Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

The woman was not someone to be trifled with. She was not afraid at all and spoke clearly and logically.

"My Lord City Lord is very clear-sighted. We sisters-in-law have never neglected our duties. We are unfortunate because we were bought by Brother Wangcai to be his wife. We have no say in this."

"Before Brother Wangcai died, they served him wholeheartedly. Now that the truth has been exposed, they are blaming us two poor people. It's really unfair!"

As the two sisters-in-law spoke, their eyes became red.

Marrying brother Wangcai means you can have enough food and warm clothing.

In the past, relying on their brotherhood as bandits, the two brothers never treated them as human beings. They would yell at them at best and beat them up at worst.

When they learned that they were killed yesterday, they were not sad, but instead breathed a sigh of relief.

The three of them united in hatred and bullied two weak women. Lin Yinan felt suffocated in his chest.

Although the women's words could not be fully trusted, their thin bodies and arms with rolled-up sleeves were covered with criss-crossing bruises and purple bruises.

"You two come up, and help dig wild vegetables and cook for the next three days."

"Who will pull the plow in the field?" The auntie, who was covered in mud, was unwilling to do it and she shouted loudly.

Lin Yinan said coldly, "Of course it will be done by the three of you."

The aunt wanted to argue again, but her husband wiped the mud off her face and came forward to cover her mouth.

"We will do it! We will do it!" the man said with an apologetic smile.

Only he knew how powerful the mud lump was. His whole face was burning.

The woman carrying the child was helped ashore by her sister-in-law. She bent her knees and wanted to kowtow to Lin Yinan to express her gratitude.

Sister Qianxia quickly supported the man and said, "No need to be so polite. Just do what my wife asked you to do."

The woman picked up the basket on the ridge of the field, and the two of them walked towards the green hillside.

At the same time, Zhao Mang, who discovered that something was wrong here, hurried over.

Yun Ming just happened to be leading people to patrol here.

Qian Wu quickly told the two of them the whole story.

"Village chief, you will personally lead people to patrol the fields in the next few days. Such situations must be strictly prohibited to prevent bullying from happening. Those who are too domineering and overbearing must be severely punished!" Lin Yinan said.

Plant the seedlings first, then deal with the subsequent troubles.

"Don't worry, Third Sister-in-law, I will definitely help the village chief to keep an eye on him!" Yun Ming promised, patting his chest.

Lin Yinan said, "Third sister-in-law believes you."

"Madam, let's go back." Qianwu saw that Lin Yinan's cheeks were sunburned red. The sun was too scorching.

Lin Yinan nodded and left with a few people.

The two sisters-in-law were already carrying baskets and looking around for edible wild vegetables.

On the hillside, Wu Song was explaining the key points of soil turning to Hong Mu and others.

When Hong Mutou saw Lin Yinan coming, a bright smile appeared on his face and he asked her in unfluent Chinese.

"Can you farm?"

Lin Yinan paused, looked up at him, and said without thinking, "No! You should learn from him."

"Thank you very much for teaching us." Hong Mu said sincerely.

"How much you learn is up to you. I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."

After she finished speaking, she left with the Chinatsu sisters and Yamatsu.

Looking at her leaving figure, Wu Song said to Hong Mu, "Our city lord is very knowledgeable and talented. She taught us the method of high-yield rice transplanting from a book."

When Hong Mu and the others heard this, their eyes were filled with admiration.

In the yard, the doctor who had gone out to collect herbs had already returned and was now sitting under the porch picking out herbs.

Lin Yinan went into the room to see Lin Shuo and saw that he was still in a coma, but his fever had subsided and his face was not as pale as it was yesterday. He looked much better than yesterday.

After leaving the room, Lin Yinan moved a chair and sat next to the doctor.

Before she could ask, the doctor said, "Don't worry, the medicine has been boiled. After taking the medicine today and giving him another injection, he will wake up tonight at the earliest."

"Thank you, doctor!" The doctor smiled and said nothing.

It was a clear day and there was no wind blowing from the mountain, but the cool breeze drove away the restlessness in my heart, making me feel quite gentle and comfortable, while also making my drowsy head clearer.

Lin Yinan looked at the doctor who was concentrating on picking medicinal herbs skillfully and asked him in a calm voice.

"I still don't know what to call the doctor?"

"My surname is Guo, and my given name is Xun." Guo Xun said without even raising his head.

She bent down and imitated Guo Xun's way of picking. "I wonder when Doctor Guo came to Shuidong County?"

"I came here late last year."

"Doctor Guo doesn't look like he is from the same clan as Hong Mu and the others?" Lin Yinan asked casually.

Guo Xun felt that there was nothing to hide, so he said truthfully, "Yes, I was able to reach Shuidong County safely on my way south with the protection and assistance of their clan leader."

"I wonder what the situation is like in the North now?"

"The conflicts among the ethnic groups in the north are getting more and more intense. It will take some time for them to calm down." Guo Xun sighed helplessly.

Just as she guessed, Hong Mu and his people all came from the north.

Lin Yinan said, "Although the South has many mountains, dense forests, and a lot of miasma, it is rich in resources and may be a paradise."

"The South is a good place to avoid disputes and stay away from battlefields. City Lord Lin and I have come to the same destination. I just wonder if City Lord Lin just wants to live in peace in a corner, or is he looking for an opportunity to dominate?"

Lin Yinan raised his eyebrows slightly and said in a cold voice, "Doctor Guo thinks too highly of me. We are also forced to leave our hometown and just want to have a full meal."

"City Lord Lin is building farmland and water conservancy projects. Being too brutal will affect population growth."

During the half-day Doctor Guo spent collecting herbs in the mountains, he heard about what happened yesterday.

"What Doctor Guo said is absolutely right. Although there are many things in this world that cannot be solved by violence and authority, it is the most suitable method at the moment."

Lin Yinan's tone was calm, but his words were worthy of deep thought.

At the beginning, she just wanted to distribute the occupied land to the farmers and become a landlord herself.

But if the villagers don’t cooperate, then we’ll try another approach, but with tougher measures.

"It is true that poor mountains and bad waters give rise to unruly people."

Guo Xun shook his head helplessly. He was also a well-read man and understood the principles behind it.

The secret guard brought out the boiled medicine, let it cool down, and then carefully fed it to Lin Shuo.

A quarter of an hour later, Guo Xun washed his hands and went to give Lin Shuo another acupuncture treatment.

After taking the needle, Guo Xun said, "He is in good health and will recover quickly."

At noon, the woman arranged by Zhao Mang came to Qianxia to get food to cook.

Qianxia distributes food according to the number of people on the booklet. If they dig more wild vegetables, the cooked food will naturally be thicker. If they dig fewer wild vegetables, the food will naturally be thinner.

With Zhao Mang and Yun Ming leading the secret guards patrolling from time to time, even if they were dissatisfied, they did not dare to cause trouble again.

In the evening, the sunset looks like a colorful curtain hanging in the sky, gorgeous and quiet.

The people who worked in the fields came back and sat under a big tree outside the village waiting for their meals. After a tiring day, they didn't even have the energy to chat.

"Do you feel it?" The man who was sitting with his hands around his knees raised his head and asked the person next to him.

The person next to him looked around blankly and shook his head, "What?"

"The earth is shaking!"

"Really, the ground is shaking!" Another person raised his head and said in panic.

So some people wondered, why was the earth shaking?

"Could it be that the earth dragon has turned over?" someone asked in a trembling voice.

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd suddenly became panicked.
