I'M THE FARMGIRL YOU CAN'T MESS WITH

Chapter 195: Cooperation

Editor: Atlas Studios

Looking at the people carrying buckets and pushing carts on the road, Mu Yangling asked Liu Ting, “You call this not many people?”

“Don’t be dissatisfied.” Liu Ting said, “In a while, it will be more crowded, making it difficult to even walk. If we don’t water the fields in time, we’ll miss the timing for grain filling1 and the wheat grains will be deflated, resulting in a dismal output. So, we can’t rest at all now. If it weren’t for Little General’s order to stay away from the reservoir after seven o’clock, I’m afraid everyone would have watered their fields all night.”

The first time Mu Yangling went to the reservoir, Liu Ting had already been running around for two days. The river and reservoir were about the same distance from their land. Instead of running to the river first before running to the reservoir, it was better to familiarize herself with the journey from the reservoir to the field from the beginning.

Reservoir No. 2 was surrounded with people. Fortunately, there wasn’t a queue like what Liu Ting had mentioned. There were soldiers guarding the reservoir and patrolling back and forth to prevent any fights over the water.

Mu Yangling parked the cart under the reservoir for Liu Yuan and another cousin to stand guard by it. Then, she carried two buckets to fetch water.

Being young, small, and agile, in no time, she twisted her way to the front and threw the bucket down. When she raised it again, it was full. Seeing this, Liu Ting hurriedly called his cousins forward and said, “Ah Ling, you’ll be in charge of fetching water over there while we carry the filled buckets down.”

A burly man who was fetching water looked at Liu Ting in disdain when he heard that. Drawing water required much more strength and skill than carrying water. As much water had been drawn from the reservoir over the past few days, the water level had gone down by quite a lot. As such, they had to tie the wooden bucket with a rope and throw it down. When the wooden bucket was filled with water, they would bring it up. Only an adult would be able to pull up a bucket filled with water.

Mu Yangling had no objections. Everyone in the Liu clan knew Mu Yangling’s strength and was happy with such an arrangement. They lined up to place their wooden buckets over so that Mu Yangling could fill them with water.

Mu Yangling’s grip was strong, and she easily filled a pair of wooden buckets with water. Liu Ting quickly got someone to carry the filled buckets away. When she filled all the wooden buckets with water, no one came forward to bring her any more empty wooden buckets. There was indeed a long distance between here and their cart. When Mu Yangling saw a few teens pulling up the water buckets, she simply threw a bucket down and filled their bucket with water.

Stunned, the teens looked up at her.

Mu Yangling only smiled at them and continued to fetch water for them. The teens blushed and thanked her. “Thank you.” Then, they picked up the buckets and left in a panic.

However, a lot of people rushed up and squeezed their way through. This caused some of the water in their buckets to fall out, and one of them even fell to the ground after being bumped by someone, spilling all the water in the wooden bucket.
