Thinking of the people who had left, Han Qiang sighed helplessly, believing they would soon regret it.
But people often have to make choices. If you make the wrong choice, they're not your parents, so why should they give you a chance to turn back? To his surprise, the Han family actually agreed with him. It seems they've had a lot of contact with Xue Yatou and have completely trusted her.
Han Qiang was absolutely right. From Old Madam Han and Han Datou down to the younger generation, including the uncles and elders, not one of them was not afraid of Xue Yatou.
If they still don't learn their lesson after suffering so many losses, they're truly worse than pigs and dogs.
Han Qiang and several team leaders discussed what to plant. They decided to plant fewer varieties, and finally settled on three main types: sweet potatoes, potatoes, and cabbage.
These are all plants they've grown before and know how to care for. This makes it easier for them to get started. Besides, Xue Yatou said the ripening period is short, so once they harvest again, everyone will have even more faith in Xue Yatou.
After leaving Han Qiang's house, most of the villagers took their families and went to the hillside. Not to work, but to cause destruction.
They pulled up all the sweet potato vines they had planted recently, more thoroughly than ever before. Of course, they couldn't bear to throw them away afterward, as the vines were still lush and green, and they could eat them as vegetables when they got home.
After pulling up the rice seedlings, we naturally leveled the ground. Xueya said she would provide new seeds, so we can forget about the old ones.
Those who had left earlier sneered when they saw everyone pulling up rice seedlings.
“You guys are really obedient. What does a little girl like her know? We’ve been growing sweet potatoes for so many years. Don’t you know how to propagate them? Don’t tell me this is only the second crop. Our family’s sweet potatoes weigh ten or twenty catties each and they still grow very well.”
"Exactly, have you all been brainwashed by that Xue girl? Don't you even consider how old she is? How many times has she ever farmed?"
“Yes, if you pull them all out now, won’t that be a waste of all the work you’ve done recently? You’ve put so much effort into preparing the land and watering it. If you pull them out now, all that work will be for nothing.”
"..."
They were talking happily, and some people actually started to hesitate after hearing what they said.
"Are you guys stupid?"
Seeing that some people were actually hesitant and didn't want to pull it out, Han Man spoke up first: "Xue Ya said this thing can't reproduce on its own, so who else should we believe if not her? Don't forget, she's the one who gave it to us."
"Besides, pulling it out would only waste a few days of our time. If we leave it, then everyone will have something to cry about, just like Xueya said."
"Why worry about wasting a few days' effort when there are better seeds? I, Han Man, will not take such a gamble!"
Han Man's words reaffirmed their resolve.
"Let me tell you, Xue is a very strange person. Almost everything she says comes true. Anyway, we don't need the plants we grow anymore."
Boss Han seized the opportunity to speak.
"I'm her fourth uncle. If I don't support her, who will?"
Han Laosi said in a muffled voice.
"Xin Xue, having enough to eat and drink is not a dream." Han Lao Er also had a smile on his face. Anyone who didn't know better would think that he and Han Luo Xue had a very good relationship.
Everyone in the village knew the relationship between the Han family and Han Laosan, and no one came out to refute it at this time.
"Hurry up and get to work. Once we've sorted things out, we'll have seeds in no time."
Someone said something, and everyone stopped chatting idly and started tidying up the ground or pulling up rice seedlings.
In the afternoon, the villagers gathered at Han Qiang's house again, and the village representatives shared their opinions on the seedlings. Everyone naturally agreed. Those families who left earlier certainly weren't eligible.
At that moment, no one could have imagined that these families would later kneel in the village begging for help. But by then, no one had the chance to give them another chance.
...
"You brat, what did you say?"
Having just resolved the village matters, Han Mingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and naturally, he started planting on all his land. Han Mingyuan was originally a skilled farmer, and even though his family was not short of food, he wouldn't waste the land by letting it lie idle.
As for the land belonging to Han Laoba's family, Han Yuchen also acquired it.
She and Han Luoxue's affair would have to be brought up sooner or later, but Han Yuchen didn't expect Han Mingyuan's reaction to be so strong.
"It was just a formality, not a real wedding. My grandfather insisted that we have a wedding ceremony, but Xue'er and I discussed it and decided that we would have the formal ceremony at home, which would be the real wedding."
"That won't do!" Han Mingyuan was furious. His precious daughter had gotten married out of nowhere after just one trip? Although Han Yuchen said it was just a formality, he was still unhappy.
When a man is unhappy, there's only one solution: just do it.
Han Yuchen dared not dodge or fight back, and was thoroughly beaten for a while. It wasn't until Yunniang couldn't bear to watch any longer that she came over and pulled Han Mingyuan aside: "Alright, Brother Yuan. The two of them are already married. Besides, what's wrong with the grandfather wanting to see his grandson get married? His daughter is grown up, and she'll get married sooner or later. This is something you already helped her choose."
"You brat, you didn't touch Xue'er, did you?"
Han Mingyuan spoke fiercely, tapping the ground with the stick in his hand, implying that if Han Yuchen dared to admit it, he would probably just come up and beat him.
Han Yuchen was so frightened that she quickly shook her head. Han Mingyuan snorted, took the water that Yunniang handed him, and gulped down two mouthfuls. Only then did his anger subside a little.
Han Luoxue chuckled to herself. She knew her father would explode when they first talked about marriage. But this explosion was a bit too much.
Looking at Han Yuchen's bruised and swollen face, Han Luoxue wanted to chuckle to herself. She felt a little guilty, but what could she do? Han Yuchen deserved it.
"Han Yuchen, what does your maternal grandfather do? Who else is in your family?"
Han Mingyuan knew that even if he beat this kid to death, it wouldn't change the fact that he and Xue'er were already married. Although they would have to get married again here, the one they had already had was their proper marriage.
Han Mingyuan's question put Han Yuchen in a difficult position. Although he had lived in the village for several years and everyone knew he was Han Laoba's son, no one knew who his mother was or what her identity was.
Even the claim that Han Laoba is her father cannot be verified.
"Where's Han Laoba? He seemed to have left around the same time as you, why hasn't he come back yet?"
"I don't know where he went, but my grandfather has already sent people to inquire about him. Something must have happened to him, right?"
Speaking of Han Laoba, Han Yuchen was also very worried. But there was nothing he could do about it; even if he went out to find someone himself, he wouldn't be as efficient as his maternal grandfather's side.
“My mother’s only relative here is her maternal grandfather, who lives in Yongyang.”
"Yongyang? Isn't that the border area?"
