I'M THE FARMGIRL YOU CAN'T MESS WITH

Chapter 182: Calculation

Editor: Atlas Studios

Before Mu Yangling could refuse, Great-aunt took the rope from his hand and said with a smile, “Thank you, Big Brother Sun. You don’t have to specially let our family have the ox for three days. Just like everyone else, our family only needs it for half a day.”

Old Man Sun did not insist. Hearing this, he nodded and said, “Alright, bring it over to me when you’re done at noon. I’ll send it to the Hu family.”

Great-aunt agreed happily. After watching Old Man Sun leave, she said to Mu Yangling, “It’s better for the Sun family to hold the section commander position. At least everyone won’t have so much resentment.”

Now that Old Man Sun’s youngest son, Sun Yue, was the section commander, it was naturally the Sun family’s turn to distribute these resources.

The Sun family was very good at dealing with people. They didn’t make many changes to the Mu family’s previous rules. Each family still took turns having an oxen for half a day. But instead of deciding the order by means of a lottery like previously, it was up to the Sun family to arrange it now.

Just like the Mu family, the Sun family did not ask the people in the village to help with their farmwork. Instead, they did their own work. Although there were inevitably signs of favoritism in a few of the measures, with the Hu family as an earlier example, everyone accepted the current arrangement very well.

On the other hand, Mu Yangling didn’t have much of a reaction to this because she didn’t think that she would fight for those resources. Seeing that her great-aunt had accepted the ox, she couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Didn’t you say that the ox would always go astray and ruin the wheat? That it’s easier to order me around instead? Why did you accept it?”

Great-aunt glared at her. “How can you compare yourself to an ox? It’s good that we accept it. Otherwise, the villagers will think that we’re easy to bully when they see that we don’t want anything. Even if I don’t order this ox around, I’ll just spend half a day holding it.”

Embarrassed, Mu Yangling couldn’t help but say, “But Great-aunt, if the ox is in our hands, we have to be responsible for the fodder. Moreover, not only do we have to be responsible at this time, but we also have to be responsible for it in the future. Xiulan has to learn embroidery and help take care of the children. Xiuhong has to follow me to raise rabbits and do farm work. You also have to go into the city to set up a stall aside from doing farm work. My mother is busy with needlework all the time. Bowen has to go to school. Who has the time to be in charge of grazing the oxen?”

Great-aunt was dumbfounded. Only then did she remember that if they used an ox, not only would she have to be in charge of its fodder now, but she would also have to take turns grazing the oxen when farming was less busy in the future.

“Then, then can’t we just keep it for half a day?” After saying that, Great-aunt said with a determined expression, “It’s settled then. After lunch, I’ll talk to Old Man Sun. Considering your father is Little General’s most favored subordinate now, I don’t think he dares to arrange for our family to graze the oxen.”

“I wonder what he’s doing,” Mu Yangling muttered softly.

“What are you talking about?”
