The concubine wants to farm: the alluring wife raises the emperor

Chapter 34
When it was almost dawn, Xu Yuan fell asleep lying on the table, and woke up suddenly after a while. The kitchen was clanging, and the smell of rice soon wafted into her nostrils.

Xu Chi rushed over, the meal had just been prepared, and the two of them had enough to eat and drink, and asked Chang Zhu to stay at home and watch for a while, and then leave after Xu's father came over.

Chang Zhu held the porridge bowl that Xu Yuan forcefully stuffed over, and nodded with tears streaming down his face.

He drank the porridge in a big gulp, wiped his mouth and then went to sweep the floor and feed the pigs. He couldn't rest for a moment.

The village is very large, and there are many people living there, but the labor force is limited, and the amount of tax to be paid per mu of land is difficult for ordinary people to support, so they try their best.

Xu Yuan easily found a large piece of wasteland, and Xu Chi ran around with him. Before he even opened his mouth to ask a question, Xu Yuan sent him a mission.

"Find three more places with the same area!"

Such a large piece of wasteland, at least thirty acres, Xu Chi was shocked when he heard that it was not enough.

But the younger sister was too powerful, and she took the father's orders, so Xu Chi didn't dare to make a mistake, so she obediently went to run errands.

When the sun was at the top of his head, Xu Chi came back with his achievements. He found a few good places, but they were a little far away from home.

After Xu Yuan listened, she picked out two places she was satisfied with.

There are three wastelands in total, about [-] mu in total. Land reclamation is a big problem, and people from the village are needed to help.

After counting the money in her hand, and Ke Yunlai is also getting money, it is really not good, she still has food as a reward.

Xu Yuan immediately made a decision to go home and seek help from Xu's father and Xu's mother to tidy up the land and plant it as soon as possible.

No, Xu's mother disagreed a hundred times, and finally united with Xu's father, so to speak, Xu's mother slapped the table and kicked the two father and daughter out angrily.

Father Xu pulled Xu Yuan and comforted him in a low voice, "Don't worry about your mother, she just can't think about it for a while."

This was a big blow to Xu Yuan, but things had to be done, Xu Yuan could only cheer herself up, she really couldn't blame her mother for such things.

After all, in the eyes of the villagers, a hundred acres of land is like a huge piece of land, which is beyond their imagination.

As soon as the news of paid people to open the land spread, everyone looked at it as a joke, and immediately gloated about it, and laughed everywhere they went: "Xu's daughter is crazy!"

Originally, Xu Yuan thought that she could take the opportunity to help the villagers, everyone was mutually beneficial, but to her surprise, few people were willing to help her.

Xu Chi looked at his depressed sister, and also sat down on the field row, patting Xu Yuan's shoulder with his big palm, "What are you afraid of? If there are fewer people, there will be fewer people. At worst, this year will be sad, and we will come back next year. What is this called? Accumulate a lot!"

Those who were willing to help started working with hoes the next day, and Xu Yuan found that these people had their crops eaten by the Wang family's cattle.

No wonder, leaving her own fields alone to help her, and even laughing at her to help her, must be trying to fight for the last hope and make this winter easier.

Xu Yuan smiled, don't worry, she won't let you down.

Ten copper coins and two liters of rice are given to one mu of land, and the more you do, the better the reward you will get.

Moreover, there are not many people who are willing to work. Counting the half-sized children of every household, there are only ten or twenty. In this way, at most ten acres of wasteland can be opened up a day. After finishing the work, the family can get more than ten catties of grain. .

There wasn't much food, but Xu Yuan also gave him a lot of money, and he added a small benefit temporarily, so that he could eat at noon every day, so that he was full!

Just for this benefit, the group couldn't be more happy after listening to it. Xu Yuan made it at home by herself, and Chang Zhu helped.

When the rice was cooked and brought to the table, Xu Yuan noticed that Chang Zhu was standing still, seeing him hesitate for a long time as if embarrassed, Xu Yuan was puzzled.

"Benefactor, I, I can also help you open up wasteland. I have the strength but I don't need money!"

Xu Yuan was taken aback, "You're too young, you can't do it. But don't be afraid, help me look after the house at home, take care of Wanwan by the way, and you will get paid for helping me cook lunch every day."

When Chang Zhu heard it, his eyes immediately turned red, and he said in a hoarse voice, "I'll follow you to help in the afternoon. I have strength, and I don't need money or food."

Xu Yuan was silent. How could she not understand what this meant? Chang Zhu felt that it was right for him to cook at her house to see the children, and it was to take advantage of the food.

But a child would starve to death if he didn't take this food, so he had to work for Xu Yuan for peace of mind.

Now Xu Yuan really didn't know what to do, Chang Zhu was sometimes more stubborn than her mother, how could she say that the child just bit her teeth and went to work in the field, without money or food!

The two were deadlocked, and Xu Chi brought the villagers back for dinner.

"What's the rush, brat? There are plenty of jobs for you to do, but don't worry, or we'll have to change people." Xu Chi rubbed Chang Zhu's head, and the child who only reached his thigh looked at him in panic.

"I, I'm obedient, don't drive me away."

Xu Chi winked at Xu Yuan triumphantly.

Someone lifted the lid of the pot and saw the meatball soup inside. There were exclamations, and Xu Chi hurried over to maintain order, otherwise these people would fight over a bite of meat.

Li Yin and Wanwan were eating in the room, they looked outside curiously, when they saw Xu Yuan, Li Yin grinned brightly.

After working for seven or eight days in a row, it seemed that the work was about to be called off. God suddenly launched a disaster. First, it was exposed to the sun for several days, and the crops were dry and drooping, and then there was heavy rain.

Drought and waterlogging, the crops were tossed enough, and the village was full of wailing all day long.

The Xu family wasn't worried about the winter, but after Xu Yuan's toss, Xu's mother was frowning every day, and worried about the family's rations and livelihood.

The Wang family had no shortage of food and clothing, so the Wang family took the servants to ostentatiously pass through the market, seeing a group of people trying their best to save the crops, they took the opportunity to laugh.

This person is really stupid, causing trouble at this time, do you really think that the villagers made it out of clay figurines?

I don't know if it was Wang's intention, or if he bumped into it just by chance, Da Meng's father threw a bag of muddy water over him, and Wang was drowned.

The sharp and harsh voice hurt people's eardrums, Da Meng's father was pushed to the ground by the servants and beat him violently, and Wang kicked him in anger.

With a sneeze, Mrs. Wang was in a hurry to go home and change clothes, and someone beside him hurriedly sent Dad Meng home.

When Xu Yuan checked, two ribs were broken.

Da Mengniang cried bitterly, "This year, this place is counting on the two strong men in the family, but if this one falls, the whole family will be killed! The Wang family who killed a thousand knives..."

"Damn it, I have to kill that wicked woman today!"

Xu Chi snatched the machete with his hands, pressed Da Meng to the ground and beat him up, a seven-foot man was crying in front of his brother.

When he calmed down from sobbing, Xu Chi pushed people into the room, "Calm down? Go back and stay!"

Xu Yuan squinted her eyes, and Xu Chi saw a dangerous expression. She couldn't help shivering, as if she didn't need him to do anything, the Wang family would be in trouble!
There is no need for a doctor, Xu Yuan can cure it with a single shot. Later, she made her own decision and sent a whole stone of food to Dameng's family, but this time Xu's mother didn't complain a word.
