Xia Yangyang ran back into the house, only to find that her grandmother wasn’t there.

She didn’t know where her grandmother had gone, but she returned after a while.

“Grandma, where did you go?”

“I asked Ah Chen to wash the dishes and fetch water, to fill up the big vat in the kitchen.”

Xia Yangyang finally couldn’t hold it in anymore: “Grandma!”

The old woman glanced at her: “Look at you, so concerned. It’s good to make men do more work. Then he’ll know how to cherish his wife, and you’re not allowed to help him.”

Xia Yangyang felt infuriated: “Grandma, how could you do this.”

After saying it, Xia Yangyang ran out in a huff.

The old woman, however, had a trace of smile at the corner of her mouth.

After Xia Yangyang rushed out, she indeed found Gu Qichen fetching water at the well.

Although it was rural here, they already had running water and electricity.

But it had been freezing lately.

The water pipes in the house had frozen into ice, and water couldn’t come out at all.

However, each household in the countryside has a well in its yard.

Plus, the well water is warm in winter and cool in summer, so it’s used for washing dishes and clothing.

Most kitchens also have a big vat used for storing water.

While eating earlier, Xia Yangyang noticed that there was barely any water left in the vat.

To fill it up, it would take dozens of bucketfuls of water.

That meant Zhao Qichen would have to make dozens of trips, it would probably exhaust him.

Xia Yangyang rushed over, grabbed the bucket directly from Gu Qichen’s hands: “Stop fetching water! It’s late, come sleep with me.”

Gu Qichen chuckled, “It’s not a big deal for me, Yangyang. Don’t worry, go to sleep first.”

Her grandmother stood at the door, with a stern look on her face.

Gu Qichen glanced over, took the bucket back from Xia Yangyang, and whispered to her: “Alright, just let me show grandma some good things. Don’t worry, your husband isn’t that weak.”

So he continued to fetch water.

From afar, Xia Yangyang watched with a heavy heart.

Gu Qichen was indeed stubborn. Clearly, her grandmother was making things difficult for him, but he bore it.

But Xia Yangyang couldn’t persuade her grandmother to back down and she also couldn’t convince Gu Qichen.

After watching for a while, the grandmother said: “Once the vat is full, you can go to sleep. I’ve spread the quilts for you, I’m going to bed now.”

As soon as the grandmother entered the house, Xia Yangyang couldn’t wait to grab another bucket.

She started to fetch water along with Gu Qichen.

Gu Qichen was not pleased. He rolled up his sleeves and frowned: “You’re not allowed to fetch water, go inside and rest.”

Xia Yangyang said: “I’m as strong as you, don’t forget, I’m a fifth-degree black belt in taekwondo.”

“Still, you’re not allowed.”

“Why?”

“This isn’t a job for girls.”

“Stop dawdling, it’ll be faster if we both do it together, let’s have a competition.”

Gu Qichen looked at Xia Yangyang speechlessly: “Yangyang, if you do this, I’ll feel incompetent. My wife is not meant for the menial labours, never.”

Xia Yangyang:”…”

She really couldn’t get the mentality of a straight man.

Could fetching water injure the pride of this big CEO?

In the end, Xia Yangyang could only give up.

But still, she was worried and kept him company.

Xia Yangyang sat on the threshold, watching Gu Qichen going back and forth fetching water.

She felt this man was unlike anyone else, even while fetching water.

He always had a calm and noble demeanor, an elegant aura.

Every move he made, could be seen as a piece of art.

Xia Yangyang admitted that she was infatuated watching Gu Qichen fetch

water..
