During the day, Lu Heng was almost entirely ignored by his wife. Now, as he watched Lin Nannan, who was so caught up in the excitement that she had even forgotten to tend to the fields, he found himself both amused and helpless. He asked with a slight smile, “What do you think?”

He knew his wife was someone who played dumb while actually being sharp. He enjoyed seeing her display her intelligence.

Lin Nannan thought seriously for a moment before responding, “If my guess is correct, his identity was already problematic. To avoid being tracked down, he married someone from the village as a cover…”

“Hmm, go on.”

Glancing at him, Lin Nannan continued, “I heard people say that Han Li has been in the village for nearly thirty years, keeping everything under wraps all this time. Now, he’s suddenly been arrested. I think it has something to do with He Ye’s capture.”

Lu Heng agreed, “They might have discovered something while interrogating He Ye, which led them to arrest Han Li.”

“So, does this mean that He Ye targeting you might be connected to Han Li?” she speculated.

“Possibly. Once the investigation is complete, the village will be given an explanation. They wouldn’t just arrest someone without following up,” Lu Heng explained.

Lin Nannan nodded and sighed, “If you don’t leave people a way out, you’ll only end up suffering yourself. Tsk!”

Her expression made Lu Heng chuckle. Thinking about how he had been ignored for days, he lowered his voice and said, “Help me turn over.”

Even though she had ignored him during the day, Lin Nannan still helped him turn over at night. So now, the moment he asked, she instinctively did it, moving with practiced ease.

After finishing, she suddenly remembered something she had forgotten. Slapping her forehead, she said anxiously, “I haven’t planted my seeds yet! I need to go now!”

With that, she was about to rush out, but Lu Heng stopped her.

Feeling as if he was less important than a piece of farmland, Lu Heng sighed silently and said softly, “You’ll still have time even if you go now, just don’t wear yourself out.”

“I know! But first, I need to get A’Yuan and A’Ming back. Those two are so caught up in the excitement that they’ve completely forgotten to work!” Lin Nannan gritted her teeth, completely unaware that she was doing the same thing just moments ago.

Seeing how well she got along with his family, Lu Heng felt a sense of relief.

If his family treated her well, then she probably wouldn’t think about leaving.

The once empty house now felt livelier with her presence. Even the occasional chatter made it feel more like home. He felt like a thief, wanting to keep this warmth all to himself…

…

Lin Nannan dragged two slackers out of the crowd and hurried off to plant the seeds.

The rest of the villagers laughed and made a few teasing remarks but didn’t pay much attention to it.

The Lu family, however, reacted differently. Grandma Lu asked Zhang Xiaofeng, “What kind of seeds did you give Nannan?”

Zhang Xiaofeng shook her head. “None! She never mentioned anything about it to me.”

“Then did you give them to her?” Grandma Lu turned to her second daughter-in-law, only to receive another shake of the head.

Now, Zhang Xiaofeng was getting anxious. She said to Grandma Lu, “We don’t even know what she’s planting. I need to go check!”

Grandma Lu stopped her and said, “If Nannan doesn’t want to say, then don’t ask. She already made it clear before that she’ll handle these two acres of land however she wants.”

“Oh, alright, I understand,” Zhang Xiaofeng was momentarily stunned before nodding in agreement.

…

Lin Nannan took out seeds from her storage space and handed them to Lu Yuan and Lu Ming. After giving them some instructions, she began planting herself.

If she weren’t worried about attracting suspicion, she would have simply scattered them all at once and let them grow on their own.

These seeds had been carefully cultivated with all their effort. As long as the land was fertile and unpolluted, the harvest would be unimaginable.

As she busily planted, her mind wandered in all sorts of directions. By the time Zhang Xiaofeng arrived, she had already completed more than half of the work.
