The Story of a Destitute Noblewoman Farming

"Brother Manjin, let's do it ourselves. My sister said that if we don't know the hard work of farming, we won't cherish the hard-earned life we ​​have now. I can endure this little hardship, but this is my first time following you in the autumn harvest, so I'm a little tired."

When Lu Zhan heard his words, he shook his head and refused, taking the opportunity to straighten his back and relax.

"The boss is doing this for your own good. You're going to be a high-ranking official in the future. People say officials are supposed to work for the people. Although I haven't met many good officials, I don't want anyone from our Lu family to become a corrupt official. Those people are so high and mighty, they don't know how hard we work as farmers. We have to pay taxes every year. Oh, it's so hard. If it weren't for the boss's help this year, I'm afraid we would still be tightening our belts like in previous years."

Lu Manjin was also grateful to Lu Linlang. If it weren't for her, he would still be digging in the fields for a living. They only lived a better life than the villagers because of his father. However, in order to allow the three brothers to go to school, his father had gritted his teeth and worked hard over the years.

So because of the incident with Mancheng's family, Mancang was asked to go back. Everyone saw it and thought that the Mancheng family was confused. Although the owner was powerful, she was also a girl. She had raised the Dahua sisters before, and later she insisted on letting the girls go to school. It can be seen that she values ​​the girls in the village.

What the Mancheng family did at this time was to go against her, telling them that if they had such a big family business, anyone who dared to go against them would never have a chance to come back in this life.

But the boss gave them a chance, also because they were from the same clan. It was not known whether the Mancheng family would change this time. When Mancang learned the news, the 17 or 18-year-old boy went home crying.

"Brother Manjin, I won't blame my sister. She's the best person to us. She does all this for our own good. We're not ungrateful. If anyone bullies my sister, that's disrespecting me, Lu Zhan. I'm going to teach him a lesson on my sister's behalf."

Lu Zhan is no longer a child. He knows how difficult it is for his sister to take care of so many things. Originally, his sister could make money by herself, but she chose to help the villagers. This was also for his future. An elder sister is like a mother. He was a bastard before, but after going through so many things, he has figured it out.

"That's good, that's good. This acre of land is now yours. I'll go and harvest that side."

Manjin left with a smile. He was not originally responsible for this piece of land. He came to help because he saw that none of them were suitable for farm work. Dahua and Erhua were still young and did not have as much physical strength as boys. Seeing that he had no dissatisfaction, he took the sickle and left.

Only Lu Zhan and a few others were left feeling a little stunned. This acre of land was too big and they had not even harvested half of it. "Don't go, Brother Man Jin!" they asked. However, out of respect as men, they were too embarrassed to call him back.

Lu Linlang has now gone to check on the situation in other experimental fields. She has adopted several methods and divided the fields into several areas. The rice harvested in each area must be separated for comparison.

"The rice grown this way seems to be better than the one over there. I see this sack of rice, it's quite heavy." The farmhands have been working on this farm for so long and have been looking forward to it. They also want to see the difference between rice grown using different methods.

As soon as they filled a sack, they were eager to weigh it.

"Hurry up, let's cut this piece and see how many pounds it weighs. I heard that the kitchen is slaughtering a pig today. The boss said that during the autumn harvest, a pig will be killed to nourish everyone. We can't let the boss's kindness go to waste. The sooner we finish cutting, the more we can go home and help."

"Don't tell me, I think I smell meat. It's the smell of the braised pork I made during the spring plowing. It smells so good. I can't stop drooling."

"You're really greedy. Hurry up and cut it. It'll be dinner time soon."

Lu Linlang walked over and heard the voices of several people talking. She also smiled and said, "Yes, everyone, work hard. For lunch, we have dry rice with braised pork and chickens raised in our farm. They are all meat. The autumn harvest is in a hurry. As soon as the harvest is finished, you can go back and harvest your own crops first."

"Thank you, boss! Even in our own autumn harvest, we may not be able to eat such good meat. Now I have more energy to work."

We have been together for such a long time, and we are basically all from the same village. We chatted with each other and the morning passed by quickly.

When the gong sounded, a loud voice from the kitchen shouted: "Dinner is ready, dinner is ready, the delicious braised pork is ready!"

Everyone rushed towards the kitchen. Lu Zhan and Yun Can, who had just suffered from back pain, were closest to the kitchen. Upon hearing this, they put down their sickles and rushed over at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.

When they came in the morning, Lu Linlang advised them to eat more because they would be doing physical work later. However, they did not believe her and maintained their normal food intake. Before noon, they were already starving. However, since no one else had eaten yet, they were too embarrassed to eat. They could only continue to struggle with that acre of land under the scorching sun and hunger.

When the people in the kitchen saw the two men coming, they quickly used a large bowl to serve the food. There was enough meat for the two men. The two men were extremely hungry and did not pay attention to their manners as usual. They squatted on the side of the road and started to eat like a madman.

After another group of people came, Yun Yi and Yun Xi, two people who were proud of their status, also walked over quickly. They had a bowl of rice full of rice and refused it at all. In their eyes, braised pork and other greasy food were not elegant and unhealthy, but the most delicious food in the world.

"Dahua, Erhua, come here quickly, there's room here." Dahua and her sister had eaten a full meal in the morning, and since they had just been responsible for carrying rice, they were not as tired as the others. They came over slowly at this moment. Lu Zhan shouted while taking the last bite in the bowl.

"Yuncan, are you still eating? I don't think I'm full." Lu Zhan finished the last bite and still felt a little unsatisfied.

"Come on, let's get some chicken soup to soak the rice. I think there's still quite a lot of chicken soup." Yun Can was not full either, so the two of them went to get more, and only then did Lu Linlang come late.

"The boss is here. Your food is here. I saved it for you." The aunt in charge of the kitchen brought a few bowls of side dishes and a bowl of rice and placed them aside. At this time, everyone who had finished eating was looking for a place to rest and there were seats.

"Sister, why did you take so long to come? Aren't you hungry? You have quite a lot of dishes. Why don't I help you share some?" Lu Zhan was just thinking about so many people. Those uncles and brothers were even more tired than them, so he felt embarrassed to add more meat. This braised pork was even more delicious than the one at home. Seeing that Lu Linlang still had a large bowl, he looked at it eagerly.

"Those of you who haven't eaten yet, come and eat. I asked the kitchen to leave some food in advance. Who knew you would be so anxious? Are you starving?" When Lu Linlang saw the large bowl in his hand, she knew that they must have been unable to bear the hunger.

"Hey, I'll definitely eat my fill tomorrow morning before I start working. We underestimated the hard work of the autumn harvest today."

Several people sat down, but only the Dahua sisters were full from the large bowl of food they had just eaten.

In the next few days, with meat and vegetables, everyone was very motivated and harvested all the crops a few days earlier than they expected. The next task was to dry the crops. After drying, they started to weigh and compare them.
