Chapter 101: Chapter 101: The Total Harvest

With so many people helping the Xiao family, the harvesting process only needed a day to finish.

They harvested a staggering amount, a total of 3.750 jin of paddy rice!

[Little Master, the fields at the county are a little more fertile compared to this place. How about you plant rice seeds there?] Ling Yu suddenly told Xiao Qingya.

Xiao Qingya alone wouldn’t be able to realize it, but there was Xiao Jingran who was carrying her. Ling Yu also wanted for him to hear her suggestion.

The Ling siblings were worried the Xiao family would think that their lands were unlucky or something. After all, the place was given to them by a pair of ghosts.

On top of that, they didn’t want the Xiao family to feel reserved when it came to these lands. They should make use of them.

Xiao Qingya tilted her head and turned to her eldest brother.

[I will need to ask Eldest Brother and Mother about this. The journey from this village to the county takes a few hours, and we don’t have any means of transportation.]

Xiao Jingran also heard Ling Yu’s words and nodded. "We already thought about how to make use of the fields. We should be able to plant something there."

The Xiao family only kept the fields and didn’t take the Ling siblings’ house. They already sold it to someone else, saving the money for the siblings’ incense.

Mo Chen only bought a limited number of incense, and he had given them all to his little disciple. Premium incense would cost a lot more compared to normal incense, but they were also more effective.

The Ling siblings’ figures no longer appear as faint and transparent anymore during the day. At this rate, they might be able to touch corporeal things soon.

Ling Yu was happy. "It’s good to hear, Master Jing!"

The Xiao family was diligent, and they could even grow such high-quality paddy rice. If they were to use the fields at the county, they will surely yield a lot more harvest!

More people also could enjoy their full and plump rice.

Xiao Qingya looked at the Ling siblings thoughtfully. Currently, they were trying to grab the paddy rice stalks that others had tied together into sheaves.

At the end, the siblings could only sigh in disappointment because they couldn’t feel the paddy rice in their current form. Their hands passed through them.

[Host, if you use the siblings’ field to plant rice and the seeds or harvest benefit the masses, they might gain merit from it, which will benefit their ghost cultivation.]

Xiao Qingya suddenly remembered the System’s words from a few days ago when the Ling siblings told her that their fields were now hers.

[System, are you there?]

No one answered her.

The little one bit her lip, a little not used to the System’s absence. But she had to be patient and wait for tomorrow to see what kind of mischief it was up to.

After the Xiao family finished with harvesting the rice, they all went home. The surroundings already turned slightly dark. In order to finish the process in a day, Shun Zi even called for his men to help.

They were currently transporting the last batch of paddy rice. Zhou Wenzhi had rented an ox cart from a neighbor while Shun Zi brought one from the village market.

As they sat on the ox cart, they all had a satisfied smile on their faces, including Shun Zi and his men.

"Thank you for all your help, Mr. Shun." Zhou Wenzhi thanked them deeply.

Shun Zi chuckled. "It’s no trouble at all, Mr. Zhou. With such abundant and beautiful rice grains for harvest, we don’t feel tired at all even after working in the field all day."

His men nodded furiously, smiling as they wiped their sweat.

Of course, it was partly also because Shun Zi had a small hidden scheme. He was worried Zhou Anran would sell the paddy rice to someone else.

Some people who had similar business—selling plant seeds—were already trying to spy on them to find out who their shop supplier was.

The Xiao family’s harvest was even better compared to the previous grain rice. He was willing to raise the price for them. The seeds from the Xiao family were currently in high demand!

Some disappointed farmers didn’t even believe it when the shopkeeper told them all the rice seeds had been sold out. In order to make them bring the seeds out, these farmers were willing to offer higher prices.

Shun Zi didn’t want anyone poaching the Xiao family away!

Upon arriving at home, he didn’t immediately leave. The Xiao family prepared some refreshment for the guests.

As his men rested, Shun Zi went to talk to Zhou Anran and Zhou Wenzhi. He wanted to use this moment to get as many grain rice seeds as he could.

At the end, he and his men also left with smiles and satisfied faces.

Xiao Qingya woke up quite late the next day. Because of the abundant harvest, the Xiao family was so thrilled that they all slept late. Anyway, they could rest for the next day.

The Ling siblings had disappeared somewhere, probably bored and wanted to find some gossip to entertain themselves.

"Eh?" Xiao Qingya was startled. Her eyes went wide as she felt something soft on her bed.

It was some kind of fur...

She pulled the cover away, revealing a pair of lively and dark eyes that seemed to mirror her own. They stared at each other.

"A cat?" She mumbled in puzzlement. "Whose cat are you?"

Her hand reached out to grab its tail, but the cat jumped away, staring at her with an arrogant look.

Xiao Qingya was provoked. She also jumped to follow the cat. It was unknown what kind of cat it was, but it wasn’t as agile as a normal cat.

The white cat couldn’t avoid Xiao Qingya’s evil claws in time. She grabbed and rubbed its fur. The fur was so soft that she found it addicting. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Looking at its unscrupulous host, the System finally opened its mouth in panic. [Meow! Host, it’s me! Stop touching there, stop touching there!]
