They quickly dropped their tools and rushed to help her.
However, they soon stopped since their hands were covered in mud, which would leave a mud print on Xena’s clothes.
Tears welled up in Xena’s eyes, and she looked pitiful.
“What are you two doing?” she asked.
Ryan and Zion also felt awkward. They were digging potatoes and didn’t expect Xena to suddenly appear.
Thinking about it, the duo subconsciously wanted to continue digging until they saw Jackson had already started moving the potatoes. Only then did they stop and breathed a sigh of relief.
“We’re sorry, Xena.” Zion apologized. “We didn’t do it on purpose. We didn’t expect you to suddenly touch us.”
Xena stiffened and looked at Zion in disbelief. “Are you blaming me right now?”
Zion frowned and replied, “That’s not it. Let me see if you got hurt anywhere.”
Xena immediately swatted his hand away and said, “I know I’m in the way. I’ll leave now!”
Then, she stormed away.
[Ryan and Zion treated their sister like this. Hurry up andapologize!]
[Poor Xena. She came to help but got so wronged instead.]
[I’m confused. Are we watching the same show? Ryan and Zion didn’t seem to do anything wrong. They were just focused on working, yet Xena was throwing a tantrum. Even if they are siblings, her brothers don’t owe her anything.]
Ryan and Zion didn’t know what to do, but they sighed a relief when they saw Xena running so swiftly. After all, this meant she wasn’t hurt.
Then, they prepared to move the potatoes.
They didn’t want to lose to Jackson.
They could lose to anyone, but definitely not Jackson!
“Xena!” Emily exclaimed.
“I’m going after her,” she said anxiously.
Before Ryan and Zion could respond, Emily ran after Xena.
Only then did Ryan and Zion notice Emily. However, they frowned upon seeing her.
They wondered if Emily hadn’t dug up a single potato and was planning to freeload off them again.
However, they had no time to worry about Emily now.
‘Let’s quickly move the potatoes!‘ Ryan said in frustration.
Jackson had already moved a lot; they couldn’t lose to him, especially in front of Janie!
Zion nodded.

Chapter 58
Ryan and Zion are serious about the potatoes. They didn’t even care about their sister, is this what being career–focused looks like?!
Yes, career–focused potato brains)
Jackson and David were full of energy as they moved the potatoes while enjoying the show.
Janie was also watching intently
Before long, Xena ran to Jamie’s side,
She looked at Jante pitifully before started crying against a tree miserably.
One would be heartbroken to hear her cry, but not Janie,
Janie only had a blank expression on her face,
When she saw Emily running toward their way, she was speechless.
Then, she stood up and quietly moved to another spot.
“Janie!”
Hearing, Emily’s voice, Janie quickened her pace.
Seeing her reaction, Emily was at a loss for words,
Still, she quickly dashed to Janie’s side.
Looking at her, Janie rolled her eyes inwardly.
“Janic, could you please help comfort Xena?” Emily asked carefully.
“No,” Janic replied without hesitation.
Hearing her answer, Emily was speechless.
Then, she continued, “Xena has been crying nonstop, and I’m really out of options here…”
“So?” Janie cut her off impatiently. “Is finding me helpful? Will she stop crying if I say something? If not, please stop bothering me.”
[Poor Xena. I thought Ryan and Zion like to act as a loving brother. Are potatoes more important than their sister?]
[Of course. They didn’t do anything wrong either. The potatoes are part of their tasks. It is to ensure they can have a proper meal. That’s professionalism for the sake of the program!]
[Janie is so cold–hearted. No matter how beautiful she is, I still don’t like her.]
[Stop joking. She doesn’t need a fan who is a fool.]
On the other hand, Janie continued, “It’s none of my business that she’s crying. If you want to comfort her, do it yourself. If not, go and dig some potatoes. If I’m not mistaken, you haven’t dug a single potato, right?”
Hearing her words, Emily froze on the spot.
She didn’t expect Janie to bring up this issue.
“L… I haven’t…” Emily mumbled. “It’s just that I can’t bear to see Xena cry. We’re all friends. Why be so cold?”

Chapter 58
“If you can’t stand her crying, you can either stop her or walk away. I can’t help you with this. Instead, you should dig up some potatoes.”
Emily gritted her teeth and said, “I just wanted to ask for your help. Why do you have to be so aggressive?”
Janie was surprised by her words. “Digging potatoes is part of the show. How am I being aggressive when I am just asking you to dig some potatoes? Emily, I’ve never been able to understand you. Xena doesn’t need to do anything because her brothers are willing to let her be. However, how come you don’t have to do anything either? Are you planning to freeload us again?”
Then, she paused for a moment before saying, “It’s not easy for others to dig potatoes. You shouldn’t take things for granted.”
Emily’s face darkened after hearing her words.
Initially, she wanted to label Janie as a heartless person, but it backfired completely.
“1…”
Janie felt happy after saying what she wanted. Then, she waved Emily off and said, “That’s enough. Whether you comfort Xena or dig potatoes is your choice.”
