Chapter 648 Physical and Mental Training
Compared to Abigail, Sean had become much lazier. Having experienced hardships, she did not feel much
exhausted in this situation. The man, however, had never dealt with these practical household chores before. Being
assigned by Alice, he thought his days were completely miserable. The only time he could relax was when Alice was
absent.
“Let’s go!” Abigail pulled him, afraid that Alice would get angry if she came back. Despite Alice’s gentle and
humorous demeanor, she took all the tasks seriously.
Reluctantly, Sean allowed himself to be yanked up. As soon as he stood up, he forcefully grabbed her hand and
pulled her into his arms.
Crashing into his embrace, she stared at him wide-eyed. “What are you doing?”

“Alice will be angry if she sees no water. We’re asking for her help now. Can’t you be more sincere?!” She looked at
him solemnly.
“Well, you’re right. Let’s go.” He grabbed her shoulder helplessly.
The two worked for half an hour and finally filled Alice’s water tank. Sure enough, as soon as they finished, Alice
returned carrying a basket of things.
Abigail saw herbs and some unfamiliar items in the basket. When Alice entered the backyard and saw the full water
tank, she nodded in satisfaction.
“After lunch, I’ll take you to a place,” she said, sitting on a small stool in the yard while tidying up the things in the
basket and talking to the couple, with Abigail responding.
“Alice, I want to connect a well to your house. What do you think?” Sean asked her.
Her hand paused, and she looked up at him. “Tired of fetching water already?”
“No!” he immediately retorted. Her attitude was gentle, but he felt like he was being warned.
“No need to say anything. If there’s not enough water, just buy more barrels. Why bother with connecting pipes?
Creating noise and pollution?” she grumbled.
Abigail understood that Alice wanted them to exercise more. She held Sean’s hand and stopped him from trying to
persuade Alice. “Alice is right. After we finish our tasks, let’s go and ask where we can buy some barrels.”
“That’s right. Why exert so much effort when you’re young and strong?” Alice stated, putting the sorted herbs in a
woven bamboo basket.
Sean estimated that even if he bought two more barrels, he and Abigail would still have to consider fetching water
every other day. Thinking about this, he could not help but sigh.
After lunch, Alice took them to an old man’s house.

There was a cobblestone path in front of his house, and Alice pointed to the path and said to Sean and Abigail,
“Tomorrow, you’ll help in the vegetable garden. Return 30 minutes early, then walk on this path for another 30 and
learn yoga from him.”
“Okay.” Abigail knew walking on cobblestones was a way to maintain good health. Some parks in big cities had
paths like this for white-collar workers to walk on after work.
Sean nodded in agreement.
“After dinner, come here and walk for an hour, then do yoga with him again,” Alice continued.
“Okay,” Abigail immediately responded.
“Alright, go buy the tanks now. Remember, take good care of the vegetable garden. If the vegetables die, you’ll only
eat radishes and pickled vegetables in the winter,” Alice said, then hunched and left.
Abigail and Sean bid her farewell and turned back to greet the energetic old man wearing a white outfit.
“Sir, what’s your name?” Sean-spoke first.
