At dawn, the village chief asked the villagers to gather at the gate of the ancestral hall. In front of the villagers, he removed the clan names of Chen Dagou's family, Chen Hai's family, and Widow Tang from Qingshan Village and drove them out of Qingshan Village. Then he called a few young people and took Li Yun's ox cart to the yamen.
Li Yun got up and had breakfast with his family. Yu Jing brought some women over, including a woman from Qingshan Village.
Ask someone to bring out the potatoes and pick up a potato.
As he demonstrated and explained how to cut potato seeds, everyone soon understood.
This is a simple operation, just cut along the sprout and cut it into pieces.
After seeing that everyone had learned it, Li Yun went to do his own thing.
She called Tian Ji and asked him to lead the farmers to fertilize the wasteland in the east of the village with the organic fertilizer that she taught Tian Ji to use.
Soon, the farmers' team brought in cartloads of organic fertilizer using ox carts.
Li Yun wore a mask and an apron and demonstrated it to everyone in person.
After the farmers team learned how to do it, she also followed everyone in applying fertilizers and then covered the organic fertilizer with soil.
An hour passed, and three acres of land had been fertilized, covered with organic fertilizer, and the ground had been tidied.
Li Yun returned home. Yu Jing and the other women cut a bunch of potatoes. Li Yun asked An San to take them with her to the wasteland in the east of the village to plant potatoes.
When they arrived at the wasteland, Li Yun said to Tian Ji.
"Uncle Tian, go call the villagers over to plant potatoes today," Li Yun said to Tian Ji.
"Yes, master." Tian Ji said and left.
After Tian Ji left, Li Yun began to dig vortices one by one. When Tian Ji brought the villagers over, many vortices had already been dug.
"Everyone come here, this is a piece of potato, I will teach you how to plant potatoes." Li Yun taught everyone to put the sprouted part upwards and then cover it with soil.
Then explain to Dagen how far apart each potato piece should be, so that more small potatoes can grow in the ground.
Seeing that everyone understood, she started planting as well. It was not until noon when Qin Lanlan came to call her back for lunch that she took the farmers' team and villagers back.
"Yun'er, Yaoguang came over just now and said that the county magistrate sentenced Chen Dagou, Chen Hai, and widow Tang to fifty lashes of the cane and ten years in prison." Qin Lanlan told Li Yun everything Yaoguang had told her that happened in the yamen.
"They deserve it. Why destroy something else but the high-yield sweet potatoes, which are the people's staple food? How could Big Brother let them go so easily?" said Li Yun.
After the villagers left, the village chief looked for her to see if she could save the sweet potato seedlings that were trampled.
She waited until everyone left, planted the sweet potato seedlings, and then watered the space before going home.
With the nourishment of space water, those sweet potato seedlings should be able to be saved.
"Yes, I saw the sweet potato seedlings trampled on the ground, and I felt so sad. Those are our food rations.
"I think the sentence is too light and they should be kept in jail for life," Qin Lanlan said angrily.
"Okay, Mom, let's not let those figures affect our mood, let's eat." Li Yun quickly comforted Qin Lanlan, lest she get sick from anger, which would be counterproductive.
"Grandma, mother is right. They have received the lesson they deserve. We shouldn't ruin our health because of those people. It's not worth it." Dabao also comforted Qin Lanlan.
"Okay, grandma, don't be angry. Dabao and Yun'er are right. It's not worth ruining your health because of those people. Let's eat." Qin Lanlan knew that she was angry just now and made Yun'er and her beloved grandson worry. She felt very sorry.
Seeing that Qin Lanlan was fine, everyone happily started eating. After the meal, they went back and took a nap.
"Why are you chasing us away? This is our home. We have lived here for generations. What qualifications do you have to chase us away?" Jinhua suddenly shouted loudly.
"Mom, what happened? It sounds like my aunt's voice." Li Yun was woken up and came out to ask Qin Lanlan.
"I'm not very clear about it either. It seems that Jinhua and the others were driven away by the villagers when they came back from the county town." Qin Lanlan told Li Yun what she knew.
"It's this incident. It's only a matter of time before they are expelled from the clan by the village chief and driven away." After knowing what happened, Li Yun didn't feel surprised anymore.
"Yes! Yun'er, let's not worry about this matter. After all, it is somewhat related to us. We will not get involved and let the village chief handle it." Qin Lanlan said to Li Yun.
"Mom, I know. I won't care. I'm going to plant potatoes." Li Yun went to wash his face, and then went to the wasteland to plant potatoes.
Just as I walked a short distance away, I saw the village chief and villagers surrounding Chen Yan's family and Chen Dagang's family. Jinhua and Jinying were scolding the villagers and making a big noise.
"Chen Yan, Chen Dagang, what are you doing here? You have been expelled and are no longer villagers of Qingshan Village. If you continue to make trouble, you will be handed over to the authorities." The village chief scolded Chen Yan and Chen Dagang.
"Village chief, what you did was not fair. As a small village official, what qualifications do you have to expel us?" Chen Yan asked the village chief.
"It's not my decision alone. It was made by the village chief, the elders and the village chief together. Do you think the village chief is qualified?" The village chief said to Chen Yan.
"Your sons Chen Dagou and Chen Hai have committed a serious crime, but I can't remove you from the list. Do you want to destroy our Qingshan Village?
Those sweet potatoes were meant to be presented to the Emperor. Your son actually dared to destroy the Emperor's food. He must think the villagers of Qingshan Village are too long-lived." The head of Qingshan Village pointed at the handrail and said to Chen Yan.
"What emperor's food? This is nonsense from the Chen Ye family.
None of us have ever seen the emperor, and he doesn't know that we have sweet potatoes here. Besides, it is still unknown whether sweet potatoes can bear fruit and whether they can produce high yields.
This is just nonsense from the Chen Ye family, and you believe it. You treat her like a treasure, but be careful, she's the one who harms Qingshan Village." Chen Yan said to the clan leader.
