Just transmigrated, and she was already forced into a substitute marriage. Leng Yue decisively acted, getting rid of the wicked woman, scumbag father, and vicious stepmother.
As she was about...
In the past, they would be content with just being able to live a decent life, let alone a good life.
Now, since our benefactors came, not only can we have enough food to eat, but every family also has surplus food.
If this trend continues, we will be living a good life soon.
They all nodded firmly, "Yes, live a good life, and it will be a good life in the future."
As the message passed from one to another, the atmosphere suddenly became better and everyone was very motivated.
After having breakfast together, Leng Yue, led by Wang Xiaohu, began to inspect the place where they used to farm.
The dog-like county magistrate's lackeys burned the place down to the ground, leaving nothing behind but a pitch-black scorched earth.
Every time the people see this, they cry and curse the corrupt officials.
This time it was no surprise. Just when they were cursing passionately, Leng Yue didn't think so, because cursing wouldn't solve the problem and it was just waste water.
"Okay, that's enough of talking, let's get together and clean up the big impurities, turn the soil, and start planting."
The women who had been crying the most happily just now stopped crying immediately, looked at the land, and then at Leng Yue.
They now wondered if they had heard it wrong. The benefactor said they wanted to farm, but it’s already the end of August or the beginning of September. What else can they farm?
Seeing that none of them moved, Leng Yue took the lead and started to clean up the floor.
When An Er saw that his wife had started to fight, he immediately pulled her aside.
"My lady, with us here, do you still need to do it yourself? Isn't that a slap in our faces?
You just need to give orders, I will do whatever you point me to, leave it here, let me do it."
As he spoke, An Er started to imitate Leng Yue's actions. When the women saw this, they realized that he was really going to farm and they didn't hear it wrong.
He immediately invited Leng Yue and An Er to rest next to the ground, "Just leave these dirty and tiring work to us, you are all people who can do great things."
Several women nearby also echoed, "Yes, as long as we can grow crops, it's worth it even if we die of exhaustion."
Wang Xiaohu pushed those people and said, "It's a great day, why are you talking about death? It's bad luck. Don't offend the lady."
Then he immediately turned around, put on a smiling face, and asked Leng Yue, "Madam, can crops really be grown on this land in this month?"
Before Leng Yue could speak, An Er was unhappy, "Wang Xiaohu, what are you talking about?
My wife has already said that if it is possible, then it can definitely be grown. Why are you still asking? If you have the time, you can already turn over two acres of land."
Leng Yue glared at An Er, and An Er immediately shut up obediently.
"Don't listen to An Er's nonsense, he may have a bad mouth, but his heart is not bad.
There is a locust plague here. There are locust eggs in the fields. If we set fire to the fields, the eggs will be burned to death and there will be no locust plague next year.
As for this month, it's no problem to plant some buckwheat, sweet potatoes, cabbage, radishes and mustard greens. Then, I can pickle some sauerkraut and pickled vegetables. When the time comes, I'll have both food and vegetables for the winter, right? "
Wang Xiaohu was so excited when he heard this that he clapped his thigh and said, "That's great, that's great, Madam, you are the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara who comes down to earth to save us from the water and fire!"
Then he scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly, "Madam, can we grow all the crops into food? We don't need vegetables."
The women who were scolded before also joined in the conversation after hearing this, "Yes, ma'am, we are not a family, we still need vegetables. We just need to have food to eat and not starve to death. We don't need vegetables."
Leng Yue really couldn't agree to this. "You don't know, eating too much sweet potato can cause heartburn and acid reflux. You have to eat it with vegetables, otherwise you will suffer.
Besides, the crops in the fields will be enough for you to eat, and we will also leave a large amount of food for you, so you don’t have to worry about food shortages.”
Wang Xiaohu sighed, "It's all because of the food shortage. They're all scared of starvation!"
The women continued, "That's right, I touched the grain bag before going to bed yesterday, fearing that the grain would disappear.
I had a dream in the middle of the night that my food was lost. I didn’t even have shoes on. I checked again and felt relieved. I didn’t dare to sleep afterwards.”
Another woman also said, "Oh! Me too. I deliberately let that damned guy of mine sleep on the floor at the door with a knife in his arms. I might as well sleep with food in my arms. Otherwise, I would always feel uneasy."
Leng Yue was also helpless after hearing this. The locust plague had lasted for three years, and countless relatives had starved to death during that time. How could they not be afraid?
No matter what words of comfort you say now, it is not as useful as planting crops as soon as possible. "Work hard. The sooner you finish your work, the sooner you can harvest crops."
Wang Xiaohu arranged for the women to do it first, and he ran back happily to call people.
When he got back, he said, "Madam asked us to till the land and plant crops. New food can grow in the land."
The more than 20,000 people in the mountains, plus nearly 2,000 bandits in Liangshan and their 5,000 families, a total of nearly 30,000 people, suddenly became excited when they heard about the food.
They all put down their work, picked up their farming tools, and followed Wang Xiaohu to run in the direction of Leng Yue.
Now that I'm full, I feel full of energy.
Because there were so many people, Leng Yue provided an unlimited amount of necessary seeds and seedlings from the space. In less than a day, all the land that could be planted was planted.
Finally, Leng Yue contributed several buckets of spiritual spring water, mixed it with mountain spring water, and used it to water the ground.
Now we just have to wait for the seeds to sprout and for them to be harvested before the late autumn freeze.
Because she was in a good mood today, Leng Yue was also in high spirits. She provided everyone with a lot of bacon, and braised the offal of the ten pigs from yesterday, and stewed a big pot of food with sauerkraut and potatoes.
I did some hard work today and didn't drink any porridge. Instead, I ate some rice made from a mixture of rice and millet, and steamed and roasted some sweet potatoes.
We have to let everyone know what sweet potatoes are, what they look like, how to eat them and what they taste like, otherwise they will leave and no one will know how to eat them.
Compared with the previous dinner, the dinner was much more sumptuous. Whether it was the soldiers who had just recovered the night before or the civilians, they were all as happy as if it were New Year's Day.
There was both meat and dry rice, not a single liquid dish. My wife also told everyone to eat as much as they wanted, and there was plenty of food!
The people were so busy eating that they didn't even bother to raise their heads, but Leng Yue and Huo Jingxuan had lost their appetite. They felt that the earthquake would happen tonight and were worried about the people who hadn't moved out yet.
Even the five tigers in the space were restless and did not even eat the dinner that An Shi had carefully prepared for them.
Especially the male tiger, who kept wandering around the entrance and exit of the space, as if he had something urgent to do.
It became more and more agitated as time went on, and later on it kept roaring like a tiger, which really annoyed Leng Yue, so she let it out.
The guy ran away without even looking back!
