Reborn Ugly Girl Farming to Support the Family

Zheng Xiaoman sat aside and watched, then laughed unkindly, "Hahaha, you stupid dog, you deserve it for what you did."

Xiao Huang seemed to understand what she said. He let out a howl of grievance and lay down, with one paw on his nose, looking at Zheng Xiaoman with a very resentful look.

Zheng Xiaoman found it even more interesting, so he picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at him.

Unexpectedly, the stone hit its nose, causing Xiao Huang to breathe heavily through his nose.

It stood up, shook its head and moved closer to Zheng Xiaoman, using its big head to push into her arms in revenge.

Zheng Xiaoman pulled its head with his hands in disdain, "Get out of my way, or I'll be covered in dog hair."

Xiao Huang was disliked, so he sat in front of her and put his head on her legs, "Aww."

Zheng Xiaoman laughed and scolded: "You are a dog, not a wolf, what are you howling for?"

The others were watching the interaction between the man and the dog with a smile. The gentle breeze in the yard gave people a feeling of peace and tranquility.

Time soon came to the end of June and it was time to harvest their winter wheat.

Their family planted four acres of wheat, which was more than enough for the whole family and they didn't need to hire anyone to work.

Zheng Xiaoman still doesn't have to go to the fields. She is responsible for cooking at home and delivering meals to the fields every day.

The weather has been particularly hot and humid these past few days. Zheng Xiaoman prepared lunch for her family and her clothes were soaked through with the heat.

She wet the towel with water and wiped her face. This year's weather seemed to be much hotter than in previous years.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little worried. Would she be unlucky enough to encounter a drought? She didn't want to flee famine like in the novels.

She packed her lunch with some worry, and carried the basket to the village to deliver the food.

While waiting for dinner, she sat next to her grandfather and asked, "Grandpa, the weather is so hot this year, and there hasn't been a single rain since the beginning of spring. Is there going to be a drought?"

Old Man Zheng looked at the sky and then said with a smile, "It shouldn't be like that. It's so muggy today and the temperature is unusually high. I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily soon."

Zheng Xiaoman was delighted, "If it rains, the drought will go away. That would be great."

Old Man Zheng shook his head again. "We harvested the wheat early and have almost finished it now. But some families in the village haven't harvested it yet. If it rains suddenly, the wheat will rot in the fields."

Zheng Xiaoman asked in a low voice: "Grandpa, has my uncle's land been harvested?"

Old Man Zheng snorted coldly, and Zheng Xiaoman understood that his uncle's land must not have been confiscated yet.

They have to pay grain tax after the summer harvest. If they can't collect all the grain, they will have nothing to pay the grain tax with.

They worked for another three days and finally harvested all the wheat in the field. They are now putting it in the yard to dry.

There was still no movement on Mr. Zheng's land. Finally, Mr. Zheng couldn't bear it anymore and ran over angrily, pointing at his nose and cursing.

Only then did Boss Zheng remember that his own fields had not been harvested yet, so he hurriedly took Ma Meihua to the fields to harvest the wheat.

But both of them were used to being lazy, and they simply couldn't stand the high-intensity summer harvest.

After just one day, the two of them were lying on the kang and couldn't get up.

On the morning of the fifth day, the sky turned gloomy.

Although it was still calm outside, an experienced person could tell at a glance that the rain was going to be heavy.

Mr. Zheng still had more than an acre of wheat to harvest. Old man Zheng wandered around the house for a long time, but finally he couldn't sit still and went outside with a sickle.

Zheng Dashan looked at the direction his father was going and knew that he must be going to his eldest brother's land.

He thought about it and finally followed with the sickle in hand. He couldn't just let his father go to work alone.

It's windy outside now, and the humidity in the air is getting higher and higher.

Zheng Dashan quickly caught up with his father. Old man Zheng turned around and looked at him without saying a word.

The two men hurried to the field, but as expected, they did not see Boss Zheng.

Old man Zheng was so angry that he wanted to curse, but now was not the time. The wheat in the field must be harvested before the rain.

Old man Zheng took his second son into the field and began to bend down to cut wheat. Even if Zheng Dashan was unwilling, he had no choice but to join them in cutting wheat.

The wind grew stronger and stronger, causing the wheat to sway left and right.

The dark clouds in the sky were getting thicker and lower, and thick water vapor was blowing in my face.

"Boom"

In the distant sky, there was a sound of muffled thunder.

The two men hurriedly sped up, but no matter how fast they worked, they could not finish mowing this acre of land before the rain.

Fortunately, Boss Zheng was not completely confused, and soon he and Ma Meihua appeared at the edge of the field.

He was a little surprised when he saw two people harvesting wheat in the field. He walked over and called out "Dad", but Old Man Zheng was so angry that he didn't even raise his head.

Boss Zheng didn't dare to say anything more. He quickly bent down and started to help cut the wheat.

The thunder in the sky was getting louder and closer.

A few more people appeared in the fields of Mr. Zheng. They were the Zheng Xiaoyu sister and the three Mao Gen brothers.

When Zheng Xiaoyu saw Mao Gen, her face turned red with embarrassment.

A while ago, Mao Gen went to the family to propose marriage with five taels of silver, and the two of them were scheduled to get married after the autumn harvest.

Mao Gen looked at Zheng Xiaoyu and smiled, then quickly took his brothers to start working.

This is the land of my future father-in-law. Even if my father-in-law and his future daughter-in-law are not close, he is still her biological father.

One drop, two drops, three drops.

The raindrops fell one by one, and finally, before the heavy rain came, the wheat in Zheng's field was harvested.

Everyone quickly bundled the wheat and carried it home. There was some wheat left that was wetted by the rain, but it shouldn't have much of an impact.

Old man Zheng finally felt relieved. After Mao Gen and the others left, he pointed at Boss Zheng's nose and cursed him.

"You bastard, if it weren't for us today, all your food would have rotted in the fields!

Don't you know that you have to pay the grain tax soon? Without grain, how can you pay the grain tax? How can you survive until the autumn harvest?

Is your head full of shit?"

Boss Zheng and Ma Meihua were scolded so hard that they dared not say a word. In the end, even Old Man Zheng himself became bored with scolding.

"I'm telling you, I'll only help you this time. If you don't accept it yourself in the future, you'll starve to death."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out, and Zheng Dashan quickly followed him out.

It was raining heavily outside at this time, and when the two people returned to the old house, their clothes were soaked.

Old Mrs. Zheng sighed, stood up and got clean clothes for the two people to change into, then went to the kitchen to boil ginger water for the two people to drink.

The rain continued for three days without stopping.

Zheng Xiaoman went outside with an umbrella and took a look. The water level of Qinghe River had risen a lot and was showing signs of overflowing.

If the Qing River floods, their house will be the first to be flooded.

Zheng Qingming saw his sister coming back from outside and asked, "Did you go to see the Qing River again?"

Zheng Xiaoman put away his umbrella and placed it by the door, his face full of worry. "Brother, when do you think the rain will stop? The water level in the river has risen a lot again."

Zheng Qingming shook his head. "I don't know either. I've never seen such heavy rain here."

Zheng Xiaoman sighed, this was really depressing.

We were not worried about drought just now, but now it is raining heavily. It is really frustrating.
