Chapter 215 - 215 215 Raising a Tiger Are You Willing

Chapter 215: Chapter 215: Raising a Tiger, Are You Willing? Chapter 215: Chapter 215: Raising a Tiger, Are You Willing? “What?”

Lin Changhong was so shocked that his mouth could have accommodated a whole egg. It was a while before he swallowed and stared blankly at the female wolf, asking Ya Molian.

“Keep… keep them here? My sister said this?”

His sister was too brutal, actually wanting to raise wolves on Manghuang Mountain. This was sure to intimidate anyone who heard about it.

Ya Molian didn’t respond but only nodded, holding the wolf cubs to a wooden house. The female wolf naturally followed with an air of authority.

Lin Changhong quickly closed his slightly open mouth and followed suit.

“Brother Molian, you really…no, I mean, Sangsang is serious, she really wants to raise wolves on this mountain?”

“What else will you do to protect the Manghuang Mountain?”

Having settled the mother wolf and her cubs, Ya Molian came out and turned to ask Lin Changhong.

“I…”

Lin Changhong opened his mouth, but didn’t know what to say.

How could he possibly guard the mountain all the time? Besides, could he alone guard these hundreds of acres of mountain land? He thought it would be better to keep something. But to keep wolves…

“Can’t we just keep a few dogs instead of wolves?”

“How about a tiger, would you like that?” Ya Molian asked.

Lin Changhong: “…”

What kind of tiger, he was already freaked out about the wolves, and now a tiger, was this a tactic to drive the villagers mad?

“Then let’s keep the wolves,” he pouted.

“Make a good wolf den, get more people, and start planting all the seedlings and seeds. Sang should have already told you what to plant where, right?”

Ya Molian asked him.

“She did mention it, but my sister must have gone mad…”

The number of different things she wanted to plant was too numerous: corn, rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc. All of these are common and it was okay to plant as much as possible. After the harvest, there is no worry about selling them off.

But she was not interested in these. Instead he was supposed to plant only a few acres of each.

She wanted more peanuts, sunflowers, sorghum, cowpeas and the like. Even melons, fruits and vegetables were planted in tens of acres. What were they going to do with it all, sell them in the town’s market?

If that was the case, they would be tormented to death by the hard work.

“I mean, would it not be better to plant more rice, corn, wheat etc.? Planting vegetables, need to eat so much or what? This is clearly wasting the land.”

“Is this Manghuang Mountain yours or Sangsang’s?” Ya Molian asked him in return.

Listening to Ya Molian’s words, Lin Changhong fell silent and just pouted.

“Of course it’s Sangsang’s.”

Even if it was his, he’d have to listen to Sangsang. Whatever Sangsang says goes. Even if he had to give up the whole mountain, he’d be happy to keep his sister pleased.

” We have to plant before the rainy season comes, and the rice seedlings should be planted, right? Get more people when the time comes.” Ya Molian gave his directions again.

“Okay.”

Lin Changhong complied.

In their place, there was no such thing as planting rice seedlings. The rice was directly scattered to grow naturally. The idea of planting like Sangsang was the first time he had heard it.

When he heard Sangsang explain how to plant rice seedlings, he thought she was crazy. The rice seedlings had been pulled out, so would they not die when replanted?

Even he thought this way, let alone other villagers. They all saw Sangsang as an oddball.

However, he had to admit, following Sangsang’s method, this rice was planted one month earlier than others. When the rice grows, it will indeed avoid the great damage to the rice caused by the rainy season.
