Chapter 11: The Drunkard's Intention
For dozens of days in a row, the villagers watched helplessly as Chu Xun and the Zhang siblings worked day and night to reclaim a full ten acres of wasteland.
Even knowing they had the help of a water buffalo, they were still incredibly surprised and envious.
Ten acres of land! Many families currently only had two or three acres of fertile land in their hands.
Farmers made a living from the land; the more land they had, the more harvest they would get.
If Chu Xun really reclaimed thirty acres of wasteland, plus his original seventeen acres of fertile land, that would be nearly fifty acres!
When the time came, in the entire Pinecone Village, even the old Li family wouldn't be able to compare.
There were also people who doubted whether such a fast reclamation speed involved trickery.
For example, Li Tianjian's wife secretly came over and dug several deep pits.
As a result, she found that the soil underneath was loose, there were no stones, and even grass roots were rarely seen.
