Shenjia Village was in an uproar again, this time because of the bumper rice harvest at Shen Mingzhu's family. People said that the Shen family's third branch had good luck, and even their fields were different from those of other families.

Some people also say that everyone in the third branch of the Shen family is very capable and smart, and even the land of the third branch is productive.

What's more, it was rumored everywhere that one day he saw green smoke coming out of the ancestral grave of the Shen family, and that the third branch of the Shen family was going to become completely wealthy.

The man made the story sound very convincing, saying that he was passing by the grave of Old Man Shen's father, and suddenly a gust of wind blew. He turned around and saw a wisp of green smoke coming out from the grave of Old Man Shen's father, which scared him a lot.

Now that I think about it, it was the smoke coming out of the Shen family’s ancestral grave.

There is also a rumor that when Old Man Shen's father was buried, five-colored soil was dug out during the digging of the grave, and the descendants of Old Shen's family were about to enjoy a good life.

There are various versions, and they are all told vividly and realistically.

When the Shen family heard these rumors, they didn't care and continued their harvesting business.

Now, not only people from Shenjia Village come to help, but even the elderly from other villages come to watch the fun.

There were a lot of people surrounding Shen Mingzhu's rice field, which caused great inconvenience to Shen Mingzhu and her colleagues' harvesting.

Seeing that more and more people were coming, Old Man Shen stepped forward to drive the crowd away, telling them to watch but not to cause trouble for their family.

For the first time, Old Man Shen felt the trouble that came with being famous, and reluctantly pushed people back.

Several village heads from neighboring villages also came. When they saw so many rice ears on the rice stalks, they opened their eyes wide in disbelief and wanted to go forward to check whether the grains of the rice ears were really so full.

Shen Mingzhu and Old Man Shen had no choice but to ask them to go aside and not disturb their family from harvesting rice.

Seeing these people surrounding him and refusing to move away, Shen Mingyu, who had a bad temper, got mad and yelled, "Get out of the way quickly, or you'll be like this stone."

Shen Mingyu clapped his hands, and the rock in front of him, which was bigger than him, was instantly smashed into pieces.

The noisy crowd suddenly became quiet, and everyone stared at Shen Mingyu in amazement, their faces full of disbelief.

Is this a six-year-old child? Can a six-year-old child smash such a big stone?

Is this an illusion? Even an adult can't smash this big rock directly!

Shen Mingyu put his hands on his waist and shouted to the crowd:

"You guys are disturbing my harvest. Please get out of my way. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

Everyone then realized that the big rock in front of them was actually broken into pieces by the little kid from the Shen family.

Thinking of the fate of the stone, everyone unconsciously took a few steps back, shocked.

Some people even cursed in their hearts:

"What the hell, what kind of freak has come out of the Shen family? Even this little brat is stronger than me, it's fucking terrifying."

Old man Shen came back to his senses from his shock, pushed through the crowd, walked in front of Shen Mingyu, and said to everyone:

"You can watch if you want, but don't block my autumn harvest. When our harvest per acre comes out, I will tell you this year's output. If you insist on blocking our way, don't blame me for being rude."

Someone in the crowd asked, "Mr. Shen, your rice has come out, can you sell us some seeds?"

Shen Mingzhu was angry and stepped forward and scolded:

"Don't push your luck."

When the villagers of Shenjia Village saw Shen Mingzhu getting angry, they stood up, picked up the farm tools in their hands, and glared at those greedy people.

Those people from other villages who wanted to take advantage of the situation shut their mouths unwillingly when they saw how united the people of Shenjia Village were in protecting the Shen family.

When these people's eyes fell on the rubble that Shen Mingyu had just crushed, they couldn't help but shudder and dared not block the people from Shenjia Village from harvesting.

Upon seeing this, the village chief pulled the heads of several other villages aside and told them how powerful the Shen family was. He then asked them to take their villagers back first and talk about the seeds later.

When the village heads heard this, they realized that the Shen family was not easy to deal with, so they all agreed to take their villagers back to the village.

Just as the crowd was dispersing, County Magistrate Zhang, accompanied by Chief Secretary Wang and Captain Zhang, arrived at Shenjia Village in disguise.

County Magistrate Zhang learned from the people he had passed by that Shen Ruhai's family had an astonishingly high rice yield.

Only then did he realize that the rice produced by Shen Ruhai's family was so productive that he had never imagined.

County Magistrate Zhang was overjoyed and quickened his pace.

When he passed by a mountain, he suddenly saw a series of stone ladders on the two opposite peaks, going down from top to bottom, which was very strange.

Magistrate Zhang pointed at the mountain and asked Chief Secretary Wang curiously:

"Master Wang, the last time we came to Shenjia Village, the two mountains across the way didn't look like this, right?"

Wang Zhubu also noticed the mountain on the opposite side, and he replied truthfully:

"Well, last time we came for drinks, it wasn't like this."

Magistrate Zhang became even more curious: "In such a short time, the two mountains have become like this. Why did they do this?"

Wang Zhubu also didn't understand why so many ladders were suddenly built on those two mountains.

He thought for a moment and said, "Those two peaks seem to be bought by Shen Ruhai for his daughter Shen Mingzhu. How about we go ask Shen Ruhai later?"

Magistrate Zhang nodded and said, "I do need to ask. The Shen family has given me so many surprises that I am a little overwhelmed."

Wang Zhubu lowered his head and said nothing. He was thinking about the Shen family when he heard County Magistrate Zhang say with a smile:

"Let's go and see if the Shen family will give us another big surprise this time."

County Magistrate Zhang asked a passerby and followed the direction the passerby pointed to reach the fields.

He could see the busy scene in the distant farmland from a distance, and he felt very pleased.

Under Zhang Guanghua's rule, farmers were able to have a good harvest and people were able to have enough food to eat, which was the greatest affirmation of him as a parent official.

Shen Mingzhu had sharp ears and eyes, and she spotted Magistrate Zhang and his two companions at a glance.

She did not go forward to greet him, but went to tell her father and grandfather.

Shen Laosan glanced in the direction of County Magistrate Zhang and said, "Let's continue harvesting and pretend we didn't see anything."

Shen Mingzhu nodded. Harvesting rice was the most important thing. If the magistrate wanted to watch, let him watch.

County Magistrate Zhang first walked to the place where the rice was piled, picked up a rice ear at random, and twisted open the rice husk with his hands.

When he saw the pearl-like, crystal clear, plump and round rice grain inside, his eyes widened instantly.

He had never seen such plump rice. Even in the capital, there were no rice grains so round.

Magistrate Zhang couldn't believe it. He twisted open all the rice grains on the rice ear in his hand and found that the rice grains in each grain were very full, without a single empty husk.

He was shocked and asked Wang Zhubu: "Have you ever seen rice of this quality?"

Wang Zhubu shook his head, feeling as shocked as County Magistrate Zhang.

What you hear from others is completely different from what you see with your own eyes.

The Shen family really grew a unique kind of rice, it’s amazing!

County Magistrate Zhang put the rice grains in his mouth, tasted them, and found that the rice grains actually exuded a faint fragrance. This fragrance seemed to have a magical power to tempt people, making people want to taste it.

Magistrate Zhang was extremely shocked:

"What kind of rice is this? It actually emits a fragrance?"

When he thought of the fragrant white rice and smelled the aroma of rice, County Magistrate Zhang felt a little hungry.

He swallowed and looked at Shen Mingzhu and the others who were harvesting rice.

At this time, Shen Mingyu and Shen Mingbao, who were guarding the rice, came over.

Shen Mingyu recognized Magistrate Zhang at a glance and shouted:

"Dad, Grandpa, the county magistrate is here."

County Magistrate Zhang looked at Shen Mingyu's running figure and walked towards the farmland with some amusement.
