Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 284 Asking for nothing in return

Qin said seriously.

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

An Yue put away the paper and pen, stood up and spoke again: "Today is the first time for everyone to dig herbs. Since everyone thinks it's good, I hope everyone won't announce the matter of digging herbs to the public."

"The timing is not yet ripe, so we have to keep it secret for now. After the first batch of herbs is delivered, we will consider adding more manpower based on various conditions."

At this time, it was already the end of the Shen period.

The village chief said to everyone, "Did everyone remember what Yueyue said?"

Everyone nodded to show that they understood.

The village chief said: "Everyone is tired from digging herbs, so go home and rest early!"

Wang Hu asked, "What about tomorrow? Will we still dig herbs?"

An Yue said to everyone, "Everyone continue to dig herbs tomorrow, but the weighing may be late tomorrow. I have to go to my grandfather's house, and I'm afraid it will be a little late to weigh them when I come back."

Qin said loudly: "It's okay, it's okay, at worst we can come and weigh it later tomorrow."

Only after everyone agreed did they put on their backpacks and prepare to go home.

An Yue pulled Wang Ke'er, leaned close to Wang Ke'er's ear, and whispered: "Ke'er, now that I have money in my hand, I will pay you back for lending you the money before!" As An Yue said this, she handed the purse to Wang Ke'er.

Wang Ke'er looked at the purse and quickly stuffed it back into An Yue's hand.

While running, she smiled and whispered: "Yueyue, that's a gift from me, you don't have to return it."

"But..." An Yue stood there, feeling a little overwhelmed.

Wang Keer ran to the gate of the yard, looked back at An Yue, smiled and waved.

An Yue was very touched. When An Yue traveled to this era, Wang Ke'er was the only one who wanted to help her wholeheartedly without asking for anything in return.

She watched them walk out of the courtyard gate with smiles on their faces, feeling very emotional.

After everyone left, An Yue looked at the herbs piled under the eaves and hope rekindled in her heart.

She thought that she would have to work harder in the future and strive to lead more villagers to earn money together.

Chunzhi and Meng Xiuer were threshing wheat grains in the east ear room. When they heard that everyone in the yard had left, they walked out of the ear room.

Chunzhi walked up to An Yue and said with a smile, "Miss, you dug so many herbs today!"

An Yue looked at the plantains piled under the eaves and said, "Yes! These are just what they dug. The four of us dug more herbs than them."

Meng Xiuer, who was standing aside, lowered her head and said apologetically: "Yueyue, I can't help you dig herbs."

An Yue quickly stepped forward and took Meng Xiuer's hand, smiling and comforting her: "Sister-in-law, you must not say that! You cook at home, take care of all the affairs at home, and clean the yard inside and outside. None of these jobs are easy!"

Meng Xiuer's brows relaxed slightly after hearing what An Yue said. She raised her head and said, "These are nothing."

An Yue patted her chest and said, "Okay! Sister-in-law, just remember, if I have a bite to eat, you will have one too."

After saying that, he turned around and took Chunzhi's hand, and added with a smile: "Oh, by the way, there are also Chunzhi, Daniu, and Ale. This family will become better and better with you."

At this point, An Yue realized that she didn't see Daniu and Ale, so she asked, "Huh? Why don't I see Daniu and Ale?"

Chunzhi explained: "After they came back from digging herbs, they saw that there was no pig grass or mulberry leaves at home, so they went out with baskets on their backs to cut pig grass and pick mulberry leaves."

An Yue looked at the gate of the yard, thinking of Daniu Ale and the others, and couldn't help feeling distressed. She smiled bitterly and shook her head, saying, "They came back from digging herbs without even taking a break before going out again. It's so hot in this drought, I hope they don't get a fever from exhaustion or something."

Just at this moment, Ale's voice came from outside the door.

"Hey, what are everyone whispering about?" A'le said as he walked into the yard carrying mulberry leaves on his back.

Next, An Nian walked in, and finally Daniu.

Chunzhi looked at Daniu Ale and said with a smile, "The lady was saying that you two worked too hard and was worried that you would be tired."

Da Niu put the pig grass in the yard and said with a smile: "Don't worry, young lady, this... this little work is tiring... it won't tire me, Da Niu!"

After Ale put the mulberry leaves back into the west wing, he also came out and said, "Following the young lady these days, she has really spoiled us like her own family. We eat well and sleep well every day, and if we do a little more work, the young lady is afraid that we will be tired."

Chunzhi raised her hands to cover her face and smiled, saying, "Yes, yes, what Alege said is true. Many people can't live as well as we do!"

An Nian took off the cloth bag on his shoulder, walked up to An Yue, and said coquettishly, "Sister, Nian Nian is so hungry."

As the sun sets, the afterglow dyes half the sky red.

An Yue gently stroked An Nian's rosy face and asked with concern: "Did Nian Nian miss lunch?"

An Nian nodded and replied pitifully, "Sister, now all the food shops at the west entrance of the town have closed down. I can't buy food even with the money I have every year."

After hearing this, An Yue frowned and turned to ask her sister-in-law Meng Xiuer, "Sister-in-law, do you have any tomatoes at home?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Meng Xiuer said and hurried to the kitchen to get tomatoes.

Seeing that everyone had returned, An Yue said, "Since everyone is back, I want to tell you something."

"I have to go to my grandfather's house early tomorrow morning. Chunzhi Ale Daniu, after you feed the poultry and livestock, go out to dig herbs like we did today. Sister-in-law can cook at home, and I will be home around 3 p.m."

Everyone nodded in understanding.

"My sister is going to my grandfather's house, and Nian Nian wants to go too." An Nian said while eating a tomato.

"But, don't we have to go to school every year?" An Yue asked An Nian with her head down.

After hearing what An Yue said, An Nian didn't say anything else.

The setting sun had completely hidden behind the western hills. Smoke was rising from the hillside, and everyone was busy with their own business again.

The next day, early in the morning.

Chunzhi and Meng Xiuer got up early to make breakfast.

After An Yue got up, she began to pack her luggage. She took a basket of duck eggs for her grandmother and packed a few pounds of food.

Soon, they prepared breakfast.

The family sat together for breakfast.

After having breakfast, An Nian put on his cloth bag and prepared to go to school.

Meng Xiuer suddenly called An Nian, she walked up to An Nian and said, "Niannian, I cooked two duck eggs for you and made a rice ball, just eat it for lunch!"

An Nian took the food from Meng Xiuer with both hands, smiled and said politely: "Thank you, sister-in-law."

Only then did An Nian turn around, walk out of the gate and head towards the town.
