The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

Chapter 435: Rice Field Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios After Granny Chen left, Ji Xiang smiled and said to Li Yu, “Madam, you don’t know that Earl Jianning’s family complained first and sued us in the imperial court.

Master brought Young Master… His Majesty punished Old Madam Jianning to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures in the Buddhist Hall.

This morning, Earl Jianning came to the house to apologize.

” Li Yu was not surprised by Old Madam Jianning’s ending at all.

She said indifferently, “Don’t bother about his family.

It’s better not to interact with such an unclear person.

” She smiled and asked Ji Xiang, “How is Gu Yu like during pregnancy?

Does she suffer from nausea?

” Ti Xiang grimaced.

“I heard from the old woman that she can’t smell anv oil or smoke.

She vomits when she catches a whiff.

” Looking at Ji Xiang’s worried expression, she smiled and reminded him, “This is Gu Yu’s first child.

Some women have to be more delicate when they’re pregnant.

You have to care about her more.

Don’t leave everything to the old woman.

” Ji Xiang bowed and said, “Yes, Madam.

Do you have anything else?

If not, I’ll go back to the city first.

” Li Yu thought of Laidi.

Although her aunt had told her not to care about her, her aunt might still blame her if she really didn’t care.

“Go wash your face with hot water before you leave.

When you get back, quietly go to the Tongzhou Guild Hall to see how Laidi is doing.

If there’s nothing else, don’t worry about her.

If there’s anything, come back and tell me before making a decision.

It’s best if you find someone who knows about her to help us keep an eye out.

If there’s anything, come and inform us.

” “I’ll go back and take a look.

If there’s nothing else, I’ll send something to you in two days.

If there’s anything, I’ll tell you tomorrow morning.

” Li Yu smiled and nodded.

“Be careful on the way.

Don’t rush.

” After Ji Xiang left, Granny Chen washed up and came to see Li Yu.

“Madam, I’ll massage your legs for you.

” Seeing her obedient appearance, Li Yu smiled and said to her, “Granny Chen, my family is small and the rules are not heavy.

You don’t have to be so restrained.

I believe Ji Xiang has already told you my family’s rules.

As long as you don’t break the rules, Master and I will treat you well.

” Granny Chen bent her knees and bowed.

“Madam, I’ve been sold by my parents since I was six years old.

I was originally thinking of where to go after leaving the palace.

His Majesty’s eunuch came to me and said that your family wanted a medical woman, so I agreed and followed General Shen to the residence.

Manager Ji Xiang told me the rules of the family on the way.

Don’t worry, I’ve been around for… decades.

I know that people can only live long if they play their part.

Those who are greedy won’t have a good ending.

” Li Yu nodded.

“Alright, follow me.

” Granny Chen followed Li Yu to Little Loach’s room.

Li Yu saw that Little Stutterer had fallen asleep in front of the bed.

She looked at Little Loach’s expression and felt that it was much better than yesterday.

Li Yu pointed at Little Loach and brought Granny Chen out of the house.

“That child is Young Master’s follower.

Yesterday, he was kicked in the chest.

The Old Master said that his sternum might have cracks and he has to recuperate for a few days.

My body is still very good.

Help me take care of him.

” “Yes, Madam, ” Granny Chen replied.

“Alright, I’ll get Xing Hua to bring you to meet Auntie Zhang and the rest.

I’ll go out for a walk.

” Xing Hua said to Li Yu, “Madam, wait for me at the door for a while.

I’ll send Granny to the main room before accompanying you out.

” Li Yu waved her hand without looking back and walked towards the front courtyard.

Granny Chen looked at Xing Hua in surprise.

She was taken aback to see that this girl actually dared to make Madam wait for her.

She would have been beaten up in the palace long ago.

Li Yu wore a straw hat with a thin veil sewn on the brim and walked to the cornfield outside the courtyard.

She walked along the field to the bamboo forest behind the house.

When she arrived at the back of the house, she saw that there were four piglets in the pigpen behind the house and a group of chicks in the bamboo forest.

There was a small path about three feet wide in the bamboo forest.

Outside the bamboo forest, there were more than ten small courtyards built with wheat straw.

Li Yu thought that these small courtyards were probably where those tenants lived.

Li Yu went to the field and slowly strolled around.

She looked at the crops in the field.

The seedlings had already been divided.

Li Yu saw that the leaves were dark green and felt that the growth was too strong, causing the number of seedlings to decrease.

There were also many empty shells.

Li Yu stood on the field and looked around.

She saw a tall and strong woman walking towards the rice field with a bucket.

When she saw Li Yu standing there, she hesitated and wanted to turn around.

“Sister-in-law, may I ask whose field this is?

” Li Yu stopped her.

The woman put down the bucket and tucked her loose hair behind her ear.

She smiled and walked not far in front of Li Yu.

She said confidently, “Madam, this field belongs to my family.

The seedlings are growing especially well this year.

” Li Yu looked at her and shook her head.

“Sister-in-law, your field water needs to be properly drained and dried.

You’ve filled your field with too much water.

Splitting it too much will affect the production.

” The woman looked at Li Yu in surprise and said to herself, ‘You’re the Madam of a rich family.

Do you know how to plant crops?

There are many rice grains.

What do you know!

” “Madam, you don’t understand the matters of our family.

We can only harvest more rice if we split more!

” Li Yu glanced at her.

“Sister-in-law, are these fields planted by your own family or are they under tenancy?

” The woman glanced at Li Yu.

“My fields belong to the Zhou family.

Why are you asking?

” Li Yu looked at her and said, “That’s good.

I’m the Madam of the Zhou family.

Listen to me and release some of the seedling water.

It’s fine as long as there’s a shallow layer of water in the field.

Otherwise, there will be too much rice and empty shells.

It will affect the production.

” Seeing this, the woman still didn’t want to back down.

However, she was afraid of offending Li Yu if she didn’t go easy on her.

She smiled awlwvardly and said, “Madam, wait a moment.

I’ll call the head of the family over.

You can speak with him.

” Li Yu nodded and walked around the field.

She realized that this situation existed on in these fields.

The water in the fields separated by a main road was much shallower.

Li Yu wondered to herself if these people had never planted rice before.

Otherwise, how could they not know that during the dividing period, plots of land should be properly drained and sunned?

After a while, a tall man and a woman rushed over.

The man bowed to Li Yu and said, “Greetings, Madam.

” Li Yu raised her hand and said, “There’s no need to be so polite.

That’s your family, right?

” “Yes, Madam.

This is my wife, Madam Su.

She said you asked me to release the seedlings,” Tang Yong replied respectfully.

Li Yu pointed at the seedlings in the field on the other side of the road.

“Look, it’s normal for others to split the seedlings.

The color of other farm’s seedlings isn’t as thick as yours.

Your family’s are turning from green to black and there are too many seedlings.

Controlling them is beneficial for dividing them into ears.

” When Tang Yong heard Li Yu’s words, he compared his seedlings to those in the field beside him.

He felt that Li Yu wouldn’t lie to him because this was the Zhou family’s field after all.

If there was less production, it would also affect the Zhou family’s harvest.

“Thank you for your reminder, Madam.

I’ll go dig a hole and fill the water.

” Madam Su smiled at Li Yu and followed him to dig the gap.

Li Yu followed and told Tang Yong and his wife what to pay attention to.

She slowly walked around the field towards the bamboo forest..
