Su Nanxi held a small, exquisite bamboo whistle in her mouth and gently blew it. As the rhythm of the whistle quickened, a rustling sound came from the bamboo forest, and a flock of birds flew out, instantly forming a formation and swooping down in Li Yunmei's direction.
How annoying!
He keeps bouncing around in front of her, he's not a mermaid, he has no self-awareness at all!
Do you really think she wouldn't dare to clean it up?
That would scare the brain of someone with a hole in it to death!
She had specially bred these birds, but alas, she had no experience in training birds and it was purely a whim. She even asked Mo Qinghe to make a small bamboo whistle. After failing many times, she became discouraged and decided to give up.
Since she had given up, Su Nanxi thought she should give them some good food as a farewell. So she mixed bird food with spiritual spring water, placed it on the ground, watched it for a while, and then left it alone.
After that incident, the birds came every day, searching for Su Nanxi. Su Nanxi felt that this might be an opportunity, so she began her exploration.
After exploring for so long, it's time to put it to the test and see how effective it is!
Hmm! Not bad!
Look, Li Yunmei screamed in fright, turned around and ran away, wishing she had two more legs!
Li Yunmei was devastated. She was terrified of these sharp-beaked birds. Oh my god!
So many of them came at once, all pointing their sharp beaks at her, their dark, shiny eyes fixed on her, flapping their wings and rushing towards her!
Should we stay here and let the birds peck at us instead of running away?
She wished she could run without her feet touching the ground!
Unlike Li Yunmei's fright, the onlookers found it novel and exciting.
Wow! The mute girl has unlocked a new skill!
The mute woman can even train birds!
Su Nanxi explained it this way: "I was just making this up. I don't know anything about training birds! It must be that Li Yunmei is really too awful and has angered all the birds in the bamboo forest, so those birds are chasing after her and won't let her go, they just have to teach her a lesson!"
Regardless of whether the onlookers believed her or not, she had already given an explanation.
Gao Yuling absolutely did not believe it. Did she think she was stupid? Did she think these birds were all spirits? If they got annoyed, they could just fly away and ignore her!
Don't think she didn't see that Su Su had something in her mouth; the whistle came from there. She was right next to her and heard it clearly!
Su Nanxi didn't care whether Gao Yuling believed it or not. That girl was too clever for her own good; she definitely wouldn't believe it. Why bother with her?
Su Nanxi finally said to the onlookers, "Everyone saw clearly that I didn't lay a hand on Li Yunmei. If she got hurt, it's not my problem. If the Li family causes trouble, you'll have to vouch for me!"
When the Mo family rarely asks for their help, isn't this a good opportunity to get closer to them?
So the onlookers all said there was no problem. They had seen with their own eyes that Li Yunmei had angered the flock of birds and was driven away by them, while the mute girl hadn't moved at all!
After receiving everyone's approval, Su Nanxi felt relieved.
The two went back to the cornfield without encountering anything else.
After walking around, Su Nanxi was so excited she almost jumped for joy!
The corn has really started to tassel!
Her hard work definitely paid off!
It was worth it for her to soak in the water every day before. You know, the water she soaked in wasn't ordinary water; it was water mixed with spiritual spring water!
Seeing that a drought might be coming, she didn't have the patience to wait for the corn to grow slowly on its own. The only way was to add some spiritual spring water to make the corn grow faster. Look, it's quite strong and tall!
With the blessing of the spiritual spring water, these corns also tasseled earlier than ordinary corn.
It's very obvious that the corn from the Mo family is very different from the corn from the other villagers!
Not only does it grow fast and well, but it also heads early!
Hehe! The corn harvest will be here soon!
She no longer needs to go to the mountains for a formality; the corn can be eaten directly or sold!
Gao Yuling had never seen anything like it before, and found it very novel and interesting. She was also very happy and even reached out to touch the corn silk.
"Susu, won't these corns grow big soon?" Gao Yuling wasn't worried about getting her hands itchy from the corn leaves anymore.
They wrapped their heads and most of their faces in gauze to avoid being scratched by the leaves, which would not only cause itching but could also potentially cut them if they weren't careful.
Su Nanxi nodded happily, "Yes! Soon, we'll be able to eat corn until we're sick of it!"
Gao Yuling was so happy she couldn't stop smiling; her once round eyes were now just tiny crescent moons.
"It's so delicious, and there are so many ways to eat it, I definitely won't get tired of it!"
Su Nanxi didn't argue with her, she just stared at the cornfield and grinned foolishly.
Upon returning home and learning the news, the Mo family was overjoyed. Their hard work had yielded tangible results; how could they not be happy?
Su Nanxi shared her thoughts: "Our corn ripens early, which will inevitably attract many people to visit the field. Among them, there's no guarantee that there won't be people who maliciously damage our corn. With the harvest approaching, this is the most crucial time, and we can't afford to let our guard down. I think starting tomorrow, it's necessary to take turns going to the field to check on things, just in case."
Everyone was still immersed in the joy of preparing to harvest corn when Su Nanxi's words suddenly snapped them out of their reverie.
Yes! It's just flowering now, far from harvest. Whether we can have a big harvest depends on how well we care for it in the final stages!
Everyone agreed that it made sense; one should always be wary of others. We've worked so hard for so long, hoping for a good harvest, and we can't let it be ruined by malicious people.
Every village has its share of malicious people. They may seem harmless most of the time, but they could stab you in the back at a crucial moment!
If he doesn't have it, no one else can either!
To put it bluntly, it's just a matter of inner imbalance and jealousy!
Old Mo understood perfectly well; having lived for decades, what hadn't he seen?
I agree with Su Nanxi's words, but I also feel a little scared. They were all immersed in the prospect of a bountiful harvest that had not yet materialized, only seeing what was in front of them and not anticipating the bad things that might happen.
Fortunately, the third daughter-in-law is clear-headed and thinks things through!
They immediately decided that starting tomorrow, family members would take turns on duty, adults and children alike. As long as someone was there to keep watch, the others wouldn't dare to make any rash moves.
Old Man Xu got angry because he wasn't assigned to a shift. He said the Mo family treated him like an outsider, since he was Mo Qinghe's master and they didn't even give him a job. He insisted on going on duty!
Old Mo didn't arrange for him to go, mainly because he was his third son's master. How could he let his master do chores! Where was the respect for his master?
Another concern is that Old Xu might feel unwell running around in the hot sun, especially since he's getting on in years. What if he gets dizzy or has some kind of accident?
But Old Xu didn't care; he was in good health and insisted on going along for a stroll.
Old Man Mo had no choice but to let him and Mo Qinghe go out for a walk when the sun was less intense in the morning, and to make sure they took precautions against sunburn!
Old Xu didn't listen. What's wrong with getting a little sun? He's not a delicate young lady who's worried about looking bad if he gets a tan!
A tan looks good on a grown man; it makes him look masculine!
"San'er, let's go to town for a check-up tomorrow!"
