going to do to my sister? Are you a grown man and you want to steal her oxen and plows?"

"No, no, brother, you misunderstood. He wanted to help me plow the fields, but I didn't agree. It's not what you think. No one bullied me." Lin Jin had to calm down Liu Zhengqing, the big Buddha, first.

Sometimes it's really helpless.

Liu Zhengqing stood between the two people and looked back at Lin Jin: "Really?"

"Really, really, really, more real than anything else!" Lin Jin nodded fiercely, fearing that Liu Zhengqing would start to go crazy again and make a fool of himself. "Don't worry, no one is bullying me."

Feng Fei didn't care about Liu Zhengqing's questioning. Instead, he looked at Liu Zhengqing. He didn't know that Liu Zhengqing was an official so he was not afraid of him. He just felt that Liu Zhengqing called himself "sister" all the time and protected him in every way, but he was indeed wearing silk and satin. Then he looked at Lin Jin.

He was wearing coarse linen clothes and his face was flushed from the heat. He looked completely different from Liu Zhengqing.

Feng Fei was filled with anger and spoke up for Lin Jin: "You are Miss Lin Jin's brother? You look like a decent person, why are you doing such an inhuman thing?"

Lin Jin stared at Feng Fei, her mind completely filled with the thought that it was all over.

Although she knew that the other party might have misunderstood the current situation, but Liu Zhengqing... it would be better to scold Song Shiqiu directly than to scold Liu Zhengqing. Song Shiqiu might even give you a quick death.

"If you love Miss Lin Jin so much, how could you bear to let her work in the fields? You don't look like you are short of money, so how come you can't even afford a farmer? Bah!" The more Feng Fei spoke, the more he felt that Liu Zhengqing was a hypocrite, and he spat fiercely at the end.

Lin Jin held his forehead and said, "Uncle, you misunderstood. It's not like that. I want to plant this land myself. My brother can't persuade me."

Liu Zhengqing looks weak, but he is really not weak. Don't really think of him as a scholar who is powerless.

Liu Zhengqing was speechless after hearing what Feng Fei said, but he didn't really argue with him: "This is our family's business, it has nothing to do with you."

"You look clean-skinned, but you're actually a black-hearted coward. What kind of man are you if you only bully your own sister? All the sage books you read have gone to waste." Seeing him like this, Feng Fei became more certain of his own thoughts and became even more angry.

Pretending to be a good person in front of others but bullying his own sister behind their back is really a disgrace to them men.

Lin Jin really didn’t know what to say. She secretly glanced at Liu Zhengqing, as if there was still room for redemption.

"No, it's really not like that. My brother treats me very well and never bullies me. I really want to farm on my own." Lin Jin wanted to swear an oath to prove that it was not Liu Zhengqing who bullied her.

How can I have fun if I just do farming and it attracts criticism?

Feng Fei was convinced that Lin Jin must have been bullied, otherwise who would have let a girl come out to farm? This would only make the men in his family seem useless, and no one wanted to lose face.

"Miss Lin Jin, don't be afraid. Since you have come to our village, you are a member of our village. We cannot let you be bullied like this. Your brother is a piece of shit. We don't want to see such a rotten hearted man. This kind of scum is not worthy of being called brother by you."

Lin Jin was somewhat helpless: "It's really not!"

Why is he getting louder and louder in scolding? How can she explain herself?

"I just like farming! My brother loves me very much, but... I threatened to die so that he wouldn't go to the fields to farm!" Lin Jin said it in a loud and clear voice, and could only give the most ridiculous reason.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Jin felt that he might have a serious illness.

Feng Fei was stunned and a little dumbfounded: "Ms. Lin Jin?"

This……

Feng Fei looked hesitantly between the two of them, and neither of their expressions looked fake.

"Okay, this is our family affair. You, a man outsider, should stay away from my sister. Otherwise, if it gets out and ruins my sister's reputation, I won't forgive you." Liu Zhengqing's face twitched.

The corner of his eye fell on the small part of Lin Jin's leg between his trouser legs and the mud, and he blocked Lin Jin a little more tightly: "Are you still not leaving?"

Lin Jin thought Liu Zhengqing was angry about being scolded, so she poked Liu Zhengqing on the back and said, "Okay, it's just a misunderstanding, don't be angry."

Feng Fei hesitated for a moment and said, "Ms. Lin Jin, if you are being bullied, you can just speak up. There are so many of us, and we can't do anything to a weak scholar like him."

"No, no, I really wasn't bullied. This is really something I like. I... I have been interested in farming since I was a child." Lin Jin said against his conscience, just wanting to get rid of Feng Fei as soon as possible.
