After inviting them to have breakfast together, Lin Yinan arranged for two bodyguards to accompany the doctor to the forest to search for medicinal herbs.

Lin Yinan left the injured bodyguard in the house to take care of Lin Shuo, while she took Yun Ming, Wu Song, and Chen Shi to find Zhao Mang.

Wu Song held a small booklet in his hand, while Chen Shi prepared to pull the remaining cow.

"Let the oxen rest well and let the villagers pull the plow themselves; they are quite strong."

She'll play the role of Zhou Bapi for once.

After this incident, Zhao Mang dared not be negligent in the slightest and waited outside the courtyard early.

The site of yesterday's bloody battle had already been washed clean by Zhao Mang, but dark brown traces could still be seen on the walls and in some cracks in the stones.

Upon seeing her emerge, Zhao Mang immediately stepped forward to report, not daring to show the slightest negligence.

"Lord, two of them didn't make it last night and have already been taken away for burial."

This was already within Lin Yinan's expectations. "What about the others?"

"They've all behaved themselves and haven't dared to cause any more trouble. Now, are we going to get them up and working?"

"Yes, those with serious injuries or minor injuries who are unable to walk should rest first, while those with minor injuries should immediately assemble in the fields."

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away."

Zhao Mang led a few villagers away at a jog.

The titmouse tilted its head and asked her, "Sister Anan, did they go straight to the fields without eating yesterday or this morning?"

“If they’re too full, they won’t work. They’ll just be jumping around. They might as well stop eating.”

Lin Yinan swept her cold gaze over the villagers peeking from behind the door, her voice devoid of any emotion.

She has no interest in playing the saint. Since she gave them an easy path and they didn't choose it, then they shouldn't blame her for being ruthless!

Upon arriving at the fields, they saw the terraced fields below the slopes already filled with water. Given the villagers' lack of cooperation, it was clear that Lin Shuo and his team had put in a lot of effort to complete the marriage.

Hong Mu and his three companions looked around with great curiosity, as they had never known that crops could be grown in water.

The villagers stood in a row without thinking. They still vividly remembered Lin Yinan's merciless attack on them yesterday, and no one dared to cause any trouble.

Lin Yinan's gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Zhao Mang.

"Now we will start dividing into groups of several people each day. Each group will be assigned a fixed task, and you can only leave after you have completed it. Everyone will be treated equally. If you do not obey the management, you will not be allowed to eat. Ordinary villagers will have points deducted, which will be deducted from the grain they are allocated at the end of the quarter."

Then, Wu Song, Chen Shi, and Yun Ming, who were familiar with them, assessed and divided them into groups to see how many tasks they should complete in a day.

Zhao Mang busied himself helping out.

Lin Yinan called him aside and said, "Village chief, you arrange for the village women to cook."

As soon as she mentioned it, the village chief already had a suitable candidate.

"We can't let them cook without any responsibility in the long run; they need to take turns every day," she added.

"Wouldn't it be better to select a fixed woman to do the job?" The village chief was in a dilemma; he also wanted to do something for his own wife.

"Just do as I say. Having fixed personnel can easily lead to conflicts."

On the other hand, Wu Song and his team worked very efficiently, dividing the team members and selecting reliable villagers to be in charge of management.

"Lord of the city, everything has been arranged."

Lin Yinan said, "Then let's begin. Speed ​​up the harrowing; the rice seedlings might not be able to wait."

At Zhao Mang's command, the villagers found plows and harrows and went down to the fields.

With his arm in a sling, Wu Song was pulled by Hong Mu and the others to look at the rice seedlings, and Zhao Mang also went down to the field to help.

Lin Yinan patrolled the field, while Qianxia and Qianwu behind him carried small baskets and occasionally used tree branches to dig up wild vegetables growing along the edge of the field.

From time to time, the chirping of tits could be heard from the side, as if they had discovered something good.

Today is a sunny day. The sun is shining through the clouds and onto the earth under a clear blue sky.

Qianxia hurriedly plucked some leaves, her fingers flying, and quickly wove a straw hat.

"Girl, it's sunny, put it on quickly."

The titmouse, as if wanting to show off, also wove one and ran over to present it like a treasure, saying, "Sister Anan, this is what I wove, isn't it pretty?"

"Beautiful! Even a titmouse has skillful hands!" Lin Yinan praised sincerely.

Qianwu also made one, but it came undone as soon as she put it on her head, making Shan Que laugh out loud.

"Oh dear, my hands won't obey me."

"Sister Qianwu, this is for you."

The titmouse quickly put her braided hairpin on Qianwu's head, then casually took off the loose hairpin from Qianwu's head and braided it in a few quick movements.

Hearing the laughter, the man holding the plow in the field next to them frowned, a sinister look flashing in his eyes, and growled at the two women pulling the plow in front of him.

"You two jinxes! If it weren't for you men stirring things up, I wouldn't be in this state now."

As he spoke, he lashed the stick in his hand hard against one of the women, as if she were a bull.

The woman smirked coldly. "Did he hold a knife to your throats and force you to rebel?"

"Your greed has led to this end; who can you blame but yourself?" another woman with a child strapped to her back sneered.

The two women were the wives that Wangcai and his brother had bought in Huaizhou City yesterday, the ones who were killed by Lin Yinan and Qianwu.

The aunt next to him cursed, "I bet it was you two bastards who instigated Wangcai to do these things."

"Yeah, look at the slutty vibe they have. They're probably from that brothel. They've been played with so much that Wangcai bought them back." The man in charge of the land distribution in the same group said with a lewd smile.

The two looked at each other and saw anger in each other's eyes.

The woman carrying the child angrily said, "Er Mazi, stop spouting nonsense. My sister-in-law and I come from respectable families. We were bought by Brother Wangcai to be his wives. We're not some scumbags from a brothel."

The older woman threw the muddy water from her hands onto the woman carrying the child, but the woman was not one to take it lying down. She turned around and pushed the older woman down into the muddy field.

"How dare you push me!" the woman said angrily, sitting in the paddy field.

When the man saw his wife being bullied, he raised his stick to strike the woman, but accidentally hit the child on her back instead.

The sleeping child was woken up by the slapping and immediately burst into tears from the pain.

"Shut up! Make him shut up."

The man panicked, afraid that the child's crying would attract attention.

He released the plow and stepped forward, intending to reach out and cover the child's mouth.

The woman carrying the child dodged to the side, but her feet sank into the paddy field and she lost her footing. Fortunately, her sister-in-law next to her steadied her and prevented her from falling.

She shouted sharply, "What are you trying to do?"

The man raised the stick in his hand, about to strike the woman, when at that moment, a palm-sized clod of mud hit him in the face with a "smack".

Everyone present was stunned and looked in the direction from which the mud clods had come. They saw Lin Yinan standing on the ridge of the field, watching them quietly, a faint, cold smile playing on her lips.

The man threw down the stick in his hand, slowly lowered his raised hand, and turned to pull his wife, who was sitting in the paddy field.

These people haven't eaten for two meals, yet they still have the energy to cause trouble.

The woman got up from the ground and accused the villain first.

"Lord City Lord, it's all because these two little bastards slacked off!"
