29: Chapter 29: Displaying One’s Complete Skill Set 29: Chapter 29: Displaying One’s Complete Skill Set Liu Hun became excited, “Good, really good, this is just too great. Then, Qin Yue sister, I... I’ll go back and discuss with my uncle first. Once he agrees, I’ll move all my things into the dilapidated temple to live there; to be honest, it would be more convenient.” Before Qin Yue could respond, Liu Hun had already run out of the temple. He had already obtained his answer; if he could put all the wasteland here to use, even if the profits were split fifty-fifty in the end, his income would still be several times that of others. Fen Ran watched as Liu Hun disappeared into the distance and immediately got up to sit next to Qin Yue. She knew Liu Hun was not an ordinary man and that he was someone with great ambitions, unlike others who were simply waiting for death. However, she coveted Liu Hun, and so did Qin Yue. “You don’t need to look at me like that, I know,” Qin Yue said. “In fact, you’ve been here for quite some time, just never showing yourself. Just now, the look on your face as you stood at the door with the basket, I knew you were eavesdropping on my conversation with Liu Hun.” Fen Ran looked at Qin Yue unhappily. Qin Yue chuckled, “You have the nerve to talk about me. What were you and Liu Hun doing here? If I hadn’t suddenly burst through the door and seen you applying medicine, who knows what others might have thought.” “Hmph, let me tell you, Qin Yue, you don’t need to talk to me like that. I know full well what’s in your heart,” Fen Ran immediately stood up, glaring angrily. “Do you know Liu Hun? He’s a man with big ambitions, destined to achieve greatness, and this I can see. I know you like Liu Hun, and I like him too. Since this is the case, why don’t we cooperate and give him a hand? As long as he becomes famous, we will ride his coattails to fame. This is our only chance!” This was the first time in many years she had spoken so seriously and the first time she had pleaded with Qin Yue. Because in her eyes, such a great opportunity had been given to Liu Hun, she did not want anyone to disturb him. Moreover, just the fact that Liu Hun was being treated at Qin Yue’s home made her very uncomfortable. As long as she could cooperate with Qin Yue, as long as she could get a grip on her, it would mean eliminating a rival. Qin Yue was stunned by Fen Ran’s words, and it took her a while to recover. “Alright then,” Qin Yue stood up and dusted off her trousers. “Since our beautiful Fen Ran has spoken, how could I refuse? Let’s help Liu Hun together.” Fen Ran exhaled, relieved that at least this person had agreed. If Liu Hun came to live in the temple and spent his days farming at Qin Yue’s home, there was a chance that Qin Yue might take advantage of him. Wouldn’t that be a huge loss? But, recalling how Qin Yue had just agreed with her, she could be at ease for a long while. The two chatted and laughed together inside the temple, as if they had buried the hatchet. Qin Yue got up, pushed open the temple door, and walked away before turning around. “Fen Ran, there’s something I’ve been keeping in my heart all this time. This time, I have to tell you. Some things can’t just be done because you say so. I, Qin Yue, am not as nice as you think. I have my desires, I have my loneliness, and I want to taste some tendon meat too,” she said. With these words, Qin Yue took a few steps forward and lightly smiled, “Who wouldn’t want to have a good taste? But it seems I’m even luckier than you.” “You!” Fen Ran clenched her teeth in frustration. Qin Yue giggled and then ran off. She hadn’t gone far when she suddenly stopped, “If only I hadn’t fallen ill earlier, who knows what might have happened with Liu Hun in my house... What a pity.” After returning home, Liu Hun had a good discussion with his uncle. With his uncle’s agreement, he moved everything he could into the dilapidated temple. Ever since Qin Yue’s husband, Big Hao, moved to the town for development, he hardly ever came back home. A piece of wasteland in the backyard lay fallow, uncultivated by anyone. “Would you like me to fetch you some water? It’s unnaturally hot today.” Seeing Liu Hun’s arrival, Qin Yue excitedly ran up to him. Liu Hun smiled, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely make this barren land yield a great harvest. But before that, we’ll have to wait a while.” “No problem, no problem. Whose crops haven’t needed a long wait?” Qin Yue immediately replied with a smile. The scorching sun shone down on the earth, and clumps of soil splattered with each forceful dig from Liu Hun’s efforts. Qin Yue helped at his side, wiping his sweat which drenched his entire body, causing the two mounds on his chest to sway left and right, attracting the gaze of passing villagers who couldn’t help but stop in their tracks. “Eh? Qin Yue, what are you doing here?” an old lady with a bent back heard the noise and hurriedly ran to the backyard. “Mother,” Qin Yue immediately stood up upon seeing the old lady and called out. The old lady was Qin Yue’s mother-in-law, Big Hao’s mother. As Qin Yue had not become pregnant, she had been constantly chided over the years. Big Hao’s mom glanced at Qin Yue’s chest. Her wet clothes revealed her voluptuous figure and slender waist, creating quite a spectacle that caused many people to drool. Big Hao’s mom pointed at Qin Yue’s chest, “Look at yourself, what have you become? You... are you trying to kill me? Don’t you know you are married? Don’t you know your surname is Big, that you belong to our family? You... you even brought Liu Hun here behind my back. If word gets out...” She was so angry that she almost collapsed to the ground before she had finished speaking, “I may have no face, but I still have my pride!” “That’s not the case!” Qin Yue suddenly became anxious, “I was just helping, I swear it’s just sweat, you can smell it if you don’t believe me! And yes, I did ask Liu Hun to come here, but he came to farm. We can’t just let our land remain uncultivated, right?” “Pah! It seems I haven’t disciplined you for too long!” Big Hao’s mom glared, “Now go and change your clothes!” Qin Yue felt wronged, full of resentment but unable to express it. Moreover, the damp sweat on her body was truly uncomfortable, and no one liked that feeling. Even if Big Hao’s mom hadn’t told her, she would have run back to the house to change her clothes anyway. Watching Qin Yue return to her room, Big Hao’s mom then fixed a stern look on Liu Hun, who was still tilling the soil, before slowly walking away. Qin Yue soon ran back out after changing her clothes. She knew her mother-in-law’s temperament all too well. If her mother-in-law caused trouble for Liu Hun, it would weigh heavily on her conscience. “Liu Hun, did you... did you see my mother-in-law just now?” Qin Yue asked because of the turmoil in her heart. Liu Hun scratched his head, “No, I’ve been busy plowing the whole time, haven’t seen her. What happened?”
