Chapter 470 A Family of纨绔 (Wán kù, a spoiled and dissolute family) Causes the Death of the Entire Court (23)

"We've gotten used to playing along with our sister's antics."

"Nonsense?"

Mrs. Jin glanced at her.

"You mean everything Ah Shu is doing right now is nonsense?"

Jin Chuyao didn't detect the slight displeasure in Madam Jin's tone and nodded helplessly.

“Aunt, I know you worry about my sister every day, but what Sister Shu did today was really a bit too much.”

How can we let the governor go to work in the fields with us?

"Why can't the governor go out and work in the fields?"

Madam Jin's question completely baffled Jin Chuyao.

Her tone was off, and Jin Chuyao finally noticed something was wrong, so she quickly shook her head.

"I was just worried that the governor would be displeased, but would refrain from showing it because of our past relationship."

“Governor Zhang comes from a large farming family and usually pays the most attention to people’s livelihood. Although it was A-Shu who took the initiative to suggest it today, Governor Zhang really likes it. So how can you say that he is unhappy?”

How dare you, a mere junior, presume to fathom Lord Zhang's thoughts?!

"Aunt, I just..."

Think before you speak!

Madam Jin's stern tone intimidated Jin Chuyao so much that she dared not utter a sound.

Reborn, she catered to Madam Jin's preferences and diligently studied how to play the role of a "good niece" in front of her.

To make up for her regret of having given birth to two useless daughters, and to reassure her that she would gradually hand over the Jin family's internal affairs to him.

Everything was clearly moving in a positive direction, but what was that old man doing, scolding her for no reason?

Jin Chuyao was indignant but dared not show it, so she could only suppress her anger and obediently agree.

"Auntie's words are right, Chu Yao will remember them."

Madam Jin didn't even glance at her, and turned around to shout something into the ground.

"It's getting late, when will this end?"

Jin Shouan straightened up and replied with a strong voice.

"Finish the last half of the board and then leave!"

He wasn't this energetic when betting at the casino.

After a long day of work, Jin Shou'an, who was originally dressed in a brocade robe, looked as if he had just crawled out of the water. His hair was disheveled, and his outer robe was nowhere to be found. He was only wearing a pure white inner robe that was casually hanging on his body.

He was shouting, drenched in sweat, holding a hoe in one hand and pulling at his clothes with the other.

"Water! Give me some water!"

Jin Shu tossed him the water bag she had prepared. Jin Shou'an took it, opened it, and drank from it, taking more than a dozen large gulps before stopping.

"That feels so good!!"

As a rich young master who spent most of his life sitting or lying down, this was the first time in his life that he had experienced such thorough hard work, and he felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction and pride.

"Thanks to your help today, otherwise we definitely wouldn't have been able to finish planting before dark."

Jin Shu was generous with her praise.

This tactic proved very effective against Kim Soo-an. Although he tried to suppress the twitching of his lips, the slight movement betrayed his inner smugness.

"Next time you need help, just ask your brother!"

"Even those experienced farmers who have been planting for ten or twenty years can't plant as well as you. Brother, are you some kind of farming genius?"

Has the Jin family been burying your talent all these years?

Jin Shu's words had a hint of deliberate flattery, but they were very effective when applied to Jin Shou'an.

“I think so too! How about I ask my mother to prepare some land for me to grow crops in the future? I don’t know why, but seeing rows of crops planted by my own hands makes me feel incredibly happy.”

Upon hearing this, Jin Shu became certain that this guy was a farming expert.

Ji had told her that some people are born to love planting things, not just grains, but also flowers, grasses and other vegetation, which are what they like to tinker with the most.

Such people experience a sense of excitement and joy comparable to the three great pleasures of life when they see what they have planted thriving.

And such a person is a master healer.

Jin Shu could tell from the flowers and plants all over Jin Shou'an's yard that this guy was probably a master craftsman.

After trying it today, it's indeed the case.

"Would you help me with the daily irrigation and weeding of this land?"

"Um... okay."

Anyway, he didn't want to study. Rather than being locked in the study every day like being in prison, he would rather come to this desolate wilderness to do some work.

This is much better than before when I was constantly in a daze and yawning.

After a day of planting, Jin Shu felt a bit tired. After serving her dinner, Green Bamboo returned with the water for washing her face and found Jin Shu asleep on the soft couch in the side room.

Green Bamboo covered her with a soft blanket, then lit some calming incense and quietly withdrew.

When I woke up again, time had already stopped.

Jin Shu put on her coat and returned to the stable. The oil lamp allowed her to clearly see the outline of the lush greenery in front of her.

These are the fruit seedlings she cultivated, growing vigorously.

Ji knew she liked to eat fruit, the sweeter the better.

So she was given many extremely rare fruit seeds, some of which no one in the world had ever seen before. Even Jin Shu, who had lived for so many years and traveled through so many worlds, had never heard of or seen them.

Ji said that this was a superior variety he had cultivated himself, specifically for his best friend, Jin Shu.

My best friend is indeed me.

Because of his eccentric temperament and his peasant background, Ji liked to stay in the fields all day long to conduct research and did not allow anyone to approach his experimental fields. As a result of his eccentricities, his relatives and friends gradually distanced themselves from him.

That is, when Jin Shu first came down from the sky, she was only thinking about learning to farm and ignored everything else.

In addition, she lived a long life and was quite tolerant and generous, never arguing with him over trivial matters, which is why the two were able to remain good friends for decades.

Unfortunately, after Ji was finally made the God of Grain, she began her next round of travels, without even having a chance to drink his celebratory wine.

As her thoughts returned to the present, Jin Shu stroked the seedlings in front of her and felt it was necessary to make plans for their safety.

The progress of the natural disaster was beyond her control; the world would inevitably descend into chaos sooner or later, and He'an County would surely be filled with refugees once again.

Jin Shu did not feel hatred or any other negative emotions towards these refugees who were driven mad by hunger, even as they looted and destroyed her homes.

This is only natural.

Hunger can cause the collapse of social order, the loss of control over the law, and the degeneration of humanity, leaving only the most primitive instincts.

That is, to fill one's stomach and survive.

Jin Shu couldn't blame them; as a deity, she could only blame the unpredictable nature of the heavens.

But now that she's become a mortal, she can't interfere with the affairs of the gods, so all she can do is try her best to prepare for anything before it happens.
