My best friend is living a famine-stricken life; you're going crazy, I'm farming.

Chapter 17: They've lost their minds; they believe such nonsense.

Qingshui Village.

Wang Guihua carried water more than ten times, but she still couldn't find a single coin.

She began to doubt whether Yang Fenglan's dream was a lie.

After watering the two buckets in her hands, she impatiently kicked the buckets away.

I was stupid to actually follow Yang Fenglan's instructions and water the plants little by little.

Yang Fenglan isn't here, so why doesn't she just go into the field to look for her?

If there really is silver in the field, she will be the first to pick it up. So what if someone notices her walking around in the field and finds it strange?

Can't she just pull the weeds?

Wang Guihua was furious with herself for being so stupid.

After figuring it out, he went straight into the wheat field, half-squatting, and wandered around like someone stealing melon scraps.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he jogged forward, quickly picking up a copper coin.

"I actually found it! There really is money in this land."

Wang Guihua was excited when suddenly a shout came from the side, which startled her so much that she quickly stuffed the coins into her pocket.

"Hey! Auntie, what are you looking for in the field?" Xu Yingying stared at her for a while, and seeing that she was slacking off, she immediately put herself in the role of the supervisor.

Seeing that she was a stranger, Wang Guihua was puzzled, but still smiled and replied, "I'm pulling weeds."

"Auntie, is this your land?" Xu Yingying asked with an innocent smile.

"This... of course, it's not my land, why would I pull weeds?"

"Auntie, you're so capable." As she spoke, Xu Yingying also came to the wheat field. "Auntie, let me help you pull weeds."

"No need!" Wang Guihua refused instinctively, then realized she had been too agitated and changed her words, saying, "Work in the fields is hard work, not something young girls like you can do."

"It's alright, weeding isn't heavy work." Xu Yingying grinned, then looked around impatiently.

Clearly, weeding was just an excuse.

This girl must have seen her pick up the money and was eyeing it.

Wang Guihua slapped herself in regret. Yang had been right; suddenly looking for something in the field would arouse suspicion.

"I've already pulled all the weeds, no need to pull any more."

"Oh? It's over..." Xu Yingying said with a disappointed but unwilling expression, "Auntie, there might still be grass over there, I'll go pull some out."

"Need not!"

"It's okay. If we can't finish pulling them all out, I'll ask my family to come and help."

"It's all done, you can go now." Wang Guihua was on the verge of tears.

If they don't leave, she's going to get violent.

Seeing that Wang Guihua's expression was not good, Xu Yingying then looked away, pretending to be unwilling and helpless.

"alright."

Xu Yingying left.

Wang Guihua stayed by the field, watching her walk away before picking up her water buckets and heading straight home, her steps hurried.

Along the way, several people carrying water to irrigate their fields greeted her, but she ignored them all.

"Mother, Mother!" Wang Guihua shouted as soon as she got home.

"Are you crazy?" A short, thin old woman in her fifties came out of the kitchen, carrying a gourd ladle in her hand.

This person is the head of the Zhou family, surnamed Wang.

There were two women surnamed Wang in the family, and to distinguish them, the villagers called her the elder Wang.

"Mother, something big has happened." Wang Guihua hurriedly took a sip of water. "We're going to get rich!"

"What kind of pipe dream are you having?" Wang thought it was outrageous as soon as she heard this.

“It’s true, Yang told me herself. Yesterday she dreamed that the God of Wealth was riding a flying horse over her wheat field and some silver fell down.”

Before Wang Guihua could finish speaking, Wang Shi jumped up and smacked her on the head with a gourd-like motion, saying, "Are you out of your mind? You actually believe such nonsense?"

“Mother, I knew you wouldn’t believe me. Look what this is!” Wang Guihua took out the two copper coins she had found. “These are what I found in Yang’s field. Yang herself also found them. I saw it with my own eyes.”

"..." Wang fell silent.

After a long pause, he asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

"real!"

"Then why did you run back? Hurry up and pick it up!" Wang put down the gourd ladle, took off her apron, and hurriedly went out to pick up the money.

Wang Guihua quickly pulled her back, "Mom, don't rush. We can't disturb others. Everyone is watering their fields, so we have to water our fields too. We'll pick up the plants as we water."

Wang rolled her eyes. "Look at you, you good-for-nothing. You're too lazy to even bend down to pick up money. You deserve to be poor."

"Hehe, Mom, it's not that I'm lazy, it's because..."

As the mother and daughter walked, Wang Guihua told Wang Shi about Yang Fenglan's story and how they were indeed being watched.
