Started as a poor little girl

Chapter 66 Planting Rice

"Mom, just beat me to death." Wei Lingheng lay on the ground. He could not run anymore. He was chased by his grandfather in the Marquis' Mansion and by his mother when he returned home. Today he felt that he must have not checked the almanac. It must be that his five elements were in conflict today.

"Madam, I can't run anymore. You might as well beat me to death." Wei Deliang lay on the ground with a look of despair on his face.

Jing Meixue looked at the two people on the ground who had lost all hope in life. She sat on the stone bench with a calm face, watching them quietly.

The father and son actually slept on the floor. It was already a mess anyway, so who cared?

"Someone, carry the young master and the master into the house." Jing Meixue's heart softened. She didn't want to experience the pain of separation again, so she couldn't bear to beat them to death.

Wei Lingheng patted the dry grass and dirt on his body and said with a playful smile, "Mom, don't bother them. I'll go by myself."

Without waiting for Jing Meixue to reply, he ran away. He was afraid that her mother would go back on her word, so he ran away quickly.

Before Jing Meixue could open her mouth, another figure quickly stood up and disappeared. Wei Deliang didn't say a word. While his son and his wife were talking, he stood up and ran, running faster than Wei Lingheng.

The next day, the miraculous event of Wei Lingheng's resurrection quickly spread throughout the capital, and people were amazed at the young man's miraculous resurrection.

The common people did not know the truth of the matter, and when several people in prison learned about this from the yamen runners, they were so scared that their legs went limp.

"Maybe he was unwilling to die, so he turned into a ghost to claim his life." Wei Yancheng shivered and huddled in the corner. He felt that it was safe there, and if the ghost came to claim his life, he would be the last one.

Wei Pingguang glanced at his worthless son with disdain and spat, "If I had known you were such a person, I would have let you rot in your mother's stomach."

He really regretted bringing this son home. He was a hopeless case, a good-for-nothing who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun all day long. He was also lustful. He was not as sensible as his good grandson, who, although not very smart, was well-behaved and sensible.

"Wei Yancheng, you still don't understand! The old man and that damn kid set us up. They used fake deaths to make us kill each other. Humph! I didn't expect that kid to be so smart."

Wei Leqing looked unwilling, as he was actually tricked by a dead boy who hadn't even grown all his hair yet.

The other people thought about it carefully and felt a chill down their spines. They couldn't believe that a group of adults had never been able to defeat a young boy. It must have been that kid's idea. Wei Zhonglin didn't have that kind of brains. Although he was not stupid, he, an old-fashioned man, would definitely not come up with such an idea.

"Oh~ Auntie, that's unfortunate. I'm here to see you. Look how filial I am. I even brought you some food."

Wei Lingheng beckoned, and the servant handed the food box to the yamen runner, who then took it inside and gave it to them.

"Well, if you have nothing to say to me, forget it. But I do have good news for you. You can be spared the death penalty, but you cannot escape the punishment of living. Tomorrow you will be exiled to a bitter and cold land."

Wei Lingheng didn't wait for them to say anything, he turned around and left. He heard bursts of curses behind him, but he pretended not to hear them and just walked away.

Wei Lingheng returned home. Because of his fake death, his parents began to cherish him even more. They were still frightened and afraid that this would become true. They stayed with him every day and refused to let him leave their side.

This made him feel like he had two tails growing behind him. He wanted to hide in his room alone. Now that he had been back for a few days, he should write a letter to Lulu to let her know he was safe. However, his parents were always following him, so he was too embarrassed to write if he had anything to say.

After dinner, the family sat in the yard and chatted, which made Wei Lingheng open up. This atmosphere made him think of Li Lulu who was far away in Datan Village.

"Son! How did you survive these past few months? You were being chased every day." Jing Meixue felt terrified at the thought.

"No! I have had a very good life these past few months. A lovely girl helped me and took me in. Her family is also very nice and treats me like their own daughter." Wei Lingheng had a smile in his eyes, as gentle as the spring breeze.

Wei Lingheng had mentioned some things about his cross-dressing before, because Jing Meixue almost fainted when she saw several sets of women's clothes in Wei Lingheng's closet in the morning. She found out the reason after asking.

He also went to the Marquis' Mansion to find the old Marquis and Steward Wei to inquire about the truth, and it was indeed he who disguised himself as a woman in order to avoid the killer.

"Oh! That girl is a nice one! Let's go see her when we have time, and thank her by the way. We all know all these things, and it's not easy for her, too, for such a small child to take care of you who are so old."

Wei Deliang heard everything from the old man. A ten-year-old girl killed more than a dozen burly men. She was a professional killer and had considerable courage.

"Well, your father is right. I like this girl's temperament. I really want to meet her!"

After Jing Meixue heard what Wei Deliang had inquired about, she really wanted to meet this girl. It seemed that her own boy had some feelings for her, so she wanted to spend more time with her. It would be even better if she could become her daughter-in-law in the future.

If her son was not liked by the girl, it would be great to adopt her as a goddaughter. She is so brave, decisive and smart, just her type, and she likes her.

The family chatted for a long time and did not rest until late at night. Wei Lingheng quietly wrote a letter and asked the secret guard trained by his grandfather to deliver it to Li Lulu in Datan Village.

The next day, in Datan Village, it was a clear morning. The sun had just risen and the villagers came to the fields early to start planting rice.

While they were concentrating on planting rice, they were also exchanging farming skills and experiences with each other.

Li Lulu, who originally wanted to stay in bed, was picked up by Yue Xiangmei. After breakfast, she followed her family to the fields to plant rice. These days, everyone in the village was planting rice or growing vegetables. It was normal during the busy farming season anyway.

Li Dashan and Li Xiaoguang were picking seedlings, while the others were planting rice in the fields. Yue Haitang was cooking at home and was not allowed to cook. She said that she was free anyway and no one could stop her, so they just let her do it.

The shop hasn't been particularly busy lately, and Xiaowu and Xiaoliu can take over the shift, so the two brothers came back to help. They were worried about relying on their sister, parents and grandfather to do the farm work at home.

Li Lulu also bent down and planted the seedlings. Although she was not fast, her technique was still quite good.

"Hey, sister, you're not fast enough! Look how fast your brother is." Li Xiaoguang was picking seedlings, and although his body was busy, his mouth was too idle.

Li Lulu ignored him. She knew that her second brother was like this. He was like a fool. He always acted foolishly but would behave himself after being beaten.

"Look, why don't you pay attention to me when your brother is talking to you!" Li Xiaoguang was teasing his sister, but when he saw that his sister ignored him, he turned around and left. He was too close to Yue Xiangmei and was afraid of being beaten.

Li Lulu rolled a mud ball with her hands in the field and threw it out, hitting Li Xiaoguang directly on the back of the head.

"Ouch! How could the second brother be so careless! Unlike the eldest brother, who is better than someone in the field, at least there is no mud on his head. How come the second brother is not as good as a few-year-old child, with mud all over his head!"

Li Lulu mocked Li Xiaoguang in a sarcastic tone, saying that it was her brother who said that.

The other people in the family just glanced at it and continued to work. They were used to it as the two siblings often played and fought like this.

Li Xiaoyang didn't understand why his younger brothers and sisters had to involve him in the quarrel. He didn't do anything. Was there anything wrong with him just planting rice obediently?

Li Xiaoguang, who had been beaten, has become obedient now. Not only was he beaten by Li Lulu, but his grandfather also gave him two blows on the head when he went to pick seedlings just now. Moreover, Yue Xiangmei glared at him. He was so scared of his mother that she never showed mercy when beating him.

There are many people in this family and they cooperate well. They finished planting the rice seedlings shortly after lunch.

When Li Lulu was transplanting rice seedlings, she found many snails in the fields. These snails were very large and were crawling leisurely in the paddy fields.

"Dad, Mom, can we eat snails tonight? There are so many of them in the fields!"

Li Lulu screamed excitedly, attracting the attention of her family. Everyone turned around and gathered around the edge of the field.

"Lulu, do you want this? It doesn't taste good, and it's hard to prepare."

Yue Xiangmei shook her head as she watched. When she was a child, she was also curious and wanted to eat it like Lulu. She and Yue Haitang got two buckets of it, and after they were done washing them, they made a plate of it. It didn't taste good after it was fried, and it tasted very fishy.

"Mom, you have to trust my cooking skills. I promise to make it delicious."

Li Lulu's confident words made Yue Xiangmei feel that maybe she really couldn't cook it. She believed that it was okay for her daughter to cook it once. She did the same when she was a child. If it didn't taste good, her daughter wouldn't want it again. The fact that it tasted good just happened to satisfy her daughter's wishes, so she killed two birds with one stone.
