Chapter 56
Hearing her words, Janie was speechless.
She looked at the baskets of potatoes she had dug up and remained silent.
[This is just… I don’t think Emily is suited to be on reality shows.]
[Even though Janie seems idle, she digs up just as much as anyone else.]
Noticing Janie’s silence, Emily felt triumphant and continued, “Why don’t you join us, Janie? This job isn’t suitable for girls like us.”
Her words made Janic frown. She looked at Emily and said, “Why isn’t it suitable for girls? Just because you’re lazy doesn’t mean you can drag all girls into it. Girls are diligent and brave.”
Hearing her words, Emily stiffened and replied, “That’s not what I meant. I just think that you might as well join us since you’re not really trying. Plus, Jackson is doing great anyway…”
“I’m not working hard enough?” Janie asked with a blank expression. “How do you know I haven’t been working hard?”
Emily chuckled and replied, “I don’t mean to badmouth you, but you really don’t look like you’re putting in much effort.”
Janie frowned slightly and said, “Isn’t it because you’ve been holding an umbrella that is blocking your view?”
Emily’s smile stiffened when she heard Janie’s words.
Janie raised her head and continued, “I dug all those over there.”
As Xena and Emily looked over, they froze
on the
spot.
[Gosh, what does she mean by it’s not suitable for girls? Janie and Molly are just fine. Meanwhile, they do nothing yet act so self–righteous. Stop stereotyping girls!]
[I like how sarcastic Janie is by saying that the umbrella is blocking their view.]
On the other hand, Janie pretended to sigh and said, “I’m clearly working so hard, yet I’m being slandered by someone who does nothing. That’s just wrong.”
“Janie, that’s not what I meant…” Emily said stiffly.
Janie continued, “Jackson did a great job and told me to rest well. However, I couldn’t really just sit back and do nothing. The least I can do is help out a little. As for joining you guys, I don’t think we have much in common, so let’s just forget about it.”
Emily stayed silent since she wanted to end the conversation as soon as possible.
Plus, she was at a loss for words too.

On the other hand, Xena lowered her head and remained silent.
She wondered if Janie was deliberately undermining her, saying that she was enjoying herself while the latter cared for her brother.
Janie looked at Emily with a frown and said, “I’m curious. Xena isn’t doing anything since she has her brothers to help her. What about you? Where are your potatoes?”
“I… I’m not good at digging…” Emily said stiffly.

Hearing her answer, Janie nodded and looked confused. “I didn’t know that digging potatoes is a skill. Still, not knowing how to dig and not digging at all seem like two different things.”
Then, she smiled and said, “Well, this skilled worker needs to get back to work. You guys can keep charting?
[I swear I love the way Janic speaks. She sounds so gentle, yet her words hit so hard! How I wished Janie could help me out when I argue with someone next time.]
I love how sarcastic Janie is. Xena and Emily had indeed gone a bit too far. It’s clear that Ryan and Zion work so hard not just because of their competition with Jackson but also because they have to carry the burden of Xena and Emily. I’m literally crying!]
[Digging potatoes is a skill. If that’s the case, I’m also a skilled worker like Janie.]
Janie left without hesitation as she headed toward Jackson, who was vigorously digging potatoes.
Jason felt awkward and realized he couldn’t stay idle with these two anymore. Otherwise, he would get scolded too.
