I'M THE FARMGIRL YOU CAN'T MESS WITH

Chapter 131: Upholding Justice

Editor: Atlas Studios

When Mu Shi returned to the camp, there were still more than ten acres of wheat left to plant. Mu Yangling and Madam Ma-Liu spent three days planting that with one pulling a plow and the other supporting the plow. Now, only two acres of high-grade land and two acres of medium-grade land remained unplanted in the southern corner.

“Ah Ling, I think we should plant it like the rest. Why experiment?” Madam Ma-Liu felt that she could barely straighten her back and dreaded the thought of slowly dragging this out.

However, Mu Yangling insisted. “Great-aunt, there are many ways to farm. I want to try different methods so that we can choose a better method next year. Although it’s a little tough, it’s all worth it. However, the intensity of the labor these few days is too high. You can rest for two days. Since there’s nothing else going on right now, let’s leave these two plots for two days.”

Not used to resting before finishing her work, Madam Ma-Liu frowned.

However, Mu Yangling stood up and said, “I’ll go to Cousin Li’s house to take a look. His family has 40 acres of land, and there’s only him and his mother working on it. Now that Cousin Li has returned to the camp, he definitely hasn’t finished planting. I’ll go over to help for two days. You and the kids can rest.”

When Madam Ma-Liu heard her say that, she thought of the difficulties of being an orphan and a widow. So, she hurriedly said, “Alright, go quickly. I’ll take care of things at home.”

Mu Yangling carried a fish to Liu Li’s house early in the morning. As it had been a long time since she had entered the mountains, the only non-vegetarian food they had been eating was fish. Although they were a tad sick of it, they needed meat for the strength to work.

Despite the fact that it was not late when Mu Yangling reached Liu Li’s house, Madam Liu-Ma was no longer at home. Sticking her head into the courtyard, Mu Yangling saw that there was an iron plow in the corner. She supported herself with one hand on the wall and jumped in. She threw the fish into the kitchen, carried the iron plow, and jumped out again.

Since it was peak farming season at the moment, the only ones who remained in the village were children under the age of five who could not go to the fields. Mu Yangling casually pulled one over and asked, “Do you know where Liu Li’s land is?”

“Who is Liu Li?”

Mu Yangling pointed at Liu Li’s house. The child she grabbed replied in a childish voice, “Oh, you mean Grandma Ma? Her land is at the foot of the ridge. I’ll bring you there.”

When Liu Li requested for a splitting of family assets, he was very unyielding. He did not want the 100 acres of military field, but chose the best 40 acres of land that was connected together. Third Great-uncle was wary of his current status and did not dare to object forcefully. He could only swallow this anger, but he could not help treating him with a snarky attitude.
