Chapter 494: Questioning Character

It didn’t take long for Lin Yuelan’s family’s five mu of land to be covered in golden yellow paddy. The rice straws were bent over by the grains, which looked extremely lovely and eye-catching.
As a result, Lin yuelan’s family’s rice fields welcomed batch after batch of surprised and curious villagers. They stopped in front of them and looked at the rice with envy and some jealousy, but most of them had their own thoughts.
“look at these paddies. The yield per mu is at least five or six stones, ” he said in an envious tone.
“I don’t think it’s five or six stones. It’s at least Seven Stones!” The man said in an experienced manner.
This was because his family did the best farm work every year, and their harvest was also the best. Sometimes, the yield per mu could reach four to five stone. That was why he said so with such certainty.
His words shocked the others.
“No way!”
A yield of Seven Stones per mu was an output that they could not imagine.
If the yield per mu was really Seven Stones, after paying two or three stone field taxes, she would have four or five stones left. How many stones would Lin Yuelan have with so many Mus of land? It would not be just ten or twenty stones.
When they thought of this, they couldn’t help but feel excited.
They also wanted to produce Seven Stones per mu, so they wanted to ask this farmer for advice.
“I wonder how she can farm so well? ” Someone asked doubtfully.
“Speaking of which, I remember that when they were planting, they seemed to pull the seedlings from somewhere else and then plant them in.” Some people instantly remembered that Lin yuelan and the others had come over with seedlings.
“Yes, speaking of this, I also remember. After they picked the seedlings, the men planted them one by one.”
“Yes, I remember it too. Back then, I was very suspicious of their actions. I even wondered if they didn’t have enough money to buy enough seeds, which was why they planted them like that. Now that I think about it, perhaps they had their reasons for doing so back then.”
Just like that, everyone started to complain about how Lin Yuelan and her group had been transplanting rice seedlings in the fields.
In the end, someone said with some anticipation and nervousness, ” do you think they’ll tell us if we ask them about the method of farming? ”
As soon as he said this, the people around him fell silent.
Although these villagers were simple and honest, they were also selfish.
If they were so good at farming and had such a good harvest, they would definitely hide it for fear that others would learn it.
They didn’t want others to live better than them.
If they could learn farming techniques, their entire family would not have to go hungry in the future. Therefore, even if the school fees were very expensive, they were willing to pay for them.
But this time, the person they wanted to ask was the jinx of the Lin family Village. They also knew that anyone who came into contact with that jinx would not have a good ending.
For example, the Lin family’s chief family had been expelled from the ranks of elementary scholars and had been bedridden for three years. Although it was said that he had been cured, wasn’t he cursed by Lin Yuelan first?
For example, Zhou Ping’s family, who had sold their land to her, had sent their son to prison for theft. He had stolen a lot of meat and rice from Lin yuelan’s family. It was unknown when he would be released. Zhou Ping’s legs had been broken by his own son, and he was still lying in bed. Because they had no money to treat them, his legs were badly rotten. As for Zhou Ping’s wife, her son had been arrested, and her husband had become a cripple. She felt that there was no hope, so she ran away with someone else.
Everything that happened to Zhou Ping’s family started after Zhou Ping had sold the land to Lin yuelan’s family.
Another example was Lin yuelan’s family, which was her grandfather’s and parents’ family. They were also in a very miserable situation.
The Lin family’s second son was sent to prison, Lin Siniu’s wife was divorced, and the Lin family’s third son was chased out of the Lin family. It was said that all of this was because of Lin yuelan’s reputation as a jinx…
After this series of events, they really didn’t have the courage to come into contact with Lin Yuelan for fear of bringing big trouble to their family.
However, she was really good at farming.
“No, didn’t those men plant this field?”
