Shangguan Haitong took off her hairpin and earrings and said, "Give some silver to the servants in Chi'er's yard tomorrow morning to comfort them. They have been wronged tonight. Chi'er needs people around him, so persuade them not to harbor resentment."

"Yes." Huanshuang responded.

She went there early the next morning and tried to persuade and counsel the people whose rooms were searched yesterday.

Enter Zhuangzi.

Shangguan Sitong got up early but still didn't work. She tried several times to get into the kitchen but failed, so she went straight to where everyone was eating.

He snatched the chopsticks and bowl of a little maid, filled his bowl with rice, and asked for some dishes from this table and that table.

Everyone worked quickly and Shangguan Sitong's plate was clean before he was full.

She could only eat some rice, which was better than nothing. When she wanted to get more, there was no more rice in the barrel.

Shangguan Sitong angrily threw the dishes on the table without picking them up, and swaggered to Li Ma Ma: "Don't you want me to work?"

Nanny Li looked her up and down and found that she had not changed into the coarse linen clothes, but was still wearing the girl's dress.

Working like this?

I don’t know who will suffer then.

"Come with me." Nanny Li turned and led the way. "Now is the busy farming season, and we are in great need of people to dig the soil."

The little maid handed over the hoe.

Shangguan Sitong reflexively hugged the long hoe: "How do I use this thing?"

Nanny Li did not answer, but walked to the farmland outside the farm and pointed, "On the first day of work, start with these two plots of land."

"It's so big? And I'm alone? I'll be exhausted to death." Shangguan Sitong complained unhappily.

With a smile, Li Ma turned around and left: "As for how to use the hoe, you will learn it naturally if you watch and learn more."

Shangguan Sitong made a face and looked left and right.

There were both men and women in the fields, all of them rolling up their sleeves and digging the ground.

Her curiosity aroused, she learned to hold the hoe.

It seemed like that was the case, Shangguan Sitong went down to the ground with full confidence.

As soon as I stepped on the floor, my shoes were covered in mud.

She was annoyed and used grass to clean her shoes: "I just made these shoes this month."

This job is impossible, absolutely impossible. Shangguan Sitong threw away the hoe, lifted her skirt and returned to the ridge.

She looked around with her hands behind her back. Not everyone was using a hoe. In one field there was an ox pulling a plow.

It looked really interesting. Shangguan Sitong trotted over and said, "Is this a cow? It's really convenient to work with it."

She turned around in surprise when she heard the sound of wheels. She thought it was a horse-drawn carriage, but it turned out to be an ox-drawn cart.

Every few days the village needs to buy some necessities from the city, and today happens to be the day for delivery.

The car drove away. Shangguan Sitong hurriedly chased after it and came to the back door of the manor.

The women unloaded the goods and moved them into the kitchen. As the goods were all moved out, the cart became empty.

Shangguan Sitong's eyes lit up, and when he saw that there was no one around, he ran over.

She got on the cart and slapped the cow on the butt. Who wants to stay in this damn place?

She is going home!

The cow moved in small steps.

Shangguan Sitong was not happy, so he slapped the cow's butt even harder, and finally even pulled the cow's tail.

The cows were frightened and ran around in panic.

Shangguan Sitong held the reins tightly: "Slow down, slow down!"

Everyone heard the sound and came out to see what was happening.

The driver shouted "Oops!" and immediately chased after him.

Nanny Li immediately sent people to chase after him, not allowing him to escape or fall and get hurt.

The cows were running around like crazy and the cart was shaking a lot.

Shangguan Sitong was so anxious that she was about to cry, and she didn't know how to control the direction: "Ahhh, help--"

As Madam Li shouted, everyone in the field chased the ox. Several people blocked the way in front, and some tried to hold the cart.

When there are more people, the cows will be more stimulated.

It turned and rushed straight into the ditch.

The cart overturned, and Shangguan Sitong was afraid that he would be crushed by the cart and rolled far away.

The cow continued to run, trampling the ground.

A group of people went up immediately, and the driver rushed over without stopping to calm the cow.

Nanny Li and others stood on the path. Several women working in the fields helped Shangguan Sitong up.

"You're lucky you weren't crushed by the cart. You shouldn't be hurt."

Shangguan Sitong felt very aggrieved: "How come I am not injured? My hands are bleeding."

She shows her hands.

Everyone saw the abrasion on the palm of his hand. The bleeding was not too much and it would heal in a few days with some medicine applied.

Nanny Li angrily asked someone to help her back: "You are covered in mud. You should change your clothes now."

The group of people were out of breath after chasing the ox cart. Now they had nothing to do, so they walked back slowly one by one.

Shangguan Sitong returned to the manor, took a bath and changed into coarse linen clothes: "What kind of clothes are these? They are so uncomfortable to wear. Don't you have anything better?"

Xiaoyan brought the medicine and said, "Second Miss, we workers can't wear nice clothes. Just get used to it."

"I can't get used to it. Go to the city and buy me some silk, go quickly." Shangguan Sitong raised his hands and stomped his feet in displeasure.

Shaking her head, Xiaoyan put down the medicine: "I don't have money to buy it, let alone go. The medicine is here, you can apply it yourself."

Shangguan Sitong saw the man leave and said: "Hey, why are you leaving? Apply medicine to me. How can I apply medicine on my injured hand?"

Xiaoyan had already walked away and no one paid any attention to her.

Shangguan Sitong sat down unhappily, and looked at the medicine, and had to take it with stiff hands.

She lifted her finger and pulled the lid off with difficulty, then poured the powder onto the wound. A sharp pain made her gasp.

“What a crappy medicine!” Shangguan Sitong raised his hand to smash it, but then put it down again after thinking about it.

In addition to her palms, she also had scratches on her arms and legs. I didn't know it at first, but when I felt the pain, I saw several thin bloodstains.

After a long time, Shangguan Sitong finally applied the medicine himself. But it was not over yet.

Good wound medicine feels cool and comfortable when applied to the wound. Bad medicine is applied to the wound and the stinging pain comes in waves.

She wanted to feel better and lay down on the bed.

I couldn't bear the pain in my hands and feet.

Shangguan Sitong cried out in pain and got up, then found a water tank to wash off the medicine. Now, the wound finally stopped hurting.

Never mind, no need for medicine. This injury will heal on its own after a while.

It was convenient for her to not work on the pretext of being injured and to lie in bed and rest peacefully.

It’s up to her whether to work or not, but it’s up to Nanny Li to decide whether she can eat or not.

Shangguan Sitong went to eat on time, and the room was empty. Others had already finished their meals and cleaned up.

She was injured and hungry. She couldn't stand it anymore and went to settle the score angrily.

I didn't expect to see a man with blood all over his legs. Everyone surrounded him and rubbed salt into his wounds.

Shangguan Sitong was puzzled. Wouldn’t that be more painful?

The injured man bit his lips until they turned white, and he tried hard not to make a sound.

After a while, a blood-red flesh worm fell out of his wound.

Looking at the bloody hole on the man's leg, Shangguan Sitong covered her mouth in disbelief.

Nanny Li stepped on the explosive bug and said, "The leech has come out. Apply some medicine to him. You don't have to go to the fields these days. Do some easy work."

Shangguan Sitong couldn't bear to ask: "He's already injured like this, and you still let him work."

Everyone looked over.

Nanny Li had no expression on her face. "His foot was injured, but his hand was not. How would he eat if he didn't work?"

Which farmer can stay idle?

If your feet are injured, you can do some work with your hands. It's better than lying in bed and earning nothing.
