“I didn’t cause any trouble,” Lu Qingyan said. “Captain Guo, do you remember that I caught a wild boar for our village?”
"Lu Qingyan, I know it's because you set up the trap well, but it has nothing to do with being strong. It's good that you have the heart. There are so many men in our team, why do we need a girl like you to do heavy work?" Remembering Lu Qingyan's great contributions, Captain Guo couldn't help but soften his voice.
The wild boar was carried back by Zhao Guoan and others. Zhao Guoan had already seen the boar in the trap and hurriedly ran back to find help. Lu Qingyan didn't even have time to call him back.
To prove herself, Lu Qingyan simply picked up the stone roller by the roadside.
Onlookers: !
"Am I sure my eyes are working properly? Could I have just seen things?" Everyone wondered in their hearts. This woman looked so petite, but they never expected her to have such strength.
"My God!" A middle-aged man standing next to Captain Guo lightly slapped himself. Was that the stone mill from their village that the girl was holding up?
He stepped forward in disbelief, tapped the millstone with his hand, then looked at Lu Qingyan's fair and delicate hands, and blankly imitated her movements, trying to lift the millstone.
But he, a grown man, used all his strength and did manage to lift the stone mill. However, after taking three steps, he couldn't hold on any longer and almost dropped the millstone. If Lu Qingyan hadn't been quick enough to help him, this heavy thing weighing over 100 pounds would probably have smashed directly onto his instep.
These days, there's hardly anywhere that can treat such a serious injury; nine times out of ten, he'll be crippled for life.
Captain Guo slapped him on the back of the head: "You little brat, what are you doing?"
"Dad," the man looked pitifully at Captain Guo beside him. This man was Captain Guo's eldest son.
Given Lu Qingyan's exceptional abilities, it was only natural that Captain Guo would assign her the same work points as the men.
Then he looked at the other three people with anticipation, wondering if they were as strong as Lu Qingyan, but he was destined to be disappointed.
Seeing Lu Qingyan surrounded and fawned over, Liu Yi was far from calm. "What's with all the showing off?" Liu Yi thought bitterly, her resentment towards Lu Qingyan intensifying.
After the busy spring season, summer arrived quickly.
The wheat harvest was quick, and it was time to plant corn. Many of the village's able-bodied men were sent to plow the fields for corn planting, and Lu Qingyan, being a strongwoman, naturally took on the task.
Many people have secretly asked Lu Qingyan what good food she ate to have such great strength. Lu Qingyan always honestly replied that she didn't eat anything special. She ate the same grains as everyone else. She just didn't know she had such great strength before. She only discovered it after she arrived here.
The villagers thought about it and agreed. Everyone must have grown up eating grains. At most, Lu, the educated youth, had eaten a few more meals of meat or had some of the good things that were only available in the city, like milk powder. But the other educated youth who went to the countryside also came from the city. There was no reason why they hadn't eaten the things that Lu had eaten. But those educated youths didn't have that much strength either. On the contrary, they were all weak and feeble. Planting a rice seedling was like taking their lives for them. They were always thinking about shirking their duties.
