pieces of clothing were made from ordinary fabric, and paying three silvers was indeed a generous offer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That must have been something Auntie Wang struggled to secure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Auntie Wang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re all neighbors here, no need for thanks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was heading there anyway, just took the chance to pick it up for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Jin Zijin returned in the evening, Gu Youyou had finished making the underwear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The design was like modern briefs, a simple thing really—just a few cuts and some stitching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just that…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>making the front part comfortable to wear was a bit more troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Youyou’s cheeks tinted red as she stuffed the newly made undergarments into the quilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Zijin hadn’t brought back any game in his hands today, but he had brought some tender green wild vegetables, and…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a plum blossom branch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Youyou stared at the plum blossom for a long while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night before, in an effort to dodge any awkwardness, she mentioned it offhandedly during their conversation, so he went and picked this plum blossom for her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Auntie Wang had told Youyou that although the place looked close, it was actually quite a distance to walk, and it was down in a valley, necessitating a climb down a cliff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Zijin stepped forward and handed the plum blossom to Gu Youyou, saying, “It’s good that I went early, a few days later and the blossoms would have withered!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Youyou looked at the delicate and drippingly lush plum blossom for a long while, unable to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was so difficult to reach that place, but he managed to protect the flower so well!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claiming to be unmoved would be a lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter whether their relationship was genuine or fake, the kindness Jin Zijin had shown her over the past few months had been very real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Youyou seemed to understand why her modern-day cousin would give up her status as the heir to the Gu Family to choose to live forever in the mountains with that man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some tenderness cannot be given by men in the bustling city, no matter what.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were both born as the top heirs to the Gu Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What good things hadn’t they received since childhood?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With just a glance from them, men flocked to them like ducks, lining up for them to choose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet her cousin favored no one, choosing instead to abandon a fortune that the whole world envied to become a common mountain village wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Zijin!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Youyou truly wanted to tiptoe and kiss him on the face like an ordinary wife would, but she hesitated several times and just couldn’t bring herself to do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that she disliked his unkempt beard, it was mainly her thin skin, her timidity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I also have something to give you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uh…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she said this, Gu Youyou regretted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Couldn’t she have waited a bit later to give it to him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gives you a flower, and you hand him a pair of underwear in return—could it get any more bizarre?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Jin Zijin asked, it was too late for regrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Youyou bravely retrieved the briefs she had tucked under the quilt, and just as bravely handed them to Jin Zijin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here, these are the trousers I made for you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Youyou glanced up at him as she handed them over, only to see Jin Zijin unfold the so-called trousers and struggle to understand why Gu Youyou would make them so…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>short?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t until Jin Zijin noticed the intentionally different design at the front that he understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Youyou saw Jin Zijin’s face remain calm and collected, but the roots of his ears turned obviously red, almost rivaling the fragrance of the cold plum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew that at this moment, Jin Zijin must have had a thousand thoughts racing through his mind, yet he stubbornly kept a straight face, unsure whether to toss or keep the briefs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a standoff, Gu Youyou broke the silence first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zijin, aren’t you going to try them on?”\u003C\u002Fp>",699,"2026-06-06T06:54:47.693Z",1,"novelbin.me","ab9346e2d9004f6271481969e8816d28c9a59c738d07b5281ee43c2c527a701a","the-challenge-of-a-farmhouse-son-in-law-chapter-79","the-challenge-of-a-farmhouse-son-in-law-chapter-77",1812,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-challenge-of-a-farmhouse-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
