Those who had planted watermelon seedlings before knew how to do it, so Mu Yi'an explained it to the Li family father and sons, while the others who were not familiar with it listened along.
With more people, the work gets done. Just past noon, the thirty acres of land were already planted with melon seedlings.
"Shuyun, is this alright?"
"Grandpa, that's fine. Keep an eye on them, and if any die, just replant some seedlings. Keep some seedlings at home for replanting, and distribute the rest after dinner so you can go back and plant them."
"Why eat? We're not eating. We'll take the melon seedlings and plant them later. Look at the sky, it might rain tonight."
Grandpa has no appetite; he wants to plant the melon seedlings as soon as possible so he can have peace of mind.
Mu Yi'an looked at everyone and saw that they were all in agreement; they were all anxious.
"Alright, let's go to your house. I'll get you some melon seedlings. You already know how to plant them. You've prepared everything I asked you to prepare before, right?"
"Everything is ready, it won't cause any delays."
Mu Yi'an led his people back home and distributed the melon seedlings that had been prepared in advance, with each family receiving seventy or eighty seedlings.
Whether they were from the Wang family or the Jiang family, they carefully carried their allotted melon seedlings home, as if they were holding golden babies.
The villagers were filled with envy as they watched them take melon seedlings from Xiao Jiang's house, regretting that they hadn't cultivated a good relationship with Xiao Jiang's family back then.

At the Jiang family's old house, Jiang's father was in the school, Jiang's eldest brother was studying, and Jiang's sister-in-law knew that Mu Yi'an was planting watermelon seedlings today, but she didn't move an inch or go to help.
"Mom, where's my sister-in-law? She brought the watermelon seedlings back, hurry up and plant them!"
"Eldest daughter-in-law, hurry up and come out to plant melon seedlings."
"Mother, why don't you ask the servants of my second brother's family to help plant them? There are only a few, it won't take much effort."
"Why don't you just give the money to Shuyun directly? What are you thinking about all day long? Even Yi'an personally goes to work in the fields, and you still want to reap without sowing?"
Jiang's mother was really afraid that Shuyun and the others would hear these words, and that the bond between the brothers would be worn away.
Even though Sister-in-law Jiang was unwilling, she had no choice but to take the melon seedlings and plant them in the vegetable garden.
As for how it will turn out, that remains to be seen.
The Jiang Shuwen couple, who lived in the vegetable garden next door, didn't care about Jiang Dasao. They thought that as long as they didn't cause trouble for their parents, they were being filial.
Despite being heavily pregnant, Qiu Niang still did all the preliminary work. In contrast, her sister-in-law didn't want to do anything and just wanted to rely on others—she was really dreaming.
