Back in Taoyuan Village, Liu Yingying went to the farm.

The farm has only been established for a short time, and there are still dozens or even hundreds of kinds of fruit and vegetable seeds in the space mall, which have not yet been tested for planting.

Currently, we only grow some sweet potatoes, potatoes, tomatoes, eggplants, cabbages, radishes, and other fruits and vegetables.

Because of the special nature of these seeds, they have a shorter growing time than other crops, and the fruits and vegetables they produce are larger and taste better. As a result, all the fruits and vegetables from Taoyuan Village Farm and Baotian Town Farm, except for those they keep for their own consumption, have been pre-ordered by several large restaurants in the county town.

Some restaurants and wealthy families also wanted to buy them, but the supply couldn't meet the demand.

However, planting various fruit trees is only a temporary plan for Liu Yingying. Next spring, these two farms will still be used to grow staple crops.

In an era when agricultural technology was underdeveloped and grain production was generally low, many people still couldn't afford to eat.

In years of famine, the land was often littered with corpses of the starving.

Moreover, food is a basic necessity; even if fruits and vegetables are grown well, it's just icing on the cake.

She has even longer-term plans...

As soon as Liu Yingying arrived near the farm, she heard the shouting and cursing of Ma Jinhua and Ma Qiumei, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, coming from ahead.

At this moment, Ma Jinhua and Ma Qiumei each carried a large vegetable basket on their shoulders, and also carried a large bamboo basket on their backs, both of which were empty.

They looked like they were going to go into the farm to pick vegetables, but Jin Wu and a few other workers stopped them from going in.

Enraged, Ma Jinhua pointed at Jin Wu and the others and yelled, "How dare you servants stop me? This is my son's territory!"

In her view, since Liu Yingying had married into the Zhu family, everything she owned belonged to the Zhu family.

Even the people Liu Yingying invited were all servants of the Zhu family!

Since they are servants, what's wrong with them cursing a few times?

No matter how much Ma Jinhua yelled and cursed, it was no use. Jin Wu and his men kept a tight guard over the farm gate, preventing her from stepping inside.

Enraged, Ma Jinhua immediately brought up her son to intimidate them: "My son has become a high-ranking official in the capital and will be back soon. You have treated me like this today, but I will not let you off the hook when he returns!"

Jin Wu had been on the battlefield and crawled out of piles of dead bodies, so he was not afraid of this old woman's threats. He crossed his arms and said slowly.

"The Great Xia is a place that upholds the law. Even if your son becomes a high-ranking official, what does that have to do with us?"

"This farm was bought by the magistrate of Ning'an County, and we were invited by the magistrate. What does it have to do with your son?"

Others chimed in, "That's right, this farm belongs to the Lady of Ning'an County. It has nothing to do with your son, and even less to do with you! I've never seen such a shameless old woman as you, insisting on breaking into someone else's territory to take things, and you even have the nerve to act like a thief?"

"You, you, you..." Ma Jinhua pointed at Jin Wu and the others, but couldn't get the words out for a long time, and almost fainted.

"Mother-in-law, don't be angry. It's not worth ruining your health over someone like that!" Ma Qiumei quickly tried to soothe her.

It's not that she's particularly filial; it's just that she and this old woman are now in the same boat, and they need to unite against a common enemy.

If the old woman were to get so angry at this moment that she were seriously ill, it wouldn't be a good thing for her!

It took Ma Jinhua a long time to catch her breath. Just as she was about to continue her tantrum, she discovered that Jin Wu and the others' attitudes had suddenly made a complete 180-degree turn.

Just a moment ago they were looking at me with a fierce expression, but in the blink of an eye their faces are full of respect.

Ma Jinhua assumed that her earlier use of her eldest son to intimidate them had worked, and her smugness intensified.

"Now you know fear?"

"Hmph, let me tell you, even if you lowly people kneel down and beg me today, it won't do you any good. As soon as my son comes back, I'll have him fire you all!"

Ma Qiumei quickly tugged at her clothes; "Mom, please let these people go in and pick some fruit for us. We're waiting to start cooking at home... Remember to fill the baskets and hampers!"

When Ma Qiumei returned home after serving her sentence, she found that her family was even poorer than before the incident.

Now almost the entire village has gotten on Liu Yingying's good side, and their quality of life has improved dramatically. They can eat meat almost every few days.

But their family and Zhang Qiaomei's family remained the same as before, so poor that they couldn't even afford to eat.

After eating cornbread for several days, Ma Qiumei couldn't take it anymore.

So today I persuaded Grandma Ma to come to the farm to pick vegetables again...

Since Liu Yingying has married into the Zhu family, her things belong to the Zhu family.

I am also a daughter-in-law of the Zhu family. Why shouldn't I be allowed to go to this farm and get something to eat?

Ma Qiumei and Ma Jinhua, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, were perfectly justified, while Jin Wu glanced at them as if they were idiots, and then went directly to greet Liu Yingying.

"Greetings, Lady Ning'an!"

"What Ning'an..."

Ma Qiumei's words caught in her throat halfway through, and she turned around stiffly to look at him.

Liu Yingying, wearing a light blue robe, stood behind them, looking at them with a sarcastic expression.

Ma Qiumei's face burned with embarrassment as she realized that in the months since she went to prison, that bitch Liu Yingying had received an incredible opportunity.

She was actually granted the title of Lady of Ning'an County by the imperial court!

Oh dear, God is so blind!

Liu Yingying looked directly at Jin Wu, a smile appearing on her face, and asked, "It's getting cold today, have all the sweet potatoes been dug up?"

The soil on her farm has been specially treated so that even out of season, other seasonal fruits and vegetables can be grown. Judging by the days, this batch of sweet potatoes has reached harvest time.

Jin Wu nodded and said, "They've all been dug out, but the workshop can't use that many. A lot are still stored in the workshop. As for what to do with them, I'll have to ask you to tell me."

Liu Yingying: "These next two days, you guys should dig a cellar. You can dig two, make them big and deep, and store all the fruits and vegetables you can't use in there!"

"Yes!" Jin Wu nodded in agreement, without uttering a single unnecessary word.

Seeing that Liu Yingying dared to ignore her, Ma Jinhua finally lost her temper and shouted sharply.

"Liu, your mother-in-law is standing right in front of you. Are you blind? Don't you know how to greet your mother-in-law?"

Liu Yingying then noticed her, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly. "Weren't you going to tell your son to divorce me? What kind of mother-in-law are you pretending to be now?"

“You…” Ma Jinhua was choked and couldn’t speak.

Ma Qiumei quickly interjected, "At least you haven't been divorced yet, have you? As long as you haven't been divorced, you're still Old Zhu's daughter-in-law. How can you disrespect your mother-in-law?"

"Ha!" Liu Yingying laughed in anger and took two steps closer to Ma Qiumei and Ma Jinhua.

The two were so frightened that they quickly retreated, looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

"What...what do you want to do?!"
