In order not to be deformed, Ying Zi had no choice but to admit that she had drained Lin Yuelan's fields and was planning to trap her eldest uncle, Lin Changmao.
When the truth was revealed, it only shocked everyone.
No one would have thought that the girl who was well-behaved, intelligent, and wise, in their eyes, was actually a cunning and cruel child. At that moment, everyone's eyes on Ying Zi were no longer kind and friendly. Everyone was worried that they would conspire against the next.
As Ying Zi acknowledged the matter, Gu Sanniang's entire body went limp. He mumbled softly, “It's over, it's over, it's over!” Then, he angrily shouted at Ying Zi, “Omong blank what are you talking about? It was obviously me who sabotaged his field. Why should you blame yourself? ” After yelling at his daughter, he then questioned Lin Yuelan in annoyance, “I'm the one who drained your fields. Why are you forcing my daughter to admit what she didn't do? What's your intention?”
To protect his daughter's reputation, he had to sacrifice himself. Otherwise, his daughter's life might be completely ruined.
Lin Yuelan sighed in her heart.
Gu Sanniang's reputation in the Lin Family Village was neither good nor bad. Although she cheated frequently after her husband died, she did so with great care. When he was beaten up by Lin Changmao's wife many years ago, it was said that it was for another reason and not cheating. Lin Changmao's wife also did not want the family scandal to spread.
Therefore, Gu Sanniang looked shrewd, strong, and greedy to others. However, the reason he did all this was to make sure that he and his son could live on and not be bullied.
Thus, Ying Zi could grow up safely and smoothly without being sold by her grandparents because she had her mother to protect her.
However, because she was too protective and affectionate towards Ying Zi, Ying Zi became a very selfish person. Ying Zi did not have a bottom line. Whether it was out of envy or jealousy, as long as there was someone better than him, he wanted to destroy them.
At this time, the mother sacrificed herself to protect her daughter's reputation.
This kind of motherly love is heartwarming.
However, Lin Yuelan had fought for five years in the apocalypse without love, family, and friendship. His heart had long since become cold and hard. It was impossible for him to let them go just because of Gu Sanniang's selfless maternal love for his daughter.
Ever since he was betrayed in the apocalypse and reborn in another world, he had followed the principle of revenge against anyone who wronged him.
So, since Ying Zi hurt him, he had to be punished.
Lin Yuelan said, “Gu Sanniang, your unconditional motherly love is indeed touching. But, to be honest, the one who poisoned you wasn't me. Do you know who it is? ”
The mother and child were shocked. Even the surrounding spectators had the same surprised expression.
Before Gu Sanniang and the others could say anything, Lin Yuelan continued, “Last night, the King of Hell came to my dream and told me that someone had drained my stool.
“She said she sent her ghost to get revenge. The culprit has been poisoned. He gave me the antidote because the culprit would need it from me. He even specifically told me that the culprit had to admit his mistake before I could give him the antidote.”
Suddenly, Lin Yuelan shouted into the air, “thank you!”
After which, the surrounding villagers felt a cold wind on their backs. Their hair stood up, and they were horrified.
Lin Yuelan then turned to Gu Sanniang and said, “Aunt Gu, do you still want to insist that it was you who drained my field water to trap Lin Changmao's family?”
If he admitted to the crime, Lin Yuelan would not give them the antidote. Her daughter's reputation will be saved, but her injuries will remain.
If he let Ying Zi confess his crime, Lin Yuelan would give them the antidote. However, his daughter's reputation would be ruined.
He didn't want any of these options.
Gu Sanniang was so angry that blood flowed profusely, then he vomited and fainted.
After he fainted, he fell backwards. The cloth covering his face tilted to one side, and his face instantly opened.
“Ah!” After seeing the pus and blood on Gu Sanniang's face, some people, especially the women, were terrified.
His face was too scary.
Ying Zi's expression changed when she saw her mother vomit blood and fall. “Mother!”
When he saw that everyone had seen his mother's face, he immediately shouted at Lin Yuelan angrily, “Are you satisfied now ?!” The hatred in his eyes was very strong.
Lin Yuelan's sharp eyes looked at Ying Zi, and she said coldly, “You reaped what you sowed! Take this antidote. Watch yourself. You should know that there are always eyes watching me. ”
His words were meant for Ying Zi and the villagers.
After which, Lin Yuelan ignored the frightened expressions of the crowd and entered the house.
After Lin Yuelan disappeared, everyone looked at each other with their palms open, breaking out in cold sweat.
That's too scary!
There are ghosts around them!
They had always thought that Lin Yuelan's claim that the King of Hell had sent a little demon to protect her was just a lie. But that is the truth! Anyone who tried to harm Lin Yuelan would secretly be avenged!
In the future, they did not dare to do anything in secret to harm Lin Yuelan anymore. It was a small matter if revenge was done on themselves, but the most frightening thing was that revenge would involve the entire family.
After thinking for a while, everyone left.
No one noticed the unconscious Gu Sanniang and the crying Ying Zi.
Hence, no one noticed that the hatred in Ying Zi's eyes was like boiling lava in a volcano waiting to erupt at any moment.
From that day on, the lives of Ying Zi and her mother were plunged into an abyss of suffering.
They are treated like evil women wherever they go. News of Gu Sanniang's affair with the man also spread. The biggest news was that he was sleeping with his cousin, Lin Changmao.
The news of Ying Zi draining the curse field to trap Lin Changmao also spread to the Lin Family Village. When the Lin Changmao family heard this, they were angry and scared.
They were angry that they had been framed, but they were afraid because if Lin Yuelan really took revenge on them, then their seedlings would die. Then, how are they going to pay government taxes and eat for the rest of the year?
Thinking about the possible consequences is frightening.
Fortunately, Lin Yuelan responded and did not blame them.
The more Lin Changmao's family thought about it, the more furious they became. In the end, they couldn't take it anymore. The entire family damaged Gu Sanniang's house using long poles and sticks. They didn't care that she was a widow with an orphan. They destroyed everything that could be destroyed to vent their anger.
Lin Yuelan did not care about the situation of Gu Sanniang and Ying Zi. He's too busy.
While he was busy taking care of Lin Mingqing, he also had to check the condition of the seedlings every day. He also has to pay attention to the changes in the weather at all times. Once there was rain, he had to cover the fields.
The days passed, and soon, the seedlings had grown three to four leaves. They can be transplanted into rice fields from a nursery.
Fortunately, today it wasn't raining, which saved Lin Yuelan from a lot of trouble.
Jiang Zhennan took out a seedling from the nursery and looked at the soft seedling that only had three leaves. He asked with an expression of disbelief, “Nona Yue ‘Er, is this really enough? Aren't you going to let them grow a little bigger and taller first? ”
Lin Yuelan nodded and said, “This is the best time to transplant them. Once they are on the field, they will soon take root. If we let them grow a little bigger, we'll miss the best time. Then, we will not get the best results.”
Jiang Zhennan did not understand it that much. However, looking at the small and gentle seedling, he still had doubts in his heart. ‘Will this really work? Will the result be high this way?’
The seedlings must be pulled in to be moved.
Lin Yuelan gave them a demonstration. He pulled the seedlings from the field, washed the soil from the roots, and then tied them with dry grass.
Twelve small asked curiously, “Miss Lin, why are you cleaning the ground? Wouldn't a seed die without soil? Plus, why did you tie it with dry grass?”
Lin Yuelan explained to the curious children, “twelve small, how far our farm is from the nursery.”
Twelve small said, “will take at least half an hour to walk.”
Lin Yuelan nodded and replied, “ya, I will answer the first question now. The reason why I wash the soil is because it will lose haul weight. That way, we can bring more seeds at once. Most importantly, washing will help separate the roots from the leaves. During transplantation, you will not pluck the roots and leaves randomly, which will destroy the seedlings.
“As for the third question, Baby Twelve, why do you think so?”
Hearing Lin Yuelan call him a baby, the twelve little ones scratched the back of his head and blushed. She said shyly, “Miss Lin, I am not a baby. I'm an adult now. Why do you keep calling me baby?”
Lin Yuelan would call him ‘bayi’ occasionally. He was curious about it, and finally, he asked a question.
Lin Yuelan rolled her eyes and said, “because only babies are very curious and have many questions.”
“Pfft!” The others could not help but laugh.
The twelve small ones were often called ‘bayi’ by Lin Yuelan, and so were the others. So that's what he meant.
After Lin Yuelan's demonstration, even though her people were rude, they quickly started to work. They do it faster and faster, and the more they do it, the more energetic they are.
Lin Yuelan predicted that they would use all morning for transplantation. According to the workforce of five people unfamiliar with the transplant, they will plant about one Mu on the first day. Once they get used to it, they can complete the work of five mu of land in one and a half days.
Lin Yuelan asked them to bring the pulled seedlings and two sinks. They also carry rope and bamboo pieces. Although they did not know why Lin Yuelan had asked them to bring these items, they did according.
Since Lin Yuelan had bought five mu of land in the Zhou Family Village, they had to pass through the village entrance. Along the way, everyone saw Lin Yuelan's group carrying items that looked like seedlings. They were confused and curious, and at the same time, they felt that Lin Yuelan's group had sinned from destroying the seedlings.
Of course, no one dared to stop them.
As they passed through the village entrance, they saw Lin Mingliang standing there. When he saw Lin Yuelan and the others, he immediately approached them.
However, when he saw Lin Yuelan and the items her group had brought, he felt a little confused. However, he said simply and honestly, “Lan ‘Er, I heard that your family is planting seeds today. My father asked me to come and help.”
Lin Yuelan wanted to share her knowledge with the village chief's family, so Lin Yuelan did not refuse the offer of help.
He nodded and said, “Alright!”
After reaching their goal, Lin Yuelan looked at the flat land with sufficient water and nodded in satisfaction.
This time, there was no destruction.
Lin Yuelan looked at the corner covered in ash. Lin Yuelan had asked them to prepare for this over the past few days. There are no chemical fertilizers at this time. The only alternative is human waste or ash.
Human feces will be too strong for seedlings at the transplant stage. Therefore, Lin Yuelan chose to use grass ash as fertilizer first.
Lin Yuelan said to the three small and the others, “You go and spread the ash evenly in the field.”
Little Three, Little Six, and Little Twelve took out a pot to fill it with ash and spread the ashes in the field.
Lin Yuelan pointed to the two wooden basins and said, “Put some grass ash on these two basins and mix them evenly with water. They will come in handy later.” He handed the basin to Jiang Zhennan and Guo Bing.
They both said nothing and went to work.
Lin Mingliang, who was standing at the side, was dumbfounded. He did not understand what this girl was doing.
‘Are we not here to plant seeds? So where's the seed?’ He did not see any seed but pulled out the seedlings. Heart hurts.
He asked, “Lan ‘Er, why did you unplug this seedling? Isn't this a waste?”
Lin Yuelan shook her head and said, “Uncle Mingliang, you will know soon.”
Then, Lin Yuelan opened the dry grass wrap around the seedlings one by one. Then he tied one end of the rope to the edge of the field and pulled it to the other end. Lin Mingliang looked at him and quickly stepped forward. He said, a little embarrassed, “Lan ‘Er, what can I help you with? You see, everyone's busy, and I'm the only one watching. How embarrassing!”
Lin Yuelan smiled and said, “Uncle Mingliang, please rest for a while. I have a job you have to do in a moment.”
Jiang Zhennan and Guo Bing quickly returned with a basin.
Jiang Zhennan handed it to Lin Yuelan to look at and asked, “Nona Yue ‘Er, is this alright?”
Lin Yuelan looked at the ash mud and nodded. “Ya.”
There was a touch of excitement on Jiang Zhennan's cold face. He then asked, “What should I do next?”
Lin Yuelan pointed to the field and said, “I need you and Brother Guo to stick bamboo pieces along the rope.”
Jiang Zhennan and Guo Bing followed Lin Yuelan's instructions.
After a while, the other three and two came.
Everyone gathered, and Lin Yuelan demonstrated, “You need to plant seedlings along bamboo pieces. Make sure it is about half a foot and two inches from each other. Plant them too close, and they will fight for nutrients and sunlight. Plant them too far, and it will be a field space.” Lin Yuelan demonstrated the planting for one line and handed the rest to them.
As Lin Mingliang watched and listened, he was perplexed. He doesn't know what's going on. He was used to throwing seeds into the fields and leaving them alone. He didn't know so much knowledge involved.
The leading question in his mind is, ‘How does Lan ‘Er know so many things?’ However, despite his confusion, he did not ask anything. He was always someone who worked more and spoke less. He followed another example.
Lin Yuelan was responsible for arranging the line with the rope. In order to save time, he pulled Lin Mingliang to help him as well.
Lin Mingliang followed Lin Yuelan's instructions. After measuring the distance with a wooden stick, he would insert a piece of bamboo along the rope.
Others followed the bamboo pieces and planted the seedlings after soaking the roots with ash mud.
As they become more and more familiar with the process, they become more and more motivated and excited.
In less than half a day, all the seedlings had been planted. This was much faster than Lin Yuelan had expected.
Of course, Lin Yuelan did not expect Lin Mingliang's help.
Lin Mingliang looked at the seedlings already planted in the fields and asked suspiciously, “Lan ‘Er, won't these seeds die?”
Lin Yuelan smiled and said, “They won't do it.” Then, he explained, “Actually the way I use is similar to tree sapling transplantation. It's just that tree growth cycles are longer, so people don't realize that transplanting can make the planting process much easier.
“This rice seedling will take three to four months to grow. No one thinks of using transplant techniques to maximize the use of field space and thus maximize the harvest. But I still want to try it.”
Lin Mingliang still did not understand. However, he understood the last sentence. This was an experiment for Lin Yuelan as well.
Lin Mingliang frowned slightly and said anxiously, “Lan ‘Er, what if the seedling died? If you miss this growing season, there will be nothing to harvest.”
Lin Yuelan shook her head and said, “Uncle Mingliang, we must be innovative. No one knows if something will work if we don't try it, right? ”
Lin Mingliang was a straightforward man who liked to be straightforward. He was a little confused by Lin Yuelan. But because he had voiced his concerns, he remained silent.
Jiang Zhennan looked at the green seedlings that had been planted in the fields, and a hint of excitement appeared on his cold face. He asked, “Nona Yue ‘Er, I did not expect there would be so much knowledge involved in rice farming.” There is fertilization, nutrition, and arrangement to ensure the seeds get enough sunlight.
Lin Yuelan looked at the cultivated rice field and said, “There is knowledge that can be found anywhere in the world. The world is a book.”
Guo Bing nodded and clapped his hands. “Sounds good!”
There is indeed a lot of knowledge to be gained from something simple, such as cooking and farming.
“Miss Lin, I did not expect that you would be able to understand the mysteries of the world and the ways of the world at such a young age. I am very impressed!” Guo Bing praised without hesitation.
Lin Yuelan's mouth twitched, and she felt a little embarrassed.
Lin Yuelan coughed a few times and said, “enough flattery. I am just a farmer's daughter from the countryside. Let's pack up and go home. ”
Lin Mingliang was even more confused by the exchange of words and proverbs. To his knowledge, Lan ‘Er was not a literate person.
After all, as long as Lan ‘Er did not commit murder, arson, or harm the village, she was not worried.
