The people from the Li family were a little agitated after handing over the power of the family head to Longyue. However, Longyue’s words suppressed their resentment.
They all looked up at her.
“There are two mu of land at the back of our house. They’re all barren and uneven. We can’t grow food or build houses, but we can’t just leave them abandoned, right? So I plan to cultivate them to grow herbs.”
It was absolutely possible to grow medicinal herbs. In her previous life, she had helped people till medicinal fields. If not for the fact that the boss had offended someone he should not have offended, those medicinal fields would definitely have produced a lot of medicinal herbs, and that plague would not
have been so vicious.
In her previous life, Longyue had wasted her life in a daze. Now that she was reborn, she felt that these things were too much of a coincidence.
She had just found a stable job and was about to live a good life. How did she end up with problems halfway through?
There was a ghost!
“Longyue, there are two mu of land there. It’s not easy to cultivate and the soil quality is not good…”
Ah Qiu looked up at her curiously.
Over the past few days, there had been a lot of trouble at home because of the handover of power in the family. As Madam Li’s son, he was really conflicted. He could not help anyone. His Longyue treated him well and even cooked for him, but his mother was his biological mother.
So for the past few days, he had been pretending to be dead. He did not express his views or take sides. Now that the dust had settled, this little fellow was starting to bounce around again.
Longyue said, “That’s simple. Big Brother and Second Brother have been working for others all along. Not to mention being tired, we also have to be dependent on others. The main point is that the salary isn’t high. Instead of doing this, why don’t we work for ourselves? In the future, these two plots of
land will be handed over to Big Brother and Second Brother.”
“But we don’t have money…”
Li Qingyuan frowned. He still did not know how valuable the herbs were when grown. He felt uncomfortable thinking that he would not have any income.
“Brother, don’t worry. I’ll pay the salary later.”
Longyue smiled very innocently. If her older brother had not mentioned this, she would have given him a bonus when the herbs were harvested in the future. But since he had suggested this, could she give him the salary now?
Li Qinghai must have been told to not mention the salary by Madam Wang. He only said, “It’s alright, we’re all family. Isn’t talking about money hurting our relationship? Third Madam, I’ll resign from my current job. Let’s go to the back and open a new place!”
Farming on two mu of land could be quite a lot of work. Longyue did not have many seeds on hand, so she could only take it slow and grow a few herbs at a time.
“Ah Qiu, let’s go around the mountains tomorrow and see if we can get some medicinal herbs and seeds.”
Longyue actually wanted to take home a stack of lingzhi. After all, she didn’t have much money left.
In the afternoon, Longyue asked them to dig a huge pit near the wasteland. Then she threw all sorts of animal excrement, straw, and tassels into the pit. She also instructed them to turn it over for a while before putting the lid over the pit.
The people from the Li family were puzzled. They did not know what she wanted to do this time.
“This is fertilizer! If we just water these excretions, the effect will be average. But if we mix them together for a while, the effect will be doubled!”

“Oh? There’s such a thing?”
The people from the Li family were puzzled, especially the two brothers who had been farming for others. They had worked on the landowners’ fields for more than 10 years but had never seen such an operation.
“Of course!” Longyue said confidently. This was a method taught to her by the boss of the medicinal field in her previous life. After the fertilizer was processed this way, the effect was quite good. However, when those herbs were harvested, they tasted a little unsavory,
Fortunately, she did not have to do these things personally, so she did not feel burdened.
Everyone looked at each other. Only Li Qingmu had a look of surprise. “Wife, you actually know this?”
“Well…”
Longyue wanted to brag a little, but she realized that with her previous identity, if she bragged too much, she might arouse his suspicion. This fellow was very shrewd!
She rolled her eyes and said, “An old butler from my residence said that when he was young, he was a farmer at home. He thought that the food at home was not good, so he used this method.”
“Oh.”
His reservations were dispelled.
‘When Longyue explained, Madam Li Zhou immediately said, “Then this must be something good. Later, all of you should keep your mouths shut. If anyone tells anyone, I’l skin you alive!”
Madam Li Zhou was feeling depressed now that she had lost her power as head of the household. She was looking for an unlucky person to vent her frustrations on, so no one was willing to get into trouble. Naturally, everyone agreed.
Moreover, this was a good way to earn money. People were all like this—they did not like to share good things with others. Rather than saying that the Li family was timid and afraid of trouble, it was more correct to say that they were selfish. They would not interfere unless things got in their way, so.
naturally, they would not share good things.
Longyue, on the other hand, was quite open-minded about this. The family could live a good life with good harvests and would not get in her way. However, since Madam Li Zhou had said this, she did not bother to interfere.
The next day, Longyue and Li Qingqiu went to the mountains again to pluck the rest of the lingzhi, leaving behind only a few young heads. Then they scoured half the mountain gathering all the medicinal herbs and seeds they could find. When they returned, Longyue was so tired that she wanted to sleep.
“Wife, I’m sorry…”
Looking at his little wife sleeping soundly on the bed, Li Qingmu kissed her and said softly.
He knew that his little wife was doing this for him. His heart was filled with satisfaction and joy, but at the same time, he felt that the burden on his shoulders had become heavier.
‘What he was shouldering now was not only his future, but also his little wife’s future

Li Qingmu was ready to head to the provincial city for the entrance examination, but he stayed two more days. He watched as his elder brother and second brother reclaimed the piece of barren land, planted seeds, irrigated the land, and applied a new fertilizer. Only then did he set off in satisfaction.
The family sent him to the village entrance, and Longyue sent him all the way to the city gate before stopping.
“After leaving Qingtian County, you’ll head north, past two cities and an old forest. After another city is the provincial city, Lin’an. There’s nothing wrong with the city, but that old forest… You have to be careful. Bandits and thieves often appear in that kind of place. You’d better travel together with
others.”
Longyue held a cloak in her hands. She had bought this cloak three years ago, but termites bored a hole in it when she placed it in a box. Longyue had embroidered a lily on it to cover the hole. The lily matched the black cloak, giving it a dreamlike feel.
She gently draped the cloak over his shoulders and reminded him repeatedly to take good care of himself and not get sick.
Li Qingmu felt the warmth from her body and grabbed her little hand. He smiled softly and said, “Wife, don’t worry. I will take good care of myself… Wife, a beautiful future awaits you…”
Longyue glared at him and pursed her lips. “I don’t care about that.. Don’t make yourself suffer, and don’t put too much pressure on yourself… What I care about is that you make it home in one piece!”
