Er Gou, life in the countryside is so carefree!

Zhang Qiaofen was carrying a thermos containing millet porridge she had cooked early in the morning, as well as freshly made scallion pancakes.

The atmosphere in the greenhouse instantly became subtle the moment she entered.

Three women, one drama.

One is an intellectual, aloof female PhD who has just broken down; the other is a feisty and bold young widow; and the other is a gentle and patient sister-in-law.

Chen Ergou felt cold sweat trickling down his back; this was more tiring than beating up ten thugs.

Zhang Qiaofen glanced at Chen Ergou, who was disheveled, then at Li Mei, who was blushing, and finally at Wang Cuihua, who had a defiant look on her face.

She knew exactly what was going on, but as the first wife, she had to maintain her composure.

"Since everyone's here, let's eat it while it's hot."

Zhang Qiaofen placed the thermos on the simple table, her tone calm yet exuding the air of a hostess:

"Cuihua's here too? Perfect timing, I cooked a lot, let's have a bite together. The work in this greenhouse is hard, we can't skip breakfast."

Wang Cuihua originally wanted to lash out, but looking at Zhang Qiaofen's calm demeanor, it felt like hitting cotton – futile.

"Alright, then I'll try Sister Qiaofen's cooking."

The three women sat down around a small table.

Chen Ergou sat in the middle, with his sister-in-law on his left, Li Mei on his right, and Wang Cuihua opposite him.

The meal was quite "lively".

"Commissioner Li, have another egg to nourish your body."

Wang Cuihua peeled an egg and forced it on Li Mei.

"Young people don't know how to restrain themselves, Er Gou, you don't even have a little chivalry."

"Thank you, Sister Cuihua..." Li Mei lowered her head and drank her porridge, not daring to reply.

"Ergou, try this pancake. Is the saltiness just right?"

Zhang Qiaofen placed a piece of cake in Er Gou's bowl, looking at him tenderly.

"You worked hard keeping watch last night, eat more."

Chen Ergou buried his head in his food, barely daring to breathe.

To break the awkward atmosphere, Chen Ergou suddenly remembered the neglected jade dragon melon.

"Um... Sister-in-law, Sister Cuihua, please don't just eat."

Chen Ergou, as if presenting a treasure, took the cucumber and placed it in the middle of the table:

"You guys should try this!"

"Isn't this just a cucumber?" Wang Cuihua said dismissively.

"He's quite handsome, like a jade carving. Is he edible?"

"Whether it's edible or not, you'll know once you try it."

Chen Ergou simply broke the cucumber into four pieces with his bare hands, and each person got a piece.

"Snap!"

The crisp sound rang out, and the rich aroma instantly overwhelmed the smell of the scallion pancake.

The three women sniffed at the same time.

"It smells so good..."

Zhang Qiaofen couldn't resist first and took a small bite.

Then, her eyes lit up.

"this……"

As the juice entered her stomach, she felt her lower back, which had been aching from overwork these past few days, suddenly warm up instantly.

A warm current flowed through my limbs and bones, making me feel several years younger!

"Delicious! So delicious! It's crisp and sweet!"

Wang Cuihua also took a bite, and then exclaimed in surprise:

"Oh my god! Er Gou, what's wrong with this cucumber? I feel like my face is all hot after taking a bite."

Li Mei, being an expert, adjusted her glasses after finishing her meal and said with a serious expression:

"It's not just about the taste; I feel it might contain a special bioactive enzyme that can be absorbed by the body very quickly and promote metabolism."

Simply put, this is a completely natural beauty and skincare product!

The moment they hear about beauty and skincare...

No matter what kind of personality a woman has, they are all united in their desire to become more beautiful.

"Ergou! How many cucumbers are left in this patch?"

Wang Cuihua grabbed Chen Ergou's arm, so excited that her nails dug into his flesh.

"Not many, just a dozen or so," Chen Ergou answered honestly.

"No way! This one's mine!"

Without saying a word, Wang Cuihua carefully held the remaining half of the cucumber in her arms.

"I'm going to take this home, slice it up, and use it as a face mask! It's so much better than a face mask that costs hundreds of yuan in the city!"

"Cuihua, this is what Er Gou wants to sell for money..." Although Zhang Qiaofen was also tempted, she still put the bigger picture first.

"Sister-in-law, these one or two won't sell for much money. It's only right to use them for our own family."

Chen Ergou felt a sense of relief when he saw that the three women had temporarily put aside their grudges over a cucumber.

This treasure is simply a magic weapon for maintaining harmony in the harem!

"Sister-in-law, Meizi, and Sister Cuihua."

Chen Ergou looked at them and said with great pride:

"This is just the first batch. Later, I want this entire greenhouse to be filled with these Emerald Dragon Gourds! Then you can eat them whenever you want, use them as a face mask, and even use them in your bath!"

"real?"

The three women asked in unison, their eyes sparkling.

"It has to be true!"

Chen Ergou patted his chest and guaranteed it.

Just as things were getting along well, Wang Cuihua suddenly remembered something, her eyes darted around, and she moved closer to Chen Ergou, nudging him with her shoulder:

"Ergou, since cucumbers are good for beauty, they must also be good for... male enhancement, right?"

Upon hearing this, both Li Mei and Zhang Qiaofen blushed.

Chen Ergou chuckled and gave the three women a meaningful look:

"I don't know if it's an aphrodisiac, but I do know that as long as I, Chen Ergou, eat this melon, I can cultivate as much land as I have in Xiushui Village. I guarantee I'll make sure all your fertile fields are lush and green!"

"Pah! Shameless!"

Although the three women were cursing, there was a clear hint of expectation and shyness in their eyes.

The greenhouse was filled with a joyful atmosphere, brimming with warmth and a hint of ambiguous, indescribable tension.

Chen Ergou was overjoyed to see this.

That's what you call skill!

Who else in the whole village, besides Chen Ergou, could bring these three women with such different personalities together without them fighting?

However, these happy times are always short-lived.

"Clang! Clang!"

A piercing gong suddenly rang out outside the shed, followed by a cacophony of voices and shouts.

"Stop! Stop it all! No construction allowed here!"

"Who gave you permission to farm here! You're damned! You're digging up our Zhao family's ancestral graves!"
