Chapter 399: Aunt Zhang's Help

Under the assistance of Aunt Zhang, Gu Zi, with a basket in hand, proceeded inward. Aunt Zhang followed closely behind, looking for ways she could lend a hand to Gu Zi.

Gu Zi gestured for Aunt Zhang to take a seat. There were small stools scattered around the courtyard. Setting her basket down, she picked up a hoe and continued to dig trenches in the soil. She planned to use these trenches to plant the seedlings. Three trenches were dug in a small patch of earth, each perfectly sized for the fennel, mint, and coriander she intended to plant.

Aunt Zhang watched her. Gu Zi was clad in a white shirt and blue casual pants. Her beautiful, seaweed-like hair was tied back with a band, and she wore a wide-brimmed straw hat. Underneath the hat was a stunning face that drew the gaze of those around her. Sweat from her digging had dampened her collar, adding a certain charm to her appearance.
