Mo Qingcheng looked apologetically at Bai Yueniang: "Sister Yue, thank you for your hard work..."
"What are you saying, Sister Mo? Xi'er and the others are still young and should go home."
"Aunt Mo, my sister and I are strong, please don't send us back." The Xuanyuan Ying sisters looked at each other nervously, mustered their courage, and said.
Mo Qingcheng was both amused and exasperated: "Aunt Mo already feels guilty for leaving you all here to lend a hand."
Bai Yueniang smiled and shook her head: "Sister Mo, there's no need for such formalities among family. You are a burden that the three of us, mother and daughters, can never get rid of for the rest of our lives."
"..." Mo Qingcheng, beauty, is it really necessary to be so straightforward?
The two exchanged a smile and decided to return in an hour.
During a break from work, Mo Qingcheng noticed that Bai Yueniang and her daughter were working really hard, and her heart ached: "Sister Yue, we can just hire people to clear the land."
The implication is that you shouldn't overwork yourself.
Bai Yueniang wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve and shook her head repeatedly: "Sister Mo, our family is large, and no amount of money is enough... Besides, Xi'er and the others are too young, so let them stay at home from now on."
Mo Qingcheng nodded: "Ying'er and the others are still young, so don't be too biased. Let's just leave it at that... We'll do what we can. If we spend the money, we can find other ways to earn more."
“But… my daughter and I don’t know anything, we just have some strength…” Bai Yueniang and her daughter lowered their heads, secretly blaming themselves.
"Don't worry..." As long as I'm here, no problem is a problem.
The young boy looked over, his feelings complicated, and his icy expression was somewhat uneasy.
Mo Qingcheng chuckled: "Yichen, stop acting all old-fashioned. Your mother will arrange for you to study and learn martial arts. You can't spend your whole lives toiling in the fields..."
Although these children were brought back by her crippled husband whom she had never met, Mo Qingcheng discovered that the children's identities were extraordinary after spending so much time together. She thought it best to raise them properly so that they wouldn't feel inferior when they were recognized as their ancestors in the future...
Shangguan Yichen was unaware of Mo Qingcheng's true thoughts, and even less aware that his true identity had been practically manipulated by his stepmother. The young boy's eyes flickered slightly, and he turned his head away, a pang of sadness in his heart.
This kind of stepmother is...much more lovable than a biological mother...
Fifteen minutes later, the group continued clearing the land.
Bai Yueniang sighed softly, feeling that the tools in her hands were not satisfactory. Mo Qingcheng slapped her forehead.
Good heavens, there are still so many tools lying around on the interstellar farm, all used specifically for land reclamation. How could we have forgotten about them?
No, those tools are too advanced; they need to be modified...
Mo Qingcheng's eyes lit up: "Sister Yue, let's go back tonight and think about it, and improve the tools..." It should make things much more efficient.
Bai Yueniang didn't take it too seriously. Her grandfather was a skilled farmer who always tried to improve farming tools, but he never succeeded.
Thinking of her ailing grandfather and parents, Bai Yueniang's vision blurred with tears...
"Sister Yue, if you have something on your mind, tell your sister... maybe I can help you." Mo Qingcheng paused slightly as she cleared the land, perhaps because Bai Yueniang's sorrowful aura was too overwhelming.
“Aunt Mo, Mother asked about Great-Grandfather…” Xuan Yuan Ying lowered her eyes and said timidly, “They are all… sick… and have fled the famine…”
"Silly girl, why didn't you say so sooner?" Mo Qingcheng was both angry and distressed. "After we finish clearing the land, let's ask around and see where they're staying."
Bai Yueniang suddenly knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face, which frightened the Xuanyuan Ying sisters. The two little girls rushed forward and hugged her, crying loudly.
"Mother, you can't abandon us..."
