Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

"Don't worry, Grandfather. Just come and visit us from time to time."

"They took over the land while we were away. If we don't come back, I'm afraid we won't have any land left in the spring."

"It's just that my brother and I are too young to plow the fields. We'll have to trouble you and uncle to come and help Yueyue plant the fields when the time comes."

Grandfather took a breath and said, "As long as Yueyue wants to farm, grandpa will definitely come to help you."

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren divided the work and soon dug out the dividing line. An Nian also cut a lot of vegetables and placed them on the ground.

Grandfather filled the siblings’ backpacks with vegetables from the field.

Then, the grandfather used a hoe to carry two backpacks with the fruits, and the siblings each held a few, and the three of them walked back home.

After returning to the yard, An Yue removed the heads of the vegetables, then cut them in the middle and hung them in rows on bamboo poles to dry.

By this time, it was already noon.

An Yue took out the sweet potatoes she had brought from her grandfather's house in the morning, and the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren sat in the house and started eating them.

An Yue took a bite of the sweet potato and said, "Grandfather, do you think it's possible to separate our yard from our grandparents' yard?"

After hearing this, Jiang Wuwen, the grandfather, was surprised and said, "I don't think your grandparents would agree to this."

"But Yueyue doesn't want to share a yard with them."

My grandfather didn't say anything, he just stood up silently, walked to the door, and looked around the yard for a moment.

He turned around and said to An Yue: "You can bring this up with your grandfather first. If they disagree, then go to the village chief for help."

"Forget it, let's put this matter aside for now. If we really want to build a new courtyard wall, we need money in hand."

After saying that, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren quickly finished two sweet potatoes each.

"After we finish eating, we will go around the paddy fields. If there is no problem with the paddy fields, we will come back to collect the vegetables, pickle them, pack them up, and rush back after we are done."

Grandfather nodded in agreement.

After eating the last bite of sweet potato, my grandfather stood up and prepared to get the hoe.

The brother and sister carried their respective backpacks on their backs, and the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren walked out of the yard gate one after another.

At this moment, An Yue vaguely felt that someone was watching her from behind, and she knew without hesitation that it was her grandmother Zhou.

After walking out of the yard, An Yue looked around. The terrain of Baili Village was relatively flat. The surrounding mountains were rolling, but they were just small hills. There probably weren't any ferocious beasts on the mountains.

An Yue thought that when she came back next year, which would be spring, she would take An Nian to the mountains to see if they could find any valuable business opportunities.

The most important thing is that this place is close to the town. It will be very convenient if I want to take things to the town to exchange for silver in the future.

Before this, my maternal grandfather Jiang Wuwen brought the Jiang family to settle down and took back two acres of paddy fields and two acres of land.

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren plan to walk all the way today.

They first came to the paddy field, where weeds were overgrown on the edge. My grandfather walked to the edge of the field, intending to fill the gap in the paddy field.

He filled the gap with a few swings of the hoe, thus ensuring that there would be water in the fields next year.

Afterwards, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren walked along the foot of the mountain, ready to see another acre of yellow land.

Looking closely, there were a lot of wild garlic on the roadside, and the brother and sister were digging as they walked.

After a while, we arrived at the yellow land. I guess my grandfather and his family had planted sweet potatoes there, but they had dug them up. Now, there was nothing in this yellow land except weeds.

An Yue squatted in the field, digging wild garlic and asked, "Grandfather, do ordinary people grow peanuts?"

My grandfather shook his head and said, "Few people grow peanuts. Many families even have trouble paying taxes."

That's right! In this era, crop yields were low and the government levied high taxes, so the whole family depended on the land for a living.

If there are male children in the family, they can go hunting in the mountains to exchange for money to improve the lives of their family, but families with few male children have to live a tight life.

Knowledge and culture are monopolized by class, and it is difficult for ordinary people to cross the class. This is also the reason.

If An Yue wants to live freely in this era, she must break out of the bottleneck of this era and start the change from her own family.

First of all, we must let An Nian go to school, learn to read and write, and make a fundamental change.

Then we need to find ways to increase crop yields.

Although they are people from later generations who traveled through time, the conditions at that time are limited, and it is extremely difficult to break through the siege.

No matter what the result is, we must always try and change step by step.

After walking through all the fields, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren walked together towards home.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw my grandmother Zhou sitting under the eaves of the main house, smacking her lips and staring at the three generations of the family as if they were thieves.

An Yue ignored her and went straight to her east room.

After the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren entered the house, they put down their farm tools one by one, and the grandfather went to the stove to move a large jar.

An Yue washed the wooden basin and placed it under the eaves. The brother and sister went to the yard together to collect the vegetables that were drying on the bamboo poles.

At this time, Zhou came towards the siblings with a smacking mouth and cursed in a low voice: "You damned little girl, you really cut down the vegetables planted by your aunt?"

An Yue still ignored her and continued to work on her own.

"Your aunt is not someone you can easily mess with. She won't let you go!"

An Yue gathered a large bunch of vegetables, walked under the eaves with them in her arms, and prepared to put them in a wooden basin.

Seeing that An Yue ignored her, Zhou chased after An Yue and scolded her, "Huh...? You can't hear me talking to you, right!!!"

An Yue put the vegetables in her arms into the wooden basin. When she was about to turn around to pick the vegetables, Zhou blocked An Yue's way and prevented her from leaving.

At this time, An Nian timidly asked his grandmother Zhou, "Grandma, does the tooth mark on your arm still hurt?"

"Hey...! You little brat! If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten about this!"

After Zhou finished speaking, she raised her hand and was about to slap An Nian.

An Yue saw that she was about to hit An Nian, and with lightning speed, she stretched out her hands and tightly grasped Zhou's raised hands, then used a backhand grab to grab her, and her grandmother Zhou was immediately unable to move.

An Yue said bitterly: "Considering that you are our grandmother, we shouldn't do this to you, but you forced us to do this!"

After saying that, An Yue took a deep breath, bit her lips, raised her heels, and stomped hard on Zhou's instep.

Zhou suddenly screamed in pain. She stood on one foot, covering her other foot, and cursed loudly: "You little bitch, I will beat you to death today!"

After Zhou finished speaking, she stood up with great pain and prepared to rush over to hit An Yue.

My grandfather, who was cleaning a large jar in the house, vaguely heard a quarrel outside and hurried out of the house.

He watched Zhou reach out to grab Anyue's hair, and his grandfather ran out in two steps at a time, but it was obviously too late.
