I'M THE FARMGIRL YOU CAN'T MESS WITH

Chapter 126: Stealing Fish

Editor: Atlas Studios

Mu Yangling squatted at the edge of the field and rubbed the mud in her hands. With a sigh, she stood up to say to her great-aunt, “This won’t do.”

Great-aunt looked up at the sky and the sun shone brightly into her eyes. Despite wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket, she could only feel a little warmth. It was almost February 2nd, but the ice and snow had yet to start melting. How could it melt completely at the end of February?

If the temperature in the fields couldn’t keep up, the seeds couldn’t be sown. The camp had already distributed the seeds. Great-aunt had carefully checked and found that there were no problems with the seeds. Furthermore, Mu Yangling was very surprised to see that there were enough seeds. She wondered what method Qi Xiuyuan had used to make the Imperial Court distribute so many seeds.

“Ah Ling.” Madam Hu-Jin jogged over with a smile and shouted, “Hurry up and take a look. The ice in the ground has melted!”

Mu Yangling jumped up. “It melted? It hasn’t started melting when I checked it yesterday.”

Madam Hu-Jin smiled and said, “It always happens suddenly, doesn’t it? Everyone went to take a look. Isn’t there a canal that passes through your land? Do you want to take a look?”

“Alright, let’s go.” Mu Yangling abandoned what she was doing and dragged Xiuhong along to take a look.

Many people gathered by the river to watch the commotion. The melting of the ice in the river meant that the temperature in the ground would also rise. It would not be long before the seeds could be planted.

Mu Yangling ran to the river and knocked on the ice with her stick, making a thumping sound. She exerted a little force with her hand, and the ice cracked. The ice fell into the river, and the flowing river immediately swallowed the ice and disappeared from under the ice.

Mu Yangling smiled until her eyes curved. The ice had indeed melted.

As the ice was shattered, a fish jumped out of the river. Xiuhong exclaimed, but Mu Yangling subconsciously swept the fish that had landed on the ice to the side, not letting it fall into the river again.

“Fish!” Xiuhong shouted and was about to run up to grab it when Mu Yangling grabbed her collar and pulled her back. “Are you courting death? The ice has thinned.”

Xiuhong was anxious. “Cousin, what a big fish! Take it back for Aunt to eat. It’s perfect for milking.”
