Before being reborn and getting married, the pampered young lady emptied her family's assets to

Chapter 85 Using chicken feathers as arrows

Qian Xue didn't resist; she seemed completely stunned.

If she resists, she will only receive a more severe beating.

Liang Yi and An Min, who were far away in Baiyanggou, were naturally unaware of what was happening here.

As the days went by, Anmin's belly gradually grew bigger.

After learning that Anmin was pregnant, the villagers of Baiyanggou brought her a lot of vegetables they grew themselves, as well as eggs from their chickens and ducks.

However, Liang Yi and An Min did not accept it.

He knew the villagers meant well, but everyone was short of things, so how could he accept their gifts?
But when everyone saw that Anmin and Liangyi refused to accept the gifts, they assumed that the two of them were disgusted by their belongings.

So Anmin came up with an idea: if someone brought them something, they would reciprocate by giving them something they didn't have.

Seeds, or even those that can only be bought in the county town.

Bartering will not invite criticism and will put the villagers at ease.

……

More than two months have passed since the last letter was received, and what followed was some support from higher authorities for the towns and villages of all sizes in Northwest China.

For example, adjusting tax rates, or giving them some seeds and the freedom to use farm tools.

In short, this demonstrates the importance that the higher authorities attach to them.

With this support, everyone worked even harder.

The entire Baiyanggou Valley was filled with joy.

An Min was off work that day, so she made some things herself and planned to send them to Liang Yi.

I didn't expect to hear arguing coming from inside their unit as soon as I arrived.

"What does this mean? I'm asking you, what does this mean, Liang Yi?"

"You promised me before, and now you're telling me you can't do it, is that right?"

The office door was wide open, and An Min immediately spotted the person standing opposite Liang Yi.

She knew this person, named Wang Weiguo. He had arrived in Baiyanggou earlier than Liang Yi, but he hadn't accomplished anything significant and had remained largely unknown.

He had always felt somewhat resentful towards Liang Yi, who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere and wielded even more power than him.

However, because he had lived here for many years, Liang Yi always respected him and would consult him on anything, giving him a lot of face.

Now, when Anmin heard his roaring words, she felt that this person was taking himself too seriously.

"I did say that before, but the rain a couple of days ago crushed all the seedlings. The final yield will definitely not be as good as our earliest estimate, but it won't be too much different."

"I have already reported this matter."

As soon as Liang Yi finished speaking, the person standing opposite him slammed his hand on the table.

The ceramic jar on the table rolled off the table and landed at Anmin's feet.

"Stop talking nonsense to me, I've already said how much I want, and I'm not that kind of confused person."

After she finished speaking, she turned and walked away, and ran right into Anmin.

He snorted coldly and ignored An Min. Only after he left did An Min come up to him.

"What's going on? It sounds like you two are having a very unpleasant argument."

After An Min placed the food on the table, she saw Liang Yi come around from behind the table and help her sit down.

He raised his hand and rubbed his temples, looking somewhat tired.

"We were given orders to do something concrete here. What was promised before was ruined by a heavy rain."

So he couldn't submit the full amount, but the difference wasn't too much, and that's why he got angry.

Liang Yi sat down next to An Min and explained. Baiyanggou was their newly established location, and it would become a grain reserve area for various parts of Northwest China.

Because of the good terrain and abundant sunshine, things grow well here.

The higher-ups sent Liang Yi here with the intention of providing him with proper support.

Therefore, Liang Yi worked very hard.

But as the saying goes, man proposes, God disposes; plans can't keep up with changes.

The two heavy rains that fell in the first half of the month destroyed all the seedlings they had planted.

Although Liang Yi led a team to the rescue immediately, they were unable to save many people.

Doesn't he feel heartbroken? He feels heartbroken more than anyone else.

That was the result of his meticulous care, working from dawn till dusk, but it withered before it could blossom and bear fruit.

Liang Yi sighed, and An Min reached out and pulled his hand over, placing it on her knee.

"I thought he was your boss because he was yelling so loudly just now."

"I'm too lazy to argue with him. He's the kind of person who likes to magnify even the smallest things."

Liang Yi placed his hand on An Min's stomach.

This is something he's been particularly enjoying doing lately, something that helps him relax. It seems that just touching the baby in Anmin's belly makes him feel happy and content.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, you should eat your food."

Anmin pulled over the food box, and when she opened it, she found a delicious and colorful meal inside.

"As for the production volume, I think you don't need to worry too much. Since your estimate is not far off, the higher-ups certainly won't blame you, but..."

She thought about it for a moment, recalling the tone of that person's voice, and still couldn't help but say those words to Liang Yi.

“We’ve been in Baiyangou for quite a while, and people are accepting of us. I don’t think you need to spoil him too much. Sometimes you need to let him know who the leader is.”

"The more you indulge him, the more he will think that you are afraid of him, or even that you need him. In turn, this will make others think that you are weak. This is not a good thing."

After saying this, Liang Yi nodded slightly.

He certainly understood this principle, and he had already come up with a solution.

After watching Liang Yi finish his meal, An Min went back home.

She's been sleeping more lately, spending most of her time sleeping on her days off.

She was relieved after consulting a doctor who said that excessive sleepiness was normal.

On her way back, Anmin passed by the fields and saw everyone working in them.

Upon closer inspection, one could see Wang Weiguo standing in the field.

An Min walked forward without making a sound.

When I walked up to him, he was talking animatedly with the villagers in the field.
“I advised Liang Yi before not to plant this. Although the yield is slightly higher, it’s too exhausting. We farmers have been tending the land our whole lives, don’t we know better than him?”

"Look at what's happened now. All our hard work has been ruined, and we still can't complete the task assigned by the higher-ups. Isn't he just ruining us?"

Hearing his shameless words, An Min sneered.

"That's still better than some people who like to gossip here, right, Wang Weiguo?"

Upon hearing the cold voice behind him, Wang Weiguo immediately turned around.

"Oh, Teacher An, you just came back from Liang Yi's place."

“Look at this, it’s so good to have a wife. She’s always thinking about your meals. Unlike me, I’m all alone. What I care about most is the affairs of our Baiyanggou.”
