In the valley, Ning Xiangqiao listened to Lin Mo's description and her expression suddenly became clear.
So this is why she has been disliked by Ning's parents for the past few years since she lost her memory.
Over the years, she was not only scolded at home, but after marrying into the family, most of the money from the handkerchiefs she secretly had her family sell was embezzled by her older brother and sister.
No wonder they sold so many handkerchiefs, yet only earned ten taels of silver over the years.
If it weren't for Old Madam Gongsun recognizing her skills and Lin Mo finding out the news, she probably would still be kept in the dark.
"Xiang Niangzi, what do you plan to do?" Old Madam Gongsun leaned on her cane, her aged gaze falling upon her.
“Ancestor, I must reclaim my identity. This name is not mine, so I will naturally not live under the name of the Ning family anymore.”
Those people have deceived her to this extent, so naturally she can't just swallow her anger.
"However, Ancestor, I think that since the Ning family was able to take my place, all the things I had before I lost my memory must have fallen into their hands. If we want to know where my real home is and what my former identity was, we probably need to investigate further without alerting them."
Ning Xiangqiao was indeed very angry at first, because the suffering she had endured over the years was actually someone else's life.
But later I calmed down. What's done is done, and there's no way to undo it. So I thought I should try to get everything she has back.
What if we alert the enemy and the Ning family does something bad, destroying her identity plaque and other things?
All we know is that her former name was Shen Wanxin, but that's useless. There are so many Shen Wanxins and so many Shen families in the world, who knows which one is her real home?
"Xiang Niangzi, you should indeed be more cautious, but with Momo and Cui Niangzi around, everything will be fine." Old Madam Gongsun nodded.
"And there's also Lady Yi. She can pull items into the shadows. Once we find out what you lost, we'll have Lady Yi retrieve all your things."
Ning Xiangqiao smiled gratefully. She felt that these past few days had been like a dream, so wonderful!
"Thank you, Mountain Goddess!" she prayed devoutly with her eyes closed.
Grandma Gongsun, who was standing nearby, also smiled and walked over to look at the fields in the valley.
Today, there are 20 acres of black soil in the valley, of which 10 acres are planted with cotton and the other 10 acres have been replaced with sweet potatoes.
She touched one of the sweet potato leaves with her hand, looking surprised.
"These sweet potatoes grow really fast. They matured in less than three days, even earlier than cotton."
Grandma Gongsun could not see the sweet potatoes underground, but she could sense the emotions of plants. With just a light touch, she could tell whether these crops were ripe or not.
"They're ripe so quickly?" Lin Mo, who was standing next to her, was also very surprised. "Then I'll go find someone to come and harvest the sweet potatoes first. We haven't even eaten much of the grain we bought before, and now with these extra sweet potatoes, we probably won't have to worry about food this winter."
"Great-grandmother, how much do you think these ten acres of sweet potatoes will yield? Master Le said that sweet potatoes are a high-yield crop and can produce a lot of grain!"
Grandma Gongsun, who was standing next to her, had never seen this kind of food before, and she shook her head.
"It should be similar to taro, right?"
Before long, the men from the other village who were working came running over, all of them beaming with joy.
But what these farmers love most is harvesting grain. They harvest grain every two or three days, and everyone is overjoyed.
"Don't tell anyone how fast these crops in the valley are ripening. If anyone asks, just say they were all bestowed by the Mountain Goddess." After these people arrived, Lin Mo skillfully gave them these instructions.
A group of men nodded repeatedly. Some of them might not be smart, but they were definitely not stupid. How could they possibly shout about something like this?
"Little sister Mo, how many of these sweet potatoes do you think we can use? Can we exchange them for contribution points?" They couldn't wait any longer.
"Let's see how many you dig up. If there are a lot, then you can exchange some of them for yourselves." Lin Mo wasn't sure either.
She thought that this kind of sweet potato was actually a high-yield crop, and its yield must be more than that of normal grains.
These farmers typically harvest one or two shi of grain, with better fields yielding three shi.
One shi is 120 jin. This kind of sweet potato can probably yield 5 shi? Or even more, more than 1,000 jin, which is a harvest that many people can't even imagine in their lifetime.
Grandma Gongsun also guessed that it was one or two thousand catties, and she felt that the grain seeds bestowed by the Mountain Goddess must be different.
To everyone's astonishment, the yield of this one acre of sweet potatoes was astounding.
Looking at the piles of sweet potatoes that had just been dug up and were stacked into small mountains, everyone's mouths remained agape.
"My goodness, that's a lot of grain!"
"These ten acres of land should be enough to feed us for several months!"
"A few months? That's enough to ensure we don't have to worry about food next year. Just think how fast the sweet potatoes ripen inside this valley!"
A group of people wished they could crawl into the pile of sweet potatoes and roll around in it; these were life-saving foods!
"So many, how are we going to weigh them?" Even Lin Mo, who was somewhat prepared, was a little dumbfounded.
There must be tens of thousands of kilograms of sweet potatoes, right?
"The sweet potatoes are ripe, right? I'm here!" Le Bai rushed out of the tunnel, his head still covered in dust.
He rushed over as soon as get out of class ended, without even taking a break, as if he wanted to fly over immediately.
This is his paradise!
"Master Le, how many kilograms do you think these sweet potatoes weigh?" Lin Mo asked excitedly.
