At this remark, everyone's expression turned strangely awkward.

What followed was a burst of chuckles and suppressed laughter.

A former classmate from the countryside then said, "Song Tan, it seems like you're determined to stay single! Nowadays, no matter how tough someone is in the gym, if you ask them to harvest rice, they might not be up to it."

"Can't help it," Song Tan replied seriously, "We have to dig at Tea Mountain and knock chestnuts, and soon enough, we'll have to tend to Peach Garden… If I don't have the strength, what good am I keeping it for?"

In just a few words, the conversation shifted back to Peach Garden, chestnuts, and Tea Mountain, and everyone couldn't help but express their deep envy:

"Landlord… How blissful!"

It used to be that having a city residency was valuable, but now, if someone's family has a piece of land, it feels like they have something to rely on, always able to live that idyllic countryside life.
