The daily life of a space tycoon raising children, doting on his husband, and farming.

Chapter 107 The Savage [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

On the other side, He Sizhi and his apprentice also heard Shi Tou's shouts. When they came out to see what was happening, Shi Tou had already pulled Shang Wan away.

He Sizhi was worried that something had happened to his master's family. He couldn't leave Liangliang's hair alone, so he asked Gao Yan to come and ask.

"Scholar, has something happened?"

Lu Chengjing was still confused, only vaguely guessing that it should have something to do with farming.

Gao Yan said, "If you need anything, just let us know. We may not be able to help much, but we can still do our part."

Just because Shang Wan's family could feed Ma Jieyong and didn't mind his large appetite, Gao Yan thought they were all good people.

People are willing to help out of kindness, and Lu Chengjing is naturally ungrateful.

He said, "My younger brother is young and a bit impulsive. He probably saw something new and took his wife to see it. He'll be back in a little while, so there's no need to worry."

Seeing that Lu Chengjing did not look worried, Gao Yan believed his words and went back to tell his master to put everyone at ease.

After waiting for a while and seeing no one return, Lu Chengjing was thinking of going to the field to check when Shang Wan and Xiao Huan returned side by side.

Lu Chengjing wheeled himself forward to greet him, asking in confusion, "What happened?"

"Good news." Shang Wan lowered her voice and told him about the unusual situation with the vegetable seeds in the field.

Lu Chengjing cooperated, revealing a look of surprise.

Shang Wan: ...There's absolutely no need for that.

Xiao Huan, thinking about what was in the pot, called out and went to the kitchen to get busy.

Lu Chengjing looked behind Shang Wan and asked, "Why haven't Shitou and Yuanyuan come back?"

“Shi Tou is holding Yuan Yuan and showing her around his future empire.” Shang Wan pushed the wheelchair around halfway and walked back. “He’s trying to persuade Yuan Yuan to build an army of animals to help him farm. He’ll be a leisurely landlord, only responsible for inspecting and guiding.”

Lu Chengjing: "..."

That kid has a pretty good idea.

"Actually, this idea is quite good and saves manpower," Shang Wan commented objectively. "However, Yuanyuan is too young now. Doing this would be a huge burden on her and would not be conducive to her healthy physical and mental development."

Lu Chengjing keenly picked up on the implication, "Is there a method with less burden?"

Shang Wan pouted, "Aren't you going to ask me at all why I know so much?"

"No need to ask," Lu Chengjing said with a smile. "You'll tell me when you want to."

Shang Wan neither confirmed nor denied this, and steered the conversation back to Yuan Yuan, saying, "There are ways to reduce the burden, of course, but Yuan Yuan might have to become a wild woman."

Wild man?

Lu Chengjing's faint smile faltered, and he turned to look at Shang Wan, "What savage?"

"The literal meaning," Shang Wan said. "The less burdensome way is to let Yuanyuan go to the mountains and forests more often and interact with the animals, subtly influencing them with her own abilities. If things go smoothly, she'll be second in command in the animal kingdom, and no animal will dare to claim the top spot."

Lu Chengjing went over these words in his mind three times: Is his daughter even human?
He couldn't help but remind Shang Wan, "Wife, Yuanyuan is only one year old."

Who are you trying to scare to death by letting a baby who is still drinking milk and can only move by crawling go into the mountains and forests every day?

“I know,” Shang Wan said. “The animals won’t hurt Yuanyuan on their own. With Xiao Hui following along, both for transportation and to keep her in check, Yuanyuan can go into the mountains alone without any problems.”

Lu Chengjing still couldn't accept that his sweet and soft little girl would be rolling around in the mountains and getting all dirty all day long. Just thinking about that scene gave him a headache.

Isn't it said that fathers are strict and mothers are kind? How come it's the other way around in their family?

He asked, "Would Yuanyuan be willing?"

“Of course,” Shang Wan nodded. “She’s very willing.”

What kid doesn't love playing with a bunch of well-behaved, fluffy creatures?
Once you're familiar with them, you can approach the long, scaly ones. That big guy is lurking in a hole at the bottom of the pool; he won't come out easily. Courage is something you build up little by little.

Lu Chengjing was helpless; he was certain his daughter had been tricked by her mother.

“It’s not like we’re going to let Yuanyuan stay in the mountains all day.” Shang Wan said, explaining the plan she had made for her child. “We’ll go into the mountains after breakfast every day, and come out whenever she’s tired. At first, I’ll accompany Yuanyuan on a tour of this mountain range, and once she remembers the way, I’ll let her go on her own.”

Lu Chengjing: "...She remembers?"

"Don't underestimate the little darling's memory." Shang Wan was very confident about it. "As long as she puts her mind to it, she'll definitely remember it."

She has plenty of ways to get Yuanyuan to put her heart into it.

She patted Lu Chengjing on the shoulder, "Don't worry, at worst you still have me as your helper. Yuanyuan is very clever; if she can't handle it, she'll definitely be the first to call for her mother."

With her own son's abilities, relying on sheer numbers... no, a sea of ​​animals, she can stall until she gets there.

Keeping superhumans in a greenhouse will ruin them. As long as they don't die, it's all just about gaining experience.

Lu Chengjing couldn't rest easy. Yuanyuan was too young, and the situation in the mountains and forests was complicated. Besides animals, there were also people. Who knew what might happen?

He frowned and pondered for a long time before finally sighing, "Let Yuanyuan try it first."

He believed that Shang Wan would not harm Yuan Yuan, even though the method sounded particularly unreliable.

Once Lu Chengjing agreed, the matter was basically settled.

Breakfast was ready in no time, and Shang Wan sent Xiao Hui to call Shi Tou and Yuan Yuan back for dinner.

After dinner, the busy day begins.

Shang Wan pushed Lu Chengjing to check the medicinal herbs in the basket and found that some of the herbs had become damp because of yesterday's rain and would need to be dried for two more days before they could be sold.

Shang Wan laid the medicinal herbs out to dry on the stone slab, then led the yellow ox over, hitched it to the oxcart, and headed to the brick kiln.

After being fed with a mixture of spiritual spring water and fodder for the past few days, the yellow cattle are in much better condition than before. Shang Wan secretly tried it and found that they could pull a thousand bricks without any problem.

The moment the brick kiln manager saw Shang Wan, he didn't even need her to show the contract; he simply had his men lead her to load the bricks.

This time there are fewer bricks than last time, only two thousand.

Shang Wan specially brought hemp rope and had the workers pack the bricks in sets of one thousand, so that the bricks could be hauled away in just two trips, greatly reducing the time required.

On the way home, a well-built, well-dressed old woman suddenly reached out to stop the oxcart.

Standing next to her was a girl in a pink shirt, who looked quite young, about fifteen or sixteen years old.

"Xu~"

The oxcart stopped.

Shang Wan lifted her sun hat, revealing a pair of bright, almond-shaped eyes. "Why are you stopping me?"

Upon seeing Shang Wan's appearance, a glint flashed in the old woman's eyes; this young lady was truly beautiful.

"Young lady, do you know how to get to Elm Tree Village?"

Shang Wan glanced at the plain-colored bundles they were carrying and the weariness on their faces, and asked, "Are you two visiting relatives in Yushu Village?"

The old woman nodded. "Exactly."

"Go straight ahead, then turn right at the fork in the road, and you'll see a large rock..."

Shang Wan gave the two directions in a few words and was about to leave when the old woman hurriedly called out to her, "Young lady, my granddaughter and I are tired from our journey. Could you give us a ride?"

So they're a grandfather and grandson. How come one is so skinny, like a monkey, that he could be blown away by the wind, while the other has a round face and a plump waist, and seems to have a pretty good standard of living?
