I'M THE FARMGIRL YOU CAN'T MESS WITH

Chapter 105: Rules

Editor: Atlas Studios

Madam Ma-Liu’s gaze swept between Mu Shi and Mu Yangling before finally landing on the latter. She said, “If your father’s around, it wouldn’t be a problem for us to plant more than half of the 180 acres of land. However, your father won’t be at home, so we have to rely on the old and weak. It’s already not bad if we can plant 20 acres. Even if we have plowing oxens, we can only plant an additional 10 acres. Rocky, you have to clarify how much grains we have to hand over to the army after autumn. Otherwise, we won’t even be able to submit enough for the army’s share.”

Mu Yangling and Mu Shi looked at each other. Neither of them had thought of this. They had already obtained the land, but they still couldn’t plant it?

“Then, should I go and take a look at our family’s land tomorrow? But Little General is gathering the troops for a lecture tomorrow. I can’t spare the time,” Mu Shi said, vexed.

“Father, I’ll go.” Mu Yangling said, “I’ll go get firewood in the morning and go to check out the land with Great-aunt in the afternoon. Father, you don’t know how to access the condition of the soil, so it’s useless even if you go. Why don’t you let Great-aunt go and see it? When the time comes, we can just farm the fertile lands. Since we only have to pay 40% to the army, isn’t there still 60% for us to eat? We’ll just try to plant as much as we can.”

Xiuhong quickly said, “My sister and I can help, too.”

Little Bowen quickly squeezed over. “Me too, me too.”

Mu Yangling glanced at their small bodies and ignored them.

Xiuhong said indignantly, “Cousin, I can do a lot of work. I’ll go get firewood with you tomorrow.”

“Sure.” Mu Yangling said readily, “Then you have to get up early tomorrow.”

Xiulan and Little Bowen also wanted to go.

“Forget about it. The two of you are still growing. You should sleep more.” Then, she said, “You two stay at home to take care of the baby twins. They need someone to accompany them.”

Only then did the two of them stop pestering her.

There weren’t many families like the Mu family who had land but couldn’t plant all of it. This was because those who enlisted as soldiers mostly had at least a brother, and the old and young in the family could all work. Although 100 to 200 acres was a lot, they could more or less finish planting it if they started early and returned home late.
