Chapter 321: Beg Her?

Translator: Lonelytree

Any modern farmer worth their salt would know what the use of this stick and rope was. They were used to transplant the rice seedlings in an orderly manner!

Lin Yuelan said to Jiang Zhennan, “We’ll start transplanting in these few days. The weather is sunny, so remember to water them every evening. If it rains,” she said as she looked at the clear sky, “I doubt it’ll rain but to be safe, we should build a greenhouse for each plot.”

In modern times, a greenhouse was built using plastic. It was waterproof and transparent. Plastic would let the sun in, while shielding the plants from other more damaging elements.

However, there was no plastic here.

Thus, the greenhouse was only built to prevent the sudden heavy rain from washing away the seedlings that had not yet stabilized.

Jiang Zhennan asked humbly, “How do we do that?” After spending time with Lin Yuelan, they knew that she wouldn’t waste time doing pointless things. Therefore, she must have her reasons for building these greenhouses. They stopped asking why.

Lin Yuelan said, “Guo Bing, go to town with little twelve and buy white tarpaulin that is at least 30 feet long and 50 feet wide. We have five plots, so we’ll need five tarps. The others will go and cut some bamboo.” Bamboos were elastic and could be stretched. They were used in building modern greenhouses too.

“Then, I need you to stick the bamboo around the plot. Each bamboo should be around two feet from one another.”

Jiang Zhennan nodded and said, “Okay, got it.”

Each plot was at least three Zhang long, and one Zhang would require at least five bamboo pieces. So, each plot would require at least fifteen bamboo pieces. Five plots would require eighty bamboo pieces. That was not that much. With so many people, they should be able to finish in half a day.

For these soldiers, cutting bamboo was not a difficult task. Besides, there were no strict requirements for the length of the bamboo.

The soldiers saw that it was still early, so they planned to start working after lunch.

Lin Yuelan was the designated cook. She didn’t like to eat food made by others. Lin Yuelan didn’t urge them to get to work. When she heard someone’s stomach growling, she immediately laughed.

After that, she quickly entered the kitchen.

After that, Jiang Zhennan also followed her. He looked at Lin Yuelan and asked very naturally, “what are you cooking today?”

Lin Yuelan was also used to Jiang Zhennan being in the kitchen, so her movements were also very natural as she pointed to the corner and said, “today, let’s have braised liver, shiitake mushroom and bok choy, and braised fish!”

These gluttons ate so much every day that she didn’t even know what to cook. No matter how much she cooked, these people would finish it all.

After Jiang Zhennan replied with a soft “hmm,” he went to the corner naturally and picked out some rapeseed that he had brought back from Lin Yiwei’s house this morning.

Lin Yuelan looked at the man squatting on the ground and choosing the vegetables so seriously. At first, she was so surprised that the corners of her mouth kept twitching, but now she was numb and used to it.

She didn’t think it was a big deal to ask a general to be her sous chef.

However, in the future, this would shock many people. The War God was so whipped by his wife that he was forced to work in the kitchen!

Of course, when these rumors reached Jiang Zhennan’s ears, he only sneered. “Hehe, this is pure jealousy! My wife is the famous God of Cooking, and she cooks for me every day. It’s only natural that I help her.”

Of course, this was a story for the future.

The food was quickly prepared!

Braised fish, braised liver, shiitake mushroom, bok choy, and bone soup!

There was a great battle at the dining table again. Everyone fought over the food without holding back at all. All except Doctor Zhang, who had to satisfy himself with the mushrooms and vegetables for himself. Who asked him to eat too much meat earlier?

Lin Yuelan didn’t join the fight, but no one would be able to snatch any food away from her.

After lunch, Guo Bing and Little Twelve immediately went to town. Both of them had good physical strength. Even if they walked, they should be able to make it back before dinner.

The others immediately got to work.

…

After Gu Sanniang and her daughter returned home, Gu Sanniang became more and more worried. She asked Ying Zi anxiously, “Ying ‘Er, will Doctor Zhang really be able to make the antidote in three days?” As she spoke, her hands started to scratch her back uncontrollably again. With a pained expression, she said, “Ying ‘Er, it’s too itchy. I can’t take it anymore!”

Looking at her two bloodied hands with smelly pus, Gu Sanniang couldn’t wait even a minute longer, much less three days.

Ying Zi looked at her mother’s body, which was bleeding from the scratches, and then looked at herself, who was not faring any better. Her hands were scratching her body uncontrollably too.

Gu Sanniang said, “Ying ‘Er, didn’t Doctor Zhang say that we should go back to the source? Since we were poisoned by that wretched girl, we should go and see her. Doctor Zhang said that she has the antidote.”

Gu Sanniang could not help but plead with her daughter.

On the first day, they had sores on their buttocks, and on the second day, their entire bodies were covered in these abscesses. She couldn’t imagine what they would become on the third day.

Moreover, the intense itchiness would not allow them to wait for another three days for Doctor Zhang to be ready with the antidote.

Ying Zi was panicking too. The itchiness didn’t matter that much to her. However, if her face were covered with pores, then she would be disfigured! If that happened, how would she be able to marry into a good family in the future?

If she did not marry into a good family, she would not have a good life.

No, she wanted to live a good life. Not only did she want to live a good life, but she also wanted to live a life of glory and wealth, where she could trample on everyone.

Therefore, her face could not be destroyed.

However, it was worse than death to ask her to beg Lin Yuelan, that jinx.

Gu Sanniang stared at her daughter. Seeing that she was silent, she became even more anxious. She said, “Ying ‘Er, didn’t you tell me that the damned girl said that these sores would cover our entire faces tomorrow?

“Ying ‘Er, it doesn’t matter if that happens to me. After all, I’m already so old. But, Ying ‘Er, you’re still young. You have to think of your future.

“Once you’re disfigured, how can you marry into a good family and take care of your mother for the rest of her life? Ying ‘Er?”

“Mother, are you that eager for me to go and beg that bitch?” Ying Zi suddenly looked at her mother with hatred.

Gu Sanniang was stunned for a moment before she reacted. She shouted, “of course not! Mother didn’t mean that! I know this is not your fault, but you have to see the bigger picture.”
