With this thought, the woman regained her confidence and lowered her head to use the tip of her tongue to unbutton the last button of Shen Wuqiu's pajamas.
The woman found the pajamas too cumbersome; the buttons were too small and numerous, making them difficult to pick up. She decided to use her claws to give this eyesore a good thrashing tomorrow.
His pajamas were completely pulled open, and his exposed chest and abdomen felt the chill. Instinctively, he wanted to move closer to a source of warmth, so he rolled over and hugged the woman next to him tightly.
The human-shaped body pillow in her arms was soft and comfortable, and it also gave off a faint fragrance. In her sleep, Shen Wuqiu subconsciously buried her head in the softest spot and rubbed against it, letting out a satisfied sigh as she did so...
Irritable.
what to do?
This human companion is so seductive...
The woman stared at Shen Wuqiu, who was snuggling against her, her face showing displeasure. She lowered her head and planted a heavy kiss on Shen Wuqiu's cheek, muttering to herself, "This lord must kiss you..."
...
Another night of tender intimacy.
After waking up, Shen Wuqiu reviewed her dream from the previous night as usual, and then, as usual, lifted the covers to check her clothes.
Practice makes perfect, and by the third time, aside from feeling puzzled, she wasn't as terrified or finding it unacceptable.
Standing in front of the mirror, she stared at her naked body, her consciousness still wandering in the dream from last night.
Who exactly is the woman in my dream?
Lost in thought, she inexplicably caught sight of the bright red cherry on her chest. Her face flushed instantly, and she raised her hand to her chest, pretending not to see it.
But the details of last night's dream rushed into her mind, and she could even remember every feeling the woman in the dream gave her.
Oh no!
That's absolutely terrible.
The lingering images in her mind made Shen Wuqiu despair and wonder: Could it really be because her prime years were approaching, and her body was starting to feel restless?
Does this mean I really need to find someone to sleep with?
Shen Yan?
Shen Wuqiu was startled by the thought that popped into her mind and quickly shook her head. As soon as she resisted the thought, her consciousness immediately shifted to another idea—actually, the feeling in the dream was not bad either.
Shen Wuqiu did not resist the thought that came to mind, but she had a subtle thought about herself—it turns out that what I like in my heart is actually a woman?
While it's not uncommon for women to like other women, in an environment where attraction between the sexes is common, acknowledging one's own attraction is no small matter.
However, Shen Wuqiu accepted it quickly, and even sighed inwardly: No wonder that over the years, she has been pursued by many men and boys, but she has never been moved. It turns out that she likes women in her heart.
Thinking about it this way, Shen Wuqiu's shame about having such an unspeakable dream lessened considerably.
After washing up, Shen Wuqiu remembered her cat.
There was still no sign of the white cat in the room. This had been the case for several days in a row, and Shen Wuqiu had gotten used to it. She picked up the pajamas that had fallen to the ground and noticed that they were covered in scratches, with white plastic buttons scattered on the floor.
Without even thinking, she knew it must be the white cat's doing.
But what grudge did these pajamas have against this little devil?
Looking at the "hopeless" pajamas, Shen Wuqiu was both amused and exasperated, and could only throw them into the trash can.
When Shen Wuqiu came downstairs, she was surprised to see her father sitting on the sofa watching TV. "Dad?"
"Get up." Father Shen remained as calm and unsmiling as ever. "Your Uncle Zheng has already arrived. After you finish eating, go with him to Xishan."
Uncle Zheng told her about this yesterday. Now that the land has been transferred to her, she will naturally be very busy this season.
"Yes, I know," Shen Wuqiu said as she headed towards the kitchen.
"Your aunt made millet porridge and some egg pancakes today. Just make do with these."
Having eaten noodles for breakfast for two mornings in a row, Shen Wuqiu was thinking of trying something different. "Have you eaten? Would you like me to get you some?"
“I’ve already eaten, no need.” Father Chen was still concerned about those lands. “The land on the slopes of Xishan is no longer fertile. I’ve been contracting it for so many years. In the early years, I used it to grow sweet potatoes. Later, when I contracted more land, I fermented it for a few years to make it fertile. Now, I heard from your Uncle Zheng that you have also agreed to use Xishan to grow tangerines.”
While listening to her father speak, Shen Wuqiu brought out some porridge and pancakes from the kitchen. Too lazy to go to the dining room, she placed them on the coffee table in the living room.
"I asked Shen Yan about planting bayberries in the fertile areas yesterday. If I plant bayberries, the village can transfer a batch of bayberry trees to me at a low price, and they will bear fruit next year. The sloping area is planted with tangerines, also taking this into consideration. Now everyone is advocating for planting on wasteland. Shen Yan said that we can also try to apply for tangerine tree seedlings. Furthermore, tangerines have a long shelf life and do not have strict requirements on the harvesting period, so they are reliable and stable."
Mr. Shen listened to her logical analysis and was very satisfied. "You've thought it all through, so go ahead and do it."
Shen Wuqiu nodded and lowered her head to drink her porridge.
After watching TV for a while, Mr. Chen seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, where's your cat? Why didn't it come downstairs with you?"
"I don't know where they've gone." Shen Wuqiu wasn't worried.
"She's only been here for a few days. What if she runs away and doesn't come back?"
"If she doesn't want to come back, she doesn't want to come back." Shen Wuqiu was still thinking about Hongyu from yesterday, and then she thought about the pajamas she had bought for a thousand silver dollars today, and she raged again. "That heartless thing, she knew to give a little gift after eating your dried fish, but when she comes to me, she only causes trouble."
Father Shen finally understood. Looking at Shen Wuqiu, he couldn't help but chuckle. "Qiuqiu, so you were so angry yesterday because of this?"
Shen Wuqiu refused to admit it: "Where was I angry?"
It was rare to see this side of her, so her father didn't argue with her and just looked at her with a smile.
Shen Wuqiu felt uncomfortable under his gaze and picked up her bowl, saying, "I'm done eating."
After saying that, she picked up the bowl and rushed to the kitchen. Just as she was at the door, Shen Wujun came over and asked, "Sister, where's the cat?"
Shen Wuqiu said irritably, "They ran away."
"Will you be back today too?"
"have no idea."
Shen Wujun stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "You said this cat runs away every night, could it be that it's gone out to meet wild cats? Sis, do you think she might have a litter of kittens in a few months?"
Shen Wuqiu paused in her washing of dishes. The thought of this possibility, and the memory of those ugly tabby cats she had seen that night, filled her with disgust. She wondered if she really should have the white cat spayed.

Chapter 16 Argument
After breakfast, Shen Wuqiu went to Xishan with Uncle Zheng.
On the Xishan side, Shen Xianghua was already directing two excavators to operate.
Seeing Shen Wuqiu approach, Shen Xianghua told the excavator to continue working and ran down to greet him.
“The pits for the osmanthus trees haven’t been filled yet, and we don’t know if you’ve chosen the bayberry tree species, so we’ll start working from there.”
Shen Wuqiu glanced at the nearest osmanthus tree pit. Lacking experience, she couldn't estimate the size of the pit needed for the bayberry seedlings the village had provided. She could only say, "Don't touch these osmanthus tree pits yet. I'll go to the village later. First, turn over the soil and remove the weeds. We'll plant them after it rains, though."
“That’s what I’m planning to do too.” Shen Xianghua said, walking forward and gesturing for Shen Wuqiu to follow.
Uncle Zheng and the others were sensible enough to know that the uncle and nephew had something to say, so they didn't follow them.
After distancing himself from the others, Shen Xianghua asked Shen Wuqiu in a low voice, "This land in Xishan has always been managed by your sister-in-law's second brother and his wife. Now that your father has asked Lao Zheng to help manage the orchard, what are your plans for them?"
The "second brother and his wife from my sister-in-law's family" that Shen Xianghua mentioned refers to Su Yunzhi's second brother, Su Weimin, and his wife.
Shen Wuqiu looked back and realized that Su Weimin was also there.
Since she came back, one thing after another has been happening, and she hasn't had time to think about these things yet.
Do they know anything about orchard planting?
Shen Xianghua didn't want to say it directly, so he smacked his lips before saying, "Over the years, the land your father has contracted, apart from the peach orchard he tried planting here in Xishan, has all been used to plant commercial trees. In the past, the couple was in charge of the fir trees in the Tieziling area. After selling a batch of tree seedlings, they didn't have to worry about those trees too much. Your father then handed over Xishan to them to manage. Over the years, the trees they raised haven't had any problems. As for whether they understand orchard planting, I don't know."
Shen Wuqiu thought for a moment, "I'll arrange their work later. For now, let Uncle Zheng and the others take the lead and plant the fruit trees first."
"Okay. I'm just mentioning this to you for no other reason than to be worried that since you've just taken over these things, the work arrangements might not be done properly, which could lead to unnecessary arguments."
Shen Wuqiu smiled and said, "I know you're doing this for my sake."
Seeing that his good intentions were not misunderstood as meddling, Shen Xianghua felt even more appreciative of Shen Wuqiu. "Your father has been just grabbing land all these years. He's exhausted, but he hasn't planned much of the land properly. My dear niece, we'll be counting on you from now on."
"I can't do it all by myself, I need my uncles and you all to help me out."
Everyone loves to hear flattery, and Shen Xianghua was very pleased with it. He patted his chest and assured Shen Wuqiu, "Don't worry, as long as I can help, I definitely won't hold you back."
Shen Wuqiu had previously worried that the elders in her clan would look down on her as a girl and make things difficult for her in these matters. Now it seems that she had been overthinking it, and her enthusiasm for farming and starting a business has also increased.
Shen Wuqiu spent the entire morning working alongside Uncle Zheng and the others in Xishan.
When it was time to eat, she took the food delivery lady's tricycle home.
Xishan is far from home, and it takes a lot of time to go back and forth. During busy times like this, Uncle Zheng and the others have meals delivered by a special person.
Knowing that she was coming home for dinner, Mr. Shen wouldn't allow Su Yunzhi and the others to start eating early, insisting on waiting until she got back before they ate.
Su Yunzhi was very dissatisfied with this, and sitting at the table, she started to speak sarcastically again, "It doesn't matter if we eat earlier or later, but your father is a patient, so it's better for him to eat three meals a day at regular times and in fixed quantities."
Even her father complained that she talked too much, saying, "You're the only one who talks too much all day long."
"What, can't I even say a few words now?" Su Yunzhi slammed the bowl and chopsticks down on the table, looking down at Shen Wuqiu with a slanted gaze. "It seems there's absolutely no place for me in this house."
Shen Wuqiu paid no attention to the meal, focusing only on eating. She quickly shoveled down a bowl of rice before looking up and saying, "I'm done eating."
She had spent so much time trying to reason with them, but they didn't say a word, finished their meal, and left. The more nonchalant they seemed, the angrier Su Yunzhi became. "Yeah, I'm not as lucky as some people who can live a life of ease without lifting a finger..."
Even Mr. Shen couldn't stand it anymore. He slammed his chopsticks heavily on the table. "Are you ever going to stop eating?"
Su Yunzhi wanted to say more, but Shen Wujun pulled her aside, saying, "Don't you want people to eat in peace?"
Shen Wujun's silence only fueled Su Yunzhi's anger at her "traitorous" son. "You heartless brat, all you do is eat and play games all day long. No wonder you're so useless..."
Meow~~
Just as Su Yunzhi was hurling her tantrums, the white cat, who had finally realized it was home, happily ran in from outside.
"All it does all day is meow, it's so annoying..." Su Yunzhi was already in a bad mood, and hearing the annoying meow only made her angrier. She grabbed a glass of water from the table and threw it at the cat...
