I'M THE FARMGIRL YOU CAN'T MESS WITH

Chapter 225: Spoils of War

Editor: Atlas Studios

The weather began to turn cold, and the corn stalks in the field were already half-withered. Mu Yangling crawled into the cornfield and broke off a corn. She peeled off the skin and saw that the corn kernels inside were golden and plump. When she pinched them with her fingers, they were hard. Unlike more than ten days ago, when pulp would get all over her fingers with just a pinch. This time, only her nails were slightly wet after the skin broke.

Mu Yangling handed the corn to Xiuhong and said, “The corn is ready for harvest. Go back and tell Great-aunt that we’ll go into the fields tomorrow.”

Xiuhong happily agreed and rubbed her arms. “The weather is about to turn cold. If we don’t harvest now, the corn won’t survive.”

“That’s why we’re very lucky.” Mu Yangling said, “We actually managed to plant it for a second season.”

The sisters took a few corncobs home and were about to tell Great-aunt the good news when they saw many people standing in front of their house.

Mu Yangling and Xiuhong looked at each other and ran back. Before Mu Yangling could reach them, she heard a deep voice say, “Fellow villagers, I was transferred to the front line and was not in the same place as the other soldiers of the 5th Division, so I don’t know their situation. However, the war has ended now. Everyone should be able to receive the news in two days. Fellow villagers, go back and wait for a few more days.”

The villagers who came to gather information left in disappointment, revealing Mu Yangling behind them.

When Mu Yangling saw Mu Shi standing at the door with an unshaven beard, her eyes lit up. She shouted and climbed up to hug her father’s arm, shouting, “Father, you’re back!”

Mu Shi’s face was also filled with a smile as he stroked her hair with eyes full of smiles. “Yeah I’m back.”

Shu Wanniang was leaning against the door with the twins, looking at the father and daughter. When she saw Mu Shi walking over, she glanced at him and squatted in front of the twins. She pointed at Mu Shi and said, “This is your father. Quickly call him Father.”

Almost a year old, the twins stood on the ground and tried their best to look up at Mu Shi. They called out incoherently before hiding behind their mother timidly to peek at this big guy.

Feeling guilty, Mu Shi squatted down and looked at the two children at eye level. He took out some trinkets from his pocket and shook them. “This is for you. Do you want them?”

Bosi and Kejia looked at the trinkets, then at the big guy in front of them. Finally, they stuck their heads out to look at their sister and realized that she was looking at them with a smile. Instantly, their confidence multiplied. They snatched the trinkets from Mu Shi’s hands and hugged them.
