Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine

Fortunately, no one except Shen Nanshan noticed this. Yao Shu quickly adjusted her mentality. This was human nature. Anyone who suddenly learned such good news would be unable to control their joy.

Unfortunately, she couldn't share this with everyone, so she had to hide her joy.

Seeing Shen Nanshan still looking at her, Yao Shu explained.

"I see there are no problems with this big business in Zaocun, so I'm happy."

"Hahaha, you still have the vision and know that this business can be done."

Shen Nanshan looked aloof from Rong, thinking that no matter what Yao Shu said, he would agree with him.

The people of Zaocun sincerely invited everyone from Dahezhuang to come and build the Dikengyuan, and they were very warm and considerate to them. It is still rare for people to do mischief like Chenjiacun.

So everything went smoothly, and they could go back only after they finished all the work.

It was a waste of time to go back and forth from Zaocun to Dahezhuang, so the village chief took everyone to stay in Zaocun. Because the road was not safe, he told everyone not to go home privately.

On the way here, the people of Dahezhuang Village also saw with their own eyes the dangers on the road. There were bandits guarding them. Even if the village chief didn't tell them, they didn't dare to take the risk.

Seeing that everyone took what he said to heart, the village chief felt relieved. He never expected that it would be Yao Shu who gave her a headache in the end.

He frowned tightly and said with great helplessness.

"Sister-in-law, why are you in such a hurry to go back? We can't get away from each other. Just wait for another ten days, and then we can go back together."

"No, I have something urgent to do when I go back."

Yao Shu shook her head, her attitude was very firm.

The reason why she changed her mind was because of the sweet potato seeds stored in the system backpack. It was already too late to plant sweet potatoes. It would be bad if she delayed any longer.

She was still thinking about having a sweet potato harvest this year. As long as they took the time to plant the sweet potatoes, and there was a harvest, their lives would be easier next year, and they would not have to worry about running out of food at home.

She couldn't tell the village chief about this yet, and she didn't want to let everyone worry about her.

"Everyone continues to work here. I'll just ask the boss and the others to accompany me. With so many men here, the bandits won't dare to attack."

If it weren't for the fact that there were enough men in the family, Yao Shu would not have dared to risk going back.

There were four grown men in their family who came to Zaocun. The bandits only wanted money and would not pick tough persimmons like them.

"How can this be done? If those bandits take action, we will be in trouble. We really can't go back. We happen to be on this far trip and everyone is homesick."

Yao Shu's proposal was rejected by the village chief as soon as she made it out. How could he leave the Shen family alone.

"Village Chief, there is no need to accommodate me like this. The work here cannot be delayed. It would be too much of a delay to come and go."

"No, it won't take more than one day's work."

Yao Shu was moved and helpless when facing the village chief who was unable to make money, and finally had to compromise.

"How about this? Please send me five miles eastward. There won't be any danger on the rest of the way."

The closer they get to Zhangzhou City, the less the bandits dare to act arrogantly. General Ling is stationed here with his army, and he can send troops to suppress the bandits at any time.

This was a compromise, and in the end the village chief had no choice but to agree.

The people of Dahezhuang Village had no objection at all to the task of escorting Yao Shu back. They all made the trip willingly. They owed Yao Shu so much debt that they could hardly count it. This was just a repayment of some of it. It’s just a drop in the bucket.

There was a large number of people in their group, and the bandits did not dare to show up at all. Yao Shu returned to Dahe Village smoothly.

It had only been two days before the people of Dahezhuang Village suddenly saw the Shen family coming back alone. Not to mention how curious they were, they also felt a little worried in their hearts, as they had come back early despite everything.

"Auntie, you are back."

Third daughter-in-law Lin stretched her neck and looked behind the Shen family. She was stunned that she didn't see even half of them, so she couldn't help but ask.

"Why don't you see the village chief and the others?"

"They are still working in Zaocun. My family has something to do, so they came back early."

Yao Shu hurriedly explained. Her eyes swept over everyone, feeling the tense atmosphere in the crowd, and knew that everyone had misunderstood.

After learning that nothing happened, everyone dispersed. They were just concerned about the safety of their families.

After returning home, Shen Qiu and others were paying attention to Yao Shu's every move. They were extremely curious and wanted to know what important thing made Yao Shu suddenly change her mind.

Before Shen Qiu and those who came back with him could ask first, they heard Shen He sigh with regret.

"Wouldn't it be a big loss to just come back like this? The opportunity to make a lot of money is just given to them."

Their trip was in vain, and they didn't make any money in the end. Thinking about it, they felt like they were at a loss.

No one expected Shen He to make such a speech, but when he thought about it carefully, he didn't find it strange. After all, he would never let go of any opportunity to take advantage of him.

But this time, it was their family that suffered the loss, and it was surprising that Shen He could endure it.

Although she knew Shen He had such a temperament, when she heard his outrageous words, Yao Shu couldn't help but reached out and patted him on the back.

"What are you talking about?"

If outsiders heard this, they might be misunderstood, and she didn't want to cause any complications.

"I'm anxious to come back because I'm afraid I'll miss the farming season."

"No, mother, I take good care of the potatoes at home. I'm not lazy at home."

Shen He was not annoyed after being hit, and still responded to Yao Shu with a playful smile.

Although he has a somewhat unruly temperament, the farm work at home has never been delayed. Of course, potatoes don't need to be taken care of too much at this stage.

"I'm not talking about potatoes. This time I got a new crop from outside. The yield is more than potatoes. It's just as easy to grow."

Yao Shu didn't hide it from her family. The next farm work still required everyone to work together, and she couldn't do it alone.

"Really? Mom, you're not fooling us, are you?"

"I've never seen anything more productive than potatoes."

The Shen family members were all shocked by the news. Everyone's eyes widened and they couldn't believe what they heard.

You know, something as high-yield and easy to feed as potatoes is already like a god in their eyes. They can't even imagine how good something better can be.

Even Shen Nanshan came to Yao Shu's side and asked in a low voice.

"Old woman, could this be the immortal seed given to you by the Lord of Hell?"
