The arrival of Mu made Zheng Lin feel much more at ease. As expected, he would take turns to stay at the entrance of the village with other people in the village, and the time spent at home was greatly reduced. If no one was with Mangye, others would not be able to feel at ease outside.

After the arrangements of the clan leader and the elders of the clan, there were more than 240 families in the four Zheng villages, each of which was a laborer taking turns to be on duty. In the first round of distribution, Zheng Lin was assigned to night shifts and went out every day until the next day, until the hour of Mao.

It is mid-July now, the weather is hot during the day and the temperature is not low at night. I can’t stand the night and take a nap with a thin quilt, so I don’t have to worry about catching a cold. The only downside is that there are many mosquitoes in the wild. Even if I apply mosquito repellent powder all over my body, the exposed skin will still be bitten out by mosquitoes.

Although it was not particularly hard to be overwhelmed during the night, Sang Ye saw fatigue on Zheng Lin's face after five or six consecutive days. Whenever he returned home, he would ask about his well-being, busy boiling water for him and rub his back, trying to make him rest during the day.

At dawn every day, Zheng Lin just stepped into the yard when he saw Sang Ye carrying half a bucket of water into the shower room. He was so scared that he hurried over to take the bucket from her hand. He said with a bad face: "You will have a baby in less than a month. Can you do this kind of strength work?"

Sang Ye didn't expect to be seen by the man, and couldn't help feeling guilty and a little aggrieved: "It's because you're working so hard, I just want to do more for you. Besides, my body is very good, and I'm not tired at all by carrying half a bucket of water. Why are you going to attack me?"

Looking at the little woman whose voice was bigger than her, Zheng Lin was both heartbroken and helpless. He stepped forward and hugged her waist, which was almost unable to hold on, and softened his voice: "I feel sorry for you for my husband, and I don't allow you to have any trouble."

When Sang Ye heard this, he suddenly felt uncomfortable: "It's just a matter of half a bucket of water. Can I force my mother regardless of the child in my stomach?" Seeing that the man's face became bad again, she hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, there will be no next time before the child is born. Don't talk about it anymore, just like my mother."

It’s not that Sang Ye is so complaining. Since Mu lived in the Zheng family, he has kept her in the room for half an hour every day except for taking half an hour. He doesn’t let her take scissors and needles and threads, saying that doing so will be bad for the child.

Sang Ye naturally didn't believe this, but Mu stared at it tightly and put away the scissors and needles, which made her feel idle. Every day, she watched Duohuahutou and two little kids playing, or watched the fat group catch ants everywhere, and life was bland and boring.

Comparing his wife to mother-in-law, Zheng Lin was so amused and laughed: "Okay, as long as you are good, don't do anything randomly, I promise for my husband that I won't talk about you anymore."

Sang Ye hummed, as if he agreed.

After a while, Sang Ye helped Zheng Lin wash away the sweat and fatigue. The couple was about to go back to the room and have a good sleep. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a bang knock on the door came from outside the door, followed by an anxious shout: "Brother Lin, Brother Lin, a disaster victim came over and wanted to break through. Go and help!"

Zheng Lin's face changed, and he walked out in a big way while turning back to explain to Sang Ye: "For your husband, go and see the situation first. Lock the courtyard door and don't open it if anyone knocks on it."

Sang Ye understood the seriousness of the matter and knew that he could not stop him. He could only nod and reassure him: "Brother Lin, I understand. You must be careful and protect yourself."

Zheng Lin nodded heavily, then turned his head and ran out of the door quickly.
