The busy farming season is finally over. Everyone has been working hard for more than half a month, and they can finally rest.
In the evening, to reward all her family members, Lin Qixia specially asked the system to buy several more jars of wine, as well as the roast chicken she had bought from the town a few days ago under the pretext of buying it.
Actually, she bought it from the system because she hasn't had much time to cook lately.
"Sister-in-law, don't skimp on the food tonight. Make plenty of meat so everyone can have a good meal," Lin Qixia said to He Zhilan as she helped out.

It's best if things between her and Huo Yanqing never develop in that direction.

However, their joy didn't last long.
During the evening celebration dinner, two constables suddenly appeared outside the courtyard.
"Oh, you've finished harvesting your wheat too?" One of the middle-aged men poked his head in, glanced greedily at the bags of wheat, and then noticed the food and wine on their table, his face showing surprise.
