The two people walked all the way, discussing what method they could use to pull out this trick.

Halfway there, they happened to be walking in the opposite direction to Granny Zhang and Old Man Zhang. Judging from the listlessness of the two of them, they must be very tired.

The sky was still a little gloomy at the moment, and the two people had just woken up, so they didn't know what time it was.

Liu Feng tightened his eyes. Mrs. Zhang and Old Man Zhang were notoriously lazy. It was really strange to see them so early.

Wang Ming walked over with a smile on his face and said politely, "Good morning, second brother, are you going to the wheat field?"

When the wheat field was mentioned, hatred appeared on the two people's faces. Mrs. Zhang even strode forward and rushed to fight with Wang Ming.

"Look, if I don't kill you two today, it will be you who will cause trouble!"

Hearing this, Wang Ming was stunned. The two of them went to harvest wheat with good intentions, but why did they suddenly blame her, "You old woman, you are confused."

As he finished speaking, his face felt painful. Mrs. Zhang had just been cruel, and now there was a bloody mark on his face.

Liu Feng was startled, fearing that Mrs. Zhang would do something else, so he hurriedly stepped forward to separate them, "Aunt Zhang, we are helping you harvest wheat for free, why are you raking it back?"

"Hmph, bah!" Before she could speak, Mrs. Zhang spat on Liu Feng's face, "You still have the nerve to pick up the wheat, if you two hadn't kept coming to help."

"Why would I wait for you to go? If it weren't for waiting for you, how could my family's wheat suffer? Oh my god, please strike these two shameless scholars to death with lightning as soon as possible!"

Liu Feng and Wang Ming were stunned for a moment. They were fine when they came to see them last night, but why did they change when they woke up?

Old man Zhang stepped forward as if he were a good person and said, "Hey, Mr. Liu, you scholars are too unreliable. We, the old couple, think that you are scholars, so naturally we must do what we say."

"I never thought that you guys were talking nonsense. That's all, it's our fault that we, the old couple, are blind." With that said, Old Man Zhang pulled Mrs. Zhang towards home.

Watching them leave, Liu Feng and Wang Ming looked confused.

When Jiang Tuge just returned to his room to change clothes, he happened to hear intermittent sounds outside. She opened the window and looked, and she really saw this dramatic scene.

"Tsk tsk tsk, evil people will be punished by evil people. Xiao Hei, look, isn't this retribution coming?"

Xiao Hei nodded and agreed very much with Jiang Tuge's statement. Right now, she had to go find Manager Li. While the rain was light at this time, it was better to go early and come back early.

In fact, today’s wheat harvest is not the end, but the beginning. After the wheat is harvested, it is not left alone but continued to be threshed.

Therefore, there are still some things that need to be said.

When they arrived at Steward Li's house, the couple, the steward and his wife, were not in a good mood. Mrs. Zhang is the sister of the lady in charge. Their harvest this year is not good, so she is naturally a little upset.

When Manager Li saw Jiang Tuge coming, a smile appeared on his face, "Mrs. Jiang is here, sit down and rest quickly."

Jiang Tuge nodded and asked directly without beating around the bush, "Manager Li, I just wanted to ask if the Zhou family still needs my help in the future?"

"I know there's still some farm work I haven't done, so I thought I'd tell you about it."

Hearing this, Manager Li waved his hand and said, "There is no need to do this threshing of wheat. Zhou Dalang is a capable person. Even though he is lame, he can do this threshing of wheat alone."

"You have helped their family enough, so you don't have to worry about threshing the wheat. It's just..." Manager Li sighed again, "It's just that turning the wheat is a bit difficult. "

Jiang Tuge nodded, "Manager Li, I have never done farm work before. Does turning wheat require a lot of manpower?"

"Exactly!" Manager Li was a little helpless, "In the past year, men were doing the work of turning wheat. This year, the two sons of Old Man Zhang's family are not at home and have gone out to find work."

"There are a lot of people like them who go out, so turning wheat is a big problem."

Male?

Jiang Tuge sneered in his heart, "Hey, it's a pity that Liu Shusheng and his classmates can't do hard work, otherwise they can help."

Hearing this, Manager Li looked very ugly, "Isn't it true that all storytellers say that the only ones who are useless are scholars."

"You've seen these two, but they're not enough material for farm work. If it weren't for them, how could the wheat in this house get wet in the rain!"

Jiang Tuge glanced at Manager Li and saw the anger on his face. His impression of Liu Feng should have changed a bit this time.

Although there are some inappropriate things that the Zhang family does on weekdays, in the final analysis, Mrs. Zhang and the lady in charge are the same mother and father.

Moreover, after their family has paid taxes this year, they will inevitably have to make up for the shortfall in the coming days. The lady in charge felt sorry for her sister, but as far as Manager Li was concerned, he had to pay for it.

"Manager Li, today I see that everyone has harvested nothing. You don't have to worry about taxes." Jiang Tuge said with a smile.

Manager Li nodded, "That's true. I've also read it these past two days. The Zhou family has collected a lot this year. Even after paying this year's taxes, as long as they budget carefully, this year will be easy."

"Ms. Jiang, you and Yan Shu are doing a great deed by helping this orphan and widowed mother."

Jiang Tuge smiled and waved his hand, "Manager Li is so complimentary. Aunt Zhou has helped me before. These people are all for each other. It will make people feel cold if they are ungrateful."

"Well said, Mrs. Jiang is absolutely right." After Manager Li said this, a trace of sadness appeared on his face.

Jiang Tuge knew that he was worried about turning wheat. She thought about it and stepped forward and said, "Manager Li, if there is really nothing you can do, why don't you go talk to the chief construction officer."

"It's an important time for farming right now. If you go and talk to them, they should nod. Last time I went to look for my husband and took a sneak peek."

"This city wall is already in a state of repair. Even if we let a few civilians back, it won't delay the progress."

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Manager Li's face. The sadness just now turned into shock, "Ms. Jiang, are you telling the truth?"

"If they come back, will this progress really not be delayed?"

"Manager Li, I'm afraid you are confused!" Jiang Tuge looked serious, "Building the city wall is such an important thing, how dare I make a joke about it?"

After hearing this, Manager Li seemed to see hope, "Okay, okay! I will go find Mr. Hu tomorrow, and I will show off my old face." (End of Chapter)
