I’m the Farmgirl You Can’t Mess With -
Chapter 788 - Chapter 788 Look
Chapter 788: Look Chapter 788: Look Editor: Atlas Studios Mu Yangling stroked his head and said, “So if you want to help someone, you can only think of a way to raise money yourself.” Sympathizing with his poor parents, Little Bear then began to count how many people he could help with the money he had.
However, he could only count up to 50 at this point and couldn’t yet count beyond that.
So, he naturally could not figure it out now.
Mu Yangling watched as he sat on the chair and counted with his fingers.
In fact, he was so engrossed he didn’t even react when his father entered.
Qi Haoran sat at the table and looked at his son curiously.
“What’s wrong with him?” “He’s thinking about something.
Don’t disturb him.” Mu Yangling stuffed a steamed bun into Qi Haoran’s mouth and said, “After you’re done eating, bring your son to take a look at how the farmers celebrate the New Year.
Don’t inform them in advance.” Qi Haoran frowned.
“Didn’t you say that you wanted to admire the plum blossoms?
What’s there to see?” Mu Yangling sighed.
“Your son doesn’t know how expensive firewood, rice, oil, and salt are.
I want him to see how ordinary people spend the new year.
Just go.
When he comes back, I still have something to speak with him about.” Qi Haoran dawdled as he carried his son out.
The entire area outside was farmland, and the farmers there were all tenant farmers of the Qi Residence and Fan Residence.
When she bought the land back then, Mu Yangling had bought this entire piece of land along with two mountains.
Other than building two large houses, the remaining mountains and fields were divided into two and recorded under Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin’s names.
The tenant farmers from before had not been dispersed and continued to stay there.
However, there was not much land.
In total, there were only 20 tenant farmers, and they all continued to live in the small village not far from their house.
In the past, when Mu Yangling brought Little Bear to play at the edge of the field, those tenant farmers’ kids only dared to watch from afar and did not dare to approach.
Therefore, when Qi Haoran carried his son into the village, this was the first time those tenant farmers got to come into close contact with their landlord’s family.
Shocked to see them, the villagers who were sweeping the snow at the entrance of the village ran back in panic.
Halfway through though, they stopped, feeling that their actions were inappropriate.
They knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Qi Haoran.
Qi Haoran waved his hand nonchalantly and said, “Everyone, get up.
I’m just here to see how everyone is doing during the new year.” Naturally, Qi Haoran did not just carry his son over.
There were two mule carts behind him with rice, noodles, and some meat on them, to be distributed to the farmers.
Qi Haoran placed his son on the ground and said, “Go and help distribute the stuff.” Little Bear ran over to the mule cart eagerly.
The tenant farmers from both residences could receive this year-end benefit.
Fan Zijin’s tenant farmers also knew that the two families were largely considered as one, so they went home to grab a cloth bag before running over to line up.
Little Bear stood at the side to help distribute the items, but in fact, he was only helping to hold the cloth bag.
Well, what could he do when he was not even as tall as a bag of grains?
The children of the tenant farmers ran out to watch.
When they saw the white flour, white rice, and meat that were being distributed, their eyes lit up and they swallowed their saliva as they stood at the side.
Children were always most attracted to other children.
Ever since these children came, Little Bear’s gaze instantly shifted.
He didn’t stay here anymore and ran to the group of children, tilting his head to look at them.
Looking at the exquisitely dressed, clean and fair Little Heir, the children huddled together timidly.
Qi Haoran was talking to the elderly in the village when he saw the commotion here.
Just as he was hesitating if he should help his son, he saw his son turn around and run back to the mule cart to take out a cloth bag and rush towards the children.
Qi Haoran heaved a sigh of relief.
Mu Yangling had packed it for Little Bear before they left, saying that it was a diplomatic tool for Little Bear to bring along.
At first, he had thought that it was troublesome to bring those fragile pastries, but now, it seemed like it was not a bad idea.
At least his son could find some playmates to play with.
Little Bear ran back with the bag, opened it, grabbed a piece of snack, and stuffed it into the youngest child’s hand.
“Here, eat it quickly.” Seeing the snack in the child’s hand, the other children surrounded him at the same time.
When some farmers saw this, they wanted to go forward and take their children away.
Qi With just a glance from Qi Haoran, immediately, a guard went forward to stop them.
Little Bear successfully conquered the children in the village with a bag of pastries.
Seeing that their clothes consisted of cloth patches of different colors, he touched them curiously.
The thin clothes felt cold to the touch in the icy wind.
Little Bear, who wore clothes thinner than other children due to his good health, was shocked to see that these clothes were thinner than his.
Could they really keep those kids warm?
Seeing the kids wolfing down the pastries, the doubts in Little Bear’s heart increased.
Seeing that Little Bear was easy to get along with and having eaten his snacks, the children in the village were all willing to play with him.
Soon, the group of children started chatting and running around the village hand in hand.
Lying in his father’s arms, Little Bear tried his best to stick his head out and wave at them when he was about to go home.
He shouted, “Let’s continue playing hide-and-seek tomorrow.” “Not tomorrow.
You have to receive the guests with me tomorrow.” Qi Haoran patted his butt.
Little Bear leaned on his father’s shoulder and immediately changed his words.
“I need to collect red packets tomorrow.
Let’s play together again some other day.” This time, Qi Haoran didn’t stop him.
Little Bear ran back excitedly to look for his mother and shouted, “Mother, where are the uncles in the guest house?
I want to distribute money to them.” “They went back.” Mu Yangling counted with her fingers.
“I gave them their salary, clothes to ward off the cold, as well as some grains and noodles.
I’ve calculated how much all those cost.
Just give the money to me later.” Little Bear opened his mouth wide and covered his purse as it asked, “Mother is the bestaEUR|” “Mm, therefore I will give you a 20% discount.” Mu Yangling nodded in satisfaction and continued, “It’s because Little Bear wanted to help people that I gave them those things.
Those were meant for us to eat.
If we don’t use money to buy those items to make up for it, we won’t have anything to eat.” Little Bear didn’t expect his family to be so poor, so he could only take out his pouch and pour out a handful of gold and silver nuggets.
However, Mu Yangling took out the accounts and showed them to him.
She said, “The clothes, grains, and noodles cost a total of 3 taels and 600 copper coins.
I won’t take anymore than that from you.
Spring, go get the scissors.” Mu Yangling picked out three silver nuggets worth 100 copper coins and cut out 600 copper coins’ worth with scissors before returning the rest to Little Bear.
Little Bear tilted his head.
This didn’t seem to be a lot of money.
Mu Yangling took the abacus and asked, “You went to the small farmstead today.
How do you think they’re doing?” Little Bear sniffed and said, “They’re so poor.
Big Blackie said that he only eats two pieces of meat a yearaEUR|” “Do you want to help them?” Little Bear nodded fiercely and looked at his mother with sparkling eyes.
Mu Yangling asked him how he wanted to help them.
From Little Bear’s simplistic point of view, helping them meant giving them food and clothes.
Mu Yangling calculated the money it would cost according to what he said.
