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

Chapter 195 Sudden Increase
"Get out!"

The sound of things being smashed came from the side room. Yu Da stormed out, slamming the door shut, still holding half a broken bowl in his hand.

He spat angrily at the door, met everyone's gazes, his face flushed with shame and anger, and ran out the door cursing.

Xiao Huan frowned. "Why are you arguing again?"

"I'll go see how much stuff was broken." Stone was heartbroken about his belongings and quickly ran to the side room.

Shang Wan and Lu Chengjing exchanged a glance; one continued eating, while the other continued feeding the child.

Chu Xu wanted to go and take a look, but Xiao Huan stopped him, saying, "There must be broken pieces of porcelain inside. Be careful not to step on them and hurt your feet."

"I'll just look from the doorway, I won't go in." Chu Xu put down his small bowl, ran to the door of the side room, and stood on tiptoe to look inside.

The room was a mess, with food mixed with broken porcelain bowls scattered everywhere.

Yu Er sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), his expression gloomy, lost in thought.

After checking the room, Shi Tou found that the furniture was fine, only two bowls and a plate were broken. Relieved, he asked Yu Er, who had a sullen face, "Who broke these things?"

Yu Er: "They all fell."

Shi Tou frowned. "Our family rule is that if you break something, you either accept the punishment or pay for it. You choose one."

Yu Er looked up at him, his eyes dark and deep, sending chills down one's spine.

He said, "I have no money."

Shi Tou crossed his arms and said, "Then you'll have to accept the punishment. From today onwards, you'll be in charge of cleaning the pigsty and the outhouse. You won't get to eat until you've cleaned them properly."

Upon hearing this, Yu Er's face contorted slightly. He glanced towards the door and asked, "Where's my brother?"

“He ran out in a huff,” Stone said. “He’ll be punished when he gets back; he’ll have to clean the cowshed and chicken coop.”

Yu Er was dissatisfied, as it was clear that Yu Da's punishment was lighter.

"If you want to change it, that's fine. You two brothers can discuss it yourselves. Quickly clean the house. Don't waste the food. The food that isn't covered in dirt is still edible. The food underneath can be used to feed the chickens later."

After saying this, Shi Tou left with Chu Xu, who was watching the commotion at the door, and closed the door behind him.

As soon as the door closed, the light in the room dimmed, and Yu Er's face was hidden in the shadows, with only the slight curve of his lips visible.

When I woke up from my afternoon nap, dark clouds were rolling in the sky, as if it were about to rain.

Shang Wan brought the dried medicinal herbs back into the house and went to the kitchen to eat a steamed bun.

Just as I was about to leave, I ran into Yu Da walking in, carrying two packets of medicine.

"Madam," Yu Da bowed respectfully.

Shang Wan nodded to him, glanced at the medicine packet, and asked, "Shall I give Yu Er the medicine to prepare?"

"Yes."

Shang Wan said with a half-smile, "You really are a good older brother."

Yu Da forced a smile.

Shang Wan didn't say much, and left while eating her steamed bun.

The dark clouds pressed down, and the wind that blew in carried a trace of moisture.

Shang Wan stared at the sky for a while, then went straight to her study.

·
"Another piece of spiritual land has been added."

Lu Chengjing looked up at the woman standing by the window, his brows furrowing slightly. "This doesn't match our guess?"

“None of them match.” Shang Wan tapped her fingertips lightly on the windowsill, feeling like she had overlooked something.

The first sacred field appeared after the earthquake, and the second, third, fourth, and the fifth sacred field that appeared today did not occur during any significant events.

If I had to say, she saved Chu Xu before the third spiritual field appeared.

What does the appearance of a spiritual field have to do with saving people...? Wait, she also saved people during the earthquake, and a spiritual field appeared in her space the next day.

Could the increase in spirit fields really be related to saving people? But she didn't save anyone when the other spirit fields increased.

Shang Wan walked back to her desk, leaned down and stared at Lu Chengjing, "I think the increase in spiritual fields might be related to saving people."

She recounted her speculations, including the connection between rescuing people from the earthquake and rescuing Chu Xu from the cliff.

Lu Chengjing lowered his eyes in thought. "Perhaps the spirit field really can be connected with saving people. My wife, think about what you've planted in the spirit field?"

Shang Wan said, "Besides grains and vegetables, there are herbs, and herbs are the most numerous."

“Herbal medicine can cure diseases and save lives. If you sell the herbs after planting them in the spiritual field, and the people saved by the herbs are also considered as people you saved, then it makes sense.”

Lu Chengjing said, "Most of the herbs you sold to the pharmacy were sent to the border. There is currently a war going on at the border, and there must be many wounded soldiers. Whether it is an internal or external injury, herbs can undoubtedly save lives."

This also explains why Shang Wan's spiritual field suddenly gained another piece.

Shang Wan raised her hand and stroked her chin. "What you said does make some sense, but I saved quite a few people when the earthquake happened, and the space only gained one spirit field. But saving Anian alone is equivalent to one. How do you calculate that?"

Lu Chengjing thought for a moment and guessed, "Perhaps it's related to status and position."

Chu Xu is the young master of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, which puts him far ahead of the villagers in terms of status alone.

Shang Wan felt something was wrong, but without a reference sample, she couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong.

She subconsciously opened the space, glanced at it, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Wait, why is there another piece here?
She blinked, quickly exited the space, and after concentrating for a moment, reopened it to look.

Another spiritual field has been added!
There are now six spirit fields in the space.

"Husband, we have another plot of spiritual land." Shang Wan quickly told Lu Chengjing about this, as she desperately needed a few more brains to help her think things through.

Before Lu Chengjing, this external brain, could even start thinking, Shang Wan began reciting numbers to him.

One after another, the number of spirit fields in the space is rapidly approaching twenty.

Shang Wan was stunned.

What's going on? Did she stir up trouble in the spirit field? Or was there a loading delay earlier?

Ultimately, the number of spirit fields stopped at thirty-two.

Shang Wan glanced at the barren spirit field. Why did it suddenly increase by so much?
Lu Chengjing poured her a cup of tea to calm her down.

"The increase in the number of spiritual fields on both sides is not a bad thing. Once the number of increases has increased many times, we will eventually figure out the reason."

Shang Wan drank some tea to calm his nerves.

The sudden increase in the number of spirit fields was like suddenly becoming rich; she needed three seconds to process it.

"boom--"

A thunderclap boomed in the sky, and a silvery flash of lightning tore through the heavens.

The rain poured down, and the raindrops were blown into the house by the wind.

Lu Chengjing went over and closed the window.

The bolt of lightning snapped Shang Wan out of her reverie.

She looked at Lu Chengjing, her eyes shining brightly, "Husband, I think we can discuss the matter of reclaiming wasteland in the long run."

Fifteen minutes later, the whole family gathered in the study.

Chu Xu wanted to join in the fun, but Yuan Yuan, who had been given a task by her mother, dragged him off to play with building blocks.

The candlelight flickered, illuminating the dim room.

Shang Wan smiled and her first words were: "Let's not start clearing the land for now."

Stone, the first laborer to clear the land, raised his hand and asked, "Why?"

Shang Wan: "Because they don't move from the cleared-out areas."

Stone:?
Xiao Huan glanced at Lu Chengjing and vaguely understood the meaning behind his words.
