Chapter 575: Chapter 575: The Worry of Not Being Fed and Clothed Well Chapter 575: Chapter 575: The Worry of Not Being Fed and Clothed Well As for Zhou Liang…

A man who doesn’t even know how rice grows, intending to learn her kind of skill, she could only laugh.

“Him?”

Lin Changhong also looked at him with disdain.

“He really is an ugly duckling acting up, spending all day not studying but getting into mischief with Liu Yushui. His grandfather, Elder Mr. Zhou, will be driven mad by him sooner or later.”

Hearing this, Lin Caisang raised her eyes and glanced indifferently at her own brother.

“If he seriously studied, that would be something to worry about.”

“True.” Lin Changhong nodded.

“Bro, I have to go to the county in a few days, and it might take a while before I get back. Please take care of things here and don’t let Zhou Liang and his people interfere.” Lin Caisang reminded him.

Although she was not fearful, to the Lin family, Zhou Liang was truly a menace, one that unfortunately couldn’t be eliminated.

“You should also visit.” Lin Changhong said.

“Now Zhong You doesn’t go to the county either, he stays here and helps us. Sangsang, you have to keep an eye on the Scent Pavilion. You should bring back some silver this trip. Even though the autumn imperial exam is some time away, we need to start preparing for Brother Changfeng’s expenses. Otherwise, it would keep bothering Third Aunt.”

“Mm.”

Lin Caisang naturally understood and nodded.

The date for the autumn imperial examination will be here before you know it. She should start getting ready, so she can accompany Lin Changfeng to Yejun. Of course, this is a precautionary measure in case the Zhou family tries to foul things up. With her there, she would surely find a way out of any difficulties.

“Bro, you should tell these people to go home. Tell them that next year we will lead the villagers to harvest two seasons of rice. They shouldn’t keep hanging around here, it’s of no use.”

Suddenly, she spoke.

“Wow, Sangsang, are you serious?”

No sooner had she finished speaking than she heard a woman far away from them scream excitedly and look at her joyfully.

Lin Caisang: “!!!”

How had she heard from that far? Had she overheard all of her words?

Did she hear the other things she was talking to her brother about? She’ll need to discuss matters at home in the future.

“Aunt Tao, have you been watching me the whole time?”

She asked the woman, half-jokingly but irritated, smiling at her.

“Hehe, well… I’m a bit closer, don’t worry, Sangsang, I didn’t hear anything else, I swear.” Aunt Tao chuckled, took a few steps closer to Lin Caisang and reassured her.

“Alright, I know Aunt Tao always keeps her mouth shut.” What else could Lin Caisang say?

Was she supposed to force Aunt Tao to admit that she had heard all of their conversation?

“Indeed, my mouth is very tight.” Aunt Tao clapped her hands when she heard her.

“Sangsang, are you serious about what you just said? Are you really going to lead us to harvest two seasons of rice next year?”

She asked Lin Caisang again, thinking about what she had heard before.

Actually, each family in their village does have a substantial amount of farmland. It’s just because they only plant one crop of rice a year, and it gets flooded by downpours and drought, that they’re perpetually worrying about food and clothing.

If they could grow two crops of rice a year, the first harvest alone, surviving the drought, would be enough to feed their families.

“If we could really grow two crops of rice, I would have my husband convert more of our dry fields into paddy fields. That would be great.”

Just the thought of it stirred her excitement.
