I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 22 Mobilization for land reclamation

“You can plant a season of winter wheat on dry land and harvest it at the end of April next year. After paying the rent, you will only have 45% left... However, it takes nine months from sowing to harvesting.”

Baiyunxi counted the time with his fingers.

“During this period, we all need to borrow grain to sustain our lives. To feed the whole family, even if it is mixed with wild vegetables, sweet potatoes, etc., it will cost at least one thousand kilograms of grain. When the harvest season comes and we pay off the debt, will we still have food left?”

“If this evil cycle continues, we won’t have any food left, and we will have to borrow food every year to survive, what do you think?”

　　Everyone was silent after listening to their mother's analysis. It took a while for Bai Anyan to raise his head.

"Mom, my son is not opposed to opening up wasteland. Anyway, it is all effort and money is not wasted. But if the wasteland does not produce anything, what will we do?"

‘There are more than a dozen people who need food every day. Where can they get it? ’

“Opening up wasteland is laborious work and wastes the most food. If you don’t borrow food, you won’t have the energy to open up wasteland.” What Li is most concerned about is his stomach. As long as he is not hungry, he can do whatever he wants.

“…Mom, our rice vat has bottomed out.” Du Shi had no sense of her presence until she heard the food, and then she raised her head and added in a low voice.

"Of course I know this, so I want to open up wasteland to grow food. In this way, no matter how much the harvest is, it will be our own. There is also a three-year tax holiday. Mother has a way to fertilize the wasteland. This is our only chance to turn around."

Baiyunxi looked at them, held Yaya in his arms, and subconsciously comforted her.

“Our whole family is mobilizing to fill our stomachs and solve our urgent needs more than anything else. From today on, we all have to work harder, and we have to look forward to life. The hard days will eventually pass.”

A few people were mobilized by Baiyun Xi, and their numb expressions became more resigned.

"Mom, what should we do?" Bai Anyan sighed helplessly.

 ‘My mother is right, life must pass, and the hard days will be over once you endure them. ’

Bai Yunxi looked at her son-in-law's casual attitude and didn't care. A group of bear babies who lacked independent opinions could really change at once, and she didn't have to travel all the way to get there.

“An Yan and his wife are the backbone of the family and the main force in opening up wasteland. An Yi and An Sheng are still young, but they can help the family to some extent. Your sister-in-law is not in good health, so being able to take care of your meals is a great achievement.”

As soon as these words came out, Du was the first to be jealous. It was the first time that her mother-in-law cared about her, and for some reason, she suddenly felt very sad. When the words came to her lips, she couldn't say anything, so she could only lower her head.

 ‘It turns out that her bitter mother-in-law can see it. ’

Bai Anyan didn't know whether he was numb or had guessed it, so he nodded subconsciously.

　　‘As long as you can fill your stomach, the rest doesn’t matter. ' Li murmured in her heart and agreed.

But Bai Anyi curled his lips and said unwillingly, "Mom, we all have work to do. What about eldest brother? What does he do?"

　　　‘I’m still biased. The family is so busy that he doesn’t even have the nerve to hide. The eldest brother actually got into a mouse hole. It’s really a thief. ’

Hearing the fourth child’s thoughts, Bai Yunxi curled his lips and said, “Don’t worry, your elder brother has more important things to do.”
