she didn’t have to toil in the fields.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her responsibility was to keep a close watch on the eligible bachelors and bachelorettes of the villages, to understand their situations, and to arrange matches at the right time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because she didn’t work in the fields, she disdainfully thought of those who did as dirty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took her time meandering along the half-meter-wide ridge before finally reaching the place where Gu Feng and the others were working.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a distance, matchmaker Zhang called out loudly, “Old Gu, you’ve been busy all afternoon, why not take a rest?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At your age, you shouldn’t overexert yourself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take care of your health!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Feng raised his head in the field and, looking towards the person on the ridge, responded loudly, “Hey!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m old now;

first, we’ll talk about Dabao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once that’s settled, then we can discuss Erya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hope you don’t mind me knocking on your door so often!”\u003C\u002Fp>",759,"2026-06-06T06:54:47.694Z",1,"novelbin.me","237678958ac44b54672a870887403f414780611f3298c58d12e4b03f4ade3d18","the-challenge-of-a-farmhouse-son-in-law-chapter-137","the-challenge-of-a-farmhouse-son-in-law-chapter-135",1812,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-challenge-of-a-farmhouse-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
