“Where have you been these past two days? You’re always appearing and disappearing like a ghost,” Lindsey Wolfe frowned.

Greg Jensen said with a silly smile, “I haven’t been up to much, just catching fish in the river to sell to Director Xia.”

Lindsey Wolfe glared at him and said, ” Where can’t Director Xia buy fish? She buys your fish only because she thinks you’re a simpleton. You shouldn’t catch fish anymore, it’s an unnecessary burden to her.”

“Mmm.”

Greg Jensen agreed readily with his mouth, but internally he was chuckling to himself.

His kind of fish was indeed hard to find, and even if Lois Abbott could find it, she wouldn’t dare eat someone else’s.

“By the way, they’re going to raise the roof beams for the house these next two days. You should hurry back and help out.”

“Okay.”

Greg Jensen smiled and walked out of the vegetable store.

Amber Hall sat on the side, looking at Greg Jensen’s broad back, her beautiful eyes full of spring, she mused, “Has Greg gotten even more robust?”

“I don’t think so?”

Lindsey Wolfe also looked up and glanced, her eyes filled with an indescribable sentiment.

“Oh dear, it looks like it’s going to rain outside. I just remembered that the windows at home might be open. Freya, you keep an eye on the shop, I’ll go home and close the windows.”

“Sure, go ahead. I’ll go back too when there’s no one else here later.”

“Okay…”

Amber Hall smiled, pretending to be casual as she walked outside.

Once she left the vegetable store, her pace quickened as she chased after Greg Jensen.

Seeing that the sky was turning bad, Greg Jensen didn’t take the main road but took a shortcut, hoping to get back to Peach Blossom Village quickly.

He hadn’t gone far when he heard footsteps from behind.

Then, Amber Hall came running over, panting.

Seeing Greg Jensen just ahead, she slowed down, her face brightened with joy, and she said with a smile, “Silly Greg, were you waiting for me?”

“No… no, I wasn’t.”

Greg Jensen forced a smile and involuntarily took a step back.

Amber Hall didn’t care about that, she walked quickly up to him and wrapped his arm around her.

Greg Jensen’s body shivered as he felt the softness transmitted from his arm, and a flame suddenly rose in his heart.

“Si… Sister-in-law…”

“Shh, don’t talk.”

Amber Hall, seeing no one around, pulled Greg Jensen into the nearby cornfield.

By the time Greg Jensen realized what was happening, Amber Hall had already kissed him.

“Not here…”

The cornfield they were in wasn’t far from a small path next to it.

Although that path was not frequently used, it was still outside.

Greg Jensen wanted to refuse, but Amber Hall was insistent, displaying the charm of a mature woman to its fullest.

After several temptations, Greg Jensen finally succumbed.

They didn’t know how much time had passed when suddenly they heard footsteps and voices in the distance, and the two in the cornfield froze.

“Uncle, Greg came back today.”

“That rascal, he still knows to come back. He must have been up to no good in the mountains.”

The two of them peered through the cornstalks and saw Lindsey Wolfe pushing a tricycle, chatting with Uncle as they walked from a distance.

Greg Jensen’s heart suddenly leaped, tense and motionless.

But Widow Hall just kissed him on the face with a giggle.

Greg Jensen, suppressing the irritation in his heart, glared fiercely at Amber Hall, signaling her not to move. But she simply didn’t listen.

Lindsey Wolfe, pushing the tricycle and chatting with Uncle, had no idea that just two meters from her in the cornfield, two people were lying down.

Only after watching Lindsey Wolfe walk away did Greg Jensen let out a sigh of relief and said angrily, “Have you gone mad? Didn’t you see Uncle and the others right next to us?”

“What’s there to be afraid of, they didn’t find out, did they?”

Amber Hall put on her clothes with a look of satisfaction and, looking up at Greg Jensen’s solid chest, dreamily smiled and asked, “Coming to my place tonight?”

“Go to hell!”

Greg Jensen glared at her annoyedly and walked home after getting dressed.

“Tsk, pull up your pants and forget who I am.”

Amber muttered discontentedly, but thinking of the scene that had just unfolded, a smile crept back onto her face.

She looked in the direction Greg had left, cheerfully saying to herself, “Sooner or later, you won’t be able to live without me.”

At this moment, Greg was also feeling somewhat helpless.

Amber, that woman, was just too formidable. Even with some experience under his belt, he still couldn’t resist.

The tricks known only to experienced women truly are young people’s assassins.

Not just Greg, but even a seasoned veteran might not be able to withstand them.

Greg felt a bit guilty about Lois Abbott, but on second thought, he figured it wasn’t a big deal.

Lois had long said she didn’t mind if Greg saw other women, she’d even once offered to find another woman for him.

No helping it, she just couldn’t handle Greg’s energy.

Probably if that girl found out about this, she wouldn’t get angry, but rather, she’d likely cheer.

Greg smiled bitterly, shaking his head. When he looked up, he realized he’d already arrived home.

He pushed open the door, only to see Lindsey Wolfe looking at him coldly. “Where have you been again?”

“I… I went to help Lois catch fish,” Greg blurted out a lie on the spur of the moment.

Lindsey Wolfe was taken aback, surprised she asked, “Lois is here? Where is she?”

“She’s already left.”

Greg had an idea and said, “Lois said she’s going to take me to see a doctor in a while. Auntie, I’m not sick.”

Lindsey Wolfe was startled again, but soon caught on and smiled gently, “Yes, Greg is very healthy, he’s not sick.”

After saying that, she couldn’t help but express her feelings, “Lois is really my benefactor. She’s been helping me make money, and now she wants to take Greg to the doctor…”

Seeing this, Greg quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

He’d managed to bluff his way through.

But indeed, he was planning to have Lois take him to “see the doctor,” so later he could explain to Lindsey why he had become smarter.

“Greg, you haven’t visited our house yet, have you?”

Out of the blue, Lindsey stood up, smiling, “Come on, I’ll take you to see our new home.”

As she spoke, she looped her arm through Greg’s and walked toward the next yard over.

The evening breeze blew gently, carrying wafts of fragrance to their noses.

Greg smelled her scent and couldn’t help but feel a stir of desire.

“What do you think? It’s going up quickly, isn’t it?” Lindsey suddenly said.

Greg, puzzled, looked up only to discover that the foundation of his house had already been laid, and they were now preparing to set up the wooden pillars. Peach Blossom Village was poor, but there was no shortage of timber resources. So, when the villagers built houses, they generally used wood for the beams and columns instead of concrete and steel.

The previous beams and columns had all been burned and couldn’t be reused. This time, the wood had been bought from the town by Uncle Er.

It was a semi-idle season for farming, so there were plenty of able-bodied workers in the village. Plus, Lindsey had made quite a bit of money in the past two months, hence the rapid progress in building the house.

Therefore, in just half a month, the construction had already taken shape.

Greg and Lindsey would soon be moving into their new, spacious, and bright home.
