After Xue Erfu finished speaking, he did not wait for Jiang Yue and Xue Yan to speak and hurriedly strode back to Locust Village to call Xue Yifu.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan could only stand beside the carriage and wait.

Although they were on the side of the road, they could still see that some paddy fields in the distance had already been planted with early rice seeds. When the seedlings were ready, they could be transplanted.

Now, most of the villagers in the village were using seeds bought from the seed shops in town. As long as they were transplanted, there would be changes in her s.p.a.ce.

In the first half of the year, many of her seeds had been planted. Jiang Yue knew how obvious the changes in the yellow soil in her s.p.a.ce would be after the first half of the year.

Xue Yan did not know that Jiang Yue had a s.p.a.ce, nor did he know that the yellow soil and water in Jiang Yue’s s.p.a.ce would change because of transplanting. He only saw that although Jiang Yue was calm, she seemed to be looking at the seedling field in the distance very happily. He said, “Our family should have already finished the seedling field and sowed the early rice seeds.’

“That’s great.” Jiang Yue nodded.

Although their family did not have as many paddy fields, with only 14 acre, their family business had grown much bigger compared to last year. Their family would definitely be too busy to harvest all this rice. Whether it was paddy fields or dry land, they would definitely hire people to plant and harvest the crops for their family.

Jiang Yue thought about the tomatoes, strawberries, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and other things that were not available here last year. Next month will be the peak season for planting crops. Jiang Yue said, “l want to plant something that is not available here this year.”

Xue Yan had no objections and nodded. However, after thinking about it, he added.

“How about this? You can directly produce strong seedlings. I’ll lie and tell the secret guards to find wild things in the mountains.

“Then, I’ll give them to Zhongxi and ask him to help. I’ll tell our family that he asked someone to help us find wild things because we planted a lot of wild things last year. We can say that we told him that these fruits can be planted and sold.

“Shao Zhongxi has finally accepted us and is not suspicious of us anymore. He won’t question us when we do things. As long as we ask him for help, he will definitely agree. This way, we won’t have to pretend to dig in the mountains ourselves.’

“Alright.” Jiang Yue had no objections. This was convenient. “However, it’s better to let our family know first. We should tell them when the time comes. When we go back, tell them that we’ve already asked Master Gu to get people to help us find wild things to plant so that our family can plant them and that they shield leave some land for us to farm. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be good if our family arranged for all the land to be planted with other things. We’ll have to buy land then and that would be a waste of time.”

“l agree, it’s best to tell them first.”

Just as he finished speaking, Xue Yan saw Lizheng come out from Liu Village. The Liu Village chief sent Lizheng to the entrance of Liu Village. It was unknown what Lizheng said, but Liu Clan Village Chief kept nodding.

Jiang Yue saw it too, but she was too far away to hear what was being said.

At the entrance of Liu Village, the village chief saw that Village Chief Liu had said goodbye and was ready to go home. However, after taking two steps, he still looked quite worried. He turned around and whispered to Village Chief Liu, ” In short, you have to be careful of Liu Guishengs family. Although they have not caused any trouble since they were locked up in the county government for a few days, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not cause trouble again. Don’t you know how much we are relying on that family now? Please don’t harm our villages because of that family..”
