Chapitre 316: Chapter 165 Night Battle_1

Lian Manman found herself in an odd mix of laughter and tears, thinking that Lady He really knew how to exploit a loophole, although she wasn't sure if Lady Zhou would indulge her.

"You don't want to pick the beans anymore?" Lady Zhou asked. She didn't even lift her head, her hands moving quickly and accurately through the beans.

"Mother, didn't you ask Manman to come pick them? Then why bother doing it again?" Lady He said.

"Fine. Then stop picking beans," Lady Zhou said, after she finished picking a handful of beans, finally looking up, "Go tidy up the bundles of firewood at the main gate."

"What?" Lady He was clearly surprised, "Mother, that's like more than ten bundles of firewood..."

"Seventeen bundles," Lady Zhou clarified, "Have them tidied up before lunch. In the afternoon, pick up another ten."

Lian Manman chuckled to herself; Lady He wanted an easy job, but unfortunately, Lady Zhou was not going to indulge her like she did Lian Xiuxiu. Now she had hit a snag.
