Chi Qiao nodded, "Yes, they'll have plenty of work to do!"
Tell them not to go out and help; we're already too busy here.
The three tasks were: first, to harvest potatoes; second, to build a bridge to the other side of the river; and third, to cultivate land on the other side of the river for vegetables.
Once all of this is done, the rice, wheat, and sorghum in the fields here will also need to be harvested.
Once all of them are harvested, dried, and stored properly, the land must continue to be cultivated.
This whole ordeal will take another ten days to two weeks, by which time the sweet potatoes will also need to be harvested…”
Chi Yu was exasperated. "So, you mean you never have a free moment?"
So much land, and this is the situation even though no grass grows there.
If grass grows, wouldn't people have to spend all their time in the fields?
"That's right! That's why the people who toil in the fields suffer the most and work the hardest, and they don't even earn much money."
However, your older brother and the others will be very busy for a while now.
The main reason is that we have too much land, but only two and a half people who can do the work.
I can barely be considered half a labor force, and you're not even a quarter of that, so you can be ignored.
Speaking of which, Little Fish, if the land area is to continue to increase, shouldn't we think of another way to deal with it?
Putting aside everything else, even if no grass grows in the field, there are still oxen to plow the land, but what about harvesting and planting?
We don't have any machinery; it mainly relies on your older brother and Ah Kang to do it manually. I'm afraid they'll be exhausted.
Think about it carefully and see how to solve this problem.
If all else fails, then tell your second and third brothers.
As for Chi Yu, it was enough that her older brother and Chi Kang knew about the matter of the space.
If other people were added, even her second and third brothers who treated her like a daughter, she would feel a vague sense of rejection.
But she understood that if she wanted to make use of the land, she would have to find labor.
Otherwise, even if the eldest brother and Chi Kang worked day and night, they still wouldn't be able to keep up.
So, upon hearing this, she fell silent.
After a long while, she asked, "Sister, do you think it's okay to tell Second Brother and Third Brother?"
But what will I do if I get married in the future?
Are you going to stay in Chijia'ao and not go anywhere, or are you coming with me with your families?
If I leave Chijia'ao, and leave you and my eldest, second, and third brothers, what should I do with the land in this space?
"Just leave it there, ignoring it?"
Chi Qiao pursed her lips and leaned against the wall for a long while before speaking:
"Little Fish, how about we take care of our own things for a while?"
After you marry Qin Mu, find a suitable opportunity to tell him.
I think Qin Muren is alright, and he's quite intelligent.
If he truly cares about you, he won't do anything to harm you.
With his help, we won't have to worry about these things anymore.
Another thing is, if he does something that is detrimental to you, then you should take Zhuangzhuang and hide in the space.
In that case, there's nothing he can do to you.
As for us, don't worry, we'll find a way to protect ourselves.
"At worst, we can lead our people away from Chijia'ao and head into the deep mountains to the north."
Chi Yu was shocked by her sister's worst-case scenario and felt distressed as well.
If it really comes to that, she'd rather leave the land empty and not plant anything!
Not wanting to continue this heavy topic, Chi Yu quickly changed the subject and asked:
