Chapter 540: War Begins (5)_1
The old lady felt she was getting old and could no longer manage her descendants’ affairs.
Li Yanran walked out of the courtyard with her teeth clenched and a gloomy expression. She was resentful of the old lady as Li Yanran is the old lady’s own granddaughter. Yet she was disappointed that the old lady would rather watch Prince Ling marry a peasant girl than help her become the prince’s wife. Why wouldn’t she harbor resentment?
Chu Suifeng and Lin Ziyin stood shoulder to shoulder, watching the adults and children bustling about in the field.
The Lin Family factory was on holiday. The men and women, young and old in the village could come to the field to harvest. Even Ma Xincai and the Huang family shamelessly came to do odd jobs. Lin Changshu and the others saw it but said nothing.
There were even more people from other villages who came to work. Many of them looked upon the heavy corn with admiration and desire. They couldn’t believe such crops could grow in this northern land. As this new crop had high yields, they thought they might buy some seeds to plant back home.
