Since the peanuts and soybeans had matured, they naturally had to be harvested.
Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “Yes, we can hire a few people to go pick peanuts and soybeans.”
“Yu ‘Er, we have so many people in our family. We don’t need to hire people, right?” Grandma Xiao said.
Indeed, First Uncle Xiao’s family and Third Uncle Xiao’s family had all moved back to Taoyuan Village. They had more than ten people. The harvest wouldn’t take more than a few days.
Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “Grandma, I have other arrangements for uncles. We’ll need to hire people to pick the peanuts and soybeans.”
“Oh, I see.” Grandma Xiao nodded.
Xiao Lingyu said, “Grandma, I’ve contracted six mountains. I still need to hire people to develop them. I’m thinking about assigning first uncle and third uncle to watch over the development. For the peanut and soybean harvest, we can hire some women.”
Grandma Xiao calculated and said, “You definitely can’t participate. So we have me, Yun ‘Er, your mother, your third aunt, and a few children. That’s more than enough. We should be able to finish the work in a few days.”
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, “Grandma, haven’t you heard that time is money? I have to harvest the peanuts and soybeans in the field as soon as possible. But since we already have so many people in the family, we can hire lesser people. How about ten adults?”
“Ten… adults?” Grandma Xiao couldn’t believe it. Then, she asked suspiciously, “Yu’Er, isn’t that a bit too many?”
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, “Ten people isn’t a lot. Grandma, we’ve hired almost a hundred people before.”
“A hundred people?” Grandma Xiao was in disbelief. “Why did you need so many people?”
Xiao Lingyu said with a smile, “That is already not that many people. We have planted strawberries before. Harvesting strawberries is delicate work. Plus, we need people to package the strawberries and so on.
“Strawberries have a short shelf life, so we had to hire more people to speed up the process. Grandma, in the future, we’ll be hiring more people. Grandma and Grandpa, I’ll have to trouble you to watch over them for me.
“Oh right. I also want to develop the mountains as soon as possible. I don’t think we have enough people in our village, so we might need to hire people from outside the village. Grandpa and Grandma are more familiar with other villages, so I’ll need Grandpa and Grandma to recommend people for me.”
Grandma Xiao agreed immediately, “That’s no problem. Your Grandpa and I know who are hardworking in the surrounding villages. But Yu ‘Er, how many people do we need to hire?”
Xiao Lingyu thought for a moment and said, “There are six mountains. So I estimate that we need to hire at least a hundred people. They have to be young and strong men and women.”
Nowadays, many young people left the village for work. Those who remained were mostly the elderly. There were little young people who stayed to take over the farm.
Even though Taoyuan Village had more than 180 households, they had less than 100 capable young people.
Therefore, they had to hire people from outside the village this time.
Grandma Xiao knew that her eldest granddaughter had always been a person with ideas.
She nodded and said, “Okay, leave this matter to your grandfather and grandmother. I’l go and send the words out now.”
After saying that, Grandma Xiao left in a hurry.
After Grandma Xiao left, Xiao Lingyun looked at Xiao Lingyu and said with a smile, “Sis, you have quite a carefree life.”
After she came back, Xiao Lingyun naturally heard some things about her sister.
‘When she heard that her boyfriend of ten years had betrayed her sister, Xiao Lingyun was furious.
Xiao Lingyun had married Cheng Feiping because she was deceived by Cheng Feiping’s appearance and flowery words.
However, her sister and Chen Ran had known each other since they were young. They grew up together and knew each other well. They had been in love since they were fifteen or sixteen years old.
However, who knew that this person’s heart was so fickle. He worked in the big city for a few years, but his personality changed completely. If the relationship was over, he could just break up with her. Why the need to set Xiao Lingyu up?
Ten years.
After ten years of relationship, he chose to betray her.
Fortunately, her sister was a very strong person. She was not so easily beaten. Since the other party had betrayed her, she chose to take revenge. After that, she packed her things and went home.

She started to farm.
In contrast, Xiao Lingyun did not have her sister’s boldness.
‘When she discovered the Cheng Family’s attitude after giving birth to Rourou, she should have left with the child. She should not have been deceived by Cheng Feiping’s sweet words again. Because of this, her girls were tortured by the Cheng Family for five years.
Now that she saw her sister, who was pregnant with a ruddy face, Xiao Lingyun regretted her unsteadiness even more.
However, fortunately, everything was in the past.
In the future, she would definitely take care of the children and live a good life.
Xiao Lingyu looked at her cousin. She had been giving Xiao Lingyun the spring water to drink for the past few days. The beauty was returning. Xiao Lingyu smiled, “Your life is yours. How you live it is your choice.”
Xiao Lingyun’s heart shook, and her eyes widened. A moment later, she nodded and said, “Sis, I get it now.”
“Good!” Xiao Lingyu said, “In the past, you’ve suffered a lot in the Cheng family for the sake of your two children.
“Now that the family is here to look after your girls, you can do anything you want. I believe all of us will support you.”
“Thank you, Sis!” Xiao Lingyun nodded.
Xiao Lingyu saw how confused and muddled Xiao Lingyun was over the past few days.
In the past, when she was in the Cheng family, she lived for the sake of her two children.
But now that they had been freed from the Cheng family, she did not know what to do. Xiao Lingyu noticed that Xiao Lingyun wanted to say something to her several times, but she always held back.
Now was the perfect chance for them to talk.
Xiao Lingyu asked, “Yun ‘Er, you studied nursing in the past. Do you still want to go back to being a nurse?”
Xiao Lingyun nodded and then shook her head.
Xiao Lingyu,
Xiao Lingyun said, “I don’t know now. In the past, I joined nursing school because I would get a good job after I graduated. I met Cheng Feiping in nursing school.
“He arranged for my internship at Kanglin City’s People Hospital, where he worked. When I turned 18, | fell in love with him and married him.
“His family didn’t like that I had a job, They wanted me to stay at home to look after their family. Soon, I became an unpaid nanny for the Cheng family.”
Xiao Lingyun’s eyes dimmed when she talked about the past.
She was too young back then.
After falling in love with Cheng Feiping, she could only see Cheng Feiping in her eyes. She only wanted to please him.
She quit her job. She was constantly criticized by the Cheng Family. Since she didn’t have a job, they berated her for wasting their money. They never considered the hot food on the table, the clean and tidy floor, and the spotless house. All they saw was Xiao Lingyun asking them for the grocery
allowance.
Of course, Xiao Lingyun had to ask them for money. How else was she going to do the grocery?
If she had gone out to find a job after being insulted by the Cheng Family, perhaps she would have regained her confidence and wouldn’t be sucked in by the black hole.
Xiao Lingyu saw her expression and knew that her cousin was probably thinking about the past.
She sighed and comforted her, “Yun ‘Er, you don’t have to worry about anything now. You can do whatever you want to do. I will definitely support you. In fact, I think you’ll have the entire family’s support.”
Xiao Lingyun listened and said gratefully, “Thank you, Sis. However, I still don’t quite know what I want to do in the future.”
Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “Yes, you need to be clear about that. There’s no rush. You can take your time to recover at home and think about it.”
“Yes, I understand.” Xiao Lingyun nodded..
