Chapter 4: Wheat fills the container
The next day.
Ye Chutang was woken up at dawn.
The villagers who did not go to the fields to work came to the farm spontaneously to help clean up the burned west wing and kitchen.
The three members of the Liu family were burned to death, leaving only a pile of ashes.
The villagers wanted to collect the ashes of the three members of the Liu family and build a cenotaph.
As a result, a gust of wind blew from somewhere and mixed the ashes and plant ashes together.
"This...what should I do?"
Ye Chutang came out of the room and said, "Don't worry about it. It's God who is crushing them to dust."
As soon as these words were spoken, the villagers shuddered.
Aunt Wang rubbed her arms and said, "Then let's follow God's will. No matter what."
After saying that, she picked up the basket on the ground and handed it to Ye Chutang.
"Miss Ye, I thought you must not have had breakfast yet, so I brought some porridge and side dishes. Don't mind."
Ye Chutang took the basket and said, "Thank you, Aunt Wang."
"Miss Ye, eat first. We will clean up the burnt house."
"Okay, I'll help you after we finish eating."
"No, it's too dirty. The house is burned down, and there's not much to clean up. We can just do it."
Ye Chutang didn't insist and walked to the stone bench next to the crabapple tree and sat down.
There was a bowl of thick porridge in the basket. It was yellowish in color and it was obviously made from inferior rice.
There were also two greasy vegetable pancakes, a portion of pickles, and a boiled egg.
For her, this breakfast could be described as eating bran and vegetables.
But she knew that for the poor farmers in ancient times, this was a sumptuous meal that they could only have a few times a year.
Ye Chutang only ate a vegetable pancake that was so dry that it made his throat hurt, and drank some spiritual spring water.
More than half an hour later.
The unburned wood and dust were cleaned up by the villagers, leaving only two charred pieces.
The pots and pans that were not burned were also washed clean.
Aunt Wang looked at the rising sun and wiped the sweat from her face.
"Miss Ye, the village chief has asked someone to deliver a letter to the Shangshu Mansion. Someone will come tomorrow at the latest."
Zhuangzi was nearly two hundred miles away from the capital, and one could travel back and forth in a day by riding a horse at full speed.
Ye Chutang gave the spiritual spring water to everyone to drink as well water.
"Got it. Thank you all for your help. Have a drink of water to moisten your throat."
Aunt Wang took a sip and her eyes lit up.
"The well water is so sweet today, Miss Ye, did you add sugar?"
Ye Chutang nodded without changing his expression.
"I found a bag of sugar in the east wing and put it in the bucket."
A villager who had never eaten candy looked very emotional.
"No wonder the candy is so expensive in the shop. I only took a sip and felt refreshed."
"That's right. I just felt a pain in my waist. Drinking some sugar water will make it better."
Everyone praised the "sugar water" so much that they were reluctant to drink it.
I want to take it home and give it to the elderly, children, and hard-working men to try.
Ye Chutang had no objection, "You are welcome to do as you please."
"Thank you Miss Ye."
Aunt Wang thought that the kitchen in the village had been burned down and she couldn’t cook.
"Miss Ye, I will deliver three meals a day to you before anyone from the Ye family comes."
Ye Chutang knew that Aunt Wang meant well, but she didn't want to torture her stomach, so she refused.
"No, there are vegetables and food in the cellar. I can use stones to build a simple stove and cook."
Seeing her firm attitude, Aunt Wang stopped trying to persuade her.
After the villagers left.
Ye Chutang took out the steaming century egg and lean meat porridge and crispy fried dough sticks from the space and ate them with relish.
In her spare time, she would make some food and store it in the space so that she can eat it whenever she wants.
After eating, I practiced martial arts under the crabapple tree.
She needs to strengthen her body and regain her inner strength.
But the original owner's body was too weak, and after practicing for less than an hour, Ye Chutang felt a little dizzy.
She returned to the east wing, sat cross-legged on the chaise longue, and adjusted her disordered breathing.
After practicing internal strength, it was noon.
After eating a bowl of tomato and beef brisket rice, she went into the space to take a shower and lay on the bed for a nap.
After waking up, Ye Chutang continued to practice.
After dinner, she took a walk around the village to help digest the food.
When they passed by a large warehouse, the guard greeted her, "Hello, Miss."
Ye Chutang recognized him through the original owner's memory.
"Uncle Fu, hasn't the Ye family transported and sold the wheat they harvested earlier?"
The Ye family has a hundred acres of fertile land. They plant wheat in winter and harvest it in late spring, and then plant rice and harvest it in early autumn.
The harvested wheat and rice will be temporarily stored in warehouses.
Uncle Fu and ten guards took turns to guard the place.
When the price is right, the goods will be transported away and sold, and the people guarding the warehouse will return to the Shangshu Mansion.
Uncle Fu replied, "The master was originally going to sell it, but the price of wheat suddenly dropped a lot, so he kept it for the time being."
Hearing this, Ye Chutang became eager to take action.
Although grain production in ancient times was not high, one acre could only produce about 300 kilograms.
But 30,000 kilograms per hundred acres is not a small amount.
Come to stock up in the evening!
As a member of the Ye family, it’s not excessive to take your own things, right?
Ye Chutang exchanged pleasantries with Uncle Fu for a while, and after finding out some information about the Ye family, he returned to the manor.
She practiced until midnight, and when everything was quiet, she came to the warehouse.
Four guards were patrolling outside the warehouse.
She used her earth-related abilities to dig a tunnel and entered the warehouse.
Because the distance was short and the difficulty of digging the tunnel was low, only one merit point was used.
Ye Chutang waved his hand, and more than 30,000 kilograms of wheat entered the space, and a container was almost full.
She redirected the tunnel into the mountains, and because the distance was long, she used two more merit points.
Then he returned the same way and went back to the village to sleep.
Ye Chutang originally wanted to wait for the Ye family to come and repair the farm, and then go back to the Shangshu Mansion with them.
As a result, after three days, the wound on her forehead healed, but she didn't even see the shadow of the Ye family.
The villagers were all talking about it.
It is said that Ye Jingchuan has completely given up on Ye Chutang, who was raised in the countryside, and will not care about her life or death.
It is said that no one in the capital remembers the eldest daughter, and only knows the talented and beautiful second daughter Ye Anling.
They said Ye Chutang was really pitiful. She could never return to the Shangshu Mansion in this life and had to marry a farmer.
Ye Chutang, who hadn't gone out for three days, sneered.
"I will make sure everyone in the capital city remember the name 'Ye Chutang' deeply!"
After that, she packed her luggage and prepared to go to the capital.
As a result, as soon as he left the village, he was stopped by the guards of the Ye family who were guarding the warehouse.
"Miss, you can't go anywhere."
The guard looked at Ye Chutang with surprise, who was so charming even in coarse clothes.
I haven't seen you for a few days. How come the young lady suddenly becomes so beautiful?
Ye Chutang has been practicing martial arts and internal strength recently, and drinking spiritual spring water to nourish his body.
She was no longer a skinny, dark-yellow little girl, but a beautiful lady with icy beauty.
A smile, so charming and graceful.
When the guard was bewitched by Ye Chutang's smile.
She shouted to the villagers who were irrigating rice not far away: "What? Ye Jingchuan wants to starve me to death?"
The guard immediately came to his senses and his face changed drastically.
"Miss, stop talking nonsense, and don't address the master by his name!"
Ye Chutang rolled his eyes and spoke even louder.
"Ye Jingchuan despised me as a village woman and thought I was bringing shame to him. Should I die as a token of my guilt? But wasn't he the one who sent me to the countryside?"
"If it weren't for my mother, Ye Jingchuan wouldn't have the money to go to Beijing to take the exam, nor would he be able to make friends with the rich and powerful, let alone stay in Beijing to work after high school."
"It's fine that Ye Jingchuan used my mother's dowry to take a concubine, but now he wants to kill me in order to get all the dowry. Isn't he afraid of retribution?"
Her voice was like a loud bell, and the whole village could hear it.
Villagers who were watching the show: I didn’t expect Minister Ye to be this kind of person!
The security guard looked at Ye Chutang who was talking nonsense and immediately covered her mouth.
Ye Chutang dodged easily and ran out of the village with his bag on his back.
"Help! Someone is trying to silence me!"
Guardian: “…”
Villagers who were watching the show said: Minister Ye is so heartless that he even killed his own daughter!
The guard chased Ye Chutang while explaining to the villagers.
"The eldest lady is crazy, don't believe her."
The villagers who were watching the show rolled their eyes: If we don’t believe her, should we believe you, a murderer?
Ye Chutang ran to the entrance of the village in one breath and almost collided with the oncoming exquisite carriage.
When she was wondering why a high-end carriage came to the village, she saw the word "Ye" engraved on a wooden sign hanging above the door.
Could it be that the original owner’s scumbag father has come?
