Chapter 15 Meanwhile … When Ashley and the others returned , they were utterly exhausted , both physically and mentally .
But as soon as they stepped into the yard , they saw Lucy and the others chatting and laughing , leisurely weaving something They were instantly furious .
Why do these guys look so relaxed Parker , seeing them walk in with eggs and vegetables while looking drained , raised an eyebrow and said , is this all you managed to get after a whole afternoon ? Ashley immediately shot back , So , did you guys get a lot ? That shouldnt be possible .
They had visited dozens of households all afternoon and hadnt encountered the others at all .
During the live stream , they had even joked about whether Parker and the others were so pampered that they never even left the yard , Now , it seemed they had guessed correctly Parker smirked , We didnt trade anything .
We just settled dinner , thats all .
How is that possible ? Ashley questioned .
If you didnt trade anything , what are you having for dinner ? Parker leaned back , lazily smiling .
Because we have a lucky star on our team , so we just coasted through .
As he spoke , he subtly glanced at Lucy .
Hearing this .

Ashley and the others were puzzled Gracie feh a sinking feeling in her heart Relying on Lucy to coast through ? How could that be ? y invited us to dinner tonight .
And why was Parker always so kind to Lucy ? Parker smugly swung his legs and said , Lucy fixed the village committees tractor , so the village secretary Gracie immediately shot a disbelieving look at Lucy .
Ashley also looked at her in surprise , You can fix tractors ? How come I didnt know that ? There are a lot of things you dont know .
Is that strange ? Lucy responded calmly , raising her eyes .
Ashley was instantly at a loss for words .
He felt more and more that he didnt understand his own sister .
The thought that she kept things from him made him uncomfortable Youre really something , arent you ? he said through gritted teeth , his tone laced with sarcasm .
Thank you for the compliment .
Feel free to praise me more , Lucy replied without a hint of modesty After all , I am pretty amazing Ashley Watching Ashleys face twist in anger , Parker burst out laughing .
Hahaha ..
In the live stream , Ashleys fans were cursing Lucy , calling her arrogant and rude to her senior .
But many were also laughing , praising Lucy for being straightforward and interesting could After all , it was Ashley who started with the sarcastic remarks , so who could really blame her ? Not far away , Cohen watched the scene silently , feeling that Lucy had changed .
She used to be considerate of family ties and treated Ashley well , but now she didnt care at all and treated him like an annoying stranger .
If she was like this with her own brother , what about him ? Did she also consider him an annoying stranger ? A strange sense of unease and frustration began to grow in Cohens heart .
He offered Ashley an out , Lets go back to the room and rest , Ashley took the opportunity and left , but instead of going to his own room , he headed to Gracies Gracie , hows your foot ? Does it still hurt ? It hurts … Gracie replied pitifully .
Before coming , Michal had told her to interact with Ashley as usual , showing off their close sibling bond So she didnt hold back at all .
Ashley knelt down , his heart aching for her , Let me massage it for you As he spoke , he took off Gracies shoe and started to massage her foot Gracie hugged him affectionately , resting her head on his shoulder , and said sweetly , Youre the best , brother ! Sasha , who was massaging her own shoulders nearby , watched this scene and felt a pang of jealousy and resentment .
Seeing how close they were , she couldnt shake a strange feeling .
Wasnt this … a bit too intimate ? In the live stream , fans of the sibling pair kept praising them , calling them the perfect brother and sister , with a warm hearted brother and a sweet sister .
But some viewers raised concerns that their actions were a bit too intimate .
However , since they were siblings , no one really thought too much of it .
In the yard … Lucy finished the final steps , producing a beautiful storage basket .
The other three couldnt help but groan in admiration .
Lucy , youre amazing ! I cant even begin to learn this ! Demi exclaimed .
People like me who are all thumbs shouldnt even try , Mel said , shaking her head at the mess in her hands .
Parker added , Looks like Im not just a disaster in the kitchen but at weaving too .
Its not your fault , Lucy said with a smile .
I learned this before , so thats why I can do it well .
She placed the basket on the table , next to another one .
Now there are two .
Lets put one in each room to hold our daily essentials .
Great ideal Demi said happily .
7 was wondering where to put all my skincare products ! We get one too ? Mel asked in surprise Of course .
Lucy said .

Parker chuckled , Well, we wont say no to that .

Lucy Ill make a few more storage baskets to hold clothes later .
Tomorrow , were scheduled to help pick peaches , so Ill wea said .
the straw for your you ! Thank you , Lucy Demi said .
I cant weave , but I can sort th We can help too , Parker and Mel said , smiling .
The yard was filled with laughter and joy as storage baskets and straw hats were created one by one under Lucys hands .
The live stream was filled with praise , with viewers complimenting Lucy on her skills and her thoughtful , generous nature .
After finishing another basket , a little boy ran in Sister Shen ! My parents asked me to call you all over for dinner ! The boy was the youngest son of the village secretary , whom they had met while fixing the tractor , Lucy and her group put down their weaving and followed him to the village secretarys house .
The village secretarys wife and mother were still cooking , so Lucy and the others politely offered to help with washing and cutting vegetables , but they were refused 50 So they didnt insist and instead sat down to chat with the village secretary .
Soon , sir dishes and a soup were served .
Although they werent anything fancy , they s y smelled good , were generously portioned , and were clearly made with care .
The four of them didnt mind at all and started eating with relish , praising the food as they ate , creating a very pleasant atmosphere .
After the meal , they thanked their hosts and returned to the yard with four steaming hot dishes to give to the production team .
As agreed , the production team exchanged the dishes for four sets of bedding Meanwhile , the other team was still busy in the kitchen , causing a chaotic scene .
Gracie had mentioned during the live stream that she had practiced cooking specifically for this show .
So , she was in charge of cooking while the others helped out .
Looking at the small cluttered kitchen , Gracie felt a bit disgusted , but she had to pretend everything was fine as she cooked over the earthen stove The fast dish was completely burnt , blackened beyond recognition .
While cooking the second dish , she added the ingredients too forcefully , splashing hot oil onto her hand .
Her eyes immediately welled up with tears .
Gracie , does it hurt ? Maybe you should stop ! Ashley said , deeply concerned .
Gracie didnt want to continue either , but if she quit now , she wouldnt gain any fans , so she had to keep up her delicate and resilient persona Brother , Tm fine , she said with a weak smile .
If I dont finish , you wont get new bedding .
No matter how much it hurts , I keep going Her words moved Ashley and Cohen deeply Sasha , on the other hand , secretly rolled her eyes , thinking it was all just an over the top act .
No , youre hurt .
You need to apply some ointment first , Ashley said , just as they he heard voices outside .
Lucy and her group had returned .
Ashleys face darkened as he walked out , habitually ordering , Lucy , come help us cook three dishes .
At his words , everyone turned to look at him .
Their eyes were filled with surprise .
Why did Ashley sound so self righteous ? Were he and Lucy really that close ?
