Sister Han is good at farming

"What are you thinking about? Are you so lost in thought?"

Ruan Shiping, who was sitting next to Ruan Qingqing, saw that Ruan Qingqing hadn't moved her chopsticks for a long time, and couldn't help but frown and ask.

"I was wondering who is so bold as to talk about rebellion in a restaurant. Aren't they afraid of being reported and then going to jail?"

Ruan Qingqing replied.

"Oh, what's that! Where there is oppression, there is resistance. This is a very good saying! During lunch break, the teachers in our college would go to the restaurant to order tea, and then sit together in groups of three or four to listen to stories.

I heard that they would make comments from time to time. Sometimes they would even share their inspirations with students in class.

Ruan Shian looked at Ruan Qingqing as if he was used to it.

Ruan Qingqing looked up in surprise, "Are all the teachers nowadays so eager to learn?"

Ruan Shian puffed out his chest and said, "Of course. Our Master said that we should keep learning until we die. Besides, knowing the world well is knowledge, and knowing the human nature is writing. Don't underestimate one or two small stories. Small stories can reveal great truths."

"It seems that our second brother is doing well in school!" Ruan Qingqing smiled at him.

Ruan Shian's face turned red. "It's all thanks to the teachers who taught me well. I feel like entering the school is like opening up a vast new world! Thank you, big sister, for letting me go to study despite everyone's objections!"

"No need to thank me! After all, there are only so many ways I can help you. If you want to achieve something, it will ultimately depend on you to learn and understand!" Ruan Qingqing put down her chopsticks and spoke to him earnestly.

"Yes, I know, big sister!" Ruan Shian accepted it humbly with a look of learning.

"Second brother, from now on, our family's civil servant position will depend on you!" Ruan Shiping said to Ruan Shian, shaking his legs.

"Brother, why can't you?"

"What are you thinking about! In the future, I, your elder brother, will be awarded a title of nobility and become a prime minister based on my military achievements!" Ruan Shiping said smugly.

"Tsk, you can't even beat my elder sister, and yet you still dare to dream of becoming a marquis or a prime minister!" Ruan Lanlan laughed sarcastically, "You really overestimate your own abilities!"

"I will definitely be able to beat Big Sister before the end of this year!"

Ruan Lanlan rolled her eyes, "Didn't you say something similar last year? Why haven't you fought yet?"

Ruan Qingqing coughed lightly, "In fact, if you want to be a general and be awarded a title of nobility or a prime minister based on your military achievements, it is not enough to just be brave. You must also have courage, strategy, determination, the ability to know how to use people, and the ability to coordinate and take into account all aspects..."

"This..." Ruan Shiping was dumbfounded.

"In short, while you are practicing martial arts, you should also carefully study the notes on deploying troops and commanding subordinates that Brother Chi and Uncle Chi gave you. I heard that the Chi family army back then was no less than the steel Great Wall of Yunqing Country. With them around, other neighboring countries dare not offend again!"

Ruan Qingqing reminded.

"I know, I know!" Ruan Shiping continued to eat.

"Speaking of martial arts, Daya, I heard that County Magistrate Fu and six others started fighting with you again today? Did you even attack them?" Ruan Wantie asked Ruan Qingqing with a frown.

"Oh! What's the point of fighting? It's just a sparring match. I can end the fight with a shoulder throw." Ruan Qingqing said nonchalantly.

Ruan Wantie lowered his head and said slowly, "I don't know what you were thinking. You saved them from Lord Zhou, but you put yourself in such a difficult situation? They have lived in a rich and prosperous place since they were born. How could they have suffered any hardship? How could they have endured any hardship? If you scare them into working like this, I'm afraid something might happen!"

Ruan Qingqing put down her chopsticks again, "Dad, even though Lord Zhou's punishment is very severe, at least it looks like they will be crippled if not dead. But as long as they are not dismissed, they are still our immediate superiors and the parents of the people.

By then, will they hate our family even more? Who can bear it if they find trouble with us from time to time? We can't always trouble Lord Zhou, right? Although you have a fifth-rank official title, you can't do much. Your power is mainly to persuade people to farm and provide methods to increase yields. We are all busy, who has time to guard the dike?"

"This..." Ruan Wantie was speechless. Then he thought, "You are my daughter after all, the relative of a fifth-rank official. They should show mercy, right?"

"Dad, they have been in Qingshui County for less than a year and have achieved a bumper harvest. For this, they were even rewarded by the emperor. This can be said to be the honor we have bestowed upon them!

Then what? In order to save money to buy charcoal in winter, they dared to steal the taxes paid by the common people. Later, they were stopped by Lord Zhou and held a grudge against them. They were determined to find out who was blocking their way to wealth. When they found me, they would send someone to teach me a lesson.

Dad, do you think adults with this attitude will give you face? This is just blocking their way to wealth. If they lie in bed for two or three months, or even longer, with their state of mind, wouldn't everyone have become mortal enemies?

By then, they will probably do their best to make trouble for our family. For them, venting their anger is more important, so why would they care whether I am the daughter of a fifth-rank official or not?"

Ruan Wantie disagreed, "What about you now? Aren't you also doing something that offends people? Don't you see that everyone is very dissatisfied with you? They are all looking for you to fight!"

Ruan Qingqing smiled easily, "Dad, the reason why those officials are like this is that they have never suffered and their character is not tempered. When they finish their work in the past few months, their state of mind will change. In this way, the situation will be more favorable to us."

Ruan Wantie was not optimistic. "You said it was easy, but it's not certain whether the work can be completed in the next few months. Are you sure their state of mind will change? Don't let them focus all their energy on opposing you!"

"It's okay, Dad! As the saying goes, when an enemy comes, we will fight him; when a flood comes, we will block it with earth. There are always more solutions than problems. Dad, you can rest assured!"

"You are such a heartless person!" Ruan Wantie scolded Ruan Qingqing with a smile. "I am your father just worried that something bad will happen to you. You seem to have everything under control."

"Dad, what does this person think about when he is extremely tired?"

"You said you are extremely tired, what else can you think about? After you are full, just fall into bed and sleep! What else can you think about?" Ruan Wantie said unhappily.

"You mean..." Then his mind immediately turned around, "You want them to numb themselves through labor?"

Ruan Qingqing shook her head. "My original intention was to let them get to know the real farmers again through their work, and understand the hardships of us farmers. Only by putting ourselves in our shoes and understanding our difficulties, will they hesitate for a moment when making decisions in the future, instead of intercepting some food whenever they want, regardless of the lives of the people!"
