"Who knows..."
"Let's go, let's go! My land is about to have problems too, we need to hurry up and weed and take care of it!"
The lively crowd gradually dispersed, and others also left. After all, everyone had more to worry about this year than in previous years, and not everyone had the leisure to watch the excitement.
Lin Qixia had ignored them since the argument started.
Right now, he's in the same boat, brainstorming solutions with the system.
"System, do you have any ideas?" she asked the system.
The system reports: "Currently, the wheat plants in this field are stunted, and the ears are withered. Their growth has been hampered by drought, and reduced yields or even a complete crop failure are possible. As for solutions…"
I can offer the host a few options; the host can choose the most suitable method.
"Alright." Lin Qixia breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that the system was willing to provide a solution.
However, the system abruptly changed its tone the next second: "However..."
Lin Qixia's expression stiffened, a bad feeling creeping over her: "But what?" she asked anyway.
System: [The plan is worth 1000 gold coins. Your current gold coin balance of 810 is insufficient to purchase the plan I've provided for treating the wheat.]
Lin Qixia: "..."
"Fine! You ruthless system, pulling this stunt now!"
System: [Please do not launch a "systemic attack" against the system!]
"Ha!" Lin Qixia scoffed.
I was so wicked, but I didn't expect that she wouldn't be angry yet, but the other party would get angry first!
"You're so stingy, you should be grateful I didn't just give up!" She snorted, turned and left the Tian family's wheat field, intending to go back and find a way to earn gold coins.
Upon arriving at the Lin family's courtyard, Lin Qixia packed her things, intending to go up the mountain, since this was currently the easiest way for her to earn gold coins.
However, Lin Qixia stopped after taking only a few steps outside.
"No!" She remembered the bandits she had encountered last time.
Although having Huo Yanqing with me doesn't pose that much of a danger to me.
However, once Huo Yanqing gets into a conflict with someone and kills someone, his "darkening value" increases.
"It seems... I can only rely on myself this time." Lin Qixia murmured, turning around and going back to the courtyard.
Come to think of it, I've gotten too used to using the system to solve problems since I came here.
Sometimes, we shouldn't rely on it too much, lest we be controlled by it.
"What's wrong, Xia'er?" He Zhilan came back from outside and saw Lin Qixia sitting alone under a tree in the yard, looking worried.
"But the Tian family's land is really in bad shape?" she asked Lin Qixia cautiously, vaguely guessing what was going on.
Lin Qixia rested her chin on her hand and forced a smile at her: "Yeah, it is indeed quite tricky."
The main problem was that she hadn't expected the system to offer her any assistance this time, leaving her to rely entirely on herself.
"Don't worry too much." He Zhilan walked over and patted her head. "Even if the Tian family doesn't come over with the land, our Lin family will help Yunxia and her daughter more."
"Really?" Lin Qixia looked up at her, very grateful for her support.
However, since the immediate problem remains unresolved, she is still somewhat down.
“Of course!” He Zhilan responded to Lin Qixia’s words, much more optimistic than her. “Don’t you trust your sister-in-law? She’s very skilled at farming.”
"Even if the Tian family's land doesn't yield a harvest this year, our land will definitely have a harvest, enough to support Yunxia and her daughter."
Lin Qixia murmured, "I naturally believe in my sister-in-law's abilities, but I..."
Lin Qixia's voice stopped abruptly at this point.
Then her eyes lit up, and when she looked at He Zhilan, her face was full of hope. "I've got a solution!"
"Wh-what?" He Zhilan felt uncomfortable under her gaze.
Why is Lin Qixia suddenly looking at her like she's seen some kind of treasure?
She touched her face, somewhat bewildered.
Lin Qixia said, "Sister-in-law, I had almost forgotten. You are my biggest help in solving the problem facing the Tian family's land!"
"Huh? Me? Me?" He Zhilan was taken aback by Lin Qixia's excited reaction and pointed at herself with some doubt.
However, Lin Qixia nodded firmly: "Of course it's you. This time, we're counting on you, sister-in-law!"
Seeing Lin Qixia suddenly perk up and look so energetic, He Zhilan smiled sheepishly.
"Alright, it's already noon." She looked at the sky, then turned to Lin Qixia and said softly, "Are you hungry? I'll go cook for you."
Lin Qixia responded, and seeing He Zhilan turn and leave, she simply followed her.
He started asking her questions non-stop, some detailed questions about the growth of wheat.
He Zhilan might not be able to directly solve Tianjia Maidi's problem, but she has been farming for longer and has more practical experience than Tianjia.
They are also more familiar with the conditions of wheat at each stage.
She could ask He Zhilan, and then combine that knowledge with what she had learned in modern times to summarize and judge, and come up with a solution!
"When we encounter problems like wheat lacking water, we don't really have any good solutions. The simplest but most laborious method is to transport water from afar, which can save as much as we can."
"That's why people say farmers depend on the weather for their livelihood, mainly on rain."
He Zhilan was busy in the kitchen as she spoke, and her mood became somewhat pessimistic towards the end.
Seeing this, Lin Qixia immediately guided her thinking away from that direction, "So, usually after the weather dries up, the ground dries up quickly too, right?"
