"I won’t have to tolerate those Wu family people’s idle gas anymore," Liniang continued self-mockingly, "just need to spread my legs wide open every night, let someone sleep with me, and that’s it, not hard. It’s really much easier than doing farm work. Wu Dashan didn’t sell me to suffer at all, he totally sent me here to enjoy blessings. If one day I meet Wu Dashan, I’d definitely give him a red envelope to thank him profoundly."

This left An Jing at a loss for words.

"Alright, I’m going in, I need to catch up on some sleep, I barely slept last night because of that damned ghost’s torment," Liniang said no more, waved her perfume-scented handkerchief towards An Jing and Xiao Changyi, then turned and entered Fenghua Tower.

If Liu Sanya had not been buried but was thrown on the back mountain instead, out of consideration for Old Hunter Liu, An Jing and Xiao Changyi would definitely have gone to the back mountain to retrieve Liu Sanya’s body.

But now, since Liu Sanya had been buried, An Jing and Xiao Changyi had no intention of offering incense at her grave. They actually didn’t like Liu Sanya, so once they left the entrance of Fenghua Tower, An Jing and Xiao Changyi went back home.

...

On September 19th, An Jing and Xiao Changyi were harvesting peanuts in the field.

Because the newly opened mountain land was not fertile and often cracked, the peanut yield was significantly reduced.

Having planted three parts of land with peanuts, An Jing even doubted they could harvest a hundred pounds of peanuts.

However, An Jing was still very happy.

This land was opened by her and her husband together, and the peanuts were also planted by them together. Ever since she had been with her husband, she hoped that everything at home was made by the two of them.

The thought alone brought her joy.

As An Jing and Xiao Changyi were busy harvesting peanuts in the field, Wang Youbao arrived. Fortunately, their house was built next to the mountain land. As soon as Youbao arrived, not only did he see them busy in the field, but they also saw him.

It wasn’t until Youbao came to their side that An Jing asked with a smile, "What brings you here?"

"I’ve come to bring you good news! Great news!" Wang Youbao said very happily, squatting down and helping to pick peanuts.

"More good news?" An Jing got curious, "Tell me, what’s the good news?" It even seemed to be a great matter.

Youbao was straightforward, "Lord County Magistrate heard about the grain rice, and he summoned me to the Yamen. He said the grain rice is very beneficial for the people, and he wants to promote it nationwide. He mentioned that even if the higher authorities don’t award me, the county would grant me the status of a First-class Good Citizen. But the grain rice was your and Changyi’s idea. I couldn’t possibly take the credit. So, I told the truth to Lord County Magistrate, and he asked me to consult with you. A First-class Good Citizen, Hecheng County has not had one for a long time. An Jing, Changyi, you must agree to submit the blueprints! It’s a really good thing!"

An Jing cast a meaningful glance at Xiao Changyi, then asked Wang Youbao, "What names did you tell Lord County Magistrate for us?"

Without much thought, Youbao replied directly, "I didn’t mention that. I just said it was by two farming friends of mine who wanted to make rice pounding faster, I didn’t mention your names."

Since the County Magistrate had approached Youbao, it was likely that people above him had also caught wind of the grain rice matter. And for such a beneficial invention, even if Youbao refused to submit the blueprints, they would surely find a way to force him to do so.

How could Youbao fight against the officials?

An Jing was very clear about this point and said, "Now I’m giving you the blueprints for the grain rice; they are yours. You needn’t consider us. Just say we gave them to you, and you can claim the credit."
