Farming Space Makes Me Rich

Chapter 187: Business Preparation

Translator: Lonelytree

The sky was still not too bright, but there were already people busying themselves around the shed in the mountains of Taoyuan Village.

"Say, we're all planting vegetables, but why do Lingyu's vegetables grow so well? Look at them. They are so precious."

"Indeed. Look at this cole leaf. It's bigger than our face!"

"The radish is white and tender. It's very crispy and sweet even when eaten raw."

"Ah, you've eaten it before?"

"I have. Two days ago, Qiuying plucked a radish from the field and sliced it. I was curious, so Qiuying shared one with me. It's so delicious. It's crispy and sweet and full of water. It's even more delicious than normal fruits!"

"This eggplant is like a gem. It's so shiny."

The group harvested the vegetables as they chatted.

"But where are they going to sell these six Mu of vegetables?"

"I heard that Lingyu has opened a vegetable shop in the county town. Plus, she is working with a big hotel that has made a big order already."

"Really?"

"Of course. Chunhua told me two days ago."

Liu Chunhua wasn't a big mouth, but too many people looked down on Xiao Lingyu, so it was why she told them about the hotel business and the vegetable shop.

"Oh, no wonder Lingyu never seems worried about sales."

At this point, someone seemed to have thought of something and asked curiously, "Have you noticed that Xiao Lingyu's stomach is a little bigger?"

Someone joined in. "Perhaps she has gained weight? Xiao Lingyu has been staying at home. Even her face is rounder!"

"I don't think she has gained weight. Like what third sister said, only her stomach has gotten bigger."

Then, the working women became silent. They recalled what the Chen Family said that night. Therefore, they suspected that Xiao Lingyu was pregnant. However, with how strict Chen Qiuying was, she wouldn't have allowed Xiao Lingyu to keep the child. Otherwise, the child would be born as a bastard child. How would Xiao Lingyu plan to marry someone with a bastard child? Would Chen Qiuying allow Xiao Lingyu to give birth to this child?

Of course, it was possible that Chen Qiuying didn't notice her daughter was pregnant. Then again, even the outsiders had noticed that Xiao Lingyu's stomach had gotten bigger, so how could Chen Qiuying and her husband not notice?

The outsiders couldn't tell the truth.

"Anyway, let's get back to work. Lingyu said we have to harvest everything before 5.30 am. It's not good to talk bad about others. If Qiuying heard about this, she'd be so mad."

When the other women heard this, they piped down.

Xiao Lingyu and her family were in another shed. Today was their first harvest so they were more than a little excited. They could overhear the women.

The women understood Chen Qiuying very well. Mother Xiao wouldn't mind others insulting her, but she would never accept others talking bad about her daughter. If she was mad and refused to hire them anymore, they would lose their income. It was now the resting period for farmers as they waited for the paddy to grow. So, this job was perfect. They worked for a day and would earn 20 RMB. Even if it was just 10 RMB, that was better than most vegetable farmers would pay.
