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

The sun shone on the square of Dahezhuang, illuminating a crowd of expectant and excited faces. Hundreds of people gathered together, waiting expectantly for Yao Shu's appearance.

They heard that Dahezhuang would provide high-yielding seeds for free. The news spread quickly in nearby villages, attracting countless people to come and watch.

"I heard that this kind of seed is better than what we usually grow, and the grain produced after planting is large and abundant." A villager whispered to his companion next to him.

"That's a nice thing to say. Is Mrs. Shen from Dahe Village willing to share such a good thing with us? And she doesn't want a penny?"

"Whether it's true or not, we'll find out later."

People were talking one after another, full of expectations.

Suddenly, a noise was heard. Everyone looked back and saw Yao Shu walking over with a group of people.

With her appearance, the crowd gradually quieted down, consciously leaving a path for her so that she could stand on the high platform.

Yao Shu smiled and motioned to the helpers around her to place a batch of seeds and planting products on the high platform and showed them to everyone. Villagers in each village craned their necks to look in, whispering endlessly.

"Is this that high-end variety? It seems to be better than ours."

"Oh, you two dogs, they are talking about high-yield and fine varieties."

Yao Shu stood on the high platform and waited quietly for everyone's discussion to subside.

She lowered her eyes and stared at the expectant faces, knowing in her heart that this moment was critical and she needed to use her words to impress these people and make them believe in the sincerity of Dahe Village and the potential of the seeds.

"Everyone," Yao Shu began, her voice clear and powerful, "I know you have all heard that we have high-yield and high-quality seeds here, and they don't cost a penny. Yes, this is true."

"After I finish speaking later, someone will give these seeds to you."

The crowd's chatter gradually dissipated, and everyone listened to Yao Shu's words attentively.

Yao Shu held up a plant with many huge sweet potatoes and a potato plant: "Everyone, please take a look, these are sweet potatoes grown from high-yield and improved varieties."

The villagers in Dahezhuang below all held their heads high and smiled with pride.

"That's right, since we switched to planting the seeds given by Mrs. Shen, every household in our village has had good harvests, and we no longer have to go hungry!"

The villagers in other villages stared at the sweet potato in Yao Shu's hand with intense eyes, and their saliva almost flowed out.

"If this is true, then our family won't have to worry about food!"

"You can sell what you can't finish eating. Once you have money, you can live in a big house and get a wife!"

The villagers were in high spirits and full of energy. As long as Yao Shu said a word, they would immediately go to the fields to plant sweet potatoes.

An elderly villager banged his cane on the high platform, and everyone looked on in confusion.

Yao Shu put down what she was holding and asked the old man to stand on the high platform.

"Mr. do you have any questions to ask?"

The old man stroked his beard and said, "Ms. Shen, we are all hard-working tenant farmers. We just focus on the harvest in the fields all year round."

He turned his eyes to the ground with a look of embarrassment on his face: "If you can't grow anything like you, then we, the people, may not be able to survive next year."

The old man's words were like a hammer hitting the villagers' hearts.

He old gentlemen hesitated.

Yao Shu smiled calmly: "Don't worry, everyone. Planting sweet potatoes will not occupy your original land for growing food. I will send someone to take you to reclaim the wasteland."

The powerful words once again ignited the enthusiasm of the villagers, and immediately several groups expressed their willingness to follow Yao Shu in growing potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Seeing that the old man's sad face had not yet relaxed, Yao Shu asked very politely: "Does the old man have any worries?"

"No, Mrs. Shen has good intentions. I shouldn't be so suspicious." The old man's red bloodshot eyes were shining with tears.

"However, everyone in the world is bustling for profit. If we can't make money, why do you take us to open up wasteland to grow food?"

As soon as they heard this, the people in Dahe Village were happy. It was unreasonable for a woman like Mrs. Shen, a Bodhisattva, to be said to be like this!

"You old man, don't talk nonsense. The people in our village rely on this voice, Mrs. Shen, to have a good life today!"

Yao Shu signaled the villagers of Dahezhuang to be quiet, raised her hand and asked people to present the evidence that had been prepared.

"Old sir, you can check it carefully. This is the general's name endorsement and various documents. This matter was given to me by General Ling."

"General Ling is dedicated to serving the people, and I, Yao Shu, will never do anything to oppress the people!"

The old man picked up the document with trembling hands and looked at it. The crutch fell to the ground with a clang.

"Oh, what a Bodhisattva! There are good people like the General and Mrs. Shen who care about us poor people and sincerely think about us." The old man burst into tears. "I kowtow to the Bodhisattva!"

As she was about to kneel down, Yao Shu quickly supported the old man with quick eyes and hands: "Old sir, you don't have to be like this. We are all ordinary people. We should help each other and never let others abuse us at will!"

No one had ever spoken such words to them, and those officials had never treated them as human beings. Yao Shu's words were like hazy drizzle falling on the dry hearts of the villagers.

The villagers' eyes were red.

"We will follow Madam Shen from now on. We will do whatever Madam Shen asks us to do!"

"Correct!"

"That's right!"

Yao Shu was also moved by the sincerity and simplicity of the villagers. Her eyes were red, and she looked like a goddess who cared for all living beings under the sunlight.

The people were eager to try. Yao Shu ordered people to distribute the seeds to the villagers one by one, took out the drawings that had been drawn before, and explained the planting process to the villagers in detail.

The warm tree shadows gradually became deserted, and the crescent moon curved around the big tree at the entrance of the village.

After a busy day, Yao Shu finally got some free time and fell asleep on the bed.

A crowing of a cock broke the silence, and the door of Shen's house clicked.

Yao Shu poked her head out from under the quilt sleepily. Who knocked on the door so early in the morning?

After briefly washing up, Yao Shu walked out of the room with an empty stomach.

"Oh my God, what the hell is this?"

There was a crowd of people standing in the yard in darkness. They were all villagers who had received the seeds yesterday.

As soon as the villagers saw Yao Shu, they rushed up to her.

"Ms. Shen, how do you water these seeds after they are planted? Do they need fertilizer?"

"Ms. Shen, the sweet potatoes have grown so big after they are planted. Do you need to add a layer of soil in the middle to protect the fruits?"

"Ms. Shen,..."

"... "

Yao Shuhun was dragged to answer various questions before she returned to her seat. By the time the villagers dispersed, it was already lunch time.

Yao Shu quickly cooked the rice and stuffed a lot of food into her mouth, which made Shen Nanshan amused.

"Madam, eat slowly, be careful not to choke."

Yao Shu drank a few mouthfuls of the soup and was satisfied with the delicious taste.

"No, it's hard for me to trouble the villagers like this every day."

"Starting from tomorrow, I, you, the Shen brothers, we will go to various places in Zhangzhou City to inspect and teach the villagers."
