The Story of a Destitute Noblewoman Farming

When Lu Linlang walked out of Mancheng's house, the villagers made way for her, fearing that they would offend her.

Seeing the villagers' timid behavior, she sighed in her heart. Sometimes the means to solve problems need to be swift and decisive, and need to be bold and courageous, but such means can only make people submit through high pressure.

In their hearts, they didn't really agree with Lu Linlang getting so angry about a girl's matter, and they didn't understand what was wrong with her so-called preference for boys over girls.

After all, in their cognition, crops are the foundation of their livelihood, and the most important thing about growing crops is strength. A family in a village that has a cow is a rich farmer. How do the rest of the people grow crops? Naturally, it is through manpower, so every family attaches great importance to the birth of male offspring. Without male offspring, the villagers think that the family is extinct.

Therefore, many people naturally use girls as bargaining chips and capital for the marriage of the boys in their family. Even if some families do not have the idea of ​​selling their daughters for fame and fortune, they still hope that their daughters can help their parents' family or get money through betrothal gifts.

This idea is naturally wrong in Lu Linlang's mind, but it is a deeply rooted idea among these people.

If we want to change this idea, it will probably take the efforts of several generations. Only when women can truly hold up half the sky will there be real change, and it cannot be changed by threats.

Knowing is easy, but doing is difficult. It is easy to change a person's wealth, but it is very difficult to change his thinking.

"Linlang girl, don't be angry. This is my fault. I didn't manage the villagers well. They treated Zhaodi like this, which is heartless. I will keep a close eye on them from now on. If anyone else dares to do this, they will be punished. Zhaodi is so young, and she's already thinking about getting married. She can't marry a fool. Isn't this ruining her life?"

The patriarch heard her sigh and said something too.

"Chief, I understand. I'm going to take a walk in the village later. You can go to the paper mill first." Lu Linlang walked alone on another road, looking a little lonely. She originally thought that she could do everything with ease in this ancient time.

She had been somewhat content with her previous business, land purchases, and hiring, but the worry of a possible war had forced her to hurry up again, and conflicting feelings kept going back and forth in her heart.

Before I knew it, I had reached the bamboo forest on the back mountain. A gust of wind blew, and the bamboo leaves rustled. When I stepped on the shed bamboo shells, a heavy sound came.

People say that bamboo is cold and there is always a damp air in the bamboo forest, but at this moment the sunlight shines through the bamboo leaves, emitting a Tyndall effect. Lu Linlang reached out to touch the sunlight, and the warm sunlight shone on her palm.

"The breeze caresses the new bamboo, the sun shines on the green shadow. The green bamboo knows nothing about its intentions, yet it casts its sincere heart upon me."

This forest is her hope and the foundation for many more people to stand on. If she is too anxious, she will lose everything. She suddenly had an idea to heal herself. What role does man play in the torrent of history?

She wanted everything but felt powerless. That only meant that the capital she had now was not enough, so she was so anxious and was hit hard when the villagers she had originally expected did something wrong.

The villagers are like the sunshine and the bamboo forest. Without the nourishment of the sunshine, how can they grow naturally? If a bamboo wants to become a bamboo forest, it takes dozens or even hundreds of years of gradual development. Just like she wants them to get better, that also takes time.

Blindly asking others to follow your footsteps from the beginning without considering the actual situation will only put yourself in a difficult position and make you unpopular.

Knowing is easy, but doing is difficult. If she wants to do it, she should have firm confidence and lead them to move forward firmly, instead of giving up because of a small setback.

After figuring this out, Lu Linlang looked at the bamboo forest with a different mentality this time. The bamboo shadows were silent, and the breeze was blowing. This forest was the starting point of Xishan Village, but not their end point. She should take one step at a time. Talking about change before having enough power would only make people resist.

The war in the north was weighing on her mind. With her current status, she couldn't do much. She had reminded everyone that needed to be reminded. No matter whether it was an open or covert struggle or a life-and-death struggle in the court, if they encountered enemies at the border, they would unite against the outside world. There were so many knowledgeable people in Daqi, so why should she worry too much?

There is not much movement at the border now, and she is also keeping an eye on the situation there. If the enemy's iron hoofs really go south, her first thing to do is to protect her family and friends.

"Sister, so you are here." There was a noise behind her. Lu Linlang turned around and saw that it was Yun Yi, Yun Xi, Lu Zhan and Yun Can who came to see her.

"We heard from the tribe leader that you were very angry about that incident and wanted to go out for a walk alone. We asked people and found out that you came to the back mountain. We walked all the way here, and sure enough, you are here."

"Sister, we've all heard about what happened to Zhaodi's family. Don't worry, we'll protect Zhaodi and her sister at the academy. If her family dares to force her to marry a fool again, we won't let it go. Zhaodi is very insightful in her studies at the academy. Even my eldest brother and Master Li praised her, saying that if she were a man, she might have a chance to take the imperial examination in the future. But as long as she studies hard, she might even be able to support a family business in the future."

Lu Zhan is a member of the Lu family and a man with a title. Everyone in the village knows one thing: Lu Linlang must not be provoked. Master Yun is a scholar and they dare not provoke him. Yun Xi is a doctor and he holds their lifeline. Yun Can is also strong in martial arts, so the children in the school have been told by their families not to provoke them.

Only Xiong Cuihua wanted her daughter to pave the way for her son, without caring about family affection at all. This time, she was threatened by Lu Linlang and the clan leader, and then she realized what she had done.

"Well, it's great to have you guys."

"Sister, why did you come to the back mountain? I heard there are snakes in this forest. You have to be careful. Some people also say that behind this bamboo forest is the area where wild animals live. Some people have seen wild boars and jackals running out before, and some have heard the roar of tigers. Lu Zhan, how about we come hunting another day and drive away those wild boars and jackals?"

Yun Can looked at the forest, his mind full of strange ideas, and he changed the subject with great interest.

"Hey, hey, hey, sister, stop pulling my ears, they're going to fall off." His expectant expression was pinched by Lu Linlang, and he suddenly became that little kid again.

"You're so brave at such a young age! You want to chase away wolves and even hunt tigers? Tigers are so dangerous! Don't get carried away! Stay in the village and study. Don't go deep into the mountains. You can't even handle wolves, let alone tigers. If you dare go, I'll break your legs."

"Sister, we were just joking. We don't dare, we don't dare. Even Uncle Zhong and the others don't dare to fight the tiger, so how could we dare?" Lu Zhan was secretly glad that he had not had time to respond just now, otherwise he would be the one having his ears twisted.

His sister has one trick up her sleeve. The way she deals with the two of them is to twist their ears, which just looks painful.

"Sister is right. If you dare to go, I will complain to you. Anyway, even if I break your legs, I can still reconnect them. It will just be a little painful, but it won't have much of an impact." Yunxi smiled, as if she was still looking forward to them going.
