Chapter 32
Destruction
Willow Village only grew one season of winter wheat a year.
They were planted at the end of autumn and the beginning of winter and would be harvested in June of the following year. In the other months, they would be used to plant some green vegetables, which would then be picked and sold in town for money.
At this time, corn had not been discovered yet, but in one or two months, the winter wheat would have to be planted. Therefore, the green vegetables on the farm were almost all harvested, and they would plow the land to accumulate fertilizer so that they can harvest a few stalks of wheat in the next year.
However, the two plots of land that Zhao Kuazi had given Zhao Zhan were full of potholes and water.
Yue Jiaojiao took a glance and understood what had happened.
Zhao Kuazi was being resentful. She knew that the land could not be taken back, so she pulled out all the vegetables on it. It would have been fine if she had only pulled them out, but she took advantage of the heavy rain during this period of time and piled the soil around the field so that all the rainwater would accumulate in the field.
Not only was there no fertilizer added to the field, but the soil in the field had almost turned into mud. In this case, even if one wanted to plant seeds, they would be soaked in the soil and would not grow into good buds.
“Jiaojiao, it’s fine. These few days, I’ll come to the field to sow the land when I’m free. When the land is a little drier, I’ll go and pick some fertilizer to fertilize it. Whether it’s soybeans or chilies, I’ll definitely have time to plant them.”
“Are you st*pid?” Yue Jiaojiao pointed at the sun. “With that around, why are you wasting your energy? That’s doing a pretty good job, especially the soil that’s been piled up by the ridge. You don’t have to shovel it away at all, you just have to work on the fertilizer.”
Most of the fertilizer used at this time was farm fertilizer.
Yue Jiaojiao didn’t want to think about it anymore. She could only think of a modern method of using fertilizer and rotten tree leaves as manure and told Zhao Zhan, “I’ve already told you the method. I don’t care about the rest. It’s smelly and I don’t want to handle that.”
“I’ve remembered everything, but I’ll be busy if I do that. I won’t be able to stay by your side all the time. You have to be more careful when you’re in town.”
He knew that his lover was delicate and disliked being dirty and smelly. When he had carried his lover home, he had found out that the red marks on her body were all caused by sleeping on his hard bed. Knowing this, Zhao Zhan went to town to buy the most comfortable mattress the next day after he rescued her.
Just like that, when Yue Jiaojiao woke up, she still felt a little uncomfortable, but seeing that he had already done his best in this condition, she didn’t say anything.
“I think it’s not bad to live in town, but it’ll be better to live in the mountains. Didn’t you build a treehouse for me recently? I’m fine staying there, it’s more comfortable than staying in an inn.”
At this moment, the owner of the inn felt his heart shatter into pieces.
Yue Jiaojiao never had a moment of peace when she lived there, and she would often be woken up by the snoring next door.
The mountains were quiet, and everything she needed or could use had been cleaned up by Zhao Zhan. It was very comfortable to live in such a place.
“That’s fine. I can still cook for you if you live in the village.”
Yue Jiaojiao nodded her head vigorously. Up until now, Yue Jiaojiao had yet to find anyone with better cooking skills than Zhao Zhan. She was not willing to let her stomach suffer from another cook.
“Zhao Zhan! I just said I was going to your house to look for you. I didn’t expect to see you here,” Lizheng shouted from afar with his hands behind his back. When he walked in front of the two and saw the land, his eyes widened. “Which son of a b*tch did this? The next harvest will be ruined! What a shame!”
