“Then should the farmers spend the rest of their lives farming and being poor?” Xiuhong’s eyes were red as she said indignantly, “We’ve worked so hard, but the gains from a year of hard work are not even comparable to a month or even a day of income for others. The Imperial Court also increases the taxes all the time. I still remember that one year, when the grains harvested by our family were not even sufficient for us to pay the taxes, Grandma had no choice but to pawn everything my father left for us…”
Xiuhong looked at the fields on both sides in a daze and said, “Farming depends entirely on the heavens. Just like a few years ago, the heavens didn’t bless us and the yield per acre was less than 120 catties. Grandma stayed in the fields all day long and was so tired that she couldn’t straighten her back. Cousin, I think raising rabbits is excellent because other than working a little hard at the beginning, things get much easier after the pasture grows taller. Furthermore, the rabbits can be put up for sale in just four months. Each batch earns us several times more money than the crops in the fields. But you’re right. If everyone stops farming, what will we eat?”
“But just because of this last sentence, the farmers have to work themselves to death farming their land in order to serve those who don’t farm?”
Mu Yangling couldn’t help but stop in her tracks. She said seriously, “That’s why I want everyone to not have to work so hard in the future and live on the whims of the heavens. Xiuhong, I know it’s very difficult, but someone has to move forward. If more people walk on that path, that path will start to widen. Your opinion isn’t wrong, but I hope you can keep it in your heart, okay?”
She wasn’t afraid that Xiuhong would cause the farmers to stray from farming, but she was afraid that Xiuhong would be hurt because of this.
Xiuhong asked, “Will I be able to make others accept my thoughts when I have enough ability in the future?”
Smiling, Mu Yangling said, “You have to become someone that others respect and believe in. Even if you have the ability, others might not believe in you. Faith can’t be changed just like that.”
Xiuhong nodded thoughtfully. Mu Yangling didn’t know if she understood.
The two of them bumped into Liu Ting and the rest who were going to the Mu family to build the house.
The rest of the Liu clan looked enviously at the roe deer on Ah Ling’s shoulder. Someone shouted, “Ah Ling, you can’t just let your Uncle Ting have all the good stuff. I am also your uncle, I don’t dare to ask for roe deer meat like them. Later, just catch a rabbit so that we can have a nice meal.”
Laughing, Mu Yangling said, “Don’t worry. After the house is completed, I’ll go into the mountains and catch a wild boar to send to you.”
“That’s good. Your cousins are all craving meat so much that their eyes are red. Remember, even if there are no wild boars, you can just let us try the roe deer meat later.”
