Transmigrated into a slave? I raised a frontier war god while pioneering new lands.

Wang Mingliang had almost fully recovered by this time, and he was still a little curious when he saw Sister-in-law Shen coming over.

"Sister, what brings you here? Did your father-in-law give you money again?"

Sister-in-law Shen: No.

"My father-in-law is biased, and I didn't want to see him, so I came back."

Wang Mingliang: "Okay, I'm busy right now, come over and help Mom harvest the grain."

Sister-in-law Shen: "Oh! That's what I think too."

"Where is our mother?"

Wang Mingliang: "They went down to the ground."

"Sis, I forgot to ask you, how are things going with Shen Zhi and Xu Qinghe?"

Upon hearing their names, Sister-in-law Shen became impatient. "What else can they be? They're just like that!"

Wang Mingliang: "What does it look like? Tell me about it!"

Sister-in-law Shen: "Xu Qinghe is harvesting grain at home, and Shen Zhi is at the garrison."

Wang Mingliang: "Shen Zhi still goes to the garrison every day? Does he go in the morning and come back in the afternoon?"

Sister-in-law Shen: "It used to be, but it's not anymore. I heard from my father-in-law that it seems there's trouble coming from the north again, and the people there are at the garrison and aren't coming back."

"If you ask me, those guys up north should have been even more ruthless and just killed him outright, so he wouldn't have to come back."

"Hey! What if Shen Zhi dies and doesn't come back? Would his big house be mine then?"

Without hesitation, Wang Mingliang replied, "Definitely!"

"He doesn't have any children, so if it's not yours, whose is it?"

Upon hearing this, Sister-in-law Shen immediately became happy, "If it really is mine, I'll give you that big house."

"When I get you a wife, it'll definitely be a grand affair."

"Let alone that maid Xu Qinghe, we'll even marry the young ladies from wealthy families."

Upon hearing this, a calculating glint immediately flashed in Wang Mingliang's eyes.

Ever since he was beaten by Shen Zhi last time, he has harbored a deep hatred for Shen Zhi.

Not only that, he also had his eye on Xu Qinghe, because he had never seen a girl more beautiful than Xu Qinghe until now.

Since Shen Zhi's house will be his sooner or later, then his wife will be his sooner or later too.

So, it should be fine for him to try it out first, right?

Shen Zhi wasn't home; there was only one woman and two children at home. Even if he really slept with her, what could she say?

Thinking of this, Wang Mingliang couldn't wait to take action, but it was still too bright, so he had to wait.

Xu Qinghe was completely unaware of Wang Mingliang's schemes against her; at this moment, all her energy was focused on harvesting the grain.

She kept wiping away sweat as she cut the grain, and by the time she finished cutting three sacks of rice, it was already noon.

Xu Qinghe glanced at the grains that were only slightly missing and immediately felt utterly hopeless.

At her current pace, she won't be able to finish harvesting the grain on these two acres of land in less than five days.

Moreover, these five days require working from dawn till dusk.

Unfortunately, she used her special ability on all the grains, meaning that if she didn't finish harvesting them in the next two days, they would either be eaten by birds or blown away by the wind.

Because once it ripens, it becomes dry and brittle, and then a strong wind can blow it away.

Just when Xu Qinghe was at her wit's end, she suddenly remembered the matter of asking someone for help.

He immediately forgot about eating in the field and called out to Shen Chengyue and Shen Chengchuan as they headed home.

Shen Chengyue: "Didn't we say we'd eat lunch in the fields?"

Xu Qinghe: "We can't worry about that now, let's go home and find someone first." With that, she carried Shen Chengchuan to the stroller.

There was no other way but to avoid wasting time, since Shen Chengchuan was young and walked slowly, they had to push him in front. As for Shen Chengyue, he was older and could keep up, so he didn't get this treatment.

On the way back, the villagers saw Xu Qinghe leading two children home again and couldn't help but advise, "Shen Zhi's wife, it's too tiring for you to bring them here. It would be better to just let them wait in the fields."

Xu Qinghe: "There's no one in our fields, I'm worried about leaving them."

If there were as many people in their field as here, Xu Qinghe would feel comfortable letting them stay in the field.

Because an individual is different from a group of people; there are always some good people in a group.

When the villagers heard her say this, they knew what she was worried about. After all, it was indeed unsafe to leave two children in the fields in the wilderness.

When Xu Qinghe got home, she dumped the grain on the ground, because their yard was paved with bluestone slabs, which were perfect for drying grain.

After emptying the grain, Xu Qinghe asked Shen Chengyue to close the door and went to Aunt Shen's house.

Because everyone is busy right now, Xu Qinghe can't find a suitable person besides Shen Ping'an.

When Xu Qinghe arrived at Aunt Shen's house, she happened to run into Shen Ping'an, who was returning for dinner. He was quite surprised to see Xu Qinghe and asked, "Auntie, what brings you here?"

Xu Qinghe: "I came to see you. Have you harvested your grain yet?"

Shen Ping'an: Not yet! We'll have to wait two more days.

Since his father became unable to work, all the chores in their household have fallen on him and his mother, and the two of them are never as fast as others.

Xu Qinghe: "Could you help me out for two days? I'll pay you."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ping'an's eyes lit up. To be honest, this year had been the most comfortable year of his life.

The wages Xu Qinghe paid them a few days ago not only improved their family's life but also helped his father's health.

But the thought of the nearly ripe grain at home made him hesitate again.

"I want to go, but I need to talk to my mom about it."

Xu Qinghe knew it wasn't a good time to find someone, so she didn't hesitate after hearing the answer, "Okay, but you have to give me an answer as soon as possible. I can't wait for anyone in the field."

Shen Ping'an nodded, "Okay."

After speaking with Shen Ping'an, Xu Qinghe hurriedly left. There was no other way; one person was definitely not enough, and she needed to find several more.

For the remaining families, Xu Qinghe also chose those with whom she had good relationships and who had many members.

Upon hearing that Xu Qinghe would pay him thirty coins a day, he immediately agreed without hesitation.

Just as Xu Qinghe was about to gather everyone, Aunt Shen and her sister-in-law returned from the fields. Upon hearing Xu Qinghe's conditions, they all fell into deep thought.

Sister Lan: "Logically speaking, given our family's relationship with Qinghe's family, we should go regardless of whether it's about money or not."

"But the grain in the field won't wait for anyone. As soon as we leave, the birds come. What are we going to do with just a few people in our family?"

Aunt Shen: "Since we can't leave, then we won't go."

"I'll talk to Qinghe about it later; she'll understand."

Sister Lan: "Qinghe understands, I know. The fact that she came to ask about our family must mean she wanted to help us."

"After all, a day's work can buy more than two pounds of meat."

Aunt Shen: "At this time, it's not about money; food is the most important thing."

Aunt Lan: "Okay, Ping An, go tell your aunt later that you're not going."

Shen Ping'an was about to agree when his father suddenly spoke up, "Since Ping'an wants to go, let him go!"

Sister Lan instinctively retorted, "If he goes, who will watch the land?"
