After becoming an animal, I also have to farm

"You stupid kid, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and call your mother!"

Zhenniang stared blankly at the bride in front of her who was only a few years older than her and was wearing a bright red wedding dress. She couldn't utter that word.

Yes, her biological mother was dead, and the man in front of her was the one her father had just betrothed for ten taels of silver.

Zhenniang had always been used to being submissive, and after being pushed roughly by her father several times, she finally gave in and cried out.

Zhenniang was in a trance until she was allowed to leave.

She didn't know what she had just done, she just remembered that the land in the backyard still needed her care.

Ever since she obtained the treasures of heaven and earth from Lord Shenlong on the coast, Zhenniang has never dared to forget Shenlong's instructions for a single day.

Eight round treasures of different shapes were buried in the ground, and Zhenniang began to guard them day and night.

Lord Shenlong is right, you will discover their benefits when you harvest them.

Zhenniang hugged her knees with her arms and couldn't help crying.

If my mother could hold on a little longer, until she could grow this baby, would she not die?

But the bride has already entered the house, and the days are pushed forward and there is no turning back.

Zhenniang's father and brother went out to sea to fish again. They hoped to find the remains of a dragon on the coast this time.

In this way, they could use the dragon meat and dragon bones they had robbed to exchange for silver from rich people and then use them to buy wine and meat.

All the family expenses recently were paid with the dragon meat, dragon heads and dragon bones they snatched from the villagers at the beach!

Unfortunately, they were not so lucky this time and could only shift their attention to the sea.

The two also felt that the wind and waves were too strong today, resulting in them only catching a few sporadic small fish and shrimps.

Zhenniang's father cursed the damn weather and had to pick up some kelp washed up by the sea on the beach with his eldest son.

The two men returned home dejectedly, carrying the fish catch that could not even fill the net bag.

Seeing Zhenniang still hiding in the vegetable garden fiddling with her green vegetables, Zhenniang's brother glanced at her with disdain.

After taking a cold shower, he said to Zhenniang,

"Second sister, instead of doing nothing all day, you should learn how to embroider and make clothes like Lanlan from the village head's daughter.

Not only is she beautiful, but she's also talented and versatile. Only then will Dad find you a good family to marry into."

Zhenniang's father also had the same idea. He thought that his daughter was a money-losing commodity and would be married off and sold soon anyway, so he quickly found a rich family to sell her to.

Seeing her acting so nervous every day, fiddling with those weird-looking vines in the vegetable garden all day, he felt annoyed!

As spring turned to autumn, Zhenniang's vegetable garden grew bigger and bigger.

Before the marriage was decided and she was going to get married next spring, Zhenniang planted more and more crops and harvested more and more.

That small piece of vegetable field has now been expanded a lot. No one would have thought that the crop yield from less than five mu of land could fill eight large baskets!

This amount of food is enough for their family of four to eat throughout the winter, and even enough to last until the next spring when the fields are full of wild vegetables!

Zhenniang's father and brother suddenly felt their eyes burning with excitement and their hearts beating fast, realizing that this magical treasure had actually fallen into the hands of their Chen family!

This time, with her father's consent, Zhenniang planted sweet potatoes on one acre of land at home, and planted potatoes on the remaining half acre.

The planting methods were all told to her by Lord Shenlong, and Zhenniang recited them every day and dared not forget them.

Last year, by chance, Zhenniang discovered that the vines on the ground could take root in the soil by themselves, and she began to think about whether she could use the vines to plant directly.

The subsequent experiments were very successful, and Zhenniang didn't even realize that she had mastered the art of cuttings without any instruction...

The longer the crops in the field grow, the better the yield.

Zhenniang was so happy that her heart was pounding when she saw that she had harvested 500 kilograms of sweet potatoes and potatoes from one acre of land.

Unexpectedly, the output of these two treasures of heaven and earth is exactly as the dragon god said!

You should know that in previous years, her family could only harvest a hundred kilograms of rice per acre of land, but now the harvest has increased by more than five times!

It is directly equivalent to the harvest from one acre of land her family grows, and is equal to the harvest from five acres of land grown by other families. How could Zhenniang's family not be tempted?

But Zhenniang never dared to forget the last words of Lord Shenlong. After confirming that the yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes was indeed high, she was able to solve the villagers' problem of having enough food.

Zhenniang suggested that her father and brother go to the village head together to promote these crops in the village first.

However, the always clever brother suddenly had an idea. He glanced at Zhenniang and smiled sinisterly.

"Zhenniang, you are so stupid! You have such a good thing, but you actually want to share it with others?

We'll plant a few more acres of land this year and sell it to them. Do you know how much meat and wine we can get in return?!"

Zhenniang wanted to refuse and insisted, but her tough father silenced her by waving a wooden stick.

"How can a girl have such wild thoughts?

What can you get by giving this thing to others?

I think you shouldn't get married. Wouldn't it be better for you to stay at home and farm the land so you can earn some meat?"

Zhenniang's refusal was thus suppressed by her father and brother.

Zhenniang was very desperate, fearing that Lord Shenlong's last wish would be fulfilled by her.

Once, he sneaked out of the house to find out the situation and prepare to run away.

Zhenniang was walking in a hurry and bumped into a man in a purple robe.

Zhenniang knew that it was impossible for common people like them to wear colored robes.

And she had only seen the county magistrate wearing a blue robe when he was out on patrol.

Zhenniang seemed to see hope, and she stepped forward and knelt down.

"I, Zhenniang, greet you, sir! Sir, please allow me to report something!"

He Zhen never expected that he would meet such a strange woman when he went out for a visit on a whim.

She took me to where she was farming, pulled out a plant directly from the ground, and held up the tuber weighing more than ten pounds underneath to explain,

"Master He, this thing is called sweet potato, and I got it from Shenlong.

This plant is a treasure of heaven and earth. After cultivation, it can produce 500 kilograms per mu.

My Lord, can you please give this treasure to the court so that all people in the world can have enough food to eat?"

Rumors suddenly began to spread in the small county town that Zhenniang, the daughter of the fishing Chen family, had used her clever tricks to hook up with the new Lord He!

She transformed herself into not only Lord He's concubine, but also returned to Kyoto with Lord He.

Everyone sighed, and the villagers' eyes were red with envy for Zhenniang's father and brother.

Everyone wanted to know how much betrothal gifts and treasures Lord He had left for his family.

Only Zhenniang's father was filled with deep regret, beating his chest and stamping his feet, sitting on the ground and cursing non-stop.

"This little whore actually ran off with someone! She didn't even leave any money for the family. I've really raised her for nothing for all these years!
