Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

Thinking of the high-yield rice in Longtan that bent the rice stalks, Chen Gu said, "They have already harvested the first crop of rice. Dad, do you know how much the yield per mu is?"

"One hundred and eighty." Chen Xianming said without thinking. There are large tracts of high-quality farmland in Longtan, so it is not surprising that the yield is high.

"No, the yield per mu is 200 kilograms."

Chen Xianming's face flashed with sarcasm, "What a joke, the best veteran among us can only produce 10 to 80 yuan at best."

"Dad, you once told me that there is always someone better than you, but now that person has appeared, and you refuse to believe it. Look at this?" Chen Gu pointed at the thresher in front of him.

"really?"

Chen Gu kicked off his shoes and pulled open his shirt to show him, "You should teach your son to see for himself. I have seen it myself in the fields."

Chen Xianming took two steps back in disgust, "Put on your shoes quickly, what a mess. What does Longtan mean?"

After putting his shoes back on, Chen Gu casually wiped his hands on his clothes, which immediately made Chen Xianming want to throw him out.

"The Lord Mayor of Longtan County asked me to ask you if you are willing to cooperate with them?" Chen Gu said.

Chen Xianming drank the tea in the cup and put it heavily on the table.

"Butler, prepare the car, let's go to Longtan."

Nanzhou Prefecture.

"Mom, I know I was wrong. Please ask my father to let me out. I am almost sick from staying in the house every day."

Yu Xunmei hugged her mother's arm and acted coquettishly, her voice soft and honest.

Yu's mother tapped her forehead with her finger and said, "Are you trying to trick me again?"

"How could that be? From now on, I will listen to you, father, and never cause any trouble to you two. If I can't do that, I will let the sky thunder... Hmm."

Yu Xunmei's fair and beautiful face was puffed up with anger. She was about to raise her hand to swear, but her mother covered her mouth with her hand.

"Child, what nonsense are you talking about? As long as you don't do anything wrong in the future, how can your mother not help you?" Yu's mother was really worried about her daughter.

She was very cute when she was little, but since when did her personality become increasingly deviant?

"Mother still loves me the most." Yu Xunmei hugged her mother.

"You and your parents only have your eldest brother and you two children. When you get married in the future, you must think more about your eldest brother and never do anything reckless."

Yu Xunmei's face froze, her cuteness and adorableness disappeared in an instant, and the clarity in her eyes gradually turned into a thick hatred that could not be dissolved.

Why must she be married off? Isn't the Yu family rich enough?

Thanks to Yu's mother's intercession in front of Yu's father, Yu Xunmei's house arrest was lifted, but she was not allowed to leave the house at will. A special embroiderer was hired to learn women's work, in the hope that she could make clothes and shoes for her husband before she married in Cangwu.

Yu Xunmei had no choice but to study hard every day.

In the side courtyard of the Yu Mansion, Yu Qiutao tightly grasped the purse in her hand and let it go. This was the only fifty taels she had left.

"Brother, are you sure the other party didn't lie to you?"

Lin Chaohui grabbed the purse with all his strength. "That man is also the manager of the Yu Family Farm. He said that this business is a sure thing. He asked me to join because of you. He will definitely not cheat me."

"That……"

Yu Qiutao wanted to say something else, but Lin Chaohui waved his hand impatiently.

"I can't stay in the inner courtyard for long. It's not good to be seen by others."

With these fifty taels, he believed that he would be able to make his money back soon. As for the manager of the farm trying to get him to join the business, that was completely false.

He has no foundation and no capital. Who would look up to him in this unfamiliar Nanzhou Prefecture?

Working in the Yu family, if his sister wasn't pregnant now, anyone could step on him.

Yu Xunmei walked through the hanging flower gate and saw Lin Chaohui disappearing at the end of the corridor. There was a smile on her face, and her beautiful eyes were curved with a smile, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

The maid shuddered inexplicably, but she asked, "Miss, what makes you so happy?"

Retracting her gaze, Yu Xunmei glanced at the maid beside her and said lightly, "Nothing, I'll go sit with Aunt Yu, you wait for me here."

The maid felt a chill down her spine when she looked at her. She immediately stepped back a few steps and bowed with her head lowered.

"Yes."

She had been sleeping very soundly at night recently, almost sleeping until dawn, for she was afraid that the young lady would sue her for negligence in front of the lady and get punished, so she turned a blind eye to many of the young lady's strange behaviors and did not report them to the lady one by one.

Yu Qiutao was sitting in the house sulking. She had entered the Yu family as a concubine and received only two taels of silver as a monthly allowance, which was almost all used to support her parents' family. Her brother and mother would come to ask for money every few days.

Looking at the few pieces of jewelry in the jewelry box, she sighed deeply.

"Why is Aunt Yu sighing alone?"

The sudden voice startled Yu Qiutao. When she turned around and saw that it was the eldest lady, she quickly stood up with the help of the table and bowed to her.

"The eldest lady is here."

Yu Xunmei covered her mouth with a handkerchief, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes. It was really vulgar for a country woman to perform such an inappropriate greeting.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. I came to see you." Yu Xunmei took her hand and sat down on the chair.

She looked at Yu Qiutou's gradually growing belly, and then looked around the house, "Why is the house so plain? Has Big Brother not come to see you for a while?"

Yu Qiutao lowered her head, with both sweetness and resentment in her eyes.

"My wife said that I am pregnant now, so she won't let you come to my room anymore."

"She is so bold, and my brother will listen to her?" Yu Xunmei knew very well what kind of person his elder brother was.

Suddenly hearing someone speaking up for her, Yu Qiutao's eyes suddenly became hot and her tone sounded even more aggrieved.

"Every day when the master came back, she would ask the maid to call him away early."

Not only is he rude, he is also stupid and can't even compete for favor.

"I have a way to make Big Brother come to your place more often." Yu Xunmei threw an attractive bait to her.

"What method?" Yu Qiutao raised her eyebrows when she heard this, her eyes full of anxiety.

Yu Xunmei leaned closer and whispered in her ear in a low voice.

Yu Qiutao's eyes widened in disbelief after hearing this, "Is this possible?"

"Believe it or not, why would I lie to you?" Yu Xunmei pretended to leave.

Yu Qiutao quickly pulled her back and said flatteringly, "Of course I believe what the young lady says."

Yu Xun gave her a glare, took out an oil-paper bag from his sleeve and stuffed it into her hand.

"It's up to you whether you can seize the opportunity."

"Thank you, miss."

The sun gradually sets and a gorgeous sunset glows across the sky.

After a busy day, Yu Shicheng prepared to return to the backyard to have dinner with Fan Yuejia. He only had one concubine, Yu Qiutao. Since she became pregnant, his wife said that she was too heavy to serve him. As he and his wife were newly married, he enjoyed the food and put all his energy on Fan Yuejia.

"Uncle." Yu Qiutao called out tenderly.

Fearing that the maid might do something bad, she personally waited for Yu Shicheng at the archway with hanging flowers.

She is good-looking, wearing an orange-pink dress today. After entering the Yu family, she has taken good care of herself, and her skin has become a lot whiter. Now that she is pregnant, her whole body is rounder and more curvaceous, and her eyes are like a tempting dessert.

Yu Shicheng's throat tightened upon seeing this, and he hurried forward to hold her waist, his hands unconsciously sliding to her plump buttocks and squeezing them hard.
